W. IRWIN. Zawn 71, amts. HOLIDAYS. — The holidays of the year will occur on the followingdates: Friday, March 23; ueen's 'birthday, on Thursday; DominionDay,,. on Sunday; Christmas, on Tuesday. CHANCE FOE SOME ONE.—Mr Horace Newton, who for several years has conducted a successful business at Porter's Hill, is anxious to dispose of the same and is offering it for sale. This is a good chance for some one, as the point is an excellent stand. INCORPORATED.—Lettere of incor- poration have been granted by the Ontario Government, to the Clinton Gun Club; with a capital stock of $500. The following are the officers of the Club:—Pres., G. Hinchley; Vice -Pres., C. Doherty. Directors, Jos. White- head, John Spooner, Jas. Fair, jr.J. Mc- Murray; Lee, John Powell. Sec., John Treas., J. E. Blackall. STocx NOTES.—W, J. .Biggins re- ports recent sales from Elmhurst Farm as. follows:—Mr Robt. M. Ross, of Brucefield, Ont., has purchased Royal. Messenger=19147=an extra good calf for both substance and quali- ty, his dam is Matchless, of Elmhurst Tenth=18159=of the far famed Match- less family.

IN. THE WEST. — Mr Albert May, formerly of Clinton, but now living in Montana, in renewing his subscription says:—"Your paper is a welcome visit- or to our home every Tuesday even- ing, and feel we cannot do without it. Had I the time I would like to write you a few letters about this great country, but as we are so extremely busy, having two large bands of sheep, 5; steers feeding, and :from 175 to 225 hogs all the time in our feed lots to look after. We do a large wholesale business of live stock and dressed meats. Our winter has been very pleasant and mild, no storms, no ice put up yet; we look for spring weath- er in a few days. We are well and happy." [Write and send the letters] A GREEK PLAY.—The Globe, in its lengthy report of the Greek play of Antigone, in 'Toronto last week, thus refers to one part of it in which Rob. Coats, of town, figured:—"Mention should also he made of the two mess- sengers and the prophet's boy, The two former, Messrs Megan and Coats, in their rapid utterance and realistic acting out of the stories of which they were the bearers, were excellent re- presentations of the character of a mo- dern messenger. To us, who expect a messenger to tell his story in the few- est possible words, the long speeches of these messengers might seem tedi- ous and unnatural until we call to mind again that to the Greeks any ex- cuse for making a long speech was valid." PERSONAL.—The Morden, Manitoba, Herald, of last week, thus alludes to a son of Mr Jas. Keane, of Clinton, who is making a change owing, to the state of his health:—"At the Morden House, on Tuesday evening last, Mr and Mrs Brown gave a supper in honor of Mr Chas. Keane, zdho is about to depart to the sunny clime of the South. It is unnecessary to say that Mr Keane has always been a great favorite among the young people of the town of Mor- den, of which he has been. a resident for the space of eight years. After ample justice had been done to the good things provided by the hostess of the evening, Mr John A. McIntyre was called to the chair, and the toasts were responded to in a right good and royal manner, all ,present wishing him success and prosperity during the time of his absence from us." THE APPLE TRADE.—A meeting of apple exporters was held in Toronto last week, to discuss matters relating to the business. Messrs D. Cantelon and P. Cook, of Clinton, being among those present. An organization was formed, to be known as the "Canadian Apple Exporters," and Mr D. Cantelon chosen as one of the Executive Com- mittee. Commenting on the matter the Toronto Globe says:—"The action of the gentlemen interested in the ap- ple trade who met on Wednesday, in this city, is one that can be very heart- ily commerded. The apple crop of this Province might be made one of the most valuable productions of the soil. The quality of the fruit grown here cannot be surpassed. It is, how- ever, a delicate product, which re- quires careful handling to bring it to market in proper condition. An in- dispensable qualification is good keep- ing properties. Apples that have been roughly handled, even although natur- ally of the best keeping qualities, will speedily isc rendered worthless by de- cay. If the projected association can secure the grading of apples so that a purchaser in England or elsewhere would know that a barrel marked and.o No. 1 Ontario contained only prime Gilro• fruit there would be a perfect revolu- McKi tion in the apple -growing business. Orang Men would then find it worth their W. G. while to grow good fruit and have it who picked conscientiously, and handled of Mr carefully when picked. •A rigid in- H.
