To knawt, where to go for what you want, read THE NEws• RECORD ads. WELL EARNED.—The St • Mary's Collegiate Institute Board pays $10 annually to each of the local papers for publishing the results of the monthly pupils' examinations. Mn. MOGILL, of Blyth, was in town last and this week, being called here through the serious illness and death of hie little. granddaughter, Katie Watts.

S. teachers and children are preparing for a•enleadid Christmas tree and enter• tainment, in the school room, on Tues. day, Dec. 20.. A grand time is in store. IT PAYs.—The art of advertising con, silts in getting the greatest results for the least money. L'usiuess won who have succeeded say that the news. paper oiferIthe best medium for reach. iug the public and that advertising in a respectable newspaper one issue is worth a hundred on fences and barns. — THE MAYORALTY.•MayQt'_1inher-ty. anfigA es in another column that he desires to retire from the Chief Magis. trace's chair. Several navies have been spoken of, but none that we have learned of with a certainty. Among those mentioned, as well as Mayor_ Doherty, are ex -mayors Forrester and Whitehead. TAKING HOME THE THINGS You STOLE.—The Oakville Star says:— Rev, Mr. Edge, of Acton Methodist church, has a popular lecture styled "Taking home things you borrow," which has received many complimen- tary remarks. A lecture on "Taking home things you stole" would strike some people hard and earn the grati- tude of others. SPRAYINO FRUIT TREES. —An import- ant Act, dealing with bees and the epraying of fruit trees, comes into force on January let, next. The statute provides that no person, in spraying or sprinkling fruit trees during the period, within which such trees are in full bloom, shall use, or cause to • be used, any mixture containing paris green or any other poisonous substance injur- ious to bees. THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.—As the coming Municipal elections will be held, on Monday, 2nd January, there will probably be a very large vote polled. The statue says they must take place\ on the first Monday in Jan• uary and the nomination a week be- fore. Christmas and New Year's fall on Sunday, but will doubtless be ob• served on the following Monday so that the nomination will pratically be held on Christmas and the election on New Year's day. There iv no election excitement here as yet. The necess- ary School Trustees will be elected at tbe sato time and place as the mem- bers of the Council. THE MONTREAL WITNESS. — The Montreal Witnet;s, which is to move into its own building next spring, will be by far the best equipped newspaper in a mechanical point of view in Canada. Its immense Hoe quadruple machine will be capable of turning out 60,000 eight -page or 30,000 twelve or sixteen - page papers an hour, printed complete on both sides, cut, pasted and counted in piles of fifty. This will be one-third faster than any other press in Canada. In addition, its matter will be set on the Mergenthaler Linotype, which give a new, clean face of type every is§suie, and its form will be compact and beau- tiful. The Witness, although old and reliable, is up to the frontin respect of enterpprrise, and its readers expect and are notsatisfiea;with anything but the best. The price or' the Daily Witness is $3 a year, of the Weekly Witness one dollar, and the Northern Messanper, published from the sante house, is thirty cents.

The local post office is 5 mites from there and we have our mail come by Valley City. Yours truly, . R. B. Cox. WHY NOT CLINTON 1—For years there has been talk of establishing a pork -packing house in Clinton. We fail to see why there should not be one worked successfully here. A great syndicate are about starting a pork packing establishment in London, Ontario, or. a very large eche. They have already bought land and expect to be at work inside of a few months. Thee same syndicate, whose head- quarters are London, England, own packing establishments in Denmark, Sweden and other p@tie of Europe. They also deal -very rargely in butter, cheese, &a. We are .glad to see such new enterprises slatted id Canada. Why 0 forC not make a move such a con- cern in Clinton? Here is a chance for an active Board of Trade to do some practical work. .�--,.rte....;...-,r,•..r, ..-,.r. • town lopitkt , Aon 731• th :c'rrespendexice did of raaolt Clinton y.esterday,.

Naw FEED STORE.-Meaere. Hanley & Walker have opened out in the flour and feed business on Huron Street. Both gentlemen ale well and favorably known. IN a short time Lieut. Combe will likely be gazetted as commanding officer of No. 4. Company. Capt. Todd has not yet been officially notified of the acceptance of his resignation. •ELroTR10ITY CAUSES FIRE.—The other evening there was a little blaze in Beesloy's etore, caused from hand kerchiefs being pinned to the electric wires. The damage was light and covered by insurance. THE REEYESHIP.—There are many names talker] of. Mr. A. McMurchie, we believe,ja in the field .with Mr. D. Cantelon in hot pursuit. If these two gentlemen enter into the contest it will be warm, ss both are good men and would fill the poeit°on with credit to themselves and the town. Mn. W. Downs, and his son and wife left yesterday for Bossevain, Man. Mr. Downs will go into the gents' fur- niabi.ng..!minces,- also tailors''sdpplies, in that city.

GRAND ENTERTAINiTENT.—Those who appreciate a high Mass literary enter Ia'nment will not be disappointed if they go to the town hall on Deo. 19„ Miss Agnes Knox, Toronto, Queen •of eloeu, tionists, assisted by Prof. Scott, of Wing. ham and Prof. Geo. Fox, of Hamilton, the finest violinist i11 Canada, should be sufficient guarantee that there is a rare treat in store for the people of Clinton. Dec. 19 is the date. MASONIO.—The election of officers of Clinton lodge No. 84, G. R, C., A.' F. and A. M., held on the 9th inst.' resulted as folhows: W. J. Paisley, W. M.; J. R. Hbwe, S. W.; G. LJ. Baird, J. W.; 0. S. Doan, Treas., re- elected; Thos. Smallacotnbe, Secy., re. elected; Bros. D. Robb and W. D. Fair, Auditors; Jos. Ryder, Tyler, re- elected. AFTER THE Fox.—Clinton can pro- bably boast of the ?nest enthusiastic gun aportsmen in the Province. Game that can be got within range of shot gun or rifle is always sure to bite the duet. It is quite proper that this should be time, for the Hub leads in nearly all lines. But we want to tell the little experience of two of our sports while after o fox. They were feeling fresh and nimble on foot and had experienced dogs. After a long chase the "animal" found shelter in "hia" bole. Spades were brought into active requisition and the earth bad to fly. "Here he isi" said one of the sports. A long stick was poked in the hole and the "animal" was there sure. Gradually the sports and doge and guns and "fox" worked closer to- gether. The light dawned but the "iur" did not fly. The dogs hesitat- ed,the snaps of the guns refused to clink, and the spots were powerless. Five skunks were' unearthed and the victims, it le needless to say, were the victors. "Fox" is now a much abused word among Clinton sports. To the - Ratepayers of the Town of Minton:, L.a.p Es AFT)?

Goilerick. Election of oflioere at the meeting of lodge No. 30, R. A. M. next T ueeday evening. Mr. A. Matheson,_ who was re- cently accidently iujured, has so far reebvered as to be able to resume his work in the Big Mill. • MoThe concert iu the Opera House 'on nday evening is under the direct patronage of Mayor Butler; it ex peoted to be the event of the season•, Mr. McLean beingcousidered by many to be the equal of the late Mr. Kennedy, and the county talent the bast pro- ducible. Should the Weir prove a success as regards attendance there will be a nice little sum for the poor of the various denotninatiane. Mr. Jas. A. and Miss McKay left this week for a few months sojourn in Florida. • Mr. Bert Bradley, of Toronto, paid a short visit to his relatives in Gode- rich the past week. C. P. R. agent, R.

The mayoralty contest is getting warmer, but so far there iv no opposi- tion to the reeves and councillors, al though rumour hath it that there will be a fight for nearly every position.- The osition.The coming municipal elections in the County will likely be the most keenly contested for some years, as the Poor House question will cause every vote to be polled. Although dredge No. 9 made a cut of over 17 feet from the lake into the, harbor during the summer, the fall storms filled it up, and when •naviga• tion ceased there was less than 14 feet of water at the harbor entranne. Ae two boats drawing 14 feet ran aground when entering, there can be no mistake as to the depth. The extension of :he north pier into deep water :s the only solution of the difficulty; such a scheme would do away witli the annual dredg- ing and thus while saving money in the end, make Goderich the beat har- bor on Lake Huron. "Tales from Town Topics," Great Holi- day Number (6) is just out.
