THE -COUNCIL MEETING.
The councit met on Monday even-
ing, all members present:
There was`a good deal' of discussion
but little- business went through.
The tax rate for the year is fixed
at tlirtp-four, mflis,
The salary of Ii, Carrick was in-
creased by; $50.
The Public school asks for $5890
for this year's expenditure, e
The Fire and Water Committee re-
commended the purchase of a number.
of necessary supplies.
T. Churchill was appointed a fire-
man in place of P, 0, Reynolds who
bad resigned.
A ear of tartan, has been ordered
and it is expectedit will be, on hand
in good time. Profiting from, the
experience gained last year the street
committee expect to be able to put
the streets into first class shape, as
far ;as ,conditions will allow, the com-
ing season.
Chairman Cooper of the Property)
f7osnmittee reported that -needed re-
pairs had been made in the town
hall. He also asked that the com-
mittee be 'given power, in conjunction
with the Library Committee, to
plant some shrubbery on the market
square.
The warmest discussion of the
meeting centred around a couple of
notions introduced bp Councillor.
Cooper, One to increase the Mollie
fee for the selling of cigarettes and
the other to amend or change bylaw
ST o, 5, 1887, re the billiard room.
[n speaking to his motion regarding
Ilio cigarette Itemises Councillor
cooper said ; "The fact that two
,tenses were taken out last, year
rove that those 'coffin nails' bring
m considerable revenue and - there ` is
little doubt but that the inosines
Being done would warrant a larger
icense fee." IIe suggested that the
fee be $100, and that such license
should be cancelled in case of a vie -
alien of the law. When the vote.
vas taken Councillors Cooper and
Sheppard wore its only supporters.
The other motion provided, for an
ncrease in the license fee for the
tool room but as part 11 this year's
ee bad been already paid, this
clause was wititdrdwe, It also stip.
dated that 00' profane language
hould, be used in the rooms .and
hat boys under •twenty-one should

A. SUCCESSFUL,; SUPPER. •
The_council bast enjoyed a tmtuber
of oyster suppers during ;the past
winter but the one on Monday even-
ing, probably the last one for the
season, giben in the board room when
the town ofcialsentertained the
council, the press and a few friends,
was perhaps the inose enjoyable
of all.
Clerk Macpherson occupied the chair
and et was generally conceded by
those, present that while he is second
to none as a town clerk he also es -
cels as host and toastmaster. Dur-
ing the course of the evening Mr.
Macpherson proved his knowledge of
Bible history by an apt reference to
the only •oceasiou on which a town
clerk is mentioned in the Bible, and
recalled the fact that whena riot
was tin progress in the ancient city
of Ephesus it avis the quiet common
sense of the town clerk, which ap-
peased tine people and quelled the dis-
turbance.
Everyone present was called upon

THE CHANGE A GOOD ONE.
At the beginning of the pear The
News -Record, after having long con-
sidered the natter, advanced the
subscription price from one dollar a
year to one dollar and a half, with
fifty cent's added for postage on
those papers going to a -foreign coun-
try.
IDr the. case of- papers going to
Clinton men,wha are serving the Em-
pire in France The News -Record, pays
that postage itself, charging only the
regular subscription for those pap-
ers. We have had ever since' the
commencement of the war and have
now a number of those subs on our
list.
Long before the new rate went in-
to effect people time and again prof-
fered- 11.50 in Payment ,of their sub-
scription and many coming in to re-
new during the past couple of months
nave planked down the extra itaif
dollarwithout a murmur. There are
a few, however, who have. complain-
ed a gond deal before doing so and a
few, it must be confessed,, who have
discontinued their subscription rath-
,er..than pay the small advance,
This is all right, of course, Every-
one knows his owe. business best and
while we dislike striking 'a name
front our list, especially if it be that
of a man who renews promptly, we
recognize the right of everyone to
manage his own affairs and hold no
grudge at all against the few, and
after all there are but a few,.' who
have seen fit to discontinue their sub-
scription:
We think perhaps it leap be a mis-
take on their part and that they
will see that later and come back;
Indeed, in a couple, et 'cases that has
already happened, One man did
without the paper, one week then
came in ail renewed saying that "it
was lonely around the house on
Thursday evening without The News
Record,” The other matrtwaited two
weeks before coming in with the re-
quest; that las name be again placed
on the list,
We have also had during the past
three months" "a amber of entirely
new Kanner, added to our -list,:enough
to balance: up ifiaely those who leave
fallen off.
We wonid like to extend our
thanks to those who have renewed
and to say how 'much We appreciate
the fairness ,of these who recognize
and admit rho' heed .of an "advance in
price and accept 11 as they accept
Ilia unavoidable advance in other
eotnmodibfes.

ceptable preacher , in the Baptist

ity are most fortunate in having so
able a' than as Mr: Ford for available

LITTLE ' LOCALS.
The Pastime Club had their usual
Easter dance on .Tueuiay evening,
Mr. Walter Downs has purchased
Mrs, Beacom's house; on Ontario St,
'rhe streets have been cleaned up
this week and the town is putting on
a nice spring -housecleaned appearance.
Mr, Geo, Watts has Moved into
town this week and is getting nicely
settled in his residence on Princess
street.
Mr. James McMurehie of Blyth is
contemplating the purchase of a
residence in Clinton and it the deal
goes through be will remove his fam-
ily to town, . •
Word 'has been received in town that
Mrs. (Dr.) Struthers, (formerly Miss
Eclna Cooper) and babe of China ar-
rived Safely in San Francisco on
March' 25th, After.- a visit with
friends in Ontario, Calif., they will
come on to Clinton.
HOPE IT IS. A IVIISTAKE.
Mr. R. J. Draper, father of Murray
Draper, received a letter from Lon-
don on Tuesday telling him that a
Military Medal won by his son was
to be presented to him and asking
how they would wish it sent,
the officer writing the letter
assuming that the soldier had made
the supreme sacrifice. As no notice
of the kind 1tad,reached here the par-
ents and friends were much shocked
and, startled. They wired London
andO twft and to >. as, et further
.y n o tet.
Particulars. have been received. But
it is allot/get that some mistake
has ,been made- as a ,letter Was re-
ceived fromMurraylast week
and in
it he said that he was sending home
a medal he had won as he did not
want to earry, it with hire. The
probability is that instead of it be-
ing sent direct to his next of kin it
has bean sent to London. It is hop-
ed that this explains the matter,
anyway,.
AMONG THE .CHURCHES,
The pastor's subject} an Sunday, ev-
ening fly the Baptist church will be :
"Indications of the Imminent Com-
ing of Christ," the nest of a series
of sermons on the second com'ring of

LET'S ALL RAISE RABBITS.
Many Clinton people were interest-
ed in a family, of bunnies which were
exhibited in O'Neil's -window on Sat-
urday last.. Bunnies are always of
course more or less in evidence around
Easter time but special interest at-
taches this season as, the Conserva-
tion of Resources Committee is . ad-
vocating .tire raising of rabbits in ei-
der to help solve the question of a
plentiful supply of fresh meat,

FOR EXEMPTED MEN.
Following the example of tine Un-
ited States the C'anad'ian Government
is sending out questionnaires to ,each
of the men exempted under the 11411-
]tary Service Act. The idea is to-
make
vmake for a uniform application of
the `Act. These questionnaires will
be sent: by registered mail to all ex-
empted mu, who must return them
properly filled out,: without delay or
forfeit their exemption certificates.,
Any change of ,address should be at
once communicated to W. E. Wilmer,
Deputy Registrar, London; Ont., as
failure to receive questionnaire will
be regarded as of the same effect as
failure to return properly filled in.
The general public is invited to as-
si' the Government n
st oeltlen •h
a to the fullest
t
possible extent in an even and just
adtninistratiott of the Act. ,
