Gardiner, Londesboro, on Saturday, August 29th, at the home of Mt. and Mrs, William Snell, Hallett, when their daughter, Norma Jane, was united in marriage to Mr, Frederick James Boyce, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Boyce of Brucefield. At high noon, the ceremony was conducted under an arch of autumn flowers, gladioli and zinnias, banked with golden glow. The bride entered to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march played by her sister, - Miss Elva. Ruth. Snell. The bride was charmingly, dressed in white sheet triple crepe, wearing a bandeau . of flowers. She carried a bouquet of golden glow, chrysanthemums and plumose fern. The bridesmaid, Miss .Laura M. Snell,, Stratford, sister of the bride, wore gold_ striped crepe with black accessories. Mr. Leonard Boyce, B. A., of ,Teeswater, brother of the 'bridegroom, acted as best roan. After the signing of the register, the bridal party and the sixteen guests retired to the dining -room where a sumptuous wedding dinner was served by Misses Adelaide Jen- kins and Marian and Elva Ruth Snell, The bride's table tab a was decorat- ed in orange and yellow and centred with the wedding cake, The bridegroom's gift to the brides- maid was'an initialed compact, to the pianist a black purse, and to the best man a belt set. There was present at the wedding, Mr. Giles Jenkins, eightyAfour years of age, grandfather of the, bride, and Mrs. Ellen Armstrong,'' eight -two, grandmother of the groom, Each • spoke in a complimentary. manner of his grandchild.

Wingham Plays Here On Monday Morning In a beautifully played 'ball game, the Clinton Colts last 'Thursday night, won the group championship by defeating Zurich on the home dia- mond by the score' of 6-2. A nice crowd was in attendance and weath- er condition were perfect. Both teams were on their toes for the start of the game. Hovey was assigned the pitching duties for Clinton and Heideman for Zurich, and both pitch- ed the entire game. Hovey allowed 8 hits and Heideman 9, but four of Clinton's nine hits were three -bag- gers which came with men on bases, and accounted for most of Clinton's runs. Both teams played air -tight ball in the field having only one er- or apiece, but the Colts were without question the best teats on the night's play. Besides pitching a nice game, Ho- vey connected for two 3 -baggers while at bat. A good batting pitcher certainly helps a ball team. -McDon- ald and Hawkins also connected for a three base bit apiece. "Riley" Johnston at short-stop "almost stole the show with his brilliant work in the field, and all told the whole team played well. The outfield of Wagg, Glew and Holmes have been improv- ing with every game, and the way they looked after fly balls last night hacl everybody talking, even the Zur- ich coach, Neither teams scored in the first, but some nice fielding plays in the second saved some Zurich runs. Ho- vey walked the first man, Yungblutt, then Block was safe when Hawkins, tossed his grounder• bad to Pickett for the only Clinton at home when Young- blutt was cut off Johnston picked up Sehilbe's roller and pegged the ball to McEwan at the plate; McDonald did the same thing with Block when Prang ground- ed to him, then Heideman flied out to end a dangerous inning for Clin- ton. Zurich, however, took the lead in the third, when a single and a stol- en base by Oesch, and a bit by O'Brien, scored the first run. Clin- ton forged ahead in thefourth and from then on' steadily pulled away, Holmes singled and McDonald sent hits home with the tieing run when he drove out a 3 -bagger; McDonald. scored later when Wagg sacrificed. In the fourth Hovey polled out a three -bagger and scored when Pic- kett grounded out to first. Inetden- tally in the third Hovey connected for 3 bases, but was left stranded when Pickett struck out. In the sixth McDonald walked and Hawkins drove him home with a three base knock, the fourth the Colts had made in 6 innings. Hawkins scored Clinton's fifth run when McEwan grounded out at first. With two out Bill GleW singled and stole second and third only to have Johnston strike out, Glew is playing fine baseball. The Colts scored their last run in the eighth. McDonald walked, took se- cond when McEwan was safe on an error and Bill Glew drove him home with a nice single: All this time Zurich was drawing goose -eggs, but in the ninth they put one- run across when Youngblutt singled and scored on O'Brien's sin- gle, The final score was 6 -2. - It was a real game to watch. With a team like Zurich the Colts were neyer far enough ahead to feel too safe, but nice pitching and splendid support won out. Although Hovey was not striking men out, he had them batting the ball within reach of the 'fielders. Heideman had 8 strikeouts.

The best wishes of a host of Mends go with them to their new hone in 'Harriston. Will They Mature? A rather odd thing was noted last week. On a tree bearing large, red apples, in Mrs. T. J. Watt's garden, there appeared also three bunches of blossoms. It was rather strange to see the blossoms, then raise one's eyes and see the ripe fruit, We shall see, if it is an -open fall, how far the new fruit goes toward perfect de- velopment. • Appointed To New Parish Rt. Rev. Charles A. Seager, bishop of Huron, has announced the appoint- ment of Rev. John R. Thompson, of Durham, to be rector of St. Paul's Anglican Church, at Point Edward and its affiliated parishes.

An Awkward Procedure Complaint is, made that the . as- sessment and tax departments of municipalities, under. the new pro- vincial income • tax legislation, have brought about a cumbersome method of collecting business taxes. According to the statutes the as- sessor must make a business assess- ment as usual and the business tax must be'billed and Paid. Hon ever , i the business gets a refund from the municipality at a later date and then the municipality gets a rebate from the government. Tuesday's Extravaganza A Great Success Although the afternoon was some- what threatening on Tuesday, the weather cleared off nicely for the band concert and street dance, which was sponsored by the Clinton Con- cert Band and the local branch of the Lions Club. The open air band concert was put on by the local band and the Sea - forth Highlanders, and it was ,much enjoyed by a large crowd. The street from the postoffice to the Huron street corner had been closed' to traffic and the dancing floor and band seats were arranged at the point in front of the postof- fice. The street at each side was us- ed for the several contests, etc., which lured those who wished to try their skill or their luck in various ways. There were one hundred prizes give nfor the several contests. The Otto Henderson orchestra of Stratford furnished music for the dancing, which was kept up untila late hour. The organizations concerned took in a good deal of money, though until a check-up is made they are not sure how much. They are grateful for such splendid support.

A jolly time was spent by the young ladies and refreshments were served before they separated. Oldest Woman l Former Neighbour The aged woman who died at Bel- mont, Man., this week, Miss Angel- ique Gooslaw, who is claimed to have been one hundred and eleven years old, was well known to Mr. R. J. Fisher of town, who lived on the next farm for twenty years. She was a halfbreed, there being a number of them in the section, and they ,spoke the Gres language almost altogether, Mr. Fisher knew them well and had Learned to understand their language fairly well from his long association with them. They were excellent neighbors, he says. A Still Older Coin Last week we mentioned a penny which had been dug up in the garden of Mr. T. Carter, dated 1854. On Sat- urday Mrs. David Steep showed us a penny which her husband had found when the pavement through town was being put down several years ago. It is elated 1842; twelve years earlier than the one mentioned last Week. It is a "Province of Canada Bank Token Bank of Montreal penny," having a Crest on one side and a picture of the Bank, presumably, on the other. It is an old coin and Mr. Steep values it as such. Well the locals -received instruc- tions from the O.B.A.A. to play a- gainst Wingham in the first of the play -downs, so on Saturday after- noon they journey north to take on the Indians. The on Monday morn- ing at 10 a.tn., Wingham comes here for the second game. If a third game is required it will likely be played Wednesday. These two teams met last year when they played in the same, group, and it will be re- membered the tussle they had in the group play-offs, with Clinton finally emerging victorious. Both clubs are practically the. sane as last year, so another great series is in store for the local' supporters. Monday morn- ing should be the ideal time for such a game, the day being a holiday, and there should be no excuse for not being on deck to cheer the boys a step nearer the .championship • . . r _ Claims Five Hundred Dol- lars From Estate Of Aunt In Surrogate Court yesterday in Goderich Judge Costello presiding, Miss Sadie McCool, Ottawa, was granted a declaration that a $500 Dominion of Canada bond, part of the estate of her aunt, the late Sarah J. McCool, of Clinton, was her pro- perty.' • Miss McCool related that her aunt, in her declining years, had sought advice on investing $2,000. The niece referred her to a Toronto bond house and bonds for that amount were pur- chased. Half, or $1,000 in bonds of St. Maurice Pulp & Paper, proved a poor investment. Her aunt was' an- noyed at her, she said, and to appease her she gave deceased a $1,000 Do- minion of Canada bondred to use as ne- gotiable r -gotiable funds if needed. The aunt, she said, used $500, but in her will bequeathed the remainder to three nephews and another niece in Western Canada. The claimant said she was willing to forego claim for the $500 her aunt had used, Miss McCool died in Clin- ton last fall Among the Churches St. Paul's Church Rev. K.

Cook, Victoria street, esteemed residents of Clinton, celebrated their Golden wedding an- niversary Tuesday. Owing to the fact that Mrs. Cook is in Tither delicate health the cele- bration -was a very quiet one, con- sisting of an afternoon tea, when many friends and neighbors took the opportunity of calling to extend con- gratulations and good wishes, many sending flowers or gifts. Mrs, W. McClinchey poured tea at a table in the dining room daintily laid and decorated with yellow flow - eel's, a large yellow and white bell being suspended over the centre. Mrs. E. Ward, a niece of Mr. Cook, served the guests. Mi. George Cook, who is e native of Clinton, having been born seventy- five years ago in the house now occu- pied by Mrs. M. Stewart, on the same street, was united in marriage to Janet McDonald, at the home of her sister, Mrs, Gilbert Thompson, the Lake Shore Road, on Sept. lst, 1886, the ceremony being conducted by the Rev, W. Torrance of Hensali. The young couple took up housekeep- ing in Clinton and have lived here ever since. They have occupied the residence which is still their home for the past thirty-five years. For the past year or so Mrs. Cook has not enjoyed the best of health and she has to be careful of Herself. Had her health been better a more elaborate celebration might have been arranged. Mr. Cook expects some members of his family over next week -end some more later on, but Mrs. Cook has but one brother, Mr. Harry- Houlden of Medicine Hat, Al- ta., and he was unable to come for this event.
