ENTERPRISING METHODS.
"In the fifty years" and more of the
Packet's existence it has never pub-
lished an advertisement quite so
large as the advertisement of A, Wea-
therwax, which appears in this is-
sue. It is not unfitting that this
should be the fact, seeing that it may
no doubt be said with truth that no
sale of equal magnitude has ever
boen attempted in Orillia," —Packet.
The above refers to a doable page
• ad. of a big sale put on in Orillia
by the sen -in-law of Mr. D. Castelon!
It is less -than ten years since Mr.
Weatherwax went into business for
himself and be is now one of the
most enterprising businessmen in that
live and enterprising town.
C. C. I, WON AGAIN,
The C. C. I,' boys defeated the
Goderieh C. I. boys on Tuesday
night, in the fastest hockey game of
the season.
The ice was very soft, but never-
theless, the Clinton boys were in the
best of condition, and played with uni-
form speed throughout the three per-
iods. Most of the goals were scored
by individual rushes, as combination
was impossible, on the heavy ice.
"Chic" Bawden was the star of the
evening, scoring the majority of the
goals, and by tricky and speedy play
swept the puck in from behind the
nets twice. This is another victory
for the C. C. I. boys. The score
was 12-2.

A SUCCESSFUL BANQTJ T,
The most successful banquet ever
held in connection with the Huron
Central Agricultural Society was giv-
en in the town hall on Thursday
evening last when about one' hundred
and ninety people sat down togeth-
er.
For some years the banquet has
been held"on the evening of the fair,
but that is usually a very busy day
and many who would naturally wish
to remain for the banquet would find
themselves obliged to go home in
the evening after having been away
all day and so missed the banquet.
This year it was determined to have
the banquet on a day by itself and
the result proved the wisdom of the
change.
For the first time the ladies wero
present and their presence no doubt
added to the interest and pleasure oi;
the occasion.
The banquet itself was all that
could be desired, being well -cooked
and=
wellserved
Mr. Wender' rf
do was
the caterer and on this occasion, the
first large gathering for which he
has catered since coining to town, he
gave excellent satisfaction.
During the progress of the banquet
Phelan's Orchestra dispensed sweet
music, which was highly appreciated.
Mr. C. Cook also sang a solo during
the evening.
At the conclusion of the banquet
Mayor McMurray, who is also secre-
tary of the Society, assumed his du-
ties as toastmaster and .the following
het was gone through:
"The King" was responded to by
the hearty singing of the National
Anthem.
"Agriculure" was .proposed in a
neat and comprehensive speech by
Mr. S. B. Stothers, district repre-
sentative, and responded to by Prof.
Day of the 0. A .0., Guelph. Prin-
cipal Reynolds - was to have been
present but being , unavoidably de-
tained, Prof. Day came in his stead.
Mr. J. A. McConvry of London, was
also present and made a brief speech.
"Huron Central Agricultural So-
ciety" was proposed by the president,
Mr. H, C. Cox, Messrs. Wm, Me -
Ewan Arid Thos. McMillan respond -
i a'g.
"Tire Ladies" was proposed by Dr.
3, W. Shaw and; as an innovation
the response was made by a member
of the gentler sex, Mrs. II. B. Combo,
who in her maiden speech proved that
women, contrary to common belief,
are quite capable of speaking :for
themselves. • Mrs. Combo congratu-
lated the toaslanaster on his wisdom
in choosing so able a man as the
worthy doctor to propose the toast.
She congratulated the women pros•
ant that the clay had come when num
was taking his rightful place as the
",peer" of woman, instead of her
"superior" and lleclared that the
influence of woman in the political,
religious and. social life of the nation
meant progress and development.

BOARD DINE TOGETHER.
Folinwing an annual" custom the
retiring board'df the Clinton Public
Hosptial and as many of the stall as
could be present, held its little ban -
allot on Tuesday evening, The little
gathering is u'kually' held in the hos•
pital dining room but this. ,year the
staff has been so busy that it seem-
ed impossible ,to .get a suiIiciently
free day so Mrs, T. Mason kindly
opened her home. The supper and
the social hour together of 'the lad-
ies who have worked together dur-
ing the past yep" to further the in-
terests of the hospital were enjoyed
and appreciated.
MEMBER. OF NEW COMPANY.
From a (half -page ad. of the Lon-
don Motors, Limited, appearing in
Friday's issue of The London Free
Press, the genial face of our towns-
man, Mr, H. Bartliff, looks out at us,
he being one of the directors and a
member of the newly -appointed ex-
ecutive, Mr. G. W. Pinner, Mr,
Bartliff's brother-in-law, is second
vice-president, Mr. Bartliff has long
been interested in automobiles and
now that he has disposed of his bak-
ery and confectionery business he
will have more time to devote to
pushing the sale of them. The Lon-
don Motors are putting a new car
on the market, the "London Six,"
HAS BOUGHT BUSINESS.
The following item from last
week's issue of The Simcoe Reformer
will be read with interest by Clinton
citizens. Mr, Davison recently sold
his business here to Messrs, Corless
& Venner and has since been taking
it easy. We shall regret losing the
fancily from town but wish them suc-
cess and prosperity in Norfolk's
County town,
"The transfer in proprietorship of
the largest hardware establishment
in the county is a very recent piece
of news. The purchaser is Mr. W.
H, Davison, who comes from Clinton,
Mr. Boyd's reason for selling is the
conviction that he should take a holi-
day. We understand that stocktak-
ing began this morning and that as
soon as it is conmpleted Mr, Davison
begins possession."

fray took place at Wingham on
Thursady night, or rather Friday
morning, when Albert Loutitt was
shot by W. G., Patterson, The shoot-
ing occurred in the Tatter's house and
the story of the man who did the
shooting was that he thought Loutitt
was a burglar. The wounded man
was taken to the hospital and Pat-
terson was placed under arrest•, A
trial is to be held today. Loutitt
has so far recovered from his wound
as to be able to leave the hospital.
EARLY CHICKENS,
Talking about early chickens, Miss
Jessie Murphy of Goderich township
carries off the palm this year as far
as we can find out for early chickens,
having had a filmic come off on Feb.
25th. It is a good thing for the
chickens that this happens to be a
mild Winter or we fancy the poor
things would feel somewhat reproach.
ful for being brought into the world
so early in the season, However, if
they live and thrive they will have
some cause to feel superior toward
even early March chicks,

A SUCCESSFUL PARTY.
On Monday evening the Citizens'
Band gave a skating party in the
rink and, as is usually the case when
the band takes anything up, it was
a great success.
The ice was not firstclass, but con-
sidering the `season, was very good,
and the crowd left nothing to be de-
sired. As many as could still swing
a skate and could find it pair of
skates, put them on and went " with
the multitude", and triose who for any
reason couldn't skate, looked on.
Of course the music was good. In
fact, there was almost one continuous
"band", about double the usual num-
ber being put on.
Refreshments were served, E. Wen-
ded being in charge of the restau-
rant, and altogether a very pleasant
evening was arranged for and was
enjoyed.
The Band will use the funds for
their Owls improvement,
