The North Middlesex Patrons of In- dustry met at Ailsa Craig Thursday to consider the advisability of ratifying the selection of Mr. J H. Axexander as a candidate for the Legislature, and W. H. Taylor, as candidate for the House of Commons. It has been dis covered recently that Mr. Alexander is connected with the P.P. A. He has, in fact, been tendered the nomination of the P. P. A. convention, held in Ailsa Craig, and there is dissatisfaction in the ranks of the Patrons because of his close alliance with that organization. It is known,thatt many Protestant Pat- rons, as well as Catholic tw inbers of that body, decline to support auy can- didate who endorses the views of the P. P. A. No. 15 District Independent Order of, Oddfeilows held them semi•ann nal con vention in Brucefield on Friday last. The meeting was very largely attend- ed. Brothers Nairn and Wilson, of Goderieh Chautz and Stoneham, of Clinton; Beattie, of Sea£orth; Trash, of Brucefield; Elder and Blatchford of Hensall ; Lamhrook, of Exeter being the representatives and a great num- ber of Past Grands from the District. Bro. Ponlestone, D. D. G. M., occupied. the chair and Bro, Buckingham acted as secy. The meeting was interesting throughout and took several hours to dispense with the business. After the meeting was over the convention was invited to the hotel,where a magnificent supper was provided for all. The next semi-annual meeting will be called by the D. D. G. M. and will be held in Exeter. County Sabbath School Association. The Executive Committee of the Hu- ron County Sabbath School Association consisting of Messrs Jas, Scott, H. Fos ter, 1 Taylor, J. C.

Blake, of Toronto, well-known as one of the best S, S. workers in Canada, and the con- yention being held in Clinton it is ax. petted therewill be a large attendane._ r., e of elliitterested its work of this nature. The Weather. The unusually mild weather, at this season of the year, is not the weather peoplelook for, and the general opinion is that later iu the season "we'll have to pay for it." Business men do not like it because they cannot sell heavy goods; farmers do not like it because they cannot do their teaming, as usua 1, and seemingly the only compensation in it is to the poor man, who can make a saving in fuel. A Cheeky Swindle. A swindle that was more bare faced than ingenious has recently been un- earthed. "The Empire Manufacturing Co.," of Brooklyn, advertised "easy em- ployment for women at home." It de manded $1,25, for which it would send samples of work with full instructions. It turns out that the "company" was a swindler named Fergus, who. in return for the money, sent out small pieces of silk with directions to make them into neckties. The "company's works" con- consist of a cheap room,somestationery and a few yards of silk. Remo"v"al. For several days the immenso stock of Messrs. Rich. Pickard Si; Son Lies been in course of removal to their new premises opposite Carling Bros. This well known firrn can now boast of hav- ing the handsomest store in town if not the hest in the county, The interior is all of modern design elegantly finished, well appointed and commodious, and every visitor must be struck wish the magnificent appearance. The ADVO- CATE wishes there the gratifying suc- eess in the future and in their new place of business, that has crowned their honesty and square dealing in the past. Duped by Peddlars, There has been considerable talk in town, by persons who believe they have been taken in by peddlers during the last few days. These oily -tongued fellows, by representing that the whole- sale houses they claimed to be travel- ling for, would sell goods away down low in price, if parties: would first of all buy goods to the value of $33, suc- ceeded ucceeded in selling a number of parcels and getting the purchaser's notes therefor. Some of the parties claim they have been taken in, while others think they have received good yalue, Be this as it may, one thing is certain -the wholesale houses cannot and will not sell goods at the prices named. Further, townspeople have been tau tioned scores of times, against purchase ing goods in this way. Butt from your owntocal dealers, and fro,- them only, If any established business man made the promises said to have been made by these peddlers, people would plainly say they did not believe thein. Every dollar sent out of town is just so much loss to the business of the town, and there should be enough interest in its welfare, to prevent a Single dollar' being sentout that might he spent at home. If people have been duped, they have ne one to blame but themselves; and the lesson learned should serveior all time to come.-Clintot, iTeu Era.
