TO BUSYNESS MEN• Agents for Toronto printi�y1' houses pretend to offer bill heads, sta`i;ements, and work of similar nature at "remark- ably low prices" • even below cost, Our prices are reduced to the closest margin and we guarantee worts at as low rates and of as good quality as can be had anywhere, Toronto included. fl. HOLMES important !Notice. As we &sire to add a lot of new sub- scribers to our list before the lst, of De- cember, we have decided to give TUE New Ens from now until the lst of January, 1891, to all NEW subscribers for the price of one year, viz., $1.50 cash. New subscribers will thus get EHE BALANCE of THE TEAR FOR NOTIIING.— This is a splendid chance which should be taken advantage of at once. For the encouragement of our present subscribers to use their influence with their friends and neighbors, we make the following offer:—We will allow any subsoribbr a commission of 25 cents cash for each new name sent us at the rate of 61.50 from now till the first of 1891.— There is scarcely a subscriber on our list who could not send ns two or three names if they were to try, and by so do- ing they would be benefitting themselves as well as us. Make an effort. See who will send in the largest list of new names. No paper in the county gives more home news than THE NEW ERA, and it is web worth tiie price of subscription. . R. IIOLME S. PRoato'rIos.—Itdr Thos, Turnbull, eldest son of James Turnbull, Esq., who has been in the Montreal branch of the Bank of Commerce for some time, has been piornoted to the in- spector's Department at Toronto.— "Tom" is evidently reaching for the top. - WHITE BRONZE —Mr W. M, Gif- fin, agent of the St. Thomas White Bronze Monument Co,, not only made a fine display of monuments at the Huron Central Fair, but he was also awarded a diploma there, a fact that was unintentionally overlooked in, the publication of the prize list, two weeks ago. DEATH.—There died in Clinton, on Tuesday, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs Baker, Ontario St., a lady who will beL remembered by old Huronites, as the wife of a form- er Bible Christian minister. We re- fer to Mrs M. D. Cantelon. About SO years ago Mr D. Cantelon, then married, taught `school at Holmes- ville; soon .after he went into the B. C. ministry, and filled a number of important stations until his death. Mrs Cantelon, leaves three children— Mrs Baker, Mr W. Cantelon, Mitch- ell, and Mrs Brae, Manitoba. Her death, at the age of 78 years, was caused by heart disease. The re- mains were interred in Mitchell cem- etery. / POULTRY BUSINESS. — The ship- ( went or live poultry from this place, b'' Mr W. Keys, and others, has be- come quite air extensive bu.iness,and the probabilities are that there will be a scarcity here when cold weather sets in. The price paid is good for this time of the year, when poultry is usually so cheap. The dealers here all ship to London, from which point the fowls are re -shipped in larger quantities tor Detroit and - Buffalo. This is a case in point of the advan- tages of the American market. There is no duty on Iive poultry going to the States—as there is on dressed— and u railway employee tells us that car load after car load goes to Detroit market daring the poultry season. Of course `IM may be treasonable and all that sort of thing to send it there, but as the dealers get a better price for it by so doing, we suppose the offence" must be tolerated. STILL THEY GO.— On Saturday evening last the NEW ERA parted company with an employee' who has been in its service for a considerable length of time, who has been faithful In all the details of business, and whom we can truly say we allowed to go with regret. We refer to Miss Ida McKowen who, on Wednesday next, becomes the wife of Mr Fred. Bakes, of Woodstock. The office "devils," wishing to help her and show their 'esteem to the best (?) of their ability, made a donation of such articles as a fire shovel and poker, broom, cook book, washboard, and ether like arr ticles, which were duty given, "not for their intrinsic value, but as a slight mark, etc," Her familiar form will be missed, particularly by those who aro in the habit of calling for their pwr on Thursday afternoon, and if the general public wishes her as much happiness as the boys of this office do (and we believe they do) she will be so supremely joyous that her days will be all sunshine, and her pathtltay in life strewed with the most delicious roses. We cannot hinder the people of Woodstock having her, bat we hope they will treat her well. CQLLAR BQIVE Bnoicg i. — Kate Rumball, daughter of Mr Wan. Rum- b,all, 'aged 6 years, fell down stairs, on Thursday, and broke her collar bane. She is doiug very nicely. Mr M. G. Cameron, formerly' of Goderich, was elected Vice -President of the Toronto Young Liberal Assoc- iation, on Monday, by a large major- ity. The fact of his being a compar- ative stranger in the city shows that he has jumped into popularity at once. COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE BOARD.— The board met on Friday. Sev- eral communications were read from Mr E. J. Hill, and ordered to be filed. A number of accounts were ordered to be paid. The teachers were re-en- gaged for 1890, at the following sale. ries:—J. Turnbull, $1,200; S. W. Per- ry, $960; D. Robb, $900; Miss Mc- Arthur, $600. KEEP OFF THE TRACK. --The fre- quent accidents that occur to people who persist in walking on railway tracks is likely to bear fruit. The Grand Trunk authorities are deter- mined to arrest all persons found trespassing in the manner stated, not only to citizens, but all along the line, and the provisions of the Rail- way Act will be strictly enforced. Persons who are in the habit of walk- ing on the track should remember they are liable to prosecution, and the agents have instructions to see that the Act is carried out. FOOTBALL. — The Model school football clubs of Clinton and Gode- rich played a friendly game here on iursday of last week. The first goal as scored in fifteen minutes by Goderich, thenceforward the play was uniform' to the close when Clin- ton scored within -one minute of time, the result thus being 1 to 1. On Tuesday the Model school played the cricket club and won by a score of 3 to 0.- It is but fair to the cricket boys to say that their team was not equal to its usual strength, two or three of their best players not being present. " TEACHERS.:—Mr Struthers, of this town, now teaching at Porter's Hill, has been engaged to •teach next year year at Grand Bend, at a salary of $450. He is a young man of good, sterling qualities, has proved an effi- cient teacher, and will give satisfac- tion in- his new. section. Miss Gray, now attending the Model School, has been engaged for one of the Wingham school departnie'nts, and Miss Martin, another Modellite, has been engaged for school in Goderich township ; both are well spoken of by the Prin- cipal. Teachers making changes or securing schools, will oblige by let. ting us know for publication. ABOUT NEWSPAPERS.—Each year the local papers give from: $500 to $5,000 in free lines for the benefit of the community in which it is located. No other agency can or will do this. The editor, in proportion to his means, does more for his town than any other ten men, and he ought to be supported, not because you happen to like him or admire bis writing,but because a local paper is the best in- vestment a community can make. It may not be brilliant or crowded with great thoughts, but financially it is of more benefit to the community than the teacher or the preacher.— Understand us now, we do not mean morally or intellectually, but finan- cially; and yet or the moral queetjon you will find that most of the local papers are on the right side of the question. To -day the editors of the local papers do the most work for the least money of any men on earth. Subscribe for your local paper, not as a charity, but as an investment. RECOVERING. -MIAs Dimsdale the evangelist, is slowly recovering at her pleasant home at Bell Ewart, within fifty yards of Lake Slmcoe. It will be remembered that, while ac- tively engaged in evangelistic work in the' town of Welland, she was at- tacked with inflammation of the brain. For six weeks her life was in the balance. The doctor's entertain- ed no hopes of her recovery, but yet they were in almost constant attend- ance, remaining at her bedside nearly all the time, night and day. Of course, her illnees was brought on by overwork. Her loss would be a ca- lamity. Through her preaching thou- sands ofpersons have given up sinful habits and lived better lives. For four or five years she has been work- ing nearly all the time. Even when many others were having a vacation, Miss Dimsdale and her sister were still conducting services. Miss Dims - dale looks well, but is troubled occa- sionally with headache, and although she expects to commence preaching again at the beginning of the year, the doctors strongly urge her not to do any work of this kind for a year.— Christian Guardian, WRONG AGAIN.—Our town cotem is wrongagain when it says that "the senior editor of this paper expected ere this to be holding a government position." That • is not true. But even were it true it is no justification for the ERA circulating the unfound- ed report that arrangements were in progress to transfer Judge Doyle to another county. His Honor knows nothing of such arrangements, and surely he would if a change was .30n• templated,—News Record. The NEW ERA was substantially correct in 'both instances, the above to the contrary notwithstanding. It has not only been rumored that the senior editor was an expectant ap- pointee for a certain government po- sition, but that gentleman himself mentioned the matter on at least one occasion that we know of. Now as to the rumored removal of Judge Doyle. We gave it simply as an item of news, without prejudice or person- al feeling. It was so rumored, our ootem knows it,and when it states that "Judge Doyle knew nothing of such arrangements" it states what we believe is absolutely false, and fancy makes the assertion without having consulted his honor. Judge Doyle, we have reason to believe, expected to become Senior Judge in an eastern county, to make way for a well-known politican in this county. The de- tails could not be satisfactorily ar- ranged, and the chane was not made. If necessary we can give further par- ticulars concerning it, Perhaps the News Record will say there le no rinmor now in circulation to the effect that Mr F. W. Johnston is to be appointed junior judge of the county of Lambton, notwithstanding the fact that It is talked of among his own friends. Little Local Items. Mr. W. Jackson is away at Toronto this week. Mrs, Samuel Brown is visitiug her sister in Buffalo. Deputy Reeve Manning is away at Hamilton, on legal business.

A Clintonian, who is the owner o a fine gold watch,' is reported to hav smashed it ovt-r the counter of a'hot the other evening. Foolish thing t do. Mr W. Robb, who has resided i Tuckerstnith for. many years, is ren ing his farm, and talks of moving t 'Clinton to reside. He could not cop to a better place. Mr Thomas Armstrong, formerl Customs Collector at this point, ha been receiving many a cordial gras of the hand from his old friends here among whom he is visiting. On Friday evening last a number of the friends of Mr and Mrs Fred. Jackson took possession of their house, and enjoyed themselves until an early hour in the morning. Rev Jas. Livingstone will preach anniversary sermons in Hamilton, on Sunday next, Rev Mr Edge taking his work in the morning, and Rev Mr Cosens, of Seaforth, in the even- ing.

She was tic koted through by .Mr. W. Jackson town agent G. T. R. Clinton was favored with a visi from the Canadian Household troop band of the salvation army on Satur day and Sunday,and seemed to mak quite a stir with their excellent music which was ably rendered. They were beautifully uniformed and must be a credit to the army. Their meetings were. well •attended and with some little euceess,, and we wish them every success in their God sent mission. The Anniversary services of the James et, Meth. Sunday School last Sunday were well attended, ;and all were delighted with the sermons preached by Rev Mr Livingstone, of Clinton, Morning and evg. Both dis- courses were thoughtful, logical and practical, and if the lessons, as ob- served by the speaker, are carried out by the officers, teachers and parents of the children of our Sabbath schools, their future will be abrightand happy one.—Exeter Times. Entertainment and Lecture. On Monday afternoon at 1.15 Rev. J. Edge stood.onithe platform of the. railway station, an expression of anticitive pleasure on his countenance that could almost be felt. Ten min- utes later he looked like a man who bad placed every dollar he owned in an election—and had loet. The rea- son for his sudden and unpleasant change of countenance was because Rev. T. W. Jeffrey, of Toronto, who had been advertised to preach in Ontario St. church that afternoon, and lecture in the evening, had failed to arrive, A telegram announ- that Mr. Jeffrey had been de- tned in Toronto, and could not be present until Tuesday. Very much disapointment was felt, and the pas- tor of the Ontario et, church was the recipient of much sympathy. It was decided to postpone the enter- tainment until Tuesday. At 8 p. m, on that afternoon Mr: Jeffrey gave a good and thoughtful sermon to a nice audience. In the evening the church was full, the disarrangement not, apparently, af- fecting the size of the audience. Mr. A. H. Manning, President of the Y P.C.E. Society, under whose auspicer the entertainment wa giyen, took the chair, and called on Rev. J. Livingstone to open with prayer, du The choir then gave "Happy Greet- ing." At intervals ring the lec- ture other pieces were sung, Mies Azle Gibbings rendering a solo very sweetly; the Misses Walker sang "Come ;Merry Birds." Miss Nellie Walker has a particularly good voice, and gives promise of developing into an extra:good singer; Miss Walker and Messrs Will Kay, Foster and Har- land gave "Wandering Down." Miss Walker and Mr. Harland "The Beautiful Sea," Mr. Foster, ',Alone on the midnight sea," and a couple of other pieces by the choir. Dr. Jeffrey's subject "Get up— How ?" dealt with the principle of getting on in the world, the main points of which were—Have a pur- pose in life—find out what you are best adapted for—go at it with the intention of making it it success— God's purpose was for man to , go upward, and not downward. The address occupied an hour and a half in its delivery, and was spiced with any number of humorous illustrations. On the whole, the entertainment was an instructive and pleasant one, though we would not endorse all the speaker said. The proceeds at 10 cents admission, amounted to nearly $40.
