Mr, Ethel,Newhas ,bo boughtdist theminister and lot belonging to the estate of the late Jno. Calbick. We believe it is his inten- tion to superannuate this year and make his home in Clinton. This is a good town for people who wish to re- tire, having excellent schools and churches, and being in addition one of the prettiest and healthiest places in Ontario. A FORMER CLINTONIAN PROMOTED. —The Kemptville Advance says:—J.A.

ACCIDENT.—Mr Geo. F. Emerson is unfortunate this season. He had not much more than got over the effects of his Kincardine accident, than he met with another just as bad or worse. • Last week while riding rapidly around near Gorrie, the fork of the bicycle broke, throwing him on his face. His left ear was almost torn from his head, one side of his face'was cut from crown to chin; his hands were cut, and he was rendered unconscious. After several days spent in bed his face became pre- sentable, and he is now transacting business as usual. CLINTON AS A PRODUCE CENTRE.— Theze are few places in Ontario where there exists as good a demand, and consequently high prices, for farmers' produce, as in Clinton. There is gene- rally a market here, for any quantity of butter and eggs,.. at satisfactory figures. Our local dealers (Cantelon Bros. in particular), all handle these products, and pay the highest prices for them. As a result, farmers are coming long distances to Clinton with produce. They find that encouraging prices rule and they make this their market. USE FORETHOUGHT..—Some of our citizens get into needless trouble in violating by-laws of the town, which a little care and enquiry would avoid. No one has a right to dig any drain on the street, or take soil or sod off the streets, without permiesion. Persons who wish to do things of this kind should first see the Chairman of the Street Committee,Mr McMurchie, who will instruct them how to proceed._ The caution also applies to persons who build and obstruct the streets or side- walks. They should first of all see the Inspector as to what they are to do. TEsmaRs.—There was a good at- tendance at the entertainment given by the members of Clinton Star lodge, last Friday evening. Rev. Mr Gribble, a past counsellor of Wales, was ap- pointed to the chair, and made an in- teresting address. The program er.- braced a quartette, also a humorous recitation by Mr J. Houston, instru- mental selection by Mr Yellowlees, re- citation by Miss Mabel Doherty, duet by Misses Goodwin and Smith, ad- dresses by Rev. W. Smyth and R. Holmes, solo by Miss Kinsman, dia- logues, a solo by Master Earle Seale, a ventriloquil talk( by Mr J.D.

They are not fixed or fastiened permanently in the pockets - but are suspended, yielding to every conceivable move, ment of the body; whether bending, sitting or stooping, and cannot penetrate the material of the corset.

If the corsets should hurt on the side;.a complaint so general to other corsets, the spring can be removed. This can be accomplished by simply raising the flaps and withdrawing as many springs as the wearer might find convenient.
