OLD SETTLERS.—TAlking of old set-
tiers and pioneer life in Huron, Mr.
Peter Cantelon, Sr.'informed THE
NEWS -RECORD that he was last Thins-
lay 59 years a resident of this section.
Ere says the McCallums, some of them
tow in London, were in Huron in 1828,
10 years ago. Mr. Cantelon is as
;mart as a cricket and is on the streets
If Clinton almost every day.
MASONIC.—Clinton Lodge No. 81, A.
F. and A. M., was favored with an
ifficial visit from the D. D. G. M., R.
ar. Bro. Dawson, of Sylvan, last Fri-
lay evening. The craft was out in
force and the exemplification of
: he work by the officers highly com-
[tended. An adjournment to Wilson
k Howe's restaurant was made, where
partook of these cateres well-known
tospitality.
AN EXPERIENCE SOCIETY.—TheBrus-
els Herald saysa—A new society with
he. above name, is being talked of in
awn. The new • part consists in the
aitiation. fee having to be earned in
orae way outside of the member's regu-
ar way of earning money, and the ex-
erience part consists of telli ' open
how the money was earned.
Ve have already had several applica-
ions for the job of scrubbing our office
) earn the necessary dollar for initia-
ionfee. In this connection we heard a
'pod story lately. A lady had joined a
imiliar society and in the experience
reeting stated that she begged the
from her husband. The society
sfused to accept money gbt in that
ray, as it was not earned, but she
armed her point by saying that
hey knew her husband they would ad-
tit that she had earned the money."
LARGE TREES.—Mr. Geo. A. Cooper,
oderich township, has a Pippin apple
ale raised from seed planted. in 18:37.
we years after the little tree was
-ansplanted, and again four years
'ter. To -day the tree measures 6 feet
inches around the smallest part of
le trunk, and 7 feet 8 inches around
le largest part. The height of the
.ee is 31 feet. Mr. Cooper has a plum
raft set by Mr. John (fluff in 1893 and
now measures 4 inches around the
'rink; the first year it grew 3 feet 8
Lobes in height from the graft to top.
e also has a black walnut tree which
ieasures 6 feet 6 inches around the
nallest part of the trunk, the seed of
hich was planted 39 years ago; the
ee has never been transplanted and
ands about 50 feet high; it hears
most yearly. These trees were plant-
I, or at least the seed, by his fittlaer, tan
:r. Thos. 0. Cooper, now of Clintorl. obt
ST. THOMAS CALLER.—Mr. Wm. pm
srrtett, an old-time friend of THE lad
Ews-REoo), swooped down on the
.ncturn sanctorum of ye editor last Ina'()
rednesday. Mr. Scarlett is one of the e"
any loyal Canadians we like to meet. Far
e has not yet forgotten the great day rest
Clinton on July 12, 1890, for he as phi
runty Master of Elgin, and the mem- and
es en masse, came herr by special beit
tin. The sun was well up next tiln,
arming before many of them reached °ra
lair homes. One of the lodges in stri.
gin received a prize for coming the of
eatest distance and the money was buil
iced in a handsome new banner.
Ley all know Clinton and have kind ilut
rards and warm feelings for the town. the

ents of the Wortman & Ward 1°6

lines of farm implements. Mr. Scar-
fett is a brother to those of the same
name in McEillop. He left for Wing -
ham, Whitechurch and other points on
Thursday.
APPEALING' FQE Aip..-31ayor en
nedy, of Toronto, has written the fol-
lowing letter in behalf of Capt. An-
drewst--"Tbere is no more worthy case
for the exercise of benevolence than
that of Capt. Andrews. The service he
has rendered in saving Allmanlife
ought not to be forgotten. lie is total
ly blind and cannot do anything for his
support. The amount I have received
for -him to date is only $75. I appeal
to the Christian public on his behalf."
CUTTING RATES.—It Is , said that a
war on rates has been declared by sev-
eral insurance societies in town and
that some are willing to take in mem-
bers for little or nothing. THE NEWS -
RECORD has been asked to express an
opinion in the matter, but we cannot
do so intelligently without knowing
the facts. All these societies, we be-
lieve, are doing a good work, but
whether such action will have a good
or bad effect we are not prepared to
say just now.
THE FRAZER DRAMATIC COMPANY.—
Easter time is not as a rule a very good
week for the finances of any company,
and last week was not any exception
to the past. But the very slim audi-
ences every night of the six did not
deter the Frazer Company from going
right on. Each night, if possible, the
interest increased, but the attendance
failed to materialize to any percepti-
ble degree. The company is certainly
clean and strong. Were they to ap-
pear here at a future and more season-
able time, larger and more apprecia-
tive audiences should greet the lady
and gentleman performers and mana-
gers.
THE POPULAR PAPER.—We have
ften said the THE NEWS -RECORD was
popular paper. Now we are justified
n saying that it is THE popular paper.
Last week we asked our readers for a
ouple of copies of March 7th to corn -
let& our fyle. Up to Saturday we re-
eived no less than SIXTY copies of that
late, for which we thank subscribers.
hey came from Wingham, Belgrave,
3lyth Londesboro, Summerhill, Clin-
on, Holmesville, Porter's Hill, Bay-
eld, Varna, Brucefleld, Seaforth,
oderich, Saltford, Auburn, Nile,
etrolia, Bennailler,lHensall, &c., &c. A
aper that is so well preserved must be a
opular paper—is surely THE popular
aper. We incline to the belief that
rimy of our readers keep THE NEWS-
ECORD on fyle. If any requirea
umber of March 7th we are now in a
osition to supply the demand free of
ost. We have over 50 copies to give
way.
THE LATE JOHN MCNA.UGHTON.—
he funeral of the late John McNaugh-
on who died on Wednesday, March
et, at his residence, Glendeven farm,
township of Stanley, this county, took
lace on Good Friday. Deceased was
orn in Perthshire, Scotland, in the
ear 1815, and emigrated along with
is parents, brothers arid sister to this
untry in 1832. The trip from Green -
to Hamilton occupied twenty one
reeks. He was delayed in Dundas by
e sickness and death of his father:
en moved to London, where he resid-
for a few years. Proceeding west-
ard, he finally located with his bro-
ers Peter, William, and Malcolm on
e Hayfield Head. He endured all
e hardships iffcidental to the early
ys of the pioneer settler in the back -
cods of Canada. He was a warm
ipporter of the old established church
Scotland. After the union of the
resbyterian churches- he joined the
piscopalians. In politics he was a
aunch Conservative. His sterling
qualities of honesty and uprightness
aced him in the highest esteem of all
ho knew him. The funeral service
Is conducted by the Rev. Mr. Kerrin,
Bayfield. His remains were follow -
by a large assembly of friends and
lations paying their last tribute of
spect to departed merit and were in-
rred in the Hayfield cemetery. His
other Daniel, who resides in the •
ate of Michigan, the only one who
left (his sister, Mrs. Ritchie, having
d last December), was present when
breathed his last. He leaves a vvi-
w, three sons, and five daughters to
urn the loss of a loving husband and
affectionate and bsloved father.
A MODEL HOME.—Mr. John T. Har-
d, town, ,s now located in his corn -
table new home on William street.
e other day THE NEWS -RECORD re-
ested a view of the interior and our
sire was complied with-. It will be
e time before Mr. Harland has
erything in final shape. The build -
is a full two-story frame, built
er modern fashion. The size is about
40 feet. The lot is a quarter of
acre, with fair sized high front and
ck incline, giving probably the very
t drainage in town. The splendid
ane cellar, built by H. Hill, is divided
o four departments. The whole pro-
ses are heated by a No. 20 Leader
ance, made by Buck of Brantford ;
m it there are two single and two
able hot air pipes which convey the
t air through six reliable re-
ters. The cellar is very convenient.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.—In referring to
the drama, "Troublesome times in Ire-
land," the Goderich Star speaks of a
well-known Clinton ian:—"Capt. Torr
Rance, of Clinton, had a somewhat
difficult and rather unpleasant task to
perform in the character of Capt.
Hawkins, the bad man who makes all
the trouble between the young lovers,
and who was an altogether unlikely
specimen of a British officer."
THE OPENINGS.—The millinery and
spring openings last Saturday even.
ning sustained the good reputa-
tion of Clinton dry -goods men -
The weather was anything but favor-
able or spring-like. Everything the
heart might yearn for in millinery,
dress and clothing goods, carpets,
house furnishings, &c., was charmingly
arranged and shown by the Hodgens
Estate, Beesley, & Co., Plurnsteel &
Gibbings, Gilroy & Wiseman and
Jackson Bros. Clinton business men
are always up with the times in mat-
ters of the kind.
LEAVING TOWN.—Mrs. Buchanan
and family, Albert street, will leave
for British Columbia in a short time.
Mr. Buchanan has built for himself a
comfortable residence atVancovverand
has definitely decided to make his
home there, In the meantime Mrs.
Buchanan has authorized auctioneer
Dickinson to sell by auction the house-
hold furniture on Saturday next at one
o'clock. The sale will take place at the
residence on Albert street. We sin-
cerely regret the removal of such
worthy citizens from our midst. They
will have the best wishes of a largo
circle of acquaintances.
FALSE ALARM. -There was excitement
in the McKay Block last Thursday.
Mr. John Ransford telephoned THE
NEWS-BECORD that the ()range Hall
was surely the seat of danger, but on
close examination there was no cause
for alarm there. Every apartment in
the building was visited with similar
results. It was afterwards learned
that the smoky and burning smell
came from the furnace in Runiball's
jewelry stoic.
OBEY THE LAW.—Game-Warden
John Curry, of Goderich, was in town
last Thursday. His visit was of an
official character. It seems that the
game law has not been observed as
strictly as the regulations demand and
Mr. Curry was after the violaters.
Although the season will not be in un-
til September, wild duck shooting has
been going on in Hullett. Those who
have been violating any of the game
regulations should take warning in
time. The only way to keep out of
trouble is to obey the law.
GOOD TIMES.—The other day Mr. J.
B. Bumball informed THE NEWS -RE-
CORD that last fall and the present
winter was by far the best season. he
has ever bad for the sale of luxurious
goods. And many of the purchasers
were farmers and farmers sons. This
does not look like hard times, because
expensive ;jewelry is a luxury all
classes can get along without. It situp
ly goes to show that times are not
neaply as close as croakers say. The
only difference between this and other
years was the loss of the apple crop last
year.
A GREAT PURC
Our buyer has just returned from a big purchasing trip after
taking in the wholesale markets of the country. Tho
result has been the purchase of the largest and (ail&
selection of Woollens ever placed before the people of
Western Ontario. Never before have we been able to
buy goods at such low figures and we are now prepared
to take orders for fine clothing at figures that cavot be

NEW HITS
and BONNETS. I
Our Millinery opening Saturday evening was an unqualified
success. Our display of Millinery this spring is very
" beautiful—unequalled, the best in town,the most stylish,
was the verdict of the n mbers who visited us Satur-
day afternoon and evening.
If you have not been able to get in why come at any time and
we will be glad to show you through.
A Special Feature.
It is an acknowledged fact that new styles always appear
earlier on the American side of the line than they do
here. Recognizing this fact Miss MacDortALn visited
the wholesale Miliinery opening in Detroit, and there
secured styles and novelties in shapes and trimmings,
that cannot be got here. These, we aro confident, will
add to the attractiveness and tone of our stock ; they
will be found exclusively with ourselves, and ladies
wanting run VERY NEWEST in fashionable Millinery,
will be able to get it here.
In fixing prices we've remembered we are selling for cash only
and you'll find them lower, considerably lower than filet
same qualities can be got for elsewhere.
