Rome Destroyed By Fire
Clinton—Fire of undetermined or-
igin completely destroyed the resi
:dense of Charles ' Cooper, 9th con-
seession. of Goderichtownship, on
'Thursday: afternoon. There was no
person home when the fire broke
,out. Mrs. Cooper is ill in Clinton
Public Hospital and Mr. Cooper
was calling there during the after-
noon. About 4 o'clock Mr. Steep,
'whose farm is directly across the
jiiiismart, saw smoke rising front the in
:terrier of the
dwelling w n r
g
and d si nmmon-
ung other neighbors by phone hur
.aied across. With their uriited ef-
forts some of the contents of the
'tower storey were saved. The fire
had gained such headway however,
,chat the greater portion of the
,downstairs fell prey to the flames.
While nothing certain can be attri-
Tbttted as to the origin, it is thought
that an overheated smoke flu or de
:fective chimney may have been -res-
•ponsible..

Dear Friend; — The ever -turning
whirling of time has again brought
to our attention • the change and
chance of the things of this world.
Meeting in gladness and parting

that it is so.

After Crew of the
Prater Taylor Reports
The after .crew of the Prater Tay-
lor, of the Algoma. Steamship Lilies,
will report at Goderich today and
commence fitting out the boat for
the conning season. So far as is
known, no other crew of the fleet
tie hich wintered here have been ord-
ered, to report.'
There are about eight or nine in-
ches of ice in the harbor and yes-
terday and today the Forrest tug
has been engaged in breaking it up
$6 ' that the Valcartier may be
brought alongside the Goderich el-
evator for unloading. There are still
six .freighters with storage cargoes
tied up here. The grain trade is re-
ported locally as very quiet. There
is very little evidence of spring at
the harbor.—Goderich Star.
Negotiations to Commence Soon
Engineer Flannery of the Hydro -
Electric Commission,, while in town
on Monday, informed us that the
Commission is now about ready to
submit figures in connection ' with
the purchase of the local electric
plant. The details will be fully giv-
en at a' special meeting of the 'vil-
lage council in the course of a few
weeks after which public meetings
will be held to fully inform the rate-
payers, who will be called upon to
vote on the question.—Mildmay Ga-
zette.
Won New Plymouth Sedan
Roy Matthews, son of Mr.' and
Mrs. James Matthews of town, is
the fortunate chap these' flays, for
he will soon be behind the wheel. of
his new Plymouth, sedan, which cost
him only one dollar. It ' happened
thusly: Roy spent the past winter
working irm Fort William, returning
home ata ;the end of February. To
raise funds for their team, the hoc-
key club there sold three thousand
numbered membership tickets at $1
each. The person holding the lucky
number then drawn was to become
the possessor of this fine car. Roy
had bought a ticket when in Fort
William and was delighted to re-
ceive a• telegram last Thursday this
his was the winning ticket. The car
is . waiting him at Fort William, but
as 'is is too far to go after it, and
too expensive to ship it, arrange-
ments are being, made ,to have a new
car from the factory in Windsor
placed at his disposal instead.—Dur-
liana Review.
