1FIRST MEETING OF COUNCIL.
The members of the town council
for 1017 met Monday morning last
and were duly sworn 111 as council-
lors. A striking committee consist -
ling of, Reeve Ford and Councillors
Wiltse and Sheppard, was appointed
d untilh
- made to
' urn rent 1 .
and an alio n
evening.
At eight o'clock the members met
in the council chamber, all being pre-
sent with Mayor Thompson in the
chair. The striking committee pre-
sented their report which was as
follows :
Street C'onimittee, Miller, Paisley,
Ford, Wiitse.
Property, Sheppard, Wiltse; Ford.
Fire and Water, Mcnean, Paisley,
Miller.
Cemetery, Paisley, Miller Nediger.
Charity, Ford, Nediger; lIfeEwan.
Park, Nediger, Paisley, Sheppard.
Bylaws, Nediger, Wiltse, Ford,
Finance, Wiltse, Ford, Sheppard.
Court of Revision, Thompson, Ned -
Iger, Paisley, ltlelewan, Miller,
Special, Sheppard, :VicRwan, Miller.
The report was adopted without
change and there followed a good
deal of ,discussion regarding the
work of the year. Mayor Thompson
said he hoped the business of :the
town wo.ild be carried out during
the year as expeditiously as possible
and he' advised the members to
study the bylaws and become famil-
iar with the business so that mat-
ters could be taken up in a business
like manner.
Councillor Wiltse, as an old legis-
lator, endorsed the words of the
ma31or and said he hoped, the advice
would be taken hi good part and ac-
ted upon. -
Councillcu Sheppard spoke of a
certain motion which had passed last
year which proved unpopular with a
portion of the ratepayers and for
which u couple of councillors before
the election disclaimed responsibility.
He thought councillors ought•to pay
enough attention to the business be-
ing transacted to be able to vote eith-
er one day or the other. A councillor
should not Up to- shirk responsibil-
ity because he wasn't attending to
business,
Reeve Ford tliouglit the committees
should present written reports and
assume responsibility for their acts.
Councillor Miller as chairman of the
street committee exhibited a desire
to assume at once the responsibili-
ties cd his position and said materi-
al should be got this. winter so that
the streets conid,be. repaired at
once ..as soon as the spring opened
and before oiling had to be done.
He called attention to Victoria St.,
which he said was originally too
narrow so that vehicles had to keep
to one track too much and so ruts
were formed.
Councillor Paisley suggested that
there was plenty of steno at the
town pit and that he would go out
with the now chairman of the com-
mittee and see what was available.
Councillor Miller thought also that
salt should be kept on hand so that
it could be sprinkled on the icy
walks from time to time.
Councillor Wiltse thought that all
accounts against the council should
bo in not later than the Friday be-
fore the meeting so thatt they
could
be examined and passed by council
Councillors Miller and Paisley intro-
duced a inotion to this effect which
was carried.
The matter of putting ashes on the
streets came up for discussion and
a motion was passed to :the effect
that householders are to 'be asked to
keel)their ashes in

council will assume the

SHOWER FOR THE SOLDIERS.
EARLY MORNING WEDDING.
A quiet wedding took place at Wes-
ley parsonage yesterday morning
when Miss Mary Elizabeth Forbes,
younger daughter of the late A. For-
bes and of Mrs. Forbes of Clinton,
was united in marriage with Mr.
Charles Twitchell, son of the late
James and. Mrs. Twitchell, also ' of
Clinton,
The bride wore her travelliug suit
of navy blue broadcloth with grey
velvet hat and marabou furs. The cere-
monyi•was' performed by Rev, Dr,
Rutledge, the register being signed
by Mrs. Russ, sister of the bride,
and Miss Clara Twitchell, sister of
the groom, as w ttnesses,
Immeately after the ceremony Mr.
and Mrs. Twitchell drove to the de-
pot where they took the seven thir-
ty sive .train for a honeymoon trip, to
Buffalo and New York. On their re-
turn flier will take up residence in
the cosy hon ;e formerly occupied bye

'of the death of ,Mrs. Joseph Reynolds,

TELEPHONES HAD A,,REST.•
Fridays, Saturday and Sunday last
Clinton -people enjoyed arest from
the telephone. Owing to some defect
fn the cable smile, sane little time
ago water was absorbed during the:
few soft ,days last week and conse-
quently the system tvas put out of
bushiess for the time being. Experts.
were immediately sent up, however,
and .a couple of clays wort: put mat-
ters right again.
There is probably no invention
more indespcnsible than the telephone
and none which enables one to do so
much business quickie and. easily, On
the other hand there is proeably no-
thing which takes tip so much of'the
time of a busy business man and which
so persistently breasts in upon lis
work. In mere than one business of-
fice in Clinton on Friday and Satur-
day last, therefore, an extra amount
of week -end work was cleaned up as
a result of the dumbness of that
pesky desk phone. AIL were tnrfeineits

Society are asked to cut out the list
and place in a prominent place so
that it can be easily seen and heed-

proven by the number of seeks sent
in to the Society which have to he

The annual meeting of the Huron

SAVE THE PIPERS.
As showing what can Le done with
what we have up to a very late date
looked upon as waste. Some weeks
ago the Young Ladies' Patriotic
Auxiliary interested the children o'
the Public school in gathering waste
Paper, rags, bones, ete. The young-
sters called at nearly all the homes
in Clinton and everyone shaved a
willingness' to assist. The collection
was made at the school and one day
recently the whe'e was disposed of
to a dealer for the sunt of seventy'.
dollars. Until within the past year
or so most of this stuff would have
been consigned to the I'^nffre at
spring cleaning 'time. Canada will
have been the gainer, to that extent,
at least, if the war has taught her
thrift.
THE BONNE ENTENTE.
Mr. lellryden° went to Toronto
on Monday to meet the members of
the Bonne Entente from Quebec, who
have been returning the. Mendip vis-
it made by the party from Ontario
who visited several cities in Quebec
hi October last, The party arrived
in Toronto on Monday morning and
visited Hamilton and Niagara Falls.
While in Toronto, the visitors were
entertained at the Icing Edward,
given a public reception at the city
hall and were taken to visit- the mu-
nition factory, the University, Tech-
nical School, etc. While similar en-
tertainment was offered them at
IIalnilton and Niagara. Tlie -organiz-
ation, which is called the. Bonito
T'ntaute, was formed by a number of
gentlemen from the sister provinces
for the purpose of fostering more in-
timate and ' friendly relations be-
tween the two provinces. It is en-
tirely non-politicar and those who
are interested in the movement be-
lieve that the result of these neigh-
borly visits will have a lasting ben-
eficial effect in creating more cordial
understanding between English-speak-
ing and French-speaking Canadians.
