A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, On Monday morning, Mr. James Brown, a Clinton resident but now working with the C.N R at 'Wood- stock, was injured when'the "jitney" ran over his body. The crow bar on the jitney jiggled off and one end caught in the ties, the other end, fly up, caught Mr. Brown and t]ireiv him onto the track. The jitney :passed over the upper gait of his body, in- flicting severe head and (body wounds. He did not regain consciousness until Tuesday afternoon and since then has been in such severe pain that the doctors have found it impossible to give hien a thorough examination. The left side is totally paralyzed and one eye badly hurt: .He was taken to the.Wioodstock General Hospital and word was immediately sent to Mrs. Brown. She has the symtpat'4Y ofeveryone and our wishes for her husband's speedy recovery are ex- tended her. DEATH OF MISS H. SMITH. We learned with sincere regret of the death last Tuesday of Miss Han- nah Smith, a well-known and greatly esteemed citizen of Clinton. Miss Smith was born here and had lived here all her life with the excep- tion' of a few years spent in Strat- ford. Since the death of her mother, three years ago, she and her sister, Miss Nellie Smith, have lived alone. She was a valued member of Ontario Street Church, one of their most zeal- ous workers — truly, sacrifice and service were the essential notes of Miss Smith's life and ' she will be missed terribly in her circle of rela. tives and friends.

There was some excitement caused in Goderich at the beginning of the' week when an American tourist ar- rived therewith, three American flags flying on the front of his ear and tied to the spare tire at the back and al- most dragging •on the •.ground -tea Union Jack. The Chief '. of Police asked him to either put. the Union Jolt ;up with the others or:';take them At first the man refused to touch the flags, then he took the American flags down and put them in the ear, Then he untied the Union` ,Tack and threw it •en the ground. That pretty nearly finished him with some of the people who were gathered around but, when Chief Poslethwaite threatened jail, he picked the Sack up, and put it in the car. He was alflowed to go-- and o-and it is to be hoped for the sake of this part of the eountry that he went far, far away. GAL'S TROUBADOURS. The fdneral service was private and Rev.

We are told, however, by eur City Reporter, that we are devoid of humour, and -did not report the. really tunny incident in cam action with their perambulations on that memorable Old Boys' evening. The Troubadours . were being driven (around ina palatial car. This car stopped apposite a stand where hot ,dogs and drinksof an,innocuoutt na- ture were being' dispensed. After some conversation had ensued, var- ious suggestions had been made pro and coat, the doors opened and the whole band of Troubadours walked with all the dignity they could as- sume, under the circumstances, up to the stand; and in a few moments. Harry Bartlif set down foaming tumblers of Coca "Cola! A snapshot of that group •gulping down Coca Cola would have easily sold for five dollars. 'The expression of admira- tion for that stimulating fluid was simply beyond description. It had to be seen. Miss Smith is survived by her sis- ters, Miss Nellie Smith of Clinton and, Mrs. Murch of Leamington. /IRS. HIJMPHREY'S RECITAL, A musical treat, such as we seldom receive, was enjoyed by many Tues- day night, when Mrs. Howard Hum- phreys gave a benefit recital in aid of the Hospital. Mrs. Hilntphreys' early musical training was received on the Continent and 'her career throughout Tars 'been.a tail!liant one. Her voice is a mezzo•scprano of remarkable power and range' and her %control is lmrnexeelled. She has been soloist for the 74th Regimental Band of Buffalo and far years sang with Walter Dam - roach of the New Yor)d Symphony Y 'Orchestra. Living in Jacksonville, Florida, she is pre-eminent in the musical life of that, city. For her recital on Tuesday the stage was decorated with golden rod, golden glow and green 'ferns, and these, along with the brown .wicker Ittrniture, made a very pretty setting. 14Irs, Humphreys wore a black satin gown and carried an orange fait. During the. evening she received some beautiful flowers. - Mrs. Iiumphreys first number was a group t of three, "Laugh, and the world laughs with you." "A Hundad Years, from now," and "The Singer." Mrs. Humphreys was • assisted by Miss Ella Rutledge, who gave two Tian Miss excellent readings'' and Ma Cgibbings, who sang a group of three songs very beautifully—just as Mar- ian always does sing. ' The second group chosen by Mrs. Humphreys began with "Love is King' from the "Queen of the Moulin Rouge."' In this number, she had full' scope for her remarkable powers as ti vocalist. It is a veritable maces - glens of runs and trills and all the technique that makes singing such a difficult art and such a triumph when it is mastered as Mrs. Humphreys has mastered it. „',The Gift" and `.For, ;he Loved her" completed this group. 'Far an encore she sang "The Three Beggars." LITTLE LOCALS. People -Yon Know ' Miss Dorothy Rattenbury returned to Peterboro on Tuesday. Mr. Geo. McTaggart, jr., is spending his vacation at home.
