By JABEZ RANDS (As part of Clinton's upcoming Centennial celebrations next year, fahez Rands of Clinton is writing a weekly column on the history of the town.) Do you remember when there was a market square in Town? The village council in Clinton in 1869 decided to buy three • lots from the McTaggart Fanning Mill Company on which the Town Hall, the Library and the Library Park are now situated. These lots were to be used Or a Market Square and a Town Hall. The council set up a by-law and had the people vote on it with the by-law passing with a majority of two votes favouring the purchase of the property. Before the council could finalize the by-law, a notice was presented to the council that the by-law was illegal and a number of village citizens were trying to have the purchase quashed. This trouble must have been cleared up quickly, because the village had possession of the property in 1870. The market square was part of the lots that is now Library Park and where the present Town Hall is. It was not all fixed up with grass and trees as it is now, but was a large ex- panse of rough gravelled ground. In later •years when the Library was built, there was a small piece of grass in front of the building. It was exactly as the name implies, a market, a place where hay, grain, produce, and household goods were sold. At one time, competition between businessmen in Clinton was very strong. The farmers would drive into town with his grain etc., and sold it on the market square. But since com- petition was keen, sometimes he didn't get to the market before a merchant would buy his produce from him. There is the story that is written by an old resident some years ago, about two well-known grain merchants at the time, Charles Whitehead and Mr. Perrin having a glorious old scrap over as to who had the better claim to a load of grain. There were several scientific , rounds .before the onlookers decided they had enough fun out of it and stopped the scrap. When there was an auction sale furniture etc. to be carried out, it was always held in the market square. The article for sale had to be brought to the market for the sale. On the day of the sale, a boy would be hired to walk all over town ringing a bell and hollering the announcement of the auction sale in the market square. The market was still in use in 1910. At one time for a good number of years, grain was brought into Clinton, from nearly 50 miles north to the buyers here and before the arrival of the railroad, it was loaded on wagons and taken to London. About 1915, the market became a grass plot. Goderich Twp.

Mrs, Berne McKinley was the organist and the bride's aunt and cousin, Mrs. Cees van Amersfoort and Stephanie van Amersfoort sang, "The Lord is My Shepherd" and "Blest Be The Tie That Binds". The bride wore a gown of white polyester satin, A-line style with an embroidered scalloped chantilly lace. train. The head piece was a rhinestone crown with a nylon illusion elbow veil. She carried a bouquet of pink sweetheart roses with white, mauve and yellow shasta daisies. Maid of honour was Hilda Thalen of Blyth, sister of the bride. She wore a dress of multi-coloured flocked nylon over pastel taffeta and carried a basket of multi-coloured daisies. Attendants were Hillie van Amersfoort and Mary de Boer and flower girls were Helen Thalen, sister of the bride and Kathy Kelly, niece of the groom. They wore dresses similiar to the bride's and carried baskets of flowers. Groomsman was Tom Hef- fron, Hanover and ushers were Arnold Riley, brother of the groom and Rick Thalen, brother of the bride. The mother of the bride wore a long grape coloured Aline polyester crepe dress with jewel neckline trimmed with rhinestones and pearl daisies. She wore a yellow carnation corsage, acting Grand Master John Munro presiding. In a speech packed with humor, M. Wor, Sir Knight Maxwell Cole, 'grand master of British America, reviewed events of the past year, Speaking of the cenotaph ceremony here, he said such memorials,are sym- bols of the sacrifices made "in order that• we may be here tonight," "I see at such times", he said, "men who by their medals have experienced Wars 1 and 2. We are very prowl to be in their company." One of the most important factors of Orangemen or Protestants, he said, is pride in their own respective churches. He praised the sermon, the previous evening, of Rev. Leonard Warr as "forceful, to the point; we do not get enough of such sermons." Announcement was made of the Grand Black Chapter cen- tenary at Niagara Falls, June 16-18. It is to be international in cha'racter, with represen- tatives from New Zealand, Australia and the British Isles. The gathering enjoyed in- strumental and vocal numbers by a Goderich musical organization comprising Mrs. Dave Rolston, Mrs. Ron Curl, Miss Norma Wark, Eric Camp- bell, Clark Forrest and Edgar Howett. After repeated encores, the guests called for still more. At request of Grand Master Cole, they led the gathering in "How Great Thou Art" and finally in "Blest Be the Tie that Binds." Just before the close, three ladies were called to the microphone: Mrs. V. Endicott, London, grand senior precep- tress, Crystal Chapter of British America; Mrs. Vivian Harper, Orilla, grand secretary, Loyal Orange Benevolent Association of Ontario West, and Mrs. 'Walter Scott, of Belgrave, whose late husband was grand master of the Black Chapter of Ontario West. Grand Master Munro ex- pressed the thanks of the guests to the Knox church ladies for the excellent meal served, and the guests endorsed this with hearty applause.
