This is the only mill in • the Dominion which makes this class of hose. FRIDAY'S DANCE. A number of the young matrons and maids of town gave a dance in the town hall on Friday even'ng which proved to be a most enjoyable one. The invitations were unique, being sent out from the "Clinton Suffragette Association," and very few who were favored with one failed to ac- cept. The brilliant music, pretty gowns for the "suffragettes" and their friends do rot underestimate the value of pretty gowns, and a similitude of good dancers, all combined to make the affair pass off pleasantly. A buffet luncheon was served at eleven 0 - clock and the dancing was kepi up 101' 5101715 time after that. ST. PAUL'S CHURCH. Rev, Canon Crhig of St. John's church, London, for eleven years rector of St. Paul's, preached two ex- cellent sermons to good congregations on Senday. Many of thoie who re- membered him welt as rector were present to hear him but still, so many elnInges do a score of yeaes' make in a congregation and it was like preaphing to a strange one for Canon Craig, ex- cept for a familiar fare here and there. Prof. Wright will have charge of the services on Sunday next and uti- til the new rector arrives. The Guild will hold their regular Mputhly tea on Monday afternoon next the school room PROGRESSIVE. Mr. C. G. Middleton, Jr., whose Cann adjoins the coporation and whose residence is about three hundred yards from the line, now has not only his house but his barns electrically light, ed. De has as well a lamp at the front gate, controlled by a switch in the house. Mr. Middleton purposes, when the hydro system is, rightly installed, to iese electricity tor power purposes to churn, run the washing machine, cut straw, etc. This indicates a pro- gressiveness of which The NewseRecordi is pleased to take rote and sets an example that others will ee doubt follow. 111 a few yeaes the Clinton hydro plant will be furnishing light and power to many tanners not too far distant from town.

To th_s Editor of Tuz News -Record, Dear Sir,—We have read in your pa- per of last week Rev. Mr. Wylie's !et - ter in regard to the conduct of the crowd on the 020R0i011 Of the Goder- ich—Clinton hockey match in your town, and we wish to state most on - piratically that. the statements he makes are outrageously exaegerated and their general spirit grossly un- true. It is a shameful thing that a man—let a'one a clergy man—sliould be responsible for Stich a piece of wholesale slander. As officers ot 'the Goderich hockey team, who , know -What they are talking about, SVC state that Mr, Wylie's; censure, so far as it may be held' to refer to members of this team, is absolutely and wholly undeserved. We are not reaponsible for the conduct of, the crowd, but if Mr. Wylie saw, or thought he saw, seven persons under the iafteence of limier he must himself have been "see- ing double." There were possibly two or Vireo and 110.1 07/0 OE 00111 con- ne6ted With the Goderich hockey 1011171. ‘,Ve resent the publication ol such a letter in a newspaper going' broadcast thgotigh the country. How would Mr. Wylie likb it if WO eireulat- cid a statement that a party of clergy- men, ot whom he was known to be one, had. IV/311 indulging in improper pra6- tices while away from home ? 'Our boys lia,ve just as much right to their good name as, Me, Wylie or anybody else. We trust you will give this letter equal prominmee in yotir columne with Mn. Wyll 35 ter of last week. We ere in d0fUl 'earnest, and we do not intend to have our team wantonly slandered. Yours very truly, IL T. EDWARDS, A. .G.

The new warden of Huron Comae', whose photogravure appears at the head of this column, is a native of Stoclerieh township but has been a res- ident of Clinton for well on to forty years. . He was a son of the late David Cantelon and was born on the old. homestead en the 9th con., the farm ROW owned and occupied by his bro- ther, Mr. Adam Cantelon. Coming to Clinton as a young man Mr. Cantelon went into the grocery' business, which he conducted until bought out by his brothers, Messes. Cantelon Bros. After this he devoted his entire time to dealing in apples and hogs. He was the first man ia this part of tha country to buy elp- pros for export and he has sucpeeded in building up quite a trade. 11 15 a good many years since Mr. Cantelon first began to take an in- terest in town politics and he sat at the council board for several years before he was elected a county- com- missioner, representing the munici- palities of Clinton, Goderich town- ship and Hallett. For three terms, of two years each, be represented these three municipalities at the county council, when a return was made to the old order of things and each municipality again had the priv- ilege of sending its °wit' represerile4- tee. For some Hine again lie served as a councillor, being returned on every, occasion on which lie offered himself This is his third successive term as reeve and so accustomed has he bfecome 10 the proceedings of the county council that he is almost as much at home there as sitting at the local • council board.

One woman, whose name.• was by 501115 1(611115 lat off the voters' list this year, was full al regret that she could at cast lier vote tor "Dave" whoin she had) always " supported. Happily, for both, the vote was not needed as his majority was sufficient without it, but she still was .sorry that she couldn't have added one more to the number. Mr. Cantelon declared this year that this was the last time he won't' of- fer himself as a candidate For reeve, sog it was fitting that, after sitting so long at the • board, he should oceue py the warden's chair beforo his re- tirement, and so his fellow -members of the county council seemed to view 11.
