The truck was being driven by George Zimmerman of London, with lVfitchs, the owner and Robert Dona- liiie of London as passengers. The three then had been operating a booth 'at Goderich fair in the after- noon and were on their way to Sea - forth 'to set up their stand -for the fair there. Only their personal, be- longings were saved from the blaze. According to Frost, he was going down a hill and noticed something black in front of him. The truck, he said, had no tail light. He crashed into "the hack of the other vehicle, which he said was going slowly. The fenders of the two machines locked and the truck took fire, the flames spreading to the touring car. Neith- er owner lhad insurance. Although no person was seriously injured in the crash, Frost, the driv- er of the touring ca,r had his hands cut.

WILLIS—LATORNELL The following report of a wedding is from the St. Thomas Times -Jour- nal, the bride being the daughter of former Clinton residents: "Trinity Anglican church was the scene of an exceptionally pretty wedding of early autumn this after- noon at three o'clock, when the marriage was solemnized al Edith Halliday, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. U. Latornell, Wellington street, to W. Paul Roberts Willis, of this city, son of Mr. and MIs. J. IVf. Willis, of Toronto. The Venerable Archdeacon J. W. J. Andrew offi- ciated at the ceremony, assisted by Rev. J. A. Davies, rector of St. John's church, and the wedding mu- sic was played by Mr. W. H. Spoon- er. The church was beautifully de- corated with a profusion of early au- tumn flowers in harmonizing shades, while white ribbons caught with clematis marked the guest pews. As the opening notes of the Bridal Chor- us from Lohengrin were played, the stately young bride entered the church with her father who gave her in marriage. She wore a graceful wedding gown of ivory satin fash- ioned on lines of classic simplicity in princess silhouette, with fitted bod- ice and long sleeves falling in points over the wrists. Her veil of Brus- sels net edged with lace, arranged in a cap and caught with clusters of orange blossoms at each side, fell in filmy folds over the long satin train of the gown and she carried a shower bouquet of pale pink roses with lilies of the valley. She also wore a neck- lace of pearls, the gift of the groom. Three bridesmaiids attended the bride, Miss Agnes Combe, of Clin- ton, cousin of the bride, as maid of honor; Miss Barry Combe, of Toron- to, also a cousin, and .of Ruth Willis, of Toronto, sister of the groom, as bridesmaids. All wore picturesque gowns of pale turquoise blue lace and tulle fashioned with long skirts dipping at the back in short trains. Their hats were simi- lar models of pale pink felt and they wore quaint lace mitts in blue and satin slippers in the same shade, while their bouquets were of tea roses and forget-me-nots. Mr. Ed- mund Willis, of Toronto, attended his brothel as groomsman and the ush- ers were Messrs. Stewart J. Allen, Gerald Rundle and Heber Sharpe, all of Toronto. During the signing of the register, Mr, Weir Elliott sang "0 Promise Me" and the bridal party left the church to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march. 1113.116.3. Baptist Church Sunday school at 10.30 atm. Fare- well service of the pastor at 7 pan. Usual services during week. Anniversary services were conduct- ed in this church on Sunday after- noon and evening, with large congre- gations. Rev. W. E.

Mr. H` Joyner, in conversation the other day told us that it was fifty- eight years since the came to Clin- ton and fifty-six since he started a market garden here. At that time, Mr. Joyner says, very few people here made gardens, they didn't t even'• have their lots fenced in and stock ran at large. This waa the reason he thought a . market garden a good line, as •it proved. It is some few years now since Mr. Joyner gave up his own garden but he is still interested and was in charge of Dr. Gandier's fine garden for some time and even yet, al- though he is. nearly ninety-three years of age, spends about three hours a day pruning and caring for Dr. Gandier's trees and shrubs, Ontario Street United Church Rally Day services were held in this church Sunday last.

The vegetable and fruit exhibits were displayed in the council chamber. En- tries in all classes were numctrous and made a fine showing.
