BUSINESS CHANGE.—Messrs Wilson & Howe have disposed of their restaur- ant and confectionary business to Messrs Jas. McClacherty, jr., and A. Jaekson,who took possession yesterday Both are young men well known here. GUY BROS. Mater-Rms.—This fa- mous Company are booked for Monday, Nov. 12th, and it is safe to say that they will meet with their usual crowd- ed house. They are•larger and bigger than ever, and are meeting with won- derful success through Ontario, This is their fifth annual trip, and their , w ,; show gets better every year. PERSONAL.—Mr Thos. Boles, Supt. 0.0.11.0., Toronto, has been spending Shidays the ey. He is a brotheros of Mrs J. Wm. Mills, but was prevented from attend- ''ing the funeral of her late husband, ' owing to hispresence being required at Brantford in the celebrated Hartley trial, on behalf of the Order. •✓ A LITTLE BEAUTY. —One of the fin- est specimens of the genuine gray squirrel ever seen in this vicinity was shot on Saturday by Mr W. Foster. It is as large as a good-sized kitten, with a tail nearly a foot long and seve- ral inchee,.broad. Mr Foster will have thenlf'rnmounted. Mr Jos. Rattenburyshot a similar one, evidently its mate, a couple of weeks ago. NARROW ESCAPE.—The other day three of our local nimrods went out into the country for a day's shooting. They were all comfortably seated in a rig, but in sharply turning a corner, were thrown out. One of the guns, which was a sort of hammerless breech- loader, was discharged by the concus- sion, and it was fortunate that no one was hurt beyond the severe bruises re- ceived on the roadway. RE-ENGAGED.—The Public School Trustees have re-engaged all the pre- sent staff, for the ensuing year, and in so doing have shown their apprecia- tion of the faithful services of the teachers. Mr Lough was offered an increase to his salary, but declined it, owing to the stringency of the times, and the difficulty with which school monies are raised. This is particularly commendable on his part, as everyone - familiar with the duties of Principal of a`school-like -that-of;fli ntun,nows that he is not overpaid for the work performed. WEDDING.—An• event which has ,for - some time been anticipated, took place at the home of A. McMurchie, Esq., Reeve, on Wednesday, it being the marriage of his e*lest daughter, Agnes, to Dr. Robert Agnew, of town. Only the immediate friends were present, and the services of bridesmaid and groomsman were dispensed with. Rev A. Stewart performed the ceremony. Dr. Agnew and wife are well known here, and hath enjoy the esteem of all. Quite ft crowd gathered at the station remid the afternoon, too see thein off on tifheir wedding tour. FO,RANOTHER YEAR.—It is just a yea# since Mr W. Taylor, jr., has ac- cepted the position of county repre- sentative for the Confederation Life ' Insurance Company, and last week Mr Taylor was re-engaged for another year,.at an advanced salary, the head ,,,_____ofacials exp ssing much ple,asure at The satisfact work he had done. When Mr Tay or was first engaged, the NEW ERA prophesied that he would be found the right man in the right place, an opinion that has appa- rently proved correct. The Confedera- tion Life is one of the best companies in the Dominion. A SATISFACTORY ARRANGEMENT.— Mr Porter, finding the work in Clinton post office much greater than he had anticipated, and realizing the impossi- bility of performing it to the satisfac- tion of the public and the department, without expert assistance, has secured for a year, the services of Mr W. D. Fair and his sister. Mr Fair,we under- stand, is to have full control of the office, but, of course, under Mr Porter's supervision. This is an arrangement that will prove thoroughly satisfactory a 'to -the public,we are sure, and, we have no doubt, will be to Mr Porter's inter- est, as it is an assurance that the du- ties will be discharged with the same regularity and reliability as hitherto. THE COLLEGIATE. — An adjourned meeting of the Collegiate Institute Board was held Thursday evening, Oct. 25th. The following accounts wer' ordered to be paid: --J. H. Combe ' ''"'r Ml EstateW. H. Hine $3.62; Estate John Hodg -no 92.40, A letter was re- ceived from Misses Flo and Mary Hine expressing their appreciation of the kind treatment the late Mr Hine had received from the board during the many years in which he acted as Sec- retary -Treasurer, and also expressing thanks for the sympathy shown them in the time of their bereavement. In- spector Hodgson visited the lnstitute on Sept. 20tin and 21st. His report of the school has just been received, and is a most gratifying one. He declares the organization and discipline of the Institute to be excellent, and states that the time table is so arranged as to give justice to all subjects, and that the division of duties among teachers is satisfactory. His estimate of the teaching work affords special gratifi- cation to both the public and the teach. ing staff, for he gives to every teacher in the'lnetitute,the hi hest grading it isy po eible to receive iss highly fav we report c1 • . i he statin ent to Inn r..i w. ingpro`ved AN OBJECT or SYMPATHY.—We Un- derstand that an Mort is shortly to be made to raise funds, by subscription, I for the purchase of an artificial leg for Mr Robt. Brown, who had the nusfor- tune to lose his foot in a hay press. It is evidently a deserving case, and he will thus be in a better position to pro- vide for himself and family. The leg will cost between $75 and $100. A I'ORB FACTORY.—Mr John Parke,. of London, was in town on Tuesday, to see what the prospects are for the establisnment of a pork packing indus, try here. 'lie claims to be a practical mean of many years' experience, and has a good offer for'. stock in the old country. He expressed himself,, as very well pleased with the prospects here, thought there was an excel- lent opening, and left the impression that at an early day he would go into bushels. . THE ..BLACK NNXQ'T.—Rev. J. H. Hector, who is known throughout the lengthand breadth of the land as "the Black Knight," and is one of the -most interesting and distinguished of colored orators, will occ py the pulpit of Rat- tenb ry street c rcb, on the mnorning of Sunday, Nov. , and the pulpit of Ontario street church onthe evening of the same day. On the evening of Monday, Nov. 12. he will deliver a lec- ture in Ontario street church, and on tIae;eyening of Tuesday, he will lecture in Rattenbury street church. W1LD CAT SHOT.—On Wednesday morning, while Mr R. VanEgmond, of the Huron road, was at work, he was more than surprised to see a large wild cat deliberately walk across an open field a few rods away from him. Not having a rifle, he drove to town and in formed some of the local nimrods, but they laughed at him, and thought he had mistaken a dog for a wild -cat. However, Mr Ben Tomlinson, who is a crack shot, was only too glad of a I chance to try his skill, and he went a cut with Mr VanEgmond, and was rewarded by a sight of the animal, which he brought down with the first shot. It was a fine specimen, and would weigh in the neighborhood of 50 lb. Its mate, which is supposed to be in the same .locality, has not yet beed captured. These animals are ex- •ceeding rare in this section. CHANGING QUARTERS.—Just at pre- sent quite a number of townspeople are changintheir cesMr G. Flintoff has moved fintoidenceMr E.

TON NEW ER, We Give You Nothing for Your Money Except your money's worth. Are you not satisfied with that? Plump value for every dollar you leave here is what we always endeavor to give, and whenever there's an opportunity to do even a little better than usual for you, we invariably do it. There is another thing we do not do, that is, ask one, two or three dollars more, as the case may be, for an article than we intend to take for it, taking the high price if you are willing to pay it, but if you banter a little coming down in our price. Everything is marked as close as possible, and once marked the price stands. If for any reason it should be lowered, it is lowered for all, We have one price, that is the lowest, and it is the same for the child as for the experienced shopper, It is the only right way to do business, and fair dealing to one and all will allow no other method. We sell for ready money or pro duce only, because it means we have no bad debts and their accom- panying losses, no credit accounts to pay some one to look after; nothing but so much merchandise or its equivalent in money. YQU reap the advantage in lower everyday prices, and we can afford to ac- cept a lower average of profit. Our prices prove this conclusively. Est. J.
