QUICK WORK.—In the last mouth of 1889, Mr Joe.Allanson rented about 50 acres on the London Road owned by Mr J. Joslin, of Virden. He plowed up to about Christmas, and on Wednesday finished seeding the place. This is pretty quick work, but Joe is always bound to be first in some way or the other. SPRING CLEANING.—The Spring street scraping was done last week and as a consequence the main thor- oughfares are much improved. The preservation of health demands a thorough cleansing of a -number of filthy -backyards in -the heart- of the town, which appear to be made the common receptacles for all kinds of organic matter. THE FALL Snow.—The directors of the Huron Central Exhibition have decided on holding the fair on Sept. 23, 24 and 25. Every effort to make the exhibition a success will be put forth by the officers of the society, there being several new attractions and features. It is intended to offer special prizes for entire horses to be exhibited on the second day of the show, and to make this feature of the exhibition one of the very best. LEAVING TOWN.—We understand that Mr Shearer intends leaving town at the end of the month. We regret his intended removal, as he has been a good and popular citizen during his stay here. In musical circles he will be particularly missed, he having taken an active part in many of the entertainments that have been held, his abilities as an instumentalist, al- ways being at the disposal of social and public gatherings. He will carry away the good wishes of all, and will be missed especially by the people of St.Paul's Church, where he has taken a prominent part in the musical ser- vices. AFTER MANY YEARS.—Last year '`:?• a gentleman residing here was down in the State of Maine, on business. 71 Happening to call at a house,'without the slightest knowledge as to who re- sided there, he was astonished to find .,that the lady who opened the door in response to his knock was one whom tlWr he had paid attention to 25 years since, and had not seen during the interval. Both in the meantime had, however, married. The lady did not ^,. recognize her former lover, but on his declaring himself, insisted on his accepting the hospitality of her home while there, and we have the gentle- man's word for it that he spent a very pleasant time indeed. VERY UNLIKELY.—This para- ° graph started by the Toronto World is going the rounds :—"It is stated on good authority that Mr D. McGilli- cuddy, of the Signal, will oppose Hon. A. M. Ross for the Local Legislature. This will be a case of Grit against Grit" We do not know Mr 1 cGillicuddy's intentions, but we do not think there is the slightest atom of probability in the case. There is no split in the Lib- eral ranks in the first place, Mr Mc- Gillicuddy knows it would be against his own personal interests in the sec- ond place, and we believe be has too much sense altogether for such a ";questionable undertaking in the third place. IT WON'T PAY. -- The Brussels Post recently started an agitation for a binder twine factory in that place, and several other papers are making the same recommendation for their respective towns. It is s commen- dable effort to try and build up the industries of a place, but they may as well drop the idea of running twine factories. Some time ago Mr D. A. Forrester, the proprietor of the Clinton flax mill, thought of engag- ing therein and made minute in- quiries as to cost of machinery, etc., and found that the necessary outlay, even on a small scale, would be so large that .the business could not be ,;. undertaken by persons of ordinary means. PUBLIC BUILDINGS.—Listowel peo- ple are pressing a claim to the Dom- inion Government for a building to be used as a post office and customs house. A petition has been largely signed and forwarded to Ottawa. Mr Hessen is urging the Government to erect a post office in Listowel. He will succeed. Had South Perth a e representative whose interests were in the Riding,St Mary's and Mitchell Would also have some chance of ashare '; to Government recognition.—Mitch- ,011 Advocate. [If one is erected in Lis- towel why not in Clinton also? °ode - rich has secured one, and during Mr Porter's campaign his canvassers pro. wised great things for Clinton, if he were elected. Unfortunately the pro- iniseti have not materialized yet, and if the principle laid down by the Ad- *beate is to be followed otit,fi&r Porter w:tyhould set about doing something for town that, according to what his OW» supporters say, was the means of eleoting hint.

John Menery, of Bayfield, left for Carberry on Monday, being ticketed through Mr W. Jackson. A copy of Syrlin, the last novel by the well known writer Ouida bas been handed us by Cooper & Co Mr J. W. Hill, of the:Gravel road, has rented a house from Mrs Dun- can, and moves into town next month. George W. Scott, of Sebringville, has come to Clinton, where he takes a position in the Doherty organ and piano factory. . Good day 1 Do you read Tse New ERA. There is no excuse for you if don't ; it is only $1.50 a year in ad- vance. All the news. Mr Roland Beatie was negotiating for a livery stable at Wingham, but the price asked was higher than he was willing to go. Miss Lily Evans, the talented young elocutionist, late of the Philadelphia School of Elocution, will recite "The Race," from Ben Bur, in the hall, next Tuesday night. Harland Bros. are patenting their oil and varnish can in Great Britain; they have it patented in bothCanada and the United States, and they des- erve to make money out of it, as like- ly they will. The London Advertiser says :—J. F. Sherlock, general agent for W. Doherty & Co., of Clinton, is home N from Quebec,. ew..Biunswick. Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. He has had a very successful trip. DRIVING PARK.—At a recent meet- ing of the Driving Park Association, the following officers were elected for 1890.—President, T. C. Doherty; Vice Pres., L. Kennedy; Directors,— J. E. Blackall, 0. Johnston, J. Copp, D. B. Kennedy, I. Rattenbury, R. S. Doan; N. Robson, Sect. and Treas. INDUSTRIES. --In reply to the ad- vertisment in the Toronto dalies con- cerning this town as a favorable manufacturing centre, applications have been received from a manufac- tures of rubber goods and also from a confectioner, asking for particulars. These matters will likely be consider- ed at the coming meeting of the Board of Trade. FRUIT PROSPECTS.—Mr D. Can- telon informs us that at present the prospects for fruit are very good. Of course it is early in the season, but he says the trees are full of bloom; in fact he never saw them looking better at this season. He also states that in going about the country he lute paid particular attention to the fall wheat, and, with few exceptions it'also is looking well. CANED.—The cityeditor of the Lon- don Free Press is familiarly known as "Jack" Dewar, and a right good fellow he is too. The other day his employers presented him with a gold headed cane, in recognition of 28 years' faithful service in, the office. The present proprietor of the NEW ERA was for one summer a workman in the `same department as Mr Dewar and can corroborate anything good said of him. GUN CLUB.—The annual meeting of the Gun Club was held at the Queen's Hotel, on Wednesday even- ing, when the; following officers were elected :—Hon. Pres. Jos Whitehead; Pres. John McMurray; Vice Pres., Dr. Blackall ; • Sec Trees C. Milne. Committee of management :—Jos RydMine;; Auditors, T. M. rJo�,JnoRydero andlC. T. M. Carling. Regular practise day will be Monday of each week during the summer. DEATH OF MR DICKSON.—A11 mourned, but few were surprised, at the announcement on Tuesday that the spirit of Mr Chris. Dickson had taken its flight. His first introduc- tion to this town was several years ago, when,'leaving the teaching pro- fession in McKillop, he embarked in mercantile life by buying out the stationery stock of W. H. Ransford. He continued in this line until a few weeks ago, when the business was purchased by Cooper & Co. His health had not been good for three or four years, and some time ago he went to the old country for the express pur- pose of consulting the best physicians there. He came back apparently much better, and for a time seemed as though he would master his ill - nese, but fate was against him, and he gradually sank. On Friday last he was down town and seemed to be no worse than he had been hitherto. On Sunday he took his meals down stairs with the family, but kept his room all Tuesday. On the evening of that aday, talking his father-in-law, him athwwch tunbett e he was able to sit up and converse ap- parently just as well as usual. Mr Corbett left him and went down stairs and shortly afterwards, when Mrs Dickson went up into the room, she wats the dead. himfind kneeling lad Igo out of bed, and attempted to dress himself, but his strength failed, as his heart had ceased to act.— He was only a young man, not yet 31 years, and had not his health given wayone of the successful. u would most mostll His havey been and pluck in fighting against the dur- ing"grim the past few a months s he shaveebeen the subject of comment by many in town.

He was a Liberal In polities, and when able to go out he usually attended the Methodist church. His wife and two children survive bim.

The regular monthly meeting of the W.C.T.U. will be held at the house of Mrs Burchill next Thursday afternoon at three o'clock. The young people of Rattenbury St. Church give a Johnny cake and maple syrup social to -night. A fine program will also be rendered. At St. Paul's church on Sunday evening, the congregation were favor- ed by a solo by Mies Lizzie Logan in which she did herself credit. For the entertainment to be given in St Paul's school house this evening, the admission will be only 5 cents, in- stead of 10, as mentioned last week Rev Robt. Walker, of Harriston, (uncle of Mr Thos. Walker) who was visiting in town, occupied the pulpit of Rattenbury street church last Sun- day morning. Rev. E. S. Rupert, of Paisley, who is on the Board of Examiners, meet- ing in Mitchell this week, dropped in to see his old friends on Monday, and spent Tuesday in cordial hand shak- ing. Rev. John Mills, of Mitchell, preached in Ontario St. Church, on Sunday last. Nearly thirty years ago Mr Mills was stationed en Clinton Circuit, and his old friends were glad to see and hear bim. Among the probationers for the Methodist ministry that are this week under examination at Mitchell, are, Messrs Churchill, Mustard, Cosens, Truax and blathers, all young men from this section of the county. ST PAUL'S CHURCH.—An open meeting of the women's auxiliary:will be held on Thureday,April 24, in the schoolroom,. at S .p.m.,_ when $__paper on missionary work will be read by Mrs Newton, wife of Rev T. G. New. ton, of Bayfield. Music by the choir and others; everyone welcome. Rev. B. L. Hutton, of Victoria St., Goderich, will preach in Ontario, St., next Sunday, evening, Rev Mr Edge going to Goderich. Rev Mr Living- stone will preach in Ontario street church in the morning, and Rev Mr Hutton in Rattenbury street. The services in Ontario Street church will be in the interest of the Educational fund. The meeting of the Guelph confer- ence, Methodist Church, takes place at Stratford in June next. We notice by the printed program of proceed- ings that Mr A. H. Manning is to de- liver an address on "Education," and Rev. Jas. Livingstone and J. Edge are both down for special work dur- ing the proceedings of the conference. The Rev John Scott, M. A., of Wingham, gave an address on pluck, to the young people of Ont.St. church, on Tuesday evening. Quite a num- ber of the young people of Rattenbury St. church were also present. The reverend gentleman handled his sub- ject both from a spritual and tem- peral standpoint; laying stress par- ticulary on the fact that pluck and perseverance were the essentials •of success in •spritual life, as they are in temporal. The address was an ex- ceedingly good one, well appreciated and the speaker was partially repaid by a cordial vote of thanks. The Y. 1'. C. A. of Willis church, gave a most enjoyable and pleasant social at the church, last Tuesday evening, which closes their fortnight ly meetings for the season. There was a large attendance. The pro- gram reudered was short and select. At the close of the program the mem- bers of the Association treated those present to a light repast of coffee, bread and cakes. The Association have had a successful and profitable course of meetings. The prayer meetings held by the association, on Sunday evenings, before service, will be continued during the summer. The attendance at Rattenbury St. church, on Sunday evening last, was particularly large, some, no doubt, attracted by the ui3e of the electric light, others by the announced topic for the discourse, "Do the Methiodists drink half the liquor consumed in Clinton?" Mr Livingstone prefaced his remarks by saying that a liquor dealer had told him "The Methodists drank their share of the liquor con- sumed in town," and he had resented the statement at the time. Mr Liv- ingstone then proceeded to say that he could not prove that the Metho- dists drank their share of the liquor --the members must answer that question for themselves—but he did not believe the Methodists were re- sponsible for much of the liquor con- sumed. He had no quarrel with the liquor seller; his natural feeling was to be at peace with all men, but when he found a business that was destroy- ing and hindering the work ministers of the gospel were trying to do, he was opposed to that business. The business of the living church was to bring the world back to Paradise, and to make man like God, but the business of the liquor traffic was to keep man down. In strong and eloquent language be condemned this traffic, and hoped that if there were any Methodists who were a party to its continuance, they would hereafter keep aloof from it. In closing his remarks he asked that all those who do not drink the liquor to stand up, and almost the entire congregation rose to its feet. Then asking for those who did drink to stand up, there was no response. On behalf of the ladies of the W.C.T.U. Mr Liv- ingstone asked all who would don the blue ribbon to do so, and for fifteen minutes the ladies were busy pinning this emblem of temperance to the breasts of ladies and gentlemen, who thus acknowledged themselves to be in sympathy with these principles. About two hundred donned the blue ribbon. Mr Bruce, dentist, has rented the house now occupied by Wm. Coats. Master Mlle Watt, of the Base line is able to be around again, but is still very weak.
