YOUR Loss. -You lose more than we do by not advertising in these col- umns. 'PHONE MEN AT WORK. -A gang of men have for several days been busily engaged in town straightening the poles and completing the new circuit. CATTLE SHIPPING. -Last week Messrs. Hearn, Grainger and Couch shipped two lots of cattle, one each of butchers' of export, to Toronto and Montreal. Mn. C. ANDERSON, the new photo- grapher, has leased and refitted'Cook's gallery, opposite Fair's mill. He comes from the Forest, City. POSTMASTER CAMPBELL, of Gode- rich, was a Clinton visitor last Thurs- day and called on THE NEWS -RECORD. FARM WANTED FOR RENT. -A com- petent person desires to rent a farm of 100 or 150 acres in good state of culti- vation, with good buildings, within a few miles of Clinton. Particulars 'nay be obtained at this office. THE BAND gave an excellent open air concert last Thursday evening on the corner of Rattenbury and Albert streets. Under the leadership of Mr. Shunk Clinton can justly lay claim to having a superior Band. MR. RICHARD IRWIN the other day made a shipment of Canadian barley to New York, the first he has shipped from Canada for three years. The American McKinley restriction was the reason that none had been shipped for so long a tirne. Farmers have come to realize that the Canadian Gov- ernment has nothing whatever to do with American Mchinleyism. ST. PAUL'S GUILD. -The entertain- ment in the school room hast Friday evening was not as liberally patronized as the object and excellent programme merited. -Rev. Mr. Fairlie presided and the following numbers were given: -Chorus, Misses Joyner, Herman, Hol- mes and Cree; reading, Mr. Harding; comic song, Mr. Brewer; recitation, Miss Mountcaastle ; reading, Mr. Hard- ing ; duet, Misses Herman and Cree solo, Mr. Halpenny; recitation, Miss Mountcastle; reading, Mr. Harding recitation, Mr. Brewer. Miss McHat dy presided at the piano. THE CASH SYSTEM. -Gleaning our exchanges from various portions of the country, we notice many dry -goods firms following in the wake of the Hodgens Estate of Clinton in inaugur- ating the cash system. The latest (we are surprised there are not more) is T. Whitehead, df Walkerton. In his an- noiincernenthesensibly remarks :-"It is a well-known fact that a great pro- portion of the loses in aanybusiness are ,caused by Bad Debts," or long; stand- ing accounts, and the loss of interest, cost of collecting,care of hooks, &e. These losses and the cost of carrying accounts are all a charge on the busi- ness and must come out of the profits. For example: Suppose a firm com- mencing a cash and credit business do a credit business of $15,000 the first year, during the year they receive by payments ou account $5,000, which would leave thein, when the year clos- ed, with $10,000 on their books. From our own experience we can say that with no increase in the amount of busi- ness done, this firm never have less than $10,000 out, for in their second year they would send goods out on credit as fast as they would collect their previous year's accounts. Now see what extra Cost there is in a year, doing this $15,000 credit business :- Interest on $10,000 at 8 per cent., bank rate, $800; losses from bad debts, $400; cost of stationery, postage, &c., 5150; value of time taken in care of hooks, $400-$1,750. Or to do the $15,000 busi- ness on credit there is an extra cost of $1,750, or nearly 12 per cent." REIKEIIRERk Mise McI•i;'ardy's concert on Friday, November 2uct. To -Mono p w (Thursday) is the first of November. REV,' Mi . FREEBORN, of Blenheim, spent an evening with his brother, Dr. Freeborn, last week. MR. AND MRs. %IHus.

BOWLING ON THE GREEN.-Twa rinks of the Clinton Bowling Club went to Seaforth on Friday afternoon and played a friendly game with the bowl- ers of that town.

The potato yield is a good one and greatly in excess of last year, both in quantity and quality. Notwithstanding the great drought during the summer months, the rains of September and the few weeks of October caused the roots to take great strides, the littter• turning out better than was at first anticipated. The smaller vegetables, as shown at the fall fairs, evidence a good season's yield. Altogether the crops are good, and if the prices are anyway fair, the crop will he a remunei ative one for the farmer. APPRECIATIVE JOKE. -Last. Friday an esteemed resident of Clinton was the subject of a practical joke. A party of gentlemen were on their way to Seaforth. One of the number had been slipped a railway return ticket, as he supposed, by the gentleman in charge of the party. As the train moved along the conductor was taking up the tickets as careful as usual. "%Vhy," said he to Mr. Blank, "that ticket is long enough to take you to Quebec I" "Seaforth I' The ticket is for Seaforth and return 1" exclaimed the gentleman. The genial conductor re-examined the ticket and these words were plainly thereon :-"Good for one admission to the county goal." The joke, appreciated by all, then exploded, and the ear fare was made good with the remark that such a visit would be preferred farther away from home. THE RIFLE MATCH. -Six members of the 33rd Battalion resident, in Clinton challenged six members of the Huron Rifle Asscciatiou to a match at 400 and 500 yards over the Atholcott Ranges for an oyster supper land the contest took place last Thursday. • One of the six named military inn "Mr. Courtice was unable to he present and A. M. Todd consented to take his place. The Association shooters were Messrs. Johnston, Robson, Emerton, Scrutann, Gibhings, and Hoover, the threehighest scores out of a possible 50 being :- Robson 44, Gibhings 36, Johnston 3.3. The three highest among the military men were -Todd 34, Read 33, Mc- Taggart 23. The total- score stood 192 to 142 iu favor of the Association.
