Master Tom Jackson, soa of Mr. and Mrs. P, Jacksou of town, has been vert ill during the past week witli, pneumonia and for a time his parents were, very anxious about him, but he is improving, It Is hoped his recovery now will. be rapid a.na com- plete. HAS EXTENSIVE INTER,SISTS. Col. Hoare, the well known music dealer of teem, was in Toronto on business last week. Mr. Hoare is recognized as a pushing and energetic business men who has worked up an extensive trade, but we fancy it will be news to many to know that he does considerable business in Toronto, and makes a number of sales of pianos and other ' musical instru- ments there, THE, PEOPLE'S PAPER WELCOME In writing to relies', his sub. to The People's Paper for 1918 a sub- scriber from another town says : "The Nows-Record is Me a letter from home each week, We wouldn't like to be without it", Auother, who has been absent from, Clinton for a longer period writes : ot am enclosing a reaewal of my sub. for 1918. Although we have been away Drone the old town for ,the past twelve years yet we like ,80 keep in touch with what /13 goiag on there. Wishing you a prosperoue new year." THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION. Mr. R. J. MillerOseaded the polls on elondep, as he did, last year, only by a larger, lead, *Ur. Slider has time to devote to municipal affairs and as he takes a keen interest in the town's business the people are convinced he makes a good represen- tative at the council board. Mr. Bert Langford, who just miss- ed election last year, came; in second. The vote polled by him was some- thing ,el a surprise to mem'as he's new in the municipal field, but "Bert" is a good fellow, is liked by his friends and will no doubt make a good councillor. Mr. A. T. Cooper, who is no nov- ice in municipal affairs, having serv- ed at the comma board for several terms, was third in the race. Er. Cooper was nominated for mayor and for reeve as well as for councillor but preferred to enter the Contest as a councillor. Nothing which effects Clinton is uninteresting to Mr., Coop- er, He'll make a good civic. ser- vant. Mr. H. Wiltse has utuncrous friends in Clinton who would feel that there was something wrong it the had not a seat at the council board,. Hs has had much experience in municipal af- fairs, is a good anancter, has excel- lent judgment and his presence on the town's executive is considered el A ad- vantage to the teem. Mr. J. P. Sheppard Is a busy man, his ever-growing business demanding more and more of his time. But nevertheless, beteg public-spirited and taking a real interest in the welfare of tho town, he manages to spare time to give attention to municipal matters. He has little time to de- vote to canvassing, however,, and the vote polled for him an Monday was evidence of the, confidence the people have in him. Murray lIMEwan,, who has had but one year's experience as a couacillor, polled a gook' vote, Mr. Menlwaa is naturally quiet. He doesn't make a "big noise" about anything but he, has plenty of Mende, as the, polling on Monday proved, . who believe in his abilltp, and they gave him good support, Theabove six constitute the coun- cil for 1,918, Mr. W. J. Paisley polled a larger vote this year than he did 'lest but still failed to get among the first six, Only three of the candidates last year polled over two hundred votes while the whole six councillors went over the two hundred otark this year, Mr, Paisley was not so atec- ious to win that he will lose any sleep over losing, however, Being the people's representative is no cinch. No pay and less thanks. Mr. W. J. Nediger polled a good averlagh vote, too, pulling a strong vote iu his own ward, but somebody had to fall behind. It may be that the electors thought Mary' street was too well represented in last year's council, no rawer then tour councillors and the recite having theft residences on that thotoughtate. Mr, he:diger is progressive, energetic and a worker. The °outlet]) would bave been the stronger, pollees, had he been included, but he will no donlit come back another year anal efronger than over, Efe (lid not put in much time canvassing. Mr. T.

The coal situation was discussed somewhat, the mayor remarking that; the outlook was not yet very bright, Two ears had been promised !luring their recent rime to Buftalo and two cars had now arrived in Clinton, Ho thought things had loosened up a l i t t l re., Mr. Sheppard said lie had.been ask- edby, the Clinton band to' express to the council the thanks of tint body for the donation granted them for the replating and repairing of their iastruments,a grant which had, been well expendd. Mr. Wiltse expressed his sympathy with the two defeated members but reminded them that it was', not the first tinie good men had fallen ,by the way. "We have had," continued Mr, Wiltse, "during the past year a very harmonious council," Following Mr, 'Wiltse each of the re-elected members spoke his regret that the two retiring members were not returned, as all had worked to- gether so well during the past year. Mr. Nediger, one of the members who did not quite reach the goal this time, ie replying to the kind Worlds of his fellow-councillots said that he had endeavored to be fair and honest toward h's fellowenem- Mrs and had also tried to do .is duty thy the electors. Had he been re-elected he would, haveibeeit pleased to sit for mother term . but hoped the new members would prove to be better public servants, Mr. Paisley, the other councillor who had lagged a, trifle in the race, thanked his fellow -members for the kind words spoken, "Having no axe to grind I have no regrcte," said Mr. Palelep, "and I hope the new men will be good members, T shoul'l have lilted to atm the old council te- turned by acclamation hitt es that was not to be and the people, bete spoken I am quite ready to step down."
