In publishing the names of the contributors, to the 'British Red 'Cross last week 1 Mr, D. T:uilacly's subscription of $li.00 was inadver- tently omitted. This was entirely due to an oversight and quite en n- tentional. An anonynotts subscription of $1.00 was found in one of the boxes placed for the reception of contributions fcr the Women's 'Patriotic' Society. and was handed to the secretary of the Red Cross fund on Monday. AWARDED MIid'C'ARY CROSSES. Dr. Harold Taylor, son oi__Dr, and Mrs. Taylor of Goderich and grand son of Mrs. Keri of Victoria street,, Clinton, has been awarded the Mil- itary C''ross for conspicuous bravery on the battle field. Uhler heavy enemy fire he went out oAa ;.;i ;ted and dressed the wounds of a young subaltern,, who could not otherwise have been removed from where he lay. Pr. Chrtstian, son of Mrs. Chris- tian, riy-tian, and brother of ilts. Gaudier of town, was also lately. given the mil- itary cross for a similar act of cool- ness and self -forgetfulness in the faze of danger. All the bravery is not displayed: by those whose business it is to fight, just as much is often shown by, those whose ministry is to heal. MARRIED IN TORONTO. On October 20th the marriage took place in Toronto of Mr. Wilson El- liott of Clinton to Miss Jessie Hal- bert of Troche Valley, Alberta, who came from her western home to meet him there. The happy couple spent a week visiting ,l friends in Toronto and Brampton and arrived in Clinton on Friday last. They have taken up housekeeping oil Her- on street. Mr. Elliott, who spent several. years in the west, returned to. Clin- told 'n December t t e of last•1 ear ,nil y went into the wood working and int-: element agency 'business i11 what is still best known in Clinton as the Leslie stand. During the past sum-' mer he has greatl3u improved the premises and is building, up quite a successful trade, The friends of the fa -frilly, extend congratulations to h'Ir, Elliott and his bride and wish them happiness and prosperity. ONTARIO'S REAM' IS RIGI•I'r. "The .i he Province of Ontario's re- sponse to the appeal of the British Red Cross has resulted in the subscription of $1,400,000, up to date, with a large number of mun- icipalities yet to report. In addition to the county grant of $211,503, Huron County's contribu- tions up to the present as reported to the central committee, Parliament Wigs., 'T'o'ronto, arc as follows • Hay township .,. ,$1200400..

A six o'clock Hallowe'en dinner, served wills true fallowo'eu lavishness, was followed by. a visit to the Princess Theatre.
