In 'referring to the 'bus item in our last
issue, the Clinton NEw ERA remarks:
" We only keep it up here to lend to one-
horse towns like Seaforth and Goderich."
Yes, Mr. Stephens intends purchasing the
"old crowbates" that used to haul it to
the station: , $e will then donate them to
the citizens of Clinton fer-a•hat rack for
their town hall.—Sun. ,[Yes, and if he
does, it willbe the fist articles. Seaforth
ite-ever donated to any one outside their,
own. town.? .
MoLsoi s BANIc.—Owing to the. large
increase in the volume of business, the
Molsons Bank branch in this town,'have
found it necessary to engage the services
of.another assistant. -The general work-
ing of the ; office has also undergone a
change-11.1r..'Sinylie, who has been. per
forming the double duty of accountant
and teller, 'now attends to -his duties as
accountant, Mr. Siddell, as teller, and a
son of Mr.,C A. Hartt acts as junior.
lir Siddell will shortly be transferred to
Winnipeg, and -his place will be taken by
Mr. W. H. Ransford, -who has commenced
his duties.' . The' Bank has purchased a
valuable property in Winnipeg, and will
at once open there. The result of the
last year's business; here must be very
gratifying to the, management, as• not-
withstanding the large amount: of busi-
ness done, not one dollarhas been lost,

THE NEW ERA is' not us y given
to
boastingor 1 it own trumpet,'
blowing- s o p ,
but there are occasions when, in the inter-
est ofthe ratepayers, it beeomes necessary.
to, make mention of a few facts, espdally
as it fully confirms our repeated tverbal,
assertion -that the town printing was being
done as cheap,' if not' cheaper, than al-
most any other place, notwithstanding the
absence of local competition. A short
time ago the:' annualreport of the Model
School was inserted in the NEW ERA and
Record; bein„Aidentical in both papers.
The charge of the NEV ERA for the same
was ';$2,• (the same as on previous occa-
sions) the Record was paid $3: The'Au-
ditors' Report of the town was inserted in
both papers one issue, last month, and_ 50
copies of thereport ordered ofthe .Record.
OniManday'night the bill wassent to the
Council• for the sane ; the Record asking
$10j.for the insertion in the paper and $6
for the fifty copies of the report, a •total'of
$161.' Now what we wish to call special
attention to is this :—In 1880: and in 1881
thel-NEw ERA inserted the 'report ,and
printed one hundred ;copies on each .occa-
sion; and was paid.; $8.50 for the sante,
-and not only;.was tile„ large_difference in'
price in favor of:the NEW ERA, but the
work was done without error, while.. we
defy anyoneto add up the first column of
figures on the report; as issued, by the
Record, and make it total as they have it.
The Finance: Committee, on. Monday
night, very properly ,refused to consider
the, account. We don't object to our co-
temporary gettingreasonable;, prices for
work, but we 'do object to its, getting 'ex-
orbitant rates out of the town;funds. We;
may just state; that we not.,only labor toy
give good work to all who may patronize
us, but that our charges are as moderate
as they can reasonably be

culated that it was the George Betts late

far as known, he being now a resident of
Flint, Mich. Owing to the. rope -break-
ing on Monday, the town bell was not
rang as usual, until therope was re-
