GOT THE'COMBINA'TION,
Sonne person or personsas yet un-
known broke into Mr. A, Forbes' coal
°Mee on Thursday night last and in
going through' the till they found a
ticket which gave away the combin-
ation of the safe. To get into the
Money was
I y b x o thenan easy matter
and to carry away the between forty
and fifty dollars it contained easier
still. • When• Mr. Forbes found the
till unlocked in the morning he won-
dered and when he saw the tell-tale
ticket laying on the sate his wonder
grew but it prepared' him somewhat
for his loss.
Mr, Forbes bought the safe but " a
new days ago and not having the com-
bination properly fastened in memory
explains why the ticket was laying
about so handy.
TIIE UNIFORMS ,HERE,
A sensation was sprung in local

ularly known as the Black Watch, a
regiment
,that has made itself' famous
and dear to the heart of every true
Britisher by deeds of gallantry that
have Waitron the whole_ civilized world.
It may be thought by some that
this, record will he hard to live up
to by the local boys., but there is
no spot in the Empire today where
a more loyal bunch of young nten is
gathered together than the boys who
compose the Ci1inton Kitties.
The band has gone to great expense
to put Clinton on the music map.
Early in the season they secured the
services of .Mr, Frederick Foubister
now well known, whose band and
musical ability is recognized in On-
tario, to direct the band and he has
by Local cooperation brought it
to a high state of ,eliciency
These effortsarc meeting' with tlic
hearty support of the citizens who
have formed a Musical Society to
finance and back the boys. It Is the
purpose of the Society to furnish
concerts for tate public and the first of
the aeries will be held on April
23rd. Soros high class talent will
kg secured which will be announced
later.
