THE SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT
The entertainment put on by the
pupils of the Clinton Publie school
on Thursday and Friday evenings
of last week brought out a -full house
on each occasion and proved to be a
very unique and enjoyable event.
The program was pot on under the
direction of Mr. A. W. Anderton,
musical instructor, who was aided
by the members of the Homo anti
Sehool Club, who assisted by making
costumes, etc.
The opening number was a doll
show, the pupils from the primary
department taking part. These
were in charge of a dainty fairy,
Maxine Mailer, who by her pretty
dancing and the tough of her wand
inspired the dolts with life
and they, too, danced and sang and
recited, just like real people. A11
were daintily arrayed and this was
a very pretty little number, ' .'
This' was *limed by a cantata,
"In A Flower Garden," put on by
the girls of the school and a minstrel
show by the boys. The cantata re-
presented a day in a garden, from
early morning, when the birds are
just awakening, through the long,
sunny day, and into night again.
The- girls were very prettily dres-
sed to represent the different flow-
ers, to represent the, wind and the
rain,"the rainbow, the butterflies and
the spiders. Little girls in
yellow represented the sunrise, Miss
Pentland represented noon, dressed
in white and singing a pretty song,
Miss Fraser, in bright, sunset shades
represeuted the 'evening, with dance
and song, and 1Veiss Pepper, all in-
black with diamonds in her hair,
represented night, leading' .a pretty
dance with the stars, girls with little.
flashlights.
The costumes of the girls :were
very pretty, made of bright cease
paper, and the scene was very
charming as they danced about to
the music of their own fresh young
voices' led by Me, Anderton at the
piano. • Before it was over each set
of flowers carne forward to the
front of the platform and made their
curtsy to the audience. s.
The minstrel show was well put
on, too, One thing that; surprised
the audience' was the way the boys
could sing'. It may have been the
fact that they Were somewhat dis-
guised and forgot to be self -con
serous itut the boys certainly sang
well. Kenneth Dougan- took the
part of the interlocutor and Benson
Sutter and Frank Rleard that of, end.
Men. Amos and Andy were , repro-
sented by Jack Perdue and George
Elliott; who gave a little rnouthor
gen trio, assisted by the 'interlocu-
tor. The boys did well and later
gavo some comic stunts:
The whole progarn was very well
exeenited, .showing a lot of training
en the part of the musical' instruc-
tor and teachers, and the work of the
ee
t
costuune committee, ommit of
Whom Mrs
! Jenkins was convener, s•be-
r e , w a
yard praise. Both :the Flower Gar-
den and the doll sliow were, eharuu
ingly pretty. It was a fine enter-
tainment taken altogether.

that death had called one of the
best known and highly respected'
citizens in the person of James

some time it is thought that his life
was shortened by the shock of his.

)arch -'14. The deceased was born
hi the Township of Tuckersmith in
August- 1859 and came to Bayfield'
with his parents when he was n:
child. In early Youth he learned the•
trade of blacksmithing with the late
George Erwin and from that time
until- some eight or nine years ago,.
when he retired, • he carried on a'
successful business. He else :carried'
on a successful grocery business of
which his daughters took charge. Of'
a quiet disposition, a home -loving
man and fine upright character, he' will be greatly missed by his family:
and many friends. Besides his sol -
rowing children, Lawrence and Fred
of London, Mrs. Jack Worsen, Haz-
