Mr. McMurray has been put- ting the new property he recently purchased in Ontario street, into shape for renting, and is giving it a thorough overhauling. On going up to Harriston recently he had an interesting experience near Fordwieh, when a family of three deer came out of a wood near the road and seemed to want to get a good lank at the travellers. One of the fawns was startled on the ap- proach of the car and ran into the wood but later the doe and the two fawns leaped a fence to come nearer and exhibited some curiosity concern- ing the queer animal which could get over the ground without legs. Deer seem to be growing inore plentiful in all this district.

But, while Mary's lamb, according to the old story, only went to school once, Clinton has a crow which cannot be scorned from regular atten- ance. In fact, it has to be shut up keep it home. This crow, "Jim" by naive, belongs o Roy Leppington and on several ays, in spite of efforts of the chii- ren to get away without him, has ollowed them to school. He usually erches up hi a tree near the school until the children are ready to come home, but one day he slipped in an pen window and sat on the sill, no onbt taking in ail that was going on, ntil ejected. Poor Jim min- es his little human playmates since hey started to school after the long elidays and likes to be near them, wen though stupid human regula, ions glut him out of the school oom. UILDING IS LANDMARK Mr. J. J. McCaughey, who is the resent owner, has had the old frame wilding behind Mr, H. C. Camer- n's wood working shop pulled down nd is building a smaller, neater wilding at the rear of the lot, which will be used for a store house. The removal of the old building will give the Camerons more garden oom, as they reside in the house shop,p n the old build- djoiningthe a d ng was something of a fire trap, nyway, as it was little used and of in good repair. The building was erected about fifty years ago by the late Wm. AI- xander and has been used mostly or a blacksmith shop, Mr. J. Ted- rdoprobably being the first one. Later it was occupied by others, a- mong the Last, Chas.,Heilyar, and of scent years by R. J. Fisher, but of ate he has been using the rear of he brick building. The brick building was erected many , years ago by the late Mr. Mountcastle and was originally a hree-store building. hat y d ng. T was when Huron street was Clinton's main reet and it was supposed that that rner might be the centre of the own, It was thought at one time hat the station might be located omewhere near there. Later when Mr. John Leslie dis- oIved partnership with Mr. Rumball nd decided to start business for him, elf he •purchased the building, took. own one storey and fitted the build- it up for a carriage shop with a welling at the west side and °con red it as long as he lived.

AMONG THE CHURCHES St. Paul's Church The Ladies' Guild will meet in the Parish Hall on Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 26th. The touch and take com- mittee in connection with the baz- aar will have a shower and tea the same afternoon. Wesley-Wilils United Church Sunday will be observed as Rally Day in this church. The minister, Rev. C. W. D. Cosens, has chosen an appropriate subject for his morning, sermon, which will be: 'Slaving a Mind to Work," Evening subject: "Man's Need of a Master." The Sunday school at 2.30 will be the regular rally service when a special program will be put on and it is hoped all members and friends of the school will be present. Presbyterian Church Sunday was anniversary dayin Y Y this church, when good congregations gathered at both services. The spe- cial preacher of the day was the Rev. Wardlaw Taylor, Goderich, clerk of the General Assembly of the Pres',yterian •Church, who preached impressive sermons. In the morn- ing his subject was the majesty and glory of God, his text being: "Thine, oh Lord, is the greatness, and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty," being found in lst Chron. 29:11. In the evening he spoke on the surenes of the foun- dation of Jesus Christ, from the text found in 2nd Tim. 2`19, The foundation of the Lord standeth sure." His subjects were well hand, led\ and he was listened to with ih: terest. The choir, with Mrs. J. C. Cooper at the organ, rendered spe- cial music during the day. The Rev. Dr. Dougan, minister of the church was in charge of the services.

LEGION OUT FOR B•A11L0•TS The Legion has again taken up the Buckingham cigarette coupon con- test and the boxes are already placed throughout the town wherever they are on sale. Clinton won fifth place last year and got a number of Christ- tnaf, gifts for childrdn. A change has been made this year by which any organization sending in 10,000 ballots will get a certain mmnber of prizes. The Legion hopes that their friends will remember them and as- sist them in getting some Christmas gifts for needy children. MUST MAKE TAX RETURNS During the past few years many people have not been making smfi- cient income to be obliged to pay much tax upon it but this does not free them from the obligation of making out income tax returns and forwarding them to the proper offi- cial. A citizen was up in the local court the other day, summoned by the department having this natter in hand, and fined 825 and cots for failure to make returns. It may be 'a bother making out income tax re- turns but it would be much easier than paying out twenty-five or thir, ty dollars in cold cash, THIEVES NOT YET CAUGHT So far the chicken thieves who made such good hauls a little over a week ago have not been caught but the police are said to be working on a clue and it is hoped something will come of it. Tho theory held by many is that the thieves are front a distance, men who have been coming up through the country buying poultry, who have thus become familiar with the coun- try and know where the good flocks are. Poultry breeders give encour- agement to these transient traders, in some cases, perhaps, just because they are insistent, by selling to them, even while they know that they might do as well by selling to local dealers whom they know and can trust. Anyway, the men who stole these chickens the other night came well prepared, knew just where to go and how to get their booty without arousing opposition.. They were planned robberies and it is to be hoped the guilty parties will be brought to book. LITTLE LOCALS The, :L.O.B.A. will meet on Tues. day evening, Sept. 26th.
