It concerns us most in that it governs the sale of Wall Paper and even thus early we are turning it out almost every day in the calen dar. Our Stock is a line of beauty,rich and yaried in design and of the highest artistic finish and execution. Prices range from five to fifty cents a roll. We have none at three ceuts. If you pay more than we charge you pay too much, if you pay less you get WALL PAPER that is worth less. That's the sum and substance of the whole question of price. You never saw nicer or better papers' than we offer at prices that compare favorably with any of the so-called "Wall Paper Kings." Tile W. D. Fair Co. Agents Parker's Dye Works.

Saturday as the advent of the balmy season. Some of the spring birds are here and others are mi- grating .fut ther north. The girls have resurrected their skipping ropes and the boys are enjoying the noisy game of marbles and wearing out the knees of their trousers. Farmers are completing their winter's work, laying in stores of summer wood and mill feed for the busy days to come, and select- ing their seed grain for the seedtime a few weeks hence. Teamsters are tak- ing advantage of the final days of sleighing to finish teaming in wood, sawlogs and other commodities. The merchants are opening and displaying . theirattractive spring novelties, spring lain the air and Dame nature will soon bestir herself, to the disappearance of the snow banks which have long re- mained as friendly neighbors, and to the gratitude of all who cherish the bright spring sunshine and balmy days.

Now do not want to make any rash statemeaa1 about our fellow men, nor do we want to tai the responsibility upon ourselves by est mating a man's ability in the class of foci. But a man is foolish paying $16 or $17 for suit of clothes when he can buy a suit for $' t"k $10 or $12 that is made under the super-' vision of our CLOTHING DEPARTMENT. This? year we have built Clothes that wore nQt ashamed, of, and we are satisfied by, sayi that our own make of Suits are ahead of all former makes in fit, style, and cut. As the: more clothes we make, the better We can make them. ,r PROMOTION EXAMINATIONS. — The following pupils of Mitis O'Neil's Divi- sion have been promoted to the Junior Fourth:—Lillian Agnew, Minnie Kerr, Edna Manning, Willie Young Bert Blacker, Ida Ross, Stanley Baer, Lot- tie Cook, Jennie Shannon, Silas An- drews, B.

THE TEN THOUSAND DONATION.— The committee met on Monday eve- ning in the Council Chamber and dis- cussed the disposal of the Stavely es- tate money. Messrs. Geo. D. McTag- Fart and R. Ransford reported an interviews with Mr. Garrow to the effect that the money would not be given for any town public iniprove- inent such as waterworks, sidewalk, park, etc. The committee resolved to ask for the money for the erection and equipment of a building to he known as the "Stavely Memorial Hall," for the purpose of establishing a public library and reading room ; at least $5,000 to be spent in this way, whatever remain- ing balance to be funded by three trus- tees appointed by Town Council, sub- ject to approval of Gover•nment, in Municipal, Provincial or Dominion securities, or in first mortgage on farm property. A special meeting of the Council was called for last evening to lay this report before that body. If accepted it will he passed on to the On- taria Government and an Act passed setting aside $10,000 for this purpose. It may not, however, be compulsory to spend the money for that purpose, pro- viding some scheme acceptable to the Government and more useful to the town can be put in definite shape. At, present the choice is forced and seems to lie between a county hospital and the library. But it is not yet known whether the County would become a partner in the erection and mainten- ance of an hospital. A. O. F. SUPPER.—One of the most pleasant events of the season was the excellent supper at the Hotel Claren- don last Friday evening, gotten up nnder'the auspices of Court Prosperity No, 78133, Ancient Order Foresters. While the big storm militated against the atendance, it did not prevent a fa,r turn out and a very enjoyable evening >'ieing spent. The spread was of a empting and palatable order and by no means the least important pat t of the programme. After complete jus- tice had been so agreeably accomplish- ed and the tables cleared District De- puty F. W. Watts unfolded the toast list, being supported on the right by C. R.. James Duuford and J. D. Kitty in the vice. The whole proceeding was of a high order and the addresses were tempered with moderation, the spirit of goodfellowship among men, a kindly regard for all benevolentorgani- zations, and loyalty to Canada and the British Empire, that of Dr. Freeborn on "Canada," being a long line of solid facts presented in an interesting and small compass. Our space will not permit of a lengthy report, so that the -toast list must 'ea8ice:—"Queen and Reya1 Family," God save the Queen;" -'Our Society." F. W. Watts, and C. R. Abel. of Seaforth; "Canada" was responded to by theathering joining in "The Maple Leaf Forever, and an excellent address from Dr. Freeborn ; 'Corporation of Clinton."

JOINED THE SILENT MAJORITY. -- Our citizens were pained to learn of the death of Mrs. Thomas .Jackson, Sr., last Monday morning. On the 12th inst the lady was stricken with partial paralysis and in ten days succumbed, aged but 57 years. Of the family of foul, the only surviving member is Mr. James Fair of the flour mills. rhe deceased was born in Oxnam, Rox- burghshire, Scotland, in the year 1830, and in company with her rnother•, two brothers (Thos. and Jas. Fair) and an elder sister, emigrated to Canada in 1851, landing in Hamilton, Ont., about the middle of May, where they remain- ed until August, 1855. In 1855 she came to Clinton with her brothers and mother, her elder sister having died while in Hamilton. In 1856 she mar- ried Mr. Thos. Jaskson, who survives her, and also their farnily of three sons and four daughters. The sons are all in business here and known as the "Jackson Bros.," viz : William, Thomas and James. The daughters are Mrs. Lang of Evanston, Ill.• Mrs. Charles Rance of town; Mrs. (br.) Belden of Seaforth, and one daughter unmarried, Miss Maggie. The family were all present during the last few days of her illness endeavoring to alleviate the suffering of a faithful, loving and affectionate wife and mother. The funeral lakes place this afternoon at 2.30. The sympathy of the entire com- munity is extended to the bereaved ones in their sore trial, to whom we would say :— "Take comfort, Christine, when your friends In Jesus fall asleep ; Their bettor bejng never ends, Then why dejected weopr aaeinalierial �� fMILLI1 L1\.1 Our Mies McDonald is now prepared to show you the newest styles in Spring Millinery, and to take your order, should you not see anything trimmed up to suit before our Opening, which we will announce in a few days.

THE WINGHAM OUTRAGE. --The dai- ly press are just now to a large extent feeding the public on asensation which occurred at \'Vingharn recently. It seems that a butcher of that, town named Fields had been charged with the most heinous crime of incest, but there was really no evidence to prove him guilty. A crowd of about forty citizens, on a bitter cold night, took charge of the man and marched him out in his night robes. He was hand- led roughly and sworn to leave the town. Fields left for Michigan, bot returned to London, where he died in the hospital apparently from a compli- cation of causes. On the one hand the officers of the law should have in- vestigated the case, and on the other hand those wb.) took the law in their own hands should be punished. Brit- ish law is certainly not mob law. INCREASED MAIL SERVICE. --During the past week enumeration as to regis- tered letters and other mail matter has been going on in all post offices be- tween Goderieh and Stratford, with a view of securing increased mail ser- vice. Of this the Expositor says, which is also applicable to Clinton :— At present there is a likelihood of in- creased mail service on this branch of the railway. As it is now there is only one mail car each way east and west in a day, so that we have only one mail a day from Mitchell and other small places between here and Brantford, while registered letters can only he transmitted to points west on.the noon train, and east at eight in the morning. Under the contemplated arrangement, we would have a mail service from the places named twice a day. This would he areat convenience to our mer- chants and the public generally, and we are certain that the amount of mail sent from here, as well as from other points along the line, would jus- tify the authorities in placing a mail car on the train going past at three o'clock in the afternoon, and one on the night train going west.

Ern- erson is kept very busy these days pointing out the good qualities of bi- cycles and along with two assistants learning people how to ride the silent steed. in bicycle riding there is no distinction between the pro- fessional or business man, the banker or retired farmer, the man of leisure or the ladies. Just as they think they are roaster of the situation occasionally the rider is placed in a meek and lowly position. However, should we have races here on the Queen's birthday, Mr. Emerson prom- ises us a string of racing men that will surprise the natives. Among them aright he mentioned Chief Wheatley, Town Clerk Coats, D. McCorvie, Syd Smith (droyer), Deputy -Reeve Cooper, little Johnnie Miller and Fred Jackson, all of whom have become devotees to the hike in the riding school. GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY. —That ex- cellent newspaper, the Owen Sound Times, is waging a "righteous war" againstcity departmental stores, or rather the country patrons of them. The facts stated by the Times are just as true of Clinton and neighborhood as of Owen Sound. It is well-known also that the thing complained of is sapping the life -blood of all the towns and villages of the Dominion. If people will only give Clinton merchants the opportunity, the merchants will prove conclusively that not only can there be found in this town as wide a selection as all of the departmental stores will show hut, as a matter of values Clinton merehants can at least save the pur- chaser the expense cf writing to To- ronto, getting samples and then send- ing for the goods and paying the car- riagge on their Toronto departmental at&e purchases. And we might add, Customers can avoid the almost inevit• able disappointment which comes from buying by sample. In Clinton they can see the goods in the piece.
