REMEMBER, Miss McHardy's concert
on Friday, November 2nd.

home, Petrolia, last Friday.
MR. HARDING preached in Seaforth
last Sunday evening. He expects to
Ieave for England next Tuesday.
MISS MARY TWITCHELL has secured
a situation at Southampton, and left
for that town Iast Friday.
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."

THE VEGETABLE AND ROOT CROP.-
Farmers have taken advantage of the
very fine weather of the past ten clays
and as a result the potato crop is nearly
all harvested while the turnips and
the small vegetables are receiving due
cousideration. 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. The
supper, an excellant one, was served at
Coats' restaurant Another match
will likely be arranged in the near
future.
The PRUDENT HOUSEWIFE will no doubt avail herself
