IIE�IN'S j " CLINTON'S LEADING STYLE SHOPPE " AIM (SHORT SESSION OF COUNCIL MONDAY NIGHT (Asks Government to• Drop Tax on Sugar -Decides to Give Veterans Deed of Cemetery Lot Granted In 1919. All members were present at the meeting of the Town Council Mon- day evening, Mayor Trewartha in the chair, The grist of business turned out was rather small, few of the com- mittees having anything to report. After the reading of the minutes a eommpnication was read from the clerk of Listowel council, asking the date of the council meeting, as it was. desired that a member or two of that body should visit the council. Clerk Manning said he had notified them of the late the council met but no delegation was present at this meet- ing. Mr. G. Murdoch wrote asking that a drop in the shoulder of the high- way in front of his mill be attended to. Reeve Elliott said it had already been levelled up. A commnnication was read from the council •of Kitchener asking the endorsation of a resolution petition- ing the Dominion Government to dis- continue the tax of 2c per pound on sugar, in order that more people might be able to"procure it for the pre ervation. of the surplus fruit, whh abounds. Councillors 'Holmes and Inkley made a motionapproving this resolution and 'Councillor Hol- mes, in speaking to his motion, ex- pressed the opinion that the Govern- ment might very well find some way, or conserving much of the sur- plus fruit, vegetables, etc,, using sante for relief later on. Much was going to waste, he said, and coul.i be used to •advantage. A •letter was read from the secre- jtary of His Excellency, the, Gover- nor -.General, in answer to one sent by the Mayor, which gave details of the visit to this county in October. Mayor Trewartha explained that a delegation of citizens had waited on the council in committee Friday ev- ening asking what would be done in the way of welcome to the Earl and Countess Bessborough, when a com- mittee, consisting of Reeve Elliott and Councillors Paisley, and Inkley and Col. Combe, Dr. Shaw and Mes- srs. Fines and Jefferson, was ap- pointed to make arrangements, - this committee to meetimmediately af- ter the council meeting. Chairman Livermore reported work done at Turner's on the high- way and said that a few other little jobs needed attention.. His idea was that in street work a stitch in time saves a lot of " money. Councillor Inkley agreed and suggested that it would be a great advantage to have some repairs attended to this fall. Chairman Inkley ' of the cemetery committee reported conditions at the cemeteryin satisfactory state. He also read a -motion of council passed in Decembier, , 1919, by, Reeve Ford and Councillor Paisley, dedicating a park lot in the cemetery for the use of veterans. " Councillor Inkley had copied this motion from the council report in the files of The News -Re, cord, the town records for these years having been burned in a fire in the town hall, In speaking to his motion 1Zeeve Ford had spoken of the regrettable - death of Private Hall, an English lad who had died here and was the first one to be buried in this plot. Councillor Inkley asked that this Iot, East 'half of Park E, some of it having been in the mean. THE 1VIARKETS ' Wheat, 60c to 65c. Barley, 30c to 37c. Oats, 32c. Buckwheat, 42e. Eggs,to 2 14c 4c.

The motion was seconded by Cotncillor Cook and carried un aninously, Regret was -expressed that the deed had not been mase at the time and that, owing to the destrue tion of the records, a part of the to had been disposed of. Councillor Inkley said that the plot !night be sufficient, but that one never knew what was in the future. He said that a part of this lot had been pur chased by the McTaggart family and that Major McTaggart was thus bur fed with the veterans, although oceuping the private family plot. Councillor Cook said it was the in tention of the Veterans to erect a Memorial to the Clinton boys in this plot when it could be undertaken. At the request of the chairman park lots A. and M. were thrown open for sale. When new business was being con sidered Councillor Inkley bxrought up the question of the rest room. He thought the maintenance of this necessary convenience was much too high and at the suggestion of the Mayor, Councillors Inkley and Cook nominated the property committee to meet the Public Utilities Commis sion and see what could be done a- bout it. Chairman Holmes of the property committee expressed him- self willing to meet the commission, Councillor Inkley thought the water, works department might be taken over by the council but Councillor Holmes did not favor this. He thought the council had plenty to do as it is, but felt that the commission ought to work with the council more cordially than has sometimes been the case. Mayor Trewartha reported that the Health Department had written the Commission to get together with the council regarding the water sup. ply and an motion of Councillors Holmes and Paisley the council re- affirmed its stand taken last June that the pump should be given a year's trial. The mayor said the pump had been behaving well for months. The question of holding an elec- tion in November had come up at the meeting of the committee but no action was taken either then or at the council meeting, Councillor Hol- mes was not in favor. .Said his op. inion was that the outgoing council would leave a Iet of unfinished busi- ness which the incoming council would not fully understand. Councillor Walker thought the civic cells should be cleaned and put into proper shape, that they were not fit for occupation. Chairman Holmes said he had given orders that this should be done.

J..Schoenhais, N. Ball, Norman Miller and Geo. Evans. • Play was keen and judging from the way the boys played one would think they had not had a chicken dinner for some time. However, when the smoke cleared away the following were winners: F. Bowden, Cap. Cook, M. h Counter-, Geo. Tur- ner, Ken. Pickett, A. M. Knight, R. Tasker and Gordon Lawson. The mystery prize, which was a chicken, was won by Skip John Zapfe ex -president of the club. It is rumored that the season may close with a battle between the north and south mentt;ers.

TO WELCOME -GOVERNOR The committee appointed by the town council to arrange for the re- ception to Ilis Excellency, Earl Bessborough, and Lady Bessborough, when they arrive here on Wanes, day evening, Oct. 18th, met in the council chamber on Monday evening. Dr. Shaw was appointed chairman of the committee and it was decided to have the pupils from both the Public school and Collegiate, the veterans, Boy Scouts, local member's of the Militia, and Board of Trade out on this occasion.

It is the wish of His Excellency that any demonstration should be very simple and informal, but the town officials and citizens generally feel that some gesture of welcome and good will should be made to the representative of His Majesty. The royal train will rest at Clin- ton for the night, going on to Gode- rich for an hour or so the following morning, then corning back through an its way to Sarnia. All the veterans in Clinton and vicinity are asked to cone in at four o'clock on the 18th, so that ar- rangements may be made for form- ing the procession in proper order.

Jackson was driving across a lev- el crossing when a train came along, backing across the road, The coupe which Jackson was driving was struck • by the train, car- ried along for 60 feet then drop- ped, a pile of twisted wreckage be- side the track.

Immediately following the sere, mony the newly -wedded pair left by motor on a short honeymoon trip, Since their return they have taken up residence in one of the apart- ments in the Normandie. Their friends wish them many years of happiness and prosperity. A CURIOUS TREE Mr. II. E. Rorke has a peculiar tree growing an his property facing Orange street, the peculiarity being that while most trees shed their leaves in the autumn this one not only sheds its leaves ' but also its branches, leaving the trunk standing straight and bare of limbs. The tree is still not very tall, but it has grown eighteen of twenty in- ches during the past summer, send- ing out healthy looking limbs with large green leaves at intervals of a few inches up the stalk. It grew and flourished all summer but all but one limb is now gone, having dropped off one by one. In the spring it seemed to branch out from the place it had left off the autumn before, and if it does that each year and keeps on going up, it may grow quite a height. It is certainly a freak in the tree family and ought to be worth watching. Mr. Rorke says the name he got for it was the "dev- il tree," though it seems a bad name for so innocent looking a stripling, W. I. MET THURSDAY The regular meeting of the Wo- men's Institute was held in the Fire- men's Hall Thursday, the president Mrs. T. H. Cook, in charge. Mrs. Edmeston and 'Mrs, R. H. Johnson were appointed to the sun, shine committee. It was decided to• send a delegate to the area conven- tion at Kincardine Oct. 17-18, Miss Doris Miller, secretary,' being chos- en. A feature of the meeting was a demonstration by Mrs. W. S. R. Holmes and Mrs. J. L. Heard of mak- ng over worn garments from old, children's socks and stocking fromgroutgrowup stockings and such like practical ideas. Miss M. A. Stone was the guest speaker and interested her audience with the story of the Dorcas So- ciety. Her talk was centred around being neighbourly. .Miss Stone was heard on this occasion with keen at- ention and was the recipient of a hearty vote of thanks. A social hour was spent, refresh, ments being served by Mrs. J. Wat- sins and her group. A .LITTLE SURPRISE A very enjoyable evening was spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs, James Vincent on Wednesday evert Mg of. last week, when.a number of friends gathered for a surprise party. it being the eighth anniversary of their marriage. The evening was spent in games after which the guests served refreshments and presented Mr. and Mrs. Vincent with a beautiful linen .lunch cloth in hon- or of the occasion. FLOWERS HAVE FADED The glory has departed from the Inkley garden just across from the The News -Record office, bout for a time it was gorgeous. The glads, hundreds of them, in brilliant colors, zinnias, some of which are still blooming gaily, petunias, portalacka; salvia, etc., vieing with each other as to brilliance and profusion of bloom. In the background are tall sunflowers, one of which must be fourteen feet high and another had over one hundred and ten blooms. It has beet a great plot and was cer- tainly an improvement from the old days when it ran to weeds. WELL ATTENDED SUPPER At the anniversary supper served by Ontario Street church on Tuesday evening five hundred people were served, the supper being all that could be asked for. After the supper one hundred colored slides on points of interest in Canada were shown, Thos. Rutherford reading the lecture and Frank Heard operating the lan- tern, This was followed by it piano and organ duet by Mrs. Wenciorf and Miss Elva Wiltse, solos by Mr. Ilugh Colver; readings by Mrs, Geo. Fal- coner and Miss EIvora McInnis, and coronet duets by George Elliott and Cecil IIolmes, a very pleasing and en- tertaining program. Rev. F. G. Far - rill was chairman. A SISTER PASSES Mrs. J. 5. Evans received word on Tuesday of the death, which oc, curred at her home in Boston, of her sister, Mrs. A. J. Woodman. Mrs. Woodman, who was a daugh- ter of the late Rev. W. A. Newcombe visited her father and sister here on several occasions and will be remem- bered by many here. She was of a bright and animated nature and made friends wherever she went. Al- though in failing health for some time her death carne suddenly, heart trouble being the cause. She had written to Mrs. Evans only last week. _ Mrs. Woodman is survived by her husband, three sons and one daugh- ter, one son having predeceased her. The funeral takes place in Boston, BUSINESS CHANGES HERE Rumors of half a dozen business places being sold have been going the rounds in Clinton the last week, most of which were groundless. But Mr. V. L. Barnes, cleaner, has dis- posed of his business to Mr. Howard Clark and intends returning to Jam- aica in the course of a few weeks. Mr. Eames has Veen in Clinton for the past couple of years and has made a number of friends during his sojourn. Mr, Eames' brother died recently at Kingston, Jamaica, and there are some matters of business to settle up which requires his presence, so it is his intention to take his family with him as it is uncertain when he will return to Canada. Mr. Clark's friends wish him suc- cess in his venture.
