Live hogs have surely reached the limit, $20,25 being the priee paid on the Clinton market duringlhe past week, This is the highest price ever paid here, and it seems to put pork in the luxury class, all right. Bacon and eggs and buttered toast, which used to be considered an ordinary breakfast, can now only he Indulged in by the favored few. Y,M.C.A. MAN HERE. On Tuesday evening Capt. Lampton of the Y.M.C.A. addressed -a num- ber of leading citizens in the council chamber regarding the advisability of putting -on a campaign in, Clinton for the raising of funds for the ex- tension of the work of the Associa- tion. No definite arrangements were made and another meeting will be held on Tuesday evening next. Hens WELL AND THANKFUL, Mr, M. G. Ransford, who leaves the Clinton General Hospital this week after undergoing surgical treatment there for some weeks, wishes to ex- press his sincere appreciation of the kindness of doctors, . nurses and friends during his illness. Mr. Rens- ford speaks in the highest terms of the care given him. He is very rap- idly recovering and his friends hope soon to see him going about at his usual duties. Mr. and Mrs, ,D. Livermore have moved to Huron street, Mr. T. I. Britton, has had a neat awning put up over ,his shop front, Mrs, J'. S. Miller has taken the Rapson cottage on North street., The Girls' Auxiliary will serve af- ternoon tea in the Agricultural of- fices on Saturday in aid of the Hos- pital. Saturday is to he Horticultural Day when a determined "drive" will be made to reach the objective in the way of membership. The decorators are busy this week putting the constable's office into shape. EXPRESSMEN STILL OFF. ' The local agent of tine • Canadian Express Co., was notified the other day that an agent would be on a certain train but on going down to meet him for the transaction of bus- iness no representative was found. This is the second time that a re- presentative of the Company has gone up the line but was not in evidence on the down trip. What becomes of him the local agent does not know. IIe may jump into the lake when he gets to Goderich. In the meantime no express is moving and many people, are seriously handi- capped in the transaction of their ordinary business, HIS PASSING A LOSS. The late R. J. Richardson, B.A., of Stanley township, whose obituary notice appears elsewhere in this paper, was a graduate of the Clin- ton Collegiate Institute, and was no doubt one of the most brilliant scholars who ever graduated from that institution. Ilad not his health demanded the giving up of his career there was every promise that he would have risen high in ]tis chosen calling. But aside altogether from his scholarly attainments Mr. Rich- ardson was a man worth ]snowing. He was kindly and human and was possessed of a sense of humour` and a certain kindly though quizzical in- sight into character which marked him as anything but a common man, Albeit he was as modest and unas- suming as a m could well be. In an o businessrelations with him 08 clerk t of the township of Stanley The News - Record always found him a most courteous gentleman, In the parsing of R. J. Richardson the whole com- nninity is the poorer, BOWLING. t The annual meeting of the Clinton Lawn Bowling Club took place in the council chamber on Monday ev '' ening last and the following mem- bers were elected officers of the As- sociation : Honorary President, W.

Mr.. Rowell had resided in Chicago for a number of years, whore he was connected with one of the large dry goods houses. He was in his filth year. The remains were taken to Toronto for interment, ST.ANDREW'S WARD ORGANIZED The meeting called for the resi- dents of St. Andrew's ward on Fri day evening resulted in the atten- dance of several of the leading rate- payers of that 'quarter of the town. 1n association was formed with. Dr. Shaw as president and Ole. J. W. Treleaven as secretary and a number of improvements veru suggested and discussed. Some recommendations will be tirade to council. Meetings for the residents of the other three wards will be called shortly. A REST ROOM. Mr, S. B. Stotlters, Iluron's Ag- ricultural Representative, is offering the use of his front office as a rest room for women from the country who are in town shopping, etc. There has .been a sort of a general movement amongst townspeople to supply some such place where women might go when through • with the day's business and in many towns different societies have opened rest rooms, which have been mnc11 appre- ciated. This office is the natural rendez- vous of farmers anyway, and as It is always open during business hours, with a young lady in charge, we have no doubt it will prove popular as a gathering place for their fam- ilies when they are in town. A SUDDEN DEATH. NIr. C. Witts received word on Monday of the sudden death of• his sister, Miss L. K. Witts of Brant - lord, and just had time to catch the train for that place. He returned in the evening bringing the body with him. The late Miss Witts had been . a resident of Brantford for several years past, being for the past thir- teen employed as' governess in the family of Dr, and Mrs. Marquis. She had not been ill and was expected in Ester vaca- tion., to spend the a Clinton } tion. I3er death occurred as she went about her usual duties, Miss Witts is survived by one sis- ter, Mrs, Gen. Potts of Sioux Look-' out, and oite brother, Mr. 0, Witts of town, from whose residence the fun- eral took place yesterday afternoon.

Before noon all entries were made and things began to put on quite an air of activity. At two o'clock the parade formed in front of tho Gra- ham House and, headed by the Kiltie Band, marched up to the postoftice square, where the judging commenced. It was a goodly parade, too. There may on some former occasions have been a larger exhibit of horses but it was generally conceded that never before was there a better class of animals gathered together in Clinton than that exhibited last. Thursday. The ladies' driving contest excited the keenest interest during the day. It was closely contested, ltIrs. Oscar Tebbutt of Holmesville carrying off the prise, a handsome brass hot wat- er kettle donated by W. H. Ilellyar. This contest alwayt creates a lot of interest and the ladies all handled the ribbons very skilfully. Mrs. George Dale of Constance won second prize and Miss Green of Hensall, third. • • • Ex -Warden Elliott was one of the visitors in Clinton for the show and remained over for the banquet in the evening. • •. • By the way, that championship contest brought together abopt as fine a bunch of horses as one would care to see. • • • The Dale brothers of Mullett were heavy exhibitors and were competi- tors in a friendly contest for the championship prize for the best col- lections of horses, the prize being won by Mr. W. A. Dale. It is mat- ter for congratulation that this prize was won by a Clinton man. * • • It is gratifying to know that though, the exhibitors came from far and near the townships surrounding Clin- ton carried off a goodly share of prizes. inhere are a number of en- terprising stock owners in -this vicin- ity, and, indeed, the whole of Huron county is noted for its excellent stock. • • • The following is the list of prices Heavy Draft. -,-Stallion 3 years and over—Wm.

The toast "The King" was re- sponded to by all singing the nation- al anthem. "Canada and the.Empire" was pro- posed by Mr. R. E. Manning and re- sponded to by Mr. J. W. Treleaven, both of whom spoke eloquently. "Agriculture" proposed by Mr. S. 13. Stothers, Huron's Agricultural Representative, and responded to by, Mr. C. F.

Altogether the officers and direc- tors of the Clinton Central Agricul- tural Society are to be congratulat- ed upon the success of the spring show of 1919. LET US IIEAR FROM YOU I \Vhat is being done about a sol- diers' memorial in Clinton? the weeks are slipping by and people are wondering how the committee is getting on. In the meantime a good deal of enthusiasm is being allowed to evaporate and will not be avail- able wizen needed. We would re- spectfully suggest that the commit- tee bring forward its suggestions and let us get down to work. Detective Williams' Slayer Escapes Frank McCullough, • the slayer of Detective Frank Williams, who was awaiting his execution in the death cell in Don jail, Toronto, sawed through the bars, of the window and escaped, McCullough had been a model pris- oner arid was supposed to be quite resigned to his fate, The guard who was in charge. of the prisoner was said, in a letter received by the Tor- onto Star purporting to come from McCullough yesterday, to have been doped by him before he set to work. At last reports he is still at large. People You Know Mr, and Mrs. Nichol of Auburn were in town on Show Day,' Ole. H. E. Itorke was at Mtiverton on Monday evening on Masonic business. Mt.
