A few years ago the United States
going off the gold standard would

a decided betterment of conditions.
The public therefore, concluded that
it was no longer an experiment. The

What Clinton was Doing in The Gay Nineties
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED DURING THF LAST DE-
CADE OF THE OLD CENTURY?
From. The News -Record, May 10th,
18931
The "green goods" men in New
York have been flooding Huron and
adjoining counties with circulars
during the past couple of weeks. It
is a pity the gang of swindlers 'are
not safe behind the bars.
Seaforth will erect a new town
hall.
Monday -was the first genuine
spring day.
Arbor Day was generally observed
in town although there were not as
many trees .planted as there should
have been.
Another M.D.: Dr. R. Moore of
Muskoka has rented the. office of the
late Dr. Worthington and will prac-
tise here. He was a resident of
Clinton perhaps twenty years ago.
Mr. J. C. Stevenson has had his
hearse repainted and trimmed.
The dust comes in clouds and yet
the town does not indulge in neces-
sity of a watering cart. Get it on
the road.
New. Signs: Copp, the painter, has,
been at it again—this time lettering
and putting up for The News -Record
as neat and attractive signs as are
to be seen in Clinton. The signs
are inside the windows, where as
fine printing is. executed as anywhere
in the broad Dominion. Copp is a
good all around painter and he knows
a thing or two about signs.
And The Whole Earth Shook: Last
Saturday about 1.20 p.m. the inhabi-
tants of .Stapleton and neighborhood
were suddenly thrown into a state
of excitement. The whole earth and
buildings and contents quiveredand
shook. Men working at the salt
block experienced the peculiar feel-
ing. The ground under them' and
the several buildings in which they
wed trembled. The stoves and dish-
es in the •houses shook and rattled
The shook was felt on Shipley's farm
in the barn and it is stated that the
frame work creaked and the ' stone
foundation proved. Nothing of a
serious result can be seen. Every-
thing •seems to be in the same posi-
tion as before., One theory is that
there must have been a "slide" or
"cave" or drop of an immense bed.
of rock many hundred feet below the
earth surface of the salt well. It is
said that a second shock, milder than
the first, was felt about four o'clock
Sunday morning. These statements
are vouched for by reliable men on
the spot.

Egmondviile Presbyterlian church

Too "Rich": The following from
the Seaforth Sun is so rich with tine
truthfulness that it is reproduced in
these columns. If our cotem is not
satisfied we will send the redoubt-

order that he may keep posted on
the doings of our town and country
friends. Listen to this: "The 'Clin-

Property Chang: Mr. John 0.
Elliott of the Bayfield line, Goder-
ich township has bought the 36 -acre
plot owned and occupied by Mr. Geo.
Levis near Holmesville, giving there-
for a house and lot in town and
$8$0 in cash. This is a pretty fair
exchange for both parties. Mi.
Lavis will take up his residence •in
Clinton.
Cattle Feeders: Mr. James Fair
ships his herd of fat cattle next
week, they having been sold to Mr.
S. Smith. It is generally a neck -
and -neck race between Messrs. Fair,
Forrester and Ransford to see who
can turn out the finest bunch of
cattle and it is pretty hard to say
which •ono the odds favor.
