Ha,r- laud retired from. the firm of Hail. land Bros. with which he had been associated for a great many years. The business was carried on by Mr. John Harland, but owing to ill health Phe latter now goes out and Mr. W. S. Harland again cones back and, associated with his nephew, Will. Harland, will continue to trade under the familiar firm name of Marland Bros. and will push bus- iness with the vigor that, has al- ways characterized them, PROGRAM OF A HIGH ORDER. The Ladies' Guild of Ste Peel's church have no reason to be any- thing- but gratified by the result) of concert given in the town hall on New Year's evening. The hall was filled with an appreciative audience, almost, every reserved seat having. been taken before tee hall opened, and the -concert was well put on. The program was under the direction of Miss May Rance, who besides giv- ing several numbers herself had se- cured the asc;tstance of other aruists, so than . the program was vase's' and ot a very high order of excellence. Miss Iva Dodds of'Seaforth, who is not unkhown to a Clinton audience' and whose singing was well received, gave a couple of selections and was recalled each time. One of her encores was "My Rosery," which she sang very sweetly. 114:e. Harry Livens of Chieagb, an accomplishedpianist, rendenad sever- al selections to the delight of mus:.; lovers and also accompanied Misr; Dodds. Miss Eileen Hoover gave a violin selection which was much appreciat- ed. She very generously responded to repeated encores, bue many regretted {flat she did not again appear. Miss Hoover is a clever musician and be- ing a native of town, Clinton would be glad of the privilege of hearing her oftener. Miss Ranco gave several readings. Mine Rance has won. for hernelf -a warm place in the hearts of Clin- ton audiences and her appearance is always -the signal' for loud applause. She seems to be equally at home in presenting characters;• grave or gay; Her representation of a foot- ball . scene made quite a bit on Monday evening, as well as the hear - ler pieces. At the conclusion of the program a short comedy entitled, "Our Aunt from California," was put on. A rich aunt was exp eoted on a visit by a family of three girls: The aunt was supposed to be fond of a joke and it was her intention to take one of the girls with her to Europe: Two of nee girls, one of whom was of a serious nature and the other very indolent, ,immediately began to make preparations to win the aunt's approval and the pilot gathers around tee representation of the aunt by the Ober sister, Sally, who has a tasi'a- for theatricals, Many a laughable situation is reach- ed as Sally' compels tale indolent Rosalie to dance ' attendance upon her and when she insists upon the serilous-minded. Felice singing coon songs. Finally the real aunt arrives but Is met. by gaily who takes her for a dressmaker whom she has en- gaged to alter her costume. The unknown aunt accepts the situation until the real dressmaker arrives whicb causes complications. Things keep going from bad to worse until the mother comes tomo and recog- nizes the aunt jus as they are ac- cusing her of being a thief, Explan- ations follow and poen .Sally is ', in: disgrace. But the aunt, who really' is something of ,a humorist,. declares that the impei+sonatlon of ih'iself by'' Sally right inher p esence .. is the best joke she has a er witnessed so she asks that damsel to accompany her on a trip to Europe, and 'bhe curtain falls upon bhe diepair . of the two sisters who had gone to such elaborate pains to win the good opinion ' of the wealthy aune. from California. The parts, were well acted, proving teat Clinton is keeping, up, Its; reputation fon turning out a0com- pl'ished actors. Miss Ranee sustained well the part of the irrepressible and fun -loving Sally ; Miss Jessie O'Neil also dial well in the part of the indolent Rosalie, ';while Miss Mabel Clue represented fele serious, long -faced Felicia, who Was looping forward to"visiting *he grave of Browning, the comb of Shakespeare 'and the graveyard where Gray wrote his-'llegy'." Miss Stella Copp took the part of ilio Aisne,Mies E. Chid ley that of the dressmaker, .Mrs. Ar moue, the motsier and Miss Jean Cludley that of the Maid. The concert wan a good one arld.the Ladies' Guild is to be congratu- lated upon its slicceee. I3APTIST CHURCH. On Monday evening the B. Y. P. U. held ar ve y sucessful. social.

A JANUARY WEDDING. On Tuesday the 'home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Cook was the scene of a pretty wedding, when their youngest daughter, Annie Elizabeth, was united in mare:ago to Mr. W. S. Atkins of Toronto. The ceremony wasestormed p bq Rev. J. E. Ford.. and was witnessed only by fee im- mediate families. The bride wore her travelling suit of browu cloth and carrieda boquet of cream a $ ns. The young couple were unattended. Mise Erecta Coul- tes of Toronto, cousin of the bride, played tbe wedding march. After the ceremony and when the newi!y wedded pair had aseceived the congratulations of the relatives press ent, all sat down -to a sumptnioas wedding leas0. 1VIr. and Mrs. Atkins left on the 3.07 train for Aetroid and .will. visit several of the American cities before taking up their rerddence in Toianfo, -where the groom bolds a responsible position with eho Ford Automobile Co.

THE RESULT IN TOWN. • The :contesii fou the mayoealty was an unusually keen one and for the reeveship only a little fess so. The election of Mr. Gibbings was, gener- ally expected but although the odds we•,a in his favor het didn't let up for a moment until the poll closed._ He is certainly a persistent? cam- paigner and having to fight so stren- uously for the honor will appreoia{e it an the more. The NewsRecord is confident he will be one of the moist progressive =yore Clinton has .yet had. Po thoseat all familiar with the well-organised opposition Mr. Couper encountered the wonder is he made so good a run, While to bo sea: the result must have been personally disappointing ib does not by any means imply that he will lose inter- est in municipal matters in which he has been so actives and where he has rendered splendid service :tro the town. It's a pity be is not in the council this year or at any rate one of the water commissioner',: Mr. D. Cantelon was very much pleased with the wasult and be ought to do for 82 is the record ma - jostler for the reevesdiip. The el- ectors will l-ectors'will not regret their choice. Mr, Smyth entered the campaign confident of; winning and fought hard, -but D. C's push and popular - ley are not easily overcome.

After the ceremony a r\•impteous wedding luncheon woe served.

The bride's fathee presented her with a fine organ, Mr. and Mrs, Butt left on the 4.23 train amid showers of 0on- Ietti and good wishes, They will vis- it Hamilton, Chatham, Detroit and other points and will later -leave for their home in Saskatoon.

On Sunday evening 'last, at the closing service or the old yeae, the choir ot St. Paul's,wa • ' vested f r sn the first time. For greater decency and better accommodation an rill door leading from the vestry to the church was re -opened and enlarged: Through tees the ch0i1 entered the nave to the singing of the pr.au'slott- al hymn, "On Our Way Rejoicing." Four boys led the procession, Mils- tein Douglas Erskine., II'it)y Law- rence, Fred Lawronce and Willie Fu,' - ford, followed by the.soprerias, al- tos, tenors and bassos in double rank. With slow well regulaitri '"eps the choir ascended in dignified man- ner to their respective plazas, r the bright light Neem the lectrr,e !seeps shedding a radlan0 glow ails nae whole assembly. Every delete: of the service was as well carried out as though the cito,r had been singing processionals for Che last twenty years. There was not a single hitch in all the minute arrangements, And the choir excelLttl themselvoa. Their singing seemed to be inspired and moved all hearts to worslip and praise. - The writer has attended; few services that have been mote besut+h- rul, uplifting, insptreng and reveren- tial than tlhat of last Sunday evening. During' {lie service the choir sang an delight:ul harmony dtho anthems "Shout the .Glad 'Tidings" and Goulios's "'Nazareth." Solo parts we»e taken by Messrs. C. 1.. Dow- ding and • Jas. Doheatv. Once more et the' close of the service the choir with simplicity and reverential dignity started in paaecession - to the vestry singing as they never sang bofo'o,' bhe words of that grand old hymn of ipealse '"'rho Day Thou Oav- est,, Lord, is Ended." There was something moving, something eloquent somee:nine 1, int touched the heart in the whole scene and we feel that the vest -sag of the members of . Se. Paul's choir in surplice and cassock with the dignity; r'tmplicity and reav- erential beermg 'resulting °therefrom will prove a rich addition, PO an already beautiful service. The rector wellies to take this' op- poraunity of thankrteg tee meinhcrn the choir for their attendance and. services, .)lot',only on Sunday last, n everySunday, int each and and also to tee congregation for elide regular attendance ands fine loyalty displayed during the past six ennuis which be bas been' rector, Tice 'Ladies' Guilci will hold their reguigr monthly te'e in ^ the school roam on Monday afternoon next.
