RUNNING AGAIN The Clinton Knitting Company re- sumed operations this week after be- ing closed for a few weeks. The Com - pally always takes stook during the week between Christmas and New Year's but this year some replace- ment of equipment was found nec- essary and an unexpected delay was met in getting the new equipment and getting it installed. This ac- counted for the long holiday, which was irksome alike to employees and employers, as many orders were held up which should have been filled. PIANO CO. REORGANIZED The reorganization of The Sher- lock -Manning Piano and Organ Com- pany and of Doherty Pianos, Limited, has been effected, whereby Mr. Man- ning anning has purchased the interest of Mr. Sherlock, who is retiring' from the firm. Mr. Manning has sold the London factory to the Sparton Rad- io Co., and the piano business, which will be continued under the name of Sherlock -Manning Pianos, Ltd., will be centralized in the Clinton factory, where all their different styles of pianos will, in future be manufactur- ed. This move should result in great.. er activity at the local factory and prove advantageous to our town. H. AND S. CLUB MEETS The many who attended the •1 oine and School Association meeting on Tuesday evening in the Public school were delighted with the excellent program presented.

After informing her audience about the history, geo- graphy, climate,, religion,, 'people, government and social life of the people, she showed so many slides of the interesting places on the 'Is- land, that it made many in the aud- ience wish they could visit it. ,Besides these two addresses two very difficult compositions "Scented Memeries," and "interrupted Rever- ie," were beautifully rendered by Mrs. Wandorf and a duet entitled "Candle Lights are GIeaming," was sung, by Ma's. Hearn and Mks. Chow - en in their usual pleasing. manner. AMONG THE CHURCI•tES Ontario Street United Church Sunday morning subject: "Might- iest of the Mighty."
