A GOOD OLD WATCH.
When in Victoria, B. C., in 1862
Mr. D. B. Kennedy bought a gold
watch which he has carried ever since.
It has been a good thrte-piece for Za
• all those years it has kept excellent
time and has only been repaired one.
Do you know anybody' who has car-
ried a watch for forty-six years that
can say the same ?

THE COUNTY STOCK SHOW.
THIS WEE
We are still after the boys, and to Aet eyery boy. •
we are going to sell Odd Knickers at prices that we
give you our word for are the best values ever offer-
ed in Clinton.
We were able to make a deal
this week with the Jackson Man-
ufacturing Co. for a big lot of
Odd Knickers at prices less than
they cost in the factory. They
include a lot of samples and
broken lines at varied pi ices.
We are going to pass this good
lot of Knickers on to the boys
right now, with a very small
profit, and can tell you that it
will pay you to buy a pair of odd
knickers for your boy now. In
a few weeks the boys will want
new spring suits and this will
keep them going for a while..
We want to give the boys a
square deal. We have always
tried to do it in the past and will
try to keep it up

To the Editor of The News -Record :
Sir,-Pertnit me to present to your
readers a few arguments for and
against the propped measure, which
will be voted Upon 10th inst.' There
Is a good deal of misconception
abroad, which possibly some concise,
reliable information, will not only
tend to dissipate, but will be wet -
coined by those who do not possess
, the necessary facilitiee for acquiring
it themselves.
• I will not here consider the question
of the contract the Council made with
Mr, • Doherty ten years ago, We are
not living in the past, but to -day,
and for tlui future. Many, leYsen in: -
eluded, think the contract wee an
equitable one. Even those thin'ting
otherwise will concede the inutility
of crying over spilt milk. The ques-
tion before lis is, where are we to-
day, and evhat is proposed under the
