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.
