This year he -was fortunate in winning., the silver medal for Greek and Latin,. also securing a Bursary offered by Victoria College..; ; Present residents of ' Clinton are net acquainted'iwith Bernard but this news will be of interest when i We: mention the fact that 'he is'a son of W. B. Taylor, who, graduated from Clinton Collegiate Institute, and a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Tay- lot, former residents, who now make their home in Toronto, Local Nine Giving Good Account Of Themselves The local ball team won two games. this past week, one of then last Fri- day night on the home diamond when Seaforth was the visiting club, and the locals went on a hitting spree and ran up Ii total score of 10 as against 4 for the visitors.

Former Citizen Dies In Welland The death occurred at the hone of her son in Welland, on Friday last, June 19th, of Mrs. Ann Louise Bram- field, widow of Joseph Bramfield, of Clinton, in her seventy-sixth year. Mrs. Brainifield for the past ten years or so had made her home with her daughters until last fall, when her son's wife died and she went to Welland to be with him and his young daughter, Betty. The cause of death was pneumonia. She is survived by a family of five: John of Yorkton, Sask.; William, Toronto; Joseph of Welland; (Nellie) Mrs, Fraser of Hamilton, and (Mary) Mrs. Rupert Sleeman, Toronto. The first inten- tion was that the remains should be. brought here and laid beside her bus - band, but train connections were found to be so inconvenient that it was decided to lay her in her son's plot in Welland. So the funeral took place from the home of Mr. Joseph Bramfield, 41 Griffith -street, to Woodlawn cemetery, Welland, on Monday. All the children were pre- sent for the funeral. Climate Remains Much The Same Last Monday evening it turned pretty cold, and indeed, there was a bit of frost, though it did little if any damage here. Some folk seem to think that the seasons are changing, but in speak- ing of the cold .Mr. A. J. Tyndall re- called' : that fifty-four years ago, June 22nd, 1882, it was just as cold or colder. The reason he remembers so well was that on that date he and his brother, Loren Tyndall of HulIett, drove to Dungannon to hear Edward Blake speak in support of the late M. C. Cameron for the Federal Par - Bement who was opposed by the late Robert Porter. They took 'the long drive to Dungannon, sat in a cold building, the drive shed, during a lengthy meeting, and were nearly perished when they reached home, their political zeal not serving to keep them warm, it seems. ,But Mr. Tyndall says he was• to inspired by Mr. Blake's speech that he has never forgotten it. Do You Know The Birds Which Fly Over Your Head ? Do you know the birds that fly overhead these warm, balmy June evenings? The night hawk is one of the most interesting. A small species of hawk they are, bet if you will take notice in the evening youinay see them flying incircles in the upper air, high up, catching flies. Listen to their sharp, shrill call, then after a minute or two they will take a dive straight down, falling' at the same angle as an airplane in a power dive, perhaps two hundred feet or more, then right themselves With an up- ward curve. At this instant, coining out of the dive, a decided .noise is heard as the air passes through their wings. They do not stop 'for darkness but can be heard through the dark, still night. Watch for . them, their exhibtion is interesting, and they are said to •be the most useful of birds, living en- tirely on insects. No gardener or farmer should. shoot,a nighthawk or allow one to be shot, as they are the 'constant, friend, of the tillers of the soil.. , Come Along Early Friends As Wednesday next is .

From a half colunut report of the wedding twenty-five years ago we clip the following: " "The bride and groom were the recipients of many useful and beau- tiful gifts, evidencingthe high esteem of. their many friends. The bride was one of Gowrie's most amiable and popular young ladies, " and will be greatly missed in the community, where she has been identified with social, • religious and , musical circles, while the groom is a man of exem- plary and 'sterling. ,.character, and is one of Clinton's enterprising busi- ness men, We extend .to the newly wedded couple our best wishes for a prosperous and happy future.

'Another Wanton Trick Last week we mentioned the , cut- ting of inost of the buds from the peony bushes on the Library park. On Sunday in Wesley -Willis Sunday school Superintendent Hellyar called attention to the mutilation of a tree on the church grounds and warned the children against meddling with the shrubs and trees. This tree, a weeping birch, has been completely girdled about three feet up the trunk, not only the outside, white bark, but two or three layers of bark being removed. The of- ficials are •malting an effort to save it but even if it is saved it will al- ways bear the scar•. It is a pity that children are not taught to care for trees and flowers, it is a fine part of the education of 'anyone.

In the Ontario street church on Tuesday evening graduation exercises for the four graduates of Clinton Community Hospital took place. The church was . very handsomely decorated for the occasion, the alter being banked with flowers, white 131-• ies and blue enthuse, carrying out the hospital colors. The centre pews Were marked off with bows of tulle for the graduation class, hospital staff, their friends and the other in- vited guests, while the side aisles were filled with the general public, which is always interested in the work of the hospital. The graduating nurses were Misses Dorothy J. McLean, Bessie Marie Grainger, Winnifred M. Shaw and Pearl L. Easorn, who, dressed in their white uniforms, wearing shoulder bouquets of roses and carrying an armful of roses, looked very charm- ing, indeed, as they took their pro- fessional 'pledge, received their di- plonas and the other gifts presented.. The Rev. F. G. Farrill, pastor of the 'church, occupied the chair and when it was time to continence, said the exercises would begin by the singing of the National Anthem, all the more fitting because it happened to be the King's birthday. It was heartily sang, Mrs. Wendorf _presid- ing at- the organ. After a few brief words of; wel- come, the' chairman then proceeded with the program. When the graduating class wae. called to the platform Dr. Shaw, Clinton's veteran physician, admin- istered to them the pledge, although he said he did not rea'lly consider it' necessary to do so, as lie felt sure, after their three years' course, so faithfully fulfilled, that they would carry out the requirements of the pledge by their own choice. Rev. Dr. Dougan was called upon to deliver the address to the class,• which he did, after first congratulat- ing them on the completion of their course, giving them some good advice: The diplomas were presented. by Miss Sinclair, acting superintendent of the Hospital, in the absence of Miss Grainger, regretful mention of whose illness was made by more than one speaker.` Mrs. R. H. Johnston. presented the graduation pins, and Mrs. Wilson the gifts from :the board. . Miss Myrtle Armstrong contribut- ed an appropriate reading and Miss Viola Fraser,Miss Elva Wiltse, Mrs. W. A.. Oakes • and Mr. Crawford of Ripley contributed vocal solos and Mrs. Wendorf, besides playing ac-,- conpaniments, a couple of organ; solos. While the company Was gath- ering Mrs. Wendorf arid Miss Wiltse played an or'g'an and piano selection;. A very pretty feature was the pre- sentation of arm bouquets of roses. to the graduating class -by fou•,11ttle. girls: Doreen Elliott, Mary T'homp- son,Bernice Cosens and Betty Cook, who looked charrn!ng enough in their dainty frocks :to be taking part in a. wedding ceremony. Many other flowers,, baskets and•. bouquets, were sent in for the young• ladies and piled in profusion around' the platform, • Before offering ,the closing 'prayer - Mr.,, Farrill also gave the graduating - class some•words of counsel and en- couragement. At the conclusion of the liiogram the graduating class, .hospital staff,. and invited guests went down to the church lecture, roost, where buffet refreshments were ,,served by the' members of the board, Mrs. , Shan- and Mrs• Johnson pouring tea. •
