FEWER COURT CASES In our Twenty-five Years Ago col- umn on another page of this issue will be found a reference to the ap- pointment of Col„ then Capt., H. T. Rance as division court clerk, togeth- er with the interesting information that the first clerk of this court was Mr. H. T. Rance, father of the new appointee. In the first nine months after the court was organized, 810 suits were tried, but at that time it was the tenth court of the United 'Counties of Huron and Bruce, and for manyyears,even ev n during the in- cumbency of the late W. W. Ferran, Col, Rance's predecessor, court was also held in Wingham. In the early days there were a good many more cases tried in divis- ion court, from 900 to 1300 or over during the year. The number barely reaches the hundred now. "What makes the difference," was the ques- tion we asked Col. Rance the other day. "Well," he replied, "there was a lot of credit given in earlier days, accounts running on through the year, and somebody was always dis- puting an account, then there was a lot of trucking and trading, horse trading brought on a lot 'of cases. And there were line fence disputes disputes over drains and all sorts of things ended in the division court. And," concluded Col. Rance, "it may be that people are not so quarrel• some as they used to be." When Col.'Rance was appointed to office the late David Dickenson was bailiff, on his death, or his retire. ment owing to ill health, about twen- ty-three years ago after serving ov- er forty years, Robert Welsh was appointed and still holds the office.

Wesley -Willis United Church The union services of the three congregations, two United and Pres- byterian, were continued in Wesley - Willis church on Sunday, when the new minister of the church, Rev. C. W. DeWitt Case's, was in charge. In the morning Mr. Cosens exp pressed his pleasure in welcoming the three congregations to the ohureh and the hope that the services would continue to be helpful. He said he was beginning to feel much at home, as people had been very kind, and was pleased to see many .faces he knew in the congregation. There was a good congregation in the morning, not so good in the• even- ing, but the day was extremely hot. The choir, under the direction of the leader and organist, Mrs. Morgan Agnew, rendered pleasing music. Services will be continued in this church next Sunday, the minister's morning subject being: "With Wings." Evening: "The Trifles of Life." St. Paul's Church His Lordship, the Bishop of Hu- ron, conducted confirmation service in this "church Sunday evening, this being the second occasion on which His Lordship has •visited St. Paul's since his elevation. ;It was his third service for the day, he having con- firmed at Seaforth in the morning and at Blyth in the afternoon. The Bishop's theme was "The Realiza- tion of 'God in the Life of the Indi- vidual," andwas based do Genesis 28: 16-17. The address, given .par- ticularly to the confirmation class, had in it much of helpfulness to all the congregation. He stressed the point that God may be present in the heart and life without the indi- vidual .being fully conscious of that presence. He is working in us and with us in ways of which we are not aware: The choir sang appropriate selections. The confirmation class was composed• of Edith Stanbury, Ellen Fremiia, Agnes Johnson, Jack Hawkins, Dick Fremlin, Harold Fremlin, Robert Draper and .Sonny Harris. Tho regular meeting of the Ladies' Guild. will be held in the Parish di'alI on Tuesday afternoon next at three o'dlock. - THE MARKETS THE HOME PAPER. Wheat, 70c. Barley, 40c. . Buckwheat, 40c.

The tables were set in the lawn adjoin- ing the garden, being daintily laid, but scarcely had the company be- come seated when the rain came on. The tables were then n removed to the porch and under a tree, but soon had to be taken into the house, the storm gathering in force. But a jolly thne was spent by the girls, who perhaps enjoyed themselves more than if ev- erything had gone just as planned.

FORMER CITIZENIS CEDDBRA.TE Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Carter, for- mer Clinton citizens, - celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniver- sary in Brantford on Friday July 21st. They were married in Clinton by the Rev., later Canon, Gunne, who at that time was rector of St. Paul's church, Clinton. About sixty relatives and friends were served refreshments.

Mr. and Mrs. Carter received many kind wishes from their friends in Brantford, which they appreciate very much, THE FLOWER SHOW Citizens of Clinton should keep in mind the flower show, sponsored by the Horticultural Society, which will be held on August 18th and 19th. Clinton put on such' a good show last year that it was most encouraging and it is hoped we shall have a good one this, although the dry wea- ther has been hard upon' the gardens. If everyone keeps the show in mind, however, and does his or her best it will be a display worth seeing. One of the things worth remem- bering is that if everyone will show what they have, irrespective of whether it is prize stuff, the dis- play will be a good one. Cultivate what you have and display it so as to fill up the exhibit. Last year's display was a surprise to everyone. Let's do as well this year, if at all possible. UNEMPLOYMENT OVER Col. H.

Combe that last winter Sudbury fed 1100 unentployed, 1700 are now employed and they are advertising for more men, so it looks as if the unemploy- ment problem is over as far as that section is ooncerned. Col. Combe says that the mining town of Sud- bury is a busy place and the huge smokestacks of .the town can be seen for eighteen miles. DEATH OF MRS.

But Saturday it turned very hot a -- gain -gain and Sunday was conceded to be the most' trying day this season Late in the afternoon a windstorm came up, accompanied by a few' drops of rain, and the temperature dropped several degrees.
