Next Sunday the local members and neighboring brethren will march to St. Paul's church at 2.30 in the after- noon, when Rev.Mr. Fairlie will preach a. special sermon.

A FORMER CLINTONIAN PROMOTED. —The Kernpptville Advance says:—J.A. Croll, the affable agent for the Confed- eration Life Assurance Co., who became a resident of this place less than a year ago, has been promoted to a higher position and has been called to reside in Mon treal,to which city he will remove in about three weeks. During their brief stay in our midst Mr. and Mrs. Croll have made numerous friends who will regret to learn of their contemplat- ed removal. TIMES MUST BE GOOD.—The frequent losing of pocket -books containing considerable sums of money is surely a sign that times must be good. Recently several purses have been lost in Clinton with sums ranging from $50 down to $7, the latter misfortune fall- ing to the lot of Mr. Walter Coats. The money was in a purse and escaped through an opening in his pocket. Newspaper men as a rule are not allowed to hold money long enough to Iose it. When times are so good that so many people can lose so much hard cash we are beginning to feel that some of it should find its way—legitimately, of course—to THE NEWS -RECORD office. PROMOTION.—The following are pro- moted to the second book :—Miss Holmes' Division—E. Leppington, Nettie Cantel on, A. Cornish, Ida Cantelon, J. McKenzie, C. Johnston, M. Livermore, HrPorter, J.

Those recommended must work harder. THE WEATHER.—One of the most severe rain and thunder storms there has been in this section for years hovered in the distance last Wednes- day and reached Clinton about 1:30 a. In. on Thursday. On Wednesday Messrs. John Croft and John Foster were lathing on the farm of Arthur Currie, Goderieh township, and experi- enced a narrow escape from the elec- tric current. It passed them close enough to smell it and came in contact with a large elm tree on Wm. Currie's farm adjoining. The tree was splint- ered and large pieces thrown a con- siderable distance. Mr. Croll says he was never before so close to the jaws df instant death and was several hours before he recovered from the ,shock. We have not learned of any serious damage, except several small washouts. Slight frost followed, but the dark, cloudy weather prevented serious damage. Old Sol was almost entirely secluded from Wednesday up to the time of writing. yesterday afternoon. THE HOUSE OP REFUGE.—After visit- ing several county Houses of Refuge and gaining all possible information, the Special Committee viewed the several sites offered by tender in Huron and finally settled on the Pickett farm on the London Road. The property is comprised of 474 acres, and the price $52 an acre. The loca- tion could not be much better—good roads, situation central, excellent drain- age, railway communication from the west, east, north and south, and con- venient to the business centre of Huron. This week Mr. Thos. Wetherald, P. L. S., of Goderich, was surveying the Founds and plans of the several build- ings will be advertised for in time to have the whole matter placed before the County Council at the June session. Buildings large enough for seventy- five inmates will be required at a cos of probably $9,000. We hope to see -the work proceeded with at an early day. R, UM/. EQYE ' is home on a visit, Mo.

THE fence in front of the Rattenbury Street Methodist Church has been re- moved, new walks laid, lattice work erected and flower beds nicely arrang- ed. NEws.—An East Wawanosh corres- pondent to an exchange save that some of the sixth line sports of that town- ship will celebrate the 24th of May in Clinton. THE COMING ONTARIO PREMIER,— The London Free Press last Saturday issued a supplement in the form of a large lithographic picture of Mr. W. R. Meredith, the able leader of the loyal Ontario Opposition. FROM THE NILE.—Mr. and Mrs. Richard Ryan, of the Nile. were last week the guests of Mr. and Mrs. D. Cook, of the feed store.—Mr. and Mrs. George Sheppard, also of the Nile,were visiting friends and relatives in Clin- ton and Goderich township last week. THE NEWS -RECORD voices the senti- ment of the people of Clinton when it expresses extreme regret at the con- tinued illness of Mr. Joseph Chidley, Sr. We sincerely hope that such a conscientious business man and pop- ular citizen may be long spared. GETTING READY.—Through the per- mission of Mr. James Fair the Cricket - Tennis Clubs have completed opera- tions for a system of water works. Connection has been made with the main pipe and the extension made with 120 feet of three-quarter inch pipe. The work is subject to the approval. of the Park Committee. EDITOR NASH, of the Gorrie Vidette, has for two weeks been wrestling with sickness and the paper has been entire- ly in the hands of the "devil." How- ever, there nas been nothing of a hades nature in the columns of the Vidette in consequence and the good editor will soon be, we are pleas- ed to say, alt the helm, again. COAL FAMINE.—O wing to the great strike among the coal miners the various• ,'railroads throughout the country are refusing to carry heavy freight and. discharging thousands of men. Harland Bros. had several cars of coal on the way to Clinton and the Grand Trunk converted it to their own use at the International Bridge. How long the strike will continue is hard to say. THE VALUE OP PRINTERS INK.—The Forest Free Press, edited by an un- compromising Grit, publishes this:— "Candidates for the Ontario Legisla- ture at the coming elections, or their friends,who wish to use the columns of the Free Press in advocacy of their claims will be charged at the rate of $5. per column per week, Not more than two columns per week will be sold to any one candidate." '- NEARLY NEARLY LOST HIS EAR.—Mr. Geo. Emmerson, Clinton's popular bicyclist, met with quite an accident while on his .way from Gerrie to Mildmay last week. He was travelling north on the Gorrie sideroad after dark and when in a swamp about 5 miles out his wheel struck a projecting root and broke, letting him fall heavily. His head struck the root and one of his ears was badly lacerated. Throwing the broken wheel into the swamp he trudged back to Gorrie where his wounds were dress- ed and the following morning he start- ed out again on his journey, reaching here after a trip of about 20 miles, through being misdirected. He has' been riding for several years, And until the past month never met with lin accident.—Mildmay Gazette.' SEA.FORTE'SFAME.—The greatBrook- lyn handicap race on Tuesday of last week occupied a prominent space in all the dailies. A western horse, but not the mighty Clifford, won the rich purse. The big turf event of the season was won by the horse Dr. Rice in the fast time of 2:07i. Over 40,000 persons saw the race. Dr. Rice is by Onanda a— Bonnie Lee and was bought by Fred Foster from Gideon & Daly for $5,000 because of a propensity to bleed at the nose. Dave Gideon is a man who bets heavily, and he did not want to take chances with an uncertain horse.• A few days later Dr.. Rice won the Withers, worth $0,470, for Foster. Foster is a Canadian, having been horn in Seaforth. His father was the proprietor of the Foster house in that town. Eleven years ago, when only 10 years of age, he left his native town, going first to Detroit, and afterwards removing to St. Paul, where he enr- barked in the hotel business. Always a horseman, he soo.r commenc- ed investing in horseflesh, hut he had up to last year done nothing startling upon the turf. The 'victory of Dr. Rice at Gravesend brings $180,000 to St. Paul and Min- neapolis. Fred W. Foster, the owner of the horse, telegraphed his brother, George Foster, that he had won $102,000 on the race, a large part of it in the winter books at 100 to 1. John and Henry Orth, the Minneapolis horse owners, also won $80,000 on the event on tips from Foster during the winter and spring. Fred Foster, the owner of Dr. Rice, backed the horse heavily on the winter books. His winnings aggregate $50,000, in addition to the stake, which is worth $25,000, of which $18,000 goes to Dr. Rice. A number of persons backed the horse in Snedeker's. When they went to cash in they found an empty box. Snedeker had decamped. The saddest individual of the lot was a man who held a ticket which read, "$3,500 to $500 Dr. Rice." Snedeker. made a future book• on the race and owes several thousand dollars, The owner of Dr. Rice gave Fred Taral, theockey who rode his horse to victory, $4,000 for winning the race, though he had only promised -him $500 for the mount and $2,500 in case he won. mud Dealer Cott Coupeli osionsuionesemmannimeiminnosie in variety or price, Our new designs and colorings are hand= sourer this year' than ever before.

Hatters and Clothiers, CLINTON. HOSIERY : 0 -- Comparison's the only way to judge the truth of what we claim for our Hosiery department—that is --no stock's better, few to equal, and prices for the same qualities 'lower than anywhere else, The greater 'part. of Black Cotton Hosiery sold in this country is made and dyed in Germany, all that is a -fast and stain- less black is. In buying our Hosiery for this season's trade, we did as the wholesale houses do, ..bought direct from the manufac- turer, by so doing saving the wholesaler's profit. They came to us direct from Cemnitz, Saxony, the great centre of the German Hosiery trade, and we have no middle man's profit to pay, which enables us to quote closer pri. ces anti give better goods for the same money than last year. Every pair is dyed by Louis Herm sdorf, and we guarantee them fast and stainless. Here are a few Sample Prices: Ladies' full fashioned Fast Black Hose 124 cents Ladies' fine all wool Cashmere Hose, summer weight, - r egular 35 cent quality '25 cents Fine Cotton Hose, full fashioned, double heel and toe, extra. value 25 cents Very fire Lisle Thread Hose 47 cents Children's fast Black Cotton Hose starting at 9 cents for small sizes.
