LARGE CITRON.—Grocer Robson has
in his store a citron which measures
19 and 26 inches and weighs 17 pounds.
It was grown by Mr. John Taylor, of
Hullett.
A NOVELTY.—We hear much about
sluirrel shooting in this vicinity, but
we are not aware that any one has
had the luck of the Beverley boy who
recently shot a black squirrel with a
white tail.
A DECIDED ACQUISITION.—A special
from Goderich to Saturday's Empire
says:—Dr. Freeborn,who recently came
from the county of Bruce to Clinton
to practise his profession, is a good
speaker and is a decided acquisition t o
the party iu Huron.
WITHDRAWN.—On Wednesday orders
were made at Osgoode Hall, Toronto,
allowing the Provincial election peti-
tions in the cases of North Toronto,
East Toronto, South Norfolk and West
Huron to he ' withdrawn. In the
North Wentworth case, notice was
filed of an application to withdraw.
Music HATH CHARMS.—But certain-
ly not half the charms THE
NEWS -RECORD has and will have
for old and new readers during
1894 and. 1895. There is not a
paper in the county of Huron—and
few in Ontario—that gives better value
to subscribers'or advertisers.
RUNAWAY.—Mr. W. Connell's horses
bolted from the Central Hotel stables
last Thursday. Fortunately they were
not attached to the waggon. They
proceeded up Albert street on the
double-quick and near Dinsley's cor-
ner crossed a telegraph pole. The neck -
yolk was snapped oras though it were
only a pipe stern, and some of the har-
ness fastenings broken. There was no
other damage.
Mn. W. E. RAMSAY 5 "Trip Around
the World," to he presented in the
town hall, Friday evening, Dec. 7th,
under the auspices of the Mechanics'
Institute, will start from New York,
showing all the points of interest
including the Brooklyn Bridge by day
and by night. Froin Arnerica's great
metropolis across the Atlantic to the
Emerald Isle: thence to Bonnie Scot-
land, Burns' birthplace; in England, to
the city of all cities, London, etc.; in
France, .to Paris and Verssailles, where
the mighty Napoleon planned the
conquest of nations ; in Switzerland, to
Berne, showing the mightiness of the
A.lps;;rin .Monte, to the Colosseum,
where" "gladiators and wild beasts
fought for life to please Nero and his
,rtyage followers ; to the world'sreat-
est' 1'ortreas, Gibraltar; to all the
capitals of Europe ; to the Orient,
where Cleopatra lured kings to death;
and in Jerusalem to Bethlehem, the
birthplace of the Saviour. He leads
the way to the Suez Canal, showing
the wonders of modern engineering to
the Red Sea; and thence to "India's
coral 'strand," illustrating the riches of
"Our Ena..ire in the East ;" to Corea,
China and Japan, then taking our own
country from the Pacific to the Atlan-
tic. Such a tour will undoubtedly
prove very interesting.
COUNCIL.—The Town Council met on
Monday evening. All members pres-
ent. Chairman McMurray reported an
expenditure of $6.77 for charity and
the supplying of wood toseveralprrties.
Finance Minister Armstrong reported.
recommending the payment of ac-
counts to the amount of $35.01, also the
usual annual grants and the account of
James Fair left over from last meet-
ing ; receipts $71. The Treasurer's
statement showed: receipts $3,639.75;
and payments $1,889.12—balance. $1,-
755.63, Councillor Taylor reported that
Mr. Farran had no objection to stones
being placed on the market, but no ac-
tion was taken. Councillors Cooper
and Overbury moved that the electric
light poles on the cornor of Orange
and Mary, Rattenbury and Mary and
Hazen and Shipley streets he raised
20 feet. Taylor and McMurray moved
in amendment that the matter be re-
ferred to Electric Light Committee
and the latter was agreed to. Polling
places and deputy returning officers
were named and assented to as follows:
----St. Andrew's, town hall, W. Man-
ning; St. James,' Joseph Chidley's
furniture wareroom, Victoria street,
H. Wiltse; St. John's, Rumball's
carriage shop, Thos. Cottle; St.
George's, Leslie's carriage shop,
S. L Andrews. Under the head
of NeW Business Ooun. Taylor
urged some action by the Ooun^il to
have stone procured, to be broke for
the streets. The discussion went to
show that four loads of screened gravel,
free from sand, would not cost any
Otero than one load of broken stone,
No action. --Adjourned.
Tun annual meeting of 14. O. 14. 71Q
take place next Monday evening.
TaE °minty Model school examina.

I-Iunox County Connell will meet in

MIi. JOSEPH GOLDTIIORPE, of Sait-
ford, was in town this week.
DISTRICT CONVENTION. --A convetion
of the Goderich District—Epworth
League and 5. S.—will he held in the
Methodist char ch, Seaforth,to-mon ow.
THE members of the C. O. F. had
their pictures taken last Thursday
night by a couple of gentlemen who
claim to be working for the Grand
Trunk. We understand the Sons of
England and Independent Forresters
also had groups taken.
TOO FAST.—Grocer Rohson'sdelivery
horse was a little too fast on Monday
evening while taking a short turn and
driver Dane Sparling was thrown out
along with the seat of the sleigh. The
sleighs separated opposite Fair's office
and the animal headed for the stable.
There was no damage.
KEEN COMPETITION.—Fur• several
days Reeve McMurchie's office was be-
seiged by contractors from all parts of
the country seeking information about
the proposed House of Refuge. It is
said there are a large number of tend-
ers in. The County Council, it is ex-
pected, will award the contract this
week, •
A Busy•DAY. Last Saturday -there
was a very large concourse of people
in Clinton, and business men gener-
ally report a good day's trade. From
this until the New Year there will he a
boom in all lines. When in town
make it a point to call on THE NrWs-
RECORD and leave us a small slice of
your proposed expenditure.
WHY NOT?—It has been snggested
that a Young Men's Conservative As-
sociation or Club be formed in Clinton.
The idea is au excellent one and should
be put into practical effect. Now that
the evenings are long a very profitable
hour or two could he spent in discuss-
ing various public questions. There is
plenty of material in town and the
young men are our future hope. By
all means take hold. There never was
a more favorable opportunity.
SOME PLAIN TALIc.—There is no
denying the fact that if you owe one or
more years subscription to
THE NEWS -RECORD the amount
must be paid without much
delay. Accounts have been
hailed to all who are in arrears
because the money is due this
office. We much regret being
compelled to place these small
matters in court and add
double the amount in law costs
on some patrons we would like to call
friends. However, business is business.
Those who go to Court will be only
patrons who compel THE NEWS -RECORD
to resort to law in order to collect
what is justly due us. Law costs
more than a dozen newspaper
subscriptions when the courts are ap-
pealed to.
TRADE AT HOME.—The season is
coining when a good deal of shopping
will be done. Purchases will he made
in connection with the Christmas holi-
days and a greater amount than usual
wiil be spent to convey to those whore
we love the seasonable expression of
Good Will which is associated with
the anniversary of Christ's Birth. • We
have hut one thing to say in connection
.with it and that is that we hope the
money spent will he spent at home.
Our merchants havelaid in large stocks
and it will be noticed, that each year
these are more elegant and expensive
and just as fine as can he obtained in the
large cities. Loyalty to our own town
demands that the enterprise of cur
merchants be appreciated. Let us not
hear that any citizen has been so .for-
getful of what is due to the enterprise
of his home merchants as to spend
money to build up the trade of out-
side places.
OUT OF HIS LATITUDE.—The editor
of the Exeter Tittles is certainly mysteri-
ously out of his latitude. The other
week our town totem. said something
about the streets of Clinton being
muddy and the Times bumptiously
criticised the remark. To enlighten
the Times THE NEWS -RECORD. said the
cause of Clinton's superior streets being
a little muddy was because this was a
business centre. Now the Times editor
states what he don't know and un-
wittingly does a great injustice to
Street Commissioner McMarehie and
Clinton • in theT�yfollowing :—"THE
CLINTON NEWS -RECORD gives the very
lame excuse of 'immense traffic' for
the bad tate of the streets of that
town. Probe to the bottom brother and
you will find it bad management on
the part of the road commissioner, if
there be such an officer in Clinton.
We say, come to Exeter, where there
is equally as much traffic, and see the
finest streets in Ontario, and learn
something about road making from
commissioner Creech."
DEATH of MR. HUGH W Ir.soN • —The
following from the Bruce Herald
refers to a blood relative of the editor
of THE NEws-RECORD:--Before last
week's Herald had reached many of its
readers the subject of this sketch had
answered the call that, sooner or later,
comes to every person. Deceased had
been a resident of this c nmtry for 01
years. Born in Ireland in 1828, he
came to this country with his parents
when he was hut five years of age.
The County of Welland was selected
as the first home of the new ' arrivals.
Here on the hanks of the Chippewa
Creek, Hugh, jr., spent his early life
and grew up to manhood. Like many
other young men he became fired with
a desire to make a home and a name
for himself in the West, and about 31)
years ago he moved to the Township
of Brant where he has been a resident
ever since. He soon became one of the
hest known residents of the Township
and his sterling character and good
business habits soon pointed him out
as one well fitted to take a leitdina
part in the management of the Muni-
cipal affairs of his township. For 19
hears he held a seat at the Council
oard, his position for most if not all of
the time, being Deputy Reeve. Dur -
in the last couple of years he has been
ailing gradually sinking until last Wed-
nesday night when the change cam e. A
wife and six children, 3sons and 3dau h-
ters are left to tncurn his loss. He
was a prominent Orangeman and Con-
servative, a firm friend and good neigh-
bor, and itis demise is universally re-
gretted. The funeral on Friday was
very large, there being 01 rigs in the
procession.

Is a lot of money, but this is the value of a manufacturer's
stock of Ready Made Clothing placed in the auction
rooms in Toronto with instructions to close out at

we were tempted to wade in and we have now our
