"ADVERTISING DON'T PAY."—Some men try advertising as the Indian did feathers. He took one feather, laid it on a board, and slept on it all night. in the morning he remarked : "White man say feather heap soft ; white man big fool." Some invest fifty cents in advertising, and then, because they do not realize a great increase of busi- ness, declare advertising dosen't pay. REMOVALS.—Mr. George Blatchford has taken up his permanent residence at Alma. We are sorry to see him leave Clinton.—Mr. D. Cantelon has taken up his residence over Cantelon Bros. store until his new house is ready for occupancy, which will only be a few weeks.—Mr. and Mrs. W. Foster have ..got settled in their comfortable cottage on Albert street, Mr. Thos. Farquhar removing to the Stevens cottage on the same street just vacated by Mr. D. Cantelon. • AN OLD JOURNALIST SAYS :—A county editor is one who reads news- papers, writes on any subject, sticks tye, folds papers, makes up mails, runs errands, saws wood, works in the garden, is blamed for a thousand things he never thought of, works hard all day, is subject to spring fever, helps people into office who forget all about rt afterwards and very frequently gets cheated out of his earnings ; he puffs up and does mart to build up the town and country than anyone else, and the miser and fogy are benefitted, yet they will not take the paper, but will borrow it an'tl read it and cuss the fool editor. BeTTER THAN GOLD.—A reader of this paper, whom we shall call Miss . -Dodge, sends the following for publica- tion :—Understanding that some per- sons of late have become• afflicted with ••that terrible disorder of the mouth, called scandal, we would give them the following prescription, assuring them ' that if they carefully follow the diret;- tions they will never regret it : Take of good nature, one ounce ; of an herb Called by, the Indians mind your own business one ounce ; mix with a little charity for others, and two or three sprigs of keep your tongue between your teeth; sun - Vier them together in a vessel called . fi ircumspection for a little while and it will be fit for use. Application. The symptoms are : A violent itching of the tongue and roof of the mouth, which invariably takes place when you are in company with a species of animal called ossipps. When you feel a fit of the is'or'der coming on, take a tablespoon - of , the /nature, hold it in your nc dab Which you will keep closely sh0ti11 YOU. get home, and should you ap "rehend a relapse, keep a small hottle�f�`til,abbot you and oin the slightest syinptorns repeat the dose. Any furth- er informatio>if regarding this Simple teuht'e', thity be had by addressing: 44 ossip :Ave. Tows" Topics. MRS. KILTY, Rattenbury S., has re- turned from a visit to Hillsgreen, SIX MONTHS.—Maggie Kennedy, an incorrigible character, who has been on remand for vagrancy at Brantford for some time, has been sentenced to six months in the Central Prison. BURNED OUT.—Regina, N. W. T., had a big fire on Tuesday morning. Amongst those who suffered was Charlie Howson, a former Olintonian, wholesale liquor merchant. Tho build- ing was insured for $1,000 and the stock was removed, but damaged. NOT A SUCCESS.—The lapse of time causes some people to forget the past. Our town cotent. appears to be of this class of people. Mr. John Ransford had a letter in the New Era last week and the editor replied, among other things declaring that the ScottAct was, a success. We believe that nine out of every ten former adherents will declare that the Scott Act was a failure. And of course it was. Why was the meas- ure east aside by the electors if it was a success after several years' trial ? Ob- serving people know that it was a farce. Mr. Ransford has the bulk of argument and evidence in his favor and will be likely to make use of it with consider- able force. HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE for No- vember 21st will be a special Thanks- giving Number. It will have a colored cover with an appropriate drawing. The third instalment of Captain King's "Cadet Days," whiclii is proving to be the great boys' story of the year, opens the number; and then follow Thanks- giving stories by Ellen Douglas Deland, Martha Louise. Pool, R. K. Munkittrick and a Thanksgiving poem by Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster (the Post -Mis- tress); the first part of an interesting and instructive article, by Kirk Munroe, on "How a Daily Newspaper is Edited;" and other, stories Anil articles by W. J. Henderson, H. G. Paine, and James Barnes on World's Fair subjects, deep sea diving, and sea stories. A GOOD PAPER.—The Stratford Her- ald is without a doubt one of the very best papers in Western Ontario. Since the Dingman . got possession of the Herald the paper has several . tunes been enlarged. Last week the Herald was again enlarged. Of late years new type, new presses . and other improved machinery have taken the place of the old. And to complete the progressive outfit the Herald is issued from ahand- some. new brick building owned by the publishers. As an all-round newspaper no better could be desired than the Herald, and the fact that it has'a large and increasing circulation, a live busi- ness town and liberal advertising pat- ronage, ell combine to create a very successful business enterprise. ' Tun PEEK-A-BOO FLIRT.—SOnle: girls are desperate flirts, but the young lady at Cooper's book store beats them all. These words, unexplained, might place THE NEWS -RECORD in a very awkward position, liable to have a libel suit on hand for $20,000 damages. We do not refer to the only real live Canadian lady in the store. The lady we refer to is said to be of German birth, and taps on the window or show case to attract the attention of passers-by or callers. She's not at all bashf41, and quite pro- fuse in lavish smiles. She does not say a great deal; but when wound up is a terror to go. The fan may be a little out of season, but "old heads" say the evolutions are as "old as the hills"— that is to date from the time of Adana ,and Eve. And we don't doubt the state- ment. FUR COAT Los'r.—Mr. Thos Jackson, Sr., had a very good jokethe•other day. All people like a good fur coat or wrap. in frosty weather. Jackson Bros. always keep a good stock and these days and evenings one longs for a garment of fur as they pass the immense store of this films. Mr. Jaekson, Sr., did not specially longfor one, as he is in the same lnae. ut a very handsome fur coat broke loose from its moorings in the strong wind and for a lark he picked it up and carried it home. The next morning was very frosty and he wore it down town and enjoyed the greatest possible comfort. It happened that the discovery of the lost garment .was made in THE NEWS -RECORD office, where both had called—father and then son. The meeting of course was mutual and an exclamation was all that was necessary. The "lost fur coat" was not lost after all. A Goon WORK.—The Canadian Al- manac and Miscellaneous Directory has been issued and is on Tun NEws- REcoRD table through the courtesy of the publishers, the Copp, Clark Co., Toronto, and Messrs. Cooper & Co., Clinton. The work has long been con- sidered not only a valuable but a stand- ard work. Business men especially look for the Canadian Almanac as the old year closes. Information—valuable in- formation—can be secured there that is almost otherwise lost. A list of all the Post Offices in Canada is given, with the railroad on which located or nearest railway station, thus forming a Gazet- teer of the Dominion. A most interest- ing article on THE FLAG of Oun COUNTRY, written by a retired naval officer,tells us all about the flag and arms of the Dominion ; explains why only the arms of the four Provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick appear on the Canadian Flag; and supplies just the knowledge that every true Canadian should have of his country's national emblem. The House of Commons, politically divided, wills be found invaluable to every one interested in Dominion affairs. The Directtry of Clergy, Barristers, Banks, Municipalities, Government officials, Societies, &c., has been carefully re- vised up to date. Articles have been contributed by DR. fANILt, CLARK On Insanity' and by, and G. E. I,u;yls- DEN on The Solar System. The Al- manac may be obtained frorn all book- sellers or from the publishers. Town Topics. To NEw YORK.—Mr. W. Doherty left last Friday on a visit to New York. ZURICH WAY.—The other evening we hailed Mr. R. J. McDonald on the street.

It is said that he would be pleased to have a creamery in opera- tion here. PAY IN ADVANCE.—All subscriptions should .be paid in advance. A good number of papers have adopted the plan, the latest being the Blyth Stan- dard. A genuine cash system would be the best for everybody. WHAT'S IN A NAME ?—Even if we do not refer to it as a specimen of the gallinaceous fowl indigenous to Amer- ica, and known to ornithologists as the • Meleagris gallopavo, we will all enjoy the Thanksgiving turkey just the same. SECURED ROOMS,—Mr. Lack Kennedy has secured Menzies store just north of Harland Bros. hardware and the premises are being put in shape. In a short time he will be ready for busi- ness. THE PORK MARKET.—Mr. E. Dinsley bought a large number of dressed hogs last week. The cold snap and severe frost helped both supply aud demand. The price yesterday was $6.50 per hun- dred. M 1.CCABEE MEETING.—The annual meeting of Kearns Tent No. 06, K.O.T. M., will be held in their hall, town, on Friday evening,* Dec. lst.

The executive had previously decided on holding a convention at Goderich on December 12th. West Huron will be heard from in due season with no uncertain sound. RUNAWAY.—A fine team owned by Mr. E. Butts made things a little lively on Albert street last Monday as they galloped along with a lumber wagon and rio occupant. They were captured, there being no damage. The team started from Irwin's elevator. Dn. HonsEY was in town on a short visit last week. In a few days he will leave on a trip around the world on business intent. He will first visit England, then India, Australia, Java, China, Japan, a ,cross to British Colum- bia and home. About a year will be occupied in the long voyage. OUTSIDE WORK.—Mr. John Croll and a gang of risen have been working at Blyth and neighborhood for several weeks.

This week he is work- ing at Little's, this side of Blyth, THE GUN.—The 25 Club shoot will take place on the Gun Club grounds to- morrow, commencing at 8 a.m.—Sev- eral members of the .Gun Club will take part in a live pigeon match at Seaforth to -morrow. — There will be a target match for fowl and prizes over the At- holcott ranges to -morrow. The ranges will likely he 200 and 400 yards. PEREMPTORILY CLOSED.—A.P. Pous- sette. Q. C.solicitor for the Agricul- turist Publishing Co., Peterborough, has sent the newspapers the following notice :—"I beg to inform you that the Post Office Department at Ottawa has peremptorily closed the prize competi- tions advertised by the Agriculturist Publishing Co.and requires the im- mediate discontinuance of all advertise- ments respecting sarneZ This action is taken in consequence of complaints from Washington. You will, therefore, please without fail at once cease the Agricultur'ist's advertisements." ' THE CHOSEN N RIENDS.—'1 he Cana- dian Order has a prosperous Council in Clinton. The membership is increas- ing and females as well as males are admitted. There are sick benefits and insurance as well. When the Council in Clinton first organized there was about $15,000 in the treasury, ' now there is the handsome sum of nearly $50,000. Death and sick claims are promptly paid and the Order is now said to compare favorably with the very best.

Pugsley and wife, of Norwich,• will conduct services in the church and continue them the follow- ing week. ENTERTAIr MENT. — The entertain- ment in the Ontario Street Methodist Church on Tuesday evening of last week was a success. The young peo- ple of the church never fail in a good Srogramme. The pastor, Rev. W. myth, spoke in eloquent and logical terms of the World's Fair and satisfied the great majority. The receipts were handsome considering the numerous gatherings at this season of the year. NEW NORTHERN NAMES.—An es- teemed friend of THE NEWS -RECORD sends us two new subscribers, Dun- gannon post office, with the remark that a "few more will follow next week." If the Goderich "blackguard" will only continue his lying abuse of this paper and the successful Dungannon Show and the people connected with, it we shall have cause to fell that after all the "jockey gambler" of our totem. has been doing a good work—increasing the circulation of THE NEWS -RECORD. BIRTHS.—On THE NEWS -RECORD ex- change table, on Monday, November 20th, 1893, The Ripley Enguirer, aged 7 weeks and 8 days. The number com- prises four pages and twenty-eight fat, plump columns of live news and adver- tising matter. The youngster is father- ed by Messrs. Chapman & Mooney. And they seem to be quite worthy fathers, full of paternal care for the baby. Its columns indicate that the Enquirer is being fed well by the busi- ness men of Ripley generally and the parents in particular. Barring the numerous infantile diseases, the new- comer promises to live to a good old age. We welcome the new paper to our exchange table and wish it long life and abundant prosperity. • Town Topics. SHIPPING.—James Steep will ship a- ncther .lot of fine hogs to -day. 'RETURNiD.—Mrs. Geo.

SAD DEATH.—The remains of Mrs. John Mulloy, formerly of Clinton, were brought hell, from Detroit last Monday. Consumption was the cause of death. Her age was nearly 35 years. Mr. Mulloy and several of a family survive. The funeral takes place to Clinton cemetery to -day. NOT IN THE FIELD.—A cog respondent has been kind enough to mention the editor of this paper as a possible candi- date for municipal honors. While we are ever ready to serve the town, muni- cipal honors we are not after. Our time is well taken rep in our present business and we believe we can better serve the town where we are—in the editorial chair. A WORTHY VOLUNTEER.—Mr. John Black, of Dungannon, is one of the many NEWS -RECORD volunteers. He is also one of the many British -Can- adians who have faith in their own country. If Mr. Black lives—and we trust that he shall for many years to come --he will at least read THE NEWS - RECORD until away on in eighteen hun- dred and ninety-five. We would be de- lighted to chronicle the fact that every reader was as well paid in advance. These old pioneers are always to the front when their valued subscriptions are required.

CAMPBELL DIES SUDDENLY.— The following from the Detroit Free Press refers to a former resident df Huron and son-in-law of our townsman, Mr. James Fair :—Dr. Jaynes Campbell, the well known physician and member of the Board of Education, died sud- denly yesterday morning at his late residence, 184 Twelfth street, Satur- day evening lie complained of pains in the back, but there was no apprehension of any serious trouble. The doctor re- tired as usual, but as he did not rise at his accustomed hour his wife sought his room and found him in an unconscious condition. Restoratives were immedi- ately applied and Dr. McDonald was sent for. The latter tried to revive hiiii, but the doctor sank gradually and died about 9o'clock . Coroner Beateher was notified and he will crake an in- vestigation. Apoplexy is believed to have been the cause of his death and it is not likely that an inquest will he held. The deceased was born in Clin- ton, Otrt., and was 40 years old. Ho studied medicine at the Toronto Med- ical College. After graduating he established himself in this city, where he built up a lucrative practice. In 1890 he was elected amember of the Board of Education. He was a mem- ber of a number of societies, including the Masons, Knights Templar, Knights of Pythias, Odd. Fellows, and Chosen Friends. The funeral will take place from the family residence on Tuesday afternoon. A special meeting of the Board of Education will be called to take action on his death. County Currency. D. R.

Tho match was for the Crawford cup. Sighting Shots on the Side. By Saup,Shop; The other day we dropped into Doc. Blackall's office and you should see all the old sports there, the all absorbing topic being the Thanksgiving shooting match. The following are sdme of the criticisms about the contestants :— Doe. blowing for his side and John McMurray, his running mate, a good second. Doc, says "I know Lack is no use at this kind of shooting; his nerve may be all right in speeding 'Lord.Tenny- son' or 'making a cushion shot on the billiard table, but it won't go here." Cap. Morrish is a great shot on the fence. He once went shooting and aimed at a chipmunk, but forgot which end and clubbed it with the butt and shattered not the chipmunk, but "Shorty's" gun. • Jun Fair never shot at bird's, but when a boy was a corker with ra bow and arrow, so now ft'els sure of a big score. Brinker and Norris. Fair base their reputation as shooters in being on the Home of the Dauntless Lacrosse tearer, where they used to practice drop shots, but we bet the birds will all drop on thein.. The only record Spalding has as a shooter is he spent a week once at Kingston Artillery School, and lie viewed a few 100 pounders ata mile. He also claims that while playing base ball he bit an in -Shoot. Shaw and Ilaance spent a month years ago at a inilital'v school 1 ,rd 181- agine they can shoot b`rd;. We'll see 1 Bob. Agnew once taught th:i young idea out at Belgrave how to shoot. but he will find a vast change awaiting linin to -morrow. Cully Ball shoot 1 Well, I saw him and Bill Jenkins shooting craps and Cully was no use at all. Be;ides there is no gun small enough for hirn unless Rance & Spalding loan hint their •lea shooter. Do yon think Ronnie can shoot?. I don't. 1 never saw a cigarette. 4traokefi that could do anything well in the shooting line yet. Gundry is not "in it;" cannot get up early enough in the morning and it's too far in the country for Dan to walk. Turnbull's Best shooting is done at dinner time. He says if he could only Chloroform the birds he would be all right. Barry is a good shot. His average at the range is mud. 'The hope of Spalling's side rests with "Stab." " Crews went shooting with Roxy, but did not think it necessary to put pow- der in the shells. He thought that a cap and shot were all that were neces- sary and Phil still wonders why the gun did not go off. Gal thinks that he is a shooter be- cause when on his holidays he and an Indian shot the Sault Rapids. "Say, Doc.," said Hinchley to that worthy, "Spalding is kicking as usual ; this time on the band; says that music always excites Malcolm. How about music having charms to soothe," &c. Bruce may have a steady nei ve when he gets after a bicuspid, but those clay gents r'equir'e mord grip than that. County Currency.

The lots are situated just in the rear of his resi- dence. A blind man named Frank Weiss was struck by an M. C. R. train at Montrose Junction on Wednesday and had both. broken. He was taken to his home. D. D. Wilson, of Seaforth, has a large force of men removing his stook of eggs from the pickle, and packing and shipping them to the old country.. He says the egg market is a good deal more satisfactory than last year. A meeting of the Executive of the East Huron Reform Association is called for to -day (Wednesday,) in the Town Hall, Brussels, at 1 p. m., to ar- • range for holding a nominating Con-• vention in the near future.
