Mitchell, Woodstock and other places are putting down sidewalks in- side the trees, so there are chronic cranks in other places beside Clinton.

If our streets were double width it would be better.

We may say farewell to some of out beautiful shade trees in a few years. I would remind Ratepayer that the town did not vote against the House of Mu e, but the promoters never expected that the house would be made anything but a home for aged poor, and not an asylum, as some *mild try to make it.

He is employed at Karn!ii piano factory, one of tne large industries of the Dominion. We learn that Mr Fos- ter is popular not only in social circles, but his services mean demand for con- cert singing around. there, and as solo- ist of the Dundas St. Methodist church his services are much appreciated: MORE GRANOLITH/C - The men re. turned to town last week, and are at work ' -again. The council has passed petitions for several new walks one from Dinslev's corner to David Cook's, also from flodgens' corner to Fair's, - and Mr Searle has a petition in fcr his and also along west side of Albert St. ' to Jackson Bros. store; Mr Searle' will pay the second largest frontage tax of any ratepayer for these walks, MreDo- herty paying the largest. The walks in front of the business places, should be put down so to to interfere as little as possible with business.interests. For a time there was friction between con- tracter A. Graham and the council and aheestoba- veste allowed to stand but work has been returned and serenity reigned. On Wednesday some disa- greement arose between the employer and his Men whereby his chiet men struck and left for London. There was another standstill. It seems the con- tractor's path is not a flowery one, . SATISFACTORY RESULTS -The list of , successful stueents of the Collegiate In - saute who wrote at the recent exami- i nations s, so far as already reported, highly creditable to the school. Thies - teen students of the second room wrote. Theee, nob having previously passed the First Form examination, had to write on five subjects, and eight passed. All but one student of the third room passed. These already holding Form I ' certificate, had to write on three sub- ject. Altogether 36 wrote and 80pass- ed. Elsewhere 'we give the names of the successful ones. Jeffrey, Smith and Snell, who wrote at Clinton, did net belong to the institute, On the other hand, Wilford and Hammond, who wrote and passed at Blyth, were students of the institute here, The re. stilt is the more satisfactory as the pa- pers were more difficult then had been expected by teachers and inspectors - a good deal more difficult than those of the old P. S. Leaving, especially in grammar. While it would be difficult to make a correct comps! ison of schools, a glance over the lists shows that our schoel has no reason to be ashamed of results so far; We congratulate our young friends who have thus success- fully made the first ate0 towards Junior Leaving standing. Meantime IN TORONTO, 'very pretty though quiet wedding was cele- brated on Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the residence of the bride's mother, Murray street, Toronto, when Mies Cora VanTassel, second daughter of Mre Helen D. VanTassel, •(tortnerly of Clinton.) was united in marriage to Richard A. Mitchell, thief clerk of the Canadian Express Co. The drawing rooms were artistically decorated with pink oaths ribbon, ferrite palms and cut flowere. The nuptial knot was tied by Rev Mr Rix, of the Church of the Re- deemer, and the bride was given away by PAW Mr Casson. The brid.al pro- cess' in was led by the sisters of the bride, Misses Mildred. and Gertrude VanTassel, vrhile the groom was sup- ported by Mr W. R. Deeper, of that city. The bride, Who is a yery popular young lady 'among her many acquain- tanees, looked charming in a gown of white liberty tilk with court train; the bodies was finished with a fichu and long state ends of white chiffon, and irried White rime and showers of maiden hair fern. The bridesmaids Wore very teaming gowne of white organdie, and carried red roses. After the reception a &Puller was served on a number of entail tables, each of which earried out a pretty seheme of decoration. The Wade's going -away costume was of grew cloth with green facings, the short eoat opening over a Very dainty 'pink silk' bloom, and her toque was of grey ehiftion.

Dr. Gifford stated the truth that is too often ignored when he said "it is more important to live right than to die right."
