Tho male quartette of Wesley
chureh, consisting of Messrs:. Lobb,
Andrews, Doherty and Potter, with
Miss Cantelon as accompanist, went
to Thames •Road. Presbyterian church
on Monday evening__o assist with the
program at a farewell supper given
for the retiring pastor, the Rev. Colin
Fletcher, who is about to take a rest
from his active labours after a minis-
try of forty-three years, in the satire
charge. The congregation presented
Dr, Fletcher with a purse con-
taining 51500. Dr, Fletcher is
very_ well known . by many
in, Cinton as he- has 'en several
occasions occupied the pulpit of Wil-
lis church. 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.

CELEBRATED FIRST BIRTHDAY,
On Friday. evening Last the Owen

Company celebrated, the first anni-
vot'sary of its establishment in Outer-
io's Baby City, "The "Scenery City',
as it has elected to,, call itself, "for
shTheort.,,

cleared one room for the occasion and
decorated it quite artistically as a re-
ception and assembly room. 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

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

be held in Itoon 15 Y. M. C. A. build-
ing, 40 College st. on Monday even-
ing next at eight o'clock. Election of

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

TWO LADIES HONOURED.
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.

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.

Ira W. Johns, treasurer, Geo. W. Lay-

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-

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.
