Allin, pastor of the On- tario Street church, during hie ser- mon on Sunday evening on "The In- ter -Relation of the Home, he Sehool and the Church," said he had never been in a town where they .had such Prefect , streets as there are in Clin- ton or where the citizens paid as great attention to keepang their siretn- ises clean and tidy or .took greater Internet in the welfare of the town as a whole. THE FLOWER BLOCK. •"This is the onion block," said Mr. William °minion of Victoria street In The News -Record oh Sunday. "Yes, we can grow onions all right and have lots of them, as pm can see for yourself," added his neighbor, Big Chief Wheat- ley, "but it would be more like the thing to call it 'flower block' for Lour or five of es down here grow more flowers than any ether block in town." The Chief referred to his own pretty garden aid to that of his veighbors, Messrs. R. Fitzsimons, W. Cudrnore and Ed. Munro, Mr, Fred. Rumball, who was present dur- ing the conversation, gave it as his opinion that the garden of • Mr. George Davis • is the prettiest in town, but whichever leads The News -Record is pleased to mark •its appreciation of the efforts of our citizens in thus beautifying their properties and as a natural consequence adding to the appearance of the town, • 50,000 BARRELS MORE. "If all the orchards in Huron • County had been properly • sprayed there would have been an• increase of 50,000 barrels or • apples fit for export,"- • D. Cantelon. Er Cantelon is one of the best • known apple buyers in Western On- tario. For many yeas he has bought' in all parts of the Province, but this season will confine his en- ergies very largely to Huron County. Mr, Cantelon is an advocate of spraying because he has seen • its good results and this season its value is being so generally demonstrated that the orchardist who doesn't in future spray will be considered be- hind the tiimes. He says that the trees in an orchard properly sprayed will yield eighty to ninety percent • of fruit fit for export, if not sprayed half the fruit will only be saleable at the evaporator, In hie contract- ing, campaign he is paying special at- tention to sprayed orchards, The orchard of Mr. Whit. Oriels of Tuckerstnith serves to illustrate. A strong wind was blowing while Mr, Crich was spraying and as a result only one side of the trees caught the !spray. It, You had time to drive over to see the orchard today • you would see one side ca the trees with perfect foliage and covered with fruit [1 while on the -other side there are no Wes. All the • farmers in the neighborhood have as a result of a visit became corrinced that it is useless trying to raise apples profit- ably without spraying. • Mr. Cantelon has bought the Blair Fires. orchard on the 4th con. of Goderieh township far $475. There are trees there which will yield ten, twelve and lourteen barrels of export- able fruit. Needless to say Blair Biers. spray. The orchard of Mrs. Lindsay is within a stone throw of that of Blair 13ros, and the -"trees fairly gli.t- ter with the fruit, of which judges say there will be close upon one thousand barrels, nearly all No. 1. The. orchard ot Eltiott Bros, is not far distant and it too, is a delight to the eye. Experts say that the yield of Spys, Russets, Kings and Baldwins will not, be under one thousaed bar- rels. Messre. 11. and J. Young, who may be said to he in the, same neigh- borhood, have • the best orop they ever had. ' Mr, John Woods of Applegrovts h'arm, near Hayfield, has cared tor his orchard and now the trees are almost breaking with the abundance of the yield, tbe quality being • he keeping with the quantity, The pic- ltere expect to take fourteen hareds of A. 1..fruit oft many of the trees, A A SMALL BLAZE.

Lirelsay is erecting a new Rouse upon the lot which he recently purchased on. Huron street and' it is going rapidly on to .completion. The residence is a modern one end will be a complete and comfortable home when finished. • It will be, of course, tor his own use, but Clinton needs a few jug such improVed and up-to-date residences for the use of new °M- ews who are constantly moving into town. Where is the man with the • Capital and the publie spirit who will undertake to provide them? GOOD WHEAT. Mr. John Ranstord, who would rather be known as the Tuekersmith Parmef than by any of those more ornate titles, such as the &Mire of Stapleton, which his friends love to confer upon him, has threshed and marketed his fall wheat, He had thirty acres; it averaged thirty-nine • bushels to the acre and sixty one and a half pounds to the bushel, The variety is the Abundance and at has been true to the name. The sample has been very much admired by all good .judges of grain who have seen it. • AN ACCIDENT. • Violet, the „nine-year-old daughter • of Mr. and Mrs. SaGliddon of • the • Gravel Road, is, as the resat of an accident on Saturdaji last, nursing a fractured wrist.

The statutes of Ontario provide that when meeting on the public high- way drivers of rigs must turn out to the right. If overtalting anether, the driver wishing to pass mug turn out to the left, and the driver of the slower vehicle must turn to the right thus allowing room for the faster vehicle to pass. The same rule ap- plies to motor vehicles as well as others. -The driver of any vehicle, who does not comply with these rules. Is liable for any damage that msfy occur from such non -observance.

This is one of the, most complete and up- to-date residents M town and Mr. Stevenson is to be congratulated upon his purcliase, Mr. W. H. Hellyar the other day purchased the residence of Mr. Henry Baker on Albert Street and will get Possession the begirning of next month. This house is in good repair, is in a fine/location, has a beautiful lawn and good orchard and will make O most comfortable home for Mr. and Med. lIellyar and family. That Mr. Baker has sold this place does not by any means imply that he purposes taking up his abode • elsewhere, for quite probably he will build another house. Mr. Baker is a good citizen and Clinton wouldn't like to lose Jim,. MEETING OE' PRESBYTERY, The September meeting of the Presbytery • of Huron was held in Willis church on Tuesday with Rev.

ONLY THREE DEATHS. Though there are ninety-four inmat- es in the House of Refuge, many of thein, at an extreme old age, there have been only three deaths 'in the past eight months. One interpret- ation of this is •that they receive the very best ot care ,from Manager Match and his good wife, wbo give a personal atteition to the, unfortunat- es emanated to their keeping that is not any bee fremzently met with. The -grounds are now looking their hest, the flower -clad walks present- ing a very pretty appearance. The farm is going to give a • big yield this season. Of onions , there will be ten or twelve tons and as the price is four cents a pound thi will mean that a goodly sum will be realezed. A TePTeSentaib'e of one or the big seed houses who looked over the plot the other day remarked that be had never seen such an abundant yield. The labor on this department of the farm has been done almost en- tirely by the inmates, under the elose ttpervision ,of Mr. Mutch. It might be added that onions were not grown on the farrn prior to the present manager assuming control. CERT • VERY BUSY. Mr. James Doig received a earload of 48,000 pounds of granite an 'Puce - day and one day this week he sent out seven finished monuments, That's going some. LEASED A FARM.
