MONUMENTS.—Messrs Seale d Hoov- er, of Clinton Marble Works, a few daye ago put up a very fine monument to the memory of the late T. Coates, of Ushorne, in Exeter cemetery. This well-known fires areputting up some good work in the different cemeteries of the county. STATION NOTES.—Bipedal trains have been running every other day, to ac- commodate the freight from this point chiefly apples and produce. Among the private shipments was a car ot ap- ples, for Minnedosa, sent forward by H. S. Taylor. There have been no cattle shipments during the week. ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT FOR SALE— Owing to the death of one of the part- ners of the Electric Light Co., it has been decided to offer the plant and property for sale. Mr Graham is anx- ious to sell because his business at In- glewood takes all his attention and time. As this is a well-established business there should be little or no difficulty in securing a purchaser for it. THE APPLE TRADE —The apple market in the old country has become so badly demoralized that du doubt quite a number wish they had left it severely alone. Not only have the reg- ular dealers lost heavily, but we have heard of several instances where far- mers, who sent forward their own fruit, have been called upon to lose their apples entirely, and also to make advances besides, to pay the freight. DINNER.—The members of the Cric- ket Club held their first annual dinner at the Hotel Clarendon, on Friday ev- ening last, and the only disappoint- ment in connection with it, was that the attendance was smaller than an- ticipated. Otherwise the affair was first class in every respect. The menu was particularly good, and after each one had satisfied their inner wants the evening was spent in pleasant social intercourse. THE ADVANCE IN WHEAT.—The ad- vance in the price of wheat is a fortu- nate thing for the farmers, because most of them have yet their crop on band. The fall has been so busy, es- pecially in handling apples and other perishable products, that very few far- mers haveet marketed any quantity of grain. Consequently they are in a position to take advantage of the rise. 75c was paid on Clinton market on Wednesday, and the prospect of the market remaining firm looks favorable; our own opinion is that it will yet go higher. I. 0.G.T OPEN MEETING.—The I.0.0 T. will hold an open meeting in their lodge room, Oddfellows' hall, Searle's block, this Friday evening, 23rd inst.— The chair will be taken at 7 o'clock by Rev. Mr Harris, when an interesting and instructive program will be given. Short addresses by Rev. Mr Millyard and Mr Houston; solos, duets, choruses humorous readings, and recitations by members and others, with several se- lections by the orchestra, will form an evening's entertainment that should not be missed. The public are cordial- Iy invited. Silver collection at the door DEATH OF MRs BAILEY,—We are sorry to record the death of Mrs John Bailey, of the 2nd con. of Hullett, which occurred on Friday last.. De- ceased had undergone a very delicate surgical operation a few days previous- ly, and was stopping at the home of Mr Jas. Ferguson, where every possible care and attention was given her, but her case was too far advanced before the operation took place, and recovery seemed impossible. She was formerly a Miss Musgrove, of Bluevale, and leaves a husband and child to mourn her demise while yet in the bloom of youth. The remains were interred at Bluevale on Sunday. OUB ADVERTISrB9.—The NEW ESA desires to call special attention to its advertisers. No portion of a paper should prove of more interest to the reader than that occupied by business men. The country is being from time to time flooded with advertising litera- ture by city sharks in order to gull the most gullible. We want to repeat once more that every advertiser in the NEW ERA is doing a legitmate and honest business, and money will cer- tainly be saved in securing yours needs from them. More, they are here to stay. If goods are not as represented you have the remedy in your hands, but if you buy from an outside firm it simply means a gambling game and in nine eases out of ten the purchaser `will,be the loser. Those of our readers who have had experience know this to be a fact. Your every want can be supplied to your every satisfaction on consulting the advertising columns of this journal.pnif not, we will he pleased to look after your every interest and ascertain the reason why. DEATH OF MRS MASON.—During the past few months Clinton has lost some of its best citizens, but no more gener- ous or open-hearted resident has been among the number than the one who passed away on Saturday, in the per- son of Mrs Mason, relict of the late Ohas. Mason. Deceased has been ail- ing for some time, and, therefore, her death was not unexpected. She was a native of Cottingham, England, and had resided in this country for nearly 50 years. She wan twice married, her first husband—Wm. Wilson—being one of the earliest settlers of the Bay- field road, and having pre -deceased her over 90 years. She re -married, the late Chas. Mason being her second husband, and he also being dead for a considers le time. Mr Chas. J. Wil - eon, of ()Ouch & Willson, was her only son, Mre J. Howe being a step -daugh- ter. For many years she had been a member of Ontario St. Methodist church, and she was faithful to Its teachings and true'to all its regnire- mentii. A large bomber showed their respect to her pneMory by attending tit ;ftwileta} MI' Monday, Division Court will be held here on the 27th inst. . Mre Win. Cantelon ie visiting her daughter in Mitchell. The Guy Bros. Minstrels are booked for Clinton on Nov. 10th. Mr Rufus Andrews expects to return to Cleveland in a few days. Miss Thompson, Seaforth, was the guest of Miss Tena Cooper on Sunday. T. E. Sawyer, of Clinton, spent a, few days at house in Woodham last week. Mrs Martin, of Clinton, is visiting her daughter, Mrs Thos. Hessian, at W ingham. Mrs Williams has gone to Port El- gin to spend the winter with her son, Rev. Mr Drumm. Mr Thos. Little, of Hullett, has mov- ed into the house recently purchased by hila on Mary St. Miss Sarah Turner and her friend, Miss Janes, of Gorrie, drove over here and spent Sunday with relatives. Mrs James Miller has returned from the Soo; Mrs Riter was to have aecom- panied her, but did not come down. Mr John Tolmie, M. P., for West Bruce, was in town on Monday, and was a caller at the NEw ERA office. Jas. McClacherty was awarded 1st prize for bread at the I-Iuron Central, a fact which was previously over- looked. The License Commissioners met at the office of the Inspector, on Monday afternoon, and imide two or three transfers. Clinton was honored with the pres- ence of John McMillan, M.P., South Huron, and V. Ratz, for North Middle- sex, on Wednesday. The other day a McKillopfarmer de- liver ed at the Evaporator ere, a load of apples that weighed over seven thousand pounds. Mr W. Tiplady wasudge on heavy horses at Dungannon show last week, and Dr. B. Tomlinson on road and carriage horses. Mr J. H. Bone, late of the Clinton Collegiate Institute, has been elected President of the class of '99 of Univer- sity College, Toronto. The other day Dr Gunn was called into consultation at Zurich over the case of Miss Brill, who had an immense abscess removed from one of her legs. Mr W. Jackssn is evidentally a pop- ular man among the Tieket Agents of the Dominion, he having been re-elect- ed auditor, a position he has held for some time. While looking over some of his de- ceased father's papers the other day, Mr W. D. Fair came across one in an excellent state of preservation, bearing date of 1774. Mrs Stoddart, daughter of Mrs Oakes, sr., of The Oaklands, (loderich township, returns to Chicago to day, after spending two months with friends and relatives here. Mrs A. H. Goodwin has returned from Bayfield, where she has been nursing Mr H. Kemp, who has been dangerously ill with typhoid, but is now on the mend. Miss Clara Stout has been engaged as assistant teacher for Auburn school for next year, at a salary of $225. The people of that section will find her an exceedingly amiable young lady, and a successful teacher. It may not be amiss to state for the information of certain parties that per- sons breaking telephone or telegraph wires render themselves liable to two years' imprisonment, and persons at- tempting to do so to a penalty of $60. When the NEw ERA announced last week that Mr and Mrs H. Joyner would celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary on the 20th inst., it made one of those annoying blunders that do happen in printing offices. The anniversary takes place on the 27th. The London Advertiser thus honors a well-known Clintonian:—"The Cana- dian Magazine is now one of the best conducted monthlies printed in any part of the world. We congratulate Mr John A. Cooper, M.A., the talent- ed editor, on his successful mange- ment of this now most meritorious magazine, Ontario Publishing Com- pany, Toronto." C. A. Humber, of Ooderich, has beer, visiting his son Charlie at the Detroit Sanitarium, where an opera- tion has been performed on his knee by a specialist. The operation consist- ed of removing the cap and other por- tions of the joint, and making an in- tersection, which will give him a straight and strong member. The patient is doing well. The Mayor le not known as a fight• ing character, nor is he usually given to the use of strong language, but there are those who say that during the past week he has been guilty of both these indiscretions. He has been fighting with a severe attack of sciatica, and generally the sciatic has had the best of it. It has been more than difficult for him to attend to his ordinary dut- tie3, and the absence of the usual amount ot local news is due to his partial confinement to the house. TAXES. — Collector Wheatley has commenced gathering in the taxes,and he's a hustler when he once starts; on Wednesday he made his first deposit in the bank, of over $1000. TOBACCO.—It is not everybody can grow and cure their own tobacco, and we presume very few people know it can he done in this climate, but we have heard it bas been done by several parsons. Mr James Sheppard, Orange St., has at present his crop under pro- cess of curing, and we suppose he will take consolation in burning it later on. CORRECTION. — Last week we made mention of changes Messrs DohertyPt Co had made in their Dry Kiln system and said "about 44)00 Leet of steam pipe taking the place of the fans." This is wrong. The hot air fans are being re- tained, and their effectiveness supple- mented by the addition of over 4000 ft of pipe running live steam. EXCITING SHOOT—A largecrowd wit- nessed an exciting contest between Ed Oantelon and Jack Miller, on Wednes- day, which resulted in a tie. The gen- tlemen were shooting for the cham- pionship of the C.Q.C. in live birds.— They each succeeded In getting 19 out of 21 birds, which le a tine score. This match was the result of the married men not being willing to come against the Bingle men, and it was then decided that the championship should be shot between the two best shote of the Club. These gentlemen ate open to shoot for money stakes, For This Week We have dropped our large space on page 4, but next week it will pay you to ,read it, for we will have some news to print that will be of interest and profit to every buyer of Ladies' and Gentlemen's Underwear.
