It is claimed that the.: machine will do work ,a'good deal neater than it is possible to do by hand. ,A-NE'av PAPER.—The latest ,addition to the newt aper,list of this district is the ,S.ipleyilguirer, which promises to .be neutral in politics and to devote it- ' self to the;local interests of Ripley. Its stissue'isaavery creditable get up, and, we hope it niay have a long and successful gareer. OYSTER 'SUPPER.—Mr Jos. White - Dead entertained the town band to an oyster super on Thursday evening last at his residence, at which a number of the • boys gave songs, instrumental solos, duets, etc. Mr Whitehead has • been extremely liberal, as he made them a "handsome donation when they were organizing.

This lodge is mak- ing strenuous efforts to keep up the in- terest in their work, and strengthen the cause of temperance. May success attend their efforts. • AMERICAN, MONEY IN DEMAND.— Most people are usually glad to get any kind of money, whether American, Canadian, or even coppers, .but there has been a little disposition lately to "kick" against American silver. Last Friday, however, American, money' Was in great demand, and the banks, business houses and everywhere else scoured in order to supply the wants of those who were going to the World's Fair. Several had to do without it and made their exchange wherever they could. TSIs FITS CLINTON TO A DOT —A good town to settle in is that in which you see the farmers patronize the home ,merchants, the merchants advertise in local papers, the laborers spend the money they earn with their own trades- men, and all animated with a spirit that will not purchase articles abroad if they can be purchased at home. The , spirit of reciprocity between business men and laborers, farmers' and manu- facturers, results every time in mak- ing a town a satisfactory one in which :.to,.do.business._. • • • PRACTICAL JOKE.—Two young girls in town had a pretty bad scare last week. A certain gentleman and wife being away from home left the house in care of two sisters, who on returning home early Saturday evening, found clothes and other things scattered about the'rooms, apparently showing that burglar. s had been at work. On search being made nothing was miss- ing. It has sihce turned out that two sisters of the above young girls want- ed to frighten them, and took this method, .which we think was an un- kind practical joke. HE FOUND IT.—The other day Mr Wm. Weir, of the Bayfield road, ad- . vertised for a steer that he had lost. 4 few days afterwards he found it. This animal did not walk home when it saw the advertisement—nor was its recovery in any way dpe to the adver- tisement—singular as this may seem. While hunting around the farm, Mr Weir found the steer head first in a hole on the river bank, where it had, seemingly, slipped down the bank, and broken its neck in the fall. It 'was one of the best steers on the farm, and had been dead for several days.

W. was tendered Mr David Ho;; art, who . is a member of the above Order, in his recent sad be- reavement:— REBOLUTION—Whereas it has pleased Al- mighty God in his infinite wisdom to re- move from the earth your dear wife, we, the members of Clinton Lodge No. 144, A. O.U.W., desire to express our heart -felt sympathy with yourself and your family in your sad bereavement. If brotherly love and sympathy can lessen the weight of sorrow that has fallen on you, then we gladly share your burden. We are not, however, sorrowing as those without hope, for we believe that your loss is her eternal gain, and we earnestly pray our Heavenly Father to pour the balm of consolation 011 your wounded heart, and that he may safe- ly lead you through this world of sorrow, and that you may be re -united in the Grand Temple above where parting shall 'be no more. Signed on behalf of the Lodge. NOTES.—The post office is .now light- ed with electricity; many owners of private houses are thinking of using incandescent lights. Mr Jno. G. Medd has moved to Londesboro, where he will work the farm of Mr W. Hiles. Mr Robt. J.

Mr Jas. Reynolds, of Hullett, informs us that he got the 1st prize at Iaoderich for a 2 -year-old gelding, also that he got 1st for heavy draught team at Seaforth and was not credited for them. Mrs W. W. Farran sprained her ankle while getting off the train at Chicago. Mr Jas. Flynn had an ex- perience one night last week he will not care to repeat; he •was driving a colt attached to a buggy along the London road, just south of the bridge, when some fresh gravel on the road startled it, in a second the colt, rig and all were upside down in the ditch; Jim managed to crawl out and detach the colt from the rig, and was pleas- antly surprised to find that nothing was broken. Mr Isaac Bezzo, who has been living in Chicago for some time, •returned to Clinton on Friday; he says times are hard there for the laboring man, and he purposes remaining here. Messrs W. Mair and G. Warren and wife, of Hullett, returned from the World's Fair Friday, perfectly delight- ed with their trip. Rev. R. McCosh, of Chatham, formerly of Bayfield, was the guest of R. Irwin last week; he paid a visit to his old friends in Bay- field while in this vicinity. The town band serenaded Mr Jos. Whitehead on Thursday night of last week. Mr Thos. Jackson, sr., formed a Sons of England lodge in Wingham last week and in- stalled the officers of the same. Mr John Irving and wife got back last week from a pleasant visit to their sons in Chicago. Large quantities of pressed hay have been shipped lately, over 200 tons going from here since harvest.

Mr W. F. Longman has been lying seriously ill ever since his return from the north- west, two weeks ago. Mr Wm. Spin- dler is lying at the point of death. Mrs Saville, sr., has gone to visit friends in Muskoka. A tile drain has been laid across Huron St. along the east side of Orange St. Young boys who are in the habit of throwing dirt and stones at windows, better discontinue the practice before they get into trouble. We very much regret to hear of the sudden death of Miss Winnie Young, which occurred on Monday night, she was ill but a few days with typhoid fever. Mr John Steep is gradually improving, though still very weak. Rev. H. Irvine, of Goderich, passed through town early Monday morning, on his wheel, en -route forClifford. Mr John Cotton, who is hostler at the Central, had the misfortune to fall from the stable loft and fracture a rib.

Mr and Mrs Jacobs, left on Wednesday for Oapace, Mich. Miss Flossie Pattison left on Tuesda to spend a few days in. Too MANY Now.—It is said that an- other paper will shortly be started in Biussels. There's no law to prevent it being done, but we would have thought that the earlier experience in this same direction would have been a lesson not quickly forgotten. Brussels is too small a place to support two papers, and a second paper simply means a struggle for existence, especially when there are too many papers in the county now. It may be an advantage to have both political parties represent- ed by papers, but the Post has never been a partypaper, and while another would unquestionably divide the busi- ness of the place, there is not much possibility of it securing a permanent foothold for years, and if the promot- ers of the new paper are wise they will - keep their money in their pocket and stop before they start. WORLD'S FAIR PARTY.—The lamest World's Fair party that left here since the fair opened, went off last Friday evening, having a special palace car of the Wabash line provided for their ac- commodation. It was under the spe= tial direction of Mr Will Jackson, Town Agent G.T.R., and Mr Jos.Richardson, the travelling agent of the Wabash, aceompanioned the party as far as London. A sleepping car is somewhat of a novelty in Clinton, and a great many people were down to see the part off, which consisted as follows:— W.W. Farrah ,wife and daughter; G. D. Me ag ;Oft, b.A. Forrester, Will Coats, John Middleton and wife, T. Marks and wife, Bayfield; Mrs Dovey, Rev. W. Smyth; Dr. Stanbury and son§ Bayfield; D. V, Mac" bets= d wife; u t Alpou. Thb clay is almost past or the old fashioned.hand loom and its product of rag carpet. It is going the way of the spinning wheel and other ancient things. Now the pro-. duct of modern machinery and skilled workmen is at your doors at an insignificant cost. Last spring we made a special effort in our Carpet Depart- ment, and that effortwas rewarded by the biggest Car- pet trade ever in the history of the business. We believe that result was attained by showing a choice of Patterns rarely seen in a town this size, an endeavor to •have the patterns new and the qualities first class, and by the undoubtedly good values cash selling enabled us to offer. This fall we have a still better range of patterns in Brussels and Tapestry with or without border to match, Wool, Union and Hemp Carpets, while the prices, we are con- fident, are as low, quality considered, as those of city houses; we have .compared prices, and know whereof we speak. " This week we have placed in this department a Carpet Sew- ing Machine. This machine forms what is called the elastic stitch, and makes a seam far superior to the most careful hand sewing; in fact, when the carpet is down, it is almost impossible to detect the seam. Now we purpose making the following offer :—All carpets bought of us we will take the measure of the room, cut, make and laythe carpet free of charge. You Select the Carpet, We do the rest. If we give you by long odds the best and biggest stock in Huron to choose from, sell you at city prices, and save you the trouble of making and laying, do you think you can afford to buy a carpet any where else? We opened this week the biggest shipment of Floor Oil Cloths ever brought to Clinton, and now have the best range ever shown by us in. 4-4, 5-4, 6-4 and 8-4 goods. The patterns are new, and yon can have all widths in several different qualities. A very nice thing for under stoves are Oil Cloth Squares; they are finished with a border on all sides, and have a much better appearance than ordinary oil cloth, Remember the great Cotton- and Flannel sale. that are going.
