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,

in history. hlVery minister in the

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

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.
The president, Miss Herr, occupied
the chair. The meeting was opened
by singing oltorus of "0 Canada."
The next number, Cabaret De Ritz,
was a novel feature of the program,
The girls in their light dresses, seated
around the tables, formed a very
pretty background • for the following
program : Solo, Miss L. Homes; in-
strumental duet, Misses M, Elliott
and H. Herold ; solo, Miss Shilling -
law ; duet, Misses Sanders and Rowe,
'phe Classic, read by Miss Laundy,
was followed by a tableau,
"Mammy's Coal Black Rose," which
brought cheers of applause from the
audience., The next number announc-
ed was a dialogue, which although
short was very amusing. 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

ance, Huron stands first. The play,

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. The chief topic in
hand was the "Anglican Forward
Movement." For the convenience of
the visitors daylight saving ,time pre-
vailed for ail meetings.
The day was commenced at 10.15
by a celebration of Holy Communion

ney assisted by Rurah Dean Clarke,

A splendid address by= Mrs. War-
nock, Galt, subject : "The history,
aims and motives of the W. A." Mrs.
Warnock traced the growth of the
W. A. from a very small beginning in
1885 up the present time when it is

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. Archdeacon Jones -Bate-
man of Goderich and to Rev. S. E.

led 'into two heads, "Why the War,
and Why the Victory 7" This address

by all, present. Rev. S. P. 'trine

beginning of his address he said, "We
cannot have a forward movement un-
til we have an upwatd movement."
