DOESN'T TRAVEL MUCH. - Mr
Thos. Stevenson, one of the oldest
residents of this place, concluded be
would visit some friends in Goderich
last week, and did so. There's noth-
ing singular in this, but there is in
the fact that he had not previously
been there for thirteen years.

ber of tools were stolen from McKen-
zie's Planing Factory, and offered for

THE Expositer is incorrect in stat-
ing that the population of Clinton
was always ahead of Seaforth. It is
true that Clinton had an existence
before Seaforth, but if the Expositer
will refer to its fyles of 1876-79 it will
find that Seaforth had the start in
poini of population. Now, however,
Clintbn has the lead by 348.
SOME of our subscribers have paid
their arrears since our hint last week,
but there are any number more who
have not. $1.50 from each of those
owing us, would take a heavy burden
off, our shoulders, and make life
brighter. Reader,if•you owe us,please
pay it up, and if you.don't you can
afford to smile at the way we are try-
ing to wake up " the other fellow."
We had a call on Monday from
Mr James T. Johns. a well-known
newspaper man, and lately connected
with the Ottawa Free Press. He is
now acting as special manager for
Howe's Circus, and while he will no
doubt make more money in his pre-
sent connection.he will not exercise
the moral influence he would have
done bad he remained at newspaper
work.

WORLD-WIDE REPuCATION.-The
following clippingfrom.aNew York
hat journal speaks well for the well
known firm of Jackson tiros.: -Messrs

tablishment which fur appearance,
style and convenience will compare
favorably with . most metropolitan
houses. This firm enjoys a very ex-
tensive trade in clothing, hats and

fined entirely to the town of Clinton.
They have a host of customers from
the adjaceut towns and villages.

becoming more and more a recognized
centre for trade, and in no way is
this more strikingly shown than in
