A couple of cars went down to the supper on Monday even- ing, friends of the members of the quartette. SEVERS'LINK WITH HURON. A recent change which took place at-Kippen severs a link with the past and removes from Huron county's ac- tivities a man who has always taken more or less interest in this locality and who has very vivid recollections of earlier years. We refer to the pulling out of Mr. Win. McLaren Doig, L. L. D., who for a number of years farmed in Tuckersmith, but ow - nig to the necessities of his law prac- tise, has rented his farm and sold his thoroughbred stock and is now de- voting all his time to his practise in Port Huron. u on. 114r. Doig � attencle ci the Clinton high School, before it became a Collegiate, when "Turnbull, Robb Perry and McLean were teachers", and was a student of the Clinton Mod- el school the first year it was held here, forty-three years ago, the late D. M. Matlock being principal. "There were giants in those days among the teachers," remarked Mr. Doig, "and I still have a warm spot in nay heart for the old town and its people." We trust that this interest will cause him to visit us occasionally, even though business will not call hint hither, as in the past. AMONG THE CHURCHES.

Cards and dancing were indulged in during the evening, the guests being the man- agers and staff and their friends, and a very pleasant time was spent. The Mayor and a number of the city alder- men came up to offer their congratu- lations and good wishes to the young industry, Manager Libby went up ' to Owen Sound for the occasion and his son, Mr. Frank Libby, being manager of the branch, and his grandson, Mr. Emerson. Libby, also being there, there were three generations of the family present. , SUCCESSFUL SUPPER. On Thursday evening last the W. M, S. of Ontario street church gave a supper in honour of the thirty-se- cond anniversary of the organization of the Auxiliary. Supper was served from half past Live • and promptly at that hour the people began to congregate, no doubt anxious to -chow their good -will to- ward the live organization whose members were acting as hostesses, but also eager to enjoy a nice chicken supper for the small price of tliirty- two cents, one cent for every year of the life of the Auxiliary. And they continued to conte until about five hundred people were fed. The ladies had made ample provis- ion for two or three hundred, think- ing that would be about the extent of the need, and it was small wonder that the chicken and other things be- gan to fail toward the last. 'Howev- er' they sent out for more goodies and everybody ;was served, the last course being the birthday cake, a huge affair with many candles, which occupied a place of honour just in- side the door as one entered the lec- ture room. It was a great success and the ladies have reason to be gratified. The proceeds of the supper will go into the missionary fund. DEATH OF FORMER- PASTOR. Next Sunday the Sunday school will hold its anniversary. The preacher of the day will bo the Rev. IT, D. Moyer of Goderich, who will preach to the Sunday school in the morning, address an open session of the school hi the afternoon and preach to the young people in 'the evening. It is expected he will sing at the ev- ening service, A children's choir will lead the singing in the morning. The Sunday school executive is asking for an offering of $100 on this occasion. Next Wednesday evening a union prayer meeting will be held in the iecture room of this church. On Tuesday evening the meeting will be at the hoine of Mr0. H. Carter of e is. • 1�rine ss stres itieinbers are choosing The Leagtte g Aides for a whirlwind canvas of the towns for More and magazines, pro, coeds of the sale of which will be divided between the orphans of Ilur- ope and the League, J„ • LI'PJ LE LOCALS.

A. build- ing, 40 College st. on Monday even- ing next at eight o'clock. Election of officers and other business will conte before the meeting and the Rev. J. A. Robinson, rector of St, Phillip's church, Spadina Avenue, formerly of Clinton, will give an address on "Hur- on Reminiscences:" Addresses will al- so be given by other prominent mem- bers. of the Association and refresh- ments will be served. MAY LOSE OUR RINK. There is a rumor to the effect that Mr. Trench of Teeswater, who owns and operates the rink, is about to sell it to some 'parties in Walkerton and have it removed to that town. A special meeting of the council will probably be held tonight to endeavor to arrive at some plan by which the rink may be left where it is. Clinton would be sorry to lose 'Rs rink and a serious effort should be made to retain it. The great advance in the price -of materials since the rink was built would no doubt make iti profit- able to have it moved and rebuilt somewhere else, 1n thee a better lo- cation could be found. But we trust that arrangements will be made whereby it will be retained. The skat- ing public, and especially the hockey boys, would miss their winter .sport if there was no rink in town, and skating is one of the finest and most wholesome forms of exercise. Rev. William Giles Howson died at his late residence, 71 Askin street, London. early Sunday morning. Mr. Howson had been ill for a month, but his death was unexpected. For the past six years he has been in rather poor health, suffering from stomach trouble, but was never taken seriously ill until Saturday. Deceased was born in England sev- enty years ago, a son of the late W. J. Howson, a wholesale leather mer- chant. When a lad of seventeen he took his first charge in England and showed such ability as a epeaker that he was brought to Canada by the late William ltIorley Punchon, who was ranked as one of the greatest minis- ters of his time. When twenty years of age Mr. Howson took lits first charge in Canada, at Toronto June - tin, but later received a call to St. Marys. He later had charges in Clin- ton, (Rnttenbury street church,) 8112- chell, Wir.pham, . Wallaceburg and Glencoe. In 1902 he wean froom Glen- coe to Askin Street, London, a charge he held until 1905, when he retired. in 1887 he married Miss Elizabeth Nixon, of Mono Road, Ontario, He is survived by four daughters. One daughter, Miss Mabel is.living at home. Mr. Howson's wife died a year ago last July. Rev, Mr. Howson was considered one of the most eloquent preachers in the Methodist Church of Canada,, He will be remembered with kindliest feelings by many in Clinton and vicinity, who knew hien during his pastorate here. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock, THE HUMAN SIDE CONSIDERED. A strong plea .for observance of the human note in the administration of such homes was advanced by Mr. J. B. Reynolds, Superintendent of the Huron County Home, in speaking to members of the Ontario Association of Managers of the Homes for Aged and Infirm at their first annual con- vention held this afternoon, says a despatch from Hamilton in yester- day's Globe: Mr. Reynolds deplored the fact that so much attention was given to the economic management of such in- stitutions. He would remind those concerned that the economic phase was secondary. What was essential was the human note—a spirit of kindness. "In Huron we look on all our in- mates tis our own flesh and blood," entinued Mr. Reynolds. "We feel that in the worst of them there is much good, and in the best of them a great Ileal of good. They are all human tragedies. Tliey respond to kindness quicker than children do, None of us but might some day'have to enter a home for the aged and in- form, just as they have done. They are not paupers; they are oar ven- erable elders on whom fortune has frowned," In Huron County the Bone for the Aged and Infirm was conducted by a staff of Mr, and Mrs. Reynolds and one other paid assistant. There Were 91 inmates. How was this accomplished? SiMply by making inmate trust assi 'min Duet n a b Y Ys Y R g m task do The him or her some to y take pride in their work.

Before their final departure from "Traveller's Aid" is doing to assist Miss Sarah Turner, and her sister, Miss Mary Turner, were presented, the former with a handsome cut glass comport by the Ladies' Aid of Wesley church and the latter with a fountain pen by the League. The Turner family have been active mem- bers of the Wesley and the old Rattan - bury street congregation ever since their arrival' in Clinton several years ago and the closing of the home and the departure from town of the last members of the family is a distinct loss to the church. Good wishes fol- low Mrs. Cosens to her new hone in Wingham and also Miss Turner, wherever she locates. She will prob- ably remain with her sister during the winter and take a trip 'west, where many members of the family reside, in the spring, Many Clinton friends will miss them. EVAPORATOR SEASON OVER. The evaporator closed clown last week, that is the paring of apples ceased, after operating for about sev- en weeks, a somewhat short season. About eight thousand bushels of apples were taken in and ]handled this season and many more might have been obtained if. a ready market could have been assured. fur the finished product. It was a good clash o` fruit,, too, which offered and sufficient help was available. and things went along most smoothly. "We used to start in September and run until nearly Christmas; remarked Mr. Case, "this has been an exceptinally short season. Brit one must take the lean, with the fat. We've had an exceptionally pleasant time and if we break even this season we'll be very well. pleased. We enjoy getting back to Croton for a while each season, anyway." They are still busy at the evapora- tor finishing up the last of the drying, Packing the stock, etc., and will be Probably, for another week. GIRLS' AUXILIARY FIN, REPORT.

Mr. Hawke and instrumental selections were given by Mr and Mrs, Oliver Welsh and the Orange Orchestra. • A contest was put on, too, by way of variety, and at the conclusion a very appetizing lunch was served by the wives and daughters of the mem- bers.

London Road The West End Beef Ring held its annual meeting at the hone of Mr. IVni, Black on Monday evening. The ladies of.. the members' families were Present on'tliie ncnasion and the bus- iness meeting did not t1tko tin, all the time of the company for a very ninp- tuous fowl supper was served, and heartily enj'oycd by between eighty and one hundred persons who were Present. This was the winding up of the business of the thirteenth year of the ring's operations, it being one of the most successful organizations of the kind in existence hereabout. The old officers, who have held office during the wihole term, were re-elec- ted as follows: president G. 13, Hanley vice-president, J. G. Crieh,secretary, Ira W. Johns, treasurer, Geo. W. Lay- ton. The directors, who have been changed owing to removals, etc„ aro as follows: W. II. Crich, T. Living- ston, J. T. McKnight. As proof that the members are well served by the ring 13,392 pounds of meat have been consumed during the year, an average of 446 pounds per week. Mr. .Jos. Rivers has been the butcher all these years and so satisfactory has his work been that there scents to be no question about his reappointment as long as he will retain the .position. The ring is very popular, places be- ing almost as eagerly sought after as seats on tate New York Stock Ex- change, but the only way to "get in" is to patiently wait until someone moves away or for any reason gives up. his place. The Beef Ring Inas been a success in this particular instance, and has served its patrons well.
