Tips SH0uLD TAKE. — Among the
attractions that will -be (offered at the
Public School entertainment, . which
takes place on the 25th inst., will be
a chorus by the trustees, or rather a
, quartette.
NOT DEOIDED.—Mr R. J. Tuffts, of
Belgrave, was in town for a short time
on Saturday. In conversation con-
cerning the future of the Grand Union
Hotel, Clinton, Mr Tuffts said it was
not yet decided who would riin it, as
there were several applicants for it.
AOCIDENT.—An eight-year old son of
Mr John Ford'met with a serious ac-
cident on Tuesday. While playing on.
a gate he ;fell headforemost to the
ground, rendering him unconscious;
and it was a considerable time before
he rallied. No bones wer e broken, and
although he is recovering he is still not
out of danger.
WILL PIP$ IT.—In order to properly
water the Cricket -Tennis crease on the
Park, the club have arranged with Mr
James Fair for a supply of water, and
will • lay a pipe to connect with one at
the head of the pond, running it
underground, so that it will not in any
way interfere with. the Park. • The
Park committee has given permission
for the work to be done, subject to ap-
proval of two of its members.
FOOTBALL.—The Collegiate Institute
football team went to Seaforth, on
Saturday, accompanied by a number
of their friends, when an exciting game
was played with the Collegiate team of
that place for the Hough Cup. Sea -
forth has always been strong on foot-
' ball, but our boys were in hopes they
could get ahead of them, but in ,this
they were unsuccessful, the score
standing Seaforth 2, Clinton 1.
APPOINTED.—A Vancouver telegram'
says:—"Lieut. Col. Holmes, who was
acting deputy adjutant -general of this
district, before C. Battery was order-
' ed east, will be appointed warden of
the provincial jail, in place of Mr R. F.
John, who is to be pensioned. At
present Col. Holmes is deputy adjut-
ant at Winnipeg. Col. Holmes is the
son of Mr Josiah Holmes, of St. Catha-
rines, a veteran of the 19th Battalion, "
who was in active service during the
Fenian raid." [He is a cousin of R.
Holmes, of town.}
THE CEMETERY.—The action of the
Council in appointing a permanent
caretakers, is evidently a wise proce-
dure, and Mr Reynolds, the caretaker,
is doing his best to improve the appear-
ance of the grounds. There is a great
deal of work to be done, which will re-
quire considerable time, and the co-
operation of lot -holders, yet Mr Rey-
nolds has already made marked im-
provement. Parties are at liberty to
Improve their own lots, subject to the
approval of the caretaker, but we be-
lieve they will find it more satisfactory
all round to allow the caretaker to do
the work, and pay- him the fees fixed
by council for such work. - -
NOT ALWAYS THE CABS.—A little
circumstance occurred the other day
showing that water will not always
run down hill, 'unless the circumstances
are favorable. Mr Joshua Hill, of the
baseline, has put in•a hydraulic ram at
the river, which forces the water up
hill into a barrel, ,a flow -off pipe in the
barrel runs down hill. In testing the
apparatus the other day it worked like
a charm,and satisfied that everything
was all right, the barrel was headed up
air tight. Shortly afterwards it was
found the flow -off pipe was not work-
ing, and it was some time before it
was discovered that making the barrel
*air -tight was the case of the trouble.
HOUSE OF REFUGE.—Last week the
County Council members of the House
of Refuge ,Committee inspected the
Woodstock arld Simcoe institutions of
this nature. On Wednesday they
went to Goderich to insect the sites
offered for a House ofd Refuge, and
also inspected the sites offered in this
vicinity. They then held a meeting to
consider the claims of the various sites
offered, and after Cully considering
them all, decided on recommending the
50 acres owned by Mr John Pickett, on
the east side of the London Road, a
mile below town. This site is. perhaps,
no better than several others that were
offered to the committee, but the faci-
lities for drainage are much superior,
while the price is also more reasonable.
The location is decidedly advantageous,
being in sight of both railroads, not far
from a station, on a splendid road, and
as pretty a place as could be selected.
As the committee were empowered to
prepare plans they have decided on
having a survey and profile made of
the place, showing the proposed loca-
tion of the various buildings required,
and will then advertise for plans and
specifications, the architect whose
plane are subsequently adopted, to re-
ceive $100 therefor. The estimated ex-
penditure for buildings is between
$8,000 and $10,000, which are to ac-
commodate 75 inmates, • The commit-
tee will reportto the June meting of
the County Colwell, and it is to be sin-
cerely hoped that their report will be
adopted and work proceeded with with-
out delay.

ed. Sermons on Sunday were preach

listened to with evident pleasure an
profit by large audiences on both occa and the very cordial greetin

Comparison's the only way to judge the truth of what we
claim for our Hosier department ---that is ---no stock's
better, few to equal, and prices for the same qualities
lower than anywhere else.
The greater part of Black Cotton Hosiery sold in this country
is made and dyed in Germany, all that is a fast and stain -
les black is.
In buying our Hosiery for this season's trade, we did as the
wholesale houses do, bought direct from the manufac-
turer, by so doing saving the wholesaler's profit. They
came to us direct from Cemnitz,Saxony, the great centre
of the German Hosiery trade, and we have no middle
man's profit to pay, which enables us to quote closer pri-
ces and give better goods for the same money than last
year.
Every pair is dyed by Louis' Hermsdorf, and we guarantee
them fast and stainless.
Here are a few Sample Prices:
Ladies' full fashioned Fast Black Hose 12i cents
Ladies' fine all wool Cashmere Hose, summer weight,
regular 35 cent quality 25 cents
Fine Cotton Hose, full fashioned, double heel and toe,
extra value 25 cents
Very fine Lisle Thread Hose 47 cents
Children's fast Black Cotton Hose starting at 9 cents
for small sizes.
Boys' Ribbed Hose in all sizes with double knees, heels
and soles.

THE TENDENCY to over
estimate the real value of
goods in • advertisements is
very marked.. Therefore we
have made it a study to never
state in print what is not back-
ed up by facts, and herein lies
the astonishing success of our
Ready -for -use Clothing.
In $10 Suits this year, the
cloth, trimmings and make are
superior to any previous sea-
son.
Our $7 Suits are also vast-
ly improved in quality of ma-
terial and make.
The great $2 Trousers defy
competition, being °cheaper
than overalls in proportion to

$3 Pants this year show a
marked improvement in value
A point to remember in
buying our Clothing, we make
all our Men's Clothing on the
premises, and the fit and fin-
ish are vastly superior to or-
