CLINTON
Never Voted That Way.
"Mr Roe, they tell me you're going
to vote Grit after this," said a certain
person to a well-known Wingham
hotel -keeper the other day.
"I don't know about that," was his
reply; "I never did yet, and I don't
know that I shall now."
"Well, aint the Inspector squeezing
you a little bit, as a sort of gentle
persuader."
"No. sir, he aint and he never did.
Politically I do just as I please, and
the government has never interfered
with me."
This is about the identical position of
most hotel -keepers.

storm, last week, considerable damage
was done. Many fence were blown

in many other parts.

_hopes are entertained for his recovery.
It has become an established
fact that the Suits made to
order and turned out at this

FARM SOLD. -The Murphy farm, of
the 7th concession of Hullett. has been
purchased by Messrs Bell and Lasham,
of Londesboro, at 84,200. Although
the barn was burned, the farm is
thought to be reasonable. These men
are pretty extensive land holders, and
know how to buy right.

A COMING EVENT. -Our little village
will be the scene of an interesting
event on Tuesday next one of those
happy occasions of which the poet had
in view when he wrote the lines,
"Two hearts with but one single thought -
Two hearts that beat as one."
The occasion will be the marriage of
Miss Mina Mellis, eldest daughter of
Mr Robt. Mellis, and Mr Henry Ivison.
Miss Mellis is particularly well-known
by reason of the fact that she has been
assistant postmaster (practically she
had charge of the office) and her in-
tercourse with the public has enabled
them to better form their opinion of
herthan they might otherwise have
done. We know we are within the
mark in saying that she stands in the
very highest esteem, while her activity
and zeal in church work has developed
her true character and strengthened
the ties of friendship formed. ' The
groom is a young man also well-known
and deservedly esteemed, and we but
voice the sentiments of the entire com-
munity in wishing them, in advance,
the largest measure of happiness.
Zurich.
NOTES. -Mr R. R. Johnston has sold
his trotting horse to Mr Thos. Berry,
of Hensall, for a very handsome sum.
Mr E. J. Hardy was in Hensall last
Monday. Rev Mr Haiit returned from
St. Jacobs last Monday, where he had
been attending the Evangelical Con-
serence; he has been stationed at Mild-
may for the next three years. Mr F.
Rummel appeared on the streets last
Monday, wearing a very broad grin,
and upon enquiry we learned that it
was a boy. The last meeting of the
Debating Society, for this term, was
held on Monday evening; after a short
debate on .'Resolved that the profligate
is a greater injury to society than the
miser," a very interesting program was
rendered, which showed that Zurich
can furnish some very good elocution-
ists if it wants to.
OBITUARY. -We are -sorry to have
this week to chronicle the death of Mr
Henry Phile, sr., who had been living
on the 14th concession for some time
past. He had not been ill any particu-
lar length of time, but was taken rather
suddenly. He was a widower, and
leaves no family, but a number of re-
latives and friends to mourn his loss.
East 'Wawanosh
GREAT WIND. -A. very destructive
wind storm passed over this district on
Thursday of lest week. Everybody
had more or less bush blown down,
from a few trres to, in some cases,
twenty acres, to say nothing offences,
while we cannot here enumerate the
different buildings damaged, as space
forbids. It has done more damage
than any storm since the township n as
settled.
PERSONAL. -Jane O. Scott returned
to London on Monday. Misses Coultes
and Garniss were visiting at Mr John
Coultes', sr., last week. Misses Ben-
gough h and Littlefair were visiting at
Mrs Fell's last
week. John Bennett
purchased one of Coleman's famous
land rollers last week. Aaron Bennett
sports a new road cart, which' accom-
modates two nicely. James Rath, sr.,
is very poorly this spring.
Is Tors LEGAI.?-We were always
of the opinion that the township offi-
cials, such as clerk, treasurer, assessor
and collector, were appointed yearly,
but we are informed by one of the
council that no treasurer bas been ap-
pointed'this' year; by the' council in
power. Perhaps our reeve, who got
such a flattering testimonial in a recent
issue of this paper, has taken upon
himself to run the to asiship� in the way
of appointing officers. We may be
wrong; however, let this matter be rec-
tified at once, and may the experience
of Morris township, re treasurership,
be a lesson to E. Wawanosh, to have
business properly attended to and
transacted with intelligence and cau-
tion.
Constance.
NOTES. -The backward weather of
the last two weeks has retarded seed-
ing operations, and as there will be a
large acreage sown this year in this
locality, farmers are very busy. The
wind storm, of last Thursday, did con-
siderable damage in this vicinity, chief.
ly in blowing down a great deal of
timber in the woods Mr John Mc-
Millan and sons will ship three car
loads of fat cattle, of their own feed-
ing, • to the old country market on
Monday next; Mr McMillan, M. P.,
goes in charge of them himself. Mr
. Papineau expects to move into his
new house in the course of a week.
Mrs Wm. Millson, cf Cleveland, 0., is
at present visiting at Mr D. Millson's.
Mr S. S. Cole will, in a few days, close
a successful season with his saw -mill.
Leeburn
NOTES. -Mr and Mrs F. B. Linfield,
of Guelph, returned home on Satur-
day, having spent a week here, the
guests of the former's parents. Carpet
rag bees seem to be quite the fashion
this pppring; last week one was held at
Mrs R. Tulford's and as the day Was
fine quite a number of the young folks
were present, and a nice social time
spent. Rev. J. Eadie, late of Saugeen,
conducted service here the last two
Sabbaths, and gave two excellent dis-
courses; next Sabbath Rev. Mr McKay,
of Toronto, is expected to conduct the
service. The terrible storm, of Thurs,
day last, has done a great deal of
damage here; some had the roof blown
off their barn,some were nearly blown
away themseves and mostly all the
rail fences were blown down.

TEMPERANCE,"-MrMetcalf has re-
turned from Toronto; where he at-
tended the special meeting of temper-
ance workers. In conversation with
your a eutsvaid from
their visit to Sir Oliver Mowat, but
that, indirectly, such meetings benefit
the temperance cause, and will eventu-
ally bring prohibition.
DEATHS. -Deaths are numerous here;
on Saturday Wm. Sims, sr., joined the
silent majority, at the grand old age of
93; the funeral, on Monday, to the.
Union cemetery, was largely attended.
On Saturday, at 6 p.m.,word was pass-
e;!. around that Mrs Wilford, sr., had
left this vale of tears for the great be-
yond; she was in her 73rd year, and
her end was peace. The funeral, on
Tuesday, was very largely attended;
services were conducted in the Metho-
dist church, of which Mrs Wilford was
a member for a number of years.
NOTES. -Mr B. Christie occupied the
pulpit in the, Methodist church, on
Sunday evening, and also addressed
,the Gospel Temperance meeting at

ly of this place, was in town for a few
days this week. T. C. McElroy and J.
Drummond were in Goderich on Wed-
nesday. Mr Chellew has purchased a

day evening. A.. McKenzie is in the
vicinity of Auburn this week, rushing
business as usual. The firemen held
their meeting on Wednesday evening.
John Ballantyne has left for Detroit.
Mr John Kelly is buildingan addition
to his hotel. We learn tat trains are
to be changed on this line in the near
future. The council meets on Monday
evening. The box social in the Metho-
dist church was a big success. The
choir in a certain church should prac-
tice up a bit before appearing in public.
OUR PROGRESSIVE BUSINESS MEN. -
Herrington & McKellar -Among those
enterprises of the town, that by reason
of their excellent facilities are deserv-
ing of extended references, is the store
of Herrington & McKellar. Six years
ago this firm started in business, which
has been very successfully carried ori
by the. -proprietors.. Their store isfully --NOTES.--Mr-Caswell; son -of -Rev.•• Mr

day morning, Sharon appointment in
the afternoon, when the sacrament of
the Lord's Supper will be administered,
and at Ebenezer at 7 p.m. As this is
unusual will the Ebenezer folks please
note the special arrangement for Sun-
day night.
ACCIDENT.- What might have been
a serious or fatal accident occurred
last Monday as Master Nelson Trewer-
tha, eldest son of Mr John Trewertha,
was engaged tying up a horse, it kick-
ed, and the wonder was it didn't kill
him, but as it was he only received a
severe bruise on the leg. Ile is able to
be around again.
OUR SICK. -Mr Wm. Ford is improv-
ing. Mrs T. C. Pickard is some better.
Mrs Ramsey received word, Monday,
that her mother, Mrs Mugford, of
Benmiller, was very ill with inflamma-
tion. Mr T. C. Pickard has been laid
up since Friday with grip, but is im-
proving.. Mr A, J. Courtice has been
confined to the house for a few days
with grip. Mr S. Phips has been un-
able to work for a week on account of
sickness. Several of Mr Thos. Potter's
children have been laid up, but are
improving. Miss Elsie Pickard is laid
up with a sore throat.
SUNDAY. -As was annonnced Dr.
Willoughby occupied the Methodist
pulpit here both morning and evening,
Sunday. Owing to the weather there
was only a fair congregation out in
the morning, but he preached a grand
sermon from the text, Isaiah 55, 10-11,
the discourse occupying one hour. In
the evening the church was crowded,
and the Dr. preached from psalms.
The high opinions formed several
weeks ago was by no means lowered,
but all seemed greatly pleased with
him.
STORM.-.Cheeat wind storm, last
Thursday, was 'the greatest wind I
have seen since I came up here," so the
oldest settlers say. Besides most all
the fences being scattered, it uprooted
or broke off many of the largest trees,
unroofed several sheds and barns, and
we saw one house where the front
door was blown open and an outlet
made through the top of the roof,
causing such a draught that the in-
mates found it necessary to nail the
furniture down in order to keep it
from Ascending._ -
assortment of almost anything man,
woman or child may need. The favor
with which this house has been receiv-
ed during its existence is a splendid
tributeto the ability of the proprietors
as merchants. It is a favorite with the
purchasing public, the eminent, fair
dealing accorded them claiming their
highest consideration, and receiving
their friendship. This equitable man-
ner dealing has inspired public con-
fiden a in the proprietors promises,
and t is never misplaced.
W. ScoTT:-The leading represen-
tative dealer in leather goods is T. W.
Scott, who bought out W. Taylor &
Sons some three years ago. He carries
and manufactures boots and shoes.
The stock carried embraces everything
desired in ladies' and men's hoots and
shoes; all made of the best material,
and quoted at lowest prices. Mr Scott
also deals in groceries, and well de-
serves the large measure of success
which he has achieved. He is consid-
ered one of Blyth's most enterprising
and progressive merchants and citizens.
Next week we will mention Jessop &
McElroy, and F. Metcalf, jeweller...
Auburn.

late, is some better. Master Willie
Govier is at present very ill with in-
flammation of the lungs; we hope he

storm, of last week, did much damage
in this vicinity; a number of roofs
were blown off barns and other build-
ings, and there has not been such de-
struction among timber for mere than
nineteen years. Mr J. McGee has
gone to Kincardine to see Mr R. Mc-
Kee, who is suffering from spinal

NOTES. -The wind storm oflast week
did considerable damage to buildings,
fences and woods; -it tile .v the smoke
stack off Mr Bower's steam mill. The
recent rains have retarded the spring
work considerably; in some places the
round is too wet to do anything with
it. The fall wheat has made little pro-
gress in growth. The weather contin-
ues cold and backward, with frosts at
night.

I8 MORE BUSINESS -LIKE. -It 1s quite
common now for farmers to have neat-
ly printed stationary, letter heads,
envelopes, etc., the same as other
business men, It does not cost any
more than to buy paper by the quire
and envelopes by the pack. You can
be supplied with anything in this line
on short notice at the Nnw ERA office.

A Branded Man
R. K. Gore, of Goderich, was a pass-
enger by the eastern train on Monday
morning, and as he restlessly paced
the platform the few minutes that the
train waited here for connections, he
was the subject of curious gaze and
comment - When bidding a friend -at -e
Goderich good-bye, he made the• re-
mark:-"I'll
e-
mark:"I'll get even with the b—a
yet, see if I don't."
Who he meant by this choice re-
mark must be left to conjecture.
TRUE LOVE. -Love or money is s.
subject upon which many have debat-
ed, and you will notice that chairmen
generally give their decision in favor
of the negative, but if we may be al-
lowed to judge the movements of acer-
tain young gaffer in this town, we are
lead to believe that there certainly
must be someting in true lode, after
all, as he preferred to work for fivs
dollars a month less, where it would be e,
convenient for him to see his ladylove,
than what he could receive elsewhere.
As you already know, still wa(i)ters run
deep, but true love runs much deepen
NOT CORRECT. -Our town cotem
says that "out of thirty-seven liquor
licenses granted in West Huron, more
than three quarters of them are held by
Conservatives." The statement is not
correct. The classified names would
be interesting reading in view of such a
bold statement. Annually the Naw
ERA makes the same assertion and is as
- often checked for misrepresenting the
facts. Will our cotem please be truth-
ful once in a yeari-News Record.
[Last year 37 hotel licenses were grant-
ed, and of this number 9 were suppos-
edly held by Reformers; this year only
35 licenses are granted, with the same
proportion.]
• CONCERT. -A concert will be given
in the town hall, on the evening of
Friday, May 5, by Miss Nello McHardy,
and her pupils, assisted by Miss Miller,
(contralto) of Toronto Conservator
Music, a member of the Ladies'
tette of that city, and Mr Jim F¢'%h®
is known as one of the best comedians
on the stage. A choice and t;elect pro-
gram will be offered. The following
speak for themselves :-
Mise Edits J. Miller is the Possessor of an ex-
cellent contralto voice of good compass and
even quality throughout, which she uses with
taste and skill. The effect of her singing is
much enhanced by a pleasing stage presende
and modest manner. -Toronto Globo.
In Miss Edith. Miller Toronto has asoloisb
of whom Toronto may well feel proud. Her
rendition of Mercadante's Ah S'estinto (Donna
Caritea) was an exquisite effort, mil displayed
a voice of splendid characteristics. -New York
