THE man who advertises has to buy
more goods and hire more help than
the man who dosen't advertise. It is a
nuisance to be put to the expense of
buying and hiring. Don't advertise
and you won't have to do businesss.
ANOTHER BUSINESS CHANGE.—There
is still another business change to
announce. The butchering busiuess so
Jong conducted by Mr. John Scruton
was on Monday purchased by Mr.
Lack Kennedy, and he has taken pos-
• session. The business will as hereto-
fore be conducted with care and
promptness. Easter coming within a
few days, it is hardly possible to ar-
range a full display for that date. Mr.
Scruton will remain with Mr. Ken-
iredy.
HURON'S EXPERIMENTAL FRUIT
STATION.—On Tuesday Mr. H. A.
Petitt, of Grimsby, was in Clinton
entering into preliminary arrange-
ments for the establishment of an Ex-
perimental Fruit Station for Huron at
some point near Clinton. The Ontario
. Gov�eej�nnwent decided some time since
to establish a number of these stations
throughout the Province, the object
being to give practical instructions in
fruit spraying. In the course of a
short tame a representative will be
detailed to give instructions and for
• experimental purposes some neighbor-
ing farmer's orchard set aside. The
presence of Mr. Petitt in Clinton last
week was not generally known.

ONTARIO ST. METHODIST Cannon.—
The revival services in this church are
still in progress, and are proving very
successful. At the services on Sunday
and Monday evenings of this week,
about twenty persons publicly express-
ed their desire for salvation and their
purpose to enter upon a Christian life.
Some of these are very promising
young men and young women. The
services are conducted by the actor.
The Rev. J. W. Hohnes, of the Uatten-
bury St. Church has rendered valuable
help at several services, and last
week the Rev. J. Edge of Goderich
assisted for two evenings. His many
warm friends were delighted to see
and hear him again. The services are
being continued this week.
INTERMEDIATE LACROSSE CLUB.—As
announced in last week's NEws-RF.-
,crEVDD, there was a meeting last Wed-
nesday evening in the parlors of the
Hdtel Clarendon to organize an inter-
mediate Lacrosse Club. There was a
good attendance, and the deepest in-
terest manifested for the successful
carrying out of the national game.
There is abundance of material in Clin-
ton for a crack club; in fact for one of
tie best in the Province as an ell -round
"team. Last summer Recreation Park
was the scene of several lively and
well -contested games and citizens gen-
erally showed deep interest by their
.presence. This year there should he
even greater encouragement given the
Intermediate Lacrosse Club. The
game expands, sustains and demon-
strates the staying powers of our
young men and is worthy a hearty
support. On Wednesday evening or-
ganization was completed and the
following officers elected :—Pres., N.
Fair ; Vice -Pres., B. J. Gibbings ; Sec.,
R. H Read ; Treas., Ogle Cooper ; Cap-
tain, F. R. Beattie ; Com.. S. Hanlon,
Robt. Twitchell, J. Kennedy ; Hon.

Mr. Win. Laramie and Miss Aggie,
Hunter, of Mensal!, were united in
marriage on Thursday week. The

moon in Clinton,
Mrs. Elizabeth Littlejohns, of Exeter,
was attending to the household duties
at the residence of Mr. E. E. Ward, of
the Molsons Bank, the other afternoon,
when she fell and broke her hip.
Mr. James Archibald has purchased
Mr. D. D. Wilson's Harpurhey farm,
containing 122 acres for the sum of
$6,500. Mr. Archibald sold to Mr.
Wilson 40 acres adjoining Seaforth,
which Mr. Wilson resold to Mr. J. Mc-
Mann for the sura of $3,000.
Since the binning of Main street
Methodist church; Exeter, the question
of a union of the two Methodist bodies
in that town has been discussed quite
freely, and has gained favor. The
proposal made by the Main street
people was that the James street con-
gregation join in the erection of a new
church in a central 'ocation.
COUNCIL NOTEs.—Councillors Taylor
and Gilroy being appointed to report
on the alleged willow tree nuisance is
hardly fair; the whole town should be
represented from every ward ; specta-
tors were surprised at Mr. Searle being
too sleepy to vote on such a question,
though he opened his eyes later on.
Mr. Bruce's point of orderwas well
taken because Mr. Searle was not
speaking to the subject before the
Board. The Mayor then took a hand
in and also digressed from the question
at issue and afterward called Mr.
Searle down for the slime offence.—
The matter of street watering was el -
most allowed to go by default; some
members of the Council are such good
reasoners that people are led to con-
clude because the Town pays $100 it
should not pay that ; the argument is
neither reasonable or just.—rhe Coun-
cil decided that the comniittee might
rent the chamber to the Young Liber-
als and Mr. Searle objected because he
had a room for rent, ut did not object
to the town hall office being rented be-
cause he had not suitable premises for
a barber shop ; how does this affect the
"independence of parliament" act ?—
It was rather a peculiar proceeding to
grant $100 toward street watering with-
out knowing the exact cost of the service
per day or month or for the season ;
but then the business men, who pay
taxes on their steres and personal pro-
perty, and private dwellings "on the
back streets can go down still deeper
and pay handsomely to make things
comfortable for those who do not con-
tribute nearly so much to the general
revenue of the town.—It is just pos-
sible that Gilroy and Taylor may set-
tle the alleged nuisance by recommend-
ing that the Council remove the wil-
low trees from the Park.—r'heGovern-
ment should act promptly in the Stave-
ly estate matter, and Mr. Garrow
should press them to do so. The May-
or hinted that the market square might.
be used on which to erect the proposed
library building.
CLINTON COUNCIL.—Regi.lar meet-
ing Monday evening, all the mernhers
ht present except the Reeve. There
was no action on the unsolicited tender
of J. Day went and R. Stevens, offer-
ing to extend the town hall tower for
clock, and guaranteeing satisfaction,
for $132.50. The petition of James
Stevens and 21 others asking that the
Council erect wire fence on the west
side of Base Line from the town north
to slaughter house, to prevent snow
blockades, was referred to Committee.
After a long discussion and several
votes the petition of Messrs. Rowell,
Hanlon, 1-1unt, Cooper, Dodd, Kerr
and Young; to have the willow trees
on south side of Park removed (a re -
guest also made last year) was by a
vote of 5 to 4 referred to Councillors
Taylor and Gilroy to confer with Park
committee and report at next council
meeting. Dr. Shaw was appointed
Health Officer and Joseph Wheatley In-
spector. Deputy -Reeve Kennedy report-
ed that quotations had heen received for
lumber, etc., no purchases yet being
made. Councillor Searle reported for
• himself and Overberry as to the re-
moval of trees, etc., some mernhers
objecting to the cost being higher than
proposed. The finance committee re-
port was adopted : Street $9,90, pro-
perty $63.05, cemetery $18, fire and
water $43.50, charity $73.20. Receipts
—rent ot hall and office $30, market
scales $15.20, stock scales $7.25, ceme-
tery $38. The sum of $7 per month
was granted for keep of Miss White,
providing she be reproved to London
hospital or elsewhere. Treasnrer Rob -
son's statement.for March showed : Re-
, ceipts and balance $2,921.72, payments
A 1,478.52, leaving balance on band of
1,443.20. A lengthy discussion on
street watering resulted on the pro-
position of Gilroy and Taylor to grant
$200 instead of $100 as formerly, the
latter sum being finally granted, and
the committee were instructed to as-
certain what arrangements could be
imide with Mr. Miller. The proposed
town clock was discussed and it was
finally decided to leave the matter in
abeyance in the hope that the Stavely
estate Money would be granted by the
goVornmont for a public reading room

HEALTH AND LIFE ENDANGERED BY
UNSCRUPULOUS DEALERS WHO PER-
SUADE UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE TO
TAKE IMITATIONS—SOME POINTERS
WORTH REMEMBERING.
WHOLE NO. 855
Prof. Cftarner1a!n, �.
' No medicine that is not of more than
ordinary merit suffers from imitations
or substitutes. The fact that an imita-
tion is offered is one of the strongest
proofs of the excellent qualities of the
genuine article. The Dr. Williams
Medicine Co. is continually trying to
impress upon the public the fact that
Dl'. Williams Pink Pills are only sold
in securely sealed boxes, the wrapper
around which is printed in red ink and
bears the registered trade mark "Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People."
Notwithstanding this constant warn-
ing there are unscrupulous dealers
here and there who defraud the public
tiV`selling an irnitation pill (also color-
ed pink) either by the dozen, hundred
or by the ounce, alleging that they are
"just as good," or "just the same" as
the genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
This is a falsehood and the unscrupu-
lous dealer who offers the irnitation
knows it, but is more concerned for
the extra profit he snakes on the imita-
tion than for the health of his unfor-
tunate victim.
Will the public, in their own interest,
hear in`mind the following facts, -1)r.
Williams' Pink Pills are never sold by
the dozen, hundred or ounce. if any
dealer offers you a pill in this form (no
matter whether colored pink or not)
he is trying to cheat you and should be
avoided.
The formula ofDr.Williams'PinkPills
is a secret and is known only to the com-
pany. Therefore if some dealer tells
you a substitute is "just the same" or
"just as good" he is simply trying to
deceive you because there is a larger
profit for him in selling the imitation.
When you ask for Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills see that the trade mark is on
the wrapper of every package, and do
not be persuaded to take anything else,
no matter how plausible a story the
dealer may tell. Imitations in medi-
cine are always cheap, always worth-
less and often dangerous, and people
who have a care for their health will
always refuse thein.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pilus cure when
other medicines fail. That's why they
are imitated, and that is why you
should insist on getting the genuine.
Used as a spring medicine Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills sili•pass all other medi-
cines. If feeling "out of sorts" give
thein a trial.

ice to he seen on the lake from this
