BALLOTS.—In connection with the
municipal election in town, there will
be at any rate two ballots to be used,
and quite possibly three for each voter.
There will be the regular ballot for the
council, one for the House of Refuge,
and very 'likely one in reterence to
shutting up the cows.
POLLING PLA.CES. — The polling
places and deputy returning officers
for the Municipal election will be the
•Same as last year, viz:—Town Hall,
W. H. Hine, Dep. Ret. officer; Chid-
ley's warerooms — Thos. Johnston,
•• Rumball's carriage shop—Thos. Walk-
er; Leslie's carriage shop—Jas. Ross.
GOING BAC.—Mr Thomas Calbick
leaves fr.*/ orBritish Columbia,
rwide fie k goodsituation in view
—eve he la before. But he feels
, like kicking himself on one point, a
gentleman who is shipping a car load
• of produce to the same place has been
offering free transportation to any
person who would look after the car,
and Tom did not hear of the offer until
two days after the "snap" was filled.
flomE .CineLE.—The next regular
meeting of the Home Circle will be
• held on -the evening of the 20th inst.
As this is the annual meeting for' the
election of officet 5 and the transaction
- of other important busi9ess a full at-
tendance of all the members of the
Circle is desired. There is no assess-
ment for December, which shows the
elonomical management of the Order.
•Po1E4014tt1).—Mr J. 0. Adams, of Hul-
was in towia, on Tuesday, on his
'Way to consult eapecialist for an ail- J
iment he was suffering from. About 9
months ago he got one of his feet 'poi-
soned in some unaccountable way, and
from that time to the present he has
not been able to preform any work
whatever. He is able to move about
with crutches, andiwe hope that ere
4ng he may throw them away and
Dave the full use of his foot again.
INCIPIENT 1'IRE1 — Ileesley & Co's
•is re, on'Prl ay evening,was the scene
• of a lively commotion for a few min-
,/tes. In dressing the store some light
'andkerchiefs had been pinned to one
f 'the electric light wires, and it seems
that the pins had gone directly through
the covering to the wire, carrying the
electric current out, which set fire to
the handkerchiefs. The blaze quickly
ran up to the ceiling, but was put out
before any harm was done beyond the
breaking of the lamp and burning of
the handkerchiefs.
HEN FRUIT. —The egg industry is an
important one in this community,
even though the headquarters of the
industry is located at Seaforth. Last
month, November, Mr D. D. Wilson
shipped seven car loads of eggs to
various points. He fortnerly shipped
to New York, but the duty of 6c a
dozen imposed by the McKinley tariff,
• ,has destroyed that trade. Few people
have any idea how many eggs there
are in a ear or how much handling—
and careful handling—they require.
A car contains about 126,006 eggs, and
at the present market price ot 15e. per
dozen they are worth $1500. To put it
so that people would understand it,
we -might Say that seven cars would
rep resen t 1000 barrels of eggs.
THE WEST HURON PROTEST. —The
announcement is made that the pro-
test against the teturti of lion. J. C.
PattersOn. for West Huron, has been
dropped, the petitioners deciding not
° to go on with it. The counter -protest
dropped some time ago. The
Coneervatives pay all the costs. While
• we believe that the dropping of the
• protest was thebest thing that could
be done, under the, circumstances, we
are confident that it will give consid-
erable dissa,tisfaction to our Liberal
friends, and be perfectly useless
at any future tinie, toli,tb2mpt to raise
funds to carry' doir, it protest. Had the
protest gonenn and Mr Patterson been
unseated.—which it is not certain would
have been accomplished—he would
• simply be, re-elected again in a,by-

ing was held on Moody night, A
•number .of accounts for street work,

ceipts of the town hall for November
were $10, and of the weigh defOS,
$2420. A by-law appointing Deputy -
Returning officers and fixing places
for holding the inunicipal elections
was passed.
A SIIPPLEMENT.—Business men find -
so good_an-advertising-
medium that, without any effort or
solicitation on our part, they are in-
creasing their advertising space, and
this week we issue a supplement to
accommodate it. If it keeps on we
will be compelled to enlarge our paper
or issue a supplement every week.
BUILDING. — Building operations
have been somewhat more active dur-
ing the past year, than for some time
previous, and in common with others,
Clinton builders have been contribut-
ing their share to the general improve-
ment. •Mr Thos. McKenzie, of the
Cilnton Planing Mills, always does a
large amount of work, but this season's
trade has been the best by far that he
has had for several years. He keeps a
number of men constantly in his em-
ploy and they have hustled themselves
to fill all orders this year.
WEDDINGS.—Three weddings took
place in Clinton, on Wednesday. The
first was at Rattenbury street 11iletho-
dist parsonag,e, when Mr J.Weymouth
and Miss T. Cockerline, two estimable
youngpeople of Hullett, started down
life'sjourney together. The others
took place at the residence of Mr WM,
Farquhar, Albert street, when his se-
cond daughter, Margaret J., was mar-
ried to Mr W. Fear, of Hullett; and his
third daughter, Isabella, to Mr Albert
Moran, ofOwenSound. All he par-
ties are well and favorably known, and
the best of wishes go with them.
NOTES.—Mr Wm. Mckowen is now
employed with Mr Fred. Rumball.
"Special services" will be held in the
Rattenbury street church, on Wednes-
day, Dec. 28th, commencing at 10 a.m., •
but they are the kind of services where-
in only two persons are principals, and
after which they are figuratively called
"one." Miss Josie Fair spent a couple
of days in Seaforth this week. Messrs
Cooper & Co, are now using a type
writer in connection with their busi-
ness. A letter was found on the street
on Monday morning, addressed to "W.
Trewartha, Winthrop," and the finder
kindly posted the same. Mr John A.
Cooper. (son of Mr W. Cooper) has
opened an office in Toronto as a sta-
tioner's broker. Miss Challie Cooper
was the guest of Miss Sarah Acheson,
Goderich, over Sunday. Miss E. Stev-
ens (daughter of Mr James Stevens) is
learning telegraphing with Mr F. W.
Watts, of the Great Northwestern Co.
Mr McDonagh, of Brantford, has rent. -
ed one of Mr Gibbings' houses on Eat-
tenbury street. Mr Jos. Wheatley has
recovered from his late illness. Mr C,
A. Hartt has moved into the Mackay
block. A lady in town,who hasn't the
slightest desire or intent ion to engage
in anything illegal or unlawful, was
the recipient of a "green goods" circu-
lar last week. Several of our esteenied
pontemporapies,-- who know a- - good --
thing when they see it, are republish-
ing the "apple -packers" poem, that ap-
peared a couple of weeks ago in the
NEW Eas.; they find a number of good
things in the NEW ERA that are worth
eopying, but once in a while they
might give us credit. Miss Springer,
niece ot Mrs S. Walsh, was married a
few days since to Rev W. Whalen, of
Bervie. Miss Britton, daughter of Mr
ohu Britton, reeve of Millett has
been visiting friends in town fora week
Fast, The Molsons Bank has put in
en incandescent electric lights, and
Dr. Turnbull is lighting his office by
the same method. Miss Oliver, of Sea -
forth, is visiting in town. The many
old friends of Mr A. Straiton, agent G.
T.R., Goderich, will be pleased to learn
that he has recovered from a recent
severe illness, and was this week able
to resuine•-hia-cluties..—Me-R.-Smith
• was this week, called to Brantford,
owing to the serious illness of his eldest
son, James, formerly one of the NEW
ERA staff. The East Huron Gazette,
published Gorrie, by Mr Green, son-
n-la.w of Mr John ()roll, last week en-
tered on its secon 1 voluine; it is a clean,
bright paper, and is evidently making
good progress. On Tuesday a brake-
man was loading baggage at the sta-
tion here, when he completely smash-
ed the end of one finger. Rev. P.
Straith, of Innerkip, was visiting his
parents this week. Mrs Thos. Boles,
of Delaware, is up here 00 it visit; be-
fore he returns he expects to organize
H pine Circles at both. Londesboro and
Blyth. Mrs Amos, of Exeter, was here
on a visit to ,he. r brothers, Messrs A.H.
and W. Manning. The young meu of
the London road, must be losing their
gallantry when the old married men
have to iinderta,ke the task of conduct-
ing the young ladies home froni enter-
tainments during the silent watches
of the night, as was the case recently.
The Evaporator will close down next
week. There is talk of a billiard room
being started in town. Mr Al. May
left towri for Goderich, yesterday, to
take a position in the Organ Factory;
he is quite a musician and will be miss-
ed here. Mr. Barrow, of the Molsons
Bank, who is about to leave town was
the recipient of a set of gold studs and
cuff buttons, from a number of his
friends. Joshua Calloway, an old
Huronian, is a candidate for Winnipeg
mayoralty. The wall on Princess St.
of the burnt Cantelon building, should
be made secure or torn down, as a big
wind will bring it over some day, and
there may happen to be some one be-
neath it. Mr.Swaffield has moved into
Mrs. Tuffts house, Mary street. Mr. F.
Wheeler has taken it situation in the
Clinton Organ Factory. Mr. D. Mc-
Corvie has sold to Mr.John Brickenden
it lot on Rattenbury St.! for $175,which
is considered a good price. Miss Lena
Mason underwent a critical surgical
operation this week, and her many..
friends will be glad to know that she is
doing as well as can he pipectel under
the circumstances. Theyoung st child
Of Mr V. W. Watts also passe safely
through' d .delicate and critic oper-
atio0.

-Ladies' Haadierchiefs,
While out walking with a friend the other day the converea-
tion drifted upon the subject of conceit; said he, I had
cause to justify a case of conceit lately, W6 assented in
a questioning tone of voice, and he proceeded. The
ability and general get up of a young friend of mine
was being discussed and the rentark was dropped by one
person that if my friend was clever and possessed of
ability he need not be so conceited !
]took exception -to tbe.remarand_saidlhatif.by. good -bard-
• work an.d natural ability this 3 oung man had succeed-
ed, he could well be excused for thinking well of him-
self.

'example of our friend's friend have a few words to say:
Our ability to "BUY" goods at right prices. A glance over
