The male quartette of Wesley ehurch, `consisting 62 Messrs., Lobb, Andrews, Doherty and Potter, with Mise Cantelon as accompanist, went to' Thames Road Presbyterian' church on Monday evening -4o 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 same charge. The congregation presented Dr. Fletcher with a purse con- taining $1500.' Dr. Fletcher is very_ well known by many Cinton as he has an 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 reproves from Huron county's as tlrvities 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. Wni. McLaren Doig, L. L. D., who for a number of years farmed in Tnekersmith, 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. Mr. Doigt attended 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 my heart for the old town and its people." We trust that this interest will cause Rini to visit us occasionally, even though business will not call hien hither, as in the past. FORM 2 Honours: N. Treleaven '86.2, R. Flale 81.7, L.

On Friday. Waning hast the Owen 6 e Ot e Sovuvd branch of the Clinton iCnittin g Company celebrated, the first' anni- vetrsary of its establishment in Ontar- io's Baby City, "The'Scepery City", as it has 'elected to,, call itself, "for chert,,, Tiro members of the stale had cleared one room for the occasion and decorated it quite artistically as a re- eeption 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 nuniber of the city alder- men carne up to offer their' congratu- lations and goal 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 five and; promptly at that hour the people began to congregate, no doubt anxious to -show 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 thirty- two cents, one cent for every year of the 'life of the Auxiliary. And "they continued to cone until about five hundred people were •fecj. 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. AMONG THE CHURCHES.

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 its 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 ii: profit- able to have it moved and rebuilt somewhere else,'Tn cane 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 110 rink in town, and skating is one of the finest and most wholesome forms of exercise. DEATH OF FORMER PASTOR. 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 iii England sev- enty years ago, a son of the late W. J. Howson, a wholesale leather mer- chant. When a lac] of seventeen he took his first charge in England and showed such ability as a speaker that he was brought to Canada by the late William Morley Purichon, who was ranked as one of the greatest minis- ters of his time. When twenty years of age Mr. Howson took his first charge in Canada, at Toronto June - tin, but later received a call to St. Marys. He later had charges in Clin- ton, (Rattenbury street church,) Mit- chell, Wiisgham,.. Wallaeeburg and Glencoe. In 1902 he went from 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. FIe is survived by four daughters. One daughter, Miss Mabel isiiving 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 him during his Pastorate here. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon et two o'clock. TIIE HUMAN SIDE CONSIDERED. A strong plea for observance of the human note in the administration of such hones was advanced by Mr. 3, 13. Reynolds, Superintendent of the Apron County Hone, in speaking to members of the Ontario Association of Managers of the Homes for Aged and Infirm at their first animal 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 wns the human note—a spirit of kindness. "In Huron we look on all our in- mates As our own 'flesh and blood," entinued Mr, Reynolds. "Wo feel that in the worst of them there is much, good, and in the best of them a great deal of good. They are all human tragedies. They respond to kindness quicker than childreltt do, None of us but might sone day have to enter a home for the aged and in- (rrm, just as they have done, They are not paupers; they aro our von. amble elders on Whom fortune has frowned." In Huron County the Home for the Aged and Infirm was conducted by n staff of Mr, and Mrs. Reynolds and One other paid assistant. There were 91 inmates. How was this accomplished? Simply by nialciing i i inmate tr ttass n n ever u a y by g g Yr t or her Some task to co "They take pride in their Work, Wo snake them feel it it their borne, and, What is mere, we feed then, on the best We Can possibly procure. The result 18 We ate a happy family," 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 -Batten- 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. Cosen.s to her new home in Winghant and also Miss Turner, wherever site 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 theca. ' 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 mere night have been obtained 12..a ren ly market could have been assured,' for ..the finished product. It was a good class of fr,'ut,- 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 bar. Case, "this has been an exceptinally short season. But 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 Canton for a while each -season, anyway." They are still busy at the evapora- tor finishing up the last of the drying, packing the stook, etc., and will be probably, for another week. GIRLS' AUXILIARY FIN, REPORT.

London Road The West End Beef Ring held its annual meeting at the home of Mr. Win. Black 011 Monday evening. The ladiee .of _the members' families were present oti'this OCC414on and the bus- iness meeting clic] not faire -up all the time bf the company for a very.311inp- - tuous fowl supper- was served, and heartily enjoyed 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 whole term, were re-elec- ted as follows: president G. B. Hanley vice-president, J. G. Crich,secretary, Ira W. Johns, treasurer, Geo. W. Lay- ton. The directors, wino have been changed owing to removals, etc., aro as follows: W. H. 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 swine' 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 the New York Stock Ex- change; but the only way to "get in" is to patiently wait until someone moves away or for. any reaso1 given up.his place. The Beef Ring has been a success in this particular instance, and Inas served its patrons well. Miss Ruth Walkinshaw spent a cKnigoupleht. of days during the past week as the guest of her aunt, Mrs, Me.
