A WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
A very enjoyable time was spent
by a few friends at . the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Her-
bert Castle last Thursday evening, it
being the thirty-fifth anniversary of
their -wedding. Before leaving, their
daughter, Mrs. Vincent, presented
them with a magazine rack from
those present. Mr. and Mrs. Castle
were very much surprised but Mr.
Castle made a suitable reply, and al'
joined in wishing them many more
happy years together.

Mrs. H. W. Cook and Mrs. B. Cole
received word of an accident to their
sister, Miss Mitchell of Detroit, who
was knocked down by a truck as she
alighted from a bus in that city one
day last -week. The lady was badly
injured, her ankle, collar bone and
pelvis bone being fractured, besides
other bruises. She is in hospital.
Miss Mitchell spent several months
last year with Mrs. Cole and became
known to many here, who will sym-
pathize -with her in the misfortune
which has overtaken her.

until less than a dozen years ago.

minister there, his early ministry be,

here, the last one being that of Wes-
ley church, where he was minister at
the time of union, and he retired
when the Willis and Wesley congre-
gations united.
Mr. Holmes and his charming wife

residence in Clinton. Mr. Holmes is

THE COMMENCEMENT
Two crowded houses greeted the
commencement program put on in
the Clinton Collegiate"auditorium on
Thursday and Friday evenings of
last week. And, judging from the
attention given and the applause
meted out, the program was highly
pleasing to the majority present.
The opening number or numbers
were some Christmas carols, sung
by a chorus of lower school students,
with a mixed quartette of seniors,
dressed to represent the old time
carol singers. These carol% were
much enjoyed.
The boys' gymnastic stunts were,
as always, highly applauded and
included some great feats, cleverly
done.
Two plays were presented, the
first, "Educatin' Mary," a one -stet
playlet representing the value of
scholastic training, was put on by
Misses Elnors. Mathes, Jessie Cam-
eron, Louise McLeod and Virginia
Harris and Messrs. Kenneth Dougan,
jack Perdue, Edward Elliott and
Earl Reynolds.
The second play was a little more
elaborate, centering around an inher-
ited fortune, a -returning lost son and
a crook who -was trying to cash in on
another man's fortune. The charac-
ters were taken by Misses Clara
Bali, Isabel Hohnes, Sadie Elliott
and Marion West and Messrs. James
MeCrae, Harry Williams, Fergus
Kelly, Melbourne Ball and Benson
Sutter.
All the youthful actors did their
parts well,
The Highland Fling, danced by a
number of junior girls, was enthus-
iastically encored.
A. Rainbow Drill, with colored flash
lights was very pretty and well exe-
cuted, also being encored.
A Latin song sung by ' a double
male quartette of senior boys was
well carried through.
An orchestra, led by Mr. J'. C.
Cooper of the staff, furnished sev-
eral pleasing numbers during the
evening.
On Thursday evening the athletic
prizes were presented by Rev. C. W
DeWitt Cosens. On Friday evening
Rev. N. M. Sullivan presented the
graduation diplomas and special

week and number of articles stol-

ily, it seems, -were all out at the.
time but the house had only been -
empty about fifteen minutes or so.
The front and rear doors had both
been left open, so as to give the thief
a chance to escape in a hurry if ne-
cessary. The thief must have work-
ed fast as he gathered up three wat-
ches, a gold pencil, several rings,
broaches, etc., and several goldpleces,
pieces, the idea being, evidently to
get as much gold as possible.
The thief was caught the follow-
ing morning and a few of the artic-
les returned, a pencil belonging to
Bob, which was engraved with his
name, serving to identify them. But
it was thought Etas the thief, a
young man with a bad record, was
working with a gang and had passed
over most of the stuff at once, and
it has not been recovered.
