WHAT ABOUT IT ?
...The National Service League has
had posted up in a conspicuous place
on the front street a huge poster
calling attention to the fact that
those whoare v
revelling n '
D e i 17 Y
g 1 luxury are
Y
really fu league with the Empire's
enemies and doing much to retard the
satisfactory ending of 'the war.
There may not be many of the class
depicted in Clinton or vicinity but
it is well to keep in mind the fact
that everyone can help or hinder the
winning of the war, Let's take a
good look at that poster and see if
there is any lesson in it for us.
A FORTUNATE ESCAPE,
On Sunday afternoon last while
the funeral of Mrs. Wm, Hardy was
going through town on its way • to
the cemetery, the horse driven by Mr.
Russel Neal took fright at an auto
and became unmanageable. Tlie bug-
gy was upset and elr, and •Mrs. Neal -
and babe were all thrown out, The
horse then got free from the ,•ie and
ran, Fortunately and almost by a
miracle none. of the occupants of the
buggy were seriously injured, The
horse was not hurt and ,the buggy
and harness only slightly damaged so
that Mr. and Mrs. Neal are con-
gratulating themselves on their for-
tunate escape.
BOWLING ON 11HE GREEN,
The bowlers spent the Civic holi-
day in a full day's bowling, The
morning g was spent at h
me in local
contests s and in the afternoon Mit-
chell was visited where they were
hospitably entertained and had a
most enjoyable time but as the fol-
lowing score will show they were not
strong enough for the Mitchell bowl-
ers. In the evening they played at
Seaforth, two rinks being up, one a
tie and the young colts in a team by
themselves were beaten by seven
shots,

THE COUNCIL MEETING.
On 'account of Monday being a
holiday the council met on Tuesday
evening. All the members were pres-
ent but, owing to the heat or emu -
thing, little business was transact-
ed,
A telegram was read from Premier
Hearst to the mayor asking the co-
operation of the corporation in the
effort to get help to the farmers for
the harvest and asking that civic
employes be released for farm, work
andany difference in wages be laid
by the town. No action Was taken
as the council was not aware of any.
special call from farmers in this vic-
inity and there were no corporation
employes who could be spared,
Chief Wheatley reported that the
weeds were growing somewhat rank
in the park and suggested that they
be cut by the ,man who cuts the
grass.
Councillor Slieppard thought a man
should be sent to rake the stones
from the road at the north end of
Albert street as it was in bad, shape.
Caretaker Hill addressed the coun-
cil with regard to the cemetery,
which he said was in as good condi-
tion as usual. The grass on the
plots had not been cut in previous'
years, so he said, and lie had cut
whatever geese he wished to feed
and that which was not cut was not
suitable for feed.
Councillor Paisley, said the cem-
etery didn't look, very well but looke
ed as well as usbal.
C'ouneillor Miller complained, that
there was grass left lying about on
the ground and that some of the
plots looked, pretty bad.
Councillor Wiltse thought if the
committee was satisfied with the
condition of things the council ought
to boan d the t,1 matter
was dropped,
e
.
Some discussion
Was engaged
in
regarding the streets and complaints
made that there was a good bit of
dust blowing, Taves, it was con-
tended, was not supposed to lay the
.dust, it was ler the peesereetion of
the road, It. Vas decided to use the
sweeper aid so get rid • el some of
the dust, ,

death of ,her son, Dr, Arthur Bean
of Consecon, who had been burned to
death when his home was destroyed
by Tire, and tliat his wife and babe
were also badly burned, No par-
ticulars were given but the evening,
papers contained a dispatch from
Pioton saying that the fire occurred
at about live o'clock in the morning
and the house was in flames when
Dr. and Mrs, Bean were awakened,
They put the child out of a window
and Mrs. Bean managed to get out
of the house but her husband was
overcome by the smoke and perished,
The horrible tragedy has greatly
shocked the citizens or Dr, Bean's
old home town. Mrs. Ilean is also
well known hero as for a time Clin-
ton was her ]some also, She was
formerly Miss Kate Peed, a daughter
of Rev. J. 81. Nord, who for three
years was pastor of Wesley, church,

member of the 0, 0, L teaching staff,
They. were married two years ago
and Dr. Beau first opened cd

day. A number of Clinton people
were spending the day at the lake-
side and while a baseball match was
in progress a dispute arose ,between
a Clinton business man and another
as to who had a right 011 a base,
.The other pushed the C,13,111, off;
the base, so it is alleged, an act
which was resented by. the C.B.M,•
Another baseball player of more than
local fame jumped into the ring and
for a minute or tsvo things began to
look interesting. However, a clergy-
man, who had himself been playing
earlier inthe day, cane along and,
pouring oil on the troubled waters,
succeeded in restoring peace.
