O
Not Often, But
We have a reason Baud Its a fair -
',spoken one, have we used the word
-Bargain" in fact this is the first time
we have used it in this spate, not that
vie have not had bargains but lust the
a mtrary. Everybody recognizes the
fact that our goods are always
honest values, always the best
and often cheaper than those who are
forever harping on an expression
which they made meaningless by con-
tinually applying it to unsatisfactory
quallties.
Then we do, we excel
And now we say it with emphasis
and give to it its true power by back-
ing the statement with figures anI
goods that will appeal to every intelli-
gent person. We are honestly over-
stocked in hand baskets and you may
have them at genuine bargain prices
it you can use them. We will not
carry stoclrsrover if price will move it
gut. Our (misfortune may be your ad-
vantage. The difference between our
baskets and those of other dealers is
Inst the profit. Call and see them.

FOR SPRAYING FRUIT TREES. -Mr. J
H. Werry of Blyth, formerly of Clin-
ton, has re^entry received letters pat-
ent for an apparatus for spraying fruit
trees, vines, bushes, etc., and is now on
the road in the interest thereof. He
reports sales as being exceptionally
large. From an examination of the in-
strument we would think Mr. Werry
has something that every farmer and
fruit -grower needs, and we predict for
ita very large sale.

Matchless bull calf from the Elmhurst

A Goon MAN.-Seaforth Expositor :
-We have been shown a letter written
by the late Alexander McKay, who
died in this town on the 25thof Decem-
ber. It was written to a friend in
Chatham, although it had, evidently,
never been sent, as it was found among
his papers after hie death. The follow-
ing extract speaks more loudly in his
praise than any eulogy we could pro-
nounce upon him, .and shows the kind
of man he was. It proceeds : "I hope
that all our Christian friends in Chat-
ham are happy, and in good health,
I have got into very good society here ;
the society of the young men in the
Presbyterian church. I can see evi-
dence, by their walk and conversation,
that they have been with Jesus, and
that the Good Shepherd is leading
them, and that they hear his
voice and obey it; that light
from the new Jerusalem is shin-
ing into their hearts and illuminat-
ing their minds. I believe that they
are peacefully and lovingly walking in
the paths that lend in through the holy
city, the new Jerusalem." Mr. Mc-
Kay was a former resident of Clinton.
PROPERTY PUaoaeen.--Mr. J. A.
King has almost completed the ur-
chase of W. Young's battery, which he

ed to overflow. The gathering was in
the interest of Mr. Weismiller and a
more enthusiastic meeting has never
been held here. Mr. McClelland of St.
Catharines opened the meeting and was
followed by Mr. Frazer of Nova Scotia.
Mr. Spence of Palmerston captured
the audience and no public speaker in
the Hub of Huron was ever more ear-
nestly applauded. Mr. Weismiller ar-
rived about eleven o'clock and closed
the meeting.
LEAVING Tdwr .-On Saturday Mr.
H. Cantelon will sell his household
effects by auction previous to remov-
ing with his family to Orangeville.
where he will engage in the hotel
business. Mr. Cantelon has been so
long a resident of Clinton that he does
not require any words of commenda-
tion from TUE NEWS -RECORD. For
many years Mr. Cantelon was in busi-
ness here as a wagon and carriage
manufacturer and a more honorable
man never cast his lot in Clinton.
Mrs. Cantelon and family are alike
highly respected and will be greatly
missed. While we deeply regret the
removal of such valued citizens, we
heartily join with our people in wish-
ing Mr. and Mrs. Cantelon and family
the greatest possible prosperity in
their new home.
WOODMEN OP TUE WORLD. -Mr.
Wm. Heaton, head organizer of the
Canadian Order Woodmen of the
World, is in town in the interests of
the organization and expects to insti-
tute a Camp here in a few days. The
Canadian Order of the Woodmen of the
World is a secret society governed by
a Head Camp, and incorporated by
special Act, 3rd session of the 7th Par-
liament, Dominion of Canada, and
having Subordinate Camps in un
place in the Dominion of Canada. It
is designed to unite its members by
obligations of honor for mutual fellow-
ship and assistance, expanding the
sentiments of love, charity and good
will; to care for the sick and to aid in
procuring employment for the desery-
ing and worthy, and to give substan-
tial aid to the families or dependents
of deceased members. The Beneficiary
Department provides for the payment
of from five hundred to threethousand

deceased members. Assessments for
the purpose of paying beneflfs are
graduated according, to the age of the

proportion to the average expectancy
of life by the standard tables. The
rate does not increase, htrt remains the
same as at the beginning, special in-
ducements being thus afforded to
young and rntddleaged men.
COURT CLINTON No. 470, 1. O. F. -
At the regular meeting on Thursday
evening last, the Court was opened
at the usual time, after which three of
the brethren, accompanied by the High
Inspector, C. C. Whale, were admitt-
ed. The members received them ac-
cording to the degree in which High
Inspector stands in the Order. Ile was
then asked to take a seat beside the
Chief Ranger and perform the duty of
initiating a candidate into the myster-
ies of Forestry. Bro. Pz-oudfoot, of
Goderich, was asked to address the
Court, which he did with his usual
ability. Bro. Whale was then called
upon. He is a host in himself, the
right man in the right place. He is
very enthusiastic in advocating the
benefits of the I. O. F. as a benevolent
Society. He claims first place for it
among the different Societies of Cana-
da. For increase in membership and
financially:the Order has had a mar-
velous growth. The Brother was re-
peatedly called to answer questions re-
lative to the working of the Order,
which he did to the satisfaction of all.
It was moved by Bro. J. W. Irwin,
seconded by Bro. J. C. Gilroy, that a,
hearty vote of thanks be tendered to
Bro. Whale for this visit to Clinton.
"Auld Lang Syne" was then sung, fol-
lowed by God Save the Queen, after
which the Court closed one of the most
successful meetings it has ever held.
GOLDEN WEDDING. -Mr. JamesHow-
son, town, was present at the golden
wedding anniversary of his cousins,
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Howson, Tees -
water, on New Year's eve. A large
number were present and the eleven
children presented their aged parents
with two beautiful easy chairs and read
an address. Of the event the Tees -
water News says :-"Half a century of
married life is something that falls to
the lot of hut few people, and it is
indeed rarely that man and wife
are permitted to share the joys and
Borrows of flfty years. Golder. wed-
dings are therefore not an everyday oc-
currence, and when one is celebrated
the event deserves more than passing
notice. On New Year's evening Mr.
and Mrs. Richard Howson, of this vil-
lage, were privileged to be the chief
participants in one of these rare and
pleasing occurrences. On that occas-
ion they had the satisfaction of seeing
around them their family of seven
sons and four daughters, and among
the guests was Mr. James Howson, of
Clinton the groomsman of fifty years
ago. In those fifty years the family
circle bas extended until it now com-
prises the eleven children above men-
tioned and 30 grand children. " «*
Besides the easy chairs and address
Mr. and Mrs. Howson were inade the
recipients of a number of handsome
presents. The Neweoins with their
large circle of friendsjand acquaint-
ances in wishing them many happy re-
turns of their wedding anniversary."
