Clinton under the direc- tion of Mr. S. B: Stothersy District Representative, same to an end last Friday, being wound up by a banquet in the council chamber in the even- ing. . The banquet, which was served ,by E Wendorf, was all that could be desired and was most heartily , en- joyed by..everyone.,and at its concau- sion a toast list was carried through, the Rev, H. W. Snell of "Wingham, who was one of the instructors dur- `ing'tha'eaurse, acting 05 toastntas- ter, a • position which he filled most gracefully and well. The first toast, "The King, was responded to by the hearty singing' of the National Anthem. "Our Coun- try" was proposed'_ by' bir. Irvine Tebbutt in a neat 'speech and re- eponded to by the. singing of one verse, • of The Maple Leaf." "The Girls' Course" was proposed by Mr. Bob Archibald and responded to by Misses Etta Hardy and Bessie Lind- say. "The Boys' Course" was pro- posed by Miss 'Mabel Crich and re- sponded to by Messrs. Hugh Fraser' Arnold Jamieson and George Mc- Cartney. "Agriculture"" was , pro t,osed by Mre S.- R. Siothers, 'who str;dck a cheerful ` note and .bade the young people tvho: were now scatter- ing to their several homes, to honour their -calling and seek to make the `best of .the instruction received. This was responded to by Mr. W. D.- Jackson, assistant to the superin- tendent of district representatives, who made an interesting, speech. "Junior Fanners' Improvement As- sociations" was proposed by Miss Edna Wise and responded to by Mr. Leslie Pearson of Clinton, Mr. Eldon Stoltz of 'Auburn and Mr. James needy of Wh]ghanr. "The - Staff" was proposed by IVIr, Howard Johns. This was responded to by'Miss Hop- kins. who had ,charge of the Girls' class during the couase and who was described by" the toastmaster as "The most popular member of the stall` during the- , course." Miss Hop- kins modestly disclaimed this honour but she spoke in the highest terms' of the Clinton class; said she'd "back 'em against all 'comers," or words to that effect. She said she. thought there was more being done -for the boys th nn'the girls and ex- pressed the conviction that every *county should not only have a re pres2ntative to promote the interests of the farm hut should have a lady representative to pronate the work of women. The toast to "Our Guests"• was proposed by Mr;, D. A. 'Andrew and responded to by Mayor Cooper, Mr McPhail, B.S.A. of 'Perth, and the editors of 'thelneal newspapers. Miring the evening .Miss Edna Wise gave an instrumental solo, Mr. Leslie Pearson , sang "When The Leaves Conie Tumbling Down," with violin aiconr anilnent and a Orches - p f n tra, composed of theeo violins and piano, played -by Messrs. Pearson,. Carter and Tebbutt arid Mise Grace Tebbutt, contributed' a couple of se- leetions and Rev. Mr. Snell gave a reading from Drummond. The gath- ering came to an end by the ainging of "Auld' Lang Syne" and the. Na- tional Anthem. "The banquet was a decided suc- cess," was the unanimous opinion of all who were favored with an invita- tion' to ib. s It was late when the gathering broke up and some of us were glad to hurry: home and to ` bed, but not so the members ' of the classes, if certain signs spoke true. But, then, it was a winding up time and no doubt the young people were loath to !part. , lf, as one of the speakers' suggest- ed, a gathering of' all the organiza- tions of young farmers in/the coun- ty is holdnextsummer, and Clinton is the plaee chosen for the gathering, they'll be sure of a warm woleotne. a 6 r, ry The yonlg men and young,wonee to whom fell the duty of proposing el''responding to '.toasts each ex- pressed himself or'heraolf well and clearly.

Knowing itis con- dition. •Rev:• J. W. Gordon of the Presbyterian church kindly came font ward and offered to'ntinister,at Dub- lin on Sunday. Owing to unforeseen Circumstances, Mr. Gordon had to er- gretfully withdraw his offer. How- ever, Rev. ?I1•. , Uren, -pastor ;of the Methodist church eagle on the scene • and filled the breach •.by preaching, for der. Robarts at Dublin. To'ahow further this great comradeship, both.

Later, on tnotiob of Reeve and Councillor 0. L. Paisley the, Institute was given permission to erect the gates _ and instructions were -given for the re- moval of the old gates. A snag was struck when,Chairman Livermore of the by-laws committee presented his report recontinending that by-laws Nos. 5, 6 and 7 be read. No. 5 is,a by-law appointing; the. Chief Costable and Night Constable officer's for the enforcement' of the 0. T.

Councillor Livermore said that in'. towns of similar. size higher licenses were paid Councillors Middleton and Nediger both thought the fee as indicated in the by-law too high. Fin- ally it was agreed that the fee should be fixed at $60 and the ,mayor re-, sunned his place and the by-laws were read a second and third time and passed. Chairman MiddIeton' of the street: committee reported the opening of several streets .which had been. blocked_with snow and recommended that a new crusher plate be procured for the town crusher, the 'Clinton, :Foundry to be, given the .:lob of make ing same.
