FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1893
• Another Volume
With this issue the NEW ERA enters
on its 28th volume, and we desire to
takeadvantage of the occasion to thank
the business men of Clinton, and the
public generally, for the generous sup-
port that has been given us. While
holding our own opinions on all ques-
tions, we recognize the rights of others
to hold different ones, and have en-
deitvored to present ours with fairness
but without the dogmatism and parti-
zan bitterness that is too often the case
with newspapers. Our chief aim has
been to issue a LOCAL NEWS PAPER that
would.be creditable to the wide-awake
town in which it is issued, and be a
welcome visitor to the many homes
into which it finds its way every week.
That we have been successful in this is
proven by the fact that the NEw ERA
enjoys the confidence of the public to
a larger extent than ever before, as its
circulation, we have reason to believe,
is surpassed by only one other paper in
the county -the Expositor. We shall
endeavor more and more to'merit the
support given us, and appreciate fully
the kindnesses that the NEWERA is the
.recipient of.
For the first time in several years
the Liberals have a majority at the
County Council.
The towns all give a majority for the
House of Industry, but the townships,
with two or three exceptions, went the
other way, and the matter will likely
be left in abeyance.
It is altogether likely that Mr. Jos.
Griffin, the stalwart reeve of Ashfield,
will be an aspirant for the Warden's
chair this year. He is deserving of the
honor, will fill the position with credit,
and it would be a fitting acknowledg-
ment of his lengthened services in the
County Council to place him there.
Additional Local News.

TEACHER'S INSTITUTE -EAST HURON
-The next meeting of this Institute
will be held at Wingham. March 2nd•
and 3rd. The new director of Teach-
er's Institutes, Mr Wm. Houston, will
give several addresses on the teaching
of English and allied subjects in the
public schools. 'These addresses will
bepractical in their nature and be very
helpful to teachers. In the evening he
will give an artistic analysis of a short
"poem such as Kingsley's "Three Fish -
los" or Tennyson's "Break! Break!"
Other addresses on Educational sub-
' jects will he given by the leading
teachers of East Huron. As these in-

year it is to be hoped that all the teach-
ers of the inspectorate and many of
the school trustees will be present.
Mr Houston is a brother of the excel-
lent Principal of the Clinton Collegiate
Institute.

SOCIAL. -The teachers and officers
of Willis Church Sabbath School, with
a few of their friends, spent a social
evening together, in the lecture room
of the church, on Thursday, December
29th. The principal object of the meet-
ing was to receive the report of the
delegates from the school to the Pro-
vincial S.S. convention. The company
sat down first to a well spread table,
and devoted an hour to the festive
board, in pleasant, social intercourse
and in attending to the wants of the
inner man. After supper an interest-
ing program was presented -after sing-
ing a hymn, Miss Coats read her report
of the proceedings of the last Provin-
cial S.S. convention, giving a racy and
graphic description of the meetings,
and good account of the different ad-
dresses delivered; Mr W. R. Lough
then delivered a short address, taking
a retrospect and prospect of Sabbath
School work, during which he gave
many valuable suggestions and hints
as to the conduct of a Sabbath school
and the classes. Mrs W. Coats,
next sang a solo, after which ass Mc..
Garva read-her--`trero1 as delegate,
giving a short statement of her im-
pressions from some of the addresses

at the pleasant time which they had
enjoyed.

and have taken it for years, and would
not be without it for anything. It is
one of the. hest papers in the county."
Cnuscu.-Rev S. Sellery preached a
sermon last Sunday evening that no
doubt touched the hearts of many.
He took. for his subject, "This year
thou shalt die." He held thelarge
audience spell bound in picturing the
life of our Saviour. He impressed on
the minds of the people the, "good they
might be doing, while te days are
going by." The reverend gentleman's
efforts on this occasion were not in
vain, as was seen by the large number
who were affected by his eloquent ser-
mon.

shire was elected deputy reeve by a

THE .RUBY Curiae -In justice to the
public, a wronged citizen,_ and.. th
- t•imid-ity of tile'-pres's F the town in
publishing the facts or commenting on
. the case, the NEW ERA man, in a
former issue, made plain to the public
the injury and unfairness in the un-
called for investigation of the death of
the child, Lizzie Ruby; we, in the in-
terests of a child that is fair to all, had
in ourepossession evidence that a great
wrong had been done the medical pro-
fession, the reputation of a doctor and
respected citizen questioned, pending
the exculpation. As to the affair being
a complete farce, that has been proven
beyond a doubt. Our article, headed
"Nothing in it," which appeared some
weeks ago, apparently caused certain
Fattiparties to feel uneasy. There appeared
es
the last issue of this paper a com-
munication, signed by J. A. Meldrum,
Wingham, who claims a slur had been
cast on his noble profession, himself
among the number. We would say in
regard to this letter that the NEw
ERA man bas been sent to Wingham
to furnish our many re'tders the news
-news to interest the public, dealing
honestly and fairly with all. We pub-
lished the particulars of the above
case, and claim we were justified in so
doing. The slang phrases and ungen-
tlemanly language which Dr.Meldrum's
letter contained, was in our openion,
unbecoming agentleman and a phy-
sician.
DR. MELDRUM'S LETTER. -He claims
the article in reference to the deceased
Ruby child, as a news item,was simply
rubbish, but as an advertisement
might be considered first class. What
does his opinion amount to? Nothing.
As to being an advertisement, we
would say, the article was not written
to advertise, but to show the Ruby
case in its proper light. Dr. Meldrum
confesses to having talked too much,
when he'says, "What I said I meant."
No slur was cast on any one. We en-
deavored to give the facts, and 'the
facts alone. We think Dr. Meldrum
will not deny that he visited the child
behind Dr. Chisholm's back, that the
report was current that Lizzie Ruby
was poisoned, that the investigation
was instituted on the strength of the
same rumor, that the post mortem
was performed behind Dr. Chisholm's
back. that sixteen of the most respect-
ed and level headed men in Wingham,
after hearing the evidence, brought in
a unanimous verdict, exonerating Dr.
Chisholm from all blame. We think
Dr. Meldrum can yet learn in regard

ed and out-of-town doctor, he said. "I
think it is a case for the Ontario Medi-
cal Council to consider, and that there
is a possibility of some one losing their
license to practise_

Gospellflymns No 5 Sc 6 Combined
By IRA D. SANHEY, JAS. MCGRANAHAN,
• GEO. C. STEBBINS.
The well-established popularity of GOSPEL
HYMNS No. 5, and the constantly increasing
appreciation of GOSPEL HYMNS No. 6, has cre-
ated a very general desire to have these books
combined in one volume. In deference to this
demand, the publishers have prepared an edi-
tion of the two books, in which all duplicates
have been omitted and a volume of 438 pieces
has been made, complete in itself numbered in
consecutive order, with new Topical Index, in-
dicating the particular phase of religions
thought and work expressed in each hymn:
The publishers confidently assort that it le not
possible to secure in any other hymn book such
a largo number of new, useful and popular
songs, a very large proportion of which can only
be found in this volume.
