John Carter, of town, has ordered an Eclipse wheel from the Onward Cycle Co. Judging by the, number of wheels be- ing overhauled and the repairs in pro- gress at the machine shop of the On- ward Cycle Co., the bicycle season is rights on us. Cycling, of Toronto, contains a splendid portrait of Mr G. F. Emerson, and quite an interesting "write-up" in the last issue.

DEATH OF MR SHANNON—Our towns- people were well aware that Mr Wm. Shannon, of the Electric Light Co., was in very delicate health. and hard- ly expected his recovery, but the an- nouncement of his death early Mon- day morning was a sad eurprise. He had weathered the winter so well that it was hoped the advent of spring would increase his vitality, but his constitution was gone, as the result of grip experienced some time ago, and he passed peacefully away. Born in Chinguacousy, Peel county, he spent bis life on the farm, and resided there until about four years ago, when he moved here, taking an interest with Mr David Graham in the Electric Light plant. His illness made him look older than he was, and many were surprised to find that he 'was a com- paratively young man, not 48 when he died. Heoined the Methodist church early in life, and was faithful t,o all �i s claims and teaching, he was atsttrtit, trustee of Batten bury St. ehurch Ar Liberal in politics—yet never aggreK , sive. His public and private live Was beyond reproach, and his fancily,con- sisting of a wife, four daughters and two sons, have the sincere'sympath of the conlinnnity in their irreparable loss. He belonged to the A.O. U. W. at Claude —tvhere he formerly "resided —and Was also a member of the Chos- en Friends here, both societies attend- ing the funeral nn Wednesday—the pall -bearers being blessrs.1. W. Irwin, J.

A MAN'S POCKETBOOK Is always affected when he buys Clothing, and to good shrewd buyers who understand values, we want to say a few words. Some people like to buy Suits at $4 and $5, and if they are satisfied with this class of stuff they would be foolish to pay more, but we cater to people who want value for their money, and to this class we would call attention to, our • • 7AND1O SUITS Our trade is continually increasing; and people are be - inning to realize that they are foolish to pay $15 and 16 for goods no better than what we sell for $10. Every uit of this line is made during our dull season, from goods which we buy at half price from the manufactur- er, and hence the reason for our wonderful values. They are cut and made on onr premises, just as good as our ordered work, and our big trade in these lines is good evidence that nothing equals them. People who want to save money cannot afford to miss these goods. Our value in $2 AND $3 PANTS Is just as good as the suits Our sale of BOYS'] KNEE PANTS AT 5oc is wonderful JACKSON BROS THE FAMOUS CLOTHIERS, CLINTON, What Julius Mesa': Julius Caesar was a great man, but ,fie had • his limitations.
