under tbeauspices of St. Paul's Church
Guild was formed last Friday evening.
Miss McNaughton was elected treasur-
er and Mr. 0., Bowers secretary.
Several new choir :members have been
obtained and the reorganization prom-
ises to give the organist, Miss Mc -
Hardy, greater scope and will doubt-
less add to the interest in general
church wore.
SEVERE FAMILY AFFLICTION.—Mr.
and Mrs Jacob Miller have been sorely
afflicted of late through accident and
sickness in their .family. Recently
their little daugher Dell fell and broke
her leg and was just recovering when
Miss Miller was stricken with intima-
tion. but we are pleased to say, though
not but of danger, is recovering. Miss
Ida is also laid up with an affection of
one hand, Guy with a sore knee, and
Ineas with some other trouble. Truly,
troubles never come singly.

other points to spend the honeymoon.
Although a few hours in advance,
THE NEWS -RECORD wishes Mr. and
Mrs. Laurie a happy and prosperous
voyage through life. In doing so we
but voice the sentiments of all their
acquaintances.
COMING To RESIDE. —We arepleased
to learn that Mr. D. Weismiller has de-
termined on settling in eithsr Clinton
or Goderich, where he will engage in
business. Ile will find many friends to
welcome him in either town. At the
sam_c time we would, while not desir-
ing to use any undue influence, recom-
mend that he investigate the many ad-
vantages such a thriving town as Clin-
ton possesses. There is an excellent
opening here for a pork factory, can-
ning factory, twine factory, furniture
factory, wholesale hoot and shoe fac-
tory, and many other lines of busi-
ness he might profitably engage in..
FROM Barmen COLUMBIA.—Mr. Don-
ald Buchanan, formerly of Clinton, in
writing from Victoria, B, C., under
date of Oct. 16, says :—"The weather
here is grand. ° Effie and I are fixing
up the flower beds and cutting the
lawn grass to -day; that sounds much
nicer on paper than a snow storm,
which you are receiving the usual share
of. I had agentleman by the name of
Innes from Cariboo, B. (3., call on me
last winter. Forty years ago we part-
ed in Woodstock. Out., when he came
to British Columbia, and I went up to
the Huron Tract and settled in Clinton.
Remember me tc all inquiring friends."
VARIETY Is THE SPICE OF LIFE.—
The editor of an exchange says : A
wisely -conducted newspaper is like a
banquet;; everything is served up with
a view to variety. Help yourself to
whatever you wish • and do not con-
demn the entire spread because pickles
and onions may be included. If you do
not relish them somebody else will find
them palatable. Be generous and
broad enough to select gracefully such
reading matter from the newspaper as
will be agreeable to your mental taste.
You, as an individual, are not compell-
ed to swallow everything. We do
not all think alike on every subject;
and itis a good thing, as it makes more
variety, and "variety is the spice of
life."
M. C. CAMERON NOMINATED.—A
convention of the Liberals of West
Huron was held at Dungannon last
Friday. There were several delegates
present from Clinton. The following

cuddy, Goderich, president; Jos. Griffin,
Kingsbride, first vice-president; R.
Holmes, Clinton, second vice; Jas.
Young, Auburn, third vice; Wm. Coats,

tions were passed endorsing the leader-
ship of Mr. Laurier and the Ottawa
Liberal platform; also one of condol-
ence to the family of the late president,,
A. H. Manning, who had died since
last convention. Report says the un-
animous nomination was uncondition-
ally tendered to M. C. Cameron, and
was accepted in an address of one hour
and a half's duration, after which the
convention adjourned.
ST. JosEPu,s CHURCH.—Rev. Father
West will speak next Sunday evening
at St. Joseph's church on the following
points :-1—Catholics do not pray to the
dead instead of God. 2—Forms of pray-
er now in use by certain non-Catholics
in their invocations of the living,the
saints, and the angels. 3—Liddeland
Scott's Greek -English Lexicon in giv-
ing the meaning of eidolon does not
say that shape, image, form, idol and
falseGod are equivalen t terms. 4—Cath-
olics do not pray to images or relics.
5—What Catholics mean by the invoca-
tion of saints. Proofs from the old and
the new Testament that the saints have
regarded in their prayers those who live
on earth. 0—Tbe three divisions of the
ten Commandments; (1) The origin
Philo Josephus system of division,
followed by Protestants generally, and
the Greek church; (2) The Talmud or
Jewish division; (3) The St. Augus-
tine division followed by Roman
Catholics and Lutherans. 7—As to doc-
trine these divisions seem to have lit-
tle or no practical importance. 8—
Images are not in themselves strictly
speaking, venerated or adored. Those
who wish to hear these subjects dis-
cussed are, kindly invited. Questions
will be answered by means of the gees -
tion box.

potatoes, every signs of a fire for
cooking, and a piece of cloth which
might identify the poor creature, on
the farm of Mr. Naftel on the 4th con-
cession of Goderich township. Mr.
Welsh sent the particulars to con-
stable Westacott at Exeter and he ap-
peared on the scene yesterday and is
now investigating the matter. The
cloth is the same as Regau's clothes
DEATH OF A PIONEER.—There passed
away on Thursday to the eternal city
one who was in the fullest sense of the
term a pioneer resident of the county.
We refer to Mrs. Shipley, relict of the
late William Shipley, of the Huron
road, Hullett, near town. Although
more or less enfeebled for several years
by reason of her age, she had never
had an illness worth mentioning, and
was even able to get up the day before
she died, which was- evidently -due to
age, she being ever 93 years old. She
was a woman of more than ordinary
intellectual force and intelligence, able
to bold her own in an argument per-
taining to either social, scientific or re-
ligious questions, and retained the
use of her faculties almost to
the last. A staunch member of the
Baptist church for a great many years,
her life was in perfect harmony with
christian principles. Born in Bath,
England, she came to this country over
80 years ago, with her flrst husband,
the late Thomas Walker. After a six
day's trip from London, through the
wilderness, they reached this place,
filled with historic pioneer zeal, and
the determination to hew out for them-
selves a horse. Settlement was made
on the farm now occupied by her son,
Mr. T. Walker, and to her hospitality
in those early days many a new settler
was placed under lasting obligations.
In 1867 she was left a widow. Some
time after she was married again to
the late William Shipley, who also
pre -deceased ber several years. Of a
family of ten, she leaves five children
living, Messrs. H. R. and Thomas
Walker, here; James, of, Dundalk ;
Mrs. Shipley, here, and Mrs. W.
Walker, of Kansas. The funeral took
plat=e• to Clinton cemetery on Saturday
afternoon.—Com.
Wm. Moore, who Was so seriously in-
jured by falling from the roof of the
chair factory in Wingham some time
ago, is able to be out again and expects
to resume work in a few weeks.

The County House of Refuge Com-
mittee, consisting of chairman Eilher
and Messrs.- Holt, McDonald, Kerr,
Kennedy, Cook and Geo. McEwan,
met in the Battenbury House on Fri-
day last. Their labors lasted from 10
a. m. until near midnight.
The building was minutely examined
and on the whole proved satisfactory.
Some changes in the heating appa-
ratus will be made and the floors
have yet to be oiled. Provision was
made for this and the keys of the
building placed in the possession of the
County.
The offer of the Bell Telephone Com-

tions in Clinton.
Electric lights and power will be
secured from the Clinton Electric Light
Company. The firm have agreed to
furnish 50 incandescent lights and all
necessary equipment, on a five year

when it is considered that the Com-
pany must, in order to give the service,
go to an expense of $400. The lights
will be on until 9.30 each night. The
work on the line will start immediate-
ly.

The report was current on • Tuesday
afternoon that old Deafy Stewart, of
Brussels, who lives with his wife over
McCracken's grocery store, had tried
to commit suicide. The poor old fellow
had been under medical treatment for
bladder trouble all summer from which
he has suffered a good deal and it is
thought that the pain temporarily un-
hinged his mind. He jabbed himself
in the arm with a table knife making a
nasty gash. Later on he tried to cut
his throat with a pair of scissors but
was prevented from doing himself any
injury.
Kincardine Review:—We have just
learned that a deal has been effected
by which a syndicate has purchased
the output of all the *salt wells in
Canada and in consequence the price
of salt has gone up to $1.00 a barrel,
with sack and bulk salt at proportion-
ate rates. The Ontario People's Salt
Co. of Kincardine has sold to this
syndicate the excess of their output
over and above what has already been
contracted for by the Patrons of In-
dustry. Those Patrons who have
signed contracts may consider them-
selves fortunate and those who did not
have only themselves to blame, for
they have been repeatedly warned to
do so. They will now pay for their
neglect when they have to buy salt at
the increased price. We understand
that this is not the formation of a
combine but is simply a sale of the out-
put of the different wells to a syndicate.
The new rate went into effect yester-
day, Oct. 24th.
