MUSICAL.—The announcement in au -
other column inviting all musical peo-
ple out every Thursday evening at 7.30
to take adyantage of Mr. R. H. Mc-
Donald, of London, is timely. Instr uc-
tion is a grand move on the part of the
officers of the Choral Society. Only a
small fee to cover the expenses of heat-
ing and lighting is wanted. We have
exceptionally good local talent and
when it is brought together like this,
great results accrue. We trust not
only all the choirs, hut all interested in
vocal music will attend.

THOMAS STANDURY DEAD. --One by
one the old residents are passing away.
The most recent to answer the final
summons is Mr. Thomas Stanbury,
for over thirty years a highly respect-
ed resident of Clinton, and for the last
few years living in Detroit. For sev-
eral weeks he had been in delicate
health and had been undergoing medi-
cal treatment at London, where he
succumbed Saturday evening. The
iate Thomas Stanbury was born in
Devonshire, England, in 183:3, and
carate to Canada with his parents in
1830. His father was a practical miller
and for a time naan:Lgged the Canada
Company's mills at Kippen. Finally
he bought and settled on the tate
Judge Cooper's farm on the London
Road, about three and a half miles from
Clinton. The subject of this brief
mention settled in Clinton about the
year 1858, or the tirne the Grand Trunk
Railway was opened to Goderich. In
1863 he married the eldest daughter of
Mr. E. Dinsley, who still resides here.
To them twelve of a family were horn,
eight sons and four daughters, one of
the Iatter being deceased, When Mr.
atanhury first carne to Clinton he en-
ggrateed in the grocery, grain and pro -
du ee business and amassed a fortune
of nearly $40,000. In this lino he con-
tinued until reverses overtook him.
His first heavy loss was in 1868, at the
time of the barley excitement. He
had twe storehouses filled for which he
paid $1.48 a.. bushel and was almost
compelled to give it.uway. His capital
fast disappeared and seven 'ears since
he decided to seek his fortunes else-
where and removed with his family to
Detroit. The late Mr. Stanbury
was a gentleman of unpretentious
demeanor, loyal to his home and
native land ; a steadfast uphold-
er of British institutions, and
Racriftced much of his wealth right
here. The funeral tooklace yester-
day from the residence of Mr. 14. Rob -
eon to Clinton cemetery.

smith when they got to their journey's
end. Well, well, by what you say,

of the drifts for ever. <'fes(rt)bitt of it.
They have conte forth as gold and be-
lieve they could contend with anything
now, Well, John, when they got
stuck the first time why didn't thy
come back ? Ah, catch such brave
young people getting frightened at a
snow drift. And don't you see, it was

was it a bad upset? No, it was a goadone.

men are. Well, there were eightene or

some viands provided for the occasion.
After the physi'.aLI wants were amply
satisfied eve proceeded to the Concert
Hall where a grand intellectual treat
awaited us. "The Fairies," with Miss
Norma Dickson, of Scalorth, as Queen,
captivated the aid once. The per-
formance of the 22 little girls, who so
ably aLssi.stcd her majesty received
rounds of applause, end reflects
great credit upon Mrs. .las. Jack-
son for her untiring energy re-
quired in bringing such a difficult
play to perfection. "Chatter Box"
by little May Rance was well
rendered. The violin solos by Miss
Donagh, of Goderich, and Master Fred
and Ed. Lucas were much appreciated.
R. Downs and Fred Doherty in char-
acter songs created much amusement,.
The solos by Miss Lola Miller and Mas-
ter Willie Wilson of Toronto were
heartily encored by en appreciative
audience. The "Fancy Drill,' marches
and glees were of a high class. The
juveniles were ably assisted by Mrs.
`Nall, whose voice was in grand form
in her solo "Mona," the enunciation
was perfect and the effort was heartily
applaunded. An instrumental selec-
tion by Miss H, Combe displayed much
skill and care. A song by Mr. Phillips
was deservedly encored. Mr. R. Foster
has a deep, rich voice, of good compass
and was well received. The decorations
by Mrs. Park and Mrs. Miller, enhanced
the appearance of the stage very
much. The accompanists were Mrs.
Wall, Misses Combe, Gibbings and

A Corset
Chance
The kind of a chance that don't
come to us or don't come to you
every day. It came to us in this
way : To keep up trade during
the dull season, the largest corset
manufacturer in Canada sold to
those merchants only who would
buy a certain quantity or over of
the Corset he makes to sell at
$1,25, for the same price as he
sold the one made to sell at $1.
A merchant had to buy .the quan-
tity to get the low price, and to-
day they cannot h(, Ti all for less
than the regul?r price. We
bought them and now comes your
chance ; while the lot lasts we
offer this regular $1.25 Corset f'or
98c.
Per pair. It is a five hook, long
waist Corset, male from fine strong
cnuteil, is perfect fitting, and one
of the hest selling $1.25 Corsets
made 111 Canada.
Just in this week are a lot of English Shaker Flannels 27 in.
wide, 10 patterns to choose from at 5c. per yard. People who
like to get the hest patterns are picking out their Prints now.
Everybody says there has never been prettier or better Print.
