Murray, Goderich, and Hugh Hillis Keyes 'of Clinton, son of Mrs. Mary Keyes of Beach - burg, Ont. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. D. J. Lane. The bride wore a dainty and attractive grey ensem- ble and carried a bouquet of orchids and lilies of the valley. Her sister, Miss Grace Murray, was bridesmaid. She was gowned in white and bluo printed crepe and carried Talisnrar roses and valley lilies. Mr. Lyle Johnstone of Toronto was best man. At the conclusion of the ceremony the bridal party repaired to the home of the bride's mother, where the wed- ding luncheon was partaken of, a number of relatives and friends be- ing present. After the honeymoon, spent at London, Windsor and Detroit, Mr. and Mrs. Keyes will take up resi- dence for the summer at Bayfield. Mr. Keyes is assistant manager of Gunn's, Limited, Clinton, and his friends in town offer hearty congra- tulations and extend best wishes for a happy future. LITTLE LOCALS The schools close today for the Easter holidays. Tomorrow is Good Friday and a public holiday. Mr. Andrew Steep has purchased the Peter Centelon residence, Prin- cess street, and it is expected will shortly move into it. We have a memorial notice of a "dear wife and mother," but there is no name attached by which any one would know to whom it referred. Mr. A. W. Anderton was in Wing - ham on Thursday and Friday even- ings last putting on the Public school concerts, in the school in which he is musical instructor. Mrs. E. H. Wise, who ,has been quite ill at the home of her son, Mr. C. E. Wise, Goderich township, is now improving nicely, her friends will be glad to hear. Mr. H. J. Thomson sent into this office on Monday a russet apple which he had picked up in his orchard, it having lain there all winter, and it was in a good state of preservation. One member 'of the staff of an im- portant business in Clinton was mar- ried on Saturday last and, if Dame Rumor speaks true, the manager of the same concern will soon follow suit. A. couple sof other weddings Also are on tapis. "In the spring a young man's fancy---." AN ENJOYABLE CRUISE The following from a St. John, N. B., paper, regarding the docking there sof a passenger and freight steamer, on which a Clinton lady, Miss Delle O'Neil, has been enjoying a trip to the West Indies. There were about a dozen and a half of passengers and Miss O'Neil writes that the trip was a most delightful one. On going to Halifax Miss O'- Neil visited her brother, Mr. W. E. O'Neil, his wife and their little son: "The Canadian National steamship "vagabond cruiser" Chomedy, docked at Saint John at an early hour this morning, from Demerara, Trinidad and the Barbadoes, completing a cruise to the islands • of the British and French West Indies and other ports. The steamer brought a full complement of passengers and a largc quantity of freight. Part of this cargo was a large consignment of sugar for the refinery at Saint John, which was the reason for the steamer's call at thatport first in- stead of proceeding to her usual home port of Halifax. There was also a large shipment of raw sugar for the latter port, to which the Chomedy will proceed late this even- ing as soon as the Saint John cargo is discharged. From Halifax the steamer will sail 'on April 8 for the last south. bound voyage from a Maritime pro- vince • port during the present sea- son. On her next northbound trip the 'Ohomedy will sail direct to Mon- treal, this being the northern, ter minus during the season the St. Lawrence river is open to naviga- tion." aviga- tion" ! SNELL—JOHNSTON _ A quiet wedding took place yester- day evening at the Ontario street parsonage, when Rev. F. G. Farrill United in marriage Miss Emily Jane Johnston daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Johnston, and Mr, Humphrey Snell, all of Ilullett township. AN ECONOMY MOVE 1 One of the Government's economy meaesures is the cutting off of `as- sistant county representatives and Mr. IL L. Atkinson quits the service at the end of this -month. As the summer is a busy time in connection with this work and it had been plan- ned for two men, Representative MacLeod is going to have a busy time. We are glad to say that Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson are not leaving town just yet and only wish they might stay permanently, as they have made many friends during their sojourn here. A "MYSTERY" TEA The Mystery teaserved bythe y y Women's Auxiliary of the Presbyter- ian church at the apartment of Mr. Amos Castle on Tuesday afternoor was very well attended and was en- joyed by those present. Mrs. C. E Dougan and Mrs. F. A. Axon assisted Mr. Castle in receiving, while other members of the Auxiliary assisted it the tea room. The element of mys- tery about the tea, the menu being so written that the nature of the item ordered remained a mystery until it arrived, rendered it all the more in- teresting and enjoyable. In the evening Mr. Castle enter- tained five tables of men friends at cards, charging a fee, which was also handed over to the ladies of the Aux- iliary. At the conclusion of the play refreshments were served. Mr. Castle announced in the ad- vertisement last week that he would not again receive until February 29th but Tuesday's entertainments were so successful that he may be induced to change his mind. TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS OLD Some men were talking the other day about the length of time it was since the Clinton Spring Fair was started and one man expressed the opinion that it must be "well on to twenty years." Another thought it must be twenty-seven, and the latter; guess was the nearest correct. This year's fair was the twenty-eighth. The first fair was held April 5th, 1906, and was reported a success. Mr. James Fair, Dr. Shaw, Mr. James Snell, Mr. John MacFarlane and Mr. George Hoare were the lead- ing lights in the first few years, the latter having perhaps the leading part in getting the institution start- ed and as long as he lived he contin- ued to take a keen interest in it. For several years, until his remov- al from town, Mr. C. E. Dowding, manager of the Molsons Bank, was the energetic secretary. On his leav, ing town Mr. A. J. McMurray was appointed secretary, a position he. held until his removal from town, when Mr. G. H. Elliott, the present secretary, took over the work. PEOPLE YOU SNOW Miss Evelyn Hall of the Toronto Uni- versity is home for Easter. Mr. and Mrs. 0. W Potter were in Woodstock over the week -end.

A Wet Day Dampened But Failed To Spoil Clinton's 28th Spring Stock Show A GOOD ATTENDANCE AND GOOD STOCK MADE SUCCESSFUL SHOW ON THURSDAY LAST. Clinton did not have the best of over -R. J. Scott, Cromarty; Fred weather on Thursday last for the Annual 'Spring Pair of the Huron Central Agricultural Society. But we may have remarked before, and we say again, weather has never yet, spoiled a Clinton show. By great good luck the rain held up during the afternoon while the judging was taking place, and the stock exhibited was of a very high order. One or two exhibitors may have been prevented from being present by the state of the roads or weather, and the latter may have kept some people home, but nevertheless there was a good attendance and a good deal of interest taken in the fine display of live stock. Mr. J. M. Guardhouse of Weston was again the judge of heavy horses, while a former citizen, Dr. W. J. R Fowler, Guelph, who certainly knows a good horse when he sees one, gave the decisions on light horses. Mr. W. A. Douglas of Caledonia judged the cattle. There was but one lady driver this year. Mrs. Weber of Kitchener, who carried off the prize. One of the interesting features was the boys' judging competition, in which there were nineteen entries, the following being the winners: 1st, Alfred Patterson, Lncknow; 2nd, El- gin Nott, Clinton; 3rd, Frank Wright, Kippen. Another feature which attracted the attention of a number of farmers and stockmen was a demonstration tent, under the direction of Dr. Lie- nel Stevenson, Provincial Zoologist, who illustrated by chart and describ- ed by spoken word the pests and par- asites which are the worry of stock- men, and the best methods of con- trolling them. Dr. Stevenson declar- ed himself pleased with the atten- tion and interest shown by the many, farmers and stockmen who visited the tent. In the evening an entertaiment in the form of a minstrel show was put I on in the town hall, under the aus- pices of the Society's management f the performers being a company from the Queen street United church, Blyth, under the direction of the pas- tor, the Rev. W. G. Buell. A mock trial, some clever repartee, amusing songs and some clog dancing made up a very interesting program, which brought out a good house. It goes without saying that Presi- dent McEwen, Secretary G. H. El- liott, Treasurer MacLeod and his staff at the aricultural office, and the whole board 'of directors had a busy day, but the results amply re- paid them for the trouble taken. The officers this year are: Hon. Presidents, J. Shanahan, H. C. Cox, J. MacFarlane, Humphrey Snell; President, Wm. McEwen; First Vice -President, James Leiper; Se- cond Vice -President, Frank Powell; Secretary, Geo. H. Elliott; Treasurer, Ian MacLeod. Directors, James Lei- per, Hullett township; L. Tyndall.
