C. G. NEWTON,
DEALER IN HATS, CAPS AND GENTS' FURNISH-
INGS.
In the " Oddfellows Block," at the corner
of North street and the Square, is situated
the Hat and Cap Emporium and Gents'
Furnishing Establishment of C. G. Newton.
For a number of years past Mr. Newton has
successfully carried on his business in Gode-
rich, and so well has he been patronized
that he has been compelled to
increase his accommodation to
find room for his extensive stock.
His specialty is the importation
of fine English hats, and in this •
line he is second to none.
WM. ACHESON,
DEALER IN SADDLES, HARNESS,
TRUNKS, &C.
The oldest established harness
business in town is conducted by
Wrn. Acheson, on Hamilton-st.,
dating back to 1862. He is the
third of the name engaged in
different branches of business in
town, and it is needless to say
possesses the pluck, perseverance
and energy which appears to be
a family characteristic. He car-
ries the largest stock in his var-
ious lines in the county, and has
a patronage that warrants the
-carrying of the large stock. In
addition to being an importer of the best
outside goods, he has a full staff of work-
men and under personal supervision makes
a specialty of fine harness. In addition to
being a successful business man he has
found time to devote to the public interest,
and for a number of years has been a val-
ued member of the Public School Board of
the town.
THE HOME OF M. C. CAMERON.
This residence is one of the finest west of
Toronto. The main building is 60 x 55,
with a kitchen range of 50 x 25. The house
is heated with hot air and lighted with gas,
and has hot and cold water in the various
rooms. Connected with thehouse is a conser-
vatory, 37 x 17, a hot grapery, 17 x 17, and a
cold grapery, 50 x 17. The plants and vines
himself of them, and the result is that
Goderich can boast of a well-appointed art
studio that would do credit to many much
larger towns. The studio has been com-
pletely renovated from the entrance to the
reception, operating and finishing rooms,
and everything has been done towards
securing suitable back -grounds and other
accessories to make pleasing pictures of
family groups or individuals. Every ap-
pliance has been obtained for
turning out first-class work, and
for copying and enlarging. Re-
cently a handsome plate glass
show window has been placed
at the entrance on Montreal st.,
which has already become a
centre of attraction to visitors
and others seeking something
exquisite in art. It is the in-
tention hereafter to keep a full
line of oil paintings and Taber's
famous artotypes in stock, to-
gether with a splendid assort-
ment of mouldings of the latest
designs and finest finish. The
time for viewing is now at hand,
and persons desirous of having
their residences taken can re-
ceive full satisfaction, as a com-
plete outfit for this class of work
has been specially obtained.
Orders left early in this line al-
ways give the artist an oppor-
tunity to select the most favorable time for
securing the most perfect pictures. Mr.
Thos. Brophy, who has assisted Mr. Sallows
for the past seven years, has full control of
the finishing department, and it is needless
to say is thoroughly proficient in his chosen
vocation. During the absence of Mr. Sallows
from the studio work can always be entrust-
ed to Mr. Brophy with the utmost confidence.
Lastly, but by no means least interesting, is
the lantern department in connec-
tion with the establishment. Mr.
Sallows has imported from one of
the leading opticians in London,
England, a world-renowned "Pam-
phengos Dissolving Views Appar-
atus." During the past winter
over twenty public exhibitions
have been given to Sabbath
schools and churches in Huron
county, with unbounded success
and satisfaction to all concerned.
The views, which are of the best,
are all colored by the first Eng-
lish artists, and comprise travels
in the Holy Land, Egypt and
Tndia, and these will be supple-
nented as occasion requires. A
large assortment of views of local
scenery, statuary and slides of
passing events, &c., will also be
obtained. Terms for exhibition,
public and private, which are
moderate, can be had d on applica-
tion.

The firm has an extensive busi-
ness connection, and m a k e s a

trade, a special line is kept in ladies'
fine work, which is under the personal
