CLINTON W(INS FROM GODEERICR. Another game in the Huron -Perth Baseball League was played on the local diamond on Monday evening. when Goderieh nine were outbatted by the locals by the close score of 8 -7. It was one of the best ball. games seen here, the teams being, so evenly matched. The score see -sawed with the loc- als one up at the end of the first frame, the visitors tying the count in the .third and going two up in the fourth, and three up in the fifth. The locals broke away for their third counter in their fifth effort, and added three : in the sixth to again take the lead, only to be topped by the Lakesiders in their seventh, when Carrick and 'Carrell : crossed the Plate.. The locals went in to their seventh with a one -run margin against them, but before they were retired had. reversed the standing.. O'Brien and McDonald each completing the circle. Sheardown opened the ,scoring for the visitors and doubled itin the third, Duquette, Phelan and Carrick also scoring. 11fcEwan, Pickett, Haw- kins and Johnson were also in the scoring for the home. team. There was some fine fielding on both sides and very few errors. Ho, vey occupied the mound , for five In- nings, n-nings, when' he was- relieved by Stock.

Johnston, treasurer of the town of 'Nakoma, N. D., when sending in his renewal sub- scription. Looks as though things were pretty bad over in the State of North Dakota: "Prospects in N. Dakota are not good, Little or no rain last fall, very Iittle snow last winter and up to date this spring no rain at all. High wind and dust is all we can boast of. The pasture is bare, the barns are empty and no feed to be had at any price. The `outlook is anything but good. r We hope that these conditions d not exist back in Ontario, for there still a warm spot in our hearts fo the old home land."

Since the warm weather came in ]SAND STAND TO BE PLACED IN PARI Decision Reached at Monday's Council Meeting and a Committee Appointed to See That Suitable Stand A rather short meeting of the co. cil was held on Monday evening, there was little business to come be-• fore it, Discussion . about a band, stand was. the weightiest matter con- sidered. Reeve Elliott and Councillors Cook and Walker were absent. • After the reading of the minutes of the last regular. and two. special meetings,, a communication was read from the Department of Publicn Wlorks re the request from the coo- ei] for -permission to build a band- stand. The letter stated the opinion that the erection of such a building on this point would add nothing to the appearance of the town bhit if the dimensions of the building were sub' mitted attention would be given to it. When the matter came up for dis- cussion Councilors Paisley and Liv- ermore moved that a bandstand be erected in the park, and the discus- sion was on. Councillor Holmes op- posed. Ile contended that the major- ity of the citizens would vote 54 gainat this if given an opportunity; that those who came into town for the concerts would also give their voice against it; that twice it had been tried and the people would not go to hear the concerts. He did not think it fair to settle the matter to- night in the absence of other mem- bers of the council. un- renders it useless. The baseball as diamond has been rolled, In the absence of the, Reeve, who is chairman of the street committee Councillor Paisley reported work done during the month and said most of the appropriation had been spent. Councillor Inkley thought Rattenbury street shouldbe surfaced and Coun- cillor Holmes agreed, in order to pre, serve the road.. Mayor Trewartha said he would consult Reeve Elliott and see what could be done about it, Councillor Inldey ' reported the cemetery in good shape, except for the lack of rain. The superintendent has the work well, in hand, Chairman Livermore for the pro, nerty committee reported. that the town hall roof needed treating, but that no serious outlay was necessary on town property, Chairman Paisley presented the following financial report for the month; Street Account Paysheet . $388.55 S.

GREALIS-- Stock Scales Building Permit Councillor Inldey did not believe the citizens would oppose the park being improved and the concerts be- ing held there. It was unsafe to have such concerts in the public streets. Councillor Livermore said he had helped move the bandstand so often that he hoped it had been settled in the park, He thought by the letter from the Department that it was not favorable to having the stand on the post office point. Councillor Paisey thought the bandstand should be built without de- lay as the time for band concerts was here. Unless a place is prepared for it to play in the bland will not play this sununer. Consideration was also given to the communications from the Legion, and the Business Men's Association, asking that the bandstand be left in the park and when the motion was put it carried. A committee was then appointed, consisting of Mayor Tre- wartha, and Couneil'olrs Paisley, Hol- mes, Inkiey and Reeve Elliott to meet a committee from the band, to con- sider plans, etc., and to submit same to the council. A. W. Groves.wrote regarding the dust on the street in front of his. place of business, especially when there is a ball game in the park, and it was decided that something should be done about it. A couple of tons of calcium chloride has been procured, moat of which has been sold to pri- vate citizens, but more is to be pro- cured and Rattenbury street from the Library to Seeley's shop is to .be treated, As citizens on that street are asking for relief from the dust nusiance, it was thought a couple of tons could easily be disposed of, it being sold at cost. The report of the policecommittee, consisting of Mayor Trewartha, and Councillors Holmes, Livermore and Paisley, was received and adopted and copies are •to he sent to the Chief, night constable and the press. On motion of Councillors ,Holmes and paisley the rolling of the park is to be stopped, as the dry weather such pasture as there was is drying tip badly for lack of rain; the hay crop is threatened and farmers fear a shortage of feed for next' winter. Fall wheat was more or less killed out by frosts' and much of it had to be resown. If the drought continues .harvests may be light, but we are hoping for the best. One of the worst results of the severe winter was the effect on our orchards, and a drive through the country just now is somewhat dial turbing, for many of the orchards have been pretty badly bit and many trees have been killed. Apples, peaches, pears have all suffered se- verely, as well as some •small fruits. This information is for, the benefit of our readers in distant parts, many of whom, like Mr. Johnston, have a soft spot in their hearts for the old community. And while we are not too hopeful about the coining harvest we are not much afraid of a famine. We have had seed time and we ex- pect a harvest, even it is not as boun- tiful as in some former years. In fact we in this part of Ontario are convinced that, all things considered we are about as well favored as any on this old globe. 14.75 1.00 LONDESBORO 111r.
