MILLER. Miss Margaret Miller, sister of Mrs. Jam es ah ifY of Clinton, pas- sed s - sed away at the home of her broth- er, Mr. John Miller of Staffa, on Thursday last after a comparatively short illness. The late Miss Miller was born and reared in Hibbert township and spent practically 'all her life there. She was one of a large family, three hav- ing predeceased her and four brothers and four sisters remaining. All, with the exception of a brother and a sister who reside in the west, were present when the end came and all the nephews and nieces except those in the west and one other attended the funeral which took place to Crom- arty cemetery on Saturday. Miss Miller often visited her sister in town and spent several weeks here early this summer. She will therefore be remembered by many Clinton people. DECORATION DAY. The Oddfellows of town held their (annual decoration day on Sunday. last. Foregathering at 'their lodge rooms at two -thirty they marched, headed by the Kiley 'band, to the cemetery where the grave of each de. parted Oddfellow was decorated with flowers. When all the graves of the brethren had been visited the mem- bers reverently laid a tribute upon the grave of the late Rev. J. Greene who though not a member of the Order, had on various occasions ac- companied the Oddfellows and taken part in similar services and who had the respect of each and every mem- ber of the lodge. Rev, Dr. Rutledge and Rev. J. A, Robinson were pre- sent, taking part in the pretty and touching ceremonies, and .a number of visiting brethren from surrounding lodges were also present. A number of the citizens motored, drove •or walked out to witness the ceremon ies. D. McCORVIE CROSSES OV19Ti:, Donald McCorvie, one of Clintoa's best kn v n and most highly h]Y esteem- ed citizens, passed away on Saturday afternoon after an illness of but ten days. The -late Mr. McCorvie was born in Ding township, York County, seven- ty-five years ago, his parents being natives of Argyleshire, Scotland. Lat- er the family came to Huron county, settling in ,Colborne• township, but It is nearly fifty years since the sub- ject of this • sketch came to reside in Clinton and this town continued to be his home until the end. He was for a' great many years connected with McTaggart di Company, manu- facturers, and travelled all through Huron county and the surrounding counties in the interests of their pro- ducts. Since that industry ceased his energies had been devoted to the Can- ada Life Insurance Co.' He was eel- dom..ill, was a keen business man and there was no better known figure on Clinton streets than D. McCorvie. Mr. McCorvie is survived by his wife, who was the only daughter of the late William Harland, •a neice, McCorvie, .� vho' has al- Miss Annie t ys made her home with them, and a little nice, Alma, who for the past couple of years has been a mem- ber of the family. , One sister, Mrs. Fisher of Philadelphia, also survives. Mr. McCorvie was • a Presbyterian in religion, being a member of Willis church and a trustee, and in politics a Liberal. He was a genial, kindly, obliging man. One who would not only do you a good turn if it came in his way but one who would go considerably out of his way to oblige a friend. ''He will be missed for, his plane will be empty" not only in the home circle and among personal fri- ends but in the larger circle of the life of the town. t The funeral took place on Monday afternoon to Clinton cemetery, the services at house and graveside be- ing conducted. by Rev, Frank C. Har- per, assisted by Rev. Dr. Rutledge. The pallbearers were W. Brydone, C. B. Middleton, J. E. Hovey, John , Mcra art and W. Torrance, G. D g g D. Fair. Among the relatives present from a distance for the 'funeral were . Mr. Geo. H. Harland of Detroit, W. J. THE LOCAL MARKIIYr. Wheat He. Barley ISc.' Oats 50e. Eggs 25e.

The excursion divided , at Stratford, one ,section running to Sarnia, and a number probably for the sake of variety took that trip instead of visiting the old towns of Huron as has been their -annual hab- it for several years. .Theweather was ideal for such an outing, being dry and not too hot, A special train took the visitors back to the city VERY FAVORABLE IMP C e5f V The Enterprise of Wyoming had the folloteing in its last issue : "Rev. S. J. Allan and family de- rived from Clinton last Thursday ev- ening' and the former preached his ,in- troductory discourse to. the Method- ist congregation last Sunday morn- ing when he made a very favorable impression on the minds of his hear ers. He is possessed with a well modulated voice accompanied by. an earnest impressive manner which commands the attention and attracts the interest of his hearers without undue vocal exertion and his sub- jects are instructive and interesting affording ample food for after thought and reflection." FOUR OLD TIMERS, Among the old Huronians now liv- ing in Toronto is Mr. Thos. Brown of, Grenville St. He was one of those who took in the II.O,B. excursion on Saturday, and laughingly made the boast that he was the oldest living native of Goderich township. Ile is hale, hearty and active, and looks as if lie might live for twenty years yet. But his boast is disputed uteri b at least three others born in the same township, Mr. William C n teon opts of tide most respected citizens of Clinton, and Mr. Thos. Jenkins of the Huron Road have each over 78 years to their credit ; Dr. Holmes of Goderich, county treasurer, has about t the same, while Mr. Brown's limit is a little more that 76. Err, Brown's father owned 100 acres in that terri- tory now bounded by .Albert and Huron streets, Clinton, commencing at, the point where the Royal Bank now stands. These men are old tim- ers atanyrate,and no one. would be es o sorry to' see them reach the century mark. DT:ATH OF MRS. WM. C. BROWN. After en illness extending over sev- eral weeks Mrs. William C, Brown passed to her long home on Sunday evening last. She was born in the County of Turk sixty years ago, her maiden name being Elizabeth Jane France, I.n 11891 she was united in marriage to her now bereaved husband and one year later they came lb Clinton to reside and have thus been citizens for a score and four years. Mrs. Brown was a member of Wil- lisu•eand ch t. h a kindly Christian wo- mail who loved to do good onto oth- ers.. She is survived by her husband, her mother and her sister, Miss Mary France, who was with her at the time of her death, both of whom live in Detroit, two other sisters, Mrs. Genime of Detroit and Mrs. France of Sault Ste, Marie, Mich, Two' hi o- thers also reside in the United States. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, the services at house and graveside being conducted by lieu. Flank C. Harper. The pallheatnrs *ere : John Derry, Minoan McEwan, James Appleby, Geo.

Chid - ley, resigned the Model school, board has engaged the services of Miss u Belle Draper, daughter of Mr. R. J. Draper, and a graduate of the. C.C.I. Miss Draper has the reputa- tion of beinga very capable and sue- cessLul teacher. f,ITTLE LOCALS. Miss McEwen• has been engaged by the Model School Board for the. Model term at a salary of $250. Miss Dorothy Rorke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Rorke, a pupil of Miss Marion Irwin,' has just bean successful in passing her primary pianoforte grade 2 examination, tak- ing first class honors. THEY WERE APPRECIATED. Prior to their leaving for their new field of work at Tiverton the congregation of the Northwood Methodist church surprised Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hawke one evening and made them the recipients of an ad- dress and a, purse. After a pleasing program of music and song had been rendered and the presentation. had been made the ladies of the company dainty refreshments. . s Mr. and served Mrs. Hawke have been most popular during their four years' residence at Northwood and their departure was -keenly regretted. JAMES' SMITH PASSES. It was with much surprise that it became known on Monday mo.uing that' Mr, James Smith, an old and well-known resident of Clinton, had passed away ratherr suddenly in Tor- ontolate on Sunday evening. Mr. Smith load gone to the city the pre- vious-' ween to undergo surgi;al treatment. Itis' condition ' was such, however,, that his physician deemed tr i it unwise to performan of a at )n and his heart giving out he sank rapidly until the end came. The late Mr. Smith had been for fifty years a resident of Clinton, coming here from • Goderich. For many )(pare lie conducted a clothing establishment but for a good many he Lias lived retired from bus- iness. Though not engaged in the trade of the town he kept in touch with the business portion and few who spent any time in Clinton failed to become familiar with his neat and clapper figure as he walked daily up and down the streets In politics Mr. Smith was a I Liberal and he held his convictions strongly. He Inas a Methodist in religion, being a member of Ontario street church, He at time ibis wife, who survived b asY b . � ill and one of writing is cite , q daughter, Mrs. Small, , who resided with her parents.

It is only in recent years that the became au Orangeman, but his travels in the west convinced him that there was never greater need for the Order than at the present -time. One of the oldest Orangemen in`the line was William Cuttie, Sr., of No. I80, often called C'urrie's Lodge; Though the march was of consider- able length he finished strong. 'Another well known member in the procession was Mr, John C"ox of No. 145. It is not on record that this pioneer has missed a walk since when scarcely the initiatory age lie was admitted into the mysteries of the order: . The Varna Lodge made a good showing and in the line-up were sev- eral of the most active a Oraumenn en 0 South t ' 'o th Tiu ren. A thoughtful feature was,tbe place ing of two small taps upon each of the main street hydrants and at- taching tin cups thereto. This en- abled people to speedily slack their thirst with the very purest of water and they no doubt heartily appreci- ated it. The green plot next MtTaggarts' e and furnished ]t t was se d bank see ted for ones. The rest and shade ear o weary council chamber was also! thrown op- en as a rest room for. the women. It will thus be seen .that 'Clinton en- deavored to stake her visitors cow- fortable and her efforts appeared to greatly please them. The railway is not now the whole thing in crowd gathering, automo- biles figuring largely, There must have been over three hundred of them in town yesterday. There were five competitors in the band competition : Summerhill No. 928, Riverside No. 11'5, Tipperary No, 189, Purple Star No, 313, a flute hand from Stratford, the fifth entry being a piccolo hapd from the same city, The Purple Star won first and The Tips second. The latter are a new aggregation, this being their first season, They presented a nat- ty appearance in their White un- iforms and caught the crowd on the march and in the evening when they paraded the streets. Four of The Tips are sons of Me. Robert Hanley and two sons of Mr. G. B. Hanley, Rands and Pethick of Scaforth wont first as fifer and 'drummer,respective ely. The judge in these competition. was Mr. T. II, Close of Sealorth. For best helmet the first prim went to Lucknow and the second to Belgrave, Wingham l won as t 1 illg the best dressed t lodge. Mr. A.

Stewart, ex. -County Mas- ters, North Huron. (Continued on page 5.) Near to Clinton Yesterday. Tire Orange demonstration yester- day was a success, that is it was at- tended by perfect weather, it brought t- -U„ five thousand out ofn.n ton's into town and everything passed oft smoothly from the arrival of the first speleial train 'in the morning un- til -the last beat of the drum at night. • As the slie tail thrived they were met by the Iiilty band and by the mounted marshals, D. N. Watson and Wm, Falconer, who escorted them to their respective billets. This took up pretty. much the whole forenoon. At 1.30 'the procession was formed in the park and after parading down William street it returned via I{ing and Albert streets to the park where 1 r I e e ' lbr the speaking took place. Mr. W. E. Southgate of Seaforth acted as chairman. I -Ie .,began by saying that as there were a number of speakers he would not occupy tithe other than to express itis sincere ap- preciation of the splendid enthusiasm shown by , the turnout on this occa- sion. He then called upon Mayor r Thompson who in a few graceful ceful phrases bade the Orangemen and their friends welcome and offered them the freedom of the town. Mr. Hazzard, K,C., Toronto, was then called upon, who, after speaking in the highest terms of the hospital- ity of the town, which he had visit- ed for the first, time, referred in stirring terms tthe objects of the Orange Order. "It was at the be- ginning a warfare for freedom egei.tet tyranny and so long as freedom is as- sailed, there will be use for the Or- ange Order. It is contended by some that such a demonstrationtends to stir •up strife amen citizens. Such is not the ease, however. Orangeism stands for liberty and a lore of jus- tice and equality. In conclusion Mr. Hazzard said that be would carry with hum from Clinton very pleas- ant memories of his first visit here. Mr. Musgrove, AI,P.P.: It is not often that North and South Huron Orangemee celebrate together but the result today proves the wisdom of such a ration. There are at the front among the Canadians or in training at home at present over 45,000 Orangemen. This is as it should he as the very foundation of the Order is loyalty to the state. The State must be supreme and no Church or body must dictate its policy. The Government of this Province will make no concessions to any religious body no matter what the pressure and English must con- tinue to be the language of the pro- vince, taught in every school in the province, Rev. Mr, Lowe of Lucan : We owe nothing' to our Roman Catholic bre- thren but good will. Orangemen will defend as vaiiantlty the liberty of the Roman Catholic as that of the Protestant. What was the cause of the war ? Was it not that the libertiy of Belgium, a Roman Catholic country, Was assailed and Britain pledged her word that she should be protected ? Tints English and Canadians are dying on the fields of France for the liberties of these brethren across the sea. Our children should be carefully instruct- ed in the meaning and the 'signific- ance of the Orange Order. Rev, C. C. Laine : I (lc not feel that I need apologize lot my pres- ence on this platform. Nor. do I need to apologize for my connection with the Orange Order, which is founded upon the .principles of liberty and justice. Our fathers died for the cause of liberty in the past and our brothers and sons, are dying for liberty now in France and' Belgium. It has been most encouraging to note the marshalling of the forces into Clinton Orange Lodge during the past winter. Rev. W. B. Moulton : 'i feel it an honor acid a privilege to stand upon this platform and to speak to the assembled brethren of this Order, It has been a glorious demonstration In every respect and the brethren' •are to he congratulated upon its success.

He is possessed with a well modulated voice accompanied by. an earnest impressive manner which commands the attention and attracts the interest of his hearers without undue vocal exertion and his sub- jects are instructive and interesting affording ample food for after thought and reflection." FOUR OLD TIMERS, Among the old Huronians now liv- ing in Toronto is Mr. Thos. Brown of, Grenville St. He was one of those who took in the II.O,B. excursion on Saturday, and laughingly made the boast that he was the oldest living native of Goderich township. Ile is hale, hearty and active, and looks as if lie might live for twenty years yet. But his boast is disputed uteri b at least three others born in the same township, Mr. William C n teon opts of tide most respected citizens of Clinton, and Mr. Thos. Jenkins of the Huron Road have each over 78 years to their credit ; Dr. Holmes of Goderich, county treasurer, has about t the same, while Mr. Brown's limit is a little more that 76. Err, Brown's father owned 100 acres in that terri- tory now bounded by .Albert and Huron streets, Clinton, commencing at, the point where the Royal Bank now stands. These men are old tim- ers atanyrate,and no one. would be es o sorry to' see them reach the century mark. DT:ATH OF MRS. WM. C. BROWN.

JAMES' SMITH PASSES. It was with much surprise that it became known on Monday mo.uing that' Mr, James Smith, an old and well-known resident of Clinton, had passed away ratherr suddenly in Tor- ontolate on Sunday evening. Mr. Smith load gone to the city the pre- vious-' ween to undergo surgi;al treatment. Itis' condition ' was such, however,, that his physician deemed tr i it unwise to performan of a at )n and his heart giving out he sank rapidly until the end came. The late Mr. Smith had been for fifty years a resident of Clinton, coming here from • Goderich. For many )(pare lie conducted a clothing establishment but for a good many he Lias lived retired from bus- iness. Though not engaged in the trade of the town he kept in touch with the business portion and few who spent any time in Clinton failed to become familiar with his neat and clapper figure as he walked daily up and down the streets In politics Mr. Smith was a I Liberal and he held his convictions strongly. He Inas a Methodist in religion, being a member of Ontario street church, He at time ibis wife, who survived b asY b . � ill and one of writing is cite , q daughter, Mrs. Small, , who resided with her parents. The remains were brought to 'Clinton Monday evening I3arland, Guelph, and Mrs. George l and the funeral took place yesterday Page, Belgrave. e afternoon to Clinton cemetery, The Orange Demonstration I in tete distric . Brought People From Far and lVlr. . 14'. Scott was in the north g P with the ilelgrave brethren. It is only in recent years that the became au Orangeman, but his travels in the west convinced him that there was never greater need for the Order than at the present -time. One of the oldest Orangemen in`the line was William Cuttie, Sr., of No. I80, often called C'urrie's Lodge; Though the march was of consider- able length he finished strong. 'Another well known member in the procession was Mr, John C"ox of No. 145. It is not on record that this pioneer has missed a walk since when scarcely the initiatory age lie was admitted into the mysteries of the order: . The Varna Lodge made a good showing and in the line-up were sev- eral of the most active a Oraumenn en 0 South t ' 'o th Tiu ren. A thoughtful feature was,tbe place ing of two small taps upon each of the main street hydrants and at- taching tin cups thereto. This en- abled people to speedily slack their thirst with the very purest of water and they no doubt heartily appreci- ated it. The green plot next MtTaggarts' e and furnished ]t t was se d bank see ted for ones. The rest and shade ear o weary council chamber was also! thrown op- en as a rest room for. the women. It will thus be seen .that 'Clinton en- deavored to stake her visitors cow- fortable and her efforts appeared to greatly please them. The railway is not now the whole thing in crowd gathering, automo- biles figuring largely, There must have been over three hundred of them in town yesterday. There were five competitors in the band competition : Summerhill No. 928, Riverside No. 11'5, Tipperary No, 189, Purple Star No, 313, a flute hand from Stratford, the fifth entry being a piccolo hapd from the same city, The Purple Star won first and The Tips second. The latter are a new aggregation, this being their first season, They presented a nat- ty appearance in their White un- iforms and caught the crowd on the march and in the evening when they paraded the streets. Four of The Tips are sons of Me. Robert Hanley and two sons of Mr. G. B. Hanley, Rands and Pethick of Scaforth wont first as fifer and 'drummer,respective ely. The judge in these competition. was Mr. T. II, Close of Sealorth. For best helmet the first prim went to Lucknow and the second to Belgrave, Wingham l won as t 1 illg the best dressed t lodge. Mr. A. EI. Musgrove, MLA., was with the brethren in the march. Greenway lodge Caine the longest disce. Thetanjudges were : Walter Hodgetts, C. M., South Iluron ; John Scarlett and Thos. Stewart, ex. -County Mas- ters, North Huron. (Continued on page 5.) Near to Clinton Yesterday. Tire Orange demonstration yester- day was a success, that is it was at- tended by perfect weather, it brought t- -U„ five thousand out ofn.n ton's into town and everything passed oft smoothly from the arrival of the first speleial train 'in the morning un- til -the last beat of the drum at night. • As the slie tail thrived they were met by the Iiilty band and by the mounted marshals, D. N. Watson and Wm, Falconer, who escorted them to their respective billets. This took up pretty. much the whole forenoon. At 1.30 'the procession was formed in the park and after parading down William street it returned via I{ing and Albert streets to the park where 1 r I e e ' lbr the speaking took place. Mr. W. E. Southgate of Seaforth acted as chairman. I -Ie .,began by saying that as there were a number of speakers he would not occupy tithe other than to express itis sincere ap- preciation of the splendid enthusiasm shown by , the turnout on this occa- sion. He then called upon Mayor r Thompson who in a few graceful ceful phrases bade the Orangemen and their friends welcome and offered them the freedom of the town. Mr. Hazzard, K,C., Toronto, was then called upon, who, after speaking in the highest terms of the hospital- ity of the town, which he had visit- ed for the first, time, referred in stirring terms tthe objects of the Orange Order. "It was at the be- ginning a warfare for freedom egei.tet tyranny and so long as freedom is as- sailed, there will be use for the Or- ange Order. It is contended by some that such a demonstrationtends to stir •up strife amen citizens. Such is not the ease, however. Orangeism stands for liberty and a lore of jus- tice and equality. In conclusion Mr. Hazzard said that be would carry with hum from Clinton very pleas- ant memories of his first visit here. Mr. Musgrove, AI,P.P.: It is not often that North and South Huron Orangemee celebrate together but the result today proves the wisdom of such a ration. There are at the front among the Canadians or in training at home at present over 45,000 Orangemen. This is as it should he as the very foundation of the Order is loyalty to the state. The State must be supreme and no Church or body must dictate its policy. The Government of this Province will make no concessions to any religious body no matter what the pressure and English must con- tinue to be the language of the pro- vince, taught in every school in the province, Rev. Mr, Lowe of Lucan : We owe nothing' to our Roman Catholic bre- thren but good will. Orangemen will defend as vaiiantlty the liberty of the Roman Catholic as that of the Protestant. What was the cause of the war ? Was it not that the libertiy of Belgium, a Roman Catholic country, Was assailed and Britain pledged her word that she should be protected ? Tints English and Canadians are dying on the fields of France for the liberties of these brethren across the sea. Our children should be carefully instruct- ed in the meaning and the 'signific- ance of the Orange Order. Rev, C. C. Laine : I (lc not feel that I need apologize lot my pres- ence on this platform. Nor. do I need to apologize for my connection with the Orange Order, which is founded upon the .principles of liberty and justice. Our fathers died for the cause of liberty in the past and our brothers and sons, are dying for liberty now in France and' Belgium. It has been most encouraging to note the marshalling of the forces into Clinton Orange Lodge during the past winter. Rev. W. B. Moulton : 'i feel it an honor acid a privilege to stand upon this platform and to speak to the assembled brethren of this Order, It has been a glorious demonstration In every respect and the brethren' •are to he congratulated upon its success.
