Who have arrived at an age of
discretion—know that when a
manufacturer of WALL 13iANGl-
INGS—edge their way out of the
hundreds of other manufacturers
and stand pre-eminent—that
there's something more than
their own or other's say—so that
gives them such a wide spread
reputation. It is the unques-
tionably different way of making
Wall Paper —combining art,
genius and brains—it is the en-
terprise in securing and elegance
in executing artistic designs
that has made Binges' papers pre-
eminent; you can get it nowhere
else, in complete variety in Clinton
except from us. Mr. J. Copp, our
local hanger, says :—"It is better
than other makers can supply."
It is the same in price—better in
quality.

THE f9PRINGOPENING8.—The weather
last week was not such as to encourage
a large attendance at the magnificent Square
and up-to-date displays trade by Clin-
ton Merchants. There was, hovttever,
a good attendance and_ great interest
was manifested in .1 fashions. No
town In Wertern Ontario shows a more
attractive, finer or cheaper array of all
lines of goods than the merchants of
Clinton.

University with . second . class honors
and yesterday securedtier diploma as
M. D. C. M. In Clinical Surgery and

of the list, and second in Medicine
and Gynaecology. In all other sub-
jects she stood well to the front. %e
congratulate Dr. M. H. Irwin on her
success and predict a bright future
career for the young lady.
MARRIED.—On Thursday afternoon
last at two o'clock a very interesting
event transpired at the residence of
Mrs. A. Hilton, James street, when her
second daughter, Mies Lizzie, was unit-
ed in the silken bonds of matrimony to
Mr. John Walker, town. The knot
was tied by Rev. W. J. Ford in the
presence of a large number of relatives
and friends, after which a modern
lunch was served and hearty congratu-
lations extended Mr. and Mrs. Walker.
The presents were numerous, useful
and valuable and will go a long way
toward making keeping house a pleas-
ure. The couple left on the 4.45 train
for Stratford and have since taken up
their residence on James street. THE
NEWS -RECORD acknowledges a liberal
piece of the bride's cake and wishes the
young couple long life and abundant
prosperity.

ding stationery and guarantee the printing al-
most equal to copperplate. Our prices will be
found as low as is; consistent with first-class
work and much less than the city offices charge
ter inferior work. Give us a chance to please
you.—TILE NEWS -RECORD, Clinton.
A WORK OF ART.—The 'Farmer's Advocate,'
of London, Ont„ and . Winnipeg, Man., has
�lgna ed the great Canadian Horse Show of
Mad biy issuing a companion piece to'.its much
admired draught horse premium group "Can -
dos Pride," issued some ears ago... group,
pro-
duction is fittingly named"Canada's Glory," as
it portrays an artistically arranged group of
the finest individuals of the noblest race of
animals as�ant. Tho design and the perspec-
tive of theiicture, and the life -likeness ofthe
supborb lig t horses portrayed are worthy of
the very highest commendation. We recom-
mend it as a piece of high-class art in animal
portraiture, suitable alike for the adornment of
the walls of tho dining -room, sitting -room, or
drawing -room. One cannot study a picture of
this sort without being more strongly impressed
than before with the nobleness of the equine
race, while the thought that the gasoline motor
will displace the horse becomes the climax of
m}renrdities.
We ask you to see the line of Fancy Tables at 45c., 55c. and
75c. At these prices better value was never offered.
NEW PUBLICATION.—We have be-
fore us"The Mirror of Window Dress-
ing and Retail Advertising," Vol. 1, No.
1, published by our townsman, Mr. Jas.
S. Jackson. The journal is a sixteen
page, 61ix10, printed on toned paper,
and profusely' illustrated with a num-
ber of half -tone cuts. The title page is
a neat and attractive mortised Illus-
tration, which summarizes the contents
and says the publication is " for think-
ing men." The matter has been care-
fully prepared and will prove of great
value to all business men, while the ill-
ustrations and specimen advertisements
are worth several pears subscription
to men who think. The publication is
$2 a year, or 20c. a copy, and will
doubtless rank among the very best
trade publications and become famous
in reasonable time. As time goes on
"The Mirrow of Window Dressing
and Retail Advertising" will improve
-typographic arty and in all.. other i e-
spects. The `present 'is an advancing
age, and business men require helps of
this kind if they'desire to be up with
the times.. The•,Editor, Mr. Jackson,
is well qualified ,for,all the details and
intricate managgcmerit of ouch a journ-
al, and THE NJ wS-RECORD has plea-
sure in wishing euct a necessary pub-
lication the greate+ppssible success.
THE WEATHER.—April showers have
as yet failed to materialize. Instead
we have had snow, storm and frost al-
most continuously. While people gen-
erally are longing for the warm and
balmy days of spring this severe,April
weather may produce the best results
to the farmer and fruit producer, for it
is the kind of weather that best pro-
tects fall wheat and fruit. In a short
time, however, fine weather may rea-
sonably be expected.
NOT CORRECT.—Last Friday our
towtf cotem. said :—"The Bayfleld river
is a raging torrent these days and at
one time threatened to flood out Mr.
Allanson, but all danger from this
source is now over." Mr Allanson re-
quests THE NEWS -RECORD to give the
above statement an unqualified denial,
Be was not in any danger whatever of
being flooded out, the water not heing
anywhere near high water mark., ile
is not, he says, at any time 10 danger
of being flooded out.
Mice RECALL YE GL,DENTIMF,s.—
The other day while workmen were
tearing down a portion of the ceiling
of Harland Bros. burnt store they
came across a mouses nest above the
lath. Among the odds and ends in the
nest was a small blue ticket which
reads :-- "Farmers' Hotel, Clinton;
good for one
meal
• James Ross."
This
hotel was conducted on the west side of
Albert street by Mr. Ross nearly a
quarter of a century since, and before
becoming a prey to the flames was last
conducted by Robert Mason. Mr. Ross
secured the present hardware store
for a dining room when there was a
12th July demonstration here many
years ago, and it is surmised the ticket
was then carried off by the mice and
remained for the late fire to unearth
their doings.
CANADIAN WHEELMEN.—The annual
meeting was held in Toronto on Good
Friday, the total vote being 5,607. The
Association has made wonderful strides
during the past year and is now on a
R�financial and membership basis.
herb A. Robertson of Hamilton was

of Toronto vice-president. For Huron

-TEA AND SERVItIit, OF PRAISE..—Last
Tuesday evening was one of unusual
interest at Willis (Presbyterian)
Church, the tea and service of praise
being most liberally patronized, the
net receipts amounting to nearly $50.
The following programme was render-
ed :
Anthem 0 Sing unto the Lord Page
Choir

Misses McMurray and Tedford
Solo Love watches over all Case
Mr. Israel
Roc. and aria... .With verdure clad Haydn

Solo The Lost Chord.... • • • • .Sulliven
Miss Dignum
Anthem My song shall be of mercy. , . ... .
Choir Wilkinson
Processioal March ..Ilaptiate
Miss D. Fair, Organist and Accompanist.
In the early part of the evening re-
freshments were served in the base-
ment with lavish hand. At 8 o'clock
sharp the song service commenced in
the auditorium. The opening anthem
"0 Sind unto the Lord," made a ring-
ing beginning, promise of spirit and
power in what was to come. A ARM ed
duet followed, given by Misses McMur-
ray and Tedford, two of Miss McWhin-
ney's vocal pupils. The rich blending
of these two voices, the distinct enunci-
ation and fine expiession was certain-
ly a surprise to some of the listeners.
The rendering of that beautiful piece
did credit, not only to the young ladies
themselves, hut to their trainer. A
solo by Mr. Israel showed fine, quality
of voice, and gives promise of a success-
ful career in our town. Miss Wilson's
Scotch rendering of the Ten Command-
ments was Scotch enough to satisfy
any son of that land of patriots. Miss
McWhinney came next with a difii•
cult and very beautiful selection from
Haydn'sgreat oratorio, "The Creation."
The execution displayed both volume
and flexibility of Noice, and a taste and
musical finish which are comparative-
lyheroucl of
Iy nitre. The choir might p
their leader. The anthem by the choir,
which followed, was one of the special
pieces in that list of specials. Mis>3
Oliver, of St, Marys, leader of the
First Presbyterian choir there, another
of (Miss McWhioney's enthusiastic
pupils, gale the next selection. The
way in which the words of tender con-
solation, "I have loved thee," "I have
redeemed thee," were almost whisper-
ed into the hearts of the hearers, show-
ed a power of sympathetic utterance,
which dimmed some eyes with tears,
and must have made some hearts thrill
in response. "0 Restless Sea" was a
trio of remarkable power. "The lost
chord.," a solo by Mies Dignum, of
Stratford, stood out itself, different
from all the rest. It was an exhibition
of the effectiveness of a rich contralto
voice used with that sympathetic pow-
er that thrills from the heart of the
singer to the hearts of the hearers.
The closing anthem was a fitting con-
clusion to the whole. In this, as in the
other anthems, Misses Dignum and
Oliver kindly took part. Their pres-
ence throughout, the evening rontri-
huted much to the success of nn un-
commonly successful service, Mist
Fair discharged her duties well through-
out a trying evening. The choir and
the leader have much reason to feel
gratified with the result of their months
of patient preparation.—Com.

ANNIVERSARY SERVICER. --Toe Rat-
tenhury Street Methodist Sunday
School held its anniversary services on
Easter Sunday and Monday. The Rev.
H. Irvine, of Doderich, preached both
morning and evening on Sunday to the
great delight and profit of the children.
The Sunday afternoon meeting took
the form of an Easter Service, consist-
ing of responsive Scripture readirtve
and appropriate music and recitations.
On Monday evening a tea was served
to the members of the school in the
lecture rooms and afterwards a pro-
gramme of music, recitations and 'dia-
logues was rendered in the church.
The liveliest interest was taken in the
preparations for the anniversary by the
parents and friends of the school and
their generosity is evidenced by their
contributions, which amounted to
$76.20.
If they are right, and that you will observe,
it the burden ot our claim as to the goods
we make.
A well made suit will outwear ill-fitting
ones made ot the same material, even' be-
sides holding its good appearance,, which the
ill -made garment loses in a day or two.
The set of the collar, pockets that dou4nW1 i
down, seams that hold and buttons that 8la.y
where they are put—these are tails that,
others too often neglect ; we d u't.
This is exactly the way our
$7 and $10 SUITS are made.:
Our new Spring Styles are now ready.
THE STAVELEY ESTATE MONEY.—
THE NEWS -RECORD is indebted to Mr.
J. T. Darrow, M. 1'. P. for West Huron,
for a number of parliamentary papers,
among them "an Act respecting the
estate of the late James Staveley of
Clinton." The Act provides that out
of the moneys derived from the estate
the Lieutenant -Governor in Council
may grant to Francis E. Thompson,
Mary E. Campbell and Carrie A. Sibley
the sutra of $0,000 each. The portion
of the Act referring to Clinton reads as
follows :—"A further grant, not ex-
ceeding $10,00() may he made out of
the said moneys to the town of Clin-
ton, to be used (subject to such terms
and conditions as the
Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor
ieuten int G
ov-
ernor in Council may prescribe), for
the purpose of erecting and maintain-
ing in or near the said town a building
or buildings for the use of the public,
such building or buildings being of
such public character and for such
public purposes as the Lieutenant -Gov-
ernor in Council may approve."
