DISTRICT MATTERS.
NEW COMERS.—Messrs. Jackson
Brothers, of Clinton, have purchased
the tailoring, clothing and gent's furn-
ishing department of the business of
Duncan & Duncan, and will conduct
-this old established and favorably
_known business hereafter. ; The busi-
ness will be underothe immediate charge
of Me. James Jackson, who will come to
1Seaforth to reside. The Messrs. Jack-
aon are wide-awake'enterprising gentle-
men, who thoroughly underetand the
lewdness they have taken, and they cite -
not fail to do well here., We have
pleasure in welcoming them as citizens,
and hope their stay with us will be long
and profitable.
Fool, BALL.—The Hurons will play
their first ohanapionship match on the
Recreation Grounds to -morrow (Satur-
day) againet the Berlin Rangers. This
proinises to be a very exciting match.
The Rangers are the oldest foot ball
team in the Province, and for yesre
were able to defeat all comers. It is
only a few season's ago that the Seaforth
team first succeeded in scoring a victory
against them. Both teams will make a
great effort to win.—The Detroit team
•
alefeated the Rangers at Detroit last
Saturday by 4 to 3.—The following
strong team will represent the Hurons
in to -morrow's match with the Rangers:
Goal, W. V. Sloan; Backs, D. McDon-
ald and W. Willis; Half -Backs, J.
Livingstone, T. Stephens and R. Jack -
Don; Forwards G. A. Dewar, (Capt.),
J. Killoran, W. McDonald, J. Smith
and H, J. Crawford. This aggregation
.of old reliables ought to give a good ac-
count of themselves.
RETIRING FROM BUSINESS.—As will
be seen by a card elsewhere in this issue
Mr. George Ewing, who for the peat 36
yeers has done a large meat trade in this
-town, has decided to retire from bud -
nese. We are sorry to learn that for
several months Mr. Ewing has not
been enjoying good health, and he
found that the close attention he was
forced to give to his business was preju-
dicial to him, and he consequently de-
cided to close up and enjoy a much-
needed rest. There are few men who
attend more closely to business than Mr.
Ewing has done. He has been at it
early and late with scarcely a day's rest
or relaxation for a quarter of a century,
so that it is not surprising his health has
at length given way under the strain.
We hope, however, that with hrest he
will soon fully recover, and that we will
have him in our midst as a citizen and
business man for many years to come.
He is one of the pioneer business men of
Seaforth, and one of our most respected
citizens, and we but express the wish of
all who km* him, and the many who
have had butiness relations with him,
that he will enjoy his holiday, and that
in a few months he will turn up as ro-
bust and vigorous as a yore.

RESOLU ION OF CONDOLENCE.—The
following eaolution of condolence *as
passed at the last meeting of Huron
Lodge, In s ependent Order of Good
Tempters, :Worth; To Mr. and Mrs.
Proctor.— 1 ear Friends,—We, the offi-
cers and i embers of the lodge, that
the late nme Taylor was a member
and officer bearer of at the time of her
death, beg leave to send you this letter
of condole ce, for we can sympathize
with you n your sad loss of a loving
daughter, f r we Lave lost one who was
a nrost aoti e member, a loving friend,
and an ear est worker in the cause of
Temperanc , But would we wish-llier
back again from the joys of Heaven to
take up the trials and duties of earth if
we had t e power? " No " We
would not e so selfish. Our prayer is
that we ay live, so that when our
time comes we shall be able to say, am
did our bel ved sister in her last breath,
"I'm goin Home to be with Jesus."
In all this we do not think that our
grief can le sen yours, but we can only
recommend you to lay your grief before
the Throne of Him who is too wise to
err and too loving to be unkind, for our
loss is her sin. You have lost one on
earth, but y ,u have one more in Heaven
waiting, to elcome you home. (Signed),
—A. HALE C. T. ; J. W. BEATTIE,
