B. A., late of Alexandria School,
has assumed his duties in the
mathematical department at the
Collegiate. Mr. Rand comes very
highly recofnmended, having taken
first class honors in mathematics all

the most distinguished graduates of
the Brantford Collegiate: -Greater
interest is being shown by the,
pupils than ever before in the study
of Moderns -French and German
and classics, Latin and Greek.
Perhaps it is to outside causes but
not a little of the increase in in-

ABOUT MEASURING WOOD. -Now
that fall is here and winter close to
hand, wood ie beginning to move.
The great majority of wood consum-
ers are firm in the opinion that all
wood offered for sale on the market
should be meaeured and marked by
an authorized officer. Selling and
buying wood by the load at random
ie as a rule very unsatisfactory to
both buyer and seller. Wood
should be measured and sold and
bought by measure only.

LIGHTNING CLOTHING -We do
not mean to say that Jackson Bros.,
clothe the lightning. But they
can matte and fit a man with a suit
of clothes with such speed as might
well make a thunder bolt envious.
Monday of this week a party in
Seaforth sent an order by the 10

Clinton for a full suit -of clothes and
Overcoat extra, The goods were
sponged, cut and made up and
forwarded by the 4.50 train same

OUR BOARD of TRADE.. --About
three years ago a Board of Trade
was organized in Clinton for the
purpose of advancing the town's
best interests. A working com•
mittee was formed, and for a time
groat interest was manifested in all
that pertained to the welfare. of
Clinton. What has become of this
Board, or what have they accow-
plished? THE NEws•REco0D looks
back over a space of two years and
fails to find any public record of
advancement. And we fail to find
any on the part of our local Board
at the time of the late representa•
tive meeting in England. Clinton,
with rich surroundings, her unex•
celled railway facilities, her splen•
did educational, manufacturing,
and banking institutions is a great
business centre and should afford con-
siderable food for thought for a real
live Board of Trade. We have a,very
good town council, a low rate of
taxation consequent upon small
indebtedneee. All thie should
help to induce capitalists and other
manufacturing concerns to locate
here. Other towns, less favored,
offer direct monetary inducements.
THh NEws RECORD would like to
see a progressive Board of Trade in
the town of Clintor4. If the old
one Bleeps this is a gentle remind-
er to wake up and go to work.
What our whole people desire is to
forge tho town ahead.

TIIE ESTATE OF JOHN RODGERS,
One of the finest displays ever
made in Western Ontario in the dry -
goods line wan made by the Estate
of John Iiodgens on Saturday last,
This firm spared no pains to make
their fall opening a success and as
they have an immense stuck, and a
splendid store to show it in, they
made a great show and one that was
appreciated by all people. In their
show window facing Albert street
they had a complete line of gents
furnishings; in that facing the mare
ket they had a very pretty dress with
hats millinery, furnishings etc. ; in
their Rattenbury street windows
they displayed millinery goods and
heavy dress goods. Inside to the
left were piled sample pieces of
Scotch, English and Canadian made
tweeds, overcoatings, printings, ,t•c.,
and above to the ceiling was shown a
large variety of furs. 7'o the right
were stacks of mantle -cloths, seal-
ettes, linens which were imported
direct from Belfast, and towellings.
In the show room were shown some
lovely pieces of dress good.;, beauti-
ful dresses made up, and more than
all,handsowe hats and bonnets which
made the husbands smile. The display
of millinery was splendid and reflects
great credit and shows dainty taste
on the part of the persons who con-
duct this important department.
Up stairs an elaborate display of
carpets, curtains, &o., and in another
department was shown house furn-
ishing for which this firm are so well
known. Everybody was delighted
with what they saw and with the
courteous manner in which they were
received and entertained by the
Estate.
BEESLEY AND COMPANY.
Beesley's Millinery Emporium,
througbout the afternoon and even-
ing was thronged with visitors eager
to view the new styles of headgear,
exh,bited in such elaborate profu-
sion in their epacious show room.
Millinery is Mr. Beesley'a great
specialty and in that line he carries
one of the largest and most varied
stocks to be found in Ontario, while
in quality of goods and tastefulness
of trimming it is not surpassed by
houses even in the great cities.
Every article is a gem of beauty, the
shapes are so numerous and the
colors so 'rich and varied and so
artistically blended that any face or
any complexion could not fail to be
suited to perfection by some of the
multitudinous designs. Mr. Bees-
ley's "opening" can only be fittingly
described as a brilliant success and
the lalies of Clinton and vicinity are
to be congratulated upon having in
their own town a store so admirably
equipped as "The Ladies' Favorite
Eslktblishment."
PLUMBTEEL AND GIBBING,.
The Dry Goods busines carried on
under the firm of Plumsteel &
Gibbings was established in the year
