When the Present Century - Was Young THE CLINTON NEWS RECORD OCTOBER 1, 1903 The C.P.R. surveyors have bean for the peat week running their lines over the northern route of the pro- posed extension which will cross the Maitland just south of Auburn. Tho good people of that pretty village are much concerned about the natter and well they may be for Auburn will become a place of no inconsiderable importance if the northern route is selected. Mr. S. S. Cooper has bought the Clarendon site and says he will build an hotel forthwith, indeed he has named an early date for its ample. tion. It is understood that he has a standing offer for rental, It has been reported that the Dinsley corner will probably change hands for the sante purpose. but it is scarcely likely that two new hotels will be built in the near future. Messrs Russell Manning and Alex Armstrong appeared before the town council at Monday night's meeting as representatives of Wesley Church and asked that a crossing be laid opposite the church on Victoria street. Mr. Manning put the case very plausibly backing his arguments with figures which went to show that Wesley church would not alone be convenien- eed by the proposed crossing. And then, added Mr. Manning, north enii church goers need no longer• be Offen= ded by livery stable odors as they wend their way to divine worship. Mayor Jackson thought that when the new walks were -completed Wee - ley church would be well served. He did not favor the crossings, Most of the council members were opposed to the building of the crossings as there was neither time nor cement and the street appropriation is exhaust- ed. 'There is no more funds to go ahead with any more work than was mapped out some time ago. Mr. R. Graham is branching out having added a stock of boots and shoes,: so that he is now in a position to supply the wants of his patrons in that capacity as well as in the groc- eries.

The blushing bride was none other than (Arthur Graves) who walked grace- fully in on the arm of her fats'sr. (Mrs. Percy Gibbings). The bride was most charming in white silk crepe and long lace train and carried a stock of cabbage and sunflowers.

A number of years ago he left On- tario for the west, and after assist. ing his brother, Walter, farming four miles east of Taber, Sillib engaged in farming himself in the Orion district, Prospering there he returned to On- tario to marry his sweetheart, and they live at Goderich, Ont. In Huron County is also Soaforth home of Premier Aberhart's mother. Three years ago the recent groom was passing a Seaforth hotel, when a number of cars drew up, in one of which sat Mr. Aberhart and another man, presumably the driver, Stepping forward, the Taber -Orion ntan slapped the late premier on the shoulder genially and said: "How are you, sir?
