FORESTERS' SUPPER. —The members
of the C. O. F. No. 16, held their an-
nual supper at the Commercial hotel
on Thursday evening last. About one
hundred sat down to supper, which
was of the very choicest kind and to
which e}mple justice was done. The
chair was ably occupied by Chief Ran-
ger Heywood: The health of the Queen
and Royal family, being drank, was
followed by the National Anthem. To
the toast of "Our Society" was coupled
the names of Mr Gartung, of Brant-
ford, Superintendent of Organization,
and Mr Strong, of Gerrie, Inspector.
Mr Gartung made an interesting
speech, showing the benefits of the or-
der, and how it was providing for the
widow and orphan; Mr Strong also
gave a short address on the same line.
"The Medical Profession" was respond-
ed to by Drs. Shaw and Gunn. "The
Mayor and Corporation," by the May-
or. "The British Empire," byDr. Hor-
sey, late of Japan; this speech was
particularly interesting, and dealt with
England's greatness, power and pro-
gress in all parts of the world. Dur-
ing the evening songs were given by
Messrs Jones, Reed and Downs, Mr
Emerton playing ati accompaniment
for the latter. The gathering was
most pleasant and enjoyable.

We announce in full page 4 advertise-
ment presents an opportunity seldom of-
fered for careful buyers to supply their
DryGoods wants at prices much less than
ordinary. The few prices quoted there'
but give you a faint idea: of what there
will be offered, as there are scores of ar-
ticles equally Rs good value, the prices of
which we could not quote on account of
the goods, not being marked before the
advertisement was printed. The sale will
be one of the greatest money -saving chan-
ces dry goods buyers in this section have
ever had. Remember the time for the
sale is short, two weeks only; it will posi-
tively close on Saturday, Feb. 1st. We
want every dollar's worth of this great
put chase cleared out by by that date, and
know that only close prices will doit. The
close prices are on the goods, but don't
take our word for that, come and see for
yourself. We do not want you to buy
blindly, simply because we tell you of ex-
traordinary offerings, but use your best
dry goods knowledge, compare with what
you've been used to paying and then de-
cide. It's the best way—the only way
to convince yourself of the truth of these
statements. The best time to come will
be as early in the vale as possible.
HIER BUMS:
Clinton.
The date set for our great Semi -
Annual Slaughter Sale Day is Satur-
day, Jan. 25, and in more ways than
one, it will be an interesting event.
We are closing our tenth year in
business under its present management
a business that has been built up to
good, large proportions by selling fine
goods at low figures, and we want to
celebrate the event. Hundreds of
people take advantage of our great
sales twice a year, and our wonder-
fully low prices will hurry them all
back again... Wo claim that no house
in the country has ever touched us for
genuine bargains, and we expect that
this we will reach the high water
mark for a good day's business.
Now about our celebration, we think
that our tenth Anniversary is a good
time to hold a sort of Jubilee, and we
propose to do it in this way: Through•
out tbe day's business we will make
every tenth sale a free one, that is,
that tbe money for every tenth check
that is handed to our cashier will be
refunded to the purchaser. It makes
no difference whether it is a fur coat,
suit of clothes, pair of overalls, neck-
tie, collar, braces or gloves, as every
tenth sale goes free.
Thus will all our, customers for that
day bane a chance to get a Suit of
Clothes, an Overcoat, or a pair of our
celebrated Pants for nothing.
Next week we will give further par-
ticulars and prices that will astonish
the closest buyers.
' What we do we do well, and this ju-
bilee will be an event that will not be
forgotten by our customers for many a
long day.
It will pay and pay well to drive
miles to take pait in this celebration.
There will be no postponement under
any cireufnttanses; rain or shine the
celebration goes on.
