Mr. Fred Case was with itis father. this season again and next season may manage this end of the business hhnself. ,However. Mr. A.

The attendance at the meeting for the consideration of the Soldiers' Memorial on Tuesday evening brought out a much larger number of people, than last week's meeting did. Maybr _Cooper occupied the chair and Mr. J. Scott was appoint- ed secretary for the evening, Mr. R. E. Manning reported for the com- mittee, explaining what had been done toward arranging for the erec- tion of a tneinorial. Mr. Ball had a design, prepared especially for the place, of a monument to be erected in front of the postoffice and the meeting had the opportunity of ex- amining it. It was an exceedingly handsome design and would 'cost in red granite $10,000 and in grey $5,000. After some discussion a mo- tion that the council be asked to sub mit a bylaw to the people at the Jan- uary elections for the raising by de- bentures of $10,000 for the erecting of this monument was defeated. The general• feeling of the meeting seemed to be that while $10,000 was not too much to spend for a memor- ial it was a lot of money to put in- to one piece of granite, especially as the site was not approved by the large majority of those present, Discussion was'very free and the general wish seemedtobe to arrive at some decision which would meet with the approval of the largest number of people and be the most fitting tribute to the memory of the men, The idea of a park, with a smaller Monument, and a fund which would care for the annual up -keep of the park, found favor with many and it was thought would not cost any more than the large monument. Reeve Ford reported .that Mr. S. S. Cooper had told him that he was quite willing to sell his property. facing • on Ontario and Wfllisen streets for a parksito, Also the suggestion was - matte that a new Public school must be built in the very near future -and as it would not likely be built on the old site that it would be available for a park - site. One of the objections against this Man IVIS the fact that at least two or throe years would elapse be fore such a plan could be carried out, Tho result was that a com- mittee, consisting of Col Combe, M. R. Sharpe, Mrs. Fair and Mrs. Bry- done, was appointed to make equie- res regarding the gemming of a site and report to a public meeting as 50011 as possible. If a suitable and practical s01Om0 is presented to the people there will he no difficulty about the raising of the funds for soldier's' memorial of which the town will never have Season to be ashamed. - ' • TiIE BOY SCOUTS. On Tuesday evening a tails on "First Aid" was given to the boys by Mr. Fred Sloman, late of the C. A. M. 0. LUCKY. HUNTERS. Clinton hunters have all returned, Meetly with bulging game bags.

Ball were duels shooting at Sombre and report good luck also. The h. c, o. 1. should get a knock -out blow in these households during the -next week or so. How long will venison keep fresh and nice? ACCIDENTALLY SI-IOT. Mr, N. A. Phoenix of Hamilton, who was on a hunting trip in the Parry Sound District, was accident- ally shot by a am -tirade who . was handling a loaded revolver. Two shots penetrated the fleshy part of the left arm above the elbow, indict- ing injuries which will lay hini up for some time. .Mrs. Phoenix was visiting in Clinton when her husband returned from his trip and although he returned sooner than he had in- tended" he diel not tell her the reas- on and she was unaware of his ac- cident until she returned home Sat- urday last. A larger number of ac- cidents than usual seem to have hap- pend in the hunting fields this seas- on, although this one happened in camp and must have been the result of carelessness in the handling of -'a gun.

Nov. 30111, unless a change in the situation renders such a reduction unnecessary. The probe - is that -there will only be one train.each way on the L. H. & B. and possibly the early train from To- ronto will be cancelled. We struggled, along with inadequate train service for two or three winters when the par was on but it seems the circumstan- ces have not been muck improved. CAR BURNED.
