Mr. Dave Steep has accepted the position of foreman on Mr, Rens- lord's big farm at Stapleton and bas entered upon his duties there.• Dave is one of those -steady„ reliable sten who have .tie same gait en the boss' presence as in his absence, His ser vices are thus sought after. Of lats years he has been in the employ of 1 who a'.m e Mills the Canadian I las rIP y didn't want to let him go, but as continuing with them would imply moving from Clinton, he accepted the place with Mr. Ransford who is well known as a considerate employer, and who was as glad to.get Dave as the fine peop'lc were to lose him. Mr. and Mrs. Steep will take up their abode a fete n. aiSt to es P in one of the cot a A PLEASANT EVENING. The choir of the Ontario street church drove out to the residence. of Mr. James Cornish on -the Blase Line one of those beautiful ntoonlighit nights last week, and proceeded to take possession and make themselves very much at home.

How Can the Town' Grow Unless There Are Houses for the Newcomers. A meeting of the committee a';? pointed to - go into' the. matter r , the building of workmen's houses flet Clinton met on Tuesday everi,ug, en the town clerk's office. Police Magistrate Andrews was chairman and the following 'repaee- sentatives ofindustries were •presentai Thos. Jackson,. Jr,, representing the ,Jackson Mfg. Company. Mr. 0, Cluff representing the Pineal, and Organ Company. Mr. Brown representing the Wear - well Knitting Co., Mr. Craig, representing the hi000r Car Co., Mayor Gibbings, reprosentsing tow Town. Police Magistrate Andrews pointed out the ne eseity for a concentrated movement to urge the erection ole modern workmen's houses so as 11,0 'induce workmen to come to Chia - ton and locate and help build rep our industries and the town, mei asked for remarks from the represen- tatives of labor as to what thus, thought would be the most 1proibile. way of accomplishing the object. Mr. Craig spoke in. detail o i the difficulties his Company was new confronted with due to the lack off the proper- housing facilities for hie' workmen. Mr, Craig stated that according tc,, a bylaw passed by the town hie Company was required to employ .40 men, that at present they had 20 em- ployees in the Clinton Motor Wolter,. the selling season was just beginning. and he anticipated a very busy sacs - mer for his Company which _ wonidI mean that he would have to bring in more men to operate the business and that he was really now in geiter a dilemma as to how he could in- duce men to come to Clinton' anted locate here as there are really no houses they could occupy, and it iool•- ed:fke'his Company were, aQmost pre- pared of employ the number required by the Bye Law but that the Towsa of Clinton had apparently not taken into consideration tho fact that by compelling the ,Clinton Motor Cate Co. to employ 40 men they hart made no provisions to house them_ Thesituation from Mr. Craig's'p•oane. of view was a serious ono and , 'was something that should cause ' the people of Clinton to take cognizance of at once as no industry coukd ex- pand and no town could grow unlbse with the co-operation of every rraaet in the community and the building of the proper houses to take care o8 the incoming population and unless something was done and done at once Clinton would remain a town and would not grow like other towns in the province, Mr. Craig drew attention to -;i simitar situation he was placed in when manager of a large automolaile factory in a little town, pointed one how this factory grew beyond ael. expectations and that when pecpkr refused ee come to the town because there were no houses they would live n the Company he represented- ta- perer with some of the leading bus- • mess men of the town formed' e stock company for the purpose o!9' building houses. Shares in 'this company were sold for $10.00 le share, the inhabitants of the towns were loyal to the town they lived! in and to a roan they subscribed Ion stack lin the corporation that meant. to build up the town: Options were secured by th,s Company on vacant, lots and houses .were -.built by ;them and sold or rented to workmen. Peo- ple who had land but no money tee build houses on .the same were loan- ed money by this corporation to es- ect houses and the result was tba't in:,ide of two years this town en - creased in; population from MOOD to 700e inhabitgnts, Mr. ' Craig suggested Hint an or- ganization similar to this he f )r;tred in Clinton and that a movement to build up the toren be immediately, started. SURPRISED. ' On Monday evening about thirty of the younger set took occasion to give Master Lloyd Rice a. Jolly, surprise, it being his fourteenth 'birthday. Lloyd was taken, completely by surprise. After spending tiwo or three hours in games and music, dainty refresh- ments were served when all left for home, well- satisfied with their even- ing and surprise. S. A. NOTES.

There was a very good tournout and elle speaker was listened' to with much interest and pleasure as he discoursed upon this common but not very well understood subject.:' VARNA "RAMB'LF,•RS" WON.

Besides the hell -ringing, which was very pleasing, the vocal numbers were exceptionally fine. The first teas ae alto solo, ren- dered in an. exceedingly pleasing and well-trained voice, and there were also ,nor and baritone solos, duets, guar tettes, and double quartettes. The whole program was good and it was indeed a. welt pleased crowd which left the ,hall at, close,' The Ont ario street r�'toir, under whose auspi- ces the concert was given, realized as nice sum from the proceeds.
