Clinton.
THE NEW COLLEGIATE IN&JarIITE.—
Ron. G. W. Ross, Minister of -Education,
paid the town of Clinton a. visit on
Ihursday of Iast week, for the purpose
of converting the High School into a
collegiate Institute. The High School
.building has recently been enlarged and
impreved to meet the requirements of a
,Collegiate Institute, and when, visited
by the Minister he expressed himself as
thoroughly satisfied with the changes
that had been made. In the assembly
ball, beautifully decorated for the occa-
,sion, was gathered a large number of the
people of the town interested in the pro-
gress of education, and to these Mr.
Itoss delivered an appropriate address.
Short speeches were alms given by Mr.
H. Hale Eynd Revs. A. Stewart, W.
Craig and E. S. Rupert, of Clinton, and
:Rev. A. D. McDonald, of Seaforth, the
latter having been one of the first trus-
;tees of the school. In the evening a
public meeting was held in the town
hall, which was packed to the doorse
A programme of vocal and instrumental
music was given, but the chief feature of
the evening was an address by Hon. Mr.
Ross on "Higher Education." He spoke
for over an hour, dealing with the Pub-
lic and High School branches of our edu-
cational system, and by comparison with
other countries showed that we have the
very best in theevorld. Incidentally he
referred to the excellent standing of the
old Clinton High School, and congratu-
lated the people of Clinton upon pro-
viding an educational institution second
to none in the Province, and expressed
the hope and belief that the good work
which the school was accomplishing
would go on with the increased facili-
ties. The chair was occupied by Mr. A.
H. Manning, and the inaugural proceed-
ings of Clinton Collegiate Institute,
from first to /est, were of the most
pleasing and satisfactory •nature. The
school will hereafter be known in official
records as No. 25, Clinton Collegiate
Institute."
Turnberry.
OCR SPORTS.—Mr. Frank Powell went
in quest of game one day last week, and
succeeded in capturing a mink and five
racoons. This we consider beats some
of the more pretentious sports of this
neighborhood.—Mr. Harris has gone to
Muskoka to spend a mouth in pursuit of
the "antlered monarchs " of that waste
place. We hope he will make some
dead shots, as we are expecting a venison
pie when he returns.
PEresosees.—Mrs. Thomas Higgins is
suffering severely at present from an
affection of the eye. She has returned
from Oakville where she had been treat-
ed, without any benefit, by an occulist
We understand she intends going to the
Ear and Eye Institute at Toronto. We
trust she will get relief from her present
painful condition.—Mr. Geo. Bentley,
of this township, has left the farm aid
parented roof and has began commereial
life as a dry goods clerk in Mr. Mein-
doo'S store, Wingharn. George is well
known here as a young man of sober,
honestindustrions principles, and these,
coupled with intelligence, will We hope
insure him success in his new calling.
DISAsTROCS F1RE.—Early Saturday
morning, between two and three o'clock,
the residence of Mr. Geo. Crossman,
Hullett, was destroyed by fire, which is
presumed to have beeu smoldering for
sometime and to haste originated from a
furnace in the kitchen portion of the
building which had been used to boil
feed for the cattle. It was a most disas-
trous affair indeed. Nothing whatever
was saved, the inmates escaping with
only the clothes they hastily put on
when the fire was discovered. There
were living in the house Mr. and Mrs.
Crossman and their daughter and son-in-
law Mrs. and Mr. Warren. The house
was a comfortable one and with contents
would, it is estimated, be worth at least
$2,500, in fact that sum, it is thought,
would not place Mr. Crossman in as
good a position -as he was in before the
fire. Fortunately he is in good circum-
stances,but the loss will be a serious one
all the same.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday last
Mr. William Oke met with a very
painful accident while attending to a
grain crusher which was at work on the
farm of Mr. G-eorge Mann, 9th conces-
sion. By some means or other he got
his arm between two cogs of the machine
while it was in full motion, tearing off
the flesh and breaking the bone. The
force of the squeeze may be judged from
the fact that an inch and a half iron
shaft was brokenin two by the obstruc-
tion, and but foi this Mr. Oke's arm
would, have been smashed to pieces and
probably he would have been more
seriously injured. Medical aid was
speedily secured, the injured limb pro-
perly dressed, and he is now doing ae
well as could be expected.
Bluevale.
LOCAL BRIEF.—Wm. Smith, from
Manitoba, looks very fresh and is en-
joying himself splendidly. John Far-
row, his old chum, is very pleased to
see him and so are a lot more friends.
Bill is wearying for the ice, to get at
the curling, as he used to be an expert
at it. —James Timmins has sold out his
store to Wm. Dulmage, cattle deeler.
Mr. Timmins has been a good friend to
a great many around Bluev ale and will
be much missed but there is no doubt
the new comer will do a, good business
too. He paid $2,200 for the property.
—Walter Paterson has bought the
cottage near the church from Archibald
Paterson, for $225 ; it is a cheap place.
—Mr. Perine, of Belgrave, has bought
John Garniss' place here for $350. He
is a shoemaker by trade and is coming
about New Years. There is little
doubt he will get all he can do as there
Is lots of room here for two.—Municipal
matters here are very quiet and it is
most likely the old council will all be
re-elected by acclamation; the reeve
and deputy are pretty sure to go in any
way as two better men could not be got.
—The Forresters here held their month-
ly meeting last Wednesday night.
The Lodge bought a fine deer's head
from R. Duff, one that he brought from
Manitoba. The Order is doing well.
Mr. Thomas Dillon, our cheese maker,
and James Timmins, joined that night
and more are going to join next night.—
Wm. Messer has .sold the September
and October make of cheese of the
luevale factory for 1 I cents ; there are
in the factory, made since then, 1140
cheeses and they will average 65 pounds
apiece.—Mr. and Mrs. Charles Reading
are leaving this place this week for
-Some time; they go first to Guelph
and then to Toronto and in the spring
they are going to the Banff Springs, in
the Northwest for the benefit of Mrs.
Reading's health.—George Henry has
started a carpenter shop in the old
tannery building and is getting lots of
work.
Sunshine.
LOCAL BRIEFS. —The heavy rain of
Sunday spoiled what little sleighing
we had on Saturday, but was much
needed to fill pp the wells, as the
supply of water in many places was not
sufficient to last through the winter.—
Mr. Wm. Hawthorne of Grey, has
moved, into his house here, having lost
his farm in that township by a mort-
gage corning against him which he
knew nothing abolt—R. Webb has
got a handsome sign up on the front of
his blacksmith shop.—A number of
young people of both sexes paid a visit
to a certain house here one night last
week with the expectation of enjoying
a social hop as they call it. But imagine
their disappointment when they were
told that the proprietor, who is not a
believer in social hops, would not give
the use of his house for any such pur-
pose.—Wm. Michie has purchased the
thoroughbred bull, "Mountain King"
from -A. Sample, of Brussels, for $60
cash. "Mountain King" has a first
class pedigree in the Dominion Short
Horn Herd Book and although only
seven months old is considered very
cheap.—John Sparling, of the 6th line
of Morris, lost his old white mare one
night last week by getting down in the
stall in such a position that she was un-
able to get up. Although not a very
valuable animal, she was highly prizeci
by her owner.—Mr. Vanstone is having
the mill thoroughly fitted up for the
winter trade; some of the machinery
has been sent to headquarters to be re-
paired, so it will be some time before
the mill will commence work again.
Wroxeter.
NEWS.—Mac. Allan and James Paul-
in jr. started on Tuesday last for Kan-
sas city where they intend to reside.
We are sorry to lose these two young
men and no doubt there will be mourn-
ing among the fair sex, but we hope
they will better their condition and
come back home with their pockets well
lined with greenbacks.—Alex. Thomp-
son our popular egg buyer, and family,
are spending a few days here. He has
been very sick and thinks he could not
come to a better place to recruit and we
think so too.—A. L. Gibson Esq.,arrived
home on Tuesday last from the Old
Country; he has spent some time there
taking a much needed rest which he has
richly earned and we have no doubt
he will feel a good deal better for his
trip.—Joe Barnard had a narrow escape
from drowning while skating on the
pond. He was skating over the channel
which at this time is running pretty
swift, wearing the ice thin, when the
ice suddenly broke leaving Joe in the
water and it was only by the efforts of a
comrade that he was saved from being
drawn under the ice. If he had been
alone he would certainly have drowned
as the ice continued breaking with his
weight but through it all he- kept' his
presence of mind and considered it quite
a joke after.—We have a new barber in
town; he intends to open business in
John Vogt's shop directly opposite the
Grand Central hotel. We hope he gets
enough to do to pay him for we need a
barber here badly.—Our Sportsmen
have returned from Muskoka. Messrs.
Sanderson and Harris, we understand,
brought home three fine deer; our other
huntsmen had not quite as good success
but they had the sport just the same.—
A good many of our friends are busy
getting up entertainments for the child-
ren for Christmas and New Year ; we
will no doubt have some pleasing affairs
as usual.—We sympathize with Mr. and
Mrs, David McBride in the loss of their
little one; the funeral took place on
Monday last.

Strike for all You're Worth

1 like td see a fellow trying
Hard to make his way in life;
I like to see him bravely plyingi
All hili forces in hie strife.
Straight ahead and never straying,
All hi S strength his purpose in,
Then I eheer him onwards saying,
Strike for all you're worth and win.
Courage, comrade, keep her going,
Keep the mill arolling on ;
Whether hostile winds are blowing,
Darkness must give way to dawn.
Never Mind the adverse hooting,
Thro* your spunky challenge in,
Hold your ground and keep her scooting,
Strik4 for all you're worth and win.
Whoop rier up and never falter,
Nevei turn you from the strife,
Burn yigur offerings on the altar
Of a true and blameless life.
Keep your head my comrade, level,
Now'S the time to try, begin
Pearinei, neither man nor devil,
StrA for all you're worth and win,
