CHEAPER THAN POSTAGE AND No TROUBLE. -Have you some absent friend who is interested in Clinton or Huron people and events ? Then send us $1.25 and THE NEWS -RECORD will keep them posted every week until Jan. 1st, 1896. It will be as good as a letter to them. Why not try it? THE CODLING MOTH PEST. -Apple shippers to British Columbia are hav- ing trouble over the codling moth this season. Recently a carload of Ontario apples was seized and destroyed at Vancouver on account of the fruit be- ing infected with this pest. The 0. P. has issued a notice to fruit men that unless the greatest care is exercised by them with regard to infected fruit the company will require all charges en shipn¢ents to he prepaid. JOB'S COMFORTERS. -For boils or car- buncles the name certainly should be changed. There is nothing comfort- able or consoling about them if Apple King Cantelon is to be believed. He was on a trip to Winnipeg and return- ed last Friday, bringing along several of these ancient nuisances. Mr. Caute- lon informs us .that he took passage under peculiar circumstances, not be- ing able to secure sitting accommoda- tion in any of the cars. Mn. W. E. RAMSAY, who is making a tour of Canada this season with a new entertainment entitled "A Trip Around the World" has been secured by the Mechanics' Institute and will appear under their auspices in the Town Hall, Friday evening, Dec. 7th. The entertainment consists of a humorous description of a "Trip Around the World," beautifully illus- trated by scenes of all the important points of interest seen during his travels. Mr. Ramsay will also intro- duce several of the latest London songs and %ketches heard while in Europe, while Mrs. Ramsay will play the national airs of the different countries ars they pass through. Mr. Ramsay's coming will he looked forward to with interest. "LOSING VENTURES." -While "meri- torious concerts" have so far this fall proved a failure financially the do not coincide that this proves they can not be made a success. There must he, and is some cause for the result. The hundred and one entertainments that have already taken place m Clinton demonstrates the fact that the working people -the great ruajori ty- cannot patronize everything and give their earnings as though they were millionaires. A dollar occasionally is all right and well spent for "meritorious concerts," but the great trouble is there has been too many of there. Clinton is slandered when this big and progressive town is dubbed "a small place." Because oar people do not "turn out" to everything does not make Clinton "small" by any means. Our people and the town are all right, ADULTERATING COFFEE. -You can no longer be sure that you get pure coffe by buying it unground, or even unroasted. Adulteration has reached that stage of "perfection" that we are now furnished with irritation green coffee berries made of wheat or rye flour and corn. Irritation roasted berries are also in the market and re- quire the closest examination to detect that they are spurious. One simple test is by water. Almost all roasted coffees will float, although some over - roasted berries may go to the bottom ; (hickory in ground imitation coffee will discolor the water, and the cereals will sink. If the imitation berries be closely scrutinized they will be found to lack the fragment of the covering membrane to be found in the genuine coffee berry. The United States Agricultural Department reports that 1)0 per cent, of the samples of ground r:nfee examined Were found to be adulterated, HR. W. JAcKSQ$ was In London last Thursday. BARRISTER DANCEY, of Goderic h, was in town last Thursday. Mn. THOS. CORNYN, of Winghanl, passed through Clinton to Toronto last Thursday. We regret to learn that theentlernan has been in poor health. His visit tothe Queen City was for the purpose of consulting with emi- nent medical nen. MRs. E. H. YATES and daughter left last Thursday for New Haven, Conn., where they will join Mr. Yates, who has a responsible position there in one of the railway offices as short -hand writer. Mrs. Todd, the lady's sister, se companied Mrs Yates as far as Lon- don. Wu() Is SHE ?-An Egrnondville correspondent says : "An itinerant vendor of small wares, said to hail from Clinton, made her annual calls in the village this week. She has the usual accompaniment, rather a comely baby, which looks no older than three years ago on its first rounds." PLEASE SETTLE Now. -During the week a number of our subscrib- ers called and settled their ac- counts. Now this is honest and we appreciate it, but there are hundreds of others on our list in arrears, whom we would be pleased to have call (or send by letter) and settle. MUST BE SOME MISTAKE. -The Gor- rie Vidette says "Mr. J. W. Shaw, of Clinton, has been appointed an associ- ate coroner for the county of Huron." There crust be some mistake, for the only individual by the name here is Dr. Shaw. Anyhow, how could any "Mr." be an associate coroner for any county, town, village, or other place ? The Vidette will please rise and ex- plain. CATTLE SITiPPINCI.-Some days ago Mr•. James Hearn, who has been in the ca a lusr e, in this section for 38 years, shipped a select lot to Toronto. In the lot were two stock or lean bulls for which he paid $31 each here. The cost of shipping was $2 each, making a total of $66 for the two. Mr. Hearn was glad to get rid of them in the Queen City for $52, or $26 each. And the farmer Mr. Hearn bought them from seemed to think he was robbing him. Markets vary so much these times that as a rule there is more risk than money in stock, although many are pshipped at a fair profit. THE APPLE TRADE. -We have seen samples of apples shipped from Huron to Wionipeg. It is surprising how some people can expect to find a market, especially when fruit is packed that would• not be accepted at home or at an evaporator. if the same quality of fruit has been exported to Britain the shippers must expect to lose a great deal of money. Good apples will command a good price, but poor stock ruins our reputation and does incalculable injury to future trade. The sooner sellers and packers realize that nothing but choice fruit is re- quired or will he .accepted for the Canadian and British niarkets the better. Otherwise it will be useless to grow apples. ' PEDDLERS. - Quite 'a number of these gentry are now doing Huron, and its a conundrum beyond our powers of definition how so many sensible women permit themselves to be imposed upon by these foreign imposters, and we be- lieve that we voice the opinion of the major part of our citizens, when we say that the sooner our legislators take steps to stamp out the growing nui- sance the better. Of the many cases of imposition that have corse under our notice, time and space will only per- mit us to quote the following : A cer- tain lady of the village purchased a pair of towels from one of those Jew peddlers for which she paid fifty cents. Nov, the same line of towels can be procured for fourteen cents at Brump- ton's bazaar.-Lucknow Sentinel. GRAND DEDICATORY SRRVICE Or NEW L. 0. L. HALL AT Uonniu.--The members ot L. 0. L. No. 767, Gerrie, purpose holding a grand dedicatory service on Friday, December 14th, 1894. Full arrangements have been complete - ed for the occasion. The Hon. N. Clarke Wallace, Comptroller of Cus- toms, Grand Master and Sovereign of British America, ,Mr. Robert Binning - ham, of Toronto, Grand Secretary, and others will he in attendeuce. At 3 o'clock. p. m., the Grand Master, assisted by the Grand Secretary, will proceed to dedicate the hall. Your lodge is respectfully invited to take part in the Dedicatory Service. In the evening a grand concert will be held in the town hall. Concert will he opened by addresses from the Grand Master and the Grand Secretary. For partic- ulars see large bilis. W. H. Clegg is chairman of committee. THE TORONTO EVENING NEWS, speaking of Ramsay's "Trip Around The World," which will be presented in the town hall, Friday evening, Dec. 7th, says :-The entertainment in Massey Hall last night under the aus- pices of the Royal Grenadiers, was the success of the season so far, in point of excellence and attendance. The four thousand seats were occupied by all classes, from what is called the society class down to that which is less preten- tious but equally as appreciative of a good thing. The red coats of the Grenadiers -officers and men -were to be seen every where, and the other corps were almost as conspicuous by their uniforms. The feature of the entertainment was Mr. W. E. Ramsay's "Trip Around the World." After his long summer vacation abroad the popular young sing- er and entertainer made his reappear- ance before a vast and critical audience and did what few hien of more experi- ence would dare attempt -kept there interested and amused for two and a half hours with racy descriptions and city and country views in every civil- ized land that one visits in a world - belting tour. Mr. Ramsay introduced many songs - several of them the latest English con- cert hall ditties, never heard here be- fore, and which caught on immensely. "Torniny Atkins" took the favor of the audience best•. The Grenadiers, who were scattered throughout the house, had been trained for three weeks to sing the chorus, but, they .didn't sing it, probably because they all had their best girls with them and had lost their nerve. But Mr. Ramsay carried it though, and "Tommy Atkins" is alreacwhistled in the streets. Mr. amsay's accompaniments were excellently played by his wife. The colored views were new and the hest that Toronto had ever seen. THE LAST WEEK -OUR GREAT SALE OF - WALL PAPER REMNANTS Will positively close on SATURDAY,NOV. 24.

We have it 1, 1-1, 11 and 2 yards wide, but what we sell the most of, is a piece 11 yards square, which costs you 55c., 90c., $1.20 or $1.25 the square. The $1.25 square is made specially for the purpose, being in the form of a square mat finished with a border on all sides. While it cost* trifle more than the others, it has by far the best appearance. Did You Know That we made and laid all Carpets bought of us, free of charge ? That's quite an advantage, even if we hadn't a bigger and better stock (which we think we have) and didn't sell any cheaper (which we think we do) than most people. Cash and One Price. Esq.
