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, " Blyth ' Ira., -,-We are sorry to state that Mrs Jamieson, mother of Mr It H, AMIS. son and Mrs Ashbury, is lying very low at present,at thelatter's residence, and but slight hopes are entertained of her recovery.

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.
