vention in the west ;•icing. In the ab-
sence of Rtesinent Manning, of Olin -
ton, ,s0'arden Girvin, of Wawanosh,

of Mr Cameron was made by 1) A For
rester, of Clinton, seconded by Win
Mallough, of Ashfield, and the nomi-
nation was the prelude to tremendous
cheers for the candidate, who had on
[so many occasions curried the Liberal
banner to victory in former political
contests. Mr Cameron who was un=
able to be present at the convention,
owing to business engagements, was at
once notified by telegraph from the
convention of his unanimous selection
and a second telegram, sighed by Mor-
gitn Dalto i, of Kingseridge, and 100
other young Liberals, was also sent
pledging an unfaltering support to the
old Reform chief in the approaehing
strnggle. 'While awaiting the reply of

Everything considered, we have no
,3.
reason to complain of the volume of our •
trade this far, but owing to the unusual-
ly large harvest of'last season, together
with the prospect of remunerative prioes,
we were tenanted into heavier purchases
of all lines of fall and winter goods than
ever before and in consequence of that
we still have an immense quantity of
winter goods that must be cleared out at
what they will bring, for we are deter-
mined not to carry them over summer,
So if you need any winter goods, better
come early and select what you want.
You will find our giices in all other lines
very tempting; the faot is we have far
more goods than we require and far less
money than we need, hence the. saorifi-
ccs we are ready to make.
We keep everything in boots and shoes,
slippers, felt boots, overshoes, rubbers, '
&o., very cheap.
