Mrs. Ford was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry Murphy of the 16th concession of Goderich township, where she was born in 1873 and nearly all her life had been spent in that towship. On June 28th, 1899, she was united in marriage to Mr. Ford and they continued to reside in the old township. For a short time Mr. and Mrs. Ford resided in Clinton but they eventually returned to the farm. She is survived by her hus- band and 'one son and one daughter, Mrs. Ernie Little of Goderich town- ship and Harry Ford of Clinton: Three brothers, T. T. Murphy of Goderich, formerly of Clinton, W.

K: McGoun, rector of St. Paul's church. Interment was made in Maitland cemetery, Goderich. The pallbearers were Messrs. Thos. Churchill, McKee Farquhar, R. G. and H. J. Thompson. COOPER—TRELEAVEN A very pretty wedding took place at half after eleven on Saturday forenoon, April fifteenth, at the home of Mrs. Treleaven, when Nor- ma Elizabeth, only child of Mrs. Treleaven and the late J. W. Trelea- ven, was united in, marriage with Mr. John Craigmyle Cooper, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Cooper of Galt. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. C. E. Dougan, of the Presbyterian church, in which the bride has been organist for the past two or three years. The bride, who was given in mar- riage by her uncle, Mr. B. J. 'Gib - binge, wore a lovely wedding gown of white net over white taffeta and carried a bouquet of Talisman roses and lily -of -the valley. The couple were unattended. During the cere- mony they stood before the fireplace in the living room, which was bank- ed with ferns, pussy willows and flowers. During the signing of the register Master Bill Kay White, cousin of the bride, played softly on the piano. After the ceremony a buffet luncheon was served, Messrs. Don Cooper, Roy Allen, Jack Gibbings and Master Bill and Buddy Kay White serving the guests. The table, covered with a hand- some lace cloth and centred with the bride's cake of unique design, was adorned with white candles in silver holders tied with white tulle, and an abundance of spring flowers were placed all about the rooms. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper left the same afternoon on a motor trip honey- moon, the bride donning for her journey a suit of blue camelshair with blue' fox trimming, a blue hat; and 'ether accessories of gray. On their return they will reside in Clinton, Mr. Cooper being a mem- ber of the staff'. of the Collegiate Institute. Amongst the out-of-town guests were: Mrs. (Dr.) Kay, Miss Elaine Kay and Masters Bill Kay White and Buddy Kay White. of Lapeer, Mich.; Miss Mary McTaggart and Miss Libbie Gibbings, Toaionto; M)ein's.

Treleaven, Lucknow; Mr. and Mrs. Ford and Miss Mary Ford, Hanover; • Miss Marion Cribbings, Stratford. DEATH OF A. E. SINCLAIR Word was' received yesterday of the death, which occurred at Rainy River, of Mr, A. E. Sinclair, whose wife is a sister of Mrs. J. A, lord, Mrs. iii. Piekard and Miss Georgina Rumball of Clinton. Mr. Sinclair, who was on a busi- ness trip to the west and was accom- panied by his wife, was taken ill there and on recovering partially was able to be brought to Rainy River, where his mother and other members of his family reside, a couple of months ago. But his condition grew stead- ily worse. Mr. Sinclair will be re- membered by many here as he and Mrs. Sinclair frequently visited their relatives in Clinton. The funeral will take place at Rainy River 'on Friday afternoon. A NEICE MARRIED The Huron 'Expositor had the fol- lowing last week. The bride in this case is also a niece of Mrs. (Dr.) Bow- ler of Clinton: "The following 'clipping from a western paper of recent date refers to the marriage sof a niece of Mrs. C. Glew and Mr. W. A. Crich: 'The marriage of Bertha Agnes Callander to Wallace IT. Vann, of Winnipeg, took place on Monday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Callander, ' in Hartney. The bride was given in marriage by her father and was at- tended by Miss Sadie Ledwick, of Melita. Russel Callender acted as groomsman. The `wedding march was played by the bride's sister, Miss Beryl Callander, of Brandon. Following the ceremony, [which was performed by Rev. E. S. Dixon, a wedding breakfast was served to the guests. The happy couple left by the afternoon train for Winnipeg where they will reside.'" LITTLE LOCALS Mr. R. Glazier has rented the cot- tage belonging to Miss M. J. Moore, William street. Gardening is the order of the day just now. Growth has been very rap- id the past week. Is Clinton going to have a weekly half holiday this summer? If so, when does it start? ' Mrs. D. E. Foster will not be at home on her usual day, the fourth Tuesday of the month. The W.C.T.U. will meet at the home of Mrs. A. Seeley, High street, on Friday afternoon at three o'clock. The Clinton Dramatic Association were at Auburn yesterday evening putting on the play, "Jimmy, be Careful." The train from Toronto was over three hours late Thursday night, due to a derailment at Norval. A large number of holiday visitors were a board when the train reached here after midnight. The fire alarm was sounded early Tuesday morning by someone who probably wanted to see how quickly the firemen could get to the scene. The alarm was a false one but it might be well not to repeat it. There's a somewhat stiff penalty for that kind of joke. AMONG THE CHURCHES Very impressive, joyous Easter services were held in all the Clinton churches on Sunday. The respective pastors had prepared appropriate and well -thought-out sermons and the choirs furnished suitable music. In each case the attendance was aug- mented by many visitorswho had come to spend the Eastertide with Clinton friends. The Good Friday services were also well attended.

THE JUNIOR BAND CONCERT The Junior Band gave . a second concert in the town hall on Tuesday evening, a fairly good audience turning out to hear the juniors per- form. Their performance was well worth hearing, too, and their ad- vancement, under the leadership of Mr. Morgan Agnew, is very patent to the ear. It looks as . if Clinton is in no danger of being without a good band in the years to come, as our much appreciated Kilties will be refreshed from time to time with new members from the juniors as time goes on. THE MILITARY BALL The annual military ball, given un- der the auspices of the Huron Regi- ment, on Monday night in the town brought out a large number of invit- ed guests. The hall was handsomely decorat- ed with flags and bunting, the streamers from the central lights to the side walls being quite effective. The stage decorations were fur- nished by the Olin Brown orchestra, which furnished the music for the dance. Col. and Mrs. Sturdy and Cod. and Mrs. Heenan received the guests, while the local officers and their wives assisted in making the visitors welcome. Guests were present from London, Stratford, Woodstock, Mit- chell, Preston, Goderich, Seaforth, Exeter, Hensel], Wingham and Brus- sels, about two hundred being pre- sent. Supper was served at small tables set in the council chamber, the guests being served in relays as they could be accommodated.
