It must admit the intel- ligence of the buying public, and endeavor by every possible means to establish confidence between itself and that public. The baying should be right and the selling just. Every customer alike should be treated with courtesy and consideration, and goods should be cheerfully exchang- ed or money refunded when desired. We're endeavoring to build business on these lines. A trip to the markets has res ulted in some bargains being picked up that are worth the attention of prudent peo- ple who desire to make the dimes and dollars go the farthest. Bere are some of them. There are others. Ladies' Undervests at - - - - 20c Fine Hy len ribbed, long sleeves, open front, a very comfortable and serviceable gat ment, worth 25c. Draw- ers the same quality, at the same price. Children's Undervests at - - - 25c Children's all wool ribbed vests, long sleeves, white or natural wool, large and small sizes, worth regular from 25c to 40c apiece. Misses Undervests at - - - 30c Girl's ribbed undervests, fine soft H ool, long sleeves, regular 40c. Ladies' Undervests at - - - 39c All pure soft wool, ribbed, with long sleeves, a regular .50c line. This line ie what the makers call seconds, which means that they are not perfect, that a stitch or .two has been dropped some place in the garment, but they will wear as well as perfect goods. Ladies' Undervests at - - • - 50c Two or three special lines at this price, open and closed fronts, long sleeves, fine ribbed, and made from pure, soft wool, worth regular 75c. Ladies' Wool Hose, 2 pairs for 12%c Heavy wool hose, assorted sizes, black only, extra value at 2 pairs for 25c. Linen Glass Towelling • - 10c Fine linen glass towelling, 23 inches wide, plain centre, red borders, worth at least 1211c, special value at 10c. 5c Crash Towelling - A heavy crash towelling, 15 inches wide, a bargain at 5c. Some Glove Bargains. A few hundred pairs of ladies and children's black and colored cashmere and woollen gloves and mitts, bought for less than half price, and turned over to you for less than we pay ordinarily wholesale. • lbc 200 pairs ladies and children's gloves and mitts, black cashmere, colored cashmere, Ringwood end plain knitted, goods that the regular wholesale price is from $1.80 to $2,25 per dozen. 23c 300 pairs ladies and children's gloves and mitts. Plain black and colored cashmere, fine Ringwood, plain knit- ted gloves and mitts. These are a spe- cially fine lot, and extra good value, as the regular wholesale price was from $2.50 to $4.50 per dozen. You can figure up yourself what you'll save buying your gloves here. These are undoubtedly the cheapest lot of gloves ever brought to Clinton, and you'll save money buying them. • Mantles. We've have a big mantle trade, and are going to sell lots more yet this season, but it's not our brand new stock of choice goods we want to talk about this week. We carried over from last season about 15 Mantles, we have not put these in with our new ones and tried to work them off that way, nor do we intend doing that, but have taken them and marked them 51.00 $2.00 $2.50 apiece, which is not one-quarter the original price. The most of them have large full sleeves, and the length is the greatest difference between them and this season's goods They are bargains, see them. Angola Shirting. A mixture of wool and cotton, about half and half. More durable. than shaker flannel, will not shrink like all wool, two patterns just received, 15c a yard, regular 20c. nrtt,r,,nNdfd f4it'Mtt,ir:tRtiiia,.1.yr,�iW.11�Itl�tlf:11R111htd�fl'rrj .►.

Watson & Co lliutou .q pct rfra FRIDAY, NOVEMBER, 6, 1896. The advertising patronage of the NEW ERA has recently increased so much as to encroach on our reading space more than is desirable. If our readers will bear with us a couple of weeks we expect to make a change that will obviate this in future. Manitoba School Question A paper at Arthabaskaville, wit h a long French name, said to be the per- sonal organ of Mr Laurier, declares in its last issue that the School question is positively settled, making the fol- lowing statement:— "The Premier and his colleagues were anxious that the settlement should have thea p-obation of Protes- tants and Catholics throughout the Dominion, and be as favourable as possible to the minority. The under-- standingarrived at is that the national schools will continue to exist, hut re- ligious instruction is secured for the Catholics, as well as French in the dis- tricts where the majority is French. In French Catholic schools, teachers, male and female, are to be employed in the districts where the majority is Catholic. These are the chief points of the settlement. Both Premiers were anxious that the majority should secure as good schools as the majority. The question, it, hopes, is now out of politics. There will he no need of any Federal remedial legislation. The set- tlement will be made public as soon as ratified by the Manitoba Cabinet. Notwithttanding this positive an- nouncement, there seems to be a hitch in the negotiations somewhere. The Manitoba Gcvernment was to have met and ratified the agreement. It has not yet done either, The delay may be due to some unimportant details, and we certainly hope a settlement is about reached, but itseems premature to say that it has been reached.

Three children of (lir Henry Hazlewood Mr Israel Taylor, of town, has been selected as the county of Huron repre- sentative to the Provincial Sabbath school convention. The quer ter•ly meeting services will be conducted in Turners ebul•ch next Sunday afternoon by Rev. W. J. Ford. The official board will meet on Mon- day afternoon. The Woolen's Christian Association of Ontario Street chili ch purpose hold- ing ren old fashioned tee -meeting on New Year's night. Fur, her particulars will be given later on. Tuesday brought to an end the roost remarkable political campaign ever held, and however disappointed the one side may feel at its defeat, there is no doubt but that, the Americans as a whole are glad that it is over. The manner of conducting it was also one of its peculiarities. McKinley, the Re- publican nominee, did no "stumping" personally; he remained at his own home in Canton, Ohio, where he was continually receiving delegates by the thousand from other States, and made addresses to all these, but of course a vigorous campaign was carried on for hire by his friends. On the other hand Bryan, the Democratic nominee, made a wondertul personal record as a speak- er. Up to Saturday night he bad de- livered 676 speeches, spoken in 463 cit- ies and towns in 30 States travelled 18,081 miles, and uttered 848,000 words. He would deliver ae many as 20 speech- es a day, travelling by special train and speaking briefly at each stopping place. The "special train" plan of holding meetings has been another feature of the campaign. In McKin- ley's interest an "old general's train" made quits a tour. In charge of seve- ral Generale of the Army, haying a couple of good singers along, and a couple ot cannon on a flat car, the train would proceed from place to place; word had been sent ahead of its coming, and when a stop was made the bands would play, the singers give a conple of patridtic songs, the cannon would belch forth, and then one of the Generals would make a speech on some phase of the campaign. And 8o the battle was waged. The excitement has been more than intense. The chief issue was the "silver question," though others were introduced. It is assumed that about 15,000,000 votes were cast, and the conflict is now over, with Mr McKinley, Republican, as Chief Magistrate for the next four years. The total vote of the Electoral l'ollegs Is 447; of these McKinley re- ceived 201, and Bryan 148• giving Mc- Kinley the immense majority- of 148,, which is the most decisive victory gained by a Presidential candidate since 1872. McKinley's election, we are afraid, does not augur well for Cana- da, as he is a high protectionist of the extreme kind, and will probably go in fot the exclusion of Canadian products. Brennan the murderer of Mr Strathy, of Barrie, has been again tried, and again he has been sentenced to death on Jan. 1,9, notwithstanding the efforts ot coungel and expert alien- ists to convince the court that he was insane, or that his crime was to a de- gree justified by his ejection from Mr Strathy's house. The sentence should be dulled into effect. ' were burned to death ip a fire wbioh des- troyed his reeldenoe et Montreal. The dight Rev. Frederick Rioharde Wynne.

A sixteen -year old sou of Mr Michael Paredis of East Zorra, lost his lite in end- eavoring to rescue a horse from a burning barn. Rev. Dr. Griffin, treasurer of the superannuation tend of the Methodist church, who has been serioosiv ill for several weeks, has shown a decided improvemelt t recently. Next Sunday morning Rev. Mr Ford will preech a special sermon in mentor- hit ot the late Mrs Mason and Mrs J. Bailey, two respected members of the Out+.rio St. char•ch, recently deceased. The services of the quarterly meet- ing in Ontario St. church last Sunday were largely attended and of great in- terest. The meeting of the official hoard of the church will be held on Thursday, the 12th inst. Rev. J. T. Kerne, rector of Trinity church, Mitchell, formerly of Bayfield, is gaining a rep utation as a lecturer. He recently delivered a lecture in At- wood on the Argentime Republic, where he spent some time. A. H. Lufft, the well-known business man of St. Marys, and formerly of Clinton, has been re-elected superin- tendent of the Methodist Sabbath school there; it is one of the largest Sabbath Schools in Western Cutar•io. The sacramental services of Batten - bury St, church were held on Sunday last and were evidences cf great spiri- tual power; all the services were large- ly attended. At the meeting of the Ofiictal Board, Tuesday evening, the Nuances were found to be in a very satisfactory condition.4' At the opening of the new St. Peter's church in Goderich, Sunday next, the Clinton choir, under the leadership of Mrs Wall, will sing Mass and Vespers; the Stratford choir takingcharge of the afternoon service- uring t he offertory Mrs Wall will sing "Ave Maria" by Muzuretle. A reading circle has been formed in connection with Rat tenbury St. Meth- odist church Epworth League of Chris- tian Endeavor. Meetings will he held weekly at the homes of the members, and a pleasant and profitable term is expected. The hooks of the course are "The Torch Bearers of Christendom" by Doherty. "Life and Conduct" by Lees, Modern Missions by various writtera and "Barbara Heck" by D. Withrow. Speaking of an address given at Brncefleld recently, in Union church, a correspondent of the Expositor thus alludes to a well-known and exceed- ingly clever Clintonian : "The infor- mation given by Miss Wilson, regard- ing the missions of our church in the Island of Trinidad, from their incep- tion up to the present time, was listen- ed to with an eagerness which is only to be found in those who are interest- ed in mission work. Miss Wilson is a finent speaker, and is master of her subject, and will always receive a hearty welcome from the Brucetield people," THE BAPTIST Caureca.—Anniver- sary services will be held next Sunday at the Baptist church. Rev. J. Hamil- ton, of Wingham, will preach morning and evening. His subjects are "The obedience of Love," and "There is no difference." The services will heespec- ially attractive by extra singing, etc. The silver collections will he devoted to the building fund.

Foster, W. Harland, 'Miss McWhinney, Mrs Gihhings, Mrs Hoover; duct, Miss Good- win and Mrs Hoover; quartette, by On- tario Street Choir; orchestra,;corisist• ing of violin, flute, guitar and banjo. The manner in which the talents en- trusted have been multiplied, will he read. Miss Fisher, elocutionist, of Goder ich, is expected, This part of the program will be especially enter•- ertarning. Everybody welcome. A large -corn silver collection will be tak- en in aid of the building fund. Rifle M tches. The .25th annual match of the Huron R.A. of Clinton was held over the Athol- oott Ranges, on Tuesday, 8rd inst. The day was fine, and favorable for competing good scores. Target shooting has been pronounced the most manly of all ont-door exercises, and it is a yery laudable ambi- tion on the part of any man, to aspire to proficiency rn the art. A nation of sharp shooters is virtually unconquerable. Pnrzn LteT. lee Karen—Open to members. Ranges 200 and 500 yards, 7 shote at each range, position any at both ranges. Seven prizes. 1 Col.

Both horses were drowned. MrD. M. Maonherson, M. L. A , the Cornwall "Cheese King," intends going in- to winter dairying on a large soale, and will have 12 creameries opened. He will re- ceive the bonus from the Government and turn out a carload of butter each week. Besides the ordinary election bete in the States, there has been considerable freak betting, General Morgan, a Brooklyn ail• verite, made a bet in which he engaged, in the event of Bryan's defeat, to have all of his teeth drawn. In the event of Mc- Kinley's defeat hie opponents, four in num- ber, agree to have their beards and mous- taches shaved off- The parties to the bet are under a penalty of $500 each in case of failure to fulfil the terms of the wager, and articles have been signed and witnessed to that effect.
