WELCOME THE COMING, F,,TC,; The three -linkers bad another soc- ial evening on Tuesday when, after the routine business was transacted, a reception was 'tendered to Mr., Wil- mer Wallis, who returned last week from overseas, and Mr, Jr Mulhol- land, another member who leaves shortly to make his home in Winni- peg, was presented with a pair oft cuff links. Dr. Thompson occupied the chair and speeches were made by various members, including the guests of honor, MISS JANET WILSON. In the passing of Janet Wilson last week Clinton lost one of its most notable citizens, one who for nearly thirty years exorcised a great in- fluence on the minds of the youth of the town as she for that period held a position on the Public .school teaching stats. Janet Wilson was a daughter of the late Peter Wilson and was born near Glasgow, Scotland, When she was about six years of age the fam- ily came to Canada, settling in Clin- ton and, with the exception of one year spent in the State of Illinois, Clinton continued to be the Wilson home. Miss Wilson was educated in the Public and High schools here and on receiving hor certificate she took ,up her life work. She first taught three years in Blyth then one year at Both- well, seven in Tuckersntitit and then became, •a member of the Clinton teaching staff and had she but fin- ished the 1018 term would have put in thirty, years here. After over forty years of continuous teaching Miss Wilson was looking forward to retiring and taking a rest but it was not to be. She wished to retire at midsummer last but yielding to per- suasion she returned after the vaca- tion and, though notin her usual health, sho taught until the school was closed owing to the flu epidemic in November. One might say that she "died in harness." One is re- minded here of an epitaph read some- where : "I will answer, Lord, ,when thou callest ire, but do not call neo soon for I am very tired and must rest a while," Anyone who knew Janet Wilson will know that when she hears her Lord call she will has- ten to answer. Miss Wilson was a "real" teacher, as many of her former pupils will testify, At Christmas last year Miss Wil- son was made the recipient of a testimonial from former pupils. She was presented with a book containing the names of hundreds of her former pupils and with , many letters of warn] appreciation. Miss Wilson's school work seemed to come first tothe casual observer but probably she herself would have put her church work foremost as she was of the old•stock of covenant- ers. A life-long member of Willis church site was much interested in its welfare. The Women's Mission- ary Society claimed much of her interest and labor and for live years she was its president. She was a great Bible student, having, no doubt, been brought up on the Short- er Catechism. The story is told that at a meeting of the Teacher's Association here at one time the question of religious instruction in the schools came up and the late Iuspector John Robb expressed the opinion that many teachers were not qualified to give such instruc- tion. "Indeed," said he, "I doubt if there .is a teacher horn who could give us the names of rthe twelve aostla, sinstant JanetWil- son3n an ]s P was upon her feet and, begg- ing permission of the chair, she be- gan, "Now the names of the 'twelve apostles are these : Simon, who was called ,Peter and Andrew his brother, etc." But Mr. Hoag of the Loudon Normal,. who was present,appealed ed to the chair : "Is there anyone here," he asked -"who is capable of checking the lady if she makes a mis- take ?" Janet Wilson's influence upon the characters of the cbildreu who pass- ed through her hands will never be known until the Greatgni Judgment Day, Staunch and true and depend- able as the heatherclad )tills of her native land, one is reminded of the characters which ;J, M. Barrie and Tan McLaren have trade famous by the straightforward, unassuming life of Janet Wilson, One sister, Miss Agnes, remains in the old hoThe at the end of Orange street, and a half brother, Peter Wil- son, resides in Detroit. To this sister, who has lost her life-long companion, the Sympathy of the Whole community goes out. The funeral took place on Thurs- day afternoon, the services at house and graveside being conducted by the Rev. J, 16, Hogg. The pallbearers, wete ; Jas. Scott, ';John Wiseman, Wm. A.

WELL KNOWN LUMBER MAN. Word was received in town last week of the death of Mr. Boyd of Bobcaygeon, father-in-law of Mr. C. E. Dowding. Mr. Boyd had been an invalid for some years. He had large. interests in lumber and during the past Dight or nine months Mr. Dow- ding has had almost complete charge of his affairs. COMMUNITY MEETINGS.

DECORATED BY THE KING, At an investiture at Buckingham Palace on Saturday last eight Can- adian officers and onenursing-sister received decorations from the King. Among the officers was Capt.

The News -Record extends congret- ulgtions and good wishes, which will be echoed by many friends of both bride, and groom in town and sur- rounding vicinity, KEEP YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU. On Monday morning the Daylight Saving came into effect as far as tate railroads, were concerned and all week the postoffico and express people have had to observe the new time, It means the getting up of ah hour earlier in the morning but it also means earlier mails and an earlier night train. Tho noon mails, even though they may be late, are now sorted and 'ready at noon and the latest train is now due at ten - eleven, tbat 1 is by the old time, which this town still observes and will probably continue serve, bto observe, P Y Many 01 the cities are adopting the new time. ,. .The Daylight Savingctobserv- ede Da 1 t A as Y 6 last year was s 11 right and work- ed out to advantage here, giving a longer evening for w rl o r recrea- tion, o t o ea g nnever anygreat do but there was n v call ter it and the rural commun- ities, With which we are surrounded, were not as a rule favorable to it. The action of the railways in ad- opting on new time has been much criticized and they aro said to be defying the Government. But then, last year the farmers, who :would hot adopt the new time, defied the Gov- ernment, too, and nothing seemed to happen to them. The railways were hitlueneed no doubt by the action of the United States in adopting the new tune and prefeit ed that to get- ting out entirely lfeW timetables. We will just have to boar in mind that all mails, troths, eto.t start just one Hour earlier than the time- table 'tells imetable'tells us and love our clocks as they are.

The News -Record is informed that unless there,is a more decided de- mand en the part of the citizens the town council is not disposed to adopt the new hours under the scjleme for daylight saving., Thefarm- ers are decidedly opposed to chang- ing, and the merchants of the town are not enthusiastic over the change as they claire it means in most cases longer hours for them, especially on Saturdays.
