The low prices ruling during the height of the season rendered it im• possibile for buyers to more than clear themselves, they say. TALK ABOUT INDUSTRIES. -By refer- ring to our town couucil report it will be learned that there is some talk of a new industry for Clinton. It is of the class that will not conflict with any other here. And it ie of the class that ehould pay the manufacturer who is _fortunate enough to locate in Clinton. Mr. R.,L•wiu's action in this matter should meet with sincere commenda- tion and the united approval and sup port of our people.._ If other citizens would display the same interest as has been shown in this particular instance we have no fear but that the centrally located town of Cliuton will iu a few years become the ind•astriul and distri- buting point for Ontario West. In these columns for several months we have repeatedly referred to the several means of forging the town ahead. Mr. Irwin is doing the work of a Board of Trade. All honor to him for it. He would be a good man just at this time to see what could bo done towards forming such a board. Clinton' can supportspch an institution. There is plenty of work for it and the right stamp of men, such as, Mr. Irwin, can accomplish good. THE NEws•REconD has talked for some weeks about the dairying interests, but our, people and and our public men and country friends seotn inactive while thousands and thousands of dollars are uuder their eyes and within their grasp. Surely_ i t_ie.mat 'possible.that_no,-action is taken because a little labor wotild be entailed. Or is it because they have not the courage of their convictions. In our address a few weeks .ago we laid down a platform of activity on thia line, The man who seeks public honors should be progressive. Our people desire to forge ahead. We are doing well, but the town eau do better. The other day a public meeting was, held in Mitchell for the purpose of furthering the interests • nd cheese making: Merobere of Pat a• went and prominent men in the busi- ness gave testimony and showed cou• elusively what a great advantage,.finan- cially, must accrue to the farmers and town of Mitchell. There is room in Clinton for a canning factory. Frnite of various kinds are grown in this sec• tion in abundance and such an institu- tion with a reasonable amount of capi- tal should pay here. A company in Strathroy put out thie year no less than 318,000 cans of preserved fruit, valued at $24,000. Clinton might just as well be in the exinr of progression,, for the market for this class of goods is almost inexhaustible. The furniture indur•try is still another that there is an opening for in Clinton. The raw ma- terial is in abundance and close at hand. A company for the manufacture of furniture has just been formed at Aylmer with a capital of $20,000. And thus the advancement of towns less fovored than Clinton goes on at a rapid pace. Put your shoulders to the wheel,' people of Clinton. Another important industry which THE News - RECORD has many times called•atten- tion' to is a pork packing factory. Those who read Hon. John Cterling'a letter in last week's issue will be aware of the fact that Canadian hams com- mand a much higher price than any other in Britain. The market is limit. lees. Pork is bought in Clinton and shipped away to factories to go through the curing process and months alter finds a sale where it was produced and fireteold. poen this mode of doingbusi- ness not st ike the citizene,businese and pubic meld of Clinton as being redicu- lousd We think it ehould. Hon. J. C. Patterson, M.P. for West Huron, we think; would favor industries of this kind and do all he could to estab- lish such or anything else for the bene- fit of the community and the whole people. Our town's public men 'should be the first to move and show that they are interested in the town's welfare. The men chosen for 1893 ehould be pledged to work on these Hues. To our mind, one of the moat important duties of a public man is to as forge the town ahead so long s the investment is pretty sure to be a pay ing one for the mallow and the town. OUR CANADIAN COUNTRY. -Mr. John McMillan, M. P., in concluding a series of eight tottersto the Expositor, on his 'Canadian Northwest travels, says :-"I think the capabilities of the great Northwest are not fully brought out by the system of farming followed. There is too much land under crop and the soil is not sufficiently cultivated. Wherever 'summer fallowing is follow. ed, the mope seem to do the hest, but there is often two and three crops raised with plowing onee,_.the_u__. burn ing the stubble toad harrowing. I would say to all who are in comfortable circumstances in Ontario, remain where you are ; but to young men who intend to follow farming, or to•any one with a family of boys, the Northwest offers advantages for getting land that cannot .,h�n P =4 t . portions oF•OntArio"' • Ul;,.� er..

Qur mission is a public one and we want to snake known to the world what intrests you if it is a matter of news. Our mission is not to create strife or to get"even" with the "other fellow."

Rider were out• shooting, and a mile or so down the London Road, on farm of Thos. Moore, spied a porcupine. The animal was up a hemlock tree. Gone were in readiness and brought into active re- quisition. Mr. Rider exhausted all the shell and shot in his possession, but failed in forcibly inducing, the animal to bite the dust. Mr. Hovey then turned in and took a hand. After eleven shote bad been discharged the porcupine came to the ground. The animal bas been on view at Couch & Ford's butcher shop since last Thurs. day. It is about the size of a low set dog, has a mastiff breast and powerful shoulders, with scanty hind -quarters+. Its back, particularly, is full of quills. In color, blank, pointed nose and four long, sharp teeth, to match in lower end tipper jaws. The animal is rather a rarity in this section, and one that might make it both interesting and troublesome for a man without the a neces_- eery warfare protection. D •DRAUGHT HORSE MEN .-A meeting offs the council of the Dominion Draught Morse Breeders' Society was held at the Rattenbury House, Clinton, on Tuesday last, President John McMillan, M. P., in the chair. A considerable amount of routine busi• nese was transacted, and matters die - cussed in preparation for the annual meeting of the Society whioh will be held in Clinton on Wednesday next, 21st inst. The reports show a falling off in the business transacted during the year, owing to the prevailing dullness in horse breeding and Belling, but the society remains in a sound financial condition and has about 350 entries for its third volume, and a bal ance in the bank of over $1600. The present regulations of the U. S. Treas. ury Department do not recognize for free entry at the customs any Canadian horse registers, requiring thaL4he an- imals be entered in the American Stud book to secure free entry. The Do. minion Society however does not re- cognize free customs entry ae the prime object of regiatration, and will continue to do business at the old stand and en- courage farmers and breeders- to breed systematically and preserve an official record of their anisnals.e •Star. a• Town Topics: Rs4n.'iitiot.--„No part. of Tart N nave ReoQu» le More worthy: of being read just, now than its. advertiseluentsi Ch tp'p has conte "unusually; bright advextipors, Their advertiaements aro spray a d to the point..

INDUSTRIES. Mr. Richard Irwin addressed the Council on the matter of eatabliehing rooro industries in Cliuton, of the class that would not conflict with those al- ready located here. He had written a firm or company with $50,000 capital, that purposed locating in some town in Ontario for tho manufacture of steel windmills, iron pumps, wooden tanks, &c. Clinton was well aQlapted and such an industry would no do ibt.suc- ceed well here. He asked the Council to consider the 'natter as to what action' would be best to take. Kennedy -I understand the com- pany desire au expression from various towns and that they will likely locate where the greatest inducement is offer- ed. Andrews was of the opinion •that it was a little lata in the season to take definite, action, as the new Council would not bo bound by the nctione of the present council. However, he was, willing to„do what he could to have new industries locate here. Plummer thought we should do the work for .the new Council and make next year's Wolk easier for their'. Doan would like to have the com- pany or a representative come hero and hold a conference. McKenzie was of the opinion that the manager ehould be asked to Como here so that wo might ascertain some- thing definite. - Armatrung-thaugbt-'w' *outd-i nti -- vesti ate with all possible haste and if'there was anything in it well and good. Mayor Doherty' expressed himself favorably and urged that step be taken at once and .ascertain the demands, if any, of the company. Mr. Irwin was instructed. by Council and consented to further correspond. Couucil then adjourned. [CONTRIBUTED.] UTED. ] DIED -In Clint on, Dec. 9th, 1892, Katie, only and mill loved daug hter of Fred. W. and Lavin% watts, aged E years, 4 months. After a short illness and intense suf- fering dear little Katie is at rest. She was loved by all who knew her and almost idolized by the family, but Death spared not though loved ever so much. Disease soon did its work and her spirit went to God who gave it. She bore her sufferings with the great- est patience, and gave many a sweet, comforting smile to those around her little cot. The parents have the heart- felt smypathy of their many friends in their terrible bereavement. The funer- al, which took place on Monday, 12th, was attended by a large number of sorrowing friends. The service was conducted by Rev. Mr. Fairlie, who spoke most feelingly -from the text "My beloved is gone down into his garden to gather lilies." She to gone but not forever, Shell! only gone before; We shall meet our little darling On that peaceful happy shore. Though we weep in bjtter sorrow, Though our hearts are crushed with pain, We have lost her for the present, But our loss is heaven's gain. She is resting how with Jesus Free from earth and all its fltre; So we'll watt and bear the burden Till we join her over there. '••Of. """°' McKillop Dec. 17th, 1892.
