FALLWnEAT-Theweather has been :y1, admirable for the growth of Fall wheat, and there has dust been enough rain to keep the ground fairly moist. .As a.consequence thereof fall wheat is looking splendid, some people say they ever knew it to look better. STALLIONS SOLD. — Tennent Bros, `Veterinary Surgeons of Lucan and $ondon, were here last week and pur- chased, at good figures, two stallions, which they. purpose shipping to Indi- ana. Of Mr Ben Churchill, Hullett, they bought one, and of Messrs G and J W Elliott, Goderich township, anoth- er. Roth were fine animals. »Qiil'ATiON. -Mr S Hill, of this town, recently +icontrilauted $10 towards the Dh•i"sionaiRelief Scheme of the Salva - Mon Army, which is acknowledged in a very kind letter by Brigadier Spoon - et, of Loi don. Mr'Hill• is a generous supporter .o the Army, and does not hesitate'to help any 'good cause' by a judicious use of his wealth. 4;r CLINTON, THE MARKET—The other day a Wawanosh farmer came here with a load of hogs, but not liking the pijee%ofs'ered,, said-he�would go to God- emich and -'spent nearly the whole day in trying to dispose of his load, but could not get a solitary bid, and at a ,,late hortrhe returned to Clinton, satis- %a that'this was the beat market. 6Ai, PROPERTY CHANGE. —Mr H Cantelon has bought the brick house owned by Mr J H'Combe, at the end of• Raglan St, together with,. two acres of land. for the sum of 41300. The property is well worth the amount paid for it. r 11�xs_;S.;lHolmes,I of,i:Holmesville,7has bought the house and lot on the cor- ner of the salve street, owned by Mrs Preston; the; price is something over TEA:CHER ENGAGED.—The trustees of Mie Collegiate Institute have engag- ed Mr John Heusten, of Brighton. High School, to succeed Mr Turnbull as principal. of the Institute. Mr Hou- ston is a specialist in modern languages, and was for six years teacher in Lon- don Collegiate Institute in this special department. He comes to the Board very highly recommended indeed, and will no doubt prove an admirable suc- cehSor for one who'has so long stood at the head of the Institute here. COMMENDABLE.—Mrs Hitchcbx, in the course of her address on Monday evening, paid a tribute to the generosi- ty of the Grand Trunk and shows how fully they appreciate her temperance Nabors. Pointing to the Cabinet Organ that accompaines her everywhere, she said "Let me tell you how kind the Grand Trunk people are. Mr Edgar, the General Passenger Agent, said to k 1 ne,' Mrs Hitchcox, in view of the good Mork you are doing, we will carry your an for you, anywhere you want it, �,. a of charge, and I'm only sorry that agreement with the C.P.R. will not `w us to carry you free also." Such f action on the part of a great railway if coniinendable, indeed. ARBITRATION.—One of the cases that 7�1 to have been tried atlthe recent dision court, but which the parties cony .reed have consented to settle by arbitration, is of a somewhat unusual natur . After the burning of Moore's tanne , Messrs S S Cooper and Geo Hanle went around with a subscrip- tion 1' to solicit fonds to help Mr Moore *build. When the list was re- turned to Moore, the name of 8 S Cooper was on it for $50. Cooper claims that the sante was put down to represent his time as collector, and some work, being so put down (,with con- sent of Mr Moore, who, Cooper claims, understood it so at the time. Moore, ori the other hand, denies this, stat- ing that there was no arrangement whatever, nor did he so understand it, and he claims payment of the subscrip- tion. The arbitrators have taken con- siderable evidence in the case, but have not yet reached a decision. TowN Co[TNc1L. —The regular meet- ing of the council was heldon Monday evening.

In puttingg the 19 lb shot Mr Agnew car ded at the pa lin, with a put of 38 ft 9 in, thus breaking the University record, and surpassing his own record of last year by 2 ft 4 in.

A firm may advertise cheap goods and low prices as much as they please, but you may i . On it that such advertising is a FAILURE Every time if they do not carry out what they advertise, and. people soon lose confidence in such a firm. When we started our sale a month ago it was no On our part as we knew exactly what we were doing, and. how it would result. We kept faith with the public, and have the goods and at just the identical prices advertised. • THE 'CAUSE Of many a business failure can be attributed to a lack of juditrious advertising. The wide-awake merchant of to -day uses this medium of' telling the reading public what he has to sell; and the man who does not read the papers in this en- lightened age should not be allowed out alone.
