afternoon of hearing the Bell Ringers,
whogave a concert ithe

DO KEEP DOWN THE DUST.
Art Albert street citizen said to
The News -Record on Tuesday :
"Retail merchants are indignant
those "dry” days over the watt the
duet ist blowing into - their stores.
They claim it is only are occasional
day in tie week that they can leave
their store doors open ori account of
the dust. Has the council not been
able to get a man and team to do
the watering ? If not why not buy a
team of horses and 'hire a man 'isy
the year ? Would this not solve tine
difficulty ? Get busy cAGncillors and
keep down the dust,"
CLINTON WON.

over the season is yet young, such a

the spectators grew quite enthusias-
tic. The locals have a linrup that,
engirt to easily win the pelmet it
there was such a thing as a district

cd every step of the way, however,

The News -Record bas front time to

GOOD WATER PRICELESS.
No estimate•oan be placed en the
value of good water and there is .no
place in Canada where better water
can t,e sectored than from the Clinton
Waterworks System.
There are as yet 'a number of hood
es where connections have still to be.
made before the town is fully sup-
plied ;and the Superintendent, H. B,
Chant, will be glad tohave your ap-
plication.
n. o
There are also many of the stores
and offices that ought to be connected
with the town system.
Wear° can you get better value for
forty-five cents a month than all the
puire water you e•an drink ? We ven-
ture ro to saythat hi
riireds i
n the
cities would be willing to pay $25 a
month if they could get it,
Be loyal and put in your applica-:

reeve and a.weal ; the reeve of Col-
borne and secretary .ol the Teleplioue
system; and tie .president of the Mc-
Killop company. The matter of Net-
ter connection with Colborne and
Blyth was the chief topic under dis-
eussion and McKillop! and Blyth ex
pressing themselves as willing to
make the necessary extension to their
lines if the Bell -Co. would grant con
o etion at Clinton,, it is plainly '`Ftp
to" the big company to do.someteing.
Free, or rather connection with a
five -cent toll, with these two sys-
tems would mean considerableto the
business men of Clinton and sufrrotnd
ing district an they would have access
to the two hundred phones in Col-

The committee have communicated

ing something definite will, be the

WR.AT THE STORM DID.
Yesterday meninges storm was an
unusually severe one and the hydro
system suffered somewhat during its
progress. A big maple tree on Hur-
on street, one which is said to have
been condentmd by the council years
ago but whir„b Inn not hurl removed,
was :nattered and in lalling dragged
down the hydro- wires and brolus neff
a post bearing a lamp. There was
also a break on Princess street and
another cis Albert, the whole treu-
c
hle being caused d ,hy trees. The great -
eat loss to ten town, however, was
the blowing over .of the smokestack
on the old power 'House on Mary St.,
'which is still being partially used
in cossr ction with the knitting mill.
The breaks), in. tits hydro lines were
quickly repaired and the service re-
sumed, in a Pew hours,

Did the Zurich Candidate
Work at the late Election
for the Abolition of the
Bar?
The Zurich candidate 1ar.the Legis-
lature is naw astride < the Rowell'
plank -Abolish 'Phe Bar. He may
have other planks but about this one.
he is most vociferous -for reasons
that are so very easily seen as to
almost hide the plank itself.
Now that he is out in : til7 orient
might the ask—the query is a xespeet-
ful and reasonable ogee --die this now
champion of Abolish the Bar, addre1S
any public meetings in :the January
campaign in favor of abolishing i;oth
the Bar and the Shop in the county
of Huron, his home township, and
village in particular. 1f tie did not
advocate the cause on the platform,
did he do so through the columns of
his widely circulated paper, the Zur-
ich Herald,
If he did not des either editorial or
k'in platform, nor n fa of of the Scott.
Act did lie assist in organization or
use his personal influence in bringing
out the vote.
The Zurieh candidate must clear
up these points or some of the elec-
tors
lecttors for whose support he is appeal-
ingmay grow uneasy for at are best
t
theyare rather see is
sceptical as to the
gonuiness of Ills platform, inas-
much as he did not take up the Row-
ell plank until the .people 'of Huron
had themselves abolished Both Bar
and Shop. . •

DO KEEP DOWN THE DUST.
Art Albert street citizen said to
The News -Record on Tuesday :
"Retail merchants are indignant
those "dry” days over the watt the
duet ist blowing into - their stores.
They claim it is only are occasional
day in tie week that they can leave
their store doors open ori account of
the dust. Has the council not been
able to get a man and team to do
the watering ? If not why not buy a
team of horses and 'hire a man 'isy
the year ? Would this not solve tine
difficulty ? Get busy cAGncillors and
keep down the dust,"

riireds i

been condentmd by the council years

was :nattered and in lalling dragged
down the hydro- wires and brolus neff
a post bearing a lamp. There was
also a break on Princess street and
another cis Albert, the whole treu-
c
hle being caused d ,hy trees. The great -
eat loss to ten town, however, was
the blowing over .of the smokestack
on the old power 'House on Mary St.,
'which is still being partially used
in cossr ction with the knitting mill.
The breaks), in. tits hydro lines were
quickly repaired and the service re-

Did the Zurich Candidate
Work at the late Election
for the Abolition of the
Bar?
The Zurich candidate 1ar.the Legis-
lature is naw astride < the Rowell'
plank -Abolish 'Phe Bar. He may
have other planks but about this one.
he is most vociferous -for reasons
that are so very easily seen as to
almost hide the plank itself.
Now that he is out in : til7 orient
might the ask—the query is a xespeet-
ful and reasonable ogee --die this now
champion of Abolish the Bar, addre1S
any public meetings in :the January
campaign in favor of abolishing i;oth
the Bar and the Shop in the county
of Huron, his home township, and
village in particular. 1f tie did not
advocate the cause on the platform,
did he do so through the columns of
his widely circulated paper, the Zur-
ich Herald,
If he did not des either editorial or
k'in platform, nor n fa of of the Scott.
Act did lie assist in organization or
use his personal influence in bringing
out the vote.
The Zurieh candidate must clear
up these points or some of the elec-
tors
lecttors for whose support he is appeal-
ingmay grow uneasy for at are best
t
theyare rather see is
sceptical as to the
gonuiness of Ills platform, inas-
much as he did not take up the Row-
ell plank until the .people 'of Huron
had themselves abolished Both Bar
and Shop. . •
