SUDDEN DEATH,
Mr. Jdsepk Blackwell Of Holmes --
vale died suddenly on Sunday morn-
ing.
He rose about six o'clock and went
down stairs and Ids daughter hearing
hint Moan shortly afterwards hasten-
ed to him. She saw at a glance that
he was in a critical condition and
summoned assistance, but when she
got back to his side he was breathing
his last. .
The shock was very great as kr,
Blackwell appeared to be in about
his usual health. The youngest. son,
Mr. A. Bleckwell of Woodstock, re-
ceived the sad news While attending
divine service.
The deceased was a native of North-
amptonshire, England, where he was
born sixty two years ago. in 1874
he catne to this country and located
at Mitchell where he remained until
tees, moving in that year to Holities-
ville which continued to be hie hoine
until death ititerv .

as a, Iota' preacher he often filled Ide-
al pulpits with acceptance. He was a
Liberal iii pdlities but placed prin-
ciple before party and exercised his
franchise for what he believed to be
in the best interests of the Country.
To Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell were
both tvvo daughters and three sons,
Mrs. S. Phipps of Indian Ford, Mati,;
Mies Blackwell at home ; W. A.

ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS.
It has been decided to bold the En-
trance examinations or East Huron
on the same dates as those ter the
West Riding, namely, June 25th, 26th
and s7th. The youngsters who go up
for exam. will consider it a hardship
to have to write upon Coronation
Day,
THE CORNER STONE,
The corner stone of the Kipp=
Presbyterian church will be well and
truly laid on Thursday next. We lieve
not heard the dimensions of the pro-
posed building, but presume they will
be large. Mr. J. B. Hoover will fur-
nish the corner stone, suitably in-
scribed.
108 PHONES,
Mr. J. B. Rumball, local agent for
the Bell Telephoue Company, is hav-
ing phones placed in the Rattenbury
street. parsonage, Mrs. Muggrige's,
Mr, J. T. Jackson's and Broadfoot &
Box's. This will make x08 telephones
in Clinton, the largest number, we
are Wormed, in any town et its size
in Canada.
A PRETTY CEMETERY,
The Clinton cemetery. is rapidly be -
touting a very pretty spot, the most
attractive God's Acre in the county.
This is due to the interest taken in it
by the committee: of the town council,
the painstaking caretakar and the plot
holders. • Among the latter who might

urday were Alf. Bare,: .1, W. Reid
