CLINTON' NOT BADLY OFF,
Clinton has small need to complain
of train service, though sometimes
one does hear: a •grouch. We have,
however, two trains a day each way
on the Stratford -Toronto line and
ono each way on the L. 14. & B. The
towns itt the northern 'part of 'Huron
and in -Bruce have much less satisfac-
tory railway accommodation. There
are advantages in living in the Hub.
AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT,
Mrs. :4. Osborne of Merlin, s, who
has been visiting her, father, Mr,
Thos. Sheppard, for spine time past,
had the 'misfortune to fall on Friday
last and fracture 'loth bones id her
right arm just above the wrist. Mrs.
Osborne had planned to go home on
Monday as her son was leaving . for
London for the military training
camp. • She went yesterday.
Three years ago, while visiting here;.
Mrs. Osborne met witha similar ac-
cident, having broken the other, arm
on that occasion. Her visits to
this part of the provitwe, seem thus
to •turn out rather unfortunately,
LAID TO R15ST. •

lock of Toronto, widow of the late

pallbearers were . Messrs. '\ . J.
Paisley, J. Wiseman, J.Cuningltame

The lateMrs. Matlock passed away
at the house of her son in Toronto on
Tuesday, She will ..bf- remembered
by many of the oldercitizens, as
during her residence in Clinton she
was known for many engaging qual-
ities. She is survived •-by one sen,
Dr. W. Matlock, who was one of the
prominent physicians of 'Toronto be-,
fore the war but wilo has been over-
seas almost since its commencement.

panied the remains of his sister to

her husband, who died twenty-eight
years ago.

TALKED) OVER P. U, SIAT'PERS.
The Public Utilities Commission
and the members of the town council
had a ,neoting en Monday evening.
when they talked over the matter of

the purpose ofendeavoring to come
to an understanding as to what is
best to be done, The Commission

MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE.
Mr. Fred itfuteh is attending to his
work in Harland Bros. these day$
but he's wearing a strait jacket and,
like Agag, "walking delicately." The
reason is :that he took a tumble the
other day and as a result has a
couple of broken ribs, and those who
have had experience say that broken
ribs are anything
but pleasant com-
pany.
pm-pan . The wonder is that more
bones haven't been smashed on the
streets of Clinton during the past
six weeks. A good many have come
down, to the injury of their dignity,
but a fall that doesn't result in any-
thing worse than a jar to Due's dig-
nity is not considered of much ac-

CLINTON' NOT BADLY OFF,
Clinton has small need to complain
of train service, though sometimes
one does hear: a •grouch. We have,
however, two trains a day each way
on the Stratford -Toronto line and
ono each way on the L. 14. & B. The
towns itt the northern 'part of 'Huron
and in -Bruce have much less satisfac-
tory railway accommodation. There
are advantages in living in the Hub.
AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT,
Mrs. :4. Osborne of Merlin, s, who
has been visiting her, father, Mr,
Thos. Sheppard, for spine time past,
had the 'misfortune to fall on Friday
last and fracture 'loth bones id her
right arm just above the wrist. Mrs.
Osborne had planned to go home on
Monday as her son was leaving . for
London for the military training
camp. • She went yesterday.
Three years ago, while visiting here;.
Mrs. Osborne met witha similar ac-
cident, having broken the other, arm
on that occasion. Her visits to
this part of the provitwe, seem thus
to •turn out rather unfortunately,

prominent physicians of 'Toronto be-,
fore the war but wilo has been over-

MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE.
Mr. Fred itfuteh is attending to his
work in Harland Bros. these day$
but he's wearing a strait jacket and,
like Agag, "walking delicately." The

have had experience say that broken
ribs are anything
but pleasant com-
pany.

bones haven't been smashed on the
streets of Clinton during the past

but a fall that doesn't result in any-
thing worse than a jar to Due's dig-
