ABOUT KINGS
There has been a lot of care and time expended in
selecting this ring stock of ours. Quite a" rod deal
of money spent, too,for we wanted it above all things
p g
as complete as we could possibly get it.
We have some particularly handsome stone cora- •
binations for ladies.
Also attractive effects for gentlemen, some of them
sell for $2.00, and from that price go away up to
overr a hundred dollars.
Then we have some cute little rings for the young-
er folks for $1.00 and thereabouts.
You will be, perfectly safe if you depend upon
this store for your ring needs.

FINISHING UP,
Chief Wheatley has wound up his
street building operations lot the
season and now has hit staff busy
on odd jobs around town. Theses
too, will be finished iv ten days or so
and then the Big Chief will be don-
ning his official uniform again.

A holiday for the Chief is a rarity,,
two days in succession unheard of, so
if the council were to say, officially
"Here, -Joe ! Take four days. Go to.

HOME AGAIN.
Mr. C I,. Dowding, local manager
of the Molsons Bank, 'returned on
Thursday evening last from a tittle
jaunt to England. He was aocompan-
ied over by Mr. T. Jackson Jr., and
they spent a good part of the time
while there together, but Mr. Jack-
son returned a fortnight earlier.
Sailing out from Montreal on June
10th, they experienced a fog when out
about a day and for ten hours they
drifted, not daring to put on steam
for o fear of icebergs.
When the fog
cleared the found themselves in
a
field of ice and were informed' that it
was in the vicinity of the Titanic die.
aster. When out of the ice region
they do not stop for fog but only
slacken speed considerably.
After spending a few hours in Liv-
erpool, a visit was made to Brad-
ford where they were most hospitab-
ly entertained by Mr. Kramrisch, who
has visited Clinton on various occa-
sions, Mr, Kramrisch took them in
his auto through the greater part of
Yorkshire, which for beauty of land-
seep° Tr.
Dowdingsayss he never r saw
equalled. The green hedges, well -
tilled fields, smooth roads, which, by
the way, even excel the fine maca-
damised streets of Clinton of which
we are so justly proud, the closely
cropped grass and trim, well -kept ap-
pearance of the whole country would
give one the impression of driving for
days through a vast park. Visits were
made to several ruined Abbeys, the'
one which impressed the visitors most
being Fountain's Abbey in Yorkshire,
the beauty of whioh it is said can not
be adequately described, but must be
seen to be 'appreciated. Mr. Dowding
brought home some excellent pboto-
graphs of this fine old ruin, as well
as of several other scenes which serve
to illustrate to some extent the beau-
ty of landscape for which the right
little, tight little island is so deserv-
edly famous.
Some time was spent in Leeds,
where relatives of Mr. Jackson's re-
side, and Mr. Dowding enjoyed a con-
siderable stay at Chippenham, Wilt-
shire, his home share, where his fath-
er still resides.
A visit was made to Weymouth, a
naval port and popular watering
place where hnndreds of war vessels
were at anchor, preparations being,.
then under way for the grand naval
review at Spithead, which took place
later. Mr. Dowding would have liked
to have been present for this spectacle
which was attended by Premier Bor-
den and membeas of his cabinet, but
be couldn't enthuse Mr,. Jackson suffi-
ciently to induce hint to go.
Of course the chief interest of the
trip centered about London, Tlie great
metropolis never fails to interest. Tho
many plates which are being eon-
s'tantly visited by tourists were taken
in, and many more which escape the
average tourist. It was studied in
the 'early morning when few are
abroad except the costermongers, at
mid-day when the business noorld is
busy, and in the evening when wealth
and fashion drives abroad, in search
of pleasure and excitement, and every
phase of life .had its own peculiar in-
terest. "There is but one London,"
remarked Mr. Dowding, '!everyone is
agreed upon that, and when you see
it for yourself you know that it is
true," The fine order with which the
vast crowds are handled, the system
and entire absence or confusion never
fail to excite the wonder and admira-
tion of the observant traveller:
Kung George dappence to be absent,
which no doubt-, accounted for the
fact that the Clinton citizens Were not
'''Commanded to dine and sleep" at
the palace, but while sitting in tbo
park oneday they obtained a good
view of Her Majesty, Queen Mary,
wbo' was driving about,. They hap-
pened to be near' a crossroad
and the royal carriage passed them
several times, and once, being seized
by a bright inspiration, they stepped
out to the edge of the /drive ' where
they stood alone. Doffing their hats
as the carriage passed they Were re-
warded by a special bow and smile
from Het Majesty. Queen. Mary, who
is known to be a very clever woman,
probably recognized them as Cara
-
diens.
Though the trip was full of interest
and Canada can learn many things
from the Motherland by which she
Might profit, yet the travellers agree'
that this' new country, though ' in
some respects crude, is the peunsry
EXPANDING.

CLINTON WANTS THE SAME.
Mr: George Rose, Chief Superinten-
dent of Postollices for Canada, was in
Listowel on Thursday of last week
in conference with Mr. Morphy, who
went over the town with him, and.
the Chief Superintendent has located
about upwards of twenty points at.

the convenience con enie a o{ citizens at all time

them, for mailing their letters . toga:

appreciate this service as it is one
which will bring the postoffice to

ONT. ST.CHURCH,
Miss Hattie Levis, who was a dele-
gate to the Snmmer School at St.

ject. Mr. Gordon -Taylor presided,
Miss Williams, soloist in College

BAPTIST CH•TJRCH,
The :services in this church the past
few Sundays have been both interest.
ing and helpful, those of last Sun-
day being especially so. The pastor
conducted the morning service and
preached an impressive sermon from
the words : "My God, My God, why
hast thou forsaken me." In the ev-
ening the choir, assisted by Prof. and
Mrs. Campbell and Miss Zada Me -
Rae, gave a most excellent song ser-
vicc. Each number was beautifully
rendered and all were of such a na-
ture as to create a worshipful spirit.
In the opening anthers, "Sabbath
Eve," Mrs. Hoover took the solo
part with marked ability and great
sweetness. Miss, McRae rendered a
beautiful setting of "Rock of Agee,"
in rich, full voice and with much ex-
pi:ession. There were also a duct,
"On Christ I Stand," a trio, "Jesus,
Saviour Pilot Me," and a quartette,
"Abide With Me," all of which were
rendered in a• manner to enhance the
beauty and value of an inspiring song
service. The preacher of the evening
was Rev. R. McCallum: of Waldemar
Presbyterian church,, who gave a
praotical aria telling address from the
text, "And when the burnt ofYeri'ng
began, the song of the Lord began,
also," A large congregation was
present.
