ITS GOOD TO BE ON TIME—There is nothing like being on time in all things. and this is evidently the motto of a travelling Uncle Tom'; Cabin troupe, that have rented the hall for a production of that ancient play to he given on the evening of Tuesday Dec. :Nth, 1901.

The pres- ent office will bo eonvertea into a sample room, for the display of their goods, while the new department will ie fitted with up-to-date fixtures. One thing they will prize is the large vault, as the large safe which they have been using (and which they have just sold) is inadequate. • ONE OF THE MANY—Froin away off in t:alifornia comes these encourag- ing words for the New ERA.

JOYFULLY WEDDED. — Within the sacred ediflce of Ontario street Methodist church was solemnized, on Wednesday at noon, by Rev. Dr. Cook, one of the prettiest and most joyous wedding festivities that the town has known. The bride was Miss Fannie, the very attractive and charm- ing daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Shipley, and her_gown of rich white silk, with bridal veil, made her a veri- table fairy queen. She was assisted by her sister, Miss Carrie Shipley, who wore a pretty pale blue gown and black picture hat ; the little flower girl, Edna Levis, sister of the groom, also looked very sweet. The groom, Mr. Launcelot Levis, is a successful and we'I-liked implement agent of Goderich, and is a former Clintonian, his father, George Levis, managing an implement shop on Huron street; While the ceremony was going on Mrs. B. J. Gibbings sang that beautiful contralto love song "0 promise me," in a subdued .tone, She was accom- panied on the organ by Miss Sybil Courtice, who also played the wedding march. The guests as they appeared at the church door handed their cards to the ushers, Messrs. Shipley and Al exander, who conducted them to the front seats, which had been reserved for their use. Mr. Harvey Davis look- ed after the outside comfort of the wedding party and guests with his customary grace. At the home of the bride's parents was prepared a re- cherche dejeuner, to which about eighty sat own. Dr. Cook and others proposed suitable toasts to the happy couple, which were responded to b the groom. The gifts were innumer- able—useful, nnumer able—useful, ornamental and costly— which speaks volumes for the popular- ity of the youngcouple, and which was also shown y the assemblage at the church, which was one of the larg- est that has ever gathered to witness arra event of this kind in town. They left on the 3.28 for .points east, amidst the best of wishes and a good shower Lf rice, the bride's goin -awn dress ein a bof i h becoming one blue, with hat to much. They will take up home. in Goderich, where the groom has prepared a beautifully furnished home for his bride's reception. That they may be as happy throughout life's Sjourney ne they were on theft wedding day is the wish of a host of friends. , • BOUGHT OLD P. O. FIXTURES.— Mr. Kay, the deputy postmaster of the Stratford ,affi'•', wars in town Friday. He has ria lived the all p:)intment as postmaster f the sub•oflit•0 wh c't eat recently been inaugtirattecl in that city. His obj^ct in visiting; Clinton was to purchase the o1c1 po-it`otlleo fix- tures that acre the property of W. D. Fair. Besides taking these off Mr. Fair's hands. which he is glad to be rid of, 113 r. Kay •bought ,Tackson Tiros. big safe, for service in the new office. AN EXAMPLE WORTHY OF IMITATION.- We have been inform, ed that when Rev. Dr. Stewart was told of the coming of Bishop Carmich- ael, his first thought was, that if de- eirable, he would °luso his (emelt neat Sunday, inorder that his cnn Legation could hear the Bishop preach, If all clergymen were of the same gracious and kindly breath of thought, their need be no tae of union. among the' churches, for are not all men of Dr. Stewart's stamp already united, the .pity is there are so few. GO ES TO.TORONTt)..=Mr. d Moon who has been one of the respected young men of town for the past tbree years• and occupied the position as presser for Jackson Bros„ has resigned position and goes to T,)ronto Wed- nesday to accept at similar evocation On Monday evening the hue of the Pastime club, gave their departing ai.c- tive member an unexpected send off, .with a hop and lunch. 1A. number from outside places were present, and the evenings pleasure was. thoroughly en. joved Maysuccess follow hint in his new field of labor, is the wish of THE Nggw ERA. PROPERTY TR INSFLUS. — The W (` m.•aldwetl farm of 100 acres, less. the railway cut, was sold during the past week oto Geo. Hanley. of t:wri, for the stun of $6,100 it is a. good farm, as the price indicates. Thornes Britton has purchased a home for him- self on .tames street ; the pioperty was formerly Peter 'Powers' ; .e5 r. Britton will have it remode led somewhat. At the saleeMeer of . the Jervis estate er. Holenee,ille. on April' 1st, two bids were •received, one frfrom1l„Tebliutt's son, who is looking around foe a farm himself, and frimi Thomas Potter. the letter getting the place.et 53;310 it is a good farm but the buildings may not be in the best of repair. • TO SAFE GUARD OUR FAIR SEX —The Marriage Act is amended by ad- ding thereto' the following section :. In case the usual place of residence, of either of the parties is situate nut of the Dominion of Canada, the affidavit shall further state that notice. of the intended marriage has been duly pub-. lished not less then seven days prev- iously in at Meet two issues of some newspaper published in the municipal- ity in which the license is to be issued; or in case there is no FilchFilchnewspaper,. then in some newspaper •published in the county or district town of the county or district in which such man- icipality is situate. and that such 'no- tice was in a certain forma • • • • ALL ARE WELCOME— Thera still remains amongst•ouroldest 'residents, and friends frotnsttrruunding couiitry, many of those who were here during the years. when the Rev. Jas. Car michael, now Coadjutor Bishop .of Montreal was the incumbent of St. Pale's. To these a, special invitation, is extended to attend the services next Sunday in his old church, ,(limon. The beautiful Easter music will be re- peated for this occasion besides extra nunibers. Miss tiilanie Houston and Miss McNaughton will sing, and the choir wilt be auginented by others. On Monday afternoon a public recep- tion will be held iri the school house, to all those who wish to renew his tie. quaintance or become so with lTzim, from 3 to G o'clock. Lunch will .be• served. FAILED TO APPEAR—The Wood-• men of the world to the number of fifty who assembled in their hall oat Monday evening, were somewhat dis- appointed when it was learned that U. C Hodgins, of Liman, thief counsel commander of the order, wlio had promised to make Clinton camp a visithacl felled toput i,r his' appear- ance. However those present spade I the (test of it, and enjoyed the evening immensely. Sonne eight new cande. dates were initiated, and then com- ntenced a program of speech and song. Organizer McConnell. who is equal to any immergency, delivered a very witty and interesting address nu the orders ; John is well liked ray the Clinton logs, and brings a smile to their faces every time he comes to town. Mayor Hoover, who isalso one:. of the Head men of the Order deliver- ed a telling- speech, and enthused those. present with a desire to see the Wood- man Society progress. It was well on to midnight when the gathering broke up, and the logs rolled home. • SCHOOL NOTES.—The Collegiate and public schools re -open on Monday for the final spurt and it is advisable for all pupils to be on hand promptly in order that thework may be com- menced to the best advantage.. The staff of the public school will be the same, with. the exception that Miss O'Neill will resume her duties atter her long siege of oiliness, from which, we understand,- she has fully recovered. The Collegiate staff hat undergonea change, Mr. Stoddart having resigned to take charge of Forest High School as principal, while Chas, McKinnon takes Mr. Stoddart's place as Classical' Master here. Mr. MclCinnon,comes well recommended and has had consid erahle experience as a teacher and will no doubt fulfil the expectation of the beard. He is another'ex-pupil of out -Collegiate and that should be an add- ed recommendation as our Collegiate graduates have always held their own among the best teachers in the pro- vince. His father, at the time, ..had charge of.the Baptist church in town and on the Base Line. IN AND OUT AT EASTER. --- Harry Houston, at Exeter, John Em- merton, j c..

SCARCE It is a regrettable fact that the labor niaiket is very limited at the present time not only in Men, but in female help -factories, homes and stores being limited in pro duction and assistance from same. Messrs IIndgens Bros. have been ad- vertising for voting ladies ,to learn millinery, which is it vry. eprofita<b e calling wlien accomplished, wages from start, and even this does not seem to be enough inducement to tempt them. GOT MORE THAN' WAS THEIR'S. On Monday a car of coal destined for Messrs. R. & J. Rain .ford reached Sea - forth with something unusual aboard, and which was unappreciated by this ficin, It was a dem horse,and how it was placed there is a mystery,as no fool or any individual got itthere without its- sistarice, and yet no one seems to know any thing about the carcass, how it got there or where it came from. It is up to the Grand Trunk. however, to have it removed or have the car of coal and dead horse placed on their hands." A BIG ADVANCE SALE.—Never has such enthusiasm taken hold of our townspeople • for the patronage of A local concert, as was displayed con. earning the Band Concert held last. evening, Thursday., nearly two-thirds of the seats of the entire hall being reserved before that night. The suc- cess of the entertainment"was assured by the • untiring committee, who had devoted almost their entire time clue- ing the past week to •b inging it to the perfeceiclii that was attained, and by theeneral interest displayed by the band boys, who have been most duti- ful in their practices throughout the past winter. Will McLeod is a card that always wing, and he proved to be trump this time. Further mention of thisevent will be made next week. FOOT BALL NOTES,— Five chal- lenges are in for the Hough Cup and our boys are ready to start practise 1111- mediat&y after the Easter -holidays. Mr. McLean, their. manager, is looking after all the details in the meantime, .. •and will have everything ready for the boys on their return from . their . vaca- tion. tion.. °The team loses good players this year in.

WERE REPRESENTED. —At -the annual meeting of the Western Foot b:ill Association, held at Berlin on Fri. day. last, the following clubs in Huron county were represented :Hurons, Seaforth, Brussels, W ingham'and. Clin- ton..., Charles Mustard was Clinton's' representative. The clubs •who have alreadyplaced challenges in the hands of the Hough Cup executive are Ear - Aston, Owen Sound and London, No- tifications have also been received from Goderich and Seaforth: The fleet game to be played will come off in the course•of three weeks, wirh•Harriston. This game will -bring us. into touch witha club we. knew nothing of. Hur- on's member of .the' executive will be D. L. McLaughlin, of Brussels, The same day. a meeting of. the Canadian Lacrosse Association was . held in Tor onto; at which Aldie Holmes and L. D. McDonald looked after the Strath cone's interests. Clinton has a num- ber of good stick handlers, and there is no reason why, with good .manage-• went, the town club should not get. through a successful season's work. IT WAS ALL FOX —If the section, -of "-alae e Sewell -Graham coin bin=etion that showed, up on Tuesday evening was any indication of what the other two-thirds •were'liker (that did not shoW up)the largeassemblage that gathered in Ontario street church, ex- pecting to hear them, need not be dis- appointed at their non-appearance. The reader's selections were light acrd child -amusing, and were given in Afiza- teurish manner. • C. E. Dowding of the Molsons • Bank, kindly helped to fill up the program by rendering two solos. "There is a green hill," and "The Good Shepherd," which were. much:ap- preciated. Mrs. McHardy-Smith .was the accompanist for the evening. Mr. Fox, of Toronto, a. violinist of no mean ability, • was . also one of those who helped out on the program, and had i not been for the part that these people took; the entertainment would have fallen flat,. Mr. Fox's selections were very pleasing, and hisrendition of familiar airs . with• variations, such as "Horne Sweet Horne," "The Maple Leaf," "Bonnie Sweet Bessie;" etc., en- reptured his hearers ; the part he took was well worth theprice of admission, so that there is no "kick" coming be- cause the entertainment was not what it should have been. We do think, however. that when a corinpany is not able to fill its contract, it should at least see that another company of equal ability is sent in its place. VESTRY MEETING.—It was en- couraging to thementhers of St. Paul's vestry, which assembled on 'Monday evening, to learn from the financial statimentsubmitted by. W. Q. Phillips, Minister's Warden, that for the first One in a dozeiti years the receipts have been greater than the expenditures, Of course this does not say the church is free from debt, for there is a floating liability of • some $800, but this has. been gradually decreasing each year. During the past year a new furnace was installed,' and Stewart's nate .for. $1C0 redeemed. Amount collected froth all sources Was. $2100.00. The Rector's salary lits been increased 1)y $50, and he has been granted a month's holidays for 1ooO•1:Miss Bentleys organ- ist; also gets an increase, which she justly deserves.. The organ blower was given an increase during the past year, and now gets $15, Messrs. Phil - lis and • Johnston were- reappointed Minister's and People's Wardens•res- pectively ; auditors, H. T. Rance and E. E. Hilton ;sidemen, F. Herman, W. VVebb, I1, B. Henry, laugh G}r�i�Fg, 'W. Pirner, Rich, Worthington,I3nr- vey Colclough, W. Rattenbury and Clarence Johnston. Messrs. Ransford, Ferran and Plummer, as a tree com- mittee, were . empowered to look over the church property and submit a re, port at adjourned erecting ars to the advice bility of cutting out any of the 11 trees on the lot. Some idea of the work that St. Paul's pastor has necarn- plished during the past yeah may be seenfrom the following : Presentat all meetings ofA,Y.P.A., held weekly; superintendent of Sunday School, held; 07 services on Sundays himself and as- sisted at 11 others, conducted 10 week- night services. 20 public celebrations of the Holy Communion and five pri- vate. had 13baptisms, throe marrlagcs � and 12 funerals, • and made 4/31 paroch- ial calls. Al the congregational meet- ing held immediate) after the vestry, John Ransford and S. C•}•. Plummer t+ere elected to re reseii,t the parish at Elpnod, to be held in London in June._ The vestry will assemble a week from Mendltjl' to receive auditors' report.
