Conducted the Services in connection
with the Salvation Army, on Monday
night, During the services Mr S. Hill
showed hieenerosity and goodwill by
presenting them with $65.
MAsoxtc.—On Friday last the follow-
ing members of the Masonic Lodge
here attended the funeral of Mr Som-
erville, Seaforth:—Messrs Paisley, Ken-
nedy, Fairlie, Sm th, Doan, Downs,
Ryder, Holloway, 13ruce, Todd, Spoon-
er and McDonagh.
CORRECTION.—In our reference' last
week to Miss Ross, of Brucefield, we
should have given Mr Geo. Baird, of
Stanley, credit for her tuition, she be-
ing a pupil ofhis school. Mr Baird
has the honor of sending forth ,a very
large number of pupils who have dis-
tinguished themselves in after life.
PRIZE WINNERS.—The closing exer-
cises of the Ontario Agricultural Col-
lege took place on Thursday last. The
highest prize, a, gold medal for general
proficiency, came to Huron, being won
by Mr James Atkinson, of McKillop.
Mr Robt. McMurdie, jr., of Kippen won
the veterinary science prize in the se-
cond year.
VILLAINOUS.—Last week a report
was in general circulation involving
the good name of a married man and
woman, which had not a particle of
foundation, and could not possibly be
true., Whoever originated the report
was guilty of villainy of the meanest
kind, and evidentally h'td no regard
whatever for the feelings of the fatal -
lies noncerned.
FIN WORK.—The new house of Mr.
Thomas Jackson, jr., is being rapidly
pushed forward. The material used is
a very fine imported red brick, much
more expensive than the ordinay
brick, because they are "hand finished,'
and Mr R. Heywood is making a par-
ticularly fine and delicate job of laying
them. The mason work is unusually
well done, and calls for good judg-
ment and mechanical skill.
PIPE . ORGAN.—The pipe organ for
Rattenbury- St. -Methodist Church'
arrived here last week, and is being
put in place; the choir loft will be ex-
tended out into the church five feet
more to accommodate it. The manu-
facturer. claims that it is a superb in-
strument in every respect, and it will
be ready for use by the 16th inst., on
which occasion it will be used in the i
church services. The intention is to
Iiawe.a•graiid Organ Recital the follow-
ing evening, for which first class mu-
sical talent will be secured. This will
be the,eveat of the season, and people
should make their arrangements so as
to take it in.
TRIFLES.—In the sidewalk leading to
the Collegiate, but near Ontario street,
is a loose plank liable to trip up who-
ever steps on it, and to our personal
knowledge it has been in about the
same condition for four weeks. The
late tains have not simply settled the
dust, but have helped vegetation mate-
rially. Pastures were never betterthanthey are now. `Hayin is in fall blast.
The strawberry crop has been an im-
mense one, thousands of boxes being
' sold in town. A farmer who went up
north to buy stockers, says he found
owners holding two-year olds at $35.
Blyth or Exeter will be the obje tive
point of a good many people on '
Wed-
nesday next, the battle of the Boyne
being celebrated in these places. A
party who wanted to get farm hands,
says that men are asking $40 a month
and board.
DEATH OF MR JUNOR.—After a pro-
longed illness, Mr John Junor passed
away on Friday morning last. His
ailment was consumption, and al-
though at the outset it was hoped that
his life might be prolonged, the best of
care and attention failed to give per-
manent relief. Deceased was well
known in town, having resided here
for a considerable length of time, and
enjoyed the esteem and good will of
all. He displayed the utmost resigna-
tion to the Divine will, and confidence
in his love and power. His wife, (sister
of Mr John Torrance, reeve of Stanley)
and one daughter survive him. Ile
was a member of the Canadian Order
of Foresters and Sons of Scotland;
both of these orders marched at, his
funeral on Sunda afternoon, which
was largely attended.
WELL DONE.—At Victoria, B. C.,
last week, Mr W. Grigg, a former
member of the Clinton Gun Club,
covered himself with glory and honor,
by winning the highest prize~of the
list, "The Globe trophy." This is
discribed by a Victoria paper, as a
"gold trophy, with diamond settin ,
prese;ited by the Morning Globe, Ta-
coma, and valued at$350.' There Were
a large number of contestants for the
prize, and in the match ten tied were
made. Speaking of this, the Victoria
Colonist says: -"Tho next this on the
day's program was the shooting off of
the ties made on Thursday in the Globe
trophy contest, The result was that
Mr W. Grigg, of Victoria, headed the
list after it close fight, and the 'hand-
some trophy remains in Victoria till
next year, Mr. Grigg's average was •
wonderfully good, hisscore through- w
out thematch being a total of thirty-
nine Mit Of forty 'birds." There- were
still three ties, and when these had
been shot off, Mr Grigg stood at the .o
head of the net. His old, friend' lune
real pleased that he" a ltee his
success, p his old
reputation.. 8 '
T1I1a Is'r o,`s' Jur,Y.—There being no
celebration here, a good ninny plrivate
ppicnics were organized, seine at $ay
#geld, Ooderich, and other attractive
spots. Over three hundred tickets
were sold here forhtoderich, and nearly
four h1rt1d1'ed at Seaforth for,, the same,
place. A pot Many people went off

DEATH Es* voro . lfi 'CLThTONIAN....
James A. Moore, agent of the Fast
Freight Pine, ' Buffalo,. died Wednes-
day morning athis home, 169 North
Pearl street, Buffalo, Mr Moore fell
downstairs on Tuesday and received
severe injuries, which resulted in death.
He leaves a wife and family of young
children. He was harried to Mies
Mary Cowan, of Princeton, sister of
Col. Cowan, of Woodstock. Several
'Years ago he was station agent at
Clinton for the Buffalo and Lake Huron
before the Grand Trunk took_ pposses-
sion of the Great Western. Ile was
very popular when located here.
ENTRANCE ExAhrINATIONs.-8S0 can-
didates wrote on the recent Entrance
Examination in East Huron; namely
96 at Seaforth, 106 at Clinton, 77 at
Wingharmi`i,``'62'at Brussels, and 39 at
Wroxeter. The papers were very fair.
The Arithmetic was easier than usual.
The Dictation much more difficult than
formclryears; many are failing on it
and Geography. , The, Grammar and
Composition were very fair. The Li-
terature is considered rather heavy for
children. The results have to be tran-
smitted for confirmation toToronto,on
or beforethe 20th of July. The results
will be published in the local papers,
about the 3rd of August. Those who
wrote should possess their souls in pa-
tience; • they will be notified through
the post office as soon as the examina-
tion is concluded. Mr. Houston, of
Clinton Collegiate, had charge of the
examination in Wingham; Mr Lough,
of Clinton, and Mr. Musgrove, Wing -
ham, charge at Clinton, and °Inspector
Robb, at Seaforth.
TowN COUNCIL.—The regular meet-
ing of the council was held on Monday
evening. The Property Committee
recommended the furnaces of the
town hall be thoroughly examined, and
if new ones are required that coal
furnaces be put in. The report was
passed, but without committing the
council to any action as regards new
furnaces. The Finance Committee re-
commended payment of the following
accounts:—B. Rumball, cutting wood,
60c; A. Ewing, rent, $2.50; F. Evans,
$4,15; Davis & Rowland, $21,29; W.
Smithson, 536; J. Becker, $206.23; H.
Stevens, assessor, $70; J. 0. Elliott,
rent for customs' office $15; Robins
Bros, $2.68; A. M. Todd,.. printing, $5.50;
receipts of weigh scales, $36; of hall,
$12. Speaking of the work done at the
Cemetery, Mr Searle asked for an ad-
ditional grant of $15 to finish the work
in hand. The reeve contended that
the Committee had already exceeded
its appropriation of $100, and he was
not in favor of any further grant, he
tho aght the expenditureshould be kept
within the appropriation. Coun.
Searle believed that as we derived an
income from the Cemetery, we should
be willing to spend something on it,
even if the appropriation was exceeded.
Coun. Taylor agreed with Mr Searle.
and thou ht the appropriation should
be granted. Coun. Armstrong thought
the work should be done, provided the
amount, was_. sufficient._. A. somewhat
animated and slightly acrimonious dis-
cussion took place with reference to
the cutting of grass and weeds on the
streets, and a notion was passed that
permission be given to any one desiring
to cut and remove grass from the pub-
lic streets.
NOTES.—At the annual meeting of
the Grand Lodge of. Good Templars, in
Hamilton, last week, our esteemed
friend, Frank Metcalf, was again hon-
ored with the office of Grand Treaeurer.
On Tuesday next Mr W. Smithson will
pass his 70th milestone; he looks active
and hearty, and could not be any more
zealous a British subject if the anniver-
sary had been one day in the month
later; we hope he may yet live to see a
good many more milestones. Owing
to the illness of her sister, Mrs Ross, of
Goderich, Miss Cottle has gone up to
spend some time with her. Messrs
Stevens & Sonare pushing forward the
new house for Mr Geo. Trowhill. Dr.
Gunn has now a nice team of chestnut
drivers, having traded his bay driver
with Harvey Davis, for the latter's
chestnut roadster. We are sorry to
announce the serious illness of Mrs
Upshall, who is confined to her room,
and, it is feared, with slight prospect
of recovery. Mr Rufus +Andrews has
taken a position with Harland -Bros.
Town Clerk Coats now sports a daisy
little driving cart, built expressly for
his use by Mr F. Rumball: Mr Frank
Jackson, of Barrie, son of Mr John
Jackson, has entered the state of Ma-
trimony. Rev. Mr.IHaskell, of the
State of Maine, conducted service for
the Brethren, in Perrin's hall, on Sun-
day. Mr Geo. Hoflich has come back
to town and now has charge of the
Rattenbury bus. The volunteers re-
turned from camp last week, somewhat
brozed in features, and with a little
military experience that will do them
no harm, although it is scarcely likely
they will ever be -required to use it.
A small boy, while out bicycle riding
between Clinton and Holmesville, oto
Tuesday. had the misfortune to lose his
watch, but had it returned to him after.
—Mr Will. Jackson was at London,
on Wednesday, looking up a bankrupt
stork; he's a hustler for bargains, as
well as for everything else. Men are
busy cutting down the weeds. Mr W.
Robinson. of the Huron road, had ten
acres of hay cut Saturday last, that
was likely to spoil if not attended to,
and on Tuesday about twenty of the
farmers near by, kindly turned in and
saved it for him. A slight disarrange-
ment of the machinery has retarded
work at the Doherty Organ Factory
for a few days, but everything is hum-
ming away,as usual. It does seem too
bad that owners of lots in the ceme-
tery do bot all co-operate with the
committee in putting the same in or-
der, by cutting the grass and weeds on
their lots; the committee is doing its
utmost, and others should help. Mr
Forrester is constructing a gravel walk
from the corporation limit to his• house
en the Huron road. Doc. Blackall at-
tended a meeting of the VeterinaryAs-
sociation, at Wingham, Wednesday.

RI$ itfONTH we will be busy
with our semi-annual stock. tithing,
Stock taking always brings to light
things we would rather not have, not that
there's anything wrong with them, . but
there's too much or too many of some things
and Remnants or broken lines of others.
These we want cleared out, turned into
money, and for this reason you'll find all
over the store in all departments during this
month, snaps that if taken advantage of
mean a saving of money to you.
We're both gainers by this clearing out
of surplus stock. You get a chance to sup-
ply your wants at prices less than ordinary,
we get the goods turned into ready money,
our stock clean,and are 1 eady for new fresh
goods when they come.
In dealing here the cash customer is
not taxed to help to support the credit cus-
tomer who does not pay. Here all are on
one level—all are cash customers. There's
quite a saving in that—losses, interest, ex-
pense of bookkeeping and collecting --and as
we buy for cash also, we are able to give
you a better dollar's worth than most peo-
ple.
