Popular goods must be made to meet
the requirements and demands of the
dotes. We can't stand still; we must
either move forward or backward.
Our goods contain distinct features
that have artistic merit, and claim the
attention of every customer.
Qne censtant aim is to produce gar-
meats that have a character—a per-
sonality of their own, to leave the old
1`aeatentrack, and rise above the con
ventional and common place.

don Branch of the Canadian Express
Company, with whom he has been
connected for the past fourteen years.
Mr. Bayley is about to sever his con-
nection with the company, and the
action of his fellow -employes on , the

most successful career in that line.
He has our very best wishes.
Provincial Sunday School Workers.
The coming Provincial Convention
of the Ontario Sabbath School Asso-
ciation, at Hamilton, October 25, 26,27,
promises to be one of the best conven-
tions in the history of the province.
Sunday School Workers " generally
are urged to make this the greatest
convention in the historyof the Ontar-
io Sabbath School Association, and
there is every indication of a record
being made. All Sunday Schools may
appoint representatives in the ratio
of one for each hundred or fraction of
a hundred on its roll. For pillets and
other information, delegates should
apply to the Secretary of the Associa-
tion, rooms 99-100, Confederation Life
Building, Toronto, before October 20.
A Wedding and Other Things, `
This is the touching way an which a
Wisconsin editor wrote up a wedding.
—"Miss Jennie Jones and Bob Henry
were married at the Jones mansion
last night. The bride is a daughter of
our constable Jones, who is a good of-
ficer and will undoubtedly be re elect-
ed next: spring. He offers a fine horse
for sale in another column. The
groom runs a grocery store on Main
street and is a good patron of our ad.
columns and has a fine lot of bargains
this week. All summer he paid two
cents more a pound for butter than
any other store in the town. The
happy couple left on the ten o'clock
train to visit the bride's uncle in Mil-
waukee, who is reported to have lots
of money and Bright's disease. .Bob
certainly has an eye for business."
Nervy Thief.
The bar room of the Mansion House
was again entered by a sneak thief on
Sunday exerting last and somewhere
between $8 and $10 taken from the
till. The robbery took place about '7
o'clock in the evening, at which time
the proprietor and some friends were
engaged in conversation in the sitting
room across the hall, This is :the
third or fourth time the room has been
entered and it was a mystery as to
how the thief made his entrance, he
having covered his tracks so complete-
ly, On Sunday night, however, he
seems to have hurried away leaving
the barroom door, a little Window and.
a fanlight over the door open, show-
ing that be had entered through the
washroom, moved a table so as to put
his arm through the opening of the
fanlight, open the little window neat
the door catch and, then by means, of
the .window opened the floor, ' The
rest was easy.

House of Reffae Notes
The funeral was held on Friday to Bal ezy
Clinton Cemetery, of the late James
St. John, who died the day previous at
the H. of R. where he had resided for
the past three months, owing to a
mental trouble that could not be look-
ed after at his home. The deceased
had lived to a good old age being near-
ly 90, and owned a good farrr on the
7th of Goderich township, on which
his bereaved wife now resides with a
married step -son. Mr. and Mrs. St.
John were not blessed with children
of their own flesh and blood, but be-
ing comfortably situated, did their
part out of the goodness of their hearts
in rearing and seeing some nine adopt-
ed children well started in life.—"Tom-
my" Sherman, the oldest man in the
county, crossed the bar on Saturday.
He is supposed to have been 103 years
of age, but the exact date of his birth
is not known. He was a native of
Bedfordshire, England, brit came to
Clinton in 1850 and continued' a resi-
dent until he entered the House of Re-
fuge five years ago. He possessed a
splendid constitution and his passing
awaywas due to no particular ail-
ment, but to the wearing out of his
physical machinery.
Fred Coleman's Fatal Fall.
The unfortunate accident which oc-
cured in Fort William, Ont., about two
weeks ago resulted in the death of Mr.
Fred Coleman, formerly of Exeter, on
Saturday night last. Mr, Coleman left
Exeter about four'. years ago, and re-
sided in various places in Ontario and
the Northwest until a few months ago,
when he went to Fort William with
his wife. He commenced work at his
trade as a painter, and he was engaged
at his trade when injured. He and a
number of other painters were engag-
ed on the inside of a large grain eleva-
tor. The work was dangerous, as the
workman had to be supended from the
roof of the building by ropes. The.
work had to be done in a hurry, as the
elevator was needed along with others
for the season's crop. Coleman. was
working near the top of the elevator,
when the rope by which he was sus-
pended snapped, and he fell to the
floor, a distance of nearly a hundred
feet. Strange to say he was not in-
stantly killed, though he received ter-
rible injuries. His right leg and his
right arm, on which he had fallen,
were badly fractured, and his" right
side w -as crushed. It was thought from
the outset that there was no possible
chance of his recovery. Mrs. Coleman,
of Exeter, the injured man's mother,
and her son John, of London, left for
Fort William when notified of the ac-
cident. Encouraging reports were
sent home regarding the condition of
the injured man, oonsequently word
of his death came as a shock. The•re-
mains were interred at Fort William
on Monday. Besides his mother, the
Late Mr. Coleman leaves a wife, a na-
tive of Ottawa, and to whom he was
married only five months ago; and
two brothers, John, employed by. J.
Tune & Son, in London, and George in
Exeter. He was about 25 years of age.

On Tuesday night last a horse own-
ed by Mr. Wm. Bernick; of Usborne,
was driven to town by( Messrs. Win.
Parsons and Thos. Hatter, and while
the animal was left standing tied to a
post in front of a business house at
the north end of the village some per-
son untied it and drove it away. Dili-
gent search was made in all conceiv-
able quarters for the stolen property
but no trace could be found of it until
Wednesday morning when the outfit
was found in the Central Hotel sheds.
It was evidently the work of a joker
but the ones on whom the joke was
played do not take kindly to that kind
of joke, and are now seeking revenge.
