dirty, dusty, faded and oommon—Well-
paperingly speaking our beet is your
best. If we can't do better by you than
others can—then our efforts have been
fruitless. For thia ie the point we
have sought to attain—maybe its con-
ceit upon our part—but, we honestly
believe that out Stook is oomprieed of
the very beat productions in the art of
manufacture that you can find in this
or any other town ; why do we believe
ill—because we have aimed to make it
so. We have devoted all our energies
to make it all we claim it to be: The beet
Stook for Clintou and its people; about
Eirgee Papers we say—when you can
purchase the best at the price of an in•
ferior, why not have the beet.

ENGAGED.—Mr. Frank Turnbull has
been engaged as salesman for the On-
ward Bicycle Company and will push
the business during the season of 1896.
Mr. Turnbull is well known to our
citizens, a thoroughly reliable young
man, and the Onward Company are to
be congratulated on securing the ser-
vices of such a trustworthy person.
The sales he will make will depend
largely on his own efforts, as the wheels
he represents have a good reputation,

HURON COUNTY' 0. E.—The Huron
County Christian Endeavor Union will
hold the '96 Convention In Goderich on
Thursday and Friday, Aug. 27th and
28th. The Executive•Connnittee met
in Clinton last weep and arranged a
splendid programme. Let all Leaguers
and Eudeavorers keep these dates dis-
engaged and make an effort to be at
Goderich on the above nates.
A GOOD REPORT.—Miss Tena Cooper
gave a report of the London Con-
ference Epworth League Convention
at the regular League meeting of
Rattenbury St. church on Monday
evening. The convention was held in
St. Thomas on March 23rd, 24th and
25th, and was the most largely attend•
ed of the Conference Conventions.
Goderich District stood near the front
in point of societies and membership;
while Clinton Itattenhury St. reported
the largest membership.
NEw INousy'RY.—Clinton will have
a new woollen mill during the present
month. Mr. Dutton, of Landon, bas
rented the north store in the brick
block from Mr. Downs and will place
the nnachineny in position as soon as
possible, He has also rented Mr. John
C'tllander's house on Huron street and
will move his family here. There is
certainly a good opening for a woollen
mill in Clinton. THE N1 W6 -RECORD
welcomes Mr..,pufton ai.d family to
Clinton and would advise our farmer
friends to hold their wool for him.
PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD.—The regu-
lar monthly meeting was held on Mon-
day evening. The report of D. Robb,
I. P. S., stating that he visited the
school on Jan. 2tth, and March 16th,
17th, 18th and 19th, and found the
rooms clean and waren, and the air
pure, and noting the great improve-
ment over former, winters, was adopt-
ed. No school building could be more
comfortable than was this during the
week of March 20th. The teachers, as
a whole, are doing good work. Princi-
pal Lough's report showed average
attendance for March of 408 out of 4613.
Twenty-five new pupils presented
themselves on Monday and more are
to follow. The accounts of John Mc-
Garva for coal $48, and Jas. Proctor
$9.83 for wood were ordered paid.
How TO PAY FOR A BICYCLE.—A St.
Louis n-ian said the other day that he
had long desired to become the possess-
or of a bicycle, but he had not bought
a wheel because he could not afford
the luxury. He had at last, after
months of weary thinking, evolved a
scheme which would give him a "bike"
for nothing. "Yer see, dis is how it is.
I buys a 'bike' on de instalment policy.
See? Well, 1 takes de wheel and takes
a header and lame. De accident policy
pays me twenty-foive dollars for the
bruise. Well, I gives it ter de man
wot I buys de wheel from. When I
gets well, i goes again and gets anud-
der hump from de policy. Well, by de
time I falls off de wheel four or five
times I'se got de 'cracker Jack' paid
for, and it costs me nuttin', gee? Yer
het it's a great game and I'be got de
nerve ter do it."
TOURISTS' BICYCLES.—The' following
Ottawa correspondence will prove of
local 'interest:—A new regulation re-
garding the admission of tourists'
bicycles into Canada has been adopted
by the Customs' Deparment, which
will facilitate the visits of touring
bicyclists to this country from the
United States. By an order passed in
March it was arranged that visiting
bicyclists might, by depositing the
amount of duty on entering the coun-
try, together with a statement that
the wheel was to be exported, obtain
a refund of the duty on leaving the
country. It bas been represented that
this arrangement would debar from
Canada many who would otherwise
tour through the country. It has been
represented that the tourists who are
members of the League of American
Wheelmen are known, registered, and
numbered, and that a simple form
could he filled out with the name and
number of the bicycle, the league num-
ber of the tourist to be left with the
collector at the port of entry. This
will give data that will serve to pro-
tect the Customs from fraud, and, at
the same time, will impose no hard-
ship or restriction upon the tourist.
This permission is not to exceed thirty
days. The department has decided to
give this idea a trial.
Y. M. U. A.—The meetings of the
Young Men's Conservative Association
are fast becoming quite popular, and
each succeeding meeting by far out-
numbers the previous one in attend-
ance. The plan of entertainments,
adopted for carrying nn these meetings
is one which seems to have sounded
the note of enthusiasm in a number of
young men, who heretofore, have
taken little or no interest in politics or
party. A few selections in the form of
musical entertainment are given every
evening by some of the members of the
association, previous to the subject
of the meeting being discussed,
and these selections, together with
the questions under discussion have
proved so thoroughly interesting
and instructive that the association
will, ere long, he compelled torocure
a larger hall for the holding a their
meetings. Last Tuesday evening the
following programme was carried out
very successfully :—Fred Gilroy sang a
song in fine style and was loudly ap-
plauded; Messrs. Emmerton and
Kerr played a duet, and were com-
pelled to play again before the audi-
ence ceased their applause; Mr. H.
R. Read also sang asong, and
everybody clapped their hands
and were well pleased. Then
came a short speech from a "convert"
whom, it pleases all, to call John Mc-
Millan, and it is safe to predict if the
"other John" ever meets "this John"
the conversation will be decidedly
Scotch. A paper on Prohibition and
Its relation to Practical Politics was
then read by Mr. W. Q. Phillips, and
was listened to with much interest,
and thoroughly appreciated by all.
After the paper cam• a song from Mr.
J. H. Kerr, which was sang in his
usual fine style. Messrs, A. T. Cooper
and N. L. Holmes commented upon the
subject matter of the paper read by
Mr. Phillips. Clinton's rising comical
artiet sang a sang and responded to the
encore, after which the singing of God
Save the Queen brought the meeting
to a close.
That's the way we are doing business..i .If times are dull we
must retake the average of trade come up by offering
inducements that will move goods.

Openiug�-
Vice
Notwithstanding the chil:y
weather our showroom was
crowded with a throng of de-
lighted ladies on both days and
from two standpoints our open•
ing was a decided success.
Our patrons pronounced it so
because of the exquisite taste
displayed by our milliners in
their work, and because of the
beauty and wide range of
stylus and patterns exhibited,
being exact copies of Paris,
London and New York styles,
and the work of our own mil-
liners.
This lieason'e stylesare not only beautiful but becoming. Of course the
beauty of the finished article depends much upon the taste and judg-
ment of the artist who trims the hat as well as upon the deeigner of the
shape. Our trimmers have the requisite taste, knack, judgment and
materials to furnish you with a

Beautiful Hat or Bonnet
that's stylish without being extreme, and that's becoming to the wearer,
and that will suit the weight of your purse.
From our point of view the opening was distinctly successful. The eon-
gratulatiotie of visitors who thronged our showroom were of course
very gratifying, and the many orders given were not lees so. We are
confident of a very large season's business. Millinery is our big
specialty and no where can you find such an assortment and range of
styles and moderation in prices as here.

THE STREETS.—On Friday corpora-
tion street cleaning was commenced.
When the winter season traffic is con-
sidered it is not surprising to see so
many heaps of accumulated offal. A
good warm rain, sunshine and wind,
has revealed the state of the streets.
Alpert street is in fair condition.
EXCHANGE BRIEFS. — Mrs. Wire.
Mitchell spent a few days in Exeter
last week, the guest of Mr. and Mrs.
John Mitchell.—Messrs. Thomas Bell
and Wm. Mitchell were in Exeter on
Monday week on business.—Roden
Jeckell, of the Collegiate, spent his
Easter holidays at Exeter.—Mrs. Thos.
Dunford has arrived hone at Brussels
after an extended visit with relatives
and friends in Clinton and other places.
—Mrs. Jas. 8. Jackson was visiting
Seaforth friends last week.—Miss Lot-
tie Kerr is visiting :n Bayfield.—James
Baird spent the Easter vacation at
Brucefleld.—Miss Wheatley was visit-
ing friends in Blyth last week.—Mr.
George Allen, of Mullett, has purchas-
ed a house in Clinton and will move to
town.
AN EXPERIMENT.—A few weeks ago
Mr. Andrew Porter, of the post office,
received from a friend in Melbourne,
Australia, seeds of several different
varieties of plants grown in that coun-
try, to experiment on in this climate.
As these plants would require to he
grown in conservatories, the seeds
were given to Mr. Thos Cottle, the flor-
ist, and Mr. Gilroy, who take very
great interest in the growing of house
plants and also have ample conser-
vatory accommodation. These gentle-
men now report that the seeds were all
good and fresh and as the plants are
just peeping shove the earth, their
growth will he watched with interest,
as some are of rare and peculiar varie-
ty. Among the different varieties are
the acacia, of several different styles of
foliage ; a salt hush ; encalypties; "nar-
doo" swamp plant, a food for the
ahoriginees; Murray pine; palm, and
others.
QUITE TRUE. —The "Grocer" says in
regard to the departmental stores :—
"These large departmental stores have
enormous expenses to meet and what
they loose on bargains they make up
on other lines. Ask anyone who Is
conversant with prices on the different
articles handled by these stores and
you will be told that although they
take it off the profit on one line they
stick on with interest on other lines.
The average consumer is ignorant of
this and ituagines that he can buy at
the departmental store to better ad-
vantage nearly everything he requires,
That is the stage to which the depart-
mental store proprietor studies to get
the public."
MARRIED.—A most happy event
was solemnized at the residence of Mrs.
Kinsman last Wednesday, being the
marriage of her daughter, Elsie, to Mr.
Harold Hannay, a popular and well-to-
do young gentleman of St. Thomas.
There were about twenty-five well-
wiethers present to witness the tying of
the ancient silken bonds.—The Rev.
J. W. Holmes, of the Rattenbury
street church, of which the bride was
a member, and a valued and popular
member also of the choir, officiated.
The bride looked the picture of happi-
ness and was most becomingly as-
sisted by her sister, Miss Tena, while
the groom was well supported by Mr.
J. Johnston, of Stanley. After the
ceremony sincere congratulations were
extended Mr. and Mrs. Hannay and the
usual dinner partaken of. The pre-
sents were appropriate and useful and
genuine tokens of the esteem in which
the bride Is held, one being
a gold watch and chain from
the groom. The groom ie a son
of the late Charles Hannay. Notting-
ham, Eng., and a nephew of Sir Wat-
kins Williams. The couple left on the
afternoon train for their future home,
St. Thomas, where they are now at
home to their friends at 68 Balaclava
street. The sunshine of happiness and
prosperity will surely shine upon such
an estimable couple.
Thore's Money in Clothes
If they are right, and that you•wIlt ot►sme,
it the burden ot our claim as to the goods
we make.
A well -made suit will outwear fit -fitting
ones made ot the same material, even be-
sides holding its good appearance, wlith the
ill -made garment loses in a day or two.
The set of the collar, pockets that don't pull
down, seams that hold and buttons that stay
where they are put—these are otos that
others too often neglect ; we don't.
This is exactly the way our
$7 and $1O SUITS are made..
Our new Spring Styles are now ready.

There's Widsom
In Economy
And there are different sorts of economy. The economy that "eaves
at the spigot and wastes at the bung" is no economy at all.
The truest economy it to buy the best your pocketbook will afford at
the lowest price for which it can be sold.
We buy the beat of everything.
We sell on such a close margin of profit that our customers feel con-
fident that bottom has been struck.
All's ready for the spring business now; we've got a store full of
bright, new merchandise for you to look at.

ly right, or we couldn't do the business
