fortitude. She was a great sufferer,
but amid suffering she repined not;
her uniform and oft -repeated testi-
mony being that "all things work
together for good to them that love
God." She was a Member of the On-
tario Street Methodist Church, and
while able, was active in Christian
work, and by this activity as well as
by her patient resignation to affliction,
she proved herself worthy of being
numbered among the disciples of the
Great Galilean. So young, so fair, a
shining work which death did not
miss. The funeral took place on Tues-
day from the family residence on On-
tario St. Rev. Mr. Edge, of Goderich,
a former pastor, and friend of the

dowed their home.—Coal.

subject No. 2. The address was char-
acteristic of broadness of thought and
was delivered in a very impressive
manner. After another helpful dis-
cussion the committee previously ap-
pointed were called upon to give their
report and the following resolution,
after some fuether discussion, Was
adopted, and a- committee of three,
namely, Messrs. Foster, .Holmes and
Irwin appoipted to carry out Its re-
quirements :—"Resolved, that in the
opinion of this meeting the closing of
the stores on Saturday evening, at a
later hour than 9 o'ciclock leads to a
certain amount of Sabbath breaking,
and in order to avoid this we recom-
mend that all the business° men of
whatever occupation be asked to sign
an agreement to close their places of
busines at 9 p. m. on Saturday. We
also urge upon all Christian people to
make their purchases as early in the
day as possible and thus help in carry- pia
ing out such agreement." After the Exe

erous and costly. A sumptuous wed-
ding feast was served, after which the

RECORD extends congratulations.
NEWSPAPER SUBBCRIpTIONs.--J At
this season of the year many city, news-
ppapers are offering "big inducements"
to country newspaper men to club local
tmpers with them. As far as THE
NEWS -RECORD is concerned we riiiVti
determined to stand on our own foot-
ing and conduct an independent husi-
ness. We give exceptionally good and•
honest value, while many of these city
sharks are simply swindling a too con-
fiding public through the over -confid-
ing local newspaper. When. we say
this we speak of what we know. There
are of course straight and reliable busi-
ness firms in the various cities, but
Tau NEWS -RECORD will not club with
any. We will; however, accept sub-
scriptions for papers we are authorized
to db business for and shall guarantee
what contract calls for. Past experi-
ence has led us to the conclusion that
we will protect our patrons rather
than have them deceived and eyen
swindled.
THE LATE DONALD Rosi.—The death
of Donald Ross on Monday morning
was a surprise to the people of Clinton.
His age was but 52 years and 9 months.
Last March that dread affliction, can-
cer, developed in his chin and throat,
and from that time forward he under-
went five operations in Detroit, Chic-
ago and Clinton for the removal of the
trouble, the last time about three
months ago. Under all the trying
circumstances he bore up heroically
and was on the street last week, re-
maining for a time with his sister,
Mrs. Fraser, Victoria street. Blood
poisoning and internal affections, how-
ever, suddenly snapped the vital chord
and his end was peace, Born in Nova
Scotia, he came to Ontario in 1840, and
settled on the farm on the 2nd conces-
sion of Stanley. In 1876 he married
Miss Christina Cameron, the widow
and two sons and one daughter surviv-
ing, one daughter being deceased. The
late Mr. Ross was a member of the
Sons of Scotland and an active direc-
tor of the McKillop Insurance com-
pany, a staunch reformer in polities
and a Presbyterian in religion. The
funeral takes place from his late home
in Stanley to -day. - —

THE BIG LAW SUIT.—The case of
Mrs. Halliday vs. the township of
Stanley, was tried at the Sarnia Assizes
last week, and resulted in a disagree-
ment of the jury, seven being for the
defendant and five for the plaintiff.
The suit, it will be remembered, arose
frorn an accident which occurred over
0 year ago on the 2nd concession of
Stanley, opposite the farm of Mr. John
Ketchen. Mrs. Halliday, the plaintiff,
who resides in Sarnia, was driving
along the road in a sulky with
a gentleman, when, it is suppos,
ed, the horse got frightened, made 'a
bolt and upset the vehicle, throwing
the occupants out. Mrs. Halliday was
severely injured. She ultimately
brought an action against the town-
ship claiming $10,000 damages for the
injuries sustained. The action was
based upon the contention that the
road, at the point where the accident
took place, was too narrow, and con-
sequently unsafe for public travel,
The result of the trial leaves the case
just as it was before proceedings were
taken, except that each party will have
to pay their own costs. Itis expected,
however, that the action will now be
dropped.

SALT DISCOVERED AT GODERICH
AND GODERICH SALT WORKS ESTAS-
LisHED 1866.—The salt made at these
works was pronounced by Dr. Sterry,
D. Hunt and other eminent Professors
of Chemistry to be the purest and best
salt to be found anywhere in this wide
world. This salt at once took the lead
of all others and has maintained it ever
since to which fact thousands of testi-
monials from people all over this North
American Continent will willingly tes-
tify to its strength, fine flavor and pre-
serving powers. These works are operat-
ed by P. McEwan, who is one of the old-
est manufacturers of salt in Canada to-
day, having a chemical process entirely
his own for purifying this salt and pre-
paring it for the market that has en-
abled him to keep the lead up to the
present date, October, 1895.

On Wednesday mornnig the western
residents of Lucknow were surprised
to hear of the death of Archibald Mc-
Donald, (better known as "Lord Mc-
Donald of the Isles.") Although an old
man he had been out on Sunday to at -
the communion services at South Kin-
loss. He was also in Goderich on Mon-
day, and in all probability the cold of
Sunday and the fatigue of the Goderich
trip, hastened the old gentleman's
death. He was a regular attendant et.
the Gaelic services of the Presbyterian,
church, and a native of one of the Is-
lands on the west coast of Scotland.
Some years ago he sold his farm in Ash-
fleld and came to Lucknow to live.
Deceased was a man of most kindly
nature and had a son killed in the Am-
erican war. He leaves a widow and
two daughters,
