Scott, 'Thornton Hall," was the scene of a most enjoyable and successful garden party under the auspices of the Seaforth Presbyterian church. A fleet of cars conveyed townspeople out to the grounds, where a splendid supper was served until 8 o'clock, when the evening's programme was commenced. The weather was fine although 'being a trifle cool, business in the ice cream booth was slack. Electricity supplied ample lighting for the neatly arrang- ed tables and for the carrying out of the programme. The first number Was a selection by the Presbyterian choir, "Anchored." A fancy flag drill Under the direction of Mr. James Robb was carried out to perfection and won much applause from the au- dience, Violin selections were given by Mr. Dtirant, and Mr. Angus More entertained with his bagpipes, and Hairy, McLeod sang two comic songs. A selection was given by the Seaforth Male Quartette, composed of Messrs. Geo. Israel, J. G. Mullen, Jno. Beattie and D. F. McGregor; duets by Messrs. John', and Jimmy Scott, and Mr. and Mrs, 3. G. Mullen; and a euphonium solo, "The Old Home Down on the Farm," by Mr. Dawson Reid. Messrs. L. T. DeLacey and Reg. Reid introduced a clever inno- vation in the duet "Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean," by references to Sea- forth's Main street, the Band and finally the results of the election.", The Seaforth Highlanders Band under the leadership of Mr. William Freeman, was in attendance all even- ing. The.proceeds amounted to $225. MRS. WILLIAM COOPER Mrs. William Cooper, of Seaforth, passed away very suddenly about 5 o'cllock Saturday evening while pre- paring supper. Mrs, Cooper's maiden name Was Mary Ann Evans and she was born in the township of Morris, fifty-eight years ago. She was mar- ried at Blyth in 1886. Surviving are her husband and five sons, John, Thomas, William A. and Robert F., at home; Joseph B. and George E., of Clinton. 'The funeral took place on Tuesday a'fternoon at 2:30, interment being hr the Clinton cemetery. The pall- bearers were Messrs, Glazier, Thos. Flannigan, Wm. Montgomery, Robt, Strong, Jr. J. Cooper and Wm. Stod- dart. Among those from out of town who attended the funeral were Mr. ,and, Mrs. J. B. Oooper and Mr, and Mfrs J. E. Cooper, Clinton; Mr. and Mrs, 'rhos, Glazier and Misses Eva and. Alta, of Clinton, and Mr, Geo, Glazier . •A Prime Dressing for Wounds, -'-in some factories and' workshops car- bolic acid is kept for use in cauteriz- ing wounds and cuts sustained by the workmen. Far 'better to keep on hand a bottle of Dr. Thomas' Eclec- tric Oil. It is just qnick in action and does not scar the skin or 'burn the flesh. ISSUE NUMBIi.., CELEBRATION AT.CLINTON. , MARY ANN McELROY,. I Naughton, reeve , of Tuckersinith; C',.-xrctaftartiTbA An open-air meeting was 'held in three succe sfull candidates in Huron Clinton Trrsday night to give the an opportunity to address the elect- ors, The circumstances are unique"in tire history 'of the county, the election of three candidates of one party, and a large croWd turned out to hear and get acquainted with their new repre- sentatives in the Provincial Legisla- ture, Mr. E. R. Wigle, of Goderich, was un'avoidalbly absent, The Clinton Kiltie Band played a number of selections during the even- ing. Mr, Chas. Middleton, of Clinton, acted as chairman and after,a few in- troductory remarks, .-called on Mr: John jOynf; who has been given his - second term in • North Huron. Mr, Joynt, in his good 'humored way, ex- pressed his appreciation of an ,oppor- tunity to make his first address from a Clinton.platform and to meet the member-eledt for South Huron, He related several amusing episodes of the fight pit tip against him in his riding but was immensely pleased they had DOI, been able to "down the ould man." He said the LJ.F.O.'s in Winghain were telling that the Tories would bring whiskey hack and then it would be necessary to build a priv- ate road across back lots for sober people to drive on, He assured his audience that the 0.T.A. would be at least as safe in the hands of the Con- servatives, who introduced it, as with Mr. Drury. He showed the folly of some recent legislation which had been put through in spite of all dic- tates of reason; that the government had really done more harm to the On- tario farmer by its legislation than good. Mr, N. W. Trewartha declared that U.F.O. and Liberal votes, in their de- sire to put out Drury from power had nearly as much to do with his election as the Conservatives. An Exeter man told him it was the Grits there that got him ted;,an 'Osborne man said the Grits and U.F.O.'s did the trick there, while in Stephen the U.F.O.'s were given credit for his election -it was truly the people's victory. So now that the ecection was over people should forgk their differences and work to improve this wonderful prov- ince of Ontario. From his knowledge of county a airs as Warden, he out- lined his po cy in several things. He would like o see Hydro. on every _farm -the t lephone and rural mail Had wrough wonderful changes in farm life, vdro would he just as Important.. tir6n had the best roads of any county in Ontario, but owing to proper tystern and management the good roads tax this year had been reduced to 15/... mills. The same could be done for the province. Regarding education he thought the money paid to inspeckirS and examiners' far too great. Also the money spent for the administration of justice in the coun- ties was excessive, and the setting of officials' salaries should 'be the coun- ty council's duty, FIREMEN'S BENEFIT. The management of the Lyric The- atre have generously donated their theatre for three nights, .Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday next to the firemen. The play "Storm Swept" is one•of the best shown here. The tang of the sea, the sweep of the rolling billows, the keen, crisp breath of life on the ocean, all combine to develop an atmosphere that you will enjoy in this masterpiece.
