After an illness extending over two or three Years William Ford rd Pa seed away on Monday at the ago of eighty-three years. The deceased was born in Ferman- agh, Ireland, but was brought to this country by, his parents when an infant in arms. The family first set- tled in Goderich, where they re- mained for about four years. They then moved to the second concession of Mullett. In 1877 the subject of this sketch was married to Miss Sarah Foster of Varna, and they have ever since been .residents of Clinton. For twenty-seven years Mr. Ford was an einploye of Mr, W. Doherty. He was .a quiet, unassum- ing roan, a member .of St- Paul's church and was most regular in at- tendance until his health failed. IIe is survived by his wife, three brothers and two sisters : John and Robert Ford of town, Matthew on the homestead in Mullett and Mrs. Robs. Coiclough of Goderich town- ship and Mrs. Lindsay of Lapeer, Mich. The funeral took place yesterday. afternoon. After a short private service at the house on Rattenbury street, the remains were taken to St. Paul's church, The Rev, S. E. Mc- Kegney conducted the service. The funeral was under the auspices of the Black Knights, of which deceased was a member. The pallbearers were Messrs, Geo. Vanderburgh,, T. J. Managhan, W. H. Hellyar, J. P. Sheppard, C. Tyner and J. Noble, SUNDAY NIGIIT'S FIRE. The flrebell clanged harshly about eleven o'clock Sunday night, just in time to awaken early -to -beds from their first dreamless sleep, The fire was in the roar of Roy Ball's photograph studio and owing 49 the prompt and persistent action of the firemen it was pretty well confined to the one section where it started, Mr. and Mrs. Ball and little daugh- ter had left early tin the morning for Sombre, Mr., Ball intending 'to re- turn Wednesday, and the apartments were unoccupied at the time or Probably the fire might have been discovered sooner. Mr. Balls photographic apparatus was almost completely destroyed, that part of the, building being badly gutted. The front part of the apart- ments, the, living rooms, were not in- jured by fire but everything was bad- ly damaged by smoke and water, The stores below, the drug store of J. E. Bovey, the jewelery store of R. H. Johnston and Medd's barber shop, were flooded and much dam- age was done to their respective stocks. Mr, Ball estimates his loss at somewhere around $1800 to $2000, with $1000 insurance. The others were also insured: Tile building be- longed to the Smith estate. Mr. Ball will continue his business here, either having the same studio rebuil$ or securing another, The origin of the fire is a mystery as there wag no fire in the apart- meats all day. The su estion is Y gB made that it might have been caused by the concentration ef the sun's rays on a lens, blit the probability is that it will never be known what caused it. It was the worst fire Clinton has had for some time, Huron Deanery Meets in Clinton The annual convention on Tuesday of 'Deanery of IIuron at St. Paul's church, was the most successful one in history. hlVery minister in the Deanery was present. The weather CLINTON'S "HOUSECLEANING." Clinton is in a bad state of . muss this week, They're putting liquid as- phalt on the streets and it's "terr- ible" sticky.- After it gets properly baked in we'd like to see about twenty-four hours steady rain, ,to clean things tip. We've heard of two or three bad tumbles in the black, sticky mess, It would be well if people could keep off the streets as much as possible for a few days. HURON ALL RIGHT. Mr. G. W. Layton, who took a motor trip to Norwich, via Stratford and Woodstock on NLonday, said to The News -Record yesterday in speak- ing of the trip :: "I did not see any section where the crops made a bet- ter. appearaneo than in IIuron county and for the most part they are not nearly so prosperous looking." Pros- pects for a good crop in this section aro, according to many who have been observing, very bright. A God- _erfch township farmer several weeks ago told us that he had never seen fall wheat look more promising. TWENTY YEARS MARRIED. Mr,. and Mrs, W. I -L Hellyar invit- ed a few'of their friends in to tea on Friday evening last, it being the eve of the twentieth anniversary of their wedding day. Although the guests were not supposed to know anything of the significance of the celebration someone ,'got wise" to it and before the evening was over Mr. and Mrs. Hellyar were presented with several pieces of handsome china. Mr. and. Mrs. Hellyar were married twenty years ago in Coining but they have been residents of Clinton for sixteen years. They have many friends in town and the surrounding with who will join ivt h The News -Record in wishing then many more happy years together, MIGHT RAVE BEEN WORSE. What might have been a serious ac- cident occurred yesterday afternoon at the funeral of, the late William Ford. As the cortege proceeded down the plain street the neckyoke on one of the carriages conveying relatives broke, tate tongue dropped and the carriage ran ,forward on the horses' heels. The animals became frightened and turning made right for the sidewalk tial avere stopped by the curb. They were soon . stopped and the occupants of the carriage were taken into an auto. Had it not been that the procession was moving slowly a serious accident might have resulted. SOLDIERS SETTLING HERE. Another soldier who is going • into business in Clinton is Ernest Brit. ton, ,son of Mr. T. E. Britton, who just returned home a few weeks ago. IIe has purchaserthe Conner bakery and confectionery business and • is already in possession. Mr. Britton is a baker, having learned his trade with Mr. H, Bart - tiff. He left here about eight years ago and had considerable experience in St. Thomas before enlisting. He also dict some baking while ' in the army. We wish him success in his new -venture. - HURON STOOD FIRST. • The following is copied from a Stratford paper and will be road with interest by, News -Record read- ers, Miss Lois Holmes,, a Clinton student, had a prominent part in this rare program : "The spirit of rivalry and excite- ment ran high in the Normal school Friday afternoon, as the last of the series of concerts was to be given by the students from IIuron County.

A tableau, "A Camp Scene," found the girls sitting ardnhd a dine -fire, singing and toasting marsh -mallows. This number was very original and was there -Uglily enjoyed by the audience, The last number: a tableau, "Rock of Ages," proved a fitting climax for the program. The meeting closed by singing "God ,Savo the.King.t' The judges after comparing pro. grains, gave the following decision Pot originality and musical perform- ance, Huron stands first. The play, 1)r, 'Devine, by Grey and Bruce stn. dents, and the Massie by Grey and Druce deserve special lmentieu,'t was ideal, malting it pleasant for del- egates from outside points to motor in. Much of the success is to, bo at- tributed to the new rural dean, Rev. A. 'P. G, Clarke of Godoricb, who. had arranged the day's programme so well and who put lots of "pep" into the sessions.

Dean Tucker, M. A., D.C.S., of St. Paul's Cathedral, London ; John Ransford and Rev. Canon Hill. In commencing his address Rov. Doherty congratulated the rural dean on the -great progress made by the Huron Deanery. He announced that the objective of the Anglican For- ward Movement was two and a half millions.. He also gave an outline of the different sums required for several organizations of the Church. He stressed the need of active Chris- tian co-operation on the part of ev- eryone and.the`need of prayer for spiritual uplift. Rev, Irwin said that he would go into detail in his address in the ev- ening, that the Forward. Movement included foreign work and that in the Forward Movement we must have confidence in the leaders. The Very Rev. Dean Tucker traced the growth of the 'Anglican Church in America from the time the first small mission was built in Halifax in 1749 to its present state. He said that the Church is now complete. The whole world is open before us. Never such opportunities 1 a y; before us. The great work accom- plished is due to •saintly persons now laid to rest. The dean paid great tribute to the late Bishops Baldwin and Carmichael, the latter beibg the first rector of St. Paul's, Clinton, in concluding he said "'We shall be un- worthy of these men if ,we do not go forward with this great Forward Movement." The ,genial John Ransford spoke some most practical words. He urg- ed upon all the necessity of increas- ing the clergymen's stipends. Rev. Canon Hill spoke very inter- estingly on the conditions in the North-west. After the addresses an offering was taken. after which the rural dean ex- tended a welcome into Huron Dean- ery to Rev.

Mcliegney, the new rector of St. Paul's, who has already won the hearts of all his people. 4.15—Preliminary organization—Its was moved by Rev. H.. W. Snell, Wingham, P. G.

The presentation of the grand objectives of the Anglican Forward Movement was given by three speak- ers, Rev. W. J. Doherty, who took "The Home Field," dividing his mar- led 'into two heads, "Why the War, and Why the Victory 7" This address was listened to with much interest by all, present. Rev. S. P.
