IR 'S II" CLINTON'S LEADING STYLE SHOPPE " II ALLIN--McCRACKEN The account of the following wed- ding, which was clipped from the London Free Press, refers to Mr. Roy Allin, a popular member of the Clin- ton Collegiate staff of two years ago: "The marriage of Isabel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. R, S. McCracken of North London, to Roy Herman Al- ain, son of Mr. and Mrs. P. R. Allin, Colborne street, was quietly solem- nized on Saturday afternoon at the home of the bride's parents. Both bride and groom are members of the Honor Society of the University of Western Ontario. Rev. T. L. Fowler, D.D., of St. Thomas, who officiated at the marriage of the bride's par- ents, performed the ceremony. Miss Ethel McCracken, the bride's cousin, played the wedding march. The bride, escorted by her father, and unattend- ed, was gowned in white leo over ivory satin, designed on long, mould, ed lines with a train of lace and satin. Her veil, a family heirloom, was of white tulle and she carried a shower of roses. Luncheon and an informal reception followed and Mr. and Mrs. Roy Herman Ailin left on a motor trip, the bride going away in a blue and sand crepe suit with blue hat and gunmetal shoes. They will reside on Elmwood avenue on :their return." PASSING OF MRS. A. E. TURNER tt,(Brief mention was made at the /hem of the death of Mrs. A. E. Turner, who passed away on July 27th, at Consul, Sask. Rebecca Townsend, wife of Albert Turner, who was in .her sixty-seventh year, was an ' esteemed resident of of Clinton for many years. She was born in Tuckersmith, be- ing the second daughter of the late Joseph and Elizabeth Townsend. In 1890 she was married to Albert Tur- ner. They lived for ten years in Tuckersmith during which time she was a member of Turner's church, They moved to Clinton in the fall of 1899. While here she was a member of the old Rattenbury Street, and Wesley church. She made many friends during her residence in Clin- ton. In 1914 Mr. and Mrs, Turner and family moved to Consul, Sask., where she resided the remainder of her life, She had made a gallant fight, dur- ing her lifetime against illness, but was always very patient and eheer- ful. About three years ago she took a paralytic stroke, from which she made a fair recovery and for two years was able to attend to her household duties. A year ago her condition became worse, and she spent six weeks in the hospital at Maple Creek, Sask. While she received some beneift she has been an invalid for the past year and although confined to bed was cheerful and maintained her interest• in life. Everything that was pos- sible was done, but she gradually weakened, and the end came when she no longer, had strength to go on. Her daughter, 'Edna, and her hus- band, were in •constant attendance during the last two months of her illness. She is survived by her husband; one daughter, Edna, of Toronto; three sons, Carman and George of Consul, Saske Cecil oe Grande Prair- ie, Peace River, Alberta, and one grandchild, Edward, 'eon of Mr, and Mrs. Carman Turner, also one sister, Mrs. Fanny Jahns of Tuckersmith.

HOUSE •STRUCK During a severe rain storm on Saturday night, a bolt of lightning struck a gable on the C.N.R. station at Exeter, splintering the roof slightly. Another bolt struck the chimney on Mr. E. Harness' house. The bolt followed down the line of pipes to the furnace, strewing pipes and soot over the rooms, tearing electric fixtures out of their places, blowing open the furnace doors and doing minor damages. Luckily no fire started. Mr. and Mrs. Harness will be remembered as former resi- dents of Clinton. EVERYBODY LIABLE A recent writer in the Globe calls the attention of organizations tempt- ed to make money by organizing a car lottery to a ease which appeared in the Guelph Police Court on the morning of July 18th, he says: On that date, according to the Guelph Mercury, Allan Osborne of Bowman- vilie appeared before Magistrate Hillyer, charged with having sold tickets on a car. The accused plead- ed guilty, and was fined $25 and costs. The tickets in his possession were seized, and the car was ordered taken out of the County of Welling- ton. Both the Magistrate and the Crown Attorney were severe in their censure of these lotteries, and stated that such would not be tollerated in the County of Wellington. The Guelph Chief of Police issued . a warning that in the future he would prosecute every one connected with such a raffle, including the people who bought the tickets, and the printer who printed them. Re pointed out that every one who bought a ticket was liable to a fine of $20, and that the printer, or pub- lisher, was also liable to a heavy penalty. This should settle the ques- tion as to whether these lotteries aro legal or not. Surely law-abiding citi- zens will cease to utilize these ques- tionable- methods in raising money for Charitable purposes. And this applies to churches too. THE WEARWELL PICNIC The annual picnic of the Clinton Knitting Company was held on Sat, urday in Bayfield.

He is making good progress toward recovery but will be obliged to re- main in bed for some time and to an active man that is a hardship. FLOWER SHOW THIS WEEK Friday and Saturday of this week will be Flower Show days. This has been a very poor sum- mer for flowers and many who had good exhibits last year will have lit- tle or nothing worth showing this but the Horticultural Society is de- sirous that all who have flowers bring them along and make as good a display as possible. If the same enthusiasm is shown as was in evi- dence last year there will be a show worth seeing, even if it does not come upto e. Anyone last who has flowers should make as many entries as possible, whether prizes are expected or not, in order that a good display may be made, also to give the ultimate prize winners a run for their money. There is no 'entrance fee and we might as well make a goad display. Many vis- itors fromoutside towns come in for the show so it is a matter ef civic pride with us to do our best. CLINTON LOSES TO SEAFOETH The Wearwell Softball team jour- neyed to Seaforth last Thursday night to 1pay the 'team of that town, return- ing ohms to their knitting; the score 8-6 against them. This was the se- cond game of the play-off series for district -champions in O.A.S.A. Seaforth swept the Clintonites off their feet when five runs were scor- ed in the first innings. Clinton tried their best to recover but the locals. held them down. Clinton scored one in the third and sixth, two in the eighth and two in the ninth. Sea - forth scored five in the first, two in the fourth and one in the sixth. Clinton anticipated an easy victory after winning 17-5 on Tuesday, but Seaforth was determined to win and showed the visitors how to stage a comeback. Tho Seaforth team batted well and thirteen runners were left on bases. Clinton pulled themselves out of a bad hole onseveral occasions, but•the Seaforth players held them to six runs. Buckman and Rennie ware; the bat- tery for Seaforth, while Ross and Pearson paired up for Clinton.

G. Goodman, April 10, 1891." Mr. Leppington says the plank resembles those used in the old plank sidewalk. A boyish trick of carving names has revealed a bit of history. Mr. Good- man will be remembered by many people in town. LITTLE LOCALS The results of Middle School exam- inations in Clinton Collegiate will be found on another page of this issue.
