REFRIGERATORS. -- Mr John Day-
ment is into the manufacture of re-
frigerators, having put one in for
Wheatley & Finch, and has contract-
ed for some -others here and Blyth.
BACK- SOON.—We are in receipt of a
letter from Mr M. C. Cameron, who is
at present in Florida, stating that he
will be back by the 1st of March. He
states that it is a good deal pleasanter
down there with the thermometer at
75 0 than it is here with the blizzards,
but his business engagements call him
back, and he will be in his office after
the 1st prox.
IMPROVEMENTS.—The fourth room
of the Collegiate Institute has just
been furbished with, handsome and
convenient double desks, with separ-
ate automatic seats, purchased from
the Globe Furniture Co. The old desks
have been used to fill vacant places in
the third room and the science room,
where the accommodation was insuf-
ficient for the increased number of
pupils.

IN CONVENTION,—Last week Mr Jas.
Snell and Mr W. J. Biggins, for this
locality, attended the meeting of the
Ontario Shorthorn Breeders' Associa-
tion that was held in the city of Toron-
to, Mr Biggins being elected one of the
Vice -Presidents. The Central Farmers'
Institute meeting, held in the same
city, was attended by Mr Jno Kitchen,
Stanley; Mr J. S. Henderson, Seaforth;
1Mr Chas. Washington, Auburn; and
Mr T. Strachan, Brussels.
TEMPERANCE.—The reunion held in
the temperance lodge, last Thursday
evening, was quite a success, but not
so great as it would have been, had
the night been less stormy. Four sep-
arate lodges had intimated their inten-
tion of being present, but only one
succeeded, and this was Seaforth; all
the rest were storm -stayed. An inte-
resting -program was rendered, but
there was enough provisions left over
to feed a .township.
PROGRESSING,—Mr Harry Evans, _of
St. Louis, (brother of Mr Frank Ev-
ans, Clinton) has recently been appoint-
ed Superintendent of an Insurance 1
Ce., with headquarters at Chattanoga,
-Tenn., at a lucrative salary. Mr Hardy
Evans, another brother, has been ap-
pointed assistant superintendent. e
Chattanoga will be the objective point e
of Mr H. Cole and family, who leave c
here in a few days. Mr Will Cole,
late with the Salt Association, goes at
the same time; he will be much missed r
in town, especially in social circles.

Z. of the Royal Arch Masons, who had
been one of the deceased's most in-
timate friends, sent a message express-
ing his deep regret at being unavoid-
ably absent. The Masonic services,
both at the house and the grave, were
very impressive, and were conducted
by Rev. Mr Fairlie, assisted by Rev.
Mr Hodgins, of Seaforth.
NOTES.—Mr Will Coats was th
week at Goderich, in the performanc
of his duties as County Auditor. M
R. Johnston, who . has been manage

step -son of Mr H. Walker has bee
seriously ill for several days, but i
now out of danger. Miss Copp, wh
had attained the age of 80 years, die
at the residence of Mr Thos. Shipley
on Sunday; she broke her leg recently
from the effects of which she never re
covered, and which probably hastene
her death. Mr W. T, Carter (son o
Mrs Carter, of town) has been promo
ed to a foremanship in the Goderic
Organ Co.; he is a good energetic work
man and deserves this recognition; h
is a graduate of the Doherty. Orga
Co., and the excellent training he go
there qualifies him for his • advance
ment. Mr John Shobbrook expects t
move to his property on the graye
road early in May. Mr W. Oantelon
formerly of town, but late of Wing
ham, has taken a situation he forme
ly held in Mitchell. Mr G. F. Erne
son was in Toronto last week lookin
up the prospects of the bicycle an
piano business for this summer; h
has been appointed sole agent for th
Comet Bicycle, and brought hom
a road scorcher with him. M
Thos. Moon, formerly in the Expres
office here, is now manager for Mr A
Wood, of the firm of Frost & Wood
Smith's Falls. Mr J. J. Simpson, o
Toronto, was this week visiting hi

gan Co. Messrs P. Cantelon, jr., and
J. McGarva are this week auditing the
town books and accounts. Dr. Turn-
bull expects to return home from New
York, and resume his practise here,
early in March. On Monday night a
man who was evidently not able to
ook after himself, was taken in charge
by Mr Welsh, and placed in the lock-
up; on his person was found a bottle
of mythalated spirits, 'which he had
vidently been imbibing; he was an
ntire stranger, and there being no
harge against him, he was allowed to
go next • morning. While Mr J. B.
Rumball is yet very far from complete
estoration to health, • we are pleased
to know that he is able to sit up.
ome idea/ of the quantity of paper
hat goes into the production of news-
apers may be gathered from the fact
hat the other day the New ERA gave
n order for over five tons of white
paper; this amount will not be used up
in a week, however. Mr R. J. Mac-
donald, of the firm of Jackson Bros.,
left on Monday afternoon for New
York, where he takes a course in a
cutting school, in addition to looking
up the latest fashions in clothing.
The directors of the Mechanics' In-
stitute haye increased the salary of
Librarian Scott; he deserved it, for
there is not a Librarian in the Pro-
vince who is more faithful in the dis-
charge of his duties. Mr Thos. Boles,
of Deleware, is organizing a Home
Circle at Brussels. Miss Susie Steven-
son, Detroit, has been on a visit to Mrs
Seale. Mr. John Bean is in Toronto,

Libhie Gauley has sufficiently recover-
ed from her illness to be able to get out,
but ber sister Lillie is now laid up with
congestion of the lungs. Miss Tena
Cooper is at'present looking after the
interests of Cooper & Co., in Brussels.
Mr. W. S. Harland attended the funer-
al of his uncle, at Hanover, last week.
The Home Circle will meet on Tuesday
evening next, 21st inst.; a large attend-
ance is particularly desired, as some
matters of special interest will come up.
Mr. Eph Butt is making arrangements
to set up his saw mill on his own farm,
on the base line. While a funeral ser-
vice was in progress at the Cemetery,
on Wednesday, no less than three
horses made attempts to run away,and
one succeeded to such an extent that
it smashed the dashboard of the cutter.
Mr. Stevens, assessor, commenced his
duties this week. Gilroy & Wiseman
are making some internal improve-
ments in their store. Taylor & Sons
are trying the experiment of doing
away with counters; the store certainly
looks much neater without them. —
We understand that Dr. Gibson has
been offered a lucrative position on the
medical staff of the C.P.R. Those who
wish to invest in C.P.R. lands will find
a map at Cooper & Co's, and Mr.Hyde,
agent at OxboW, will. look after them.
Rev. H. E. Hill, of Grand Valley, was
in town this week, having been called
over by the death of •his cousin, Mr
Thos. Hill. Times must be pretty
ugh in some parts of Manitoba, for
r Robert Sprung! formerly of Hul-
tt, writes that "tunes are very hard
ere, as we are being froze out every
ear." At Hensall, one evening last
week, Messrs A. May and W. Doherty,
., were prize winners in a skating
ntest Mr May winning a silver cup.

SURGICAL—Mrs Ryan, of the Nile,
(a r"elative of Mrs David Cook) under-
went an operation here, on Monday,
for the removal of a tumor. Dr Gunn
had the case in charge, and was assist-
ed by four other medical men. This
particular operation was regarded as
one of the most critical and danger-
ous of the kind performed in recent
years, the trouble having progressed so
far as to preclude much hope for re-
covery. Although the patient has had
the very best of treatment and care,
she was unable to sustain the shock to
her system, and died yesterday (Thurs-
day) morning.
IN MINNESOTA. -Mr Walter Cook,
formerly of Clinton, but who has been
living in Sabin, Minnesota, writes as
follows concerning his present position:
"We are all enjoying good heal*.Last summer we built a new house,
and now we are , living in it. • The
crops, last year, were not good, but we
expect to have better crops this year.
We intend to sow 200 acres, have 150
acres pldwed, have 180 acres, and
Walter, my son, has 80 acres adjoining
mine, his is all under cultivation, but
only 95 of mine, so we rent some from
a neighbor. We are having a very
cold winter."
A FINE INSTRUMENT.—There is a
certain delicacy about praising that
which happens to belong to the one who
is doing the `complimentary," and we
are very reluctant to deviate from the
rule, but we feel that III' justice to an
article which is really meritorious, an
exception may be made. For several
days a handsome Cabinet Grand
Gerard-Heintzman Piano has been on
exhibition in the show -room of the
agent; Mr• -G. F. Emerson, and while
there it was much admired by musi-
cians and others in a position to judge
of the merit and value of an instru-
ment of this kind, who stated that itwo s
not simply beautiful in construction
and with wonderful power and sweet-
ness of tone, but that it reflected much
credit on the Canadian manufacturer.
Mr Emerson has placed this piano in
the home of Mr Robt. Holmes.
A MONTHLY FAIR.—The committee
that was appointed by the town coun-
cil, to look after the matter of a Month-
ly Fair, have lost no time in trying to
get the matter into practical shape.
After corresponding with a number of
buyers in 'various parts of the Pro-
vince, who have consented to be pre-
sent and give their support and assn- to
tante. The committee has decided to - M
hold the first fair of the series on the Ile
1st of March next, on the market h
square. Farmers, who have stock to y
sell, will find this an excellent oppor-
tunity df doing so, and as no fees or ' jr
expenses are incurred, it is to be hoped co
they' Will generally avail themselves of
the opportunity. Let the first Fair be ti
success,- and there will he little or no da
ifficnity in keeping it up regularly,
fid it will be to the mutual benefit of D

Spring
Stock
Our store is fast putting on its spring ap.
pearance. Every day, fresh, bright new
goods are coming in and taking the
places of heavy winter stuffs on counters and shelves.
We always endeavor to have one season's stock better
in every way than that of any previous season. This
spring stock is in keeping with that aim. We never
had a nicer assortment or better values to offer you.
THE .
CASH
SYSTEM
You no doubt remember when we an-
nounced our intention of making the
change we told you we could make a
difference of from 10 to 15 per cent in our prices sell-
ing for Cash or Produce only. On Feb. 1st, we chang-
ed the prices of the goods then in stock, and since
then, in marking new goods our promise has been kept.
constantly before us and the goods have gone into
stock ticketed at lower figures than they would or
could if we were selling on time. While talking about
prices we want to impress this fact on your mind, in
making lower prices, quality, has in no case been sac-
rificed to lowness of price.

CASH vs. CREDIT
There is much being said and done about business. The
question is whether it is better to do a strictly cash
business, or as usually done, Cash and Credit. Some
are taking the stand for cash or ready pay only. We
are not doing so, as We consider it better not, as there
are times when the best customers have not cash to
pay, as is frequently the case with farmers, as their re-
turns come in the fall. We are prepared to furnish
customers with all the goods they may require for
Cash or Credit. We will allow six per cent off for
Cash, as money is worth that percentage in business,
and we are prepared to sell as cheap as any one in the
trade. We will not be undersold byanyone.;;
