East Huron Gazette says:—THE CLIN-
ToN NEws-RECORn is going ahead by
jumps and bounds these days. The
other day it cable out with a delicious-
ly clean face audit now has that ruddy,
animated glow in every column which
indicates the very healthy prosperity
which its business energy merits.
"The Hub" ought to be proud of its
two grand local papers.
THE PRICE OF WOOD.—On the Clin-
ton market just now short hardwood
in small quantities finds purchasers at
$2 a cord. For contract lots, 10,15 and
20 cords, the price paid has been from
$,1.75 to $1.90, the average being $1.85.
There is an immense amount of wood
in the country. With good roads the
ruling price will be about $1.00 a cord.
Cordwood runs from $3.25 to $3.50.
These figures are for first-class beech
and maple.
AN OLD TRICK.—The London Free
Press says of a young woman not un-
known in Clinton:—Maggie Kennedy, a
young woman whose pareiits reside at
Seaforth, is in jail at Brantford charged
with vagrancy. She has led a very
fast life, and was concerned in an
escapade at one of the leading hotels in
this city some time ago. When a con-
stable went to the cell to remove the
girl fromail, he found her bleeding at
the mouth, but examination revealed
the fact that she had resorted to au old
trick of pricking her gums in order to
get sent to the hospital. She was told
that the scheme would not work and
was conveyed once more to the jail.
HIGH SCHOOL BoAnn.—Met Friday
evening. Present—chalrnran James
Scott, and Trustees W. Jackson,
Plumsteel, Foster, Stevenson and Dr.
Shaw. Accounts were ordered paid as
follows :—McMurray & Wiltse, sup-
plies, 90c.; Beesley & Co., supplies, $1;
John Bean, 25pairs swinging curbs and
11 pairs dumb bells, $9; D. Gardiner,
repairs, $1; THE NEws-RECORD, print-
ing, $3.50. On motion of Stevenson
and Foster the matter of moving stove
pipes and putting on storm sashes was
referred to property committee. On
motion of Foster and Dr. Shaw the
chairman and principal were appointed
a committee to prepare and- send out
au annoncement for the term com-
mencing January next. Adjourned.
OUR LOCAL RULERS.—Mr. Editor—
Dear Sir,—I notice by THE NEws-
RECORD of the 15th that some one, will
this week be talking about "municipal
affairs and old and young men." I sun
an humble elector and have only one
vote. I love the old town of Clinton
and have in view its prosperity. Our
town council has been a good one. A
ruore competent or painstaking official
than Mayor McTaggart our town has
never had. If progress has not been
made, the fault is not his. The execu-
tive—the chair—is not expected to
formulate progressive schemes, intro-
duce and carry them. As an executive,
Mayor McTaggart can have few equals
and no superiors. I do not look for
pposition to hirer this year. While I
ave said the Council has been a good
ie, I do not mean that we could not
ve a better one. The Reeve has filled
position fairly well. One fault I
c1 is that he has too much money

ADVERTIZE YOUR WANTS,—'During
the last couple of weeks we have had
fully half a dozen persons on as many
occasions call at THE NEWS -RECORD
office to inquire about town property
to let or for sale. As our columns are
the only media by which we are sup-
posed to know of any such matters we
could give them but scant informaiion.
We had, however, noticed "To Let" on
several premises and we directed the in-
quirers accordingly. The signs still
hang out. THE NEws-REcoRD is one
of the very best means the public can
use to make their wants known. There
is always unoccupied property to let
here, but it remains so, as strangers
have only the local papers to rely upon,
and they give little or no sign.
UNRELIABLE SIGNS.—It is claimed as
one of the signs of an approaching hard
winter that the robins left us very
early this fall. Now, if there is one
• spendthrift bird more than another it
is the robin. So long as a single berry
hangs on the Mountain Ash trees in
the fall, there will he found a robin
prepared to eat it, but just as soon
as all the berries are off the trees
the robins depart. In the spring they
come hack starved and hungry and are
not above picking up the berries lying
on the ground, which in their fall pro-
digality they knocked down. 'They
have the trees well stripped this fall,
and what the gross -beak Is going to do
should a severe winter drive him south,
is a puzzle. There is b singular con-
trast in feeding between these birds,
the robin eats the flesh of the berry,
throwing otit the seed, while on the
contrary the gross -beak eats the seeds
and throws away the flesh. The plenti-
f;ulness of nuts this fall is also accepted
as a sign that nature has tried to make
provision for squirrel and blue jay life
during a hard winter. This may hold
good Of some sections, hut here the
beech nut crop was anything but a
heavy one and chipmoncs rely on them
when they are to bo lot. The red
squirrels are largely independent so
tong as they can get spruce and pine
^.ones. Nowhere are the red squirrels
more plentiful than in Muskoka, and
there there are no other nuts than the
beech, and only a year now and again
that there are any of them, the late
spring frosts killing the blossoms. But
the red squirrels thrive and many a
hunter would go crazy from loneliness
as he spent day after day on some
favorite runway if it was not for the
inquisitive cheerfulness of these s9uir-
3tels and their two legged companions,
,-Whiskey-Jack,, or venison hawk.

Our aim is to give our.eustomers First Class Goods for very little
money. We tnark our goods down to a bare living profit and
have but one price. We do not advertise any big Discount Sale
to draw trade, for every Intelligent person knows what that
means. When a firm advertises in that way it is quite easy to
understand what they do. They simply add to their regular price
the percentage that they intend to take off. This ie a fact that
has been proven in the so•called great discount sales.
