NOVEMBER WINTER • Perhaps the weather we are hav- ing just now is somewhat unseason- able. At least we didn't have it last year, but we are enjoying it, any- way. We have had some rain and a wee suspicion of snow.since this time last week, but most of the time has been fine and mild, more like April weather than November. Dandelions are blooming„also calendulas, which are in a sheltered place. Pansies have been sending out as fine bloom as one would see in the spring in many gar- dens, and it is very hard indeed to , imagine it is only a little over three weeks until Christmas.- DEATH OF CHAS.

Elford, Poultry Hu. sband- man, Ottawa, an old Holmesville boy and graduate of Clinton Collegiate and well known here, is at present down in St. i'etersburg, F1'olida, be- ing ordered south for the good of his health. His friends will heartily wish that he inay speedniy recover and -be able to return to his post. It does- n't seem natural at all to think of Mr. Elford as anything but his ener- getic and efficient self. But it may be that he has been too energetic and now needs to rest up a bIt and throw off responsibility for a while. Mrs. Elford is with her husband And it is hoped both will enjoy the winter holiday and return with fresh vigor when onr nine spring weather returns.

COUNTY TEAM AT FAIR Agricultural Representative Ian MacLeod had a team of three Huron boys at the Royal Winter Fair last week taking part in an in- ter -county live stock judg- ing , competition, but he was a little bit disappointed that they did- n't come higher in the list when the awards were made. The team, com- posed of Stewart McEwen, Stanley; Frank Archibald, R. R. No. 4. arm: Jack Moylan, R. R. N'o. 5, Seaforth,- came fouteenth in a class of thirty contestants.

NOT YET SETTLED At a hearing before Magistrate Makin in Goderich last week, Ross Cardiff pleaded guilty, on the advice of counsel, Mr. Bell of Brussels, to operating a vehicle without a license. He was fined $10 and costs. Answer- ing a second charge of recldoss driv- ing he pleaded not guilty and a leng- thy hearing of witnesses ensued, there being five Crown witnesses, chief of whom was Sheriff Middleton. who owns and operated a car which featined in an automobile acicdent on Nov, 9111 near Seaforth. Motorcycle Officer Callander acted for the Crown. The charge of reckless driving against Cardiff and a counter -charge against the sheriff were withdrawn in view of the fact that the defers. dant is entering it civil action against Sheriff Middleton and the sheriff will in all probability enter a counter -ac. tion, PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD The regular, meeting of the Public School Board was held on Monday evening, with the following members present: Messrs.

FALCONE1S---GIBBS A couple of young Clinton people, Mr. Victor Falconer and Miss Sadie Gibbs, tvent to London on Saturday, Nov. 17t11, and at half past eleven were quietly married at the manse of St. Andrew's United church, the Rev. Dr. MacGregor, conducting the ceremony. The bride is the only daughter of Mr Frank Gibbs and the late Mrs. Gibbs, of Clinton, the bridegroom the second son of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Falconer of Stanley. The young couple were unattend- ed.: The,. bride was given in marriage by her father. She was married in a pretty floor-Iength frock of rose chiffon velvet, with which she wore a corsage of roses, and black acces- sories. At the conclusion of the ceremony the bridal couple and those accom- panying them, including Mrs. P. Gibbs and Mr. ' Harold Gibbs, father and brother of the bride; Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Falconer, parents of the bride- groom; Mrs. Thos, Lawson and Misd Laving Gibbs, Stratford, aunts of the bride drove to Hotel Belvedere where the wedding •breakfast was served Later in the afternoon Mr. and Mrs: Falconer left ona motor trip to Ham- ilton, Niagara Fails, Cleveland, Tol- edo, Detroit and Toronto, where they visited the Winter Fair beforere- turning home. The bride travelled. in a printed crepe' costume, with which she ware a black coat,' hat and other accessories. Mr. and Mrs. Falconer have return- ed and have taken up their residence in Princess street. They have the good Wishes of a large circle of friends for a happy and prosperous future, DAVID- CANT ;LGN ,a who on Tuesday last completed his eighty-seventh year. Usually where a elan gets to that age he is content to sit down and take his exercise telling the young fry what he "usefl to do when he was young." Mr. Cantelon is not that sort of a man. He was out in the country all day on his birthday buying hogs, his every- day calling. In the evening he had a. fondly dinner at his home in honour of the occasion and later on he at- tended the annual meeting of the lo- cal Conservative Association. Not a bad day Tor a man well on toward his ninties. Mr. Cantelon is a native of Gods - rich township, being a son of a pion- eer of that township, but he has been doingbusiH ess ill Clinton on for over ix o '• s ty ary s and during his lone. car- eer has bought more apples and hogs than any other man in Huron. If he had all the nmoney which has passed through his hands in that time he would be a millionaire several times over. "Dave" as be is familiarly known, has heaps of friends, in Clinton and in all the surrounding townships and all will join in extending congratu- lations and wishing him many Happy Returns. DTD YOU THINK OF THIS? Everyone is thinking more or less about the near approach of Christ- mas and about what to choose for a Christmas gift for members of the family and friends. Nothing would be more appreciat- ed by a member of the family who 15 absent from home, or who has set up housekeeping for themselves, than a year's subscription to The News -Re - coed. 'We already have •orders for.• such a gift. You might search for a- long Iong time before getting any gift which would give so much satisface tion for so little outlay, $1.50 to any - address in Canada or England, $2.00 to the United States. We shall send it early enough to reach its destina- tion before Christmas and also a card explaining the fact that it is a Christ- mas gift from Yoe. This is a gift which lasts right through the year., COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS TREE A meeting of the Businessmen's Association was called for Priday ev- ening- last, in the council chamber. The attendance was not as large an the president would have liked to' see, but the business for which the - meeting was called was transactecn that is arrangements were made for holding of a cdmun-unity Christmas tree. In fact arrangements were made for having two, one' on the postoffice square and one on Library Parlc. These trees will be suitably light ed as they were last year and on the evening of Dec. 15111 treats will be distributed to the children of 'Clin- ton and surrounding community. Better keep that date in mind and do - not fail to come into town and bring; all the family on that evening. BOY SUFFERS INJURY Clare Kennedy, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Kennedy, met with a ser- ious accident on Monday and one. which at first looked as if it might end fatally. However, his condition• has improved somewhat and while he is stili in a serious state it is hoped he will ultimately recover. Clare, who was acting as water boy with a gang of road construction, men on No. 4, was riding on the run-. ping board of a tuck, when it was suddenly stopped and he was thrown violently to the pavement, striking his head with such force that he suf- fered severe injuries. Medical at- tention was immediately procured; and he was removed to the Clinton Hospital where every care and at- tention was given. I3is case at first. looked bad and fears for his, life were expressed. But it is hoped that with care he will pull through. Clare's friends are very sympath- etic as he is a popular lad and there is generalsatisfaction over the lat- est report that his,, conditioni5 hen»• proving.
