WHAT THEY ALL SAY.—Mr R. Hor- ton, of La Grange, Ill., in renewing his subscription to the NEW ERA says: —"I receive your paper regularly, and it affords me very great pleasure to read your newsy journal. I am doing well here." ERRATA.—In the printed prize list of the Huron Central Fair' several mis- takes occur in the Sheep and Pig classes— For instances, where it reads "Brood sow having littered in 1891," and' ilar places it, should read 1892. Irate 'ng exhibitors will note this. • Go To HOLMESVILLE.—We under- stand that Mr James Beattie will run conveyances on Monday evening, for the purpose of accommodating those who desire to attend the anniversary at Hohnesville Methodist church.

Mr and Miss Middleton, for Moosomin, Mrs and Miss Irving, for Chicago, James ' Smith and wife, for Cincinnati, be- sides a large number for Detroit and • Port Huron. ' DON'T BE Too SMART. — No doubt some fakirs will he here next Friday, and we would advise all men not to tamper with the nut -shell and pea and the soap roll "with a genuine toad -skin" skutotattempt to change any $50 bills for strangers, or you may come $50 short when you examine your money. In short, don't be speculative with the fakirs, for they have experience and you have not. A PRIZE Winn.—When it is men- tioned that Mr James Snell was an ex- isibiter at both Toronto and London exhibitions, the reader at once assumes that he was also a prize winner, be- cause it is an invariable rule that where a Snell is an exhibitor, he is al- so a prize winner. In the face of very strong competition Mr Snell took 10 - prizes at Toronto, and at London, pitted against the best breeders of Ontario, he took 26 prizes, taking ev- ery first prize but one in Leicester sheep, and the exception was a second prize. He also made 13 sales of stock. ;SOMETHING REMARKABLE.—Here is a circumstance that is • particularly worthy of note, and if it can be sur- * passed anywhere we would like to hear of it:—On the evening of Wednesday, Oct. 21st. 1857, the following persons ' Were initiated into the mysteries of Masonry, in Clinton:—E. Dinsley, 0,8. Doan, G. C. Dobie, and G. Fulton. Although this was nearly 35 years ago, three of these persons are still living, the first two being respected residents of the town, Mr G. C. Dobie being in London Post Office, and Mr Geo. Ful- ton being the only one deceased. The Worshipful Master at the time was the late S. H. Rance, and the Secretary, the late R. H. Read, names familiar to old Clintonians. SHEEP EXPORT.— There is seemingly an unlimited market in the United • States for first class sheep for breed- ing purposes, and the Americans are • not slow to purchase where they can get the very hest stock. Breeders in Huron have sold a good many for this market and the demand is still keen. Last week Mr John Dunkin, of Stan- ley, left for the States with a car load -of splendid Shropshires-90 head—that were to he delivered to an American there. These were purchased from the flocks of such well-known breeders as John Duncan, Malcolm McEwen and James McFarlane, Sta,nlev; William Snell, Hullett; and John Wigginton, Goderich township. I HERB AemN.—Agricgltural Fairs, 10 their original inception, are not de- signed to make money—they give back to the.people all they new() on that score and are intended to stimulate the agriculturist and artisan by friendly competition, A poor show is an in- jury to a locality. Not only are farm- ers and manufacturers discouraged rather than encouraged, Nit strangers receive unfavorable ipitssions which may seriously affect the best interests of a place. I. locality that makes a poor exhibit is apt to get a reputation amongst outsiders for lack of enter- prise and intelligence and for lack of agricultural and manufacturing capa- bilities. In this respest the Huron Central has come to the front and is known as "one of the best," In the interest of the tQW11a_rdaurrounding country we hope that the public gen- erally will take a deep and lively in- terest in the Huron Central to be held at Clinton, on Thursday and Friday next, Oct. 0-7. FATAL ACCIDENT.—A telegram was received here on Tuesday stating that "James Weir, a farmer, was killed by a runaway team at Norway., Monday evening." Deceased was a brother of Mr Wm Weir, who resides just out- side of town; he was away at Gode- ribh when the message got here, and had to be telephoned for. The follow- ing are the particulars of the accident: Mr Weir and his hired man went to Toronto with two loads of grain. The man went home first. Weir followed about 5 o'clock in the evening. He had put his horses in Smith's hotel stables, and was taking them from the stable, when they took fright and started off. In attempting to stop them he became entangled in the lines and was thrown under the feet, of the horses. He was picked up a moment later by Fred. Smith, brit was quite dead. The calk of one horse's shoe had sunk into his forehead, and an- other had inflicted a ghastly wound just above his right ear. The deceased was 35 years of age, and leaves a wife and three small children. Noms.—Regular meeting of council next Monday evening. Voters' list revision to -night (Friday.) Mr A. J.

Mr A. 0. Pattison, who has been away for several days, is again at his post as station agent. • Apples are turning- out much. better_ than it was at first supposed they would, and it is roughly estimated that there will be at least 50,000 barrels exported from this county.

THE TRADE OF CLINTON.—We are now entering upon another season's business, and looking over the past year Clinton has held its trade and is now in a position as it always is, to compete with other towns in the pur- chasing of all kinds of goods that the people require. There is no occasion for any of our townspeople or farmers to go to surrounding towns while we have merchants, tradesmen and hotel accommodation equal to any town west of Toronto. Our grain merchants pay as high prices for grain as any sur- rounding market, and all kinds of mer- chandise can be bmight here as cheap as elsewhere. Travellers and visitors who have visited our town this year are loud in their praises of the appear- ance of our wide streets, fine sidewalks and well kept lawns and gardens. The town is freer from debt than -many places we eould name, while we liaire a atifatory electric light and fire 4departtlielit% THE CLINTON NEW ERA.
