In. spite of the cry of "hard times" The Courier Presser:trotted, Toronto, publishers of Thq Courier, of which` weekly Mr. John, A. Cooper, brother of Mr. A. T. Cooper of town, is edi- tor, have brought out a new publica- tion called "The Daily Courier." it is an afternoon paper, is, about the size and makeup of the weekly of the same name:, contains ordinary news, racy comments on current events, etc. and is profusely illustrated. The pub- lishers probably saw the field for such a publication and it will no doubt command a fair share of patronage both inside and outside the city bor- ders. LATE GARDEN STUFF. The season of 1914 has: been a some- what remarkable one M Ontario with regard to vegetation. Never in the memory of the "oldest inhabi- tant" have there been so many, se- cond crops of garden stuff and fruit, large and woll formed raspberries be- ing still ,plentiful on the bushes in many gardens when the snow storm came the beginning of, last week. Yes- terday Mr. Ed. Carter brought into The News -Record office some green [peas, fine, large well developed pods, which he said were the result of the third crop for the season. Old Ob - tart°, and especially Huron county is hard to beat. THE HONOR ROLL.

On Monday alit:a:- noon same of the members enjoyed a game on the green and the same ev- ening, in the office of the prestleat, Mr. W. Jackson, .the members gather• - ed and made a presentation to Mr. John Watt, who is not only an en- thusiastic player hut who has had charge of the green during the sea - eon and has kept it in such perfeet order, Mr. W.

The fol- lowing is the address : Mr. John T.

Seldom, if e'er before hav& we been able to play from the middle of May until the last of Oetober, almost half a year, and that we were able to do so this year is entirely due to the care, pains and unflagging interest which you have demted to your du- ties as caretaker, Not only has the 'season never been se long but the greens have never been so good, and,, besides the pleas:me of being able to play: the game ourselvesundee most _favorable gjactunstance,s, we have tak- en no ere:MT-pride hi entertaining vis- iting clubs upon greens which could not be surpassed anywhere in the Pro- vince.

Hydro: is steadily growing in favor in Clinton, which is probably the case in every IONVO where it is tried. We take from the Superintendent's nooks a few.examples of the coot of lighting in business places under the old rate and under Hydro which may, prove en- lightening : Ne. 1 for October under Hydro, $1.67, under the old rate, $3:46 ; No. 2; under Hydro, $2.43, old rair, $3.25.

' NO HARM DONE, Nothing very startling or of a dame iag caracter is reportel as having taken place On Saturday, Halowe'en, night, though hoards of small boys and girls were abroad during the ear- lier pall of the, evening looking for fun. A few old fenees were disturbed; some steps removed from.their rightful Places and the school bell was rung violently a couple of times. The boys were, of course, responsible for such tricks as these, the ,gtris eon:tenting themselves principally with paying neighborly calls disguised in all, sorts of disguises and recognizable only bp their merr313 voices, whiph they ceuld not keep whelly quiet. Hallowe'en continues' to be regarded as the "night for fun" by the youngsters and se long as the Om, 18 innocent and not de- structire not M11011 eXCOPtion to their nranks will be taken, TUE LATE MRS. SMYTH On Friday week Mrs, R. Marshall returned from Kingston where for three weeks she helped nurse her mother, Mrs. A. Smith, whe, had been very 131. When Mrs. Marshall left her mother wee es well as usual, but the following day she passed sud- denly away. The British Whig of Kingston had the following reference to the deceased lady : "On Sanadajt, afternoon, the sad death occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. K. Carroll, Univer- sity 'avenue, of Sarah Birmingham, wife of Axelithald Smyth. The de3eased was bore near South Lake 801'- 011V -sum years ago.

Whitney of Lethbridge, Alta.: Mrs. Robt 'Marshall, Clinton ; Mrs. W. J. Driver, Mrs. 'W. C. Speneer and Ws. J. K. Carroll, and one son, alt of the city. The funeral service was concluded by Re:V. T. W. Savary =Monday afternoon at three o'clock. The remains were inteered in Cetera - qui cemetery." ' THE INTEREST TS KEEN. The Women's Patriotic and Relief Society held their regular meeting in the council chamber on Friday atter - noon, large members being in atteu- dance, twenty-one new members being earolled, The total membership now reaches 154 and the ladies are taking up the work with enthusiasm; and a full realization of its importance. A representative ' of the Noethern Al- uminum Company, wae present at the last meeting and each lady was pre- sented with a sample of the ware. All ladies who desire to assist in the work which the Soeiety is doing are urged to join as soon .as possible so that a large bale may be ready foe shipment the third week in Novem- ber. all wishing to obtain material for work may procure same by ap- plication to the following : Knitting material, Sifts, E.Munro ; material for bed sex, Mrs, Clutet ; Pyjamas, night shirts and day shirts, Mrs. T, Mason.

WE SIX" DANCE, The •dance given by "We Ste" in the .tOwn hall on Friday evening was a very enjoyable affair, It was quite informal, the heats wero mostatten- tive and all spent a pleasant hay hours togethet. THE LIGHT MOVED. Seine time ago an electric light was placed at the south end of the Lon- don Road bridge with the Onderstand- ing, by at least a portion of . the council, that the county counoil -Would defray the expeese. The 0,e, appar- ently thinks otherwise so the lighb will be moved to Bezzo's corner. SHIPPING APPLES. Among those who have shipped ap- ples td the wept the past week were Mr. Will Jenkins of Holmeseille and Reeve Lobb of Goderich township, the farmer sending one car load and the latter two.

The meetings will be held weekly, Tuesday evenings, until aftee Christmas when probably they will occur oftener. PASSING OF MRS. 0E0, MATR.

He came to Whitby township, Ontario Pounty, where his brother William had locat- ed about five years previously, For eighteen years they farmed there about six miles north of the town of ()him- wa, They did well, too, and succee l- ed in saving some money, but land was dear and they decided to come on to Heron and procure farms of their Own having been venting land in Whitby. They came up to G04e1'- 1031 to look at some land but it did not suit them and they were return- ing and stopped in Clinton oveemight.

Hallowe'en continues' to be regarded as the "night for fun" by the youngsters and se long as the Om, 18 innocent and not de- structire not M11011 eXCOPtion to their nranks will be taken, TUE LATE MRS.
