MR. J. B. RUMBALL is Still vdry ill.
Mn. WM. HARLAND hae been laid up
for several days, but is out again.
HERB, AND ED. MUIR spent a day
or two in Exeter recently.
THE EXETER Advocate says: -Messrs.
John Snell and Frank Ulrich were

THC RATTENBURY HOUSE had no less
than 46 commerical travellers one

Out.
Miss GAULEY has been dangerously
ill with inflammation of the bowels.
1-Ier mother came from Clinton to wait
on her. \Ve trust she will soon be
convalescent.-13russola Post.
ABOUT 300 mernbere of the Protest
ant Protective Association held an
organization rueetiug in Loudon Tuer
clay. Msinbers were present fi'otp
Woodstock, Hamilton, \Vindsor and
other places where the Association has
a footing.
THE p'actice of allowing horse; 'o
stared untied on the street is a danger
nus one. A. prominent citizen pointed
out to a NEWS IiECOH0 reporter the
other day a farmer's team that had ob•
strutted Albert St. for some time, much
to the annoyauce and danger of pass
ers by.
THE ACTON Free Pres is a very good
advertisement for the Georgetown
paper [nil's, owned and conducted by
W. Barber &; Bro. THE NEWS RECORD
lies for many years purchased its news
paper from this firm. Tho product of
their stills is certainly hard to beat and
without many equals.
DON'T Hor.D Ox. -A farmer on the
Brantford market on Saturday refused
$8.85 a hundred for a load of pork,
and took it home again to wait for a -
rise in the quotations. Now he will
8811 at a lower price. It never pays to
hold on when you aro offered all that
au article is honestly worth.
A I'oRK FACTORY. -The plant for
the new pork•packing house at London
will cost $56,000. That is the kind of
industry we would like to see establish-
ed in Clinton. We would be quite
satisfied to see a pork factory establish-
ed on a much smaller scale. There is
e not a doubt but that a pork factory
would pay, and pay well, in Clinton.
Town Topics.
Mas. J. W. GREEN and children, of
Gorrie, are on a month's visit to friends
and relatives in Clinton.
Ma. JOSEPH FOSTER, of Varna,
dro$e over Saturday evening to see his
friend, Mr. John Juuor, who is ill.
BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION. -Mr. John
Scruton celebrated his 33rd birthday
last Friday evening. His nicely lo-
cated residence was brilliantly illnmin•
ated and about 18 couples were present
and spent a very enjoyable evening.
The Misses and Messrs. Hagen, of
Hillsgreen, were present. Mr. Scru-
ton, we trust, will be spared to cote•
brace fully double thirty•three more
birthdays.
THE Coli QUESTION. -At the next
meeting of the council a by-law will
likely be submitted to prohibit• cows
running at large. The voice of the peo-
ple should be complied with. But in
justice to owners of cows --many of
them poor people -a reasonable time
should be given for disposal. It will
cost considerable to winter a cow, and
many have their winter's feed bought.
The revenue from milk, in the spring,
will certainly be a loss. Give the poor
man time to dispose of his cow to ad-
vantage.
TRANSFERRED. -The arms, clothing
and equipment of No. 4 Company,
33rd Battalion, were transferred last
Wednesday from Capt. Todd to
Lieut. Combe. Brigade Major Col.
Aylmer, of London, and Col. Wilson,
of Seaforth, made the transfer and ex
pressed themselves as well pleased with
everything and particularly the con•
,pletenees. It requires a very alert
officer to be in a position to hand over
all the original transfer calls for, still
Capt. Todd practically had no short-
ages. Lieut. Combe will shortly be
gazetted Captain, 2na Lieut. Rance
will step up to let lieutenancy, and
Mr. Malcolm McTaggart will be 2nd
Lieutenant. THE NEWS -RECORD looks
..forward with pleasure and has confi-
dence that the company will prove a
continued success. With two senior
school officers and an addition like
ldr, McTaggart, prosperity will no
doubt mark the future career of the
red coats in Clinton. Wo congratulate
Lieute,
Combe and Rance on thoir
deserved advancement.
RETURN THE ROBE. -Several rigs be-
longing to parties who attended the
entertainment in school house No. 4,
Tuckersmith, wore put up at Mr. Ball's.
A goatrobe belonging to another person
was transferred to the wrung cutter.
The party who now has the robe is re
quested to leave it at Hanley &
Walker's feed store on or before Satur•
day. The owner will call for it on
that date.
A SEASONABLE WARNING. -Do not
allow yourself to feel "chilly." It
may indicate a circumstance of physi-
cal condition which can Easily be
modified by prompt attention. If you
are chilly from a draught move away
from it, stop it off or put
on more clothes. If the coldness
arises from a physical condition, you
are probably taking cold. Heat a
brick and sit with your feet upon it
until you are heated through. This
will do much to prevent a cold taking
hold of vol.
TRIALS AND TnounLas.-Trials and
troubles tiro frequent to the great Ina
jority of people in this world. Especi-
ally is this true in Military matters.
Trials and troubles are frequent and
even dangerous to men who engage in
active service or actual warfare. Of
course there are those who advocate
that we -Canada -should have no
militia, that we require no defenders
and no protecton. But the case in
point will not require any definite ex-
planation. There ivas a grand military
ball at Setforth last Friday evening.
The affair was a grand success, not
quite as successful, though, as that
given in Clinton a year or so ago.
Clinton is noted for always being ahead.
In this case our citizen "solidus"
certainly had the advantage. Several
made up a load and took in the Battal•
ion Ball at Seaforth. They spent a
pleasant evening and all went well. On
the retnrn journey, near Stapleton, the
load of precious human freight was
dumped off in several feet of snow and
the horeee and rig wheeled round and
headed for Seaforth. Two out of
four of the Fatty proceeded in pursuit
and were picked up on the return to
Clinton. The party were convoyed to
town. But the horses and rig will
probably never bo heard from. Sea -
forth is so unreasonable in the matter of
markets that the town may stop in and
take what does not belong to them.
Town 'Topics.
Mtt. C. H. SHANE, who has been
visiting in Clinton, went to Windsor
on Saturday.
L. O. L. 710 will hold their regular
meeting next Monday evening instead
c f the following Monday. The county
meeting will be at Exeter next Tues-
day. -
LATE Metre -The Monday afternoon
mail did not arrive -until 9.20 at night.
The cause was the breaking of the
drive shaft of the engine near Druwbo.
No one was hurt.

But ho has returned to Canada and is

HEALTHY GROWTH. -The Knights of
the blaccabees are growing rapidly and
rank high with all other benevolent in
stitutious. The net increase in member-
ship for 1892 was 36,996 ; 674 subor-
dinate Tents lave b' -en organized, 393
death claims paid, 132 disability claims
paid ; total amount of death and dis•
ability claims paid since organization,
$1,912,587.75. Average age is 33.
The death rate for 18 93 was only 5 to
the 1000. The K. O. 1'. M. is now
entering its twelfth year.
ONTARIO ST METHODIST CHURCH. -
The Rev. lir. Sutherland, Gcueral
Secretary of the Methodist Missionaay
Society, will preach the annual Mis-
sionary sermon in the Ontario Street
Methodist Chu' eh next Sabbath morn•
ing. The pastor will preach in the
evening and will commence a 8011es of
evangelistic services, which will be
continued ovary -eveuing during the
week. All are cordially invited to
these services.
LOCAL TALK. -The firet meeting of
the Clintou 'Town Council has created
the impression that something more
than routine work may be expected
during 1893. We hope so. But the
Abrupt termination of the first meeting
roust lead people to also believe that a
creamery .did not meet with the sup-
port or discussion which it deserved.
In fact there were men at the Board
who said nothing at all. THE NEWS-
REcoun was pleased to sec -the motion
of blc\urchie and Kennedy, offering
exemption from taxation, carried. Mr.
McMurchie said he had in view a pork
or canning factory. But even the
motion was not. discussed as thoroughly
or generally by the members as it
deserved, THE NEws-RECORD gave in
substance what each member said on
the matter. The electo'e will watch
with interest the nett meeting of the
council. They naturally expect the
matter of new industries to be dis-
cussed thQrougllly.
"I'OLLEY PUT TUEKETTLF,ON."-On
Monday before the election of Warden
a Tory ex -\Vanden from the South
Riding of Huron, who. has been a
Reeve for years and is one this year,
was sitting in the Albion hotel, Goder-
ich, enjoying the cosy warmth of the
hostelry. In carne Polley and took a
seat beside the reeve with the remark :
"How's the \Vardenship Y" The reply

Polley. " I have been working for

Tories in the county you are talking

To CORRESPONDENTS. -As a rule
THE NEws-IIECORD goes to press every
Tuesday afternoon. For some weeks,
partly no doubt through the snow
blockades and irregularity of the mails,
a large amount of correspondence hes
not reached us in time for publication.
Fur instance, considerable correspond-
ence-Londesbaro, East Wawanosh,
Dungannon, etc 'not arrive at dud
Clinton post office until last Wed-
nesday morning and some of it Wed-
nesday evening. Of course THE
Naws-RECORD had been printed 24
hours previous and was already read
by hundreds of subscribers. We are
grateful to our correspondents for their
labor and ask for their continued faith-
ful support. It might be well to
divide their budgets -say to Bend a
portion the latter part of the week and
the balance on Monday. When the
supplies are near exhausted let us
kuow and more will be sent. Send ue
alt the news and send it early or late
iu the week -Friday, Saturday, Mon-
day ; very important rnattere will gen-
erally find a limited space on Tuesday
morning.

\VIIAT IS •' ENTERPRISE?"
The duties of a journalist are many
and often said: Recently THE NEWS -

some of our oldest and best people.
Sonic of them were h4711 1n station,

like to see newspaper writers hold up
their end and honestly !make 0 point
against all opponent in political war-
fare. Even in cases of death we
would not strenuously object where
the future public weal is to be served.
But it seems to be one of the grave
sins of the editor of our cotton to strike
THE NEwS-REcoaD " below the belt "
and over the grave of some departed
and highly esteemed citizen. Here is
something about what our totem is
pleased to tern!
