CAN'T GET CARS. .t. Ontario pretty generally is suffer- ing from car shortage and for that reason trade even in Huron is be- ing considerably hampered. In the matter of apples alone Mr. D. Can- telon has several hundred barrel at four points of shipment which he is unable to get way for want of cars. The delay is making the Ap- ple King uneasy for the season for frost is close at hand. And, too, not being able to ship quickly pre- vents him from making as extensive purchases as lie otherwise would which works back on the grower who in many cases has an abundance of good fruit -which he is unable to market. ' . THEY ARE SAYING. Mayor Gibbings should be given an- other term by acclamation. Mr. Hugh 16. Rorke will make a tactfill and capable chairman of the school board, Mr. S. Kemp has proved to be the right itnan in the right place as chairman of the works committee of the school board and as text year there will probably have to be con- siderable building, his skill as drafts- man will make his services of spec- ial value, It 'would be a good idea to have the taxes collected twice yearly in- stead of once. Under Prof. 13ristowe's leadership the choir or Willis church cootinues to he one of the best choirs in Clin- ton. The confirmation class in St.. Paul's church last Sunday was the largest in the history of the church The town council of 1912 should not pass out .without securing an- other industry for Clinton.

Misses Clara Iloltzhauer, 'Grace Walker, Carrie Shipley and Lou .Stevens each read a paper setting forth the scriptural reasons for the system and the bene- fits derived from an observance of the same. A discussion followed in which many took part and in which many points were brought out, A question drawer was also a feature, the questions being' answered by the pastor, During the evening Mr. Linn of Toronto sang a couple of solos very acceptably, being accompanied by Mr. Thompson, also of Toronto, the composer of the music, Next week the League meeting will be held on Tuesday evening on account of the, Jubilee supper at Turner's church. The Citizenship department will be in charge. • The pastor on Sunday evening preached -a special hermon to the young mn and young women, choos- ing for his text the words : "So teach up to number our days that we may apply our hearts unti wis- dom." The address was plain and practical and the speaker admonish- ed the young people to make prepar- ations during the years of youth for a happy, peaceful and honorable. age, with the memory of a well -spent life behind. He also advised his hearers not to seek the easy places, but to be willing to bear a fair share .of the burdens and responsibilities of life. The choir rendered appropriate music.

HEAR THE MOCK TRIAL. A promilienr citizeii" chweged -with trifling with a lady's affections. —For some time' it is alleged, one 1 of our prominentcitizens has paid ' more or less attention to a young ' lady of this town. He now claims Ithat he was not serious in his in- tentions • and that he was not at- tached to her, , but, however that I may have been the lady became at- tached to him, and as he teems to , have lost interest in the matter she has attached his property, which is a form of attachment that he does not enjoy. The result is, that he finds himself the defendent in a first !class Breach of Promise case and his questionable attitude towards the I lady will be given an airing in the , near future. The parties in the case are so prominent that it is feared no court room will hold the Ivast crowd desirous of attending the ! trial, so it will be held in the, town hall, on Tuesday everting, December 3r0, under the auspices et' the Clin- ton Lawn Bowling Club, to whose !benefit the proceeds will be devoted. I In oilier words,it will be a mobk 1 Court Trial, and it promises .to be !, one of the most -enjoyable affairs of I many years as a large number of our leading people will* participate in ithe proceedings.

Mr. 'rhos. Cottle, who represents Huron, Grey and Bruce on the dir- ectorate of the Ontario Horticultural Society, speaks enthusiastically of the big tlolver and fruit show held in Toronto laht week which he says was better than ever before, more largely attended, the interest .an - neatly increasing. The outstanding feature, Mr. Cot- tle says, was the exhibit made by the Fruit Growers' Association of the county of Norfolk which attracted the admiring atten- tion of every Visitor to the show and was thus a splendid advertise- ment for 'Norfolk. It also won the bulk of the prizes and the fruit was afterwards sold, at fancy pricee. The admirable placing of the Nor- folk exhibit by a Fruit Growers' As- sociation, which also handles the output of the members and cares for their interests in general, convinced Mr. Cottle that the growers' in This county will rot obtain the best re- sulth ,until they form a similar or- ganization. ' . As for the exhibit fromthis coolly it seems to have been a_grteat dis- appointment. 3.11e general opinion is that it did not do credit to Hur- on.' SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM. The commencement exercises in con- nection with the Collegiate thetit- ute on 'rine:Way evening last were more successful than tieual. 'rhe pro- gram, which was prepared and pre- sented tinder the direction of Miss May Rance, was varied and interest- ing, and was something entirely out of the ordinary in connection with commencement exercises in Clinton A couple of little comedies were giv- en, the parts being taken, and very creditably, by C. C. I. students. A sunflower drill by sixteen C. C. I. girls was very pretty, the girls be- ing dressed , in yellow' and each carry- ing a large sunflower. A chorus drill was also very pretty. Four C. C. I. boys sang a quartette in fine voice and were loudly applauded. Misses Jean Chidley and May Rance were accompanistes. Rcv. C. E. Jeakins, chairman of the board, oc- cupied the chair. So well did everyone who had ' a part to do perform that part that -it would hardly be fair to mention names, But those wlio had in hand the' wotle-.1..ptenating the program are to be heartliY;'"'emigtatulated upon its Success. So many were unable to obtain ad- initance to the hall on the evening of the original entertainment that it was decided to repeat the per- formance on Friday evening, a charge of ten cents being made.
