Some misunderstanding has occurr- ed regarding the age limit in con- nection with the registration of the Ivan and woman power, which is to take place throughout Canada on Saturday, June 22nd. There is an idea prevalent that those over sixty aro to a exempt. b e t. B m ut this is1 P at error. Everyone from sixteen up- wards must. register. Most people will take this as a patriotic duty and will register without compulsion but in case anyone should be inclin- ed to neglect it the penalties for non-compliance are serious enough to induce one to think twice before de- fying the order, CELEBRATE SILVER WEDDING, IYIr, and Mrs, G. E. Saville, es- teemed residents 01 Clinton, on Fri- day last, Victoria Day, celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage. A number of friends and relatives were. invited and a very happy day was spent together. Twen- ty-five years ago when Mr. and Mrs. Saville plighted their troth Victoria the Good was on the throne and the Twenty-fourth of May was consider- ed onsider ed the most important holiday, ex- cept Christmas, in the calendar year. They thus did honour to the day in choosing it fox their wedding. Amongst t theu guests the titer gg o day were people from Brussels, l3elgrave and Londesboro. Mr, and Mrs. Wm. Webster who were present from om t he latter place also celebrated their wedding anniversary,. though their married years only number about half those of the host and hostess. Friends will extend congratulations to kr. and Mrs. Saville and hope they may yet celebrate their Golden Wedding. DEATH OF DIILLIE K. IIOLDIES.

Holmes, one of the most` eminent and best known members of the teaching stat! of the St. Cath- arines Public schools, passed away at the home of her mother, Mrs. E. Holmes, 6 Thomas street, at mid- night, Miss Holmes, who was the daugh- ter of the late Edmund Holmes, and was born in Clinton, Huron county, Ontario, had been on the teaching stall of the St. Catharines public schools for twenty-two years, and during that time had demonstrated high instructive qualifications and a regard for detail for which she was highly valued by the local education- al officials. For a time .she was principal of the Alexandra school and continued to teach an advanced class with eminent success. The deceased was a devoted mete- or of the Welland Avenue Metbod,et Much and a most conscientious Sunday school worker, having charge of a class for a -number of years. She took a deep personal interest in all of the scholars under her direc- tion as Public school teacher and continues} her chosen profession until ailing health eventually necessitated f ter cessation of duty and compelled ter to take to her bed just prior to ast Christmas. In addition to a comprehensive grasp of the school curriculum she continuously kept before her. pupils e a high standard of ideals, believing , t the duty of teachers to impart nore than is applied in the diesetni- ation of the facts laid down in text t becks. As a result her efforts have 1 tamped a highly desirable influence e ar good on the rising generation—a p non.ument that should continuo fu 1 tie lifetime of those who were Pol- g unate enough to have come under er tutelage. v Besides a widowed mother, she is r ttrvived by five sisters and three r 'others : Misses Annie and Rester h i. home ; Mrs. C. ,1, Warr, this city; frs.

Watt,- son of Mrs. Mar- garet Watt of town, was killed on Sunday evening at the farm of Mr. John Beattie of McKillop township, near Harlon., Mr. Watt, elm was employed by Mr. Beattie., had been doing the chores about the barn and it is supposed that he had taken the bull to water and was tying the animal up again when by some means he was knocked down and trampled to death in the stall, • When he did not come in to tea a young son of the family was sent to the barn t call n 1 a hue and thus the discovery was made. Lite was ex- tinct when the body was recovered. The animal did not seem enraged at all 1 and i - rt s thought that while vhlle the unfortunate man was put- ting an extra chain about his neck the animal may have thrown up his head striking him in tate face and thus stunning hint so that he fell and was unable to rise, - Dr. Scott, coroner, Seaforth, was notified but did not consider au in- quest necessary. The deceased was the only son of Mrs. Watt of Clinton, d10 kis also Survived by two sisters, Misses An- nie and Bessie. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon from the home of Mr. Beattie, interment being made in Burns' Church cemetery, Mullett, The services at the house and graveside were conducted by the Rev, James Abrey, who was the young man's pastor, The mother. and sisters have the sympathy of their friends in their terrible be- reavement. REV. D'1 I3 R, OGG S LECTURE. The lecture given by Rev, J, E. Hogg in the series of entertainments under the auspices of the Girls' Club in Willis church on Thursday even- ing was not so well attended as sorne of the other entertainments, A lecturer in Seafortb recently, who had not as large an audience as she would have liked, remarked that "people were afraid to attend a lec- ture; they were so afraid they might learn something." However, the at- tendance was fairly good, Willis church when it is filled holds a Int of people, and those who were pres- ent were amply repaid. They really did "learn something" from the Weil - thought -out and pleasingly delivered lecture by Mr, Hogg, The lecturer's subject was "The Dynamic of Vision," He said that n all ages, but more particularly in this practical age, men who were thought to be dreamers were usually considered to be of little use to the world. It was men, of action who were needed. But the lecturer. wish• d to show that without "dreams," 'visions," "castles -in -the -air" IM progress was really made, The men no have best served their genera. ion have been men of vision; who lave built castles -in -tile -air, pull - them down to the earth and laeed them upon solid foundations. Ie then went on to show that no mat purpose bad ever been achieved hvitbout someohe. first having hail a inion which served to "keep him ight to his job" until the end was cached. "The Getman Kaiser and is Syne lords said the .lectur(r, 'had a vision el world domination nd that vision served to keep them repaving for twenty -Ove years and s malting dram use (Very effort to arty, out their purpose," Ile also Red many other cases to illustrate is point that for the accomplish - int o 1 n , pent of any object vision was the ynainie urging men on to action.

The W,C.T,17„ who recently made a collection of trinkets for the pur- pose of raising money to supply com- forts for the soldiers at the front, would like anyone who has any plated ware or brass which they would. be willing to donate for the same purpose to - leave same at W. (3. 1-lellyar's jewelery store on or before Saturday of tliis week., Any- thing so donated will be sold and the proceeds will be used to provide re£resbing drinks for the soldiers as they come from the trenches, BETTER AUNT .GROUNDHOGS. Mr, .John Walton, who takes a great pride in rearing carrier pigeons, had three of them shot on Wednes- day last, Young pigeons left in the nests and too young to look after themselves died in consequence, so the loss was a double one. Mr, Wm. Irving also lost some pigeons about the same time. As these are val- uable birds and are valued by their owners the persons caught interfer- ing with them may find themselves up against a peck of trouble, One had just as well go into the private premises of a citizen and shoot his prize chickens, A SAD FATALITY, A sad accident occurred on Sunday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. .J. Glazier of the Huron Road, East, when their little adopted daughter, Jessie Mae, aged three years, was drowned. The little one, who was as a bright and winsome child, had gone to the barn with Mr. Glazier, who later sent her to the Sousa• \� i tl)n pail. l. She n took it to her mother and while she was washing it the child ran out and on going to look for her in a few minutes the mother discovered that she had fallen into the cistern. The child had found a loose board in the cover and having a little cup it is supposed site had been leaning Over trying to dip water and lost her_ balance. Mr, and Mrs. Glazier are heartbroken over the occurrence. They couldn't feel worse if she had been their own. ,She was the child of Mr. :Glazier's brother, Mr. J. D. Glazier of London, whose wife, ,Jes- sie Pearson, died when her babe was rive clays old. Mr, and Mrs, A, .1. Glazier then took the little one and cared for her as their own. They and the father have the sympathy of all in their sudden sorrow. The funeral took place yesterday alter - 1100n. MARRIED IN STRATFORD.
