THE COUNCIL MEETING The council held a short session on Tuesday evening, all members pre- sent with the exeePtion of Council- lor Dr. • Thompson. Mayor Combe was in the chair. A communication was read from County CIerk Holman of Goderich giving the county requirements this years as $5,386,28, exactly the sante as last year. The C. and S, grocers wrote ask- ing permission, to place a gasoline pump at the outside of the sidewalk in front of their grocery skore. On notion of Councillors Miller and Paisley the clerkwas instructed to write the C. and_ S. people that they had been consistently refusing to have pumps placed, on the street and that they could not give the desired permission. Reeve Trewartha gave a verbal report regarding the streets. A cer- tain amount of work had been done on the streets and walks and as there is a small surplus some needed gravelling venin will be done this fall. Ie said he had • been talking to the county engineer, who told him that the Base line north of Clinton had been taken over as a county road, which Mr. Trewartha thought would be an advantage to the town. He said, also, that the County Road-+ Commission purpose widening to thirty feet and rebuilding the street *ern the mill north to the town lim- its as early as next season and re- commended the Ieast possible out- lay on this portion until this is done. On motion of Reeve Trewartha and Councillor Paisley it was decid- ed to give a $25.00 grant towards the Otter memorial. Reeve Trewartha, ' who was ab- sent from the July meeting,, asked information regarding a motion re the town band and Mayor Combe ex- plained that a committee from the council had mot a committee from the band and an agreement had been arrived at. The band objected that their were t su not suit- able able for all occasions and haat they had had an opportunity of purchas- ing at a bargain trousers which they could wear with their tunics and that when these were procured they would appear in uniform at the weekly concerts. 'Councillor Miller said that unless a notion passed are the July meeting were resinded the council could not legally pay the bane any more of the promised grant, IIe objected that the matter had not been handled in a legal manner. On motion of Councillors Cook and Holmes the July motion was resind- ed, Councillors Miller . and Paisley voting hay, • --•Councillor Paisley presentedthe following financial, report: ' Street Account' Paysheet ,",w174,95 S.

It might equally apply to Clinton: "This week we noted a little group of tourists stopping fora brief rest. They entered one of our ice-cream parlors, refreshed themselves, walk- ed about town for a few minutes and one asked, "What has this town to. offer?" That is the way of the right sort of tourists. This sort of thing is occurring ov- er and over again thus affording Exeter her opportunity. Why should not our merchants benefit by such visitors •• Here is a case in point: A visitor to a certain town re- membered as he 'was on his way north that he had forgotten his golf stockings. He inquired at: a store in a small town and was sowellserv- ed that he purchased fifty dollars worth .of outfitting. Nor is that all. For years he returned to that store to duplicate his order. Being on the job is a great thing when the tour- ist trade is gasping to be served. Tourist trade is like a bird on the wing. It is ,profitable—but shy." COOPER—CAIRD The following report of the wed- ding of Mr. Willis C. Cooper is from The Wimbledon Bores News, which also carried a large picture of 'the bridal party: A. very charming wedding took place at 2.30 o'clock, at St. Mary's on Saturday, when Florence, the second daughter of Sir Andrew and LadyCaird,of Argyle e Lodge, Park- side, was married to Willis Clark, the only son of Ma, and Mrs. A. T. Cooper, of Clinton, Ontario, Canada. Canon Monroe officiated at the cere- mony and Mr, Hector Caird was the best roan.- , The bride, who was given, away by her Sather, looked very slim and dainty in white satin, with a delicate tulle veil and train bordered with sil- ver. She carried a bouquet of lilies of the valley and white heather. The four bridesmaids, Miss A. C. Caird, Miss Hester Cooper, Miss Beryl Til- ley and Miss Aileen Booth, looked very attractive in dresses of golden tulle which rippled in little flounces to the ankle and with a tiny train behind. They 'wore widespread pic- ture hats of transparent gold tulle to install their dresses. The page, lefaster John Booth, was also dressed in gold. There were four ushers, Mr: E. D. Caird, Major Forman, Mr. IL A. Johnson and Mr. E. F. Beck- with. A large crowd attended the cere- mony. niony, The church was decorated with magnificent pink and yellow gladioli and ,stately green palms. A vary impressive address was given by Canon Monroe' and the service was fully choral. The hymns chosen were "Lead us, Heavenly Father, lead us," "0 perfect love,;' and the beautiful Psalm, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills: from whence cometh my help." Then towards the close of the ceremony, one of the boy choristers, who had a perfectly de- lightful voice, sang Mendelssohn's wonderful anthem "0, for the wings of a dove." He sang it as a solo throughout with unfaltering clear- ness and a rare sweetness of expres- sion. Then, as the organist played the wedding march, also Mendel- ssohn's, the beide. happy and smil- ing, left the church on her hu'sband's arm, while crowds of people gathered outside to see the couple enter their ear. Sir Andrew and Lady Caird and Mr. and n Mrs. A. T. Cooper received the guests. Lady Caird was gowned in pale grey georgette and lace, with hat and shoes to' match and carried a bouquet of mixed sweet peas. The. groom's mother, Mrs. A. T, Cooper, , wore an ensemble of blue lace with hat and shoes of tha saine. shade, her flowers were ophelia roses and fern. • An orchestra played softly during the afternoon. • - . "The reception was held at Argyle Lodge. About 200 guests were, invit- ed 'to the wedding 'breakfast, • which was held in an immense marquee erected in the grounds. For the hon- eymoon the newly -married pair . had no -definite`destfnatipn, preferrin • k to • Motor round the west of England,. stopping at will places that par- ticularly pleased them. • It is to be ]'roped' that the weather wi11 .keep fine for them.

THE HOME PAPE NEW ZEALAND BUTTER In regard to that ,New Zealand butter, whieh was reported to haye been shipped into; Clinton, it appears that while none has been' coming in for some little tune, not since the •present management has been in Marge at the local plant, that large quantities had -been used here ear- Iier, during the . past couple of years. In another column of this issue appear a statement of the riuinber of pounds shipped into Can- ada during 1929, it is not surprising that some of it 'should reach Hawn county. . GODERICH WON THIS TIME In .a scheduled Huron County Baseball Leaguegame in Goderich on Friday evening the Goderich -Black ITa • wkst defea ed Clinton by the score of 8 to 4. A fair crowd wit - missed the game, whieh was a good exhibition. Steck pitched the first three innings for Clinton, -and was relieved by Carrick in the fourth. Goderich also tried out two 'pitchers, Gene Tunney and Marx Pritzly, who both pitched a good game. A triple by E. Robinson of Goderich in the fifth frame was a feature of the game. The game was called in, the eighth inning .en account of darkness. HONOURED BY BRETHREN The following from a recent issue of the Ontario .(Calif.) Report will be of interest to many readers, as Mr. Beesley is an old Clinton boy: "ri• G. Beesley; Ontario, now on a visit to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, was given high honors by 100 members of Valley lodge, No. 1 I.0.0.F., as the sole surviving char- ter member of the original valley lodge which was agonized in 1883. A banquet was held in Beesley's honor. The tribute was significant from the fact that his son, William R. Beesley, occupied the chair as noble grand, and that present in the gathering was Hugh Thompson, who joined the Odd Fellows 55 years ago and was a member of the team whieh initiated Beesley in Clinton, Ontario, in the year 1879." WOMfEN'S INSTITUTE MEETS Thursday afternoon, July 31st, proved an ideal afternoon for the Women's Institute meeting to be held outdoors, when about sixty-five lad- ies met on the lawn of Mrs. E. Sa- ville, Rattenbury street, in honour of "Grandmother's Day." A splendid nct d varied program was put on. It being the custom 'to have a grand- mother take the chair on this occa- si.on, Mrs. John McKinley, secretary, filled this position, giving the ad- dress of welcome. After community singing, Mfrs. N. W. Trewartha, president, paid a very warm tribute to the grandmothers present. A reading entitled, "Lasea," was given by Mrs. (Dr.) Fowler, a paper, "The Origin and Development of the Wo- men's Institute, bjl' Mas. Harry Fitz- simons, and an accordion selection by aEss Edna Elliott. A few contests added to the amusement of the gath- ering. The mouth organ contest was won by Mrs. T, H. Cook; the slipper contest by Mrs. Trewartha; the lucky chair contest by Mrs. Wm. Wilson: throwing the ball by Mrs. David Steep; and the oldest grand- mother present was Mrs. James Lindsay, Princess street, who is in her gist year, who also received a prize. Atter • the program a s social half hour was spen over the tea cups. The annual Women's Institute pic- nic will be held in Goderich Harbour Palk on August 28th: Those wish- ing to go should give in their names to iitrs. Wm. Rozell, Rattenbury street, and Mrs. Dave Lindsay, Hu- ron Road, west. LITTLE LOCALS London C.N.R. softball' team plays the Clinton team on the local field this evening. Mr. Paterson, the new manager of the Royal Bank, has taken Mrs. T. Jackson's house in High street. He is holidaying at present.

SIX O'CLOCK TRAIN OFF The evening train from Haatford, that is the train from Toronto which comes in here at 6.08, will be dis- continued after this .week,• and ' we Shall then have but two . trains a day from Toronto, the noon and the ten twenty-three as we have two down, the morning and afternoon. This was a useful train principally for bringing : through • mail and also for getting home from any point between here and Stratford, also for Students along the line. It was not a good through train from To- ronto, as, it was slow, and few peo- ple took it who could wait for the later, faster train. But it had its uses and will be` missed -by many. This train had been running for a it's great nary years, but. it makes last run on Saturday. Lack of busi- ness is given as reason for the cur- tailment. DEATH OP MRS. A. TEBBUTT • After a long illness, Catharine McLeod, wife of Mr. Alfred Tebbutt, Goderich, died at her home, Nelson" street, on Tuesday afternoon 'of last week. Mrs. Tebbutt was born in Gbderieh Township 'in August, 1870, and was the daughter of the late Ro- bert and Margaret MacLeod, pioneer settlers of that township, After her marriage' she resided on her husband's farm until about nine years ago, when they moved to Goderich where Mx.

Her ill- ness was 'borne with patient endur- ance, and much sympathy is felt for her husband and son, Gordon, to whom she was devoted. One broth-, er, Angus McLeod of Clinton, is the only surviving member of her fain- tly, which consisted of five, • The funeral took place on Thurs- day afternoon to Maitland cemetery.

It might equally apply to Clinton: "This week we noted a little group of tourists stopping fora brief rest. They entered one of our ice-cream parlors, refreshed themselves, walk- ed about town for a few minutes and one asked, "What has this town to. offer?" That is the way of the right sort of tourists. This sort of thing is occurring ov- er and over again thus affording Exeter her opportunity. Why should not our merchants benefit by such visitors •• Here is a case in point: A visitor to a certain town re- membered as he 'was on his way north that he had forgotten his golf stockings. He inquired at: a store in a small town and was sowellserv- ed that he purchased fifty dollars worth .of outfitting. Nor is that all. For years he returned to that store to duplicate his order. Being on the job is a great thing when the tour- ist trade is gasping to be served. Tourist trade is like a bird on the wing. It is ,profitable—but shy." COOPER—CAIRD The following report of the wed- ding of Mr. Willis C. Cooper is from The Wimbledon Bores News, which also carried a large picture of 'the bridal party: A. very charming wedding took place at 2.30 o'clock, at St. Mary's on Saturday, when Florence, the second daughter of Sir Andrew and LadyCaird,of Argyle e Lodge, Park- side, was married to Willis Clark, the only son of Ma, and Mrs. A. T. Cooper, of Clinton, Ontario, Canada. Canon Monroe officiated at the cere- mony and Mr, Hector Caird was the best roan.- , The bride, who was given, away by her Sather, looked very slim and dainty in white satin, with a delicate tulle veil and train bordered with sil- ver. She carried a bouquet of lilies of the valley and white heather. The four bridesmaids, Miss A. C. Caird, Miss Hester Cooper, Miss Beryl Til- ley and Miss Aileen Booth, looked very attractive in dresses of golden tulle which rippled in little flounces to the ankle and with a tiny train behind. They 'wore widespread pic- ture hats of transparent gold tulle to install their dresses. The page, lefaster John Booth, was also dressed in gold. There were four ushers, Mr: E. D. Caird, Major Forman, Mr. IL A. Johnson and Mr. E. F. Beck- with. A large crowd attended the cere- mony. niony, The church was decorated with magnificent pink and yellow gladioli and ,stately green palms. A vary impressive address was given by Canon Monroe' and the service was fully choral. The hymns chosen were "Lead us, Heavenly Father, lead us," "0 perfect love,;' and the beautiful Psalm, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills: from whence cometh my help." Then towards the close of the ceremony, one of the boy choristers, who had a perfectly de- lightful voice, sang Mendelssohn's wonderful anthem "0, for the wings of a dove." He sang it as a solo throughout with unfaltering clear- ness and a rare sweetness of expres- sion. Then, as the organist played the wedding march, also Mendel- ssohn's, the beide. happy and smil- ing, left the church on her hu'sband's arm, while crowds of people gathered outside to see the couple enter their ear. Sir Andrew and Lady Caird and Mr. and n Mrs. A. T. Cooper received the guests. Lady Caird was gowned in pale grey georgette and lace, with hat and shoes to' match and carried a bouquet of mixed sweet peas. The. groom's mother, Mrs. A. T, Cooper, , wore an ensemble of blue lace with hat and shoes of tha saine. shade, her flowers were ophelia roses and fern. • An orchestra played softly during the afternoon. • - . "The reception was held at Argyle Lodge. About 200 guests were, invit- ed 'to the wedding 'breakfast, • which was held in an immense marquee erected in the grounds.

THE HOME PAPE NEW ZEALAND BUTTER In regard to that ,New Zealand butter, whieh was reported to haye been shipped into; Clinton, it appears that while none has been' coming in for some little tune, not since the •present management has been in Marge at the local plant, that large quantities had -been used here ear- Iier, during the . past couple of years. In another column of this issue appear a statement of the riuinber of pounds shipped into Can- ada during 1929, it is not surprising that some of it 'should reach Hawn county. . GODERICH WON THIS TIME In .a scheduled Huron County Baseball Leaguegame in Goderich on Friday evening the Goderich -Black ITa • wkst defea ed Clinton by the score of 8 to 4. A fair crowd wit - missed the game, whieh was a good exhibition. Steck pitched the first three innings for Clinton, -and was relieved by Carrick in the fourth. Goderich also tried out two 'pitchers, Gene Tunney and Marx Pritzly, who both pitched a good game. A triple by E. Robinson of Goderich in the fifth frame was a feature of the game. The game was called in, the eighth inning .en account of darkness. HONOURED BY BRETHREN The following from a recent issue of the Ontario .(Calif.) Report will be of interest to many readers, as Mr. Beesley is an old Clinton boy: "ri• G. Beesley; Ontario, now on a visit to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, was given high honors by 100 members of Valley lodge, No. 1 I.0.0.F., as the sole surviving char- ter member of the original valley lodge which was agonized in 1883. A banquet was held in Beesley's honor. The tribute was significant from the fact that his son, William R. Beesley, occupied the chair as noble grand, and that present in the gathering was Hugh Thompson, who joined the Odd Fellows 55 years ago and was a member of the team whieh initiated Beesley in Clinton, Ontario, in the year 1879." WOMfEN'S INSTITUTE MEETS Thursday afternoon, July 31st, proved an ideal afternoon for the Women's Institute meeting to be held outdoors, when about sixty-five lad- ies met on the lawn of Mrs. E. Sa- ville, Rattenbury street, in honour of "Grandmother's Day." A splendid nct d varied program was put on. It being the custom 'to have a grand- mother take the chair on this occa- si.on, Mrs. John McKinley, secretary, filled this position, giving the ad- dress of welcome. After community singing, Mfrs. N. W. Trewartha, president, paid a very warm tribute to the grandmothers present. A reading entitled, "Lasea," was given by Mrs. (Dr.) Fowler, a paper, "The Origin and Development of the Wo- men's Institute, bjl' Mas. Harry Fitz- simons, and an accordion selection by aEss Edna Elliott. A few contests added to the amusement of the gath- ering. The mouth organ contest was won by Mrs. T, H. Cook; the slipper contest by Mrs. Trewartha; the lucky chair contest by Mrs. Wm. Wilson: throwing the ball by Mrs. David Steep; and the oldest grand- mother present was Mrs. James Lindsay, Princess street, who is in her gist year, who also received a prize. Atter • the program a s social half hour was spen over the tea cups. The annual Women's Institute pic- nic will be held in Goderich Harbour Palk on August 28th: Those wish- ing to go should give in their names to iitrs. Wm. Rozell, Rattenbury street, and Mrs. Dave Lindsay, Hu- ron Road, west. LITTLE LOCALS London C.N.R. softball' team plays the Clinton team on the local field this evening.

SIX O'CLOCK TRAIN OFF The evening train from Haatford, that is the train from Toronto which comes in here at 6.08, will be dis- continued after this .week,• and ' we Shall then have but two . trains a day from Toronto, the noon and the ten twenty-three as we have two down, the morning and afternoon. This was a useful train principally for bringing : through • mail and also for getting home from any point between here and Stratford, also for Students along the line. It was not a good through train from To- ronto, as, it was slow, and few peo- ple took it who could wait for the later, faster train. But it had its uses and will be` missed -by many. This train had been running for a it's great nary years, but. it makes last run on Saturday. Lack of busi- ness is given as reason for the cur- tailment. DEATH OP MRS. A. TEBBUTT • After a long illness, Catharine McLeod, wife of Mr. Alfred Tebbutt, Goderich, died at her home, Nelson" street, on Tuesday afternoon 'of last week. Mrs. Tebbutt was born in Gbderieh Township 'in August, 1870, and was the daughter of the late Ro- bert and Margaret MacLeod, pioneer settlers of that township, After her marriage' she resided on her husband's farm until about nine years ago, when they moved to Goderich where Mx.

Her ill- ness was 'borne with patient endur- ance, and much sympathy is felt for her husband and son, Gordon, to whom she was devoted. One broth-, er, Angus McLeod of Clinton, is the only surviving member of her fain- tly, which consisted of five, • The funeral took place on Thurs- day afternoon to Maitland cemetery.
