DIED IN NEw' Tonic. —The New 'York Times of recent date, contains a long account of the ' death, Ai Dr, $, A. Hartb, founder of'. the Columbian In. stitute, in that city. Deceased was a brother of Mr 0. A. Hartt, of town, and was born in Froderlcton, N. B., in 1818;, He was a specialist in the tseat- metlt of chronic diseases, and had established a lucrative practice, MOVING BACK.—Mr Thos. Gibbings has bought the house "and lot on Gib- bings St,, lately occupied by Mr Chant, and will move back to town, he having rented the farm of his brother John, adjoining town. CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION.—Tile Conservative Convention for West Huron was held at Smiths Hill, on Wednesday, most of the business done being thelelection of officers. A resolu- tion was passed acknowledging their confidence in the Dominion Govern- ment and its leader. There was a fair attendance present. PROPERTY CHANGE. — Mr Thomas Jackson,r., has purchased, from Mr Farran, the house and half -acre lot on the cornor of High and Kirk streets— just east of Mayor McTaggart's resi- dence. The location is a most de'ir- able one, and we believe it is Mr Jack- son's intention to erect a fine residence thereon for himself. FAIR DATES.—At a meeting of the Directors of the Huron Central Fair, held last Friday, it.was decided to hold the fall exhibition on the 28th and 27th of September next. As previously announced, the Lieut -Governor has promised to be present and formally open the fair. Other local societies should make a note of the above dates and fix their own so as not to clash with these. FROM A FARMER'S STANDPOINT.— On our second page will be found an excellent letter from a farmer of Gode- rich township. It has the fault of be- ing somewhat long, but this can be overlooked in so able and fair a pres- entation of the case. The writes gave us permission to omit a portion of it, but we did not avail ourselves of this privilege. If any one desires to reply to it, or criticise it, our columns are open to them, the only eondition being that we must have the writer's name. PATRONS OF INDUSTRY.—The Huron County Association of the Patrons of Industry field their annual meeting in the Council Chamber, Ulin-l-On, on Tuesday. The following officers were elected for the current year:—James Gaunt, West Wawanosh, President; A. T. Bean, Dashwood, Vice Pres.; J. H. Gardner, Ashfield, Sec. Treas.; J. Currie, East Wawanosh, Sentinel; Auditors, R.Common, and W. Wilson, West Wawanosh. Various matters relating to the farmers were discussed. The next meeting will be held in Sea - forth. FIRE.—At about 11.30 on Wednes- day night, fire broke out in the cellar of the carriage works of Mr John Leslie. The firemen and engine were on hand very soon after the alarm was given, and by doing excellent work got the flames under control in a short time. There was nothing in the cellar except coal and tan bark. The alarm was givgn by a number of Army people who were visiting here from Bayfield. The floor of the wood- makingshop was burnt -through, and a bencand quite a lot of tools were destroyed, and a lot of woodwork slightly damaged. How the fire start- ed is a mystery. Mr Leslie will not be a very heavy loser, as he very wisely kept a fair assurance on. CARNIVAL.—•The prizes competed for at the Palace Rink, Wednesday even- ing,were well worth winning; manager Sid C. Croll did not spare expense, but made the carnival enjoyable for all who attended. Under the leadership of Mr A. Holloway, the brass band en- livened the skaters with several selec- tions' of mueie. The ice was in the very best condition, and the carnival was fairly well patronized. Prizes were awarded to the following:—Gent's fancy dress. gentleman of the 18th cen- tury, R. Nimmons; page, F. Upshall. Lady's fancy dress, flower! girl, Miss Linnie Irwin; uirl of Athens, Miss N. Dowzer. Comic, bear, A. Spicer; ne- gro, D. Stewart. Children's fancy dress, prince, E. Spooner; Indian, C. Biggard. Children s comic, tramp, E. Cook; clown, H. Brewer. DEATH OF DR. WORTHINGTON,— After a comparatively short illness, Dr. Worthington passed away on Tuesday evening last, at the age of 74 years. Deceased had resided in Clin- ton for over 20 years, and in addi- tion to his medical practice, carried on a drug business. He was horn in the neighborhood of L'Orignal, Que., and when just a young man engaged in business at Morrisburg, Ontario. Leaving there he came west and locat- ed in Wroxeter, where he resided for some time, from which place he re- moved to Clinton. He wasthrice mar- ried, having 7 children by the first wife -6 girls and a boy; two of the first family are dead. Five girls and a boy were the fruits of the last mar- riage, all of whom, with his wife, sur- vive him. He was a man very gener- ally esteemed, and had served in sev- eral public capacities, and had been an office bearer in the Episcopal church. A man particularly well informed, of strong convictions, and yet very un- obtrusive; politically he was a Liberal. A member of Clinton Lodge A. F. and A.M., be has honorably filled some of the most responsible offices connected therewith. He carried an insurance on his life in connection with the Ma- \ sonic order and also had a policy with the Confederation Life. His eldest son, now in Chicago, was here to see him 'last week, but could not stay, owing to illness in his own family. The funeral takes place to -day, Friday, at, 8 o'clock under the direction of (1it1tdnn -Lodge A, r, and Ai Mi THE SALT MANUFACTURERS. -- As our readers know, the Salt Association ceased to exist on the 31st of December last. Since that time several meetings of the manufacturers have been held, not so much with the view of re-form- ing a combination, but more for the purpose of amicably settling conflict- ing interests. It has been found both impracticable and impossible to form an association of all the manufacturers on the salute lines as the old one was based upon. But, realizing the neces- sity of keeping down expenses as much as possible, an association has simply been formed among some of the mak- ers, to keep one central office, with headquarters in Clinton. There is no combination as to prices, it is simply for the purpose of facilitating busi- ness. The advantages of one office, in a case of this kind, are so apparent as scarcely to require explanation, but among them might be mentioned the saving of correspondence, the assur- ance of orders being promptly filled at the lowest market price, with a first- class article; and also the • freedom from anxiety resulting from doing business with a thoroughly" reliable institution. The Canada Salt Associa- tion,;by which name it will be known, represents works situated on the Grand Trunk Railway, the Canada Pacific Railway, and the water front, -thus enabling them to quote Salt for any point in the Dominion, and giving the choice of route to the buyer, an advan- tage they claim that nobody but them- selves are able to offer. Mr W. M. Gray, of Seaforth, is president of the new association, Mr John Ransford still remains as secretary. We under- stand that Mr Macpherson, account- ant, and Miss Freer, stenographer, al- so remain with the new organization. NOTES.—Mr John Spooner spent Sunday last in Wingham. Mr and Mrs G. A. Cook, of Toronto, formerly of town, had the misfortune to lose a three months old child, a few days since. Mr W. S. Dingman, editor of the Stratford Herald, was in town on Monday; he was on his home from Exeter, where his wife is visiting her father, Rev. W. McDonagh. Mr H.

Mr Birbeck and wife, of Manitoba, who have been vis- iting with Mr Searle for some time, left on Monday on the first stage of their return trip. Mr A. 0. Pattison now drives a dandy cutter, from the workshop of Mr Fred Rumball. Miss Lena Fisher, of Denver, who has been visiting here for a short time, leaves this week to visit friends in the east. The morning train South on t e L., Ih.— & B ;" got stucTi in a snow drift, and had to be shovelled out before it reached here.

Smitnson has been laid up for several days by a nasty fall; answering a door call she turned suddenly and fell. The oldest inhabitant and the ground hog .nust be beginning to think that this something of a winter after all. Fri- day last was one of the coldest and roughest days experienced this winter, and no one ventured out unless their business absolutely required it. Pork still maintains a firm price. Miss Ethel Galloway, of Seaforth, was visiting friends in town this week. R. Holmes is this week attending the annual meeting of the Canadian Press Associa- tion, at Toronto, of which he is a mem- ber of the Executive. Mr G. D.

Mr Albert Holloway, of the Dry Goods Palace, goes to New York on Saturday, to take a course at the leading Cutter's School. Mr Jas. Howson, jr., is con- fined to the house by having his foot badly jammed between a couple of logs. It's plain as the frozen nose on a man's face, that the backbone of winter is not broken; it fact it doesn't appear to be even warped or bent, as yet, not- withstanding the fact that it sprang a leak on Monday. Sleighing and social parties are the order of the night just now. Quite a bit of pork has been shipped from here this season; it might have been better had it been converted into bacon here. Mr Geo. Newton, of Wingham, was a caller at the NEW ERA office Tuesday; he has done well since his removal there.. Mr J. Croll and wife left on Thursday, on a month's visit to Galt. Mrs E.

Mr Smith, if you' will excuse me for a moment I would like to say a word or two about1the intrinsic value of this line of Pants we sell at 82 and 83; you will readily understand how, that when a man has a good thing he is liable to be somewhat assertive as to the article's real value; well, that is the case with us. We claim to have, and know so far as we have seen that no firm has ever offered a line of Pants to equal this for genuine value. In the first place the goods are all wool. We cut and make the line ourselves and the trimming and make is of a superior grade. This year we make a larger quantity than ever, being something that is self selling. Mr Smith—Well I'll try a pair of the $2 line. Mr Smith did what hundreds have done before, and the result in his case, like all others, will be that of buying an- other of the same line when in want of a pair of pants Tor everyday use.

Some give a bargain day each week, others once a month, but we have decided to give 30 Continuous Bargain Days. This giving occasional bargain days we consider is of very little use to the publio generally. Parties doming a distance and requiring different lines of goods; expecting to get them at big reductions, find that they are generally mis- taken, as only odds and ends, here and there a piece of goods reduced, other goods at full price, very likely the goods they want, at usual prides, no reduction whatever; they are dissatisfied and go away disgusted with business generally. Now what we propose to do is to give the publio the benefittof what profit there may be on our goods and the �V Bole Stock at Cost TO CLEAR OUT AND MAKE ROOM FOR merOur Large Spring Purchase Thousands of Dollars worth to go. They must be sold and prices must do it It is not now what we shall make but what will the loss be. Profit not to be considered in this sale—the only object is to clear out the stook. We quote no prices, neither do we mark goods away up to double price and then make sweeping reduotions, (on paper) but we say get prices from others and then come and see our stock before buying. We mean business every time. Dress Goods, Millinery, Hats, Caps, Furs, Carpets and Staples at Cost. Tweeds, Furnishings, Clothing—Rock Bottom. , __- 2,50O Bairs BOOTS and SHOES at Less titan Cost.
