A PAINFUL ACCIDENT' Little Miss Marion Andrews, youngdaughter. of Magistrate and Mrs, Andrews, met with an accident recently which prevented her •attend- ing achool for several days. She was running about the school ...yard at play and suddenly turning •a corner, she collided with anther little girl. An arm was quickly thrown out and the force of the impact was. so great that the arm, while not being actually , baokera was badly "bent' as it were, necessitating the use of a bandage and a sling, which is even yet considered a matter o[ precaution. The little patient is now recovering nicely, however. ; OFFICERS OF VIE ORANGE. The following have been elected of- ficers et Murphy L. 0. L. No. 710 for the ensuing term Master, T. J. Managhan.

Clinton citizens as a aule aro pret- ty good snow shovelers. After • the recent Snow fall the walks were quickly cleared and walking about town was adeedily made as comfort- able as possible. There are a few vacant lots- and buildings opposite which the snow is allowed to remain until it Melts and this renders walking both disagreeable and dan- gerous. But one of the places where Um snow was allowed to stay until Old Sol removed it was not a vac- ant lot at all but wasain front of the market square. Surely this is showing la bad eXample to citizens. If the town will tit remove the snow opposite its own Property private citizens can hardly be expect- ed to do so. Arrangements should be made not only for removing the snow from opposite public property but also in front of vacant lots. Charge it up in the taxes if neces- sary, But certainly the people who are doing the actual work in Clinton at the present time should not be compelled to suffer for the neglect or carelessness of absentees, aril they threugli show piled up in front of certainly shOuldn't have to wade public property. Let the street committee, or whoever is responsible, get busy. CLINTON BOYS SAFE. Clinton came off' much more fortun- ately than many ether Ontario towns in the recent storm which took such a toll of human life on Lake Huron, There were several Clinton men a- board the different boats but all are reported sate 11 Schoenhals, son of Mr. John Schoenhals, who is a- board the Kenora, is reported safe. Gordon Holtzliauer, son of Mr. E. Holtzhauer, was on the Albarta and was bale in harbor. His brother Wellington was with the Turret Chief and had a most thrilling exper- ience before reaching safety. The ves- sel was grounded on the Michigan shore and was in a way of being broken up. Two long ladaers were spliped together and flung shorewards and one of the crew went out cM this to struggle and be washed a- shore where he secured a rope and madesit possible, for sall to reacla solid ground. The escape was made near Calumet, Mich., and when Mr. R. H. Read, formerly of Clinton but who now resides at Calumet, heard that there was a Clinton Man a- mong the crew he hunted outthe bunch and showed them much kind- nass. Thus do the meanories of ear- ly childhood cling to one and the native place ever holds a warm spot In the affections, Ray Ford, son of Mr. John Ford, was with the Midland King and is safe. Norman Sheppard, son of Mr. J, P. Sheppard, is on the Yorkton, which seemed to he out of the storm zone, while the sons of Mr. Harry Cook and Ernie Huller, son of yr. George Huller, .are reported safe. Bodies from the difaerent boata have been drifting in along the shore, It was Mr, A. H. Hovey of Vow; who was with Mr, K. Naftel ,when the three bodies were discover - td lashed to the raft Froin the Jam- es Carruthers. Some idea of the severity of the storm might be gathered atoms a sight of the wreckage floating in..; heavy timbers from the boats btroken into matchwood, pieces of the cabin, •the deck house, the doors, the fur - attires., all bearieg silent tlimigh elo- quent testimony of the fierce battle waged with the elements on that wild night. It was at losing battle, faught against heavy odds and for- tunate indeed were those who escap- ed even' with life, for many a brave , lifo was lost, RECEIVING DAYS. • relich vil Mrs I be at home to .

Libby, well known as a former superintendent of the Shaw Hosiery Co., and secretary and treasurer of the Highland club of this city, has gone to New. York to investigate an offer which he has re- ceived from one of the large firms to -manage a plant in Canada. Mr. ' Libby left this city last night and provided his negotiatiorra are satis- factory will prqbably leave the Met- ropolie for Canada tomotrow. The business in question is located in a ' Canadian town somewhere north-. of I Detroit. Mr. Libby was for some time superintendent of the Shaw Hosiery Co,- of Lowell but, severed Tis connection With that firm about ' two years ago. Ile is an expert at the business and his ability is given widespread recognition' I Mr. Gus Harris continues to be superintendent of the mechanical de- partment of the mill for which he is ' so well qualified and Mr. David Lat- rick, who came from Penman's big mills at Paris, and is an expert 1 dyer, is in charge of that brawsh of the industry, The sales department will be look- ed after by Major Combe, who has had several years experience on the road in the interests of the popular Wearwell arand. ONE OF THE MANY. I The funeral of the late James Glenn, one of the unfortunate vic- tims of the recent storm en Lake Huron, a member of the screw of the Wexford whose body was washed a- shore near St. Joseph, took place I from the 'undertaking rooms of Ball and Atkinson on Friday afternoon last, interment acing made in Clinton cemetery. . The unfortunate young man NS S.S a nephew by marriage of Rev. W. W. Wylie of town, his wife being a niece. He had only been in Canada a few months having come out from Dairy, Scatland, early in May last. He had react been a settee in the, 010 Coun- try but having had some experience as an operator of an electric crane at the docks, had gainad Some know- ledge of shipping and had joined the crew of the Wexford, sailing with , her all summer. It was his intentton I to go home to S.aotiand asefore i Christmas and to bring his wife to Canada with him ens the spring. On learning of the tragedy Mr. Wy- lie immediately went to • where a number of bodies were washed ashore and -had no difficulty in identfying the body. Evidently he had not been taken unawares as he had on his person hissnoney, letters, and other small personal beronsings. Another nephew of Mr. Wylie's Wil- son Wylie, a brother-in-law of Mr. Glenn, who had come, to Canasta with him, was on 'board the Doric, which got safely to harbor at Mid- land. • There was something singularly sad and' anpressive about the ser- vices on Friday, which were Conduct- ed hy Rsv D K, Grant, assisted by Rev.., C. E. Jeakins, and, tmany a sympathic thought was given to 'the bereft ones so far away. A number attended the funeral and several sent flowers to place upon the casket. The pallbearers Were D. K. Prior, Thos. ' Watt, J. lYfansel, 8, Morris and two cousins of the deceased, W. J, and J. Wylie. •s, In view of all the circumstances it , was a painftil duty which devolved upon Rev, 1111r, Wylie to communi- cate the sad news to the wife And parents of the young mail in Scot- land who were eagerly expecting his retells to a few short weeks. i'KEEPS-ME IN TOUCH.''.

Some are boxed, ready tor ship- ment, others are now being packed but there are still many awaiting the ex eoutioner, then the "roughers" am the "pinners.". The former, as th name might indicate, strip the feath- ers roughly and do it almost as quickly as the process could here be told about, -while the planers clean tip the birds ready for the market. The work requires speed and as the operators are paid so much per' they make a good daily wage. The tur- keys were bought by Messrs. R. Graham and T. H. Cook who paid 16 to 17 cents per pound live weight. They resold to the Swifts, Toronto. The heaviest bird in the whore bunch had a dressed weight of twers- ty-five pounds.
