I3puen SOLD.—Mrs Kitt has sold her
Cott age below the Catholic Church to
Mr Holden, of the Soo, for the sum of
'111300; there is a quarter -acre lot in add-
ition. He has got a bargain, and Mrs
Kitt let itgo only because she is desirous
of returning to Dakota, to which place
she goes next month.
SURGICAL—Mr Dan Ross, of Stan-
ley, has already undergone two opera-
tions for the removal of a cancer from
the interior of his mouth, but as it still
l troubles him somewhat he left on Mon-
day morning, expecting to go to De-
troit, where he would meet Dr. Elliott,
late of Brucefleld, and be put under
treatment for removal of the trouble -
tome affair.
PROPERTY CHANGE.—Mr Peter Can-
telon, jr., has bought from Joseph
Townsend, Tuckersmith,. the lot on
Princess St., just west of Mr Menzies',
paying then efore $225. It is a corner
lot, well situated and Mr Cantelon has
secured it at a reasonable price. We
believe it is his intention to erect a
` dwelling on it.
ARBOR DAY.—As Arbor Day is ap-
proaching, we understand that the
Tree Oti nmittee, Messrs Searle and
Overbury; will receive the number of
street trees that persons may desire to
plant, so that persons bringing in trees
for sale can have names to call on.
Trees should be planted 16 or 30 feet
apart, in a line nine feet from the fence.
, If desired the committee will see to the
-planting of trees for citizens. -
FAR1lI CHANGES.—Mr A. O. Pattison
has sold his farm on the extreme limit
of the Maitland con., Goderich town-
ship, to Mr Chas. Hanley, late of town,
for something in the neightorhood of
$3000. There are 87 acres, with house
and outbuildings.
Mr G. D. McTaggart, of town, has
rented the Tayle ,.farm, Huron road,
Goderich township; to the present ten-
ant, Mie Tawle,or one year, and sold it
to W: 1onkr, ti)lett, ;subject to this
lease.
OLD ASsociATEs.—In the olden days
of Clinton High School, three boys
who attended it and were chums, were
"Bill" Butt, "Jim" Parke and "Billy"
Coats. These persopg are now Rev.
W. H. Butt, of Centralia; Rev. J. F
Parke, of Clinton, and W. Coats,
To Clerk,nd they all had the plea-
greetig each other on Monday
to rng,five'r the o ' experiences.
e
I satt fr member a ,trio had
only ge into the mi stry'a1so, the
coincidence would have been complete.
LICENSE COMMISSIONERS.—An ad-
journed meeting of West Huron Lic-
ense Commissioners was held at the
Inspector's office, here, on Monday
l
afternoon. A well -signed petition
was presented, asking that a license
be granted to Mr Robt. Mason, Clin-
ton. The Commissioners granted a
three -months' extension, during which
time Mr Mason is to find a tenant who
shall be acceptable to the Commission-
, ers; otherwise the license to lapse. A
• license was granted to Mr Carroll, of
Saltford. Two petitions relating to
Benmiller hotel were laid before the
Commissioners, one for and the other
against granting a license. Both had
a considerable number of sienatures,
the latter having 45 ratepayers on it.
This petition stated that no objection
was entertained to the present lic-
ensee, Mr -Hamilton, but it was believ-
ed that the hotel was unnecessary.
The Commissioners took this view of
the matter, and refused the license.
ABAD FALL.—On Tuesday afternoon
Mr. Robt. Mason, of town, went out to
his farm on the base line to repair the
roof of the barn. He had just about
finished,and while working at the ridge
board, turned around for a shingle,
when he lost his balance, and fell back-
ward over the gable, falling a distance
of over 30 feet, to the ground. He was
at once taken to the house and medical
aid summoned. It was found that his
ankle was broken and he was so badly
injured in the back that it was feared
his back was broken, though it has
turned out since that this is not the
case. Nearly all his teeth were loosen-
ed,and he was pretty badly shaken up.
The wonder is that he was not instant-
ly killed. rile lower limbs are paralyz-
ed, but the doctors have hopes of his
recovery, though it will be a good while
before he gets around. Before he left
town to do the work, he was cautioned
to be careful or he would fall off, brit
he jokingly replied that "he was not
afraid, as he bad been there before."
DEATHS.—Mr Matthew Lough, In-
spector of the British Canadian Loan
& Investment. Company, and a member
of the Provincial Land Surveyors' Ass-
ociation, died at his residence, 101 Bloor
street west,Toronto, on Thursday. Mr
• Lough was for several years manager
of the Molsona hank here, and was res-
pected by our citizens generally; he
leaves a wife and family.
Wallace Graham, formerly of the
Parkhill Gazzette, and well-known in
newspaper circles, is said to have com-
mitted suicide in the States a few days
since.
The wife of Mr James Higgins of Sar-
i!-. nia,died a few days ago from the effects
of a cancer. Mr Higgins is an old Clin-
tonian, being the eldest son of Mr Wm.
Higgins.
The funeral of Mr Herbert Watters
was very largely attended on Friday;
the employees of the Organ Factory
and the Oddfellows being out in force,
- The pall -bearers were Messrs. Kerr,
Israel, Foster, Gibbings, Laurence, and
Castles, all fellow -workmen.
Quite a number of the old friends and
• former associates of Mrs C. A. Hartt,
assembled at the residence last Sunday
afternoon, to pay their last tribute of
respect to her memory. The funeral
services were conducted by Mr Somer-
ville, of Brantford.
YOUNG LIBjtu4L8,---The Young Lib -
end Assooiatiori will meet in the Coun-
cil Chamber this (Friday) evening,
when the debate on Woman Suffrage
will take place. The speakers are, for
the affirmative, Messrs McLeod and

fortunate. Mr Ab. Moore (son of Mrs

THE CLINTON -EW ERA
ust Remember
When you go to bvy a Carpet that we have the biggest stock,
the greatest variety to select from in the county, that our
close cash prices are the lowest in the trade, that ours is the
biggest and best lighted carpet room, lots of light and floor
room so you can see just how the carpet will look when down,
and that we make and lay all Carpets bought of us without
extra chu rge.
Carpets
Sixty cents the yard, an Ex-
tra Super Union Carpet,
not jute and cotton only like
most of unions, but a good
portion of wool woven with
them. Patterns and appear-
ance as good as the best all
wools, but of course it will not
wear as well.
Take- this as a sample of
values, down to a Union at
32e. and up to extra super
heavy all wool at 90c
Carpets
Sixty cents the yard, a very
fine Tapestry Carpet. The
back firmly woven and strong.
The top all pure wool with
pile fine, thick and close that
will not wear off quickly, pat-
tern quiet and tasty, and as
for value it is as good as we
used to sell at 76c.
Take this as a sample of
valises down to a Tapestry at
37-c and up to best Brussels
with border at $L25
Spare
the
Rod
And save the carpet by using
the new Patent Folded Pa-
per Carpet Lining. It is 3
thicknesses of heavy paper,
folded in such a way that the
folds absorb the dust that
sifts through the carpet, it
falls into the creases and is
not ground back into the
carpet. With it underneath
your carpet will be softer to
walk on and wear much longer
Those
Corsets
Made to sell at $1, $1.15 and
$1.25, selling for 58cts , and
those made to sell at $1.50,
$1 75 and $2, , oiling for 69
cents, are going out quickly.
They are selling so cheap be-
cause we got a lot of odd sizes
and makes at a great bargain.
We had all sizes but 21 last
week, now 20 and 22 are sold
out.

It is Not . .

To state that one of the best evidences a business man can
have that his prices are right is the presence in his store
of `Shrewd Buyers" as regular customers. What kind
of a person is a shrewd buyer? The easiest customer in
tree world to sell to. He knows good value when he
sees it.
All shrewd buyers will see the
