fashionable all 'winter. The line we show are
pure silk, 22 inches wide, bright, lustrous finish and
the color combinations and shadings are really beauti-
ful. Shot Silks are the popular and fashionable ma-
terial for waists, and nothing makes a. more stylish

will be wedded to Mr H. T. Rance, ot
the firm of McMurchie & Rance, Bank-
ers, Blyth. Both are exceedingly po-
pular and prominent Ulintonians.
INCORRECT.—A paragraph is going
the rounds to the effect that according
to a new act passed this year, all muni-
cipal.couneils shall expire on the 31st
of Dec. This is incorrect. The coun-
cils still hold office as heretofore, until
the new councillors are sworn in, in
January, but no municipal council can
make any financial• expenditure after
the 81st of Dec., unless for matters of
emergency.
INSPECTOR TILLEY'S REPORT.—This
is what Inspector Tilley says of the
Clinton Modelites and their teacher:—
"This school passed a very satisfactory
examination. The students were un-
usually intelligent, and gave evidence
of thorough teaching." In school or-
ganization and management the class
is mai ked—god. In principles of edu-
cation—excelll nt. In practical teach-
ing --good. In methods of teaching—
excellent. In spirit and attention of
class—excellent.

ten up on the guarantee plan, and sug-

I.O.G.T,—There was a good attend-
ance as usual at the regular meeting

ated, after which the election of of-

THE HURON CENTRAL PRIZE MONEY
—At a meeting of the Directors of the
Huron Central Exhibition held on Fri-
day, Oct. 30th, it was decided that in
view of the decreased gate receipts,
owing to untavorable weather, the
directors would not be justified In pay-
ing more than 60 per cent. of the prize
money. This will allow the directors
to retain the membership fees for 1897,
which are always deducted from the
amount of prize money taken, and the
directors confidently expect t 1
o be able
to pay the remaining 40 p
the prize money next year. We un -
stand that the Treasurer will pay the
prize money on Monday, Nov. Oth.

New FALL (?GODS
To THE FRONT — Clinton bcys are
frequently to the front in all walks of
life. We now have much pleasure in
calling attention to an old Clinton boy,
H. B. Ransford, who has been distin-
guishing himself on the football field.
On Saturday last, in a match between
the Londoners and Lornes, of Toronto,
one of the fiercest, rrughest games ever
seen in London, Mr Ransford made a
phenomenal run, carrying the ball from
the centre through to the Lorne's goal.
where he made a touch down. not one
ot the opposing side being able to tac-
kle him successfully. The Mail on
Tuesday describes this player as un-
equalled for the position he takesin rife
game, half back. Well done, Clicton.
THE SICK.—Mrs Layton, Victoria
St., has been confined to her room fox
a couple b'f weeks, and is not making
much progress. Mrs 11. R. Walker is
now ale to be out, though yet very
weak. Mr Thos. Holloway, who has
been confined to his room by a severe
attack of pleurisy, is still unable to get
out. Mrs Rattenbury, sr., who was so
seriously ill a short time ago that ab
sent members of the family were sent
for, is somewhat better; if we mistake
not, Mrs Rattenbury is the oldest resi-
dent of the town. Mr Joseph Biddle-
combe, one of the oldest and most
respected business men of town, is, we
regret td'eay, in very low health, with
little prospect of recovery. Mrs W.
East, after two months confinement
to the house, is able to be out.

" NOTHING LIKE LEATHER "
SERIOUS FIRE.—dt about half -past
twelve o'clock on Friday night last
Clinton was visited by one of the most
destructive fires it has experienced for
some time, and it was a very bad night
for a fire, the wind blowing a perfect
hurricane from the 'west, and carrying
the sparks long distances. W hen first
discovered the fire was in the rear et
Mr McLennan's house, Victoria $t.,
and it was with difficulty that the in-
mates escaped In their night clothes,
saving nothing; it then communicated
to the bake shop on the north, then to
Mr Barge's premises; then to a small
house occupied by .1. Ellison; at this
end the fire was checked, although the
house of Mr Beattie was badly gutted.
South of Mr McLennan's house was a
small row of houses owned by E. Car-
ter, and occupied by Mr Olson; these
al-
sowere a house on the street to the rethe ar,
owned and occupied by Mrs Osborne;
further south was a house owned by
Mrs Whitehead, occupied by Walter
Coats, which was also destroyed, ap11
at which point the fire was checked.
To the rear of some of the places men-
tioned were stables, which were also
consumed. A.11 the buildings were
frame, and thie"fact, together with the
high wind, seemed to defy the efforts
of the firemen, who worked like Tro-
jans, but at a serious disadvantage,
having the fire directly in their face.
Sparks were carried long dis-
tances, the house of Mr John Gibbings
being on fire a couple of times. The
