THIS CANADA OP OURS.—The
mildness of the weather ou Christ-
mas has not been equalled for many
years, and is a great surprise to
people who are spending their first
winter in Canada and have always
associated Christmas here with rein-
deer sledges and snowshoes.
Ho ME, ONCE r M ORE.—Among
many others who. "spent Christmas
at their old homes in Clinton were
Mrs. Powell of Detroit, Messrs.
Bay and Ford of Woodstock, Messrs.
W. 0. Malloeh, F. E. Corbett. J.
Croll, Alilne, A. Williams, J.
Turnbull and F. lIodgens of Toron.
to, Mr. Smith of Chicago. Dr.Gunn
froin New Yark, and Mr. Jas. Smith
from Indianapolis, Ind.,, •have corn-
pleted their stay across the border
aud re-dumiciled thetnselves here.
Suttentsrnts SuiteltisEn.--Puring
one cold awl blizzirdly night in
the early [flirt of 1481. \rock; a number
of yortug 'ladies and gentlemen and.
their aunts and cousins assembled
at the residence oft; citizen of Avon
ward, for the purpose of having a
surprise party and presenting an ad-
dress accompanied by an appropriate
and costly Xmas • present. The
lady of the house objected, and
the surprise party WPrfl surprised by
being peremptorily shown the door.

AN UNGRAOIODS REFLECTION.—
Aliss•Eva Crollof Parkhill, a come-
ly daughter of' Our good citizen Mr
John Croll was home from Park-
hill during the Christmas holidays.
Mr% Keachie of' Galt and Mrs.
G-reeu of Parkhill', other daughters
of Mr. Croll also paid their parents
a visit. Referring to Miss Eva, our
town contemporary is ungallant
enough to say of Miss Eva : "The
only reason she has not a gentle-
man accompanying her is because
of•the difficulty of persuading any
one to have her." This is an un-
gracious reflection upon the intelli-
gence and personal attractions of
the young lady. From personal
acquaintance we should say that
thnonly reason she still revels in
maiden meditation, fancy free, is
becau.so she will have none of the
gentlemen. Not because no one
will have her as our cotom says.
A NOTITER INSTANCE.—We have
time and again rofrained from
publishing alleged marriage notices
unless we got them from some of
the parties to the affair, either the
principals or the minister or some
friend. Every little while instances
crop up where unauthorized and
incorrect notices are given much to
to the annoyance of the parties
concerned. Not long ago a law
suit arose out of a bogus announce-
ment of a marriage iu tho Hamil-
ton Spectator. And recently the
Sectforth Expositor waa imposed
upon by another such senseless
trick. And now comes the case of the
Landon Free Press which one day
last week contained a marriage
announcement at Chatham by Rev.
Mr. McLean, the notice purporting
to come from that gentleman. A
few days afterward that paper for-
warded the bill for the insertion of
the notice to Mr. McLean, who
repudiated it stating that no such
marriage had been perfornied by
him nor by any one else to his
knowledge. And the end is not
yet. We make no charge for such
notices, and will in no case insert
them unless wo receive what wo
consider authenticated notices of
them.
Tile "open winter" prophets are
looming up.
ON the whole the Christmas trade
of 1888 was better than anticipated.
Mu. JAMES SHEPPARD spent a
couple of days in Gederich last
week.
J. BIDDLECOMBE, the jeweller, has
a representative in the eastern mar-
kets. In a few days the public will
know all about his purchaees.
OLD '48 is laid at rest. And still
many people will forget to place
1889 on their correspondence for
some weeks.
Tewsley had an excellent Christmas
display of moat, game, and poultry.
Even the cities could not excel the
the magnificent displays of the Clin-
ton butchers.
Mn. APPLEBY, of Parkhill, was a
caller 4. at THE NEWS -RECORD office
last week. He was holidaying
among friends in Tuckersmith,
among them Mr. Frank Layton.
MISS GEItTIE PLUMMER, daughter
of Mr. Stewart Plummer, town, has
received an appointment as teacher
in the public school at Wiarton.
This makes the third sister so 'en-
gaged.
EVERY BUSINESS MAN iti Clinton
should have an announcurent in the
colunims of THE NEWS -RECORD.
'judicious advertising is 'sure to
bring a safe return. Keep your
name and business pefore the people
if you desire their patronage.
Mn. G. P. OAKES' GLEE CLUB is
composed of young ladies and
gentlemen who devote a great deal
of time to tho study of music and
voice culture. They delight their
audiences and are an entertainment
in themselves.
MILLER, the blacksmith, is a very
obliging gentleman. .He has placed
a sidewalk from Albert street to his
shop, so that customers will not
now have to plunge through the
mud. Mr. M. recently 'added a
lathe to his machinery.
A BOOM IN ORGANS.—A new
organ manufacturing company is
•about being formed to carry on
business in Clinton.' If the plan
matures the frame premises oppo-
site the Queen's Hotel will be uti-
lized at the start.
APPRECIATED COCRTESY.—We are
very much pleased with the courtesy
of Rov. Mr. Rogers of Londesboro
circuit of the Methodist church in
sending us a pretty card containing
Christmas and New Year greetings.
The mottoes aro very appropriate
and worth remembering by 'even
1113 editor.
1..tox INTEREST,—The prover-
bial quietness of school truste.e
elections. was not disturbed in Clin-
ton this year. There were no
contests this year. The only change
on nomination day, last Wednes-
day, being the return of Mr. T.
Jackson jr. for St. James' Ward,
Mr. Searle the retiring ,inernber,
not being a resident of the ward
did nut seek ,re-election:
•
MR. ROBT. THOMPSON, deputy -
reeve of the township of Huron,
EMU) eCtillty, was visiting his broth-
ers, Mr. ,Ias. Thompson, town, and
Mr. John Thompson of the Bayfield
Line, Goderich township, Om past
week. Ile has been returned with-
out opposition for several years, but
this year there will be a contest for
his position and lie will be one of
the candidates.
LIBELLOUS SQUIBS.—Sonie one
writes squibs 'occasionally for an
Exeter paper defaming some citi-
zens of Clinton and beslobbering
others. As the paper does not reach
those who might bo interested the
defamatory matter is quite innocu
()us. But the intent of the author
of the squibs is none the less repre-
hensible. Several times Mr. W.
Young, baker, has been libelled,
then Mr. James Steep is referred to
as likely to do some pretty steep
swearing in case a business diffienity
with another citizen comes before
the courts.
A REMINDER OF OLD TIMES.—We
were pleased ,last week to receive a
call from Mr. R. J. Walters of Col-
borne, son of Mr. Charles Walters
of Goderich township, who still
resides on the old property between
the Huron road and Benmijler,
where our visitor was born about
50 years ago. Mr. Walters Sr.
C31110 up most of the way from Mon-
treal, in 1832, to the Huron tract
along with the Sturdy and Whitely
faniilios, whose descendants are
still numerous in the county, and he
has lived here since that time with
the exception of about three months
in Cleveland. We were pleased to
learn that the old pioneer was com-
paratively vigorous yet. Probably
the only one of the same generation
who came here- at the same time
who is now living is Mr. John
Sturdy, now of Goderich town,
father of Mrs Pike, Clinton. We
were quite interested in Mr. Walters
jr's references to occurrences in and
about Goderich nearly forty years'
ago whorl wo both wore boys.
Verily the world moves and the
dguntry has progressed with it.
One has only to compare then'with
now to bo assured of this.

SETTLED.—DifTerenCOS will crop

parties honestly disagree. Messrs
Cantelon and Steep have amicably
and honorably settled theirs in a
mutually satisfactory manner.
Nora—Some of our Loudesboro,
East Wawanush, Nile and Lucknow
correspondence would have appear-
ed last week but that we went to
press a day earlier than usual, as We
also du this week, on account of the
holidays. Letter from Goderich
received too late for this issue, also
one from Purt Albert.
Rex. isfn. EDGE preached a pithy,
practical sermon last Sabbath even-
ing that had especial reference to
young men. Ile demolished the
pagan idea that the good die young,
and showed that virtue and good-
ness not only tended to length of
years, but also to the better enjoy-
ment of them both ethically and
materially.

A. PLEASANT A IVA IR. --Wednesday
December 26th Mies Frances Noble
was married iu Si, Paul's church,
Clinton., to Mr. H. J. Atkinson
now of Stratford. The knot was
tied by the Rev. Rural Dean Craig,
rector of the church. A largo
number of persons, including of
course a respectable majority of
ladies, were present to witness the
Interesting ceremony. Miss Nellie
Noble supported' the bride and Mr.
Atkinson thu groom. Tho attire of
the ladies was chastely neat. The
ceremony over the parties to the
contract signed the register and
were driven to the residence of the
bride's mother. Here assembled
about forty invited guests including
Rev. Mr. Craig and Rev. Mr.
Livingstone and others of town.
-Among those from other places
wero Miss 13astine of Hamilton, Mr.
Smith of Chicago, Mise Watson
and Miss Mamie and Mr. Abraham
Smith and Mr. and Mrs. F. Elliott,
of Goderich, and. Mr. Atkin-
son, brother of the groom, of Sea -
forth. A magnificent dinner had
been prepared and though it was
the day after Christmas when
people are supposed generally .to
have their palates palled with good
things, the spread here was of so
tempting a character as to invite a
vigorous and long sustained attack',
but with only partial success, for
though quip and joke and merry
talk naturally gave zest to the
would-be annihilation of the im-
posing array of viands, and though
they did good work they had to
retreat, sighing not for other tables
to conquer, but at the thought that
the profusion of good things was
more than a match for even their
most eagerly assimilating inten-
tions. T116 happy couple were
showered with plentiful congratula-
tions and at the station with the
time honored rice. The bride was
the' recipient of many valuable
presents and nobly did she deserve
them. The presents consisted of
oil paintings and other articles of
virtue and costly silver and china
and other ware. Tho newly wedded
couple took the afternoon train for
.,llarnilton and other points and will
return and take up their rosidenee
in Stratford. They have the best
wishes of THE NEws-REconn.

. The Westfield ten -meeting was a
grind success so far as the inner-
. man, is concerned, bet otherwise was
a failure. • . , • .
Mr. Win. liallahan fell off his
straw stack ono day last week and
broke one of his ribs which is press-
ing on the lung, and it may bo some
time before he will recover.
'rhe air was swelled with music
ou Monday evening. Howit did
ring; horns blowing, guns going off,
singing, etc. A regular open-air
concert. A collection was to be
taken up, but the boys did not get
the hat half full, Stick to it boys.
Mr. A. M. Robertson, of West-
field, who has taught for two years,
resigned and intends residing in
Goderich for some time. His schol-
ars presented him with a Bible and
album as a smalltoken of their re-
spect and love for him both person-
ally and as a teacher. Mr. Robert-
son will not be easily replaced as he
was a grand worker in the temper-
ance cause as well as in the church.
May success ever follow him.
Butchering is becoming a panic
around Westfield. Mr, It. To ny,
of Skunk's Hollow, was the fi • to
start, and has so glutted the n arket
that Mr. N. Campbell peddled a
bullock's head from the Maitland
river to Torn Taylor's Mills and
could not get a bid on it, not even a
penny, so thinking it hard times
he shouldered it and struck for home
concluding that one butcher in the
back -woods was sufficient.
The Union tea -meeting which
was held on Friday evening was a
grand success in every way but
financially. Tho night was tad, the
crowd was small. The speakers
were : Rev. A. McLean, Blyth;
Rev. Mr. Irwin, Nile; Rev. Mr.
Tonge, Blyth; Mr. Maley, Auburn.
The grand staff of speakers made it
a success in that particular, and as
for music we need not comment, it
was simply immense, as the Blyth
choir is noted to be one of the best
in the county and added much to
its laurels on Friday evening. Wo
cannot say too much in, favor of the
Myth choir. The Union was offered
the "assistance of Westfield choir,
but they knew they could get a
superior one of their own small
congregation, and to set it oft' they
obtained the Blyth choir.
Lucknow.
A very pleasant time was spent

Jas. Graham, Sheppardton, received
upwards of $40 in presents from
her friends and pupils, which shows
the esteem and regard in which she
is held. The first presentation to
her was a toilet sot, and a beautiful
card receiver given by B. Findlater
and E., .McLaren in behalf of the

silver cake basket, and a music
holder, by Ada Grundy, and M.
McNabb, in behalf of the school.
Then a valuable dressing case, en-
closed in a terra cotta, plush. cover-
ed eitS13, and a beautiful work basket,
accompanied with the following
address :—
To Mesa 4. M. Graham:
DEAR TEACRER.—We, the !MOM of

milled with so much acceptance.and ability
during the past three years, learn, with

for your thoughtful kindness and unceas-
ing interest in our welfare, and pray that

memento of our affection and good will,
and wishing you A Merry Christmas and

Several other valuable presents
were presented to Miss Graham,
but too numerous to give full par-
ticulars of.

—Mr. John Down of Exeter sold
two dressed chickens in that village
the other day which weighed twenty
pounds.
—The Brussels Bagel is still
unearthing hogs. Its latest is : Tom
Hall, bas bought the largest hog sold
in Brussels this season. It weighed
522 pounds, and was fed by Mr.
Hewitt, of Walton,
—The Blyth Standard says :
There were 151 dressed hogs bought
on the market here on Saturday last
the average weightlof which was 204
lbs. and the money paid out for them
was over $2,000. Watson & Freeman
were the buyers.

ARE YOU IN DEBT?
We ask the question seriously.
On our books are a large number of
small accounts that aggregate a good many
dQI1ars'
Ifyou owe Trtz NEws-RECORD $1.25 or
more, we invite a prompt settlement.
If you have not received your account,
aik for It ; if you have received it, we ask'
an early response.
During the last few weeks a large trn.
her of accounts have been sent out, anti
during the next few weeks we will send
out many more.
TRE NEWS -RECORD is now better
worth $2 a year than $1.25 when the pres-
ent proprietors took possession of it bver
six years ago, and still the p.ice remains
at $1.25 in advance.
We dislike dunning, but accounts that
have remained open for two years or more
must be settled.
To those who pay up, and a year in
advance, during this month, $1.,25 a year.
—the advance price— sill only be charged
otherwise $1,50 will be charged amyl col-
lected.
During our netVapaper experience
many years wo have never had to sue any.
of our patrons, and wo do not desire to,
increase accounts witli Court costs.
To those in arrears we say—and say it
candidly—pay up and save costa.,
