Combe ' may build a :handsome new brick block where his two stores and Ford's butcher- -shop now stand. Plans have been -prepared for the proposed work. Ws moved the motion a year 'ago 'and now the Brussels Post seconds it as follows: "Tho' Post has much pleasuring in nominating Arch. Me- Murchie Teevo of Clinton, for the warden's chair for 1895, Mr. Axe- Mjurchie is an old and worthy mem- ber who has rendered excellent ser- vice as a County Councillors and the wardenship is an honer he is well de- ,serving of:" Clinton should should have more employ. lug factories. The man who devotes special at- 'tention to his advertising secures the cream • of the trade. Wi3 do not expect to see a system cot waterworks established in Clinton; this year."` But it must come to it some time, and the sooner the bet- ter. For the informration of many ex- changes we might say that no town in the Province has better streets than Clinton, except for a few days in the fall and spring. * * * WHEN THE PRESENT CENTURY WAS YOUNG From The News -Record, .Tana 20th, 1910.

The morning train from Winghorn : ran off the track at Londesboro but was'only ten minutes late in getting to Clinton. But as it proceeded down ' the line' the, whole train left the track at Kip pen and the auxiliary had to be .cal- led out, This delay caused the 11 o'cicek train to arrive here at 5:70 in the afternoon and the 4 at 0.20.

When that number of young farmers', want to became better farmers the outlook for Old Ontario is not so bad. 1Walkerton Herald -Times. 1* STEER NOT TAKING 'ANY CHANCES One clay last week one of our local butchers went to the country to kill a ,cattle beast for ' .his customers, When he arrived` there were two of the animals in the yard, and he thought ,his best plan would be to. shut one in the stable while the other wasmeeting its doom. So he pro. ceeded to do so and after the task was over, went to the barn to let the companion of, the now beef -steak out into -the yard. He entered the stable and le, and behold, no '.steer, lie scratched his head, searched aln• through the stables, and went to the house to enquire if anyone had let it out; but no, no one had been near the scene. So a search : pasty was organized and the steer was 'located itL the granary in the upper part, of the barn. The poor thing must have. been peeking out a crack in the door and watching the slaughter of its relative and deciding that life was too sweet, and not wanting to "kick the bucket" yet, climbed the: steep stairs to the second floor of the barn, and thus escape his would-be execution- ers. Anyway, he had agood feed be- fore ho answered, the roil caII. fieeswater News. • SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE A Chicago manhas invented a gad- get which he iclaims wild be effective curb on long-winded speaker's, The contrivance, a miniature: stop -and -go light—is an automatic control on the patience of listeners.

It is surprising to note, however, that compared with 1933, the number of horses in Canada, declined in. 1934. Nova Scotia alone being the only province showing a slight increase. Statistics* show an- other surprising fact, that except in Quebec the number of swine in Can- ada in 1934 showed a decrease, al- though the market for pork was real- ly the enly steady market at fair pre ces •that ' the farmer had. —Aylmer Express, TO MAKE POLITICS CLEANER In the province of Quebec election promises, contracts and agreements are valueless before the courts a magistrate of the .ancient `capital has ruled. It shouldbe enade'clear that they have no value in any of the pro. vines of Canada, if common sense will permit such interpretation of the, law,'. Men are disposed to promise almost anything during an eleltion campaign. Everything from Senator - ships to road jobs is freely pledged in the effort to seeiue ' votes, Of course all men should be well, aware that there is little intention to redeem pledges given when election _cam- paigns are on, but if it were under- stood that they -aro valueless •before the consts'they would carry less weight and probably bribery and cor- ruption would be reduced. -Renfrew Mercury, * * 'lit ", REMAINS CARRIED HOME BY OCEAN WAVES There have been some strange hap- penings which have . been recorded' from time to time and one such had:• to do with the hurricane which re suited in the Johnstown flood where 3,000 persons were drowned, and the material loss placed at $20,000,000. The incidents were 2,000 miles apart, taking in Galveston, Texas, at one end of the narrative and Prince Is - ward Island, in the Gulf of St. Law- rence, at the other. On September 8, 190,, a West In- dies hurricane commenced which blew steadily for eighteen hours and reached a velocity of at least 135 miles per hour. The waters of the Gulf of Mexico rose in enormous; waves that swept across Galveston, Texas, and resulted in the worst cat- aclysm in the history of the United: States, included in which was the Johnstown flood. Lying peacefully in the cemetery et Galveston were the mortal remains of an expatriated Prince Edward Islander. The surg- ing waves forced the coffin from its grave, washed it out to sea .and; caught in the Gulf Stream, was car- ried to the shores of Prince Edward.' Island where, upon examination, it Was found the :,coffin .bore a name plate identifying the remains as, those of Charles Francis Coughlin, a native - of Prince Edward Island, wherethey at last found 'a resting place. THE NUDIST CRAZE A farmer, working on a small hold- ing in Australia, was seen ,by `his neighbors clad only in a waistcoat. Their shocked protests brought then[ no satisfaction, and they enlisted the aid of the police. "Interviewed by the law; the farmer warmly asserted that he would' dress as heliked ore his own property and that the neigh - bon must look the other way.Bag- led but inquisitive, the law said: "Butt why wear a Awaistcoat, anyway " Thel answer .was crushing: "Well, I must; have somewhere to keep me pipe ate matches!"
