How to become rich or be comfort•
able in our old age is a great theme for
thought to us all.
We listened to the verde of one who
is known as a soliyl bead, or to be less
slangy a thinking, well-to-do citizen, of
this town. He said, if a wan wishes
to be independent, to be comfortable,
in his old age let him start when a
young man and if he should earn a
dollar a day let hint save a quay ter of
it, that is, spend no more than 75 per
sse
cent. of what you earn.
We quite agree with our ft lend and
couplekswitli iris advice we join this
little thought in the matter of perchers-
ing clothing
Do you entertain the thought flat
where you receive the best value, not
the lowest price, is the place which en-
ables you to save your future comfort.

She was aged shout 20 years. In life
she was a devoted Christian and passed
from life to death as such. And by all
people with whom the deceased cams in
contact she was much respected. The
funeral took place to Bayfield cemetery
and was largely attended, Rev. Mr. Mc-
Donald officiating.
"MIRACLES."—Miracle rackets are
still running in the papers. When
you see the heading in some paper
about some wonderful miracle you
may be sure you feel like kicking
yourself before you get through if
you are tempted to read it. You will
pull up with the s',atoment that some
quack medicine has done the business.
This fad has been pretty well over-
worked and something new should be
hatched out to catch the reader. We
believe a straight honest way of adver•
tieing as is done by /till burn & Co., J. C.
Ayer & Co., Humphreys,&c., &c., and
others who buy a apace in a paper, and
make their announcements as attractive
as possible, without any humbug or

IANG1NG ON SLE1ous.—The privi•
lege of running after a sleigh and
jumpingon is dear to the heart of wc.:,
children, yet, when one sees the ire
mendous risks the little ones, in their
thoughtlesanees take, it seems as if the
kindest heart would be the first to stop
the practice. Let drivers be ever so
kind and watchful, they cannot have
their eyes everywhere, and to see
twenty or thirty children struggling to
get a hold on a heavy loaded sleigh and
their feet on the runners, is not very
comforting. There is a great deal of
this going on during thia excellent
sleighing and so far we believe no acci-
dent has occurred, but it will be a mar-
vel if all escape.
WonTHr of MENTION.—There are
people in Clinton who are willing to
obey and carry out the law without
being officially notified of arty
apparontd dereliction of duty. In
saying this we refer only to
the snow by-law. There are
many streets in Clinton and many
sidewalks that are not kept clear of
snow. But among the few who obey
the law and keep their walks in
front of their premises nice and
and clean and comparatively free from
snow are Messrs. Twitcholl, Foster
and Dodd, Maple greet. Mr. Jas. Fair,
Whitehead street, Ties a auow plow of
his own and makes good use of it, not
only to the advantage of himself but to
the advantage of others. The snow
by law in Clinton should be amendend
or wiped olr the statute. It is not
obeyed and no effort made to enforce it
and the by -late is consequently a dead
latter,

the place two cylinder presses were
turning out the confidential lettere
which are used to decoy victims to the
headquarters of the sharpers. A vast
number of bogus telegraph blanks
were on hand. There were some 870,-
000 circulars ready for mailing, so that
the operators had laid plane for an
extensive business. The moat cunning-

HARD ON THE GAME.—The intense
cold and heavy snow is proving very
destructive to the quail and "woodland
hares" in the western section of Ontario,
and farmers aro urged to scatter a little
grain in suitable places in order to
keep life in poor little "Bob White."
In this section the "woodland hares"
aro having a very hard time,
and if they are not utterly
killed out, it will bo because
some of them have fallen heirs (no

chances aro that these little causes of

THE LATH MRs. JAMIESON.—Another
of Huron's honored pioneers has cross-

passed peacefully away on Monday
last. Mrs. Jamieson's. maiden name
was Sarah Roddick. She was bora in
Lockerbie, Dunfriesshire, Scotland,
ou December 21st, 1818. It will thus
be seen that ego had passed the allotted
three scorn and ten years. She has
beon,a resident of Canada for over half
a century, and has lived all the time at
her late residence on the Huron Road.
Her hustruud died a few yoara ago.
She returned last Juno from a year's
visit to her son, Dr. G. Jamieson, in
Wisconsin. She enjoyed unusually
good health, and was able to help her-
self until within the past few days,
when she was troubled with a weakness
of the heart. On Monday morning she
quietly breathed her last. The re-
main+ were interred in Clinton ceme-
tery on Thursday. Mrs. Jamieson
had n family of ten children, and nine
still survive her, six sons and three

died at 1.20 0. an. on Monday. Al.
though the lady had been ailing from
a complicated trouble for a considers
able time and took a worse turn a few
da) s ago, the enol was not so soon ex
pected. Her maiden name was Har-
riet McKay, born'in July, 1844, at or
near Fort Coulange, Que. She was of
Scotch parentage and resided in Ottawa
for some years, w h. re Mr. Whitehead
first met the lady as M. P. from Huron.
She afterwards removed to Winnipeg,
where elle became Mrs. Whitehead
some ten years ago, and a couple of
years later .D,lr. and Mrs. White-
head took tip their residence . in
Clinton. The deceased was a member
of the Presbyterian church in Win.
nipeg. She was one of a family of
sixteen and Mr. Whitehead's third wife.
Her husband, Mother, one brother
and two sisters survive her. In life
the late Mrs. Whitehead was an ex-
emplary woman and exceptional-
ly kind and considerate to the
poor, her benevolence in this respect
being a very prominent characteristic.
The funeral will take place to -morrow
at 2.30.
Caen vs CRet:en—A cash business is
certainly the most desirable for purcbas
Brand seller. The Hodgens estate, dry
goods, and Taylor & Sons, boots and
shoes, have decided to do a cash busi-
ness only. On Febuary let these firms
purpose introducing the new" order of
things. A circular to hand gives the fol-
lowing information:—It is a well-known
fact that it great proportion of the losses
in any business are caused by "Bad
Debts," or long standing accounts, and
tete loss of interest, coat of colleeting,
care of books, &c. '!'hese losses and the
cost of carrying accounte are all a charge
on the business and must come out of
the profits. For example: Suppose a
firm commencing cash and credit busi•
nests do a credit business of $15,000 the
first year, during the year they re
ceive by payments on account $5,000
which would leave them when the year
closed, with $10,000 on their books.
From our own experience we cry say
that with no increase in the amount of
business done, this firm would in
future, never have less than the
$10,000 out, for in their second year they
would sena goods out on credit as fast
as they would collect their previous
year's accounts. Now see what extra
cost there is in a year, doing this $15,000
credit business:—Interest on $10,000 at
8 per cent. bank rate $800 00. Losses
from bad debts $400 00. Cost of Sta-
tionery, Postage, &c 8150 00. Value of
time taken in care of books $400 00—
$1,750.00. Or to do the 1315,000 business
on credit there is an extra coat of $1,750.
or nearly 12 per cent. When marking
goods we have to figure on the cost of
giying credit just the same as we do for
rent, taxes, help, &e. We believe a
cash business will be mutually bene-
ficial. Every person is looking for the
cheapest market to buy in and where
goods are sold on credit cannot be the
cheapest place. Neither can a cash
and credit business be the cheapest, al-
though cash customers may get a dis
count, yet the credit prices are always
asked, and even with the discount off
the prices are not as law as they would
be if the business was strictly cash. It
is an undoubted fact that the man who
sells the cheapest is the man who sells
for cash.
