An occasion for Underwear
and their relation to our busi-
ness is now a full subject of
our talk to you this week.
How we get such fife goods
for so little money has formed
the text for many underwear
talks. We want to keep the
fact prominently before you
and the vital one of all is, that
our underwear buying power
rests on our selling power,and
this in turn is created by turn-
ing the goods over, from the
American and Canadian mak-
ers, to you, even though you
be only the buyer of a single
garment at one small profit
above commission. All are
cheap. You will find a hint
in our window of the overflow-
ing stock of Underwear we
keep.

DEIATH.—One of the very oldest set-
tlers of this township passed away
somewhat unexpectedly on Wednes-
day morning last, in the person of Mr
David Cantelon, of the 10th con. De-
ceased had been a continuous resident
of the township for 58 years, and in all
that time had resided on the farm that
he first settled on. He was born in
Tipperary, Ireland, and after coming
to this country lived about two years
in Toronto township. All the western
part of this province was "one vast
wilderness," and he bravely set to work
to hew out for himself a home; in those
days when settlers were so few and far
between hospitality, of the most genu-
ine nature was the characteristic of all,
and no house was more favorably
known or its occupants more sociable
than those of the "Cantelon home-
stead." Mr Cantelon joined the Me-
thodist church at the age of 83 years,
and has remained one of its most faith-
ful adherents through all the inter-
vening years, he and his aged partner
being members of the church at Shar-
on, while the most of his family are
also within its fold. He was for a
number of years collector of taxes, an
office he filled with general satisfac-
tion. In politics he was a Lonserva-
tive, and in his earlier days he was an
active member of the Orange Society.
He leaves a family of six sons, two of
these, Samuel and Adam residing in
thetownship. and William, Henry, Da-
vid and Peter, the well known and popu-
lar business men of Clinton; he had
three daughters also, these being Mrs
W. Cook, Goderich township; Mrs Mc-
Roberts, London township; and Mrs J.
Kyle, Douglas, Man. His wife also
survives him. He generally enjoyed
such good health that he never requir-
ed the services of a doctor until his
final ailment. He was perfectly con-
scious right up to thelast and gave the
clearest and brightest assurance of his
unshaken confidence in Divine love
and power, dying with a bright pros-
pect of that "eternal reward that
awaiteth the righteous." The funeral
fakes place to -day, Friday, and it will
be one of the largest ever seerkin this
district. Th funeral sermon ot deceas-
ed will be pr lied at 'Ilohnesville on
.Sunday wit next, "

son, missionary of Manitoba and the
Northwest, officiated in St. Andrews
church, last Sunday, and gave a very
interesting address on the work in that
part of the country.
MILLINERY OPENINGS.—The weath-
er on Saturday night was anything
but seasonable for spring bonnets.
However th,e openings of the several
millinery establishments, were well
attended. The displays were elegant
and showed taste and skill in arrange-
ment. The hats, flats predominat-
ing, were many' of them pronounced
marvels of beauty with their profusion
of lace, jet, and flowers, and showed to
the best advantage on their handsome-
ly draped back grounds of delicate fa-
brics. after viewing which, we imagine
the most fastidious taste could be gra-
tified here in Blyth.
NOTES. —Miss Christie, of Garnet, is
a guest at the Methodist parsonage, at
present. T. C. McElroy has disposed
of his neat residence at the south end
of the town, to Mr Clullen, for $750.

week. "We are to have a new tailor,
Mr McCumming, of Belgrave,it is said,
will shortly open up here. E. H. De-
ver, of Wingham, was in town on
Wednesday. Mr Moses Burling is in-
disposed at pvesent.• The members of
St Andrews church last week showed
their appreciation of the services of Mr
G. F. Oakes, who has for some time
been precentor, but who has resigned,
by presenting him with a beautiful
easy chair and several other articles of
value, accompanied by an address ex-
pressive of their good will and:esteem;
Mr Oakes has been of great service to
the church and has many friends who
regret his retirement.

some present from her Sunday school
class, one evening last week. Mr W.

try life, as he has again vacated the
Disney house, and returned with his
family to town. We learn that Mrs
A. Halsted and family will probably
leave for Manitoba in about three
weeks; others are intending to visit the
west ere long, to spy out the land. Mr
R. Docking left here on Friday last for
his home in Manitoba. Mr J. Richard-

with her many old friends here; we
were all glad to see Lizzie, and hope

on Tuesday for Stratford, where he re-
mained for a few days; he intended
going to Toronto on Thursday, *where
e expected to obtain a situation. In

was a memberof the Independent Order
of Foresters, and the brethren of the
lodge marched in a body to the Kinloss
cemetery, and at the grave performed
the last sad rites veil, impressively.

an active part in the rebellion of 1837,
and was one of the loyal volunteers
who bravely fought for the defence of
their country. In 1854 he removed to
the township of Ashfield, whichrwas
then a dense forest. His home was al-
ways the home of the ministers of the
Gospel, no matter to what denomina-
tion they belonged. He was a man of
retired disposition, and was loved by
all who had the pleasure of his acquaint-
ance. He was a life-long Conservative
in politics, and for a long time his pres-
ence will be missed in the community.,
His remains were buried in Zion ceme-
tery on the6thinst., followed by a large
funeral of sorrowing friends and ac-
quaintances.—Goderich Signal.
