vancement.
NEARLY SIIPEOCATED.—On Saturday
morning Mr Jas Snell, who resides near
Constance, was coming to town with a
load of flax, and picked up Mr John La -
pier on the road, to give him a ride;when
near town a nut came of one of the
:wheels, and the wheel running off, the
'allatianp§et, with -John burierThenntth !!..
He was extricated as quickly as possible,
but none too soon, for he was almost
suffocated,
AN OPENING IN CLINTON.—Would it
not be a good and profitable scheme
for some one here to establish a bicycle
repair shop nowthat there are so nia,ny
wheels in the Huron tract? As it is
there is no repair shop nearer than
Brantford and Toronto, which is a
great inconvenience to wheelmen in
this northwestern part of Ontario.
Such a shop at Clinton would, we be-
lieve, pay well.
A noon SIGN.—There is much more
building going on in Clinton this year
than there has been for some time,
and the improvements to properties
in all parts of the town, is a very en-
couraging fact. Property, also, is in
better demand, and the indications are
that the stringency of the past year or
rio—felt in all towns—is over, and
times will be better. It is so in this
town and we hope it is so all over.
MARRIA.GE— An interesting arid plea-
sant event tpok place at the residence
of Mr J. Forden, Stapleton, on Wed-
nesday afternoon, when Miss Hattie
Forden was united in matrimonial
bonds with Mr John B. Kennedy, son
•of Deputy -Reeve Kennedy. Both are
well known, highly esteemed, and the
very best wishes of their large circle
of friends go out to them in their new
• departure. They left for a trip to the
States.
THE SIDEWALKS. — Although the
street committee has done a lot of
work—and done it well—around town
this year, there are yet a number of
places where the sidewalks and cross-
ings are in bad repair, some of them
dangerously so. The sidewalk on Or-
ange St. from Leslie's corner, north, is
in a very bad condition, the boards
having curled until they are unsafe to
walk on; the Rattenbury St. crossing
on the same street is also unsafe and
has a great deal of travel on it; there
• are others that should be looked after,
even if a fresh appropriation has to be
ade for the purpose.
INK DROPS.—School holidays are
vactically_over, and schools open on
onday next. -Farmers have had a
eqilendid chance to finish up their har-
vest. Get a copy of the Huron Central
Prize List. The dust on the country
-shas been pretty bad -for a few
slays. Apple buyers are on the hustle
and are almost plentiful as bees in a
eioverfield. Is your name on the
voters' list? A bowling alley has been
arkerted in town, this is one of the things
the town ran just as well do without.
Drum.— Though it was generally
lattown for a short time past that Mr
Win. Robinson, of the Fluron road, (a
elltort distance west of town) was in de-
clining health, it was not for a moment
*ought that he was so near the end
tof life's journey, and his death, on
Maturday morning last, came as a great
surprise to the public. Up to within a
very, recent period he was one of the
must rugged and robust of men, but
two years ago the gripp left him en-
feebled, and with a broken constitu-
tion. Of strong will and determination
he never yielded to his ailment until
he could not possibly ward off its ad-
vances any longer, and took to his bed
just a week before he died, being appa-
rently strong and vigorous up to with-
in ten days of his end. He was born
in Yorkshire, in 1818, and in early life
learned the blaeksmithing trade; at
tbe age of 32 he married, and when 34
he emigrated to the county of Huron,
being induced to come out by the
glowing descriptions sent home by the
late John Shipley. Settling on the lot
that he has ever since resided on, he
heroically passed through all the stages
of pioneer life, and helped in all the
niarvellous changes that have taken
place during those years. Very early
in life he became identified with the
Methodist church, and it has never
since ceased to have his warmest sym-
pathies and support; for many years
he was a class leader, member of the
official boards, and was one of the first
Sabbath School teachers here, and it
was always a source of pleasure to him
if he could in any way advance the
Master's cause. He was not a believer
in sham or deceit of any sort, and
therefore tried all the more to make
Isis own life plain and real. His politi-
•al sympathies were with the Liberals.
He was a warm hearted neighbor. a
loving and indulgent father and hus-
• band, a man of sterling integrity, and
one whose demise is unusually mourned
by all. A faithful and devoted wife,
two semi and two daughters survive
him; his second son is living at Grand
Rapids, and got here just the evening
before his father died. '

THE CLINTON iEW SBA,

White Cotton which we sold at very low prices.
We have secured another case and will have them
open and for sale on Saturday.
They are all perfect goods, not a flaw in them
and run in length from 10 to 36 yards. This is
shorter than the mills will put up in webs, and for
this reason clear them out at job prices.
We bought them considerably cheaper than we
have to pay for full lengths, and while they last
will sell you VV hite Cotton a good deal cheaper
than you can usually buy it. For instance.
A good White Cotton at 5c worth 7c
A good White Cotton at 6c worth 8c
A good White Cotton at 7c worth 9c
A good White Cotton at 8c worth 10c
A good White Cotton at 9c worth 11c
A good White Cotton at 10c worth 12c
A few pieces of a very fine grade at 124-2c
A few pieces of Heavy Sheeting 2 yds wide at
20c worth 28c
Lay in a supply while you can buy at these low
prices. We expect this week another bale of that
fine Factory Cotton at 6 cents
Our fall stock is rapidly coming in. iiire opened and passed
into stock this week the contents of 25 cases and bales of
Cottons, Shirtings, J lannels, Blankets, Bags, 8sc

before you buy. We are satisfied it will be to your interest
