STREET Watering. -Mr. Miller is doing everything possible to give a good service. In order to secure a more abundant supply of water and have control over a reserve, he has erected a tank over the engine house with a capacity of several hundred barrels and another well has been sunk. More water is required for the streets this year than formerly. ASSIGNED. -An assignment has been made by Mrs. M. R. Robins. Her husband was at one time a member of the firm of Robins Bros., stationers, Mitchell and Clinton, who failed in 1894. After this they moved to Ridge - town, where they opened a book and confectionery business in her name. Last month their offer of of 50 per cent. cash, was acccepted by creditors, but failing to obtain the money, the result is as above stated. DEAD LETTERS.- Probably there is no part of the public service in Canada so assiduously watched and well look- ed after as that of the Post Office. The remarkably small number of let- tetb that go astray is evidence of this. Even when letters do go astray as a rule the fault lies with the party ad- dressing the letter. To show how exact the officials are we might men- tion the case of a registered letter posted in Clinton on January 19 last. It was in connection with voters' list appeals and not being called for in due time was forwarded to the dead letter office at Ottawa and finally reached the sender at Clinton last week. A print- ed card on the coroner of the envelope brought it hack unbroken. RETURNED HOME. -The Whitely school boy, who left town May 16, on a pedestrain tour through Huron, Mid- dlesex and Lambton counties, was lo- cated by his father at Sarnia, and ar- rived hone Tuesday evening. The boy had no definite object in view when he left home. He merely wanted to get away from school. He was not in Tor- onto or London, as reported. He ke; t scrupulously' to the Queen's highway and to visiting the small towns and the beautiful rural portions of the prettiest province in the Dominion. He footed it all the way to Sarnia without a cent, going through Bruce - field, Kippen, Hensel!, Exeter, Centra- lia, Clandehoye, Parkhill, Forest. &c. -I3e worked at various farms for his entertainment, and could have had per- il anent employment. Jut "onward" was his motto. He found that there is considerable human nature in man- kind and especially in womankind. His quiet demeanor and friendless ap- pearance excited the sympathies of all upon whom he called, and he fared much better than he deserved, or pro- bably would again. His father, in searching for him, found among stern railway men, police officers and hotel men, many who have hearts that can "feel for another's woe," more especi- ally when the grief of a mother was alluded to. Mr. Whitely says he also was the recipient of kindly practical courtsies at the hands of Clinton G. T. R. agent Pattison, Conductor Parker, T. C. Doherty, and Chief of Police Windred, of Sarnia. The latter gentle- man, by, the way, is a brother-in-law of J. C. Miller, of the Clarendon, Clin- ton, and treated the boy with the kind- ness of a father; he is a living enbodi- ment of official shrewdness and dis- crimination, and proof that proper feeling of sensitive manhood can live and have their being beneath the blue coat of a police officer ; and that the influences of home and • domestic ties have a beneficent effect upon the in- dividual in his dealings with the "wide, wide, world." While at Sarnia Mr. Whitely was made quite at, hone by mine hosts of the Chapman House. igs.ws SooIAL,..--T.lI Baptista ars preparing tot, a grand, lawn social on the church grounds on Tliursdaty even 19g, .dune 1$, Ise cream, strawberries, pineapple and create, colfae, lemonade, cake, nuc., will be provided and. en enjoyable time is expected..

A "MEALY-MOUTHED GENT". -The Stevenson Concert Co. are a refined (?) class of people and we presume they put up a very fair concert, but we would advise people,m ore especially the newspaper fraternity of this section, to demand their cash in advance for any little printing they may require. The mealy-mouthed manager ot this vast Company forgot to pay for the printing and advertising he received while here. He is not only a deadbeat but might also be called aprofessional liar. - Palmerston Reporter. The troup have been rusticating here for the past two weeks. They did not get into The Bee, however. These mush- room theatrical troops are worth watching. -Atwood Bee. ACCIDENTS. - Last Thursday Mr. Hugh Sturdy, Goderich township, met; with a serious accident. He was work- ing on the barn en Jonathan Miller's (McCullough) farm on the Huron Road, and while standing on the plate handl- ing a rafter, some 20 feet from the ground, he lost his balance.and jumped to the ground. His wrist and ankle were sprained and some small hones broken. 1.1e will be laid up for some time. -The other day Mr. Geo. H. Ball, of the Base Line, had a narrow escape from being gored to death. He was leading a heifer and the animal became umnanegeahle and he tied her to the fence. She broke away. When secur- ing her the beast turned on hire and pinned him to the ground, the horns grazing either side of his body. Mr. Ball secured his liberty and ebecaped almost miraculously. He was laid up for a few days, but is around again not much the worse.

ST. PAUL'S GUILD CONCERT. -The concert ureter the auspices of St. Paul's Guild last Friday evening was in elf respects a decided success. The stage decoration, the work of Mrs. Parke and lady assistants, presented a charming appearance. The only disappointment was the non-appearance of Dir. Collins of Exeter, otherwise the programme was carried out with the addition of an instrumental duet by Miss Combe and Miss Parra n.. Every nnmbet. receivedan encore. Mrs. Ethel Orr, soprano, in the solos "Fleeting Days," "Sing, Smile. Slumber," and the "Pattison Waltz Song," the letter with harp ac- companiment, were heartily received and the lady will always he welcomed back to Clinton. Master Willie Wilson, the boy soprano, possesses an evenly balanced voice of great sweetness and purity, and sings with surprising ex- pression and finish ; he was warmly encored on every appearance and bore his well -merited honors very modestly; "Angels bright and fair," "Japenese Lullaby" and "Should he upbraid" were peculiarly suited to his voice ; so delighted were those present that the Committee at once reengaged Master Willie to sing in the church on the following Sunday. Mrs. Hunt, of Exeter, sang two solos, "The Nairies" and "Answer," and was received with 'marked favor ; the lady has a powerful and well-trained voice fully under con- trol. Little Lola Miller's solo "Where is Heaven?" brought forth an encore which she acknowledged. Mr. Hal- pany, comic, gave "Don't forget your poor old dad" in character and was compelled to respond. Miss McHardy performed the duties of acompaniste to the fatisfaction of every one. "God save the Queen" brought the entertain- ment to a close. The receipts were nearly $60. fi .t this season of the year everyone is making some alteration in their Horne, by putting in some new piece of Furniture.

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS In any line lies in having that guide to success ever at. your side, viz., competition. It is the competiton of the cheap factory -made, read- mades that has spurred on the production of the nigh unap proachable value we offer in ]Mens' Suits, We mean the value shown in a Man's Suit at $10. The $7, $10, and $12 Men's Suits, sell right AO in face of the competition ot Factory -Made Suits at very much lower prices. What is the reason of this? The 1st and principal rea- son is that the public have entire confidence in the superior make of our Ready-mades. The 2nd is that the fit of these Suits is as near per— fection as possible. The 3rd is that thepatterns are always up-to-date, fresh and bright. A special being offered just now is an inclined Suit of an all wool cloth selling at $5.00 (our own make.) JACKSON :-: BROS.
