Sinrry.—The other day while Mr

the woods, his dog, which is a "dead
sport," discovered a Canadian porcu-
pine, and came back with his nose all
, filled with quills. It took considerable
• time to remove them.

discouraging repoats of the prospects
out there. One who has 2000 bushels
of grain, states that he cannot sell a
bushel at any price, because some of it
is slightly frozen. Another who has a

therefor. Still another writes that in

We aro going to have a Montbly Bargain Day.
Our reason for.this is:
No matter how careful we are and how close we watch our
stock there are always odds and ends accuraulating that if
they are not cleared out, quickly depreciate in value; this we
want to avoid as much as possible, and will gather these tines -
together every month, place them on our counters marked at
prices that will sell them.
Also from time to time we hay e chances to pick lines of goods
that for one reason or another are offered us 'below regular

Harry Beacom, a shoemaker, who car-
ried on business here for a number of
rears. has been a little off mentally, and

to have some sport at his expense. He

for about ten days. The Grand Union
stable is being moved to the corner of
Mary and Isaac streets; Mr Riley, of
Londesboro, has the work in hand!
his son got his fingers hurt pretty bad
and has been compelled to quit work.
Mr Alex. Macpherson, of Stratford, an
old Clintonian, has returned from a
visit of over a month with his son, A.
C. Macpherson, wholesale fruit dealer
at Winnipeg. A Toronto citizen, on
his way Goderich, lost a purse con-
taining $75, on the G. T. R., between
Stratford and Goderich on Saturday.
Hon. J. C. Patterson was recently at
Montreal consulting the C. P. R. of-
ficials in regard to the extension of
their line from Wingham to Goderich,
31 miles in length, and subsidized by
the Dominion to the extent of $99,200;
it is likely that the C. P. R. will start
the work at an early day. Miss Tilt,
a young lady long a resident of Clin-
ton, and held in the highest esteem,
was married at Woodstock on Tueaday.
Mr W. J. Commander, eldest son of C.
R. Commander, of London, formerly
of Clinton, died there on Sunday last.
Mrs Hovey got home from her trip
west last week. A sleigh load of young
people visited Seaforth Temperance
Lodge on Wednesday. The regular
meeting of the McKillop Insurance Co.
takes place' at Seaforth to -day. We
understand that it is the intention of
Mr A. S. Weeks to leave town in a few
days, with a view of moving west.
Mr F. Macpherson has returned from
his trip to Winnipeg. Mr Dan Shan-
ahan has bought the Andrews property

streets for the sum of $1,000; it con-
sists of the corner lot on Queen and
John streets and four lots on Shipley
street, with buildings and trees; he
purposes fixing up the property and
will reside in it. School Sections,
Sunday Schools, wedding parties and
others who purpose buying Christmas
presents, will find exactly what they
want and at the best prices, in the
stores of Clinton dealers. Mr.Richard
Irwin is attending a meeting of the
Home Circle Executive, at Toronto.—
The Gun Club had a pigeon match yes-

PRACTICAL ADVICE.
FURS For Facing
_Frost's Fierce Flurries
Notwithstanding all that may be said to the contrary,
there is not the slightest doubt but that the wearing of
Furs is conducive of good health. Look at the people
who have to endure the severest climates, like the Bus,
sians, Esquimaux,the people of Scandinavia and numer-
ous others, all hardy, robust and healthy, and all these
people wear Furs entirely in winter. Therefore reason-
ing from their condition, it is apparent that we who have
somewhat severe climate would be healthier and more
comfortable if we paid more attention to our clothing in
winter weather. All may be comfortably clad.
For Men FUR COATS of various kinds at
prices very litt13 above ordinary tweed coats
In Ladies' wear we have a stock of Capes,
Caps, Muffs and Collars in Black Hair, Op -
possum, Bear, Sable, Baltic Seal, 5 S. Seal,
Beaver, Nutria, Fox and White and Black
Persian Lamb.
One thing to remember in buying our Furs, every article
is made of whole skins; no pieces, only the choicest skins
used. "See our stock."
