Lang, who has been con- ducting an implement business here for some time, left this week for Park- hill, where he will follow the sameoc- cupation. Mr. Lang is a man of: good business principles and we therefore take pleasure is recommending hint to the people of Parkhill and vicinity.t Will Moncur, an employe of Messrs. Ei. Bishop & Son met with a painful accident on Monday which will render him unable to work for some time. It seems he was engaged in cutting sheet iron with a machine and in some way his leg came in contact with the sharp edge of the iron, cutting a large .and painful gash between three and four inches long just below the knee. It re- quired several stitches to sew the wound up. Every newspaper treasures up in its memory the names of its friends. and likewise its enemies. It never over- looks an opportunity to assist the for- mer, but never goes out of the way to aid the latter. Human nature is the same everywhere. People who show a newspaper man kindness never make a better investment or one that more surely repays them an hundred -fold sooner or later. As has been truly said: "There occasionally comes a time in the life of every man when a word said by a newspaper either makes or un- makes the individual mentioned. No man is too poor to take his local newspaper, says an exchange, and it is false economy to get along without it, Hardly a week passes that something does not appear in its columns that will be a financial benefit to the subscriber and by the end of the year he has made or saved from one to twenty times its subscription price. The city papers do not take the place of your local paper although some people seem to think they do. The city papers ,re all right in their way but they don't give you what you are most interested in—.your local and county news. You cannot learn from them when public meetings are to be held, who are dying or who are marrying, who are moving out, court proceedings, who wants to sell land—in fact, hundreds of items which might be of particular importance for you to know. Such matter city papers cannot furnish, but your local paper can 'and does. Prize Winners, The following stock breeders of this vicinity took prizes at the Western Fair, London:—H. &: W.

It May Mean Ton. " The Clinton News Record voices our sentiment to a dot in the following:— "If the farmers ever bad reason to be thankful for good crops that occasion bas arrived. While we allre,joiceover the abundant harvest it 15 still neces- sary to refer to the fact that many of our readers are in arrears for their paper, If you are one of them dear reader, kindly remember that we too, are longing for a good harvest, and hope to garner the dollars due us as somi as p e possible, Will all readers whose subscriptions are due remit at once? The label should read '98," It is stated in recent cases of poison- ing from eating canned goods, the' symptoms only developed after those seized had partaken of salmon or beef which had been permitted to remain in a can for some hours after it was open- ed. Herein lies the great danger, When a can is opened, its contents should be placed in an earthenware or glass dish until such time as required for consumption. It has been demon- strated beyond a doubt that if canned fish, beef or other produce is exposed in the can for any length of time after it has been opened, the action of the air sets at work certain ehemical agencies that develop poison, and render it most. dangerous for anyone to partake of the contents. This fact cannot be too widely known, When canned goods are marketed in cans absolutely air- tight, as all good brands are, and when the contents are wholly removed as soon as the can is opened, the danger is averted. Winter Apples. Any person wanting choice hand picked apples, cap get the same from W. EL Levett. Delivery made in Oct. Harvest Home !Services. Harvest Home Services will be held in the James St. Methodist Church'next Sunday and Monday, Sept., 29 and 30. These will be the last services held in the old church in its present form.

Admission to supper on Monday evening adults, 25cts. children 15cts, We stated in our last issue that Clin- ton would pay 50c. per light for its electric lighting. It should have been 20c. Wilbur, the Eldest son of Mr. Ed. Bissett, of Forest, formerly of Exeter, while playing with a lawn' mower on Saturday had the tips of two of the fingers of his right hand badly cut. 'the second finger had to be amputated at the first joint, Last week the contracts.for the erec- tion of the new addition to the James Street Methodist Church were awarded to the following persons:—Mr. Geo. Heaman, brickwork, Messrs. Dyer and Howard, Carpenterwork and Mr. James Down, painting. The new structure when completed is to cost $3000, not in- cluding seating or other furnishings. The work has been commenced and is to be completed by December 12th, 1395. A:red-polled cow at Whittlingbam, England, has yielded milk continuous- ly since she ceased calving five years ago, her record being 13,734 quarts of milk of the first quality. No other case like this is known. Mr. Wright, farmer, 70 years of age, of Kingsford, was victimized out of $150 Friday, A stranger and Wright were going into speculation, and the sharper represented to Wright that to make the bargain binding he would put up 51,000 in a box, and Wright put his 5150. Wright was to hold the box, and the stranger the key, until arrange ments were completed. Wright after a time feared that everything was not all right, and had the box opened, and it ouly contained a; roll of paper. This is another case of two boxes just alike and an unsuspecting farmer.
