'anything when she was invited to
take tea at the home at Miss Mabel
Cantelonlast 'Thursday evening
but when. about eight o'clock her
girl friend's carie flocking in ' she
realized that she was the victim of
a plot. She grew quite alarmed
v:bet Miss Winnie'O'Neil stepped
forward holding a legal looking
document which she uroceleded to
read. However it proved -to be
nothing more formidable than an
address in which—but - as the ad-
dress mentioned soma of Misis;Cow-
an"s plans which are yet secret we
are not allowed to- say what it con
tainsld. Suffice it to say that it
expressed tick, -girl's ragard forlidies
Cowan and asked her. acceptan.c(e,
of a pearl. cresceet which arae ,then
presented by.:(Miss,G.O!nff: `Mists
Cowan made a neat little speech,
thanking the donors and express-
ing her regret at leaving Clinton.
After the preeentation, progressive

A FORMER CLINTON BOY.
We give below anaccauet of thea
drowning of Frank Potts, ' who was
born in town and \who is a nephewof Mr. Geo. Potts, who was drown-
ed
rowned ;last Monday, Sept. 30th.
Frank C. Fott.s of F •r- Aa yen, an
expert automobile and gasoline' en-
gine mechanic, uutil recently in the
employ of the Mriropolitan Sight-
seeing Co., and .residing at ."e3 May
bury avenue, was drowned near
Fair Haven last Monday afternoon
V11'10 returning from the Flats in
a gasoline launch, in + ompany with
Leonard Wiseman of the, suanmer
hotel, Fair 'Haven. Mr. Potts Was,
ehatging places in the • boat with
Mr. 'Wiseman when he stotmbledt
over an oar and 'was precipitated..
into the water. Although an ex-
pert swimmer, the heavy ellen and
woolen underwear he wore dragged
him down,. Be sink in 90 feet cif
water despite the efforts oflWise-
ntan to drag . bilin• tack tato the
boat. A Port Huron coroner is at
work trying to recover the body.
The two: men left Fair Ha'ren in
Wiseman's launch at 10 o'clock
yesterday niorndrg, going to the
Plats to bring back a boat belong-
irdg to Wiseman that Potts was go-
ing to repair. On the trip back the
wind arose and the water was vm'y
rough, 'Wiseman was at the wheel
and complained that his fingers
were being stiffened by the cold,
Then Potts suggested that he
would change places with him' and
• v as trying to do so when he ftelLl in
the water. Potts had so much work
111JRAL MAIL DELIVERY
While there are all sorts of rum-
ors r-ireulated;as to rural routes
about Clinton, yet : none has yet
.been heard to. give anything de: r-
nite as to where the routes will
tun. , Outside reports say the wholle
•of Huron county wild be covereld.
In speaking ma ' Iris subjL,:t the
Seaforth News says, The [state-
meent. which has ,beau cireulate,d
during :the past week that; the
town of Seaforth was being die
'.riecanated 'against in the laying
out of routes +tor rural mail de-
livery, turns out to be absolutely
wrong. Mr, J. J. Merner, M, P. for
this riding who has taken a very
active interest in having rurahm,ail
routes established in South Huron,
has 'done all that possibly could be
done to see that Seaforth received'
its fel4 share of territory, and that
it wili,be a distributirpg centre for
alf the out -laying pointe that can
he economically, seri;ed. It bas
leen stated that the distributing
points for South Huron mould be
Dublin, Walton, Clinton and Hee-
eel'. 'While those places, no doubt
will serve the
county closebythem
they, inno way, interfere with Sea
forth, nor does any route establish
ed in any way em;•roach, upon ter-
ritory rightfully belonging to Sea-
forth. In fact the nearest that any
relate comes to Seaforth on the
South is the one flow Kippen which
takes in only as, far, as the ninth
concession of Tuckersmith, and on
'the west, Clinton serves as far east
as Broedfoot's .beidge, Seaforth

PENALTIES FOR LAYMEN.
The 'provincial linen e department is
calling'
rhe attenti, n ot; municipal
police -pincers to thee fact tnat the
Liquor License Act provides penalties
fol laymen who failed in the enforce-
ment of the act., A case of this'
nature to the hest of their memory
has never yet been brought to the at.
tention of the local police authorities.
They sa,v, however, should a citizen
he fotmd in the act of giving,liquer to'.
an Indian lister or sees another person
doing likewise and he fails to report
the matter to them, it wanll he next
to impossible to prosecute hint..They
would' have a hard task ahead of them,
they, think, in proving that the man
kuew that the persou who gave the
drink to or saw getting the liquor
was on the prohibitory list. Most
persons on the Indian -list are praoti•
r illy uuknown to the average citizen.
The list is roc, large at "present and
vowing steadily in size that the bar=
tenders.theinseives know only a small
proportion of them. Beside the
police and immediate friends or re-
latives of the Indian lister, or persons
who might happen to be in court
when he was put onhhe list, no one
knows of it. Consequently this clause
of the Liquor License Act se'dom
plays a part in a case.
A F,ORMER BURJNI,TE.
Saturday's Stratford Herald had
the following intro/latexes to a
special article they are running --
The Herald begs to introduce 'The
Ignoramus Abroad" again to its
readers, this time under the title of
'.Onlooker," hoping to have the
pleasure of printing many of his
chats on human subjects is the
Saturday Herald, The former title
was perhaps not sufficiently com-
plimentary to aur readers, as his in-
dicates inhis preface ;below. As
for himself, ''The Ignoramus
Abroad" partook of the humor df
Mark Twain in adopting the title
"The Innocents Abroad." -Mark
Twain was no innocent; neither is
Robt. J. Densmore any ignoramus.
For tome years 'fr:r. Dumsmore, who
was brought up on the Huron.
Road in the Clinton yiciiirity has
conducted an'SOnlooker" depart -
