I..QltTl 0 OATTLE.--Farmers are now. buying up stockers for feeding purposes, and several farmers in this vicinitv'will stall -feed quite a number of cattle daring the winter. It is said that stockers can be bought cheaper on the Toronto Market than they can anywhere else. PERsnfit,aL,. ,,.Dr`. Horsey, (and wife) formerly of Clinton, were here on a • vislt.last week. They leave New York • ekt week for England, and from there proceed to China and around the world, in the interest of the Sun Life Insurance Company. It must be nice to be an insurance agent. PROPERTY ORANGE.—Mr McGill, of Blyth, father of Mrs F. W. Watts, has bought from Mr C. Landsborough, Tttckersmith, the quarter acre lot on Rattenbury st., formerly occupied' by Mulloy's pump factory. The price is in the neighborhood of $300. We be- lieve it is Mr McGill's intention to erect a house thereon next spring, and become a resident of town. HEALTH FAILING.—Thos. Sanderson, who has been Inspector of the Confed- eration Life Association for Western Ontario, and who was in town Iast Friday, has been relieved owing to ill health, and will be employed in the Toronto office. Inspector Boyd, of Eastern Ontario, has been appointed Superintendent of Agencies for the whole Province. Holum FAIR. --The cattle and horse fair, inaugurated here some time ago, seems to have fallen through., We: notice that in other places horse fairs are being held, but at the prices' horses have lately been selling, and the slow demand for them, there is not the greatest prospect of fairs being a suc- cess. However, it is worth while to consider the advisability of starting one again. No MONEY IN IT.—It has been fre- quently said that "Clinton is a poor lecture towns" and experience has un- fortunately demonstrated the saying to ' be true., Same of the very ablest lecturers have been brought here, only to result in loss to the parties concern- ed. John R. Clarke's lectures, last week, resulted in the same thing, for after all expenses were paid, there were only a few dollars left. SLIGHTCHANGE—It was rumoredllast week that a change would be made in the running of trains on the G. T. R. that would bring the evening train in from the east at about 11 o clock, in- stead of 9.20. This change was under consideration, but the company has, decided that for the present it shall not take place. The evening train from London leaves five minutes earlier than before, 6.55 now being its time. PROM AN QLD H>.RoNIAN.—Mr Albert May, formerly of Clinton, but now re- siding in Stevensville, Montana, end in business with his brother, writes as follows to a friend here:—We grow all kinds of fruit; our winters are very short ; seldom more than two to six weeks of real winter. We grow great crops; 50 to 80 and 120 bushels of oats is a common crop, and 30 to 50 of wheat; sheep and hogs have been our hobby; we have dressed about 1.000 muttons and lambs this summer, be- sides beef and pork; we also do a large business in live stock and dressed meats. We have now about 5,000 sheep, 3,000 of them ewes. Sold our �hogs last ebrury aat 8}c. on foot. ° Our market for stock, etc., is at Butte and Helena. BENEFT OF GOOD CATTLE.—The ad- vantages of keeping cattle that will bring in the greatest amount of reve- nue, is such that an illustration is scarcely necessary, yet here is one with ,the benefits on its face. .At the recent Huron Central Fair, Mrs James Van- gmond, of the gravel road, Hullett, ok three first prizes for butter, and e remark was made, "That comes otn keeping Jerseys." They have ree cows of this breed, and have cus- mers for more butter than they can pply, at prices always higher than ordinarymarket price. Mr Van- Egimond tellus that they have a two- year-old Jersey heifer that has aver- aged I0 lb. of butter in 7 days, chile they get 2 lb. a day each from their Jersey cows. One pound a day from ordinary cows is considered a good average. OVER -WORK KILLED HIM.—Mr D. A. Burgess, formerly a teacher in Clinton Collegiate, and who graduated from - Toronto University in 1890, died on Thursday morning, at 55 Grenville St., after a longillness. Mr Burgess ma- triculated rom St. Catharines Collegi- ate with firbt-class honors in mathe- matics and English. At the University his course was notably a bright one, including mathematics, English and political science. He was leader of the mock horise of commons of the College Literary_ Society, and wes considered ,the most effective and convincing pub - ,lie speaker then in the University.He took some of the work in Knox Cllege, bit being unable to subscribe to some f the tenets of the Calvinistic doctrine e turned his attention to teaching. he body was taken to Norwood for Anent, i avEr.--We are sorry to announce e death of the wife of Capt.

Sole dI• SoOTtANp,—Invitations are out for the Annual Dinner under the auspices of Murray Camp, Sons of Scotland, which takes place at the Queen's Hotel, Clinton, ori the even- ing of Nov, 30th. No doubt they will have a jovial time. Sohooi. BOARD.—The regular meet- ing of the School Board was held on Monday evening, but beyond, the pay- ment of a few accounts, no business was transacted. The Principal's re- port showed the average attendance or the month of October to be 407, the highest during the year, January excepted. RETIRING MEMBERS.—Toe members of the Public School whose term ex- pires at the end of the year are as fol- lows;—St. Andrew's ward, W. S. Har- land; St. James' ward, G. Stewart; St. John's ward, Israel Taylor; St:George's ward, J. C. Stevenson. The election takes place the same day as the mu- nicipal election, and all these persons are eligible for re-election. COLLEGIATE.—The regular meeting of the Trustees of the Collegiate In- stitute was held on Friday evening. The following accounts were paid:— McMurray & Wiltse, supplies, 90e; John Bean, supplies, $6; Beesley & Co.. sundries, $1; D. Gardner, repairs, 51; A. M. Todd, printing, $3.50. The Chairman and Principal were author- ized to prepare and send out an an- nouncement of the school's advantages and standing, for the term commenc- ing January next. THE BOOK or THE FAIR.—Part four, of this beautiful work, issued by the Bancroft Company, Chicago, has been received. The work improves as the description proceeds. The engravings. especially the full page ones, are superb, and to those who were visitors at the fair, they call up with vividness the pleasures of the occasion, while to those who did not get to the fair, the work is simply indispensible, if they wish to know anything about the re- markable event of 1393. POULTRY, This is the season of the year when farmers are disposing of their poultry, and if a little more care was taken in preparing them, their sale would be . an easier matter. At present it is difficult to ship poultry to city markets, simply because they are not properly dressed. They should not be fed for some time before being killed, they should not be scalded so much, and they would be the better if they were killed by cutting the jugular vein instead of wringing their necks, Poultry that is neatly dressed will al- ways find ready sale at good prices. SUDDEN DEATH,—The people here were shocked on Monday rhorning to hear of the death of Dr. James Camp- bell, of Detroit, son-in-law of Mr Jas. Fair, more especially as letters had been received from Mrs Campbell on Saturday, in which had beet no in- limation whatever of his illness. It seems that he complained of a pain in his back on Saturday, and not getting up at his accustomed time, Sunday morning, his wife went to his room, and found him unconscious. She in- stantly called in a medical man, who pronounced it apoplexy, and did what he could for .him, although regarding the case as hopeless, and he died short- ly after. Deceased was born in Clin- ton, and was 40 years old. He studied medicine at the Toronto Medical Col- lege. After graduating he established himself in Detroit, where he built up a lucrative and extensive practice. In 1890 he was elected a member of the Board of Education. He was a mem- ber of a number of societies, including the'Masons, Knights Templar, Knights of Pythias, Oddfellows and Chosen Friends. The remains were in Detroit, on Tuesday. That Mrs Campbell has the sincere sympathy of her many friends in this town goes without saying. Norse.- lir W. Doherty is spending a few days in New York, combining business with pleasure. We are ex- ceedingly sorry to hear of the serious illness of the wife of Mr Henry Stevens, who is suffering from paralysis; bet condition is regarded as critical, and her sister, Mrs Tuffts, is in constant attendance on her. TheGoderich Star says :—"District Deputy Jackson, of Chiiton, paid an official visit last week tri Liverpool Lode, S. O. E., in Gode- rich; this lodge is one of the hest in the county. Mr F. McPherson, after a several day's confinement to the house from the effects of a heavy cold, is now attending to business as usual, Mr T M Carling is confined to the house by illness; he has not been in good health for some time. Mrs Brooks (pee Miss M. Cantelon) of Mit- ehell, spent Sunday with her parents here. Mr Fred Webb, of New York, is home on a visit; he has not been in the beat of health, and has decided to take a rest; his family is with him. Mr Geo. ,Theobald, of ttrigden, instead of moving to London at, the end of the year, as announced, will move to Clin- ton, and take a term at the Collegiate, We are pleased to know that the wife of Mr Eph.

Miss Eva Chidley, who has been in delicate health for some time, took a serious turn on Mon- day, but we are glad to say she has since improved somewhat, although yet very low.
