The wedding took place. in Strat- ford on Dee. 15th of two former Clinton young people when Lev, S. A. Slacdonnell of St.. Paul's Much united in marriage Mr. Thos. R. Watts, sou of Mr. W'. 1•I. Watts, and Miss Mildred ramlin daughter of Mr, Henry Fremlitt of town. The bride had been ;for some time fore- woman at The R. M.. Ballantyne manufacturing establishment and the groom has a good positiou in that city. They will reside in Stratford. Mr. and Mrs. Watts spent the week- end and holiday with Clinton friends. HONORED BY ASSOCIATES. Mr. Chas. Tebbutt, who has had the supervision of Vocational ']'rain- ing of returned soldiers in Sir' Sand- ford Fieming's Military Convalescent Hospital, Ottawa, was agreeably sur- prised on Friday last when his asso- ciate male instructors on the staff called him to one of the class rooms and presented him with a handsome pair of engraved gold etlti links, as a token of esteem and good will. Mr. Tebbutt, though taken by. surprise, expressed his strong appreciation of this token and also 00 the oontinued good feeling that has always prevail- ed amongst the workers. LONDON TRAIN OFF AGAIN. It is announced that the "London" trains, as they are locally called, that: is the morning train corning up from London and arriving here at 10.30, and the same train returning from \Ving hang and due here.. at 9. 0 in the afternoon, will i 11e taken off the first week of the New Year. It will be remembered that this was done last winter and that the cur- tailment of service caused no little inconvenience. The council and boards of trade in London and other towns effected are protesting. What will Clinton's council and board • of trade do about it ? Tbe London bus- iness men argue that there are a number of other trains which could be spared much better than this par- ticular one. Probably it is because there is no other railway line ser- ving this section and. consequently the Company will not thereby lose trade, that this train is °being dis- continued. if it is a necessity ow- ing to war conditions we ought to submit as gracefully as we can but those interested ought to look into the matter and see that all the sac- rifice is not being asked of a small portion of the people. MODELITES 'HONOR TEACHER, On Thursday evening the Model, class, which finished its work on Friday, took the opportunity of gath- ering at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bouck to express to the former their appreciation, of his work in their be- half during the term and their sor- row at the thought of separation, The following address was read by the president of the Literary Society, Miss Woods, and the presentation of a parting souvenir was made by Mr. Beaton. Mr, .Bouck, in a few well chosen words, expressed ,bis apprecia- tion of the work done during 'liie Model term, of the friendships formed, and. for the token of friendship given M.r. Bolick has always proved hi11-' self an exceptionally fine trainer of teachers, This is no doubt clue in a large pleasure to the keen personal interest he takes in each member of the class wider his direction and the fine enthusiasm which ire brings to his work. He never fails to win the personal regard of' the Modelitcs, who recognize In him a true friend and guide. The following is the ad- dress read on Thursday evening : "Dear Mr, Boucle,—The Model class of 1017 feel they would fail to avail themselves of a privilege if in some way we did not express to you our appreciation of our experiences of the term, 'When we carne together last August we were strangers to each other and to you, but during these months friendships have been forin- ed between us as students in which you have had a. directing hand. And we feel that these friendships will be the nobler and truer beeause of }1)ulr influence. But even above the friend- ship for eaoh other, we prize tli,t friendship established between your- self and ns. As a teacher we have appreciated your+ faithful and pains- taking effort. And.. as we . go . at.t new from your class, qualified for r. e lif s dot we the! that >oll will t 1 Y.a S al- ways take.a, kindiy interest in Cls tvhe:ever 0111' lot may be cast. Now upotl the eve of our separation as an expression of our appreciation of the great and, abiding Value of the service you have rendered 1114 we nifk you to accept this small 101144n . or friendship, Signed on behalf of the Model class ,S, Nelson, 8.

"The result in Goderich may be at- tributed almost solely to the women's organization. The lesson should not be lost in future campaigns. There will doubtless be a general enfran- chisement of women for the next el- ection, and the Liberal women must organize and work as the Conserva- tive women did in this election." —Goderich Signal, One would imagine that it was on- ly the Conservative women who did any work in the late election cam- paign. We do not know about con- ditions in Goderich, loft we do know that in the Unionist League, organ- ized in Clinton a few weeks before the election and which did good service, some of the most entimsiastie and efficient workers were Liberals. The Signal seems to mance the mis- take of thinking that all Liberals were opposed to Union Government. People You Know Mt', ,and Mks. J. A. Sutter were with friends in Stratford for Christmas.
