THE NEWS -RECORD is sending
out several hundred accounts, chief-
ly for back newspaper dues. These
MUST BE PAID AT ONCE to avoid
unpleasantness. We know the great-
er portion of them will be attended
to without any pressure. To those
who are dilatory, we would earnestly
ask them to shake off dull sloth and
remit early. We have never yet had
to call in the aid of the Courts and
hope we never will have to do so.
But we must have money.

MR. J. C. GIL.ROY has bought out
the Dry Goode business of Mr.
John Wiseman, of Clinton, at a tate
on the dollar. We bespeak for
Mr. Gilroy an extensive and success -
full trade as he is well and favor-
ably known and knows the close of
goods required to meet the taste of
the people and knows also where
and how to buy them. We think
the people should look through the
house full -of new stuff he has to
show and get his prices. 650.11,

ously wait the result.

By mistake, which was caused
by Mr. Cook not under stand-
ing the tenders, it was stated
in these columns a few weeks
ago that Wm. Cooper had the con-
tract for the carpenter work on Mr.
Arthur Cook's new residence. It is
S. S. Cooper who has the job. He
will no doubt perform the work in
a manner creditable to his estnhlish•
ed reputation, The building will
show throe fronts with five gables
and two bay windows, and will be
one of the handsomest residences in
town, and with the cream of other
tradesmen represented on the work
it is fair to pres'arce that the
Architectural beauty of design will

he will be much missed.
WINTER WHEAT PROSPECTS.—
The Toronto, London, Woodstock
and Galt papers report winter wheat
and clover as having come out safely
in the vicinity of those places. So
far as we can glean this portion of
Huron is equally fortunate and a
much greater acreage than usual was
sown. -
SEVERAL of our youth and beauty
attended a ball in Goderich on the
31st ultimo. By the way we notice
that Clinton young folk have sever-
al times been entertained by thooe
of adjacent towns this winter and so
far have not entertained. Is it yet
too Wel Or are they opposed to
reciprocity I
MR.. S. J. REID passed through
Clinton with his family to Goderich,
one day last week, from Winghein,
where he has been running a tailor-
ing business for some tome past.
The Advance of that town says "Mr..
Raid made many friends while
here, who will be pleased fo hear
of his success in the circular town,"
The Times says, "We understand
Mr. Reid intends taking a situation
as cutter in a large tailor establish-
ment in Cleveland, Ohio. Mr.
Reid made many friends during his
short residence in town, who will
regret his departure."
CORRECTION.—Last week in Com-
paring the vote given for Reform
and Conservative candidates in the
Local elections last June and in the
Dominion elections last March we
stated that in the former case Mr.
Garrow had a Reform majorty of 35,
in the municipalities that are in
West Huron for Dominion purpos-
es. A friend calls our attentiou to
the fact that we erred in favor of
the Reformers, the correct figures be-
ing 236 majority for Garrow and
261 for Roberts, giving a Conserva-
tive majority of 25 for Roberts iu
the municipalities referred to. We
made the statement from mem-
ory and gladly amend it as the cor-
rection intensifies the peculiarity of
the vote in March.
FOR LA GRIPPE AND PNEUMONIA.
—'fake ten or twelve law onions
and chop them fine, and put iu a
large snider over a hot fire; then
add about the same quantity of rye
meal, and vinegar enough to make a
thick paste; bat it simpler over a hot
fire five or ten minutes. In the
tnosuwhile stir it thoroughly ; then
put it into a cotton bag, large enough
to cover the lunge; apply to the cheat
as hot as the patient can bear, when
this gets cool apply another, and
thus continue by reheating the poul-
tices and in a few houre the patient
will be ont of danger. This valu-
able recipe was g•ven several
years ago by au old physician, who
stated that it had never failed in a
single instance to effect a cure of
this too often fatal malady.
CHANGED HIS RESIDENCE.—MI'.
\V. T. Farquhar, who for many
yenta resided in Millen, but find-
ing itis farm thele too small sold it
some time ago, purchased at auction
in Hensall, Saturday March 28th,
the Holden farm on the Parr Lino,
township of Hay. The farm consists
of 100 acres, fair frame building and
two frame barns, etc. The price
paid was $5,525. It would seem
that firming lend cannot he had for
nothing just yet in Ontario, what-
ever might he the case did we have
free trade with the United States
and the enormous surplus agricul-
tural produce of that country to com-
pete with in this country, coupled
with their higher taxation. The
snub given the annr'xationiatsat the
recent elections has stiffened the
value of farm Lands in Ontario, and
the higher prices for farm produce
that have resulted so soon after them
would seeni to be more than a coin-
cidence, to be in fact the legitimete
result of the endorsat.ion of British
connection and a policy that secures
the British markets on the most ad-
vantngeoua terms for our farmers.
Mr. and Mrs. Farquhar will be
touch missed by their many old
friends in Hullett, who all wish
them success galore in their now
horno. A few days after be made

was offered an advance of $300 over

Wrr Cooper & Ga
HOPE So.—"Moses Oates" says
that we will this year have the warm
est and pleasantest •April. that we
have hnd for many years. The first
half of May, or even up to the 24th,
is to be cold and backward, but
with no frost of any consequence.
On the whole Moses considers the
season will be a favorable one for
the crops, As "Moses" proper
name is Mowat, this must be re-
liable.
KiND 0' TOUGH.—A citizen writes
us that he noticed an item last week
in the News IIECURD about an uu•
married young lady sawing a pile of
wood for a wager ar.d winning it.
This, he says, "cats be beaten in
Clintou by au elderly lady who
splits up all the snarled chunks of
wood, the only kind about the house,
without any hope of it ward, hut
merely the privilege of getting meals
for two grown up node members of
the family with whorl labor is rest-
ing in innocuous desuetude."
STOCK NOTES.—M r. \. Mc-
Dougall, Kipper Ont., has purchas-
ed from W. J. Big4iuy, I1,ltnhutst
Farm, Clinton, the young Matchless
calf (Home Guard). Ile is a very
promisiug youngster. He was the
remaining bull calf of last year's
crop. Mr. McDougall has secured
a good calf and ono that will be an
acquisition to that section of coun-
try. This makes four male animals,
thoroughbred, that Mr. Biggins has
sold this spring, obtaining better
prices and more cash than usual,
and could have sold otltiu•s if he ha 1
them. There are a few good cows
and heifers in calf fur sale ut pre-
sent from the Elmhurst herd. Send
for a catalogue.
AnRoan.—A county exchange
says the wife of Mr. James Reith
and her brother, Mr, Wm. Calbick,
both died "abroad" recently, the
former at Moodyville, B. C., the
the latter at New \\resttninster, B
C. It is current etiongh, ttnfurtun-
ately, that tho two persons named
died in the localities named. Bet
not "abroad". That terra in this
connection would mean "in another
country." But British Columbia is
part of this country, part of Canada,
in spite of the fact that our neigh-
bors have, over since they purchas-
ed Alaska, cast covetous ()yeti toward
it. Mrs. Reith was a daughter of
Mr. John Calbick, town, and sister
of Mr. D. B. Calbick now of Goder-
ich. The deceased. Wm. Calbfck
was son of the former and brother of
Lhe latter. He not long ago lived
in Brussels. Mrs. Reith removed
frofn this town to British Columbia
aboutone year ago. She was h ghly
esteemed here for her many good
"WHITE WINGS," an open boat of
about 20 feet keel might have been
seen "gliding" along the streets of
Clinton one day last week. Owing
to the absence of the Venetian style
of highways the speed of the yacht
did not exceed ten miles an hour.
The motive power was quadrupedal.
EWSPAPORIAL.—Tho Woodstock
'fires has put on itsspr.ng suit and
looks quite young again. It is now
one ut the best printed, newsiest
and largest of the many first class
tt•eekl es in Ontario. Tho Wood -
stuck Sluiidarcl has ceased publica-
tiuu, the proprietor- taking hold of
the Strattord Beacon. The Strat-
tord Sun has ceased to shine and the
Mitchell Advert leer has ceased to
ndvettise. The St. John Sun, the
loading paper of the maritime pro-
vinces, haH had to succumb to finan-
cial pressure.
ON ,S'atIII'd,y last the several Dry
Goods, Millinery, Clothing and
Furnishing Merchants of our town
held their annual spring openings
and they received and deserved
considerable attention, particularly
from the ladies. Yet men as ad-
mirers or acting the part of gallant
escorts were there in not weak force.
The auroral atmosphere was not at
all one to inspire a longing for
spriug goods, nor did the
"odoriferous zephyrs" ur "Lhe
balmy breath of spring" come to
hand later in the day to make a
coiiesponding haminony with the
immense displays, yet the day was
blight and clear and the evening
not unfavorable save that the tem-
pera;uro was some degree. lower
than might be desired. Great
artistic ability was shown by the ex-
hibitors and the crowd attending
shuts, d their warm appreciation of
what had been done. The millinery
,lepartnieuts were of especial interest
to the ladies, and those who visited
them were certainly well repaid,
the beauties of colour, design and
fabric m,lt in ; them well worth inspnc-
liuu. Flowers are 3o be used to au
unprecedeutedl•y large extoot for
both hat and bonnet trimmings,
tinsell will also be much in vogue
and when both are artistically con
trived as we HAW them they produce
handsome effect. We cannot con-
tinue the enumeration of articles
and fabrics, there was much which
demanded inspection or excited ad-
miration and little that ca uld hasti-
ly be passed by. We commend to
Huronites generally the NEWS -
RECORD for a year and its advertis-
ing columns as their busineas guide.
