The following extract from a letter recently received by Mr. Jas. Fair from Messrs, Bruce C Weelson, Glas- gow, Scotland, speaks for itself "There are firms that we have done a much larger business with than yours, butt we have correspond- ed with none whose conneotcion was held In such high esteem as yours.

Mayor Gibbings, Courisillor tied. Jackson and President Rainsford of the Board of Trade were appointed to represent Clinton on a delegatdon to wait upon the county council to ask. for a grane for a Huron Publicity. Campaign.

BOT A CLINTON. Mr. Johnny Dodds of Seaforth, aft- er lookingover other makesof, s t,ar has bought Clintonr g a to motor truck which will be delivered res him next week. Mr. Dodds realizes Oat if he can save a day' a week in the delivery of his goods that he will'havc just so' much more time for manufacturing or for recreation, just as he chooses.. THE CHANCES ARE GOOD. At a erecting held on Tuesday even- ing of those interested in seeing a good, big skating rink built in Cline ton, and to consider the proposition of an outsider to build a good rink for a bonus of $600 and freedom from taxation, it was decided to ' pass ar- ound a subscription list amongst our citizens and see with what encour- agement would be met. If suc- cessful enough to warrant such a move an effort will be made to form a local company to undertake tele d project in prefereno; to giving it to an outsider. The matter was left in thehands, e a of a representative ,sentatr c cour- P m,ittee consisting of T. Jackson Jr,, A. J. Morrish, Harry Barthiff, harry Twitchell and Dr. Shaw. It is safe saying that the project will receive every encouragement and that by the opening of next season Clintou wet have an up-to-date rink. OBSERVE THE GOLDEN RULE., Chief' Wheatley received an'anony- mous letter the other slay from an indignant •citizen who has been wor- ried by persons, not always children, either, trespassing upon private }ro- perty, plucking flowers withou\tleave, etc., and when remonsterated with, "giving lip.'"The writer wanted to know if there was any law Whi•,h +, would it o, chouseholders ,, t 1 from such annoyances. Presumably there is. The British law protects every hinge lions a man's life down to 'lie ver- iest tittle of property, Bub :a a town like Clinton it showed not be necessary, to have to resort to law foe any such cause, The r.nitireron law of courtesy, and respect for the right's of others, which is suppeeed to be inherent in every true 3ritish breast, should suffice in a ease of this kind. When -anyone takes the trouble to plant a garden„ thee nu - ding to the beauty of the lawn, it cer;!ainly should be allowed to grow unmolested by alien hands, nil if there is. anyone in Clinton so lack- ing in right principles as to thus meddle wilts the property of others it is hoped that he will mend his Ways, forthwith. As a cure for this bias of meld The News -Record would recommend the "gettlpg back eo the soil," that is get to work and cul- tivate a garden of his• own. PASSING Ole' MRS.
