Treleaven and the late J. W. Trelea-
ven, was united in, marriage with

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

the bride, played softly on the piano.
After the ceremony a buffet

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.
