Nemens ' writing from Winnipegu det date of May said Tltere,,awas a fall' of two in- ches of snow today but the, farmers say it is all right as the ground is very dry and needed the moisture. The seeding is now all finished. Many farmers Have put in only enough oats -for their own use and all the rest of the land in wheat, expecting big prices neat fall. Generally speaking, business here is very slow." MONDAY'S CONCERT, . - Clinton is loyal to a man, or a woman, or a child for that matter, and eo sort of an entertainment calls out the. crowd which a patriotic en- tertainment does. This fact was de- monstrated on Monday evening when the town hall was filled to capacity and the Owen Memorial hall, which had been secured in cane there should be an overflow was al- so crowded, to hear the Con- cert given by London ' and St. Thomas artists. Of course, the tick- ets were only a quarter and the con- cert was at least a fifty -cent one. Clinton also knows a good thing when it comes in sight, The conceit was given ender the auspices of that energetic and com- petent body of women, the Clinton Patriotic Society, which has by sheer persistence and a determined "stick- ing to it" accomplished so much during, the past six or seven months in the way of patriotic work of dif- ferent sorts. This latest effort was Made in or- der to raise funds for the ,Queen Mary Hospital ate Shornclilfe, England,. which, at the present' time • is ' filled with:. wounded Canadian soldiers. The •perforiners offered their services for this concert absolutely without charge, even to the paying of their expenses from London and St. Thom- as, the arrangements being made through one of the officers of the 33rd Batt., Captain Dowding, who has always shown a public spirit, the entertainment being given under the patronage of the officers of the, 33rd. And it was a good concert. The consensus of opinion seemed to be that. Clinton seldom, if eecr, heard a better. Major Rance occupied the position. of chairman, or master of ceremonies, and did it very gracefully, thaugh protesting that it was not much in his line. He explained briefly the ob- ject of the work which the W. P. S. was endeavoring to assist, congrat- ulated 1910111 upon the splendid turn- out and assured the audience that an enjoyable evening was before them. He also spoke in the most glowing terms of the 33rd Battalion, of which he had the honour t0 form a part, and which lie said would be one of the very best battalions going to the front: .Ile said it was an honour to Huron that three of its officers, were from the Clounty, two being ,from Clin- ton, and that the county had contribu- ted about one hundred sten to the 'battalion, all picked nice, splendid fellows, cf whom the county might be proud. - The concert was opened by a pretty piano solo very cleverly executed by Miss Clete Ford, who had at once to respondond to an encore. CKillo wart whom th Mrs. 14I p, vi h eud- aud- ience fell in love at once and became more charmed each time she appear- ed, sang several solos and also sang a duet with Mr. eGutche M n. o Mr. N1eCutoheon s fine voice com- pletely won the audience. It was heard_to best advanta;e, perhaps, in "The Death' of Nelson" .and "Scots Via' ITae." He was enthusiastically encored ea0l- time he appeared. Miss .Florone Eccelston's beautiful rendering of several violin selections was much appreciated, Indeed, the 'ex- quisite pleasure given the lovers of that sweetest of stringed instrumento will, not soon be forgotten by neer, Mise May Walker, elocutionist, is also an artist. Her rendering of , Phe Debating ,society" was •One,. quite as good in its waY� as that of the classic one "TheWooing of Ber tchcen andhet encore, The Little Cooky Mac," "brought down the house," Cant. C, Er Dowding also sang a Couple of solos, which were much ap- preeiated. Clinton is always pleased to hear Capt. Dowding sing. , Mrs. Mcl•Iardy-Smith actedas ac• companiste during the evening and much of the success of the entertain- ment was due to her sympathetic fin- gering of the keys. Prof. Bristowe assisted at the piano at the Memorial hall, his ser- vices being much appreciated, also. • Chaplain Peacock of the 33rd was. also- present and spoke a few words, paying a compliment to the officers and men going from here, and urging upon the young men to come and join the ranks, to 1111up the vacancies left nd ng se i + r iof t by the of a po t onthe men forward to the battle line. He said 'that his three brothers wer(tt all in the service of the King,'twu''+of them being already wounded, while his only sister was , nursing the wounded in France, Allrho performers were et gen- erous, though having to go from one hall to the other between numbers, actually giving two concerts instead of one, they responded to the hearty applause with the greatest good nat- ure. Before the performance was half 'over .,one one tond r-heatied little lady was heard to remark, .Dear me, those poor people will be tired to deatb..' And no•,doubt', „they ,wore, but there is not a doubt, either,- about the splendid success of the con- Commandment. Some high-class cert. All who had anything to do in forms of modern theft will be- dis- regard to it are ,to be congratulated. 'cussed, THE CLINTON`MARKET. Wheat 81.45, Oats 55c. Barley 050.

If there are at this clate any Doubting Thomases left they should go out and iso for themselves. • TWO PAPERS- AMALGAMATE. The Publishers of the two papers in Markham, have felt for sometime that running two weeklies in a town of that size was not good businese, eith- er in their interest ,gr that of their patrons. An arrangement has, there- fore, been made by which The Sun and The Economist will be merged and run as one paper. It will be known as the Markham Economist and Sun and will be conducted as a !`newspaper" only and entirely la - dependent in polities. WESLEY CHURCH. After an absence of three months, almost two of which were spent in the Johns Hopkins hospital, Balti- more, Rev. Dr. Rutledge was present at and conducted the, services on Sun- day, Rev. Dr. McAllister of Exeter, preaching both sermons. At the close of the preaching .service in the morn- ing the Sacrament was administered, the pastor, being assisted by Rev. J. Greene and Dr. McAllister, Sunday was observed as "Mb -flier's Day," the church being very prettily decorated with white and other flow- ers and a motto bearing the word "Mother" being hung behind the pul- pit. Mann wore a flower in honour of the dap and at the Sunday school session there was a .special program for the oceasione At tlhe morning ser- vice Mr. Clifford Andrews tendered the solo, "Mother's Story" in good voice, MORE THAN WAS ASKED. Mrs. Allis, the energetic president of the Women's Patriotic Society, was oonsidercd rather sanguine, to say the least, when site . asked for 5500 for the Sharncli0'e; Hospital, Her faith in the generosity of the, public, however, was amply justified by the splendid response to the ap- peal. This fine result could not, of course, have, been reached but for the generous donations from the Clinton Club, the Masonic Lodge, the town council and a few public-spirited o1- 1711115, who arose sublimely to the occasion. These, with the proceeds of the concert and the many small sub- scriptions, which bore out the old adage to the effect that "Mony lit - ties mak' a sickle," brought the sum up to the grand total, a gift which Clinton need not to he asham- ed to offer. The ladies are to be congratulated upon the 811CC1SS of their campaign. As all the returns are not yet in a full report cannot be given this week. WILLIS CHURCH. , Splendid congregations, hearty sing- ing, devout worship„ generous us offer- ings and fervent gospel sermons from the courtly Moderator of the General Assembly, Rev, Dr. 8-Ierridge, made tihe 58th anniversary of Willis church last Sunday a decidedly notable one. in the history of the congregation. Never was a better spirit shown by all, and several old members of the church found it a glad day of reunion in the old kirk, The large choir won much apprecia- tion •Cor their leading of the Rervice of praise, and sang their two an- thems in good time and good voice, Gounod s 0 Send Out Thy bight' was sung particularly well, Mrs, G. Elliott sang g • a sato - the, shale a and quartette; Messrs Roberton, Alexan- der, McKenzie and Mitchell, pontrt- bitted "Remember Me, 0 Mighty Once." The pulpit was prettily decor- eted with ferns and tulips. • Dr, Hcrridgc, though n Iffering evi- dently from a•sevete cold, preached two, 5e000115 that manifested ripe scholarship and were deeply impres- sive in their spiritual power. In the horning "'Phe Aggressiveness of Christ" was a strong appeal to the members of the Church to "Keep Pace. With Christ" in the Master's. great Forward moveme=nt in our days.. In the evening "The Man With an Uu- cican Spirit" was the subject . of at more popular nature that showed the versatility e reacher and ap- pealed utility of the p a p pealed to the ]hearts of the hearers for purity, Thecongre atin was out hagain,and"maniny full strength the g visitors from other churches showed how Clinton delights to Baboon a distinguished' visitor and pulpit eta - tor. , Over $525 was spontaneously ,given in the offerings of the day, which was announced b Y Rev.
