Improving The Property An old landmark has been removed from the property recently acquired .by the Rev. Mr. Trewin, the oid'Oopp property, in the removal of the late Mr. Copp's "shop." This was where Mr. Copp did the work which he did at home, and that old shop turned out some very ' fine and commendable work, ,But it must be admitted that the property looks all the better with- ont it, now that it is not needed, L.O.B.A. Entertains Sister Lodges Tuesday evening the local L.O.B.A. lodge had as their guests the mem- bers of Stratford, Seaforth and Gode- rich lodges.

F. G. Farrill going to Windsor. Mr. and Mrs. FarriII and their young fancily haw.made many friends in Clinton and vicinity and will be much missed, not only by the church with which they were so closely connected but by the whole community. Rev. H. G. Bundy, who was placed elsewhere in the 'first draft of min- isters in the London Conference, re- turns to Varna, where he has been for some years. Rev. Dr. Hogg, who has been in Strathroy since leaving Clinton five years ago, has gone to Drinnbo. Rev. C. J.

Taking Over Agency Here Mr. Leonard Mclinight is taking over the agency of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company which has been handled by MT. Sid, Thompson of town for same time, It is hoped that this will itean that he will re- inain in town, where he has been set- tled for some time. There is a rumor that: Mr. Thomp- son is going intobusiness here but this doesn't seem to be a settled thing' yet. But we hope that both young couples will continue citizens, of the town, W. A. Has Successful Bazaar The Wmnens' Association of the Presbyterian church held their annual' June bazaar and tea m the churen basement on Saturday afternoon, with a good turnout. The ladies had a fine collection of articles for sale and most .of these were disposed of during the after- noon, when many called to examine, to select; to purchase and to drink a cup of tea with a friend or neigh- bor. At six o'clock a special business men's supper was served, 'many of the business men, also women, tak- ing advantage of the opportunity to get supper down town on a Saturday night. The several booths were looked at - ter by the following Iadies: The Country Store, Mrs. E. Ward; Touch and Take, Mrs. F, Mutch; Novelties, Mrs. G. D. Roberton; Honie Baking, Mrs. Neilans; apron and rummage, Mrs, R. J. Fisher. The Mission Band looked after the Candy Booth. ,Some More Ancient Documents Following our mention a few weeks agoof some old deeds, etc., which had been shown us, Mr. F. W. An- drews brought us m three deeds of property which changed hands in the early days hereabouts, • One of these deedsis dated 1534, one 1835 and the other 1848, and the two early ones are signed by T.R. G. Dunlop, as .registrar. This was the one and only "Tiger" Dunlop, no doubt, whose grave is to be kept perpetually green by the County. One deed is a conveyance of land from Mr. P. Vanderbourg to Mr. S. Vanderbourg. The price paid was seventy-two pounds, "in lawful money of Upper Canada." The 1885 deed was a conveyance of land from Stephen Vanderbourg to George Brown, and this was a more important sale, as it involved the payment' of three hundred and fifty pounds. ; The third deed is a conveyance from Robert Rutherford George Montgomery to Isaac Rattenbury, of 144 acres in the Township of Gode- rich, Lot 24, abutting on the Huron Road. All the documents are yellow with age, which is not to be wondered at, but all are in a good state of -preser- vation and the writing on them is quite plain, that of the newest- one being the most faded, no doubt the ink hat, ing something to do with that. THE HOME PAPE Lions Club Frolic Last Thursday The first "Frolic" put on by the Clinton Lions Club was staged last Thursday night, when it turned out to be a very successful affair. The weather was a little bit cool for real enjoyment outside and ne doubt kept several at home. • But there was a very good turnout. The centre of the town, from the post - office totheHuron road corner, was roped off, a dancing floor, bandstand and several. booths, and amusement places were set up and they were kept busy most . of the evening, games, races, •etc., taking place all the time. The comittee in charge worked ked xd to make it a success. The band gave its first open air concert on this oeeasion, ensuring good music, - and the evening was pleasantly, spent. The proceeds from the affair goes into the Lions Club -treasury to assist in the aid of crippled children, The Doctor's Skill Needed Across The Pond • Dr. D. J. Fowler of Guelph, who has been on the staff of the Ontario Veterinary College for thepast thirty-six years, has been again cal- led to England in the interest of his profession and will sail from Mon- treal July 4th. Last month Dr. Fowler was honor- ed by the Universite de Montreal when an honorary doctorate was con- ferred upon him at the convocation of that University. It was only last year that the Doctor, who has always been intensely interested in Agricul- ture, was decorated by the Govern- ment of France, with the insignia and title of Chavelier de Merlte d' Agri- cole for work he had done for the ad- vancement of Agricultural Science. Dr. Fowler is almost a Clinton Old Boy and has many friends here- abouts. lie is a brother of Dr. How- ard Fowler of town and Mrs. Fow- ler owler is also a native of this locality, having been Miss Izzard before her marriage. Old Clinton Boy Wedded Last Friday The marriage was solemnized in St. Margaret's Anglican church, West Hill, Ont., on Friday evening, June 5th, of Margaret, daughter of • Mr. anis Mrs. R. M. Richmond of Toronto, and William James Appleby, only son of Mrs. Appleby and the late James Appleby of Clinton. The officiating clergyman was the Rev. 3. H. Colclough, rector of St: Margaret's. The bridal couple were attended by 81i. and Mrs. Chas. Hall of Toronto. The bride wore a pretty wedding frock of light blue pussy -willow silk crepe, with navy blue .accessories. Her travelling costume was of beige and brown. • Mr. and Mrs. Appleby have been in Clinton this week, visiting the for- mer's mother and receiving congratu- lations from his old friends. Mr. Appleby has been employed in the General Post Office, Toronto, for several years, and the day of the wed- ding the head of the money order de- partment in which he is employed carne along and took him to a room In the building which bad been decorat- ed np for the occasion and where one hundred and fifty of the staff were assembled. Here he was presented with a beautiful floor lamp, also a case of silver flatware and some pieces of cut glass, accompanied by flattering addresses and hearty good wishes. Willing To Go Certain Price This story takes us back to the Gay Ninties, when a dollar was worth 100 cents, when butter was 12c It lb. and eggs 5c to 10c a dozen in the stun - mer and.eost too much toeat in the winter. Taxes were 'a minor thing and a dollar was a full day's pay for a strapping, strong laborer. A strong young man in blue over - ails, who thought it was time to take untohimself a wife, abort this, time called at J. B. Rumball's jewellery store in Clinton. Mr. Rumball,late hus- band of Mts. Rumball of town, who conducted a stare where the Bell Telephone Company is .now . situated. He asked to see Mr. Rumball's dia- mond rings, and was shown a tray of sparkling ones. Mr. Rumball went on toquote the prices,"This one," he said, "is $20, this $30, 840,$50, $60, $75, pointing ,nut the different ones. The young man was very deliberate in his examination of the different rings hut ,said nothing, At last Mr. Rum - ball, thinking none of his collection was good enough for the young man, said: "If you would care to have a more expensive one, I could send a- way and get you one at any price that you wish." The young man then in a slow, de- liberate voice, said: "Well, - I would not mind going a dollar and a half," Bridegroom Honored The Dramatic Society of Ontario street church, in view of his ap- proaching marriage, last week pre- sented Mr. Leslie Pearson, who has been a valued member of the Society, with three handsome pictures for the new home he is establishing. This young couple, it would appear, has a large circle of friends, and they have contributed many very hand- some gifts towardthe furnishing of their home. Two Young Men Ordained b Edward C. Rorke, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Rorke of town, was ordained a deacon at a special service h e 1 d in Grace Anglican church, Brantford, on Sunday last. Mr. Rorke has been appointed assis- tant in a church in London for a year and takes up his new duties after a holiday during July. Mr. Harold Snell of Londesboro was' ordained to the ministry of the United Church on Sunday at the Metropolitan church, London, Both the above young nien are graduates of Clinton Collegiate. COLLEGIATE STAFF RE-ENGAGED The Collegiate Board inet Monday evening, when replies from all Meth - bus of the staff, were received, ac- cepting contract for • coming year. So the staff remains the same as this term, except that the vacancy caused by Miss Brydone's resignation will be filled by Miss Helen Manning. The board is considering having vocal music taught next term, ar- rangements not being complete. Accounts up to $31.54 were passed, arrangements were rade for the re- pairing of the ceiling of the assem- bly room and the matter of the pur- chase of a power mower, itt conjunc- tion with the town council, was lett with the committee already appointed to handle it.

That Untidy Glass It seems a pity that the finances' of the town will not allow of ' the clearing of the streets of grass, after it is -cut. The hay 'by the •sides of all side .streets, which was very rank' and. plentiful, has been cut but it is just, left as it fell, on the side- walks and along the sides of them. And we can think of nothing which gives the streets a ,more untidy and unkempt appearance. No doubt the street committee would say, "cannot afford it," but the council should go into committee of the whole andde- vise once means 'o finishing upthe s f g clearing of the side streets of grass. Celebrate Wedding Anniversary Sunday last, June 7th, was the thirty-fifth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hellyar, two well-known and esteemed residents of town. They observed the event very quietly, not even having `'a party' to mark it. But their children are at away, with the exception of the youngest son, Fred, and it was impos- sible to have them hone at this time as three are teachers. The day was of special interest in another way, as it was the birthday of the bride as well. It will only be fifteen years now until their golden wedding; that's not so long.
