Golden Wedding Anniver- • sary Celebrated Monday A very pretty and interesting ev- ent took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Welsh, eldest seri of Mr. and Mxs. Robt. Welsh; Clinton, an Monday, it being 'the celebration of their Golden Wedding anniver- sary. !, 1• ,. Mrs. Welsh was formerly Miss Jane Johnson of the Goshen Line. She spent her girlhood days in Stan- ley, corning to Clinton astis bride fif- ty years ago, and has resided here ever since. Mr. Welsh, or "Bob, as he is mostly called by his friends, spent his boyhood in Goderich town- ship, he being born on. the farm now occupied by Arthur Welsh, his nep- hew. Mr. and Mrs. Welsh were .married by Rev. Mr. Smith at Varna, in 1884. They are both enjoying good health. and like to drive around in their own ear these fine autumn days. For thirty-seven years "Bob" was police constable and night watchman in Clinton and is about as well- known as anybody around town and country, The celebration day' was all that could be desired and a sumptuous dinner was served at one o'clock. The dining -room was decorated with yel- low and white streamers, crystal and silver,'•gold and white dishes were us- ed on the bride's table, yellow glass, gold and white dishes were used on the other table, with a small table on which the wedding cake was placed connecting the two. The living -room was decorated in .mauve and yellow, a profusion of flowers making the house look beautiful. Mr. and Mrs. Welsh received many congratulations on their Golden wedding day. The Free Press of London broadcasted congratulations at a quarter to one and a soloist sang "Silver Threads Among the Gold," in honor of the couple. The' bride was presented with a cameo brooch and bouquet of mums, the groom with a gold -headed cane. Mr. and Mrs. Wlelsh were blessed with four sons: Edward, at whose Koine the •celebration was held; Ro- bert Nixon, principal of Victoria School, London; Lorne, who passed on some years ago, and Wilbur, who resides on a farm, in Stanley.

CLINTON WINS SATURDAY Detroit Tigers were very busy win- ning their world series game in St, Loris on Saturday by a score of 10-4, but that was nothing to manyyeuthus iastic fans who watched Clinton. do- ing almost exactly the same thing in the final with Staffa in the Huron - Perth Intercourity League and win- ning the championship with the sub- stantial margin of five runs in a 10-5 score. Playing conditions were not ideal. The heavy rain in the morning had left the diamond muddy in spots, but the game had been postponed from thepreviousSaturday. Clinton took the field. Carrick's curves were puz- zling to the Perth county boys until the 5th innings when they registered three hits and scored two runs. Clin- ton, though connecting frequently with Kerslake's delivery, were unable to make house plate until their sixth batting tvlien Hawkins' three -base wallop was followed by McEwans single which brought him. home, In the 7th Staffa repeated their double score of the 5th and the score board showing 4-1 in their favor was a blue outlook for Clinton, The •complexion took on a rosier tint, however, when corning up for their 7th they pounded Kerslake for six hits to score four and were one up. Staffa tied the. snore in the Sth but Clinton's winning streak held and in their 8th five run- ners crossed the plate anti the score was 10-5•. Kerslake was taken out, in an attempt to stem the tide. Howe taking his place. Whether an improvement or not, the change came too late. The ninth was soon over with three up and three out. Carrick suffered a torn finger but managed to strike out 12 batters while allowing eight hits and no walks. Kerslake was almost equally good with 12 strikeouts, four walks and allowing 13 hits, Clinton-4i0'B.rien, 2b.; Holmes, if.; Pickett, ib.; Carrick, p.; Hawkins, ss.; McEwan, c.; McDonald, 8b.; Liv- ermore, cf.; Hovey, If.

J. A. Agnew, formerly of Clinton, and made their escape with about eight dollars. The boldness of the thieves caused some comment, as the parsonage is situated right along- side the church and there are resi- dences on all sides. The front door of the parsonage had not been locked and it is suppos- ed that the thieves made their en- trance by this means. The whole house had been ransacked but as far as could be learned only the money had been taken. • PEOPLE YOU KNOW Mr. John Yesbeck of London is vis- iting in town this week.
