EiIaock & CO. - AddltioualLocials Awn flgulass.—Ittlas taken eeveral week e time for tho editor of the Dlyth Agionaard to a4ertein that Jelin Boll did not make a display at the recent exhibition there. Mr. Bell had an excellent exhibition Of eplendid harness in his etore, though. Probably this may eat- isfy Bro. Irwin. For many years Tu News R _WORD hue found iu Mr. Boll the good qualities of it reliable and courteous business mau, and we have pleasure in saying so. A SEVERE FALL.—a". E. Blackall, V. S., received a very eevere,shock on Saturday. He was wrilkineg along Albert street, with hie hands in hie Fockets, between Harland Brom'. and Fair's mill.. -On the call of a friend he stopped quickly and his feet shot from under his heavy weight. It was a few minutes before he was able to get up or walk. A repetition of the unlooked for and painful feat might produce serious results. STILL LATER BERRIES.—Mrs. John Layton, town, favored the Tne News RECORD on October 28th with a large bunch of senoud• growth red raspberries. They were large, ripe and well flavored The county of Huron seems to hav produced a considerable quantity second growth berries this year, an we notice that Bruce and Perth ar also favored in the same line. M Layton's sample is as good ae a we have eeen. HE DIDN'T MEAN IT. —The Mitchell Advocate, we think, is rather aevere on ghe editor of our cotelli. THE NEWS RECORD would rather incline to the belief that our seitem. was not in dead earnest when he recommended reaching for the people with a club. The Advocate says in referring to the Era's last remarks :—"The editor of the Clinton New Era should have known that the Advocate never shows mercy to hypocrites. The man who will recommend mob law, and then ascend a pulpit and dis course on religion should be given no quarter." A NEIGHBOR'S ESTIMATE. —The Teeswater News is pleased to say this of a Clinton industry :—Mr. John Skilling this week visited the organ factory of W. Doherty & of Clinton. He reports having carefully selected for his trade here, the largest and finest stock of ever brought into this section. Their arrival is expectedein a few days. He says business at the factory re booming and large numbers of D.herty organo are daily being shipped to many distant foreign lands. This large business is if credit to W. Doherty & Co., to Clinton and to Cdnada. Additional Locals HELD OVER.—Several columns of fresh editorial, local and corres- pondence matter is unavoidably crowded out this week. The mat- ter i all in type. THE NEWS-. RE001Y would have 'to enlurge its borders Co make room for all the news we harvest weekly: PACKERS' PLAT -DAT. —The 130r - thorn apply packers, in the vicinity of Blyth, will give a splendid supper at Mason's hotel, Blyth, on Tuesday evening next. .As well es a tempting menu, a good after pro- prograultee has been provided and no doubt the denizen- from Huron's garden of Eden will enjoy them- selves. A number will be present from Clinton. TOWN COUNCIL.—The town council will meet in regular session next Monday evening. Among other matters for discussion will beD the Gun Club. An agitation is on foot to rule the -club off the park grounds. Petitions and counter petitions will likely be presented. Heretofore the Gun Club have used one corner of the park under a by- law passed by a previous council, • and the subject, at this late date, • ma -y be -left over for the new coun- cil to deal with. POULTRY SEASON . —Last week poultry began to move, and a fair supply came to town.- Geese were offered in good numbers at 45c to 55c , with buyers to purchase. Ducks run from 30c to 450. Chick. ens, per pair, from 25c to 40c. Turkeys came in slow, the market not being as brisk ag in other lines. So far there has been a scarcity of chickens, but with the prospect of cooler weather, poultry of all kinds may now be said to be well on the market. Now is the best time to sell. Additional Locals. Ir you see it in THE Nowa, RECORD, itis true. A CITIZEN, in talking of clay for making brick and of our looal brick. maker "Tom" East, said the or- iginal man was made of clay but Tom is a regular "brick". Another party dissented by sayiny brick is burned day and hoped that Mr. East would never go through that procees. Toole His OwN Lus.—George Roberts, who snicided by wilfully taking an overdose of laudanum at Orillia last Friday, was known in Clinton. He was a traveller with Millburn & Co., and called at this place for several years. He was only 28 years of age. A fasciae, tion for gambling is assigned for„ the reel' act. • ACCIDENTALLY RUPTURED. — Eddie Cautolon, son of grocer Wm. Cantelon, met with a peculiar and unfortunate accident on Wednesday. On the farm of Mr. Tighe, Hullett, the young man alighted from the wagon and engaged iu packing apples. In a very short time severe pains in the abdomen compelled him to leave off work and after con sultino a 'doctor the cause of the trouble was pronounced a rupture. He is doing well but will not be able to engage in any heavy work for a collards rable time. THROWN FROM HIS BUGGY . — Last Wednesday "Boxy" Walker had a narrow escape from being killed. He was returning by vehi- cle from Goderich. The night was dark. When near the railway crossing just outside of Goderich, Mr. Walker pulled out to the pro- per side of the road to allow an- other rig to pass from the opposite direction. In doing so he came in forcible contact with n baker's cart. "Roxy" was forcibly thrown to.the ground on hie right shoulder and dragged for -a considerable distance. The result was a dislocation of the shoulder bone. He is able to be around, but will carry his arm in a sling for some time. John Walker was also in the rig and the way he flew in the air entitles hin:i to be. Ottani:1 as a professional acrobat. He was not much the worse for the "air sail" and may be found as usual at \IoKenzie's plining mill. PAINFUL OPERATION.—THE NEWS - RECORD exceedingly regrets to learn that Mr. Joseph Lang, formerly editor of the Kincardine Review and Owen Sound Sun, is lying dangerously ill in bbe Winnipeg hospital. During the local elections in Manitoba Mr. Lang took a very active part in the contest. He was thrown from his buggy in an noei'. dent and had his left leg broken. It seems that, in the first place, the broken leg was not properly set and that the break did. not knit. After four month e of intense suffer- ing, and no improvement, it was decided by tie doctors in attend- ance to have the leg broken and re- set. This performed, it was found that the leg had not been half set, so the bones had to be sawed in order to have them connect. The operation was a painful one, and nearly cost him his life, but owing to his strong constitution, and tem- perate habits, he is in a fair way to recovery. Mr. Lang Ellso had a leg broken while at Kincardine. He is a gentleman of high literary attainments and well known to many of our readers. Word of his complete recovery would be gratify- ing news. L Additional Locals CAv ERLEY, the you ug Toronto athlete, who has just walked over Niagara Falls on a wire cable, is go. ing to repeat the performance next July with a newspaper man on his back.

ADVERTISING PAYS.—Read the "old reliable" James An erson's foruible talk this week. Churches and PouPle. • Mr. James Fair, jr., is progressing very faborably., • Mise Robinson, of Kirkton, is on al telt to her slater, Mrs. W. 0, Smith. Mise Jean K. Matheson, of town, was visiting in Seaforth last week. Mr. Freeborn again preached in St. Paul's church last Sunday. Mr. John West has so far recovered THE famous Guy Brothe TILE NEW ()WOE HALL —The /committee have rented the New hall in the McKay Block over Runtball'e jewelry 'store and will take possession on the let of The amber. The premises will likely bo carpeted and one of the most in- viting and comfortable in town. QUANTITY AND QUALITY WILLDO IT.—The Expositor remarks :— M rs. J. G. Steep, of Goderich township, presented the editor of THE NiEws. RECORD with a quart of delicious full grown raspberries, freshly picked from her garden. Feast ing .on Ootober-grown rasp -berries ehould make even an Editor fat. • REMOVALS.—Mr. James Sheppard has taken up his residence on Orange street, the property at one time owned by the late Hugh Moore. The house has been thor- oughly overhauled and rebuilt, the grounds adjoining improved. The property has been made a desirable one by the owner, Mr. Sheppard.— "Dave" Gardner is moving to the Walkinshaw property on Maple street.—Mr. Ben Cole on Friday removed to the cottage on Isaac street recently vacated by Mr. Jas.' Shoppard.—Robins Bros. will oc cupy premises in the McKay block, just about where THE NEWS -RECORD office was formerly located. We notice the sante firm have got nicely settled in new quarters on Main street, Mitchell. WORDY WARFARE.—There was a wordy warfare on Albert street the other day between two gentlemen. One of them helped to fill a oar by shipping a horse and outfit to the Northwest. The horse and rig were to be delivered, it is said, at Killar- ney fol $25, the payment to be made on return to Clinton. It seems the contractor did not fill his contract, as the outfit was not de• livered at that place. It is claimed, apparently justly so,ghat the con- tractor dumped off this particular part of his car load at a station many miles before reaching destination, made the best use of the horse an.4 rig and left the whole outfit with a liveryman and $25 freight against it. If the freight was to be collect- ed at all. it seems very peculiar that it was not paid before leaving Clin- ton, or an agreement to pay it on the return. At one time the difficulty looked as though it might have boon settled in a muscular fashio.n, but now it ill probably go to the•courts. TnE TABLES TURNED.—One sided jokes are at least not universally appreciated. A gentleman the other day received a collect message from Mitchell with instructions to buy tho oysters as the result of a lost wager. The cost of the tele- gram was p.aid, and the oysters for three or four bought and settled for. Then the joke was discovered. The whole thing was a put up job aud worked like a charm. Oysters are well known to be a diet of great invigorating quality. And probab- ly this is just where the cause for serious trouble arose. The jokers —at least two of them—on the sug- gestion of an "intirnate,' friend hied away to a business house and .gap- ped" on the windows to the rear and front. There was a "chief" in close proximity and "in the name of the Queen" both "tickers' were made "prisoners" and escorted to quarters termed the "coop." It was sad, very sad indeed; to recall the liberty and pleasure of the sweet short time ago. The dear ones at home! What will they sayl But -I am innoceSiti they were there though, apparently help- less in the stern minions of the law! One thousand dollars a piece 'would likely be the lowest bail that could be tempted• And the bondsmen were few and far between. Happy thought. The young man who paid for the oysters would surely come, but it was more than he conld stand. Smiling, he jocularly gave the whole thing away and sweet liberty was regained. So pleased were the "prisoners" that they "set 'em up" for the boys and retired to *dream of the dreadful prison walla. The tables were turned though. A PITTSBURG, PA., young man was to have been melded one day last week. The tailor did not have his wedding auit ready in time and the expectant groorn shot himself and sent Mtn self to where there are neither tailors nor mar- riages. A Clinton young man says he would have shot the tailor if any shooting had to be done. A BUSY SEASON.—Clinton build- ers have put in a very good season so far this year. And the work will continue well on to the New Year. The scarcity of mechanics and laboring men somewhat ham- pered contractors. A large amount of money has and will still change hands as a consequence of building operations. Capital, locally, has not been locked up in the matter of m p ro ve me n Give Us THE NEWS.—We want mews, reliable news.—If you see it in THE NEWS RECORD, it is 80. Many people know of tuattere of news, but never think 'happenings worthy of mention until they see it in print. Give us the news. THE NEWS RECORD has a reliable and able staff of correspondents, but there are sev- eral we would like to hear from now that the busy season is over. This journal is a paper for the people, and with the assistance desired it shall ever remain such. Friday night. A POINTER.— Clinton merchants ho desire to reach customers ahould be represented in the coluthns of THF NEwS RECORD. THE season for pork- packing by Petty Bros., has opened up, the first g,pork of the season having been ‘ship- Iped here from Clinton Monday last, Hensel' Observer. SCHOOL BOARD. —The High School Board met last Friday even- ing. All the old staff of teachers were resengaged and a number of accounts paused. FARM PURCHASE. —Mr. D. A. Forrester has purchased the MoAI lister farm, 127 acres, for $8,500. the latter taking the former'a town residence at $1,500. Mr. Forrester will convert the new property into a stock farm, and will eventually go into dairying. He has now a farm of over 200 acres and will make extensive building and other improvements. Mr. Mc- Allister takes possession of the town property in May next. THIS BEATS the most elaborate "bun feed" the Canadian Grits ever spread before a famishing follow- ing:—A gentleman writing from Chattanooga, Tenn., says he at- tended a great Democratic barbecue the other day, at which- 200 cattle, 500 hogs and sheep and 10,000 chickens were roasted in a huge pit constructed for the purpose. The meat was served with bread, onions and pickles, and the incorruptible negro voter of the South enjoyed the solids highly. A SHREWD LAWYER.—E. Cam- pion, Q. C., of Goderich, is a shrewd legal light. For several years lie has had the reputation of making the best of a point sod not allolving anything of importance to akip his eagle observation. There was court in Clinton last Friday and he was there. Of course he generally is. He was counsel for plaintiff in the case of McLaughlan vs. Shell. The action was to re- cover amount of note given to Thoe. McLaughlan, now deceased. The defence claimed that the note had been paid and the note burned in a particular Piece, in a stove In the Rattenbury House. The evidence was about all in, but Mr. Campion was shrewd enough to have another witness summoned almost on the spot, and proved that there was no stove in the Rattenbury in that particular plaee at that time. The point was so well taken and made, is the reason for mentioning the fact. The csee, to a certain extent, at least, hinged on this point, and the case was won. E. Campion, Q. C., is a gentleman who always works for his client, and his shrewdness in this case is worthy of more than a passing notice. Me. Joins Lesere is very busy build- ing cutters and other outfits for the winter season. The work and mister. ial are such as will sell them to those who aye in need of anything in that line. PLATE GLASS FRONTS —Clinton business houses are not behind other towns in the matter of plate glass fronts. Albert street, north, may next spring have these popular fronts placed in four stores. CONTRACTS.—Mr. Charles Wil- son has contracts for painting James Aikeme house on Mill street, Joseph Allin's house in Colborne, and hays Allen's barber shop in the McKay block ready for occupancy. THE Reformers and Grits of West Heron met in Convention at Gode- rich last Friday. M. C. Cameron was nominated to contest the Riding four years hence. The Mowat Gov. ernment was endorsed, though the annexation element kicked against the dismissal of brother Myers. Mr. Cameron agreed with the kickers and also condemned Sir. Oliver for accepting a title. M. C.C., Q. C., showed his titular as well as his actualinconsistency. He has for years been sporting an honorary title, conferred by the Crown, to the tail end of his name. SERIOUS AFFLICTION.—Joeie, the nine -year -0d daughter of Mr. John McMurray, has been suffering with croup of a serious nature for several days. The ailment on Friday bo - came so alarming that consultation of medical men weal asked. The result was that a silver tube was in- serted in the throat to allow the vital parts of the system of the little hero to survive. At trine of writ. ing she is doing well. It is to be hoped that Josie will be epared tp her parents. She is a bright, in- telligent girl, and her, death woul bo a very severe affliction to Mr. and Mrs. McMurray. Holloway are on the sick list. Mr. Wm. Young has received numerous congratulations on the ad- dition or a son to his Mr. 'r.-Calbick took a run out from Blyth on Saturday and spent Sunday in Clinton.

RESOLUTIONS ON RESPECT. -At a regu- lar meeting of Royal George Lodge' No. 59, at Pueblo, Colo., the following resolu- tions were adopted : ' WHEREAS, It has pleased the Grand Master of the Universe to call from this, world of care, trials and sufiering, our de -i ceased brother, Archie Buchanan, Resolved, That we fool most sensibly the severe loss of this honorable and use- ful man, brave and active fireman and i true and frithful friend.
