GRAND CARNIVAL. — The carnival which was to have been held at the Palace Rink, Clinton, on Friday even- ing of Hest week, was unavoidably post- poned until last evening. A nice list of prizes was arranged and posters issued. The brass band was also announced. Unfortunately the weather has been anything, but favorable and of course this means a great loss to the enterpris- ing managers, Messrs. Cook & Cole. Good skating cannot be had without the necessary sharp weather. How- ever, things might have been worse than they were for last evening. A report win be given next week. AN AWKWARD JOKE.—Delegates to the Presbyterian meeting in Clinton the other day were bileted and their wants carefully looked after. The bead .of the house where one of the delegates put up was unable to be pre- sent at dinner time. As a rule he was punctual at meal time. The good wife was apologising for the absense of her husband, but could not just say what caused the delay. "Oh, mamma," said a bright little prattler, "I know the reason ; papa don't like preachers." Consternation seemed to take hold of the good wife, but the delegate was not the least annoyed. -The absence of the head of the house was loon accounted for. He had been detained in a perfectly legitimate way. The innocent joke was, however, somewhat awkward just at the time. THOUGHTS EVOLED FROM A SUNDAY RAMBLE.—Oh, woman 1 thou who, through the abundance of thy wealth, art enabled to occupy an ele- vated position, when thou meetest thy sister woman, with whom thou art acquainted, even though ever so slight- ly, bow gracefully. That little, scorn- ful nod is unbecoming thee. 'Tis art, high art, but nature shudders at the sight of it. The clouds of heaven move harmoniously, The smoke curtain soft undulations from the chimney tops. • The trees gracefully wave their arms above thee ; and thou, why dost thou offend na- ture by thine awkward movement? Why that abbreviated nod? it lacketh grace, and rnaketh thee to look as though the Maker's work was incom- plete in thee. " When again thou driv- est out 0 ! woman, take thought of the stately trees, how they bow to all beneath then` ; even the lowly stones and grass at their feet, and when thou bowest, bow gracefully.—CLARA H. MOUNTCASTLE. OUR HE;AIMH OrFICER.—As stated last week, the report of the Medical Health Officer, Dr. Shaw, was read at the last council meeting. Councillor Armstrong spoke in eulogistic terns of the report and the other members of the council concurred. Dr. Shaw has proven a very efficient officer. The report reads:—"Your Health Officer for the past year has much pleasure in reporting that the notices sent out by him in the spring, through the In- spector, were pretty generally obeyed, with the result that the town is in as good, if not a better, sanitary condi- tion than ever before. The only epi- demic being • a mild one of typhoid fever, only one case proving fatal, this result is no doubt due to the care oh- o served to procure good sanitation. In those places where typhoid originated, your Inspector and Health Officer examined carefully and in almost every case found the true cause, or at least sufficient reason to justify saying so, and at once took steeps to remedy the evil, with the result that the fever was stayed. Eighteen specimens of town water within the fever districts were analysed, chemically and micriscopi- caliy, some being pronounced good and others condemned. The greatest dram - hack in procuring cleanliness and healthy surroundings is the very in- efficient drainage system of the town, especially within the fever belt, and a state of things that cannot be reme- died: until the sewage system of the toren, is perfected. It was also found in the majority of cases where fever originated,. the houses are without cell- ars, or have small holes boarded with wood, thus giving no ventilation. Your Health Officer would recommend that all cases of typhoid fever be in- cluded in the report of infectious dis- eases reqquired from the town physi- cians. Also'that apparatus bo provid- ed for complete disinfection in eases where a community is endangered, and the diseased are too poor to pro- tride tbei nee4Ves," ¥Ips GwooW, of town, va$ Dlyttl last week, Ma, 0 .s. $HQOP1I;R is ttOt iaip av�ov lag ea his friends would like. TA OoAsiIcs.--Reeve McMurchio and Deputy -Reeve Kennedy are at Goderich attending the Comity Coun- cil. MRs. MARI.ow, Maple Street, is quite i11. We understand paralysis is the trouble. MISS MURRAY, of town, visited Miss Hattie Sutherland, of Hensall, last week. MRS. J. A. KING and children have returned to their home in Wingham, after visiting friends in Clinton and Hayfield. ABOUT RIGHT.—The Forest Free Press says :—E. M. McLean, late of Forest, entered upon his duties as Science mas- ter in the Clinton High School, on Jan. 4th. Judging by Mac's account, Clin- ton must be the model town of the Province. HURON VETS.—The officers for 1894 are J. S. Williams, V. S. Fres., Wing - ham ; W. F. Clark, V. S. Vice-pres., Goderich ; J. E. Blackall, V. S., Treas., Clinton ; J. J. Walker, V. S., Secy., Londesboro. The Association adjourn- ed to meet in the Town Hall, Wing - ham, on March 8th, at 11 a. m. The Association is in a good financial condi- tion. A GOOD MAN'S ADVICE.—The Blyth Standard says : We hope you may never take the grip. We had a wrestle with this Russian La Grippe last week, and can testify that he can knock the most of us end -ways in very short order. He comes in so many guises that you don't know when he is gripping until he has you down. Keep your feet dry, take lots of quinine —and some say whiskey—and keep a sharp.lookout for him. WORTH REPRINTING.—At the first indication of diphtheria in the throat of a child, make the room close, then take a tin cup, with a quantity of tar and turpentine, equal parts. Then hold the cup over the fire so as to fill the air with the fumes. The little patient on inhaling the fumeswill spit and cough out all the membraneous matter and the diphtheria will pass out. The fumes of the tar and the turpentine loosen the matter in the throat, and thus afford the relief that has baffled the physicians. BIBLE SOCIETY MEETING.—The an- nual meeting of the Clinton branch of the Upper Canada Bible Society. will be held in Rattenbury St. Methodist church,' to -morrow evening, Jan. 25th, at 8 o'clock ; chair to be taken by the President. Addresses by the Rev. J. B. McKinnon, Rev. W. Smyth, Jas. Scott, barrister, and Mr. Horace Foster. Good music will be rendered by the church choir. Everybody should at- tend and snake this meetin one of the best ever held. A silver collection will be taken up. Comuiittee in town and country will meet in church at 7 o'clock. MONTHLY FAIR.—The Town Council have wisely decided to revive and con- tinue the monthly fair. Although con- siderable time is required to thoroughly establish these friers, they invariably prove of great benefit to the farmer. Clinton being so central, buyer and seller alike participate in the benefit. The date for the next monthly fair has been set for Wednesday, February 7th. Arrangements have been made for buyers to be present and we trust farmers who have stock for sale will be on hand and not only endeavor to help themselves, but also do their part in making the fair a success. How ABOUT CLINTON ?—The inau r- ent meeting of the City Council for 1894 was held at 11 o'clock Monday, in the council chamber. Mayor Monteith and all the aldermen were present as follows :—Ald. Davidson, Jones, Hog- arth, O'Donoghue, Rigg, Hodd, Stock, Trow, Cleand, Youngs, n ram, Pratt, Stamp, Scrimgeour, and TV. J. Fergu- son. His Worship having welcomed the new members, stated that he had taken the liberty of asking the Rey. David Williams to open the proceed- ings of the year with prayer, which he considered only seemingly in a Christ- ian .country. Ald. Davidson entered a mild objection to having only one of the city clergy perform this duty, to which the Mayor replied that he did not think it necessary to hold a prayer meeting. There being no further ob- jection raised, Rev. Mr. Williams read the prayer prescri bed for such occasions by the ritual of the Church of England, which received most respectful atten- tion.—Stratford Beacon. Here is an example for our town council. But no one clergyman would be sufficient here. It would. require the presence of all the clergy in town, and a prayer meeting besides to mollify the bellicose spirit by the Mitchell Council.—Mitchell Record- er. SONS OF ENOLANO.—The Goderich Signal in a report of Liverpool Lodge, S. 0. E., there, says :—Wednesday evening of last week the members of Liverpool Lodge, S. 0. E., and a num- ber of friends sat down to a very fine spread at the British Exchange hotel. The chair was taken by presi- dent R. Warrington, and installing officers D. D., Thos. Jackson, and P.P., N. Robson, of Clinton, occupied places of honor on his right and left re- spectively. The spread was a good one, features of the,"eccasion being the "roast beef of Old England" and the proverbial "plum duff.' A number of loyal and patriotic toasts were present- ed and responded to, and several typical English songs were sung by W. J. Dowding, A. Dymock and others, the key -note of the whole evening's proceedings being a desire for the most thorough good fellowship. The society is benevolent in its design and is doing good work all over Canada. In Huron the work has been specially pushed forward by the unwearied efforts of Thos. Jackson, of Clinton, the popular District Deputy, whose name amongst the local 5. O. E., is one to conjrire with. A handsome coat of arms was presented to the local orgganization by R. S. Williams, who, although not a member of the society, is a "Liverpool lad" and a thorough paced Englishman from head to heel. Following are the officers of Liverpool Lodge for the current year : President, R. Warring- ton ; past president, W. S. Knights ; vice-pres., W. Rutson ; secretary, W. J. Dowding ; treasurer, W. Andrews ; chap., Geo. Evans ; Committe, 3. Jewell, Thos. Hornby, J. E. Precious, B. Hoggarth, A. Dymoek ; Inside Guard, W. E. Mitchell ; Outside Guard, C. Walters' delegate to (.rand Lodge, W. J.

Mr. Hamilton was appointed Moder- ator for the ensuing six months. The session records of Union Church, Brucefield, of Hensel], Blyth, Gode- rich, Clinton, Manchester and Smith's Hill, McKillop and Winthrop, Exeter, 'Juliet and Loudesboro, were examined and attested as correctly kept. A con- ference on the state of religion was ap. pointed to be held at the March meet- ing, during the afternoon sederunt, and Mr.' Acheson was appointed to introduce the subject of conference. The report on Sabbath Schools was delayed till next meeting. Dr. McDon- ald read the report on Christian En- deavor. The report stated that there are 434 active and 388 associate mem- bers connected with the Societies under the jurisdiction of the Presby- tery, a total of 822. The annual report of the Woman's Foreign Mission Society of the Presbytery was sub- mitted, showing that gratifying pro- gress was made during the year. The Presbytery received the report, ex- pressing its joy and gratitude at the success of the ladies in their noble work. The Presbytery recorded its sympathy with Mr. Shaw, of Egmond- ville, in his present affliction, and prayerfully hope that he will soon be restored to health. Messers. Alexander Reid and Walter Riddell were appoint- eb assessors with the session of Lon- deshoro. On application leave was granted to the congregation of Ilills Green to proceed with the erection of a chrrch. A committee composed of Messers Martin, Anderson, and J. A, McDonald was appointed to visit Beth- any and report at next meeting. Mr. Hamilton, on behalf of the comittee on the remit anent the "New Hymnal," gave a report, which, after some amendment, was adopted. Mr. Mus- grave gave notice that at the next meeting he would move that instead of six regular meetings, as in the past, there shall in future he only four. The following deliverance was adopt- ed : "The Presbytery having heard of the death of Rev. Wm. Graham, of Egnroudville, which took place on De- cember 18th, 1803, expresses its deep sympathy for the widow and the family in their affliction. His labors in this part of the church extend over a long period of time. He was ordain- ed as a minister in Tuckersmith, in 1845, and for 29 years remained the pastor of that congregation. In 1874 he was translated to the Congregation of Pine River, and in 1878 he retired from the active duties of the ministry. He was the first pastor of the E ond- ville congregation—one of the first members of this Presbytery, and, al- though, when be retired, bo was a member of the Presbytery of Maitland, still his long service to the church and the intimacy in which he stood to the members of the Presbytery of Huron, calls for the record of his death in our minutes." The noxt meeting of Pres- bytery will be held at Seaforth, on the 13th of March, at half -past ten o'clock a. M. MR. PETER CiANTELON, Jr., was in London last Saturday on business con- nected with the sale of produce. He found the market dull. TAX TALK. — Mayor Holmes is authority for the statement that the committee appointed by the council on Monday week "will recommend that all taxes be paid by the 1st of Decem- ber, and that 5 per cent. be added to those not paid by that time." One thing is certain, the present way of closing the roll is very unsatisfactory. If the Council should adopt the above plan it will prove better for the town. INET ALLATroN.—At the regular meet- ing of Kearns Tent No. 86, K. 0. T. M., there was a good attendance. Owing to the demise of the esteemed Com- mander, the late Francis Layton, A. M. Todd was elected to the chair. The following officers were installed by Past Commanders Johns and Kearns: —Sir Kts. Thomas Kearns, P. C.; A. M. Todd, Commander ; W. C. Landsborough, Lt. Com.; Geo. Lay- ton, R. K.; Ira Johns, F. K.; Thos. Britton, Chap.; Roger Pepper, M. at A.: Francis Crich, 1st M. of G.; W. Walker, 2nd M. of G.; R. Bi4gart, Sen.; Herb. Crich, Pic.; Geo. Whyte Searg. It was ordered that a letter of sympathy be prepared and presented Mrs. Layton and family, and that the charter he draped in mourning out of respect to the deceased Sir Knight Layton. Now, FOR PROHIBrTJON.—The Pro- hibitionists of Ontario are preparing for a union convention in Toronto on February 6th. The object of the meet- ing is to take deflnite action to secure legislation for the abolition of the Iicense system and the suppression of the liquor traffic. As to representa- tion at the coining convention the circular says :—Every friend of right who may receive this "call" is earnest- ly urged to use his influence to make the coming convention a success. Officers of all societies are requested to bring the matter before their respective organizations ; pastors are requested to lay it before their congregations ; all these bodies are earnestly requested to appoint delegates to the convention on the basis hereinafter set out; news - toper ivecittors are as much publicity asctfully requested to The plan of represeutation is as follows: —Every church and society to he entitled to two representatives, and each church or society having more than fifty members, to be entitled to an additional delegate for each fifty or fractional part of fifty after the full fifty members. The following organiza- tions are to be entitled to representa- tion on the basis named :—Branches of the W.C.T.U., Divisions of Sons of Temperance, Lodges of I.O.G.T., Coun; cils of the R.T. of T., Branches of the League of the Cross, Prohibition Clubs, and other prohibition or temperance organizations, Church Congregations, Young Men's Christian Associations, Salvation Army Corps, Societies of Christian Endeavor, Epworth Leagues, Branches of St. Andrew's Brotherhood, Baptist Young People's Unions, any other young people's associations in connection with church work ; the Provincial Officers and Executive (lom- mittee of the Ontario Branch of the Dominion Alliance, the Chairman and Secretary of each County, Riding, or City Plebiscite Committee, and the Chairman of the Committee for each municipality or Ward, to be also mem- bers of the Convention. JJ�MY, Bargain 0 The fact that Bargain Day sales prevents for the "time bets "' the sale of regular goods, dons not for a mom deter' us from sticking steadfastly by our determ%ti `. to ever keep our stock new and marketable, and wa,y, we do it is by the means of our semi annual bargain, day sales, at which ODD SUITS of a line, ODD O'COATS of a line, ODD PANTS of a line,. all placed in lots and cleared out at'rIrresistable Prices:' Space clues not permit us to give all the prices of the goods that will be offered.

True, there were some of out' customers who did not look with favor upon the change, and did not see that it would be any advantage to thein to pay cash instead of running the customary account ; but already several of these have said that they were going to try the cash system this year. Those who decided to give the new system a fair trial are well satisfied with it, and now when nearly everybody is complaining of the scarcity of ready money, They have.no long account to settle. As one person put it : "I have got all the goods I wanted, I don't feel any poorer, and I have no big bill to pay at the end of the year. The cash system is the one for me." His experience and opinion is that of many others. Value for value, dollar for dollar, selling for cash only we can and do sell cheaper than where ciedit is given. The difference in price may not seem much on any single article, but it's little and often fills the purse, and the few cents saved here and the•few cents saved there soon make the dollars. Selling for cash, we solicit your trade, not with promises of your own time to pay in, not saying take this home you may pay when you like ; but by having at all times new, desirable goods, the goods you want and selling them for less money than if we gave crelit, For the sake of getting a few months time to pay in, can you afford to pay 10 or 15 per cent more for your goods than you can get them for by paying cash.
