ty, of town, has rented his farm of 150
acres, being lot 28, 13th con. of Hullett,
to Mr Thos. Cole, for a-terral-Of—seven-
years; he has secured a good tenant
and Mr Cole has obtained an excellent,
farm.
PUBLIC MEETING.—A public meet-
ing is called for Monday evening, the
29th inst., at 8 p.m. sharp, in thb
Council Chamber, to consider steps to
be taken in order to secure the expen-
diture of a part of the proceeds of the
Stavely estate in Clinton.
PERSONAL.—The Brussels Post of
last week says: —"W. Taylor, Clinton,
General Agen c, for the Confederation
Life Association, was in Brussels and
locality this week, pushing life insur-
ance. He has had a wonderfully suc-
cessful run of business during the past
year. He represents an A 1 Company.
DELIGHTFUL WEATHER,.—The wea-
ther of the past week has been as fine
as at' any time during the summer,
Saturday in particular being a genial
day. So mild is the season that fruit
trees are blooming again, Mr W. Stev-
ens, of Hullett, having apple trees in
blossom, while splendid raspberries
were picked off Mr Farran's farm, and
/also by Mre. Trouse.
SAD AFFLICTION,—Mr A. Gorrell re-
ceived the sad information on Monday,
from his son Frank, who resides at
Oxbow, N.W.T., that be had lost two
daughters, within a few days of each
other, with black diphtheria. The
children were aged about 6 and 8 years
respectively. A son, aged 12, was also
at the pint of death at the time of
writing.
SERIOUSLY ILL.—Some time ago the
wife of Capt. McDonakl, of Porter's
Hill, came to town in order that she
d
might the better undergo medical
ee
treatment. She is stopping with her
daughter, Mrs Chas. Hanley, and has
0
been in a precarious condition, withco
slight hopes of her recovery, but we
a
understand has taken turn for the
better.
PROPERTY CHANGES — On Friday
last Mr Lack Kenna sold his
'pro-
perty on Victoria street,to Mr Alex.
R. Fraser, of town; the was the pro-
perty on which he had 1 t the contract
for a house for his own ccupation; he
is still likely to build, but it will °be
elsewhere. The cottage on Ratten-
burySt., east, occupie by Mr Her-
man, has been sold to J. . Doherty.

became THE BELL TELEPHONE.—Men are
engaged this week putting in more
fresh wire and poles in connection
with the Bell telephone. The poles
are 40 feet high, Well' put upand are
generally clear of the trees; the super-
intendent of construction has been
careful in his work and leaves no room
whatever for criticism. Since the'in-
troduction of the automatic wires and
a metallic switch -board, which does
away with all buzzing sounds, the
service is complete. Mr Rumball in-
forms us that the system never gave
better satisfaction than at present—
that you hear almost any distance,
and as distinct as if you were face to
, face with the person you are talking
with. When it works like this it is a
great convenience, and every business
man should have an instrument.
IMPROVEMENT. — The general pro-
gress of the town is this year much
better than last, and prospects for its
advancement are encouragingly bright-
, er. Last year property was almost
unsaleable, and there were several
empty house's; at the present time
there is really not a desirable house
empty, and properties changing hands
do so at fairly good figures. This is a
most encouraging sign, and we hope it
may continue. The erection ofthe
House of Refuge here will contribute
sone to the welfare of the town, and
it is not unlikely that there may be a
building boom here, certainly there is
a demand for houses that should be
supplied. Clinton's location gives it
advantages not possessed by any other
plate in the county, while: its beauty
and :healthfulnessmake it a desitab e
place to reside.We have: ,all the chief
advantages of a eittyr-echobie, elf arches,
16ht`r 'Ing faoilitles, etc.,=--wi�t'hout the
of city life::
POSTAL MATTERS.— O change of
postmaster here calls upsome reminis-
cences connected with th office. Many
years ago, before Clinton existed, the
post office was located on the old Dr.
Cole farm, 2 miles west of town, and
the late Richard Thwaites was posts,
master. Some time after
the office of
postmaster was offered o Mr E. Din-
sley, and the papers made out for
"Rattenbury's Corners,"but he de-
clined"the offer, and rec mmended Mr
Gordon,. who kept store at that tithe.
After Gordon had the position some
time, the late T. Fair postthas-
er.
THE CLINTON • NEW ERA
cuinstance of this kind happened one
day last week, when a stray steer ate
so much that it killed itself. Mr Rana-
ford did not know who IV belonged to,
but the owner can have the hide b ." , ,.ras, , _r.•. .
indentifying it, . " . .
DisATH or Mia Fovrialilph--The older
residents of this town :are faetpassin
away, to give place -to :the younger
generation. • Mr Samuel Fowler ie
the last. one to be added to the list, hie
death occurring on Wednesday. De-
ceased was a very quiet, retiring citi-
zen, and ,hats"beet i In failing health for
solus time; he was of Quaker stock,
and like the most of these people, was
thoroughly conscientious and upright.
Until his hearing failed he was a most
regular attendant on the services" of
Rattenbury street church, And took
much •interest therein. He was a na-
tive of Doncaster, 'York, and -came to
this country when a mere boy; going
west he located in Chicago, when it
was little more than an Indian trading
post, and left there because he thought
it would never amdunt to anything;
he also spent some time in what is
now St. Paul, Minn., before it enjoyed
railway facilities. Coming to Clinton
about 20 years ago,he opened a jewel-
lery bi stness, which was afterwards
continued by his son Thomas, now of
Galt. Be leaves also one son and
daughter here. The funeral tltkes
place to -day (Friday) at 2.30 pan.
DEATH OF MR JOSEPH MILLS.—
somewhere about a year ago Mr Jos.
W. Mills suffered an attack of grip,
and although he rallied therefrom he
never recovered, and has ever since
been in failing health, until Tuesday
morning, when death became his por-
tion. He was born at Little Falls, N.
Y., and, with his parents, moved to
Quebec, when but a child. They then
moved to McKillop in the year 1853,
and entered on a settler's life. For a
number of years he resided in Stanley
township, where he had bought a
farm, but on renting his farm he came
to Clinton to reside, and was for a
considerable time—about 20 years—
a respected resident of this town.
Subsequently he took up his residence
with his son-in-law, Mr W: Shipley, of
the Huron read, where his death took
place. He has been a faithful member
of the Methodist church for many
years, and while never specially active
in public affairs, gave his support to
the Liberal cause; his wife and one
daughter—Mrs Shipley—survive him.
By industry he had accumulated con-
siderable property, and he was regard-
ed as a thoroughly upright and honor-
able citizen. He was a brother of
John Mills, Hullett, and Thos. Mills,
Bluevale.

of Clinton, was married on Wednes-
day at Melvin, Mich. On Saturday
night while Mr Israel Taylor was com-
ing into town on his bicycle, a buggy
collided with him and smashed his
front wheel; it was doubtless an acci-
dent, but drivers should remember
the law has decidedthat bicycles have
the very same rights on the road as
other vehicles, and damages can be re-
covered for injuries sustained. Mr G.
D. McTaggart is in Tor onto this week.
At a sale in Tuckersrnith last week, a
team of fairly good working horses

Toronto, who died this week, was a
relative, by marriage, of Messrs R. and
J. Ransford. The music of the town
band, on Saturday night, was much
appreciated, the crowd listening there-
to being an evidence of that. The
election of officers takes place to -night
in the I.O.G,T. lodge, and a full attend-
ance is especially desired. Mr T. Jack-
son, jr., is this week at Toronto. Mr
