A pleasant event in which Clinton - buts will take much interest took place at the resiadenco of ler. W. Fletcher, Galt, on Tuesday afternoon, when Miss Eva Croh, daughter of Dir. John Croll, this town, was united in marriage to Dir. William Elliott, of Galt. ()on- geat Lila tions and good wishes are in order in which Tum NEws-Recoitu heatt.ily joins, the more so since Miss ('roll was formerly a member of the staff. Easter Services at Rattenbury. There were large congregations at Rattenbury St. Methodist church Sun- day, both a. 1n. and p. in„ and on both occasions the pastor preached earnest and impressive sermons and the choir excelled itself. This choir, by the way, is being strengthened by the addition of new members and there is a deter- mination that it shall be second to none in Lown. Mr. Doherty, busy man that he is, certainly deserves much credit for the interest he Manifests and the time he devotes to furthering the choir's efficiency. Ben. Yeo Goes to..., ba. Mr. Ben. Yeo, who was one of the principals in the four school trustee electioins which Gulley's section, Gode- rich township, has had since December, left for 'Manitoba with his wife and family Tuesday afternoon, so, tts far as 110 is personally cun- cernecl the unpleasantness is prob- ably at •an end. Mr. Yeo emerged from the conflict with three victories otit of four stubborn lights, which -gave hien almost as much satisfaction as did the consciousness that his cause was just.

Is His Probation About At End P Goderich is the head centre of poli- tical rumors these days, the latest being to the effect that M. C. Cameron had handed. in his resignation and that son-in-law Galt of the post -office had done likewise and would accompany the Governor that is to be off to Regina in the capacity of privetsecretary or something of that nature As the lat- ter office is only of a tem orar'y nature and ran scarcely be itsi'eniuneratIVO as the postmastership, it can hardly he that report is on ads occasion correct though with all the circurnspection of hard facts it proceeds to relate that Galt goes to make way for McGilli- cuddy. If this piece of good luck is in store for that clever and witty para- grapher It will be no more than his dee, though by consenting to such at deal Cameron would scarcely be living to the reputation he bears of being a good hater. Thank -Offering Service. The Thank -Offering Service held in Ontario St. church on Friday evening last,, wasan occasion of unusual inter- est. The W. M.

Tierney, of Blyth, the Deputy District (.rand Master, who paid them an official visit. During the evening the initiatory degree was cqn- ferced, and the work so well-done as to win praise from the D.

Death of John Reynolds of Hallett. John Reynolds, of the 5th concession of Hullett and one of the pioneers of that township joined the Grreat'Major- ity on Saturday Inst. He was of Irish birth, but had lived the greater portion of his life in Ilallett where by years of unwearied industry he became the possesses of. one of the finest farms in that township. The Reynolds are a long-lived race. A brother of the de- ceased still living has reached the ripe old age of eighty•five, while another member of the family has reached an equally advanced lige.

Acmon Jim Will Go for the Stakes. Mr. Ike Rattenbury has entered his Kentucky bred pacer, Acmon Jim for several of the richest stakes to he offered in Kentucky and New York this year and will short- ly send hits to a training centre to be made fit. As none of the races will come oft until July there has been no necessity for haste so far. Acmon Jima will enter as a green 'un but Mr. Rattenbury fully expects him to give a good account of himself in the hest of company later on in the season. Easter Sunday at St. Paul's. The music in St. Paul's on Easter Day both morning and evening, was seldom excelled by any choir outside of the larger towns and cities. Special mention should be made of the beauti- ful Vesper hymn which was sung at the close of the service without the organ accompaniment. The blending of .the voices and the modulation of tone would have done credit to many More pretentious choirs. The floral decorations were very tasteful and in keeping with the great Festival of the Resurrection. The Dinkies Are in Town. The Dinkies arrived yesterday, dined at the Rattenbury and are now en- joying the hospitality of Mr. Win. Jackson. There are four of them, viz., A.J. Taylor, Passenger Agent of the (J.

Their visits are somewhat brief, hut they m;tna,ge crowd al great deal of sport into a few short hours. Mrs. Shannon a Good Samaritan. There carne to Clinton by Monday p. nt.'s train thorn 141L. Forest an aged German woman who was partially blind. She carried a card which stated that her name was Mrs. Chafruan and her destination lot 35os concession 1, Stanley. The kindly officials at, the depot interested themselves in her behalf, bet an enquiring at the place' named it was ascertained that a mistake had evidently been ida4le as no such person was. either elcpected or known. Pursuing their enquiries they decided from what they could gather from Mrs. (1ha,futan that the friends she was in quest of lived in Zurich or vicinity and accordingly sent her on by yesterday a. m's train. Dur- ing the interval Mrs. Shannon with thoughtful kindness took the aged traveller to her own home, an act which was all the more appreciated since the funds of the stranger were at a low ebb, It Will Be a Blg Day. The committees in charge of the May 2tth demonstration are deep in preparation and will spare no effort to make it the biggest event yet seen in Clinton.

The chair of St. Paul's church met, at the Rectory on Tuesday evening, to present Miss Mc -Hardy with a beauti- ful illuminated address, and say "Good Bye" to their organist and choir leader. A pleasant and sociable evening wits spent by all. The address read as follows:- MiSS NF.r.T.Y Mel-IARDY: -- On the occasion of the severance of your lengthy and pleasant connection, as organist and choir directress with St, Paul's church, Clinton, we gather tonight to give a parting handshake and God Speed.
