AB®.UT KINGS
There has been a lot of care and time expended in
selecting .this ring stock of ours. Quite a good deal
of money spent, too, for we wanted it above all, things
as complete as wecould possibly get it.
We have some particularly handsome stone co ro-
binations. for ladies.
Also attractive effects for gentlemen, some of theta
sell for $2.00, and from that price go away up to
over a hundred dollars.
Then we have some cute little rings for the young-
er folks for $1,00 and thereabouts.
You will be perfectly safe if you depend upon
this store for your ring needs.

IMPROVING.
1 nvat
The S. A. 'hall is to be so re o rd
as to be almost as 'good as new. That
is, it is to have a new foundation,
and a new roofs while the interior is
to be transformed. Chairs will also
take the place of the old benches that
have done duty for so long. All this
work will cost considerable money,
six hundred or seven hundred dollars
no lees. This is quite au undertak-
ing for the local corps, but head-
quartirs witt contribute a goodly per-
centage and a number of citizens, out-
side the Army, are also chipping in
liberally, so that when the western,
carpenters, painters, etc„ have finish-
ed their contracts, but little indebted-
ness will remain on the S. A: place of
worship.
9'HE TOWN COUNCIL.
Mayor Gibbings got somewhat out
of patience with the way the pro-
ceedings lagged at Morley night's
meeting of the town council and in re-
lation thereto he expressed himself
pointedly. In short he said : "Busi-
ness has been unnecessarily slow here
tonight, There is an apparent want
01 familiarity with the subjects dis-
cussed and mnclh talk iabout matters
which should have been settled in
committee, The Chair will appreci-
ate
greater despatch."
Mr. Harry Bartlif was appointed
fire chief instead of Mr; R. A, Downs
who has moved elsewhere. Harry in
point of service is almost an old fire-
man. He is active, hears the first
tap of the alarm bell, is on the scene
with the very first, works like a tro-
jaw and is popular with the members
of the brigade. He will bo an A I,
0 K Fire Chief.
The report of the cometery com-
mittee recommended that the south-
east corner of "God's 'Acre" be re-
served for sale only on etho permanent
improvement plan. That is lots sold
there will be at a mics that will en-
sure their perpetual up -keep. There
will be no after assessments for.
grass 'cutting, etc., that be;°'g the
duty of the town whichowns the
cemetery.
Some months ago a big drain was
laid down at the corner of Albert and.
Rattenbrrry streets which enanlea the
town hall and several private Kuper -
ties being, drained. The understand-
ing was that the private c e tiers
would defray a portion of the tat.
As sonic of them have not yet 'put
up" the couneil deckled that ri they
don't do so very soon the connection.
will be cut.
A petition was presented asking
that a sidewalk be built on the ituth
side of the track at the Bayfield Road
crossing. In building this walk it
will be necessary to widen the road
bed and the clerk was instructed to
correspond with the Grand Trunk in
regard to the natter.'
The street committee will improve
the road from the track to the cor-
poration limit.
By the way, the street committee
has only sixty dollars of• its appro-
priation left and the end of the year
is yet far distant. It is expected,
though, that some of the other com-
mittees may be able to make a saving
and hand the balance ` over to the
street committee.
The lane running from Mr. Davy
Beacom's lane to Seeley & West's
pump. Is - to be made' more passable,
and a cement gutter is to be laid
down an Huron street, starting at
about Mr, Seruton's meat mart.
More money 'is to be expended on
the. Mary street drain, starting at the
west end and working. up. The :com-
mittee will wait though for a dry
spell.
The council of Goderich• having ask-
ed for the use of Clinton's read-
making outfit on a rental basis, our
council has in a neighborly way
granted their request.,
The street sweeper was .aocepted and
the purchase price, three hundred dol-
lars, was ordered to be paid over to
the manufacturers.,:
Ceemcillor T, Jackson, who always
has-samething new and progressive to
suggest, said "Our leading streets
are now in such excellent condition
that they are a source of Pride to
the town. Why can't we now turn
our attedtionto some of our less
prominent streets and macadamize
them' also.. As the roadbed need not
be so wide the cost will be much less

LOTS OF BEANS;
Mr, Isaac Rathwell of the Bayfield
Line, Goderich township, brought in
a bean: stalk on Tuesday from which
hung fifty-six well-developed pods as
well as many minor ones. Mr. Rath
well picked the stalk at random and
says the ground is covered with others
just as productive. If the beans
ripen up nicely Mr. ' Rathwell will
have a much larger crop than he ex-
pected earlier in the season.
LOOKS ON BRIGHT SIDE,
"I'm not kicking about, the rain-
fall," said Mr. Wes, Marquis of Hul-
lett to The News.Record on Satur-
day. "Yes, there has been a good
deal of it but those of us who
handled the shocks have not fared so
badly at all. I,finished getting in
my grain yesterday:"
"F finished housing my grain this
afternoon," said Mr. Frank Powell of
the 10th con. on Friday evening,
"and while ' • isnotdryasI

would liked to have seen it, I fancy
it will thresh out all right."
A PRESENTA'TION.
The choir of Ontario': street church
went down in a body to the home of
Mr. R. A. Downs on Tuesday evening,
the object of the visit being to pres-
ent to him, as a slight token of their
appreciation of his long services in
connection with that body, a hand-
some silk umbrella. After the pres-
entation had been made and Mr.
Downs had expressed his thanks for
the thoughtfulness of his friends, all
repaired to the restaurant for ice
cream. Mr. Downs has been a valued
member of the choir and his depart-
ure from town is considered a dis-
tinct'loss and is murk regretted.
MANY HAPPY RETURNS.
MIr. Isaac Jacksone one of Clinton's
oldest citizens, celebrated his eighty-
second birthday yesterday. Mr,
Jackson is not only one of the oldest
in actual age, but also in, regard to
length of residence, it being very
early in the ef ties when be, with oth-
er members of the family, settled
here. Three brothers are still resi-
dents of town, Messrs, Isaao, John
and Thomas,' and they have during
their long residera^e here seen many
changes.
Alert, active, going about hie daily
duties in connection with the ware -
rooms of the Jackson Mfg. Co., with

Jackson might easily be taken for a
man twenty years younger. The
News -Record but eshoes the senti-
ments of his many friends in wishing
slim many happy returns.

Mr. Harry Morris of Goderich, the
district deputy.,
Grand Master Workman.McEwen of
Toronto was present and for an hour
aad a half sought to er:plain why the

that therate now fixed; was unfair
and unjust to the older members of
