The council met 011 Monday even- ing with all the members present, Since last meeting the dere • had written to several firms regarding oil dor the streetsandcomtnunica- tfons were read from The . British American Oil Co., the imperial Oil Company, and the Patterson Aifg. Co. Also a representative of the latter company, was present and eve - dressed the council on ' the subject of turtle. ,While a little more ex- pensive lie pointed out that it was 11101111 more durable and conse-lnecitle was more economical in the end. Mr. Wiltse thought that if tarvia was any better then oil we' ought to hale it: IIe said that from what 11e 0bseeve1 in connection with the oil last 101,5011 Ire thought it would be well to use sand with either oil or tarvia . s 1considered t 1 't 1e that tut in the places where sand 551.1s used last year the oil was much more satis- factory. Reeve Ford was pleased with the result of using oil last season but saidhe would be quite willing to have something heavier used with sand, IIe pointed out the fact that oil had advanced a half cent in price the past month. Mention was made of Collingwood's experience with tarvia and Mr. Nediger said : "1f we could . make our streets look like those of Col= Lingwood I would be perfectly satis- fied with tarvia." 1Ir, Paisley drought some of the towns where tarvia has been used should be communicated with and information gathered, M'r, Sheppard: "We have written several towns on former occasions. As we seem ib be agreed that some- thing should done to the streets we ought to mance sure that the tin,(e is not dilly-dallied away until it is too late to do anything," Finally a motion was pessed ee- conunending the use of tarvia raid empowering the street comnuttee to memo the same at a cost of not more than ten and a half cents per gallon. Tho matter of the appointment of a cemetery superintendent cattle up again, this time in the form of a petition signed by one lutndred, and seven out of the seven hundred or' so ratepayers, asking that the late superintendent be re -instate]. The question was discussed pro and con, when a motion to have the Pe- tition discussed six months (hence was put and lost and one to Maim the appointment met the same fate. The matter, therefore, still hangs fire, Mr. Wm. Rutledge asked the coun- cil t'o flnieh laying tile in the por- tion of the 1VIary street drain which runs through his property on Eric and Osborne streets, He pointed out that as the said drain was being used as a sewer to have it open was detremental to tine comfort 8110 health of the neighborhood. He was very reasonable in his request, sug- gesting that the tile be laid by de- grees until the drain is completed, Messrs. Miller and McE4van thought it would lbe a. good idea, in view of the shortage of coal this winter, to have a municipal coal yard where ratepayers who buy in small lots could be supplied. A'ir. Nediger thought it might be worth eolisideritig but said as far as he could see it wouldn't Mean .any cheaper coal. At least it had- n't worked out that way in the plac- es tvllere it had been tried. Mr. Wiltse said it would not be Well for the council to go into amp - thing. like that without baying con- sidered it well, • Mr, Paisley : "I do not like pub- lic ownership, it leads to graft, and besides the Clinton coal dealers axe in v r 1 well the ci , -r• " i iii .. doing 0 y »y ns.

It was a pretentious undertekin; for the young ladies but they carri- ed it arri-edit through with excellent skill. The play, a pretty little comedy with a touch of the 'Levee in it, re - 1 around ed v a d an attempt- to steal a ten dollar gold piece which was found in a vest sent in to a rum- mage sale in a church: Misses Olive Cooper, R.

McTaggart and L, Grant were the actors and all dill well. Miss McTaggart as "Meg" the child from the slums, Miss McIver. its "Miss Mills," organist of the church, and Miss Greet as "Mrs. Johnston," wife of the janitor, 'Were particular- ly good. Upon these developed most of the action of the play and they therefore had more scope for their a- bilities, but both Miss Grant's ani Miss McTaggart's acting was quite realistic and they demonstrated their ability to take heavier parts, A. minuet, by eight' young gills, dressed in the style of long ago, was exceedingly; pretty. It is small wonder, indeed, that people who were accustomed to those graceful and dignified dances should describe mod- ern (lancing as "romping". After the play the minstrel show was put on. Miss M. Gibbings, a smart little "nigah" sang a pretty( song as a curtain raiser and just as the curtain went up "0 Canada" and "01d Black Joe". trete sung by the whole chorus.

Sewell, The costumes of the end ladles were varied and wondert,al to behold and before the ' performance was over they demonstrated the fact that they could both dance and sing.

There ever° few figures better known on 'Clinton streets than George Hoare. He was a elan of more than average intelligence, a great reader and a creat levet: of nature. He fre- quently made a visit to 'Toronto and while interested in the new . inven- tions and the. various signs of pro- gress, he always expressed pleasure at returning to the freer atmosphere of the country. He was fond of flowers and cultivated his own tittle garden, which, as a neighbor remark- ed yesterday, "was something like his own good ,dualities ; not paraded before the public hat nevertheless very real and. beautiful," It was largely through the efforts of Mr. Hoare that the Lluroit Coan- ty't Stock Show was first started and he never ceased teeing the keenest interest in its welfare. At the time of his death ho was vice-president of the Association. On Saturday last Mr, Hoare was at work in the large plena orchard, for which, the -..farm . is noted, but complained of not feeling verp well, On Sunday and Monday he was not well but refused to hare a (lector called. Indeed, during ajl his long life he had never had occasion to consult a doctor.
