Lack Kennedy, Clinton, Is still agent for the celebrated and reliable BRANTFORD and Mc- LAUGHLIN CUTTERS. nub paid for egos and buttur,—CANTELON liana. COUNCIL.—The next Council meeting will be held on the 15th. MR. R. D. STANLEY talks of taking a position in the Sentinel office In To- ronto. ONE of Baker Beckwith's windows is now devoted to a display of artist Anderson's photographs. Miss HENNINGs, of Detroit, and Miss Eccleson, of Bayfield, are the guests of Mr. ,and Mrs. Henry Young. MR. JOHN WILFORD, of Blyth, was in Clinton on business last Wednes- day. OUTSIDE DEALING.—Last week an outside boot and shoe dealer, 'from Toronto, was in Clinton and took a large number of orders. To WINGHAM.—A number from town were in Wingham yesterday taking part in the grand Conservative de- monstration. FINE ART.—Mr. Charles Bowers, an artist of no mean order, is just now at work putting the finishing touches on a partridge sketch. When finished it will be a decided work of art and a credit to the artist. OUR PORK MARKET.—During the past week Mr. E. Dinslcv has bought and shipped to Hensall over 10,000 pounds of dressed pork. The price ranged from $4 to $5 per hundred. The market yesterday was $5 for choice hogs. AWARDED TO S. S. COOPER.—We are pleased to notice that the. contract for building the County House of Refuge has been awarded to a Clinton contrac- tor, Mr. S. S. Cooper. The figure was $6,874. We hope the contractor will be able to complete the work at a fair profit to himself. Mn. _ W. J. SHAW, of Olds, 40 Miles north of Calgary, Man., is here on a visit. Some years ago Mr. Shaw was in the employ of Messrs. Craib, Mac- whirter & Co„ dry -goods men here. He is now the owner of a valuable cat, tie ranche and we are informed is doing exceedingly well. NEW SIGNS.—Mr. W. G. Vance believes in advertising and has put up an attractive new sign, the work of artist Charles Bowers.—Ogle Cooper & Co. believe in the free use of the painters' brush as well as printers' ink and have erected a second sign. DEATH.—Mrs. Russel Andrews, of Burritt's Rapids, Ont. (aunt of Mr. S. J. Andrews, town) passed to her reward and the funeral took place on Tuesday of last week. Mr. Andrews was wired of the sad event, but not in time to be present. The lady was on a visit here last summer and her friends in Clinton will much regret to learn of the death of so kind and estimable a woman. BRANCHING OUT.—THE NEWS -RE coh.D had a friendly call last Saturday from Mr. F. B. Crabb, of Goderich. He has bought a hardware stock and business at Lions Head, Bruce County, and takes possession this week. Mr. Crabb is a thoroughly reliable young man and deserves success. THE NEWS - RECORD heartily recommends hint to the good offices of the people of Lions Head and surrounding country. THE OTHER SIDE.—We mean the other side of a delinquent's case. He had read THE NEWS -RECORD for some years and when pressed for the money defiantly replied that he didn't owe it. The bill was about $13; to court it went and finally to the Bailiff. About $25 of good money settled everything. "There's no use in crying over spilt milk,". the oli saying goes, and the illustration goes to show that money for law costs and the shedding of tears have alike been wasted by the party who refused to pay the poor printer. There are times when it is "too late." MUNICIPAL MATTERS.—There is not as yet a great deal of stir. What we have said and what' we say now is merely rumor. The latest is that Mr. E. Saville will be in the field for councillor for St. George's ward and that the old members; Councillors Plummer and Young, will offer for re-election. Mr. Thos. WValker, so rumor says, will be a representative of St. John's ward for 1895. Councillor Taylor, of St. Andrews, it is said, may rim for Deputy -Reeve against Mr. Kennedy and J. E. Blackall will take his place. In general the names of the Messrs; Hodgener W. Beesley, H. B. 'Millie, Jas. A. Ford, H. T. stance, J. W. Irwin, J. T. Harland, Wm. Sparl- ing, J. B. Hoover and NV. G. Smith have been mentioned as likely council - toes. Time only will reveal what truth there is in these rumors. There is not a great deal of talk about the mayoralty or Reeveship, although opposition in both is mooted. TIMItril were in all 53 tettders for the House of Refuge, • Miss Ian's was on a visit to Bruce,- field ruce.field last week, • Miss SMYTH, of Hamllt n, is the guetit of her uncle, Rev, W. Smyth. MESSRS. T. 0. and W. H. hhcElroyl of Blyth, we're in Clinton on business last week. THE fool -joker has been getting ire some brainless work by tieing crape to doors of business men. MISS LAVAN, of the public school staff, was confined to her room through illness yesterday. Mn. W. FOSTER, one of the best and - most faithful travellers on the road, is holidaying for a few weeks. Mn. INKERMAN CANTELON succeeds Mr. E. Muir in the Express Office; the latter has accepted a similar responsible situation at Guelph. A YOUNG LADY lost a purse the other day containing some money. Will the finder be kind enough to report at this office ? DEPUTY-REEVEIREENEDY was illand confined to bed for several days during he past week. He much regretted his inability to be present at the County Council meeting. BIG CABBAGE.—Gardener Joseph Allanson has about one thousand cabbages. Many of them run frorn 14 to 25 pounds each when cleaned and stripped. - MIss M. BROWNLEE has returned to resume her duties at Hensall, after a visit of two or three weeks to her sister who has been quite ill, but is recovering. ANOTHER BUSINEss MAN.—Mr. Albert Seeley has rented the black- smith shop in connection with Leslie's carriage works. Mr. Tedford has removed to his new premises on Rattenbury street. MR. J. C. STEVENSON, who fell and. broke his leg a few weeks ago, we regret to learn is not making rapid recovery. He is improving, but does not rest well, and suffers severely at times. ELECTORS should remember that taxes should be paid on or before the 14th if they desire to save five per cent. There should he no halting between two opinions as to the date and the saving of five per cent. ANOTHER AUCTIONEER.—From in- formation in another column we notice that one more auctioneer has taken up his residence in Clinton. The new - coiner, it is expected, will for some time be under the instruction of Auctioneer Carling. MASONIC.—Clinton Lodge No. 84, A. F. and A. M., meets on Friday even- ing, when the election of officers for the ensuing year will take place. The brethren will also meet on St. John's Day, Thursday, Dec. 27, at 7.30 p. ln. SEVERE ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday of last week Miss A. Townsend, who is boarding with Mrs. 11. Potter, slipped on the steps and fell, breaking her arm between the elbow and wrist. The young lady will of' course he laid up for a considerable time. THE SKATING RINK.—The Messrs. Kemp inform THE NEWS -RECORD that they are likely to run the ice skating rink this winter. They are reliable and industrious young ,nen and with favorable weather will provide considerable recreation for our people. JACKSON BROS. have justly earned a game as progressive business men. The firm are staunch believers in the legitimate use of printers' ink. They have an advertisement in the Christ- mas number of Toronto Saturday Night. Those who do not advertise in this progressive age have not yet learned one of the greatest secrets of success. AFFLICTION.—Of late Mr. Geo. Han- ley, of town, who will shortly be 78 years of age, has been subject to eve trouble. The other Jay a specialist in- formed hien that a cataract was fully developed on one of them and that one was growing on the other. The afflic- tion is about the same as befel Mr. Gladstone, late Prime Minister of Eng- land. RECRUITS WANTED.—Mr. Slunk, the popular leader of the Town Band, informs THE NEWS -RECORD that he will, if applicants are numerous enough, form a class of young men and instruct them in band music. The idea is an excellent one, and there should be a good supply of students. Those who have an inclination for music should interview the leader of the Band. TRIP AROUND THE WORLD.—Mr. W. E. Ramsay's "trip around the world," given in the town hall on Friday even- ing, under the auspices of the Mechan- ics Institute, was not liberally attend- ed by our citizens. The entertainment was of a very high order and interest- ing throughout. The scenes were of the very best, and the songs that were sandwiched in relieved the monotony greatly, so that interest in the trip never waned. The whole entertain- ment was British first, last and always. Those who did not witness the sights centainly missed a rare treat ; besides, the Institute is deserving of a much better support from the people of Clin- ton and vicinity. PROF. THOMSON'S DEATH.—The Toronto Globe of Monday thus refers to the death of a native of the town- ship of Hullet:—Prof. R. Y. Thomson, M. A., B. D., who for some years had filled the chair of homiletics, pastoral theology and church government at Knox College and who. had been seri- ously ill of consumption for some months, died yesterday at noon, at his residence, 14 Nassau street. Deceased was a very popular and highly esteem- ed member of the college staff,.both by reason of his attainments and of his per conal qualities. He was 37 years of age. His chair was temporarily filled at a session of Knox College Senate' A. funelal service will .be held at 11 o'clock this morning, at the late resi- dence of the deceased, Interment will take place at Hullett, the former home of Prof. Thomson, and where his mother yet silrvives him, on Wednes- day.
