Mr. 5. S. Cooper, proprietor of the Clotel Normandie, has purchased from the estate of the late Joseph Rat- teaburp the Rattenbury House and will conduct both houses for the as ommodation of the public. 1'o the travelling public the Rat- enbury House has always stood for emfort and a liomelikeness not of - en attained' b3 a public house, The ounder of the hostelry, the late Wil - lam Rattenbury, who came out from, tlhe Old Land in the early forties, conducted the house, which was then styled "Rattenbury Inn" along the ines followed by innkeepers in Eng and and, during all the years ince, though every modern colleen - ewe has been introduced, there has clung about •tile establishment sonhe- thing of that kindly, homelike com- fort of the English Inn, Following the death of 11lr. Joseph Rattenbury, who for many years was the popular host, his son, Mr, I, Rattenbury, continued its manage- ment until a few months ago when he turned it over to Mr. McKimnon of Oakville, who has been in charge shtce the first of June last and un- der whose capable management the house has lost none of its popular- ly, Now, however, after well on to three quarters of a century, the house passes out of the, hands of the Rattenbury family and in future, be - it conducted according g to other deas, will no doubt lose some of the characteristics which have harked it as a public house, Travelling men all over Canada r.ow the Rattenbury House, which ias always smiled thein a welcome on. their periodical visit to Clinton, and no doubt litany, especially the d of ei ones will re, re • it t the passing g of the old management, That the travelling public will suf- er by tite change, however, must tot be supposed for a mohnout.

The friends of the family in Clin- ton will regret to learn that Ili#le Miss Pauline, the three-year-old daughter of Mr, and lefts, .1ohn Hartley of \rankleek Hill, formerly of Clinton, is .ill in Toronto with infantile paralysis.

Neither parents or physicians can account for the sudden seizure and the little one has always had good. health, 1t is boped that she may soon begin to imprave, WILL THEY BE SCARCE ? Apples are sublr a poor crop In Ontario this year that instead of ex - poi mg them as usual we shall have to import for our own consumption. Owing to the embargo, on exports of that class to England the probability is that Nova Scotia apples will come this way in quest of a market, and there is tally, too, . of apples being shipped there from British Columbia, It is generally conceded that no ap- ples are superior to the Ontario pro- duct either for flavor or keeping qualities but even when Ontario's crop is abundant it seems difficult for the ordinary citizen to procure good apples at a reasonable price during the winter. Often oranges from California are cheaper than ap- ples grown in Ontario. How will prices ruff this • winter ? AMONG THE CHURCHES.

Mr. 5. S. Cooper, proprietor of the Clotel Normandie, has purchased from the estate of the late Joseph Rat- teaburp the Rattenbury House and will conduct both houses for the as ommodation of the public. 1'o the travelling public the Rat- enbury House has always stood for emfort and a liomelikeness not of - en attained' b3 a public house, The ounder of the hostelry, the late Wil - lam Rattenbury, who came out from, tlhe Old Land in the early forties, conducted the house, which was then styled "Rattenbury Inn" along the ines followed by innkeepers in Eng and and, during all the years ince, though every modern colleen - ewe has been introduced, there has clung about •tile establishment sonhe- thing of that kindly, homelike com- fort of the English Inn, Following the death of 11lr. Joseph Rattenbury, who for many years was the popular host, his son, Mr, I, Rattenbury, continued its manage- ment until a few months ago when he turned it over to Mr. McKimnon of Oakville, who has been in charge shtce the first of June last and un- der whose capable management the house has lost none of its popular- ly, Now, however, after well on to three quarters of a century, the house passes out of the, hands of the Rattenbury family and in future, be - it conducted according g to other deas, will no doubt lose some of the characteristics which have harked it as a public house, Travelling men all over Canada r.ow the Rattenbury House, which ias always smiled thein a welcome on. their periodical visit to Clinton, and no doubt litany, especially the d of ei ones will re, re • it t the passing g of the old management, That the travelling public will suf- er by tite change, however, must tot be supposed for a mohnout.

Apples are sublr a poor crop In Ontario this year that instead of ex - poi mg them as usual we shall have to import for our own consumption. Owing to the embargo, on exports of that class to England the probability is that Nova Scotia apples will come this way in quest of a market, and there is tally, too, . of apples being shipped there from British Columbia, It is generally conceded that no ap- ples are superior to the Ontario pro- duct either for flavor or keeping qualities but even when Ontario's crop is abundant it seems difficult for the ordinary citizen to procure good apples at a reasonable price during the winter. Often oranges from California are cheaper than ap- ples grown in Ontario. How will prices ruff this • winter ? AMONG THE CHURCHES.
