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. IND.EPENAHNP IN ALL TH1NG8-NRUTR4L IN NOTHING A. JI. TODD, Eirltpr end Owner (;LINTON- H1,TRON COUNTY, ONT. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 3, 1895 , Town Topics. 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. members, Geo. D. McTaggart, Allen Turnbull, W. Doherty, Geo. Morrison, J. Fair, Jr., John C. Miller. County Currency. Mr. Win. Laramie and Miss Aggie, Hunter, of Mensal!, were united in marriage on Thursday week. The happy couple spent part of their honey- 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 esti Which a town clock could be erect - We understand that Mr. Graham, contractor of London, is about to issue a writ against the corporation and a Mr. Elliott, contractor, of St. Marys, restraining them from going on with the proposed granolithic sidewalk in Exeter.

The desks were taken from some of the rooms and a few books saved. The building was insured for $1,000, which is a comparatively small remuneration for the loss. Many whisperings of incendiarism are preva- lent. The fire was noticed about 0.30. After it was quenched the School Board met for the purpose of mtAking arrangements to secure other rooms, which has since been done, Two of the rooms will he accorodated in the Town Hall, one in the Orange Hall and one in the building -formerly occupied by Cardiff & Kirkby.

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.

The finding of the remains settles them all except the cause of death and whether that was accidental or by murder we cannot state, though the fact that he was supposed to have a decent sum in his possession, and was a quiet, good living young roan. would lead one to believe that he was sand- bagged before immersion.
