VICTORIA DAY.
Saturday will be observed as a
holiday in Clinton consequently the
husiness places will be clostd. In
some • cd the surrodinfing towns Mon-
day will be the holiday observed, but
as banks and business offices general-
ly will close on the proper date,
_Saturday, it will cause less confus-
ion Lor all to take., the same holiday
and Vitoria Day only conies one° a
year. The Piobability is that mer-
aants and business men will not be
any worse off, for when it is known:
that -Saturday will- be observed as a
holiday those intending to do shop-
ping .on that day will de it Friday
and arrange to "go ilshin' " on
Saturday instead. The •"24th"
holds a warm place in the affections
of all Canadians; the -reason being,
probably, that Coraing as it 'does in
the beginning of the summer it is
a sort of a foretaste of what that
blessed season holds in store. Any-
way, here's to the 24th—may the
day be fine and 'each boy and girl,
old or young, eigh ee poor, realize
a full and overflowing share of real
enleyment, on this coming anniver-
sary of the birthday , of _that queen-
liest of tvomen and womanliest of
queens, 'Victoria the Good,','
A GOOD MAN CALLED.
Tiplady, a wollienawn resid-
ent of tide locality for over forty
years and of Clinton for the past
two or three, slipped away into the
better country on Stulday last at the
good old age of nearly eighty-six
years. El death was not so much:
the result of disease as of a natur-
al wearing out of the human -frame
and the end came peacefully, just as
a tired child falls asleep:- On the
morning of his death he conversed
with those ' about him, his mind
clear and apparently in his uhual
state of 'health, but about noon he
complained bf being tired and settled
himself to rest awhile and in a few
minutes later the spirit had fled.
During his failing years he was ten-
derly Oared ter by his daughter, Mrs.
Wray, and other members of his
family, who were unwearying in their
attentions to hitn.
The late Mr. Tiplady was a native
of Yorkshire, Englend, and came to
Canada in 1851, first -Settling in
Whitby township; Ontario, county,
where he Jived for twenty years and
where ke was married, his wife being
Mith Pagett, who died nine years
age. In 1871 ther castle to Huron
county and settled on the Base Line
a short distance north of town,
where they continued to reside until
Mrs. Tiplady , was called away, and
where he remained with his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Wray, until they niched to
town a couple of years ago.
The late Mr. Tiplady -was a efe-
long gethodist and ,ntas e member Of
the 'Ontario street eliarch, which
services he was always glad to at-
tend until his health and hearing
failing he was unable to enjoy them,
He was a quiet and unassuming
man, kindly and .,syrepathetic, one
who loved his home and his family
and whose pleasure was found in the
quiet enjoyment of them:
A family of five survive, twe
daughters ,and theee sons : Mes. Jam-
es Cornish of the Base Line, and
Milo d. W, Wray, of town, William
and Ralph Tiplady of town ^ and John
Tiplady of the Base Line, One Oroth-
en Mr. David Tiplady, also of town,
IS now the only surviving member of
the original family of six, these two
, being the only ones who came to
this country, ,
The funeral took place on Tue,iday
afternoon from the resideve of his
daughter, Mrs. Wray, Princess street,
the services being conducted by the
Rev. S. J AIIs. The allbearers
wore old \friends and fellow-memners
of the church to whieli he belonged :
,James Stevens, John Govett, Henry
Plurnsteel, Harrismi Wiltse, and John
and , Thos. Cibbin-gs The funeral
was attended by -many of his old

LECTURE ON TUESDAY.
It Is said that six people die
every day in Ontario of tuberculosis.
This being the case the thorough un-
derstanding of this diseake, the caus-
es which develop it, how to pre-
vent it and how to treat it should

be given in' the town liall on Tues-
day evening next by Mr. J. B. Wat-
son, field secretary of the Society
for the Prevention of Tuberculosis,
who will ilustrate his lecture with
lantern views. the lecturer is hup-
posed to tell exactly what the die-.
ease is, how to avoid it and how to
treat it, and thecee anputd he a good
attendance of those who wislt to
add to their 'knowledge along • these
lines. The adsuisSion is free. • A col-
lection will be taken during the ev-

The Hyman babel:nil team, said to
be the best in London, will play the
local nine here on Saturday after-
noon,' the game' to be called at 1,45.

THE, C. E. DR9VE AN OX TEAM.
• ,
Here • is a story concerning Mr.
Chas, Whitehead of • Brandon, • for-
merly of Clinton, (son of the late
Joseph Whitehead), which is abso-
lutely _ true, and which has not,' we
believe, been in print before. Mr.
Whitehead, sr., was a well known
tailway* contractor ; Charles was a
civil engineer who • generally helped
Inc father carry out Inc contracts.
While Working on a AM road in Nova
Scotia some years ago, they quarrel-
led,, and Charles left his father arid
headed for home. He landed in To
onto with barely enough money to
buy 'e Pair of overalls. The Michi-
gan Central Railway was then being
built in south-weeteen Ontario, r and
he managed; to make his way there,
securing a job as driver of a yoke of
oxen thatwe're being used in connec-
tion with the excavation, One day
while thus ' engaged a party of offi-
(tiers, came along to inspect trievork,
.and were discussing the- best way 'to
overcome a small stream that ran a-
long the railway embankment, cam.:
lug considerable trouble. • The rem-
edy suggested by them involved
eonsiderable labor and seemed so
absurd to Mr. Whiteheadthat he
blurted out what' appeared to him a
much easier and better plan. The offic-
ials were surprised itha,t apparently an
ordinary laborer should know more
about such things than they did, and
one of them sae Who ale you any-
how, that you should pretend to
know so much about it?" "Just at
present," said Mr. Whitohead,
the driver of a bull team of oxen;
under other circumstances 1 am
Charles Whitehead, COO1 E`ngineer.''
When the efficials could in:cover ,their
breath,' one of then' said You reeve
that bull team and report at head-
quarters, and we'll give you a lob
that is more in keeping with your ab-
ility.'' It is needlethe to add Mr.
Whitehead did as he bas told and
proved his worth.

On Sunday evening last the pastor
reminded the' congregation that the
day was being observed throughout
the world generally as "Peace Sun-
day and he made the question of
"Peace" the subject of his diseourse.
During the offertory Mrs. B. J. Gib-
bings and Miss Fernie Arlin sang the
duett, "God is near thee,"

ing that children passing along the
