AN EVIDENCE OF ESTESM, The following from the Mooretown correspondent of the: Sarnia Observer refers to a graduate of the C.O.T. dau- ghter of Mr. and Mrs. George Barge formerly of Clinton: On Thursday afternoon, June 21, a large number of the school section gathered at• the Village school and presented ed th it teacher, t Miss Violet M. Barge, with an address and as a memorial, a gold necklet' set with irilliants/ and a fancy (lock. The ad- dress reads : Dear Miss Barge a We your friends and pupils, having heard of your de- parture from our midst, take this opportunity of bidding ytou farewell. The pleasant duty has been assigned me by my schoolmates of prdsenting you with thisi little tokcm as an evi- dence of esteem and love, We could not consent to part with youwithout giving you some memorial, 'however trifling, for your unceasing efforts to benefit us. Please ac:ept with our present our earnest good wishes.

The Highlanders' Band went up to Bluevale on Tuesday evening to play at a garden party ,given by the Meth- odist church •there, It was a Most successful affair and tete band receiv- ed many compliments .on the brand of music they furnished, the pastor of the church remarking during the course of tem evening that he had board a good many bands in his time but never heard better music, outside of a big city band, The Kit- ties certainly? look line and they also "deliver the•goocls” in the way of fine music„_ They are receiving so many invitations to ,play at outside points that they find it dhliicult,; to gat all their engagements in, LONC4 LIVE PLIJMSTEELS.

Rev. Frank C. harper, pastor of Chalmers church, London, has accept- ed the call of the Willis congregation and will become their pastor, his induction will take place on Septem- ber 3rd, though ho will probably lie in charge of the work a little in ad- vance of that. The, call from Willis church was very largely signal and was presented to the London .Pr.sby- tery at a meeting in Port Stanley on ,Tuesday by Rev, J. G. Reid, Loudes- boro, interim moderator, and Messrs. Jas. Scott, W. T. O'Neil and H Al- exander, In view of the largely sign- ed call and the reasons put forward by the delegation the Presbytery were induced to look upon the transfer fa- verahlll although Chalmers church put in a strong plea to retain their pastor. Rev. Mr. Harper is young, energetic, enthusiastic and a good preacher and it is thought will make a most successful pastor for Willis church. A VOICE FROM 'l'hE PAST. The News -Record was handed a rather interesting little document by Mr. ('has, 13, Male the oth- er day, a program of a benefit con- cert given in aid of the Clinton Li- brary Association in the "English church school house on the evening of December 1st, 1809,” The bill is signed by "J. Ridout, Secretary," and 1`IL. Male, President," and among the numbers on the program were instrumental duett by Miss Hale and AIr. J. Ransiord, a vocal duett by Miss II. Day and Miss McTavish, song by Miss Bay, readings by Messrs. Malcontson, Turnbull and Hale, the latter being . "Sam Weller's Valen- tine," song by Mr. C. Stevenson and a (Melt by Misses Stevenson and Me- 'ravish. The name of Rev, NIr. Johnson also appears as arc enter- tainer, he being, probably, rector of St. Paul's at the time. Other nam- es appearing were those of Mr. R. Matheson, Miss 13arry, Mr. Wrist and Dr, Reeve, Tickets were twenty-five cents and were to be obtained at the "stores lla d r of U o ti n o Scott and Co., t A. r r J.c' .tit > > S. rs}e ,13. Ra t,y , ui the Clinton Book ,Store." 1t -looks like. it might have been a first class con- cert and was probably well worth the money and it is hoped tie. Libra- ry Association's exchequer was hand- somely embellished by the proceeds. The reading of this pollowed bit of napes seemed like a voice from the dim past, so few are those left of the People taking part in this entertalu- nnent of long ago. STAND BY YOUR TOWN, The Ridgetown Dominion in its last issue had the following i One of the Most notable facts connected with it country newspaper of to -day is the large increase in the amount of ad- vertising of local business places. The change has taken place gradually, and has been marked especially luting the past year or two. Local mer- chants have found that without a doubt honest advertisements pay, al- so that is necessary to call attention to their; goods because of the immense competition they? face From the de- partmental stores of the big cities. These great establishments advertise their wares most .lavishly, and the metropolitan ` newspapers which can- tain their advertisements are distrib- uted„ over the country,` some, one pa- per of which enters •nearly, every home. The result is that these establish meets have built up an immense, mail trade. In Ridgetown there is no oG casioa for: the, out of town trading • in nine eases out of ten just • as good Bargains may be obtained here: The• duty of citizens is plain, and where` other things are equal pre:erence. should be given the local dealer; who has invested' his capital, and helps ev- cry day tot-riake Ridgetown a better town. It is only a -fair return' that: they receive 3ourF atro-nsge. To turn trade otherwise, r even' in the line of email purchases,, which aro great in• the aggregate, is to invite the decline, of property values .irr Rfdgetown. One word more, There.' la considerable, printing done in the cities which'- should be done in Ridgetown, CLINTON• WON OUT.

One morning last week a comma, cial man from Stratford, who had put up at ono of the Iocal Icotcis for the night, t missed - h s g the mall clock from his par, He reported itis loss to Sergeant Welsh, who,,,acting upon a very faint elue, soon foun1 a boy with the watch on his person. The magistrate imposed 'a fine with costs, This incident led to the locating of other articles which had been "taken" and will in all probability put an end to meddling with autoes or motor-cy- eles, •The Sergeant also located a ladies' bicycle which had bebn stolen, not Withstanding that the tires had been changed and c the wheel t e otherwise dant- aged. 1 t sed. g Tile p.m. ordered the two boys implicated to pay for the re- pairs to the wheel and costs of the court and let them/ go on suspended sentence.

For many years he so successfully bred Shorthorn cattle that he attained a more than pro- vincial reputation, members of the Farm abeing heri i be ng bought by breeders in all parts of the country.

Robt. Carter and Fred. In Eloquent Words:Orange Order is Commended by the Rev. S. J. Allin. The turnout of Orangemen on Sun- day last for the service in Ontario street church wa1 considered the largest in many years. In addition to the members 01 Clinton lodge there were me>nbeirs of 'The order from Seaforth, Goderieh, Summer- hill, Bayfield, Porter's Hill and Win- throp. Over one hundred and fifty were 1 •l C n the procession. n: n When 1 the servicerho c egan b church was S Cretytl- ed to the doors and many were un- able to obtain entrance. In his sermon, which was based on Christ's words : "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall snake you free," Rev. S. J. Allinspoke as/ fol- lows : "The truth and Christ are one. The Orange order is to be com- mended for the prominent place it gives in its ritual to the name of Christ, The headship of Christ is a distinctive and fundamental doctrine• of protestantisnn. In their allegiance to this doctrine of Christ's Siterenn- acy thousands have laid down their lives. 'i'he Orange society must; again be conunencied for the value it places/ on the open Bible. The Bible is a free and open hook in Protestant countries as it is not/ anywhere else. The open Bible has given to the Brit- ish Empire the chieflace tin of honor F t and respect among the nations of the world. Orangemen bolero in the right to read and study that hook for themselves and in the right of private interpretation. It is the hook of the common people. It is the pledge of freedom. Members of the Orange order have also come more and more to see the incporianee of peo- mot'ing the cause or temperance and sobriety amongst its. members and in the community. Men who nnake• or sell intoxicating liquor are not now permitted to become members of the. J>etety, and Orangemen "who become intoxicated violate the rules of the society'. Much as we deplore "Ronne Rule" fn Ireland there is equal rea- son to deplore the "Rule of .Run" in Canada ; and as ' true patriots wo must continue to aid the cause of li- berty by steadfastly setting our faces against the drink traffic. The day trust be near when the influence of the Orangcnnen shall be exerted to secure to women the right to vote on equal terms with ourselves. When that day comes women will aid us in the sale - tion of our social and moral and ed- ucational and national problems. The spirit and exercise el. the virtue of influence is also fundamental and grows out of the, knowledge of the 'Truth.' The motto of the Order is 'Equal Rights to All.' We asv noth- ing for ourselves that: we do not ask for others. The view r c v of the Christian Orange- man tans - nan is that every man whohonors Christ and follows hint is accepted o4 God, The two things that must occasion more than a little concern not tiny to Orangemen but all Protestants are : first, the persistent effort that Rome is now making to sauce in England and in Canada the vantagn groundand power it has lost in Ita- ly and France and Spain and other European countries; and second, the equally persistent effort to secure se- parate schools in every one of the provinces. It is in the interests of all classes and creeds that this coun- try should remain a Protestant coun- try. The liberties of ourselves, of our children and of our neighbors of every race and creed are involved in our leyalty to Christ, to our Sov- erign King, to ono flag and one lang- uage. The appeal novo being made to the Orange order. in Manitoba for our sympathy and support inresisting the attempts to permanently estab- lish separate schools in the province, will merit not • our eptapathy alone but that of all good Protestant peo- ple throughout the Dominion, In closing permit me to remind you that we ate' 'members one of another.' The best things of our lives are of the heart, -our love and respect for one another, our kindly words and deeds and, the manifestation „of the 'elirist- like spirit to each other and to all," After the service, In which the pas- tor of the church had the assistance of the Roe. 0.
