VERS' EARLY, The very spring-
likeweather of last week ,induced a
number of farmers to begin spring
Work, and plowing was somewhat'gen-
eral. We understand that Mr Joseph
Allanson took time by theforelock and
did his spring gardening. There's no-
thing like being early, but the_suddenchange of weather may materially al-
ter circumstances.
•
NEW DRUG STORE.—Messrs Allan &
Wilson have rented the premises of
-. Mr,Searle and intend starting a pre-
scription drug store therein as soon as
it is fitted.up. •Mr Wilson is at present
running a store in Goderich, and Mr
Allan has for several years been man-
ager of a drug business. The new firm
• will doubtless "put a hustle on" and
endeavor to secure a share of trade.

Londesboro. F. Watts and T. Jackson,
sr., are representing the Sons of Eng-
land at the Grand Lodge meeting rn
the same city; and Mr A. M. Todd is at
Chatham attending the meeting of
the Orange Grand Lodge.
DEATH.—Some two or three months
ago Mr McKay, teacher at Rodgerville,
moved here with his wife and two
children, in order that he might at-
tend the Collegiate. His wife, who
had been in delicate health, became
worse, and he gave her all his atten-
tion, relinquishing his scholastic pur-
• poses.. On Saturday morning she sud-
denly passed away, although a short
before she had been able to be up. The
remains were taken to Dungannon for
interment, where her friends reside.
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE.—Last week
Mr George Longman, of Londesboro,
advertised in the NEW ERA a couple of
-cows _for sale, and.-found-a-pur•ciraser
shortly after the paper was issued.
Tyndall Bros. advertised a quantity of
seed grain for sale, in the NEW ERA,
and the demands were greatly in e --
cess of the supply. Mr H. Newton, of
Porter's Hill, advertised his business
frr sale in the NEW ERA, and found a
purchaser through:this medium. in the
person of Mr Elias Potter, of Holmes-
ville. It pays to advertise, and espe-
cially in the NEW ERA. -
SHIPPING PRODUCE.—Cantelon Bros.
are doing a large business in produce,
particularly butter and eggs; their
trade connections becoming more ex-
tensive. yearly. A large amount of
their produce is being shipped to Win-
niipeg and• the Maritime Provinces.
We presage for the firm a much larger
business this year than formerly. the
export of these articles of produce
from our town is a great benefit to the
farmers surrounding it. They are
shipping an average of about 1000 lbs.
of butter a week now, and from fifteen
to twenty hundred dozen of eggs,
which represents considerable of an
export trade. -
• THE OLDEST RESIDENTS IN HURON..
—Reference is often made to "the old-
est inhabitant," but we doubt if half -a -
dozen people in the county have any
idea as to who are actually the oldest
residents here. The NEW ERA be-
lieves that it is in a position to settle
this point definitely, and gives the
names of four gentlemen whom it has
reason to believe are entitled to the dis-
tinction. Sheriff•Gibbons, Henry and
Horace Horton, of Goderich, and Wm.
Yerting, OT Carlow. These gentlemen
have been residents of the county for
over 60 ybars, and the honor of being
the actual oldest resident must be
divided between the three first -named.
When Mr Young arrived at Goderich
—after walking all the way from
Guelph—they had just commenced to
clear it. All the gentlemen named are
in a fairly good state of health, and
may yet live to enjoy many years of
activity.
A PDPIILAR RAILWAY MAN.—The
following, from the Globe of Monday,
refers to a native of Clinton, whose
mother at present resides on Huron
St., and "AI's" many friends here are
pleased to learn of his advancement
and popularity. The Globe says:—
Mr Allan F. Read, Assistant District
Freight Agent of the Grand Trunk
Railway, who is leaving to take the
foreign steamship agency of the G. T.
R. at Montreal, was presented with
an address and a purse of $600 in gold
on change at the Board of Trade on
Saturday,by the members of the board
and the members of the railway staff.
Mr Hdgh Blain, the President of the
board, made the presentation in a few
well-chosen happy expressions; in
which he voiced the general feelin • of
the members as to the amity that had
always existed between Mr Read and
the liminess men of the board, with
whom he had been constantly brought Noi
in contact, and the manner in which con
he had always done his utmost, to pro- ( h
mote their interests, so tier as they re- son
Intel to the important department exp
with which he was connected. Mr Dr;
Blain in a few appropriate Words ex- tow
pressed the hope that Mr Read would gen
nehieve f mthor success in the impor- com
tant position he was about to assume, in
.and-told..hirn--the best. Wishes—of-the Iii
memhers of the ' board for his welfare' be n
wonld follow hint. at

A Groep SUOWING,—In connection
' with aentleman• the other• day, who
pas to do with the administration of
hjustice in Huron, be stated that there
ad pot. been a crime eomniitted in the
ConutY and eupplemg ed itheoh

Won of the term that-. would bring it
before the county judges or the . as..
sizes. This is a very 't oflitable show,
ing indeedifor a county -QS) large as this
one.
RATHER AwwWARD;•-A rather awk-
ward circumstance occurred at a
wedding, which took . place in this vi-
cinity recently. Just about the time
the ceremony was to be performed the
luckless groom discovered that he had
left the license in the pocket of a coat
that was hanging in lis bedroom, sev-
eral miles away. There was nothing
to do but hasten a messen er after the
missing document, and kiime till he
got back, after which every hing went
"merry as a marriage bell,"
Two MILLION MILES D'Y RAIL,—The
Toronto Globe thus alludes to a person
well-known in this section:—A Globe
representative interviewed Conductor
Daniel Holmes, of the G. T. Railway,
a few days since,• and his experience is
so unique as to merit a brief reference.
He entered the service of the Northern
on May 3rd, 1894, he will hav&
Railway May 3rd, 1$54, and, tli� efore,
com-
pleted forty years of unbroken s vice.
After running on the Northern two
years he entered the employ of the
Buffalo, Brantford ce Lake Huron,
where he remained seven years, going
thence to the Great Western Railway.
His present run is from Suspension
Bridge to London. At one period
"Dan" ran twelve years without a lay-
off. For 30 years the run averaged
165 miles every day in the week, and it
is easy to compute that fully 2,000,000
miles have been traversed during this
work of more than an average genera-
tion, and this equals journeying around
the earth 80 times. "I never injured
a passenger, and never had but one
accident, and that was due to a mis-
take of a telegraph operator," was Mr
Holmes' concluding remark, and he
went on in the discharge of his duty,
with all the keenness of vision and en-
ergy of earlier years. ,
NATES.—It is not often that the sell-
ing price of peas goes beyond that of
wheat, but last week seed peas sold
here at 65c a bushel, which is higher
than the price of wheat. Mr McCool,
Albert St., is about to made consider-
able improvement to his residence; Mr
S. S. Cooper has the contract. Mr J.

take charge of the branch store they are
for a time running there, and Mr Bert
Hodgens returned to Clinton this week.
Mr Ab. Switzer left for Detroit on
Monday morning,where he goes for the
purpose ofreggistering_-with A, Medical.
cillege; he will return in a day or two
and enter on his studies with Dr.
Gunn, going back to Detroit in Octo-
ber next. The Morden, Man., Herald
says:—"Mr John J. Mitchell, of Au-
. burn, Ont., was in town on business for
'the past few days." The town flag has
bknflyingathalf-mast since Monday,in
respect to the,iate Joseph Whitehead.
It is Mr Richard Brigham, of Londes-

wife and children; •'Jack" is a popular

states that times are yet very dull
there. All the butchers of town pur-
pose making their customary display
of Easter meats next week. Mr Geo.
Potts has been decorating the ceiling
and interior of Wilson & Howe's store.
Mr D. Cantelon shipped two car loads
of hogs this week, one from Goderich,
and the other from Blyth; Mr Cantelon
appears to he making a success in this
new departure of his shipping business.
The Moosejaw Times thus alludes to a
former Stanley boy :— "Mr Neil J.,Gil-
mour has been engaged as teacher of
the Sturgeon River school, near Ed-
monton, for the ensuing year." A car
load of ashes were shipped from here
to New York this week. The electric

A Brief Descriptive Sketch.
The Styles in Millinery this Spring buve brought into • prominence
such a wide range of shapes and patterns that it seems incredible that any
lady's head should be unbecomingly dressed.
The Bonnets are all very small but are greatly diversified in shapes
and maintain their popularity with the ladies probably because they give
the Bair the best chance of display and do not derange the -downy frizzes
that so gracefully sncircle the forehead. Perhaps also the very high esteem
in which they are held in English Court circles has created a wage of favor
for them that has rolled across the ocean and intensified their popularity
here. At any rate the favorite adornment of the crowned beads of England
is also chosen by a host of .Canada's daughters to adorn their crowns.
As to hat shapes there is literally no end to their variety. Flat brims,
aved-up brims, slashed and contorted brims, Rembrandts, Amazons,
ricorners, Sailors and Turbans of every description all are rivals for public
aver.
• WALEING HATS have taken a brisk start and appear in larger sized
atterns than formerly.
Black satin were -f: a nes, covered with plaitings of silk illusion, nets,
uipur•e and other laces, with jet bands and piquets, have taken a wide space
vlilliner•s' preparations for Toques ard Bonnets. Another new feature
wire frames is the various colored satin crowns. Leghorns flats with
en work straw,bent into shapes and trimmed with lace, flowers or plumes
nd ribbons, appeal to the admiring eyes of Misses and children.
In straw braids there is great variety in chips, satins and fancies such as
orn busk, Swiss and Tuscan. One of the latest novelties in straw is the
ateau "Czarine" designed in Paris. It differs from the ordinary plateau
being made in circular grooves and in being very pliable and is pinched
and bent into innumerable shapes without destroyi sg the original design,
In SILK GOODS Moire and Satin are the leaders, and ribbons show a
eater variety of patterns. Plain ribbons are mostly double faced, while
cy patterns are simple in design and chiefly composed of dots, stripes
d small flowerets in a lighter shade, The Alsatian bow is perched on
ally ev• Fat nd t =e.er _ ,.spa-asRthe-new wrinkle for frilling,` `

- Lace migtbbl3"
t designated,.•as olaiTnIiTit for the very front rank in trim-
ngs and black white and colors are each scrambling for first place; Ivory
int, Venetian, Chantilly, Bruges and Bayeux as well as guipures are all
it .
FLOWERS are found in profusion on all the hats and every garden
orite bas discovered a corner for itself;
Ostrich tips have refused to be crowded from their throne and are
nd standing around on the hat brims wherever they can find a footing,
tbout showing the slighest preference for position.
The prevailing colors are white, cream, pink, wood, mordore, bluish
ays, fresh greens, opbilia, a little of the poppy red and the whole series
' light yellow, wheat, maize and straw.
We have attempted only a meagre doscsiption of tbo patterns and styles
millinery that are candidates for your favor. You will have an oppor-
nity c,f seeing them in their beauty and they will be glad to speak for
emsolves at our opening on Saturday, March 2 tth•
