and visiting brethren, I. 0. 0. Fellows,
will attend divine service in St. Paul's
church on Sunday, April 26th, at 3
o'clock p. m., when the Rev. Bro. W.
Stout, Clinton, will preach a sermon, •
with usual cht;rch service, being the
77th anniversary of Odd Fellowship in
America. All Oddfellows of town and
neighborhood and friends are cordially
invited to attend. The members will
meet in the lodge room at 2o'clock.
OFFICIAL VISIT.—Messrs. Leavitt,
acting Inspector, and assistant Doug-
lass from Chief Inspector McMichael's
office, Toronto, paid an official visit to
the Clinton Customs office, Friday last.
Jfficcer W hi tely was put thrcugh his offi-
cial catechism in a manner that convinc-
ed him, and would have convinced any
one doing business with the Customs,
that everything is not "all right" in
conducting Her Majesty's business un-
less it is done in accordance with the
strict formalities and checks laid down
to protect the revenue.
ZIG SHIPMENTS. —Within a few days
Cantelon Bros. have shipped over eight
thousand dozen eggs from Clinton to
outside markets. This firm always
pay the highest market price for farm
produce and have succeeded in build-
ing up a good business. Last year
when the Editor of THE NEWS -RECORD
was in Halifax, N. S., away down by
the sea, he casually met it firm who
bought all their butter—man thous-
ands of pounds annually, all they sold
---from Cantelon Bros., and Clinton
was described to us as it most progress-
ive business town with a prosperous
and excellent farming community ad-
joining and throughout the county of
iluron. The superior soil, the careful
husbandman and his cheerful helpmate,
dairying and the first-class butter, the
fine horned stock and well-bred horses
--in fact everything that hoes to make
one feel proud of their birthright and
home—was referred to in laudatory
terms. When a business man takes
time to pause and ask "why?" the
reason is not difficult to fathom.
litessrs. Cantelon Bros. are particular
to ship the best produce available.
They have held out as an inducement
to outside purchasers the superior
quality of the goods or truck they
handle to buy, and at the same time
have incidentallyiven some informa-
tion as to our fertile soil, climate,
habits, dce. In this way Cantelon Bros.
have not only helped themselves, but
also Clinton and the County of Huron.
There is an advantage to our people
here, and particularly to the farmer,
that may possibly be overlooked. It
prays, when you produce any article, to
produce the best. The good name of
pppur home may depend on thatarticle.
No matter what the article; perchance
*horse, a beef, a cow a pound of but-
ter or a dozen eggs. rave every article
nt the quality to tickle the palate of a
King or Queen. Just now Canada Is
engaged in nation building and the
farriers will and are playing an import-
ant part in the structure through firms
like Cantelon Bros. And we might
add, as far tis Clinton is concerned,
considerable bf the structure will be
made outside by the firm we have
mentioned.

Loon AFT a Yotntt HEALTH.—If earth
Officer Dr. Shaw has mused his annual
letter to the citizens ot'Ulinton and it
is to be sincerely hoped the timely ad-
vice therein contained will be acted
upon. The head of every household in
town will be supplied with a copy of
the letter.
ASSIGNED.—We ireggret exceedingly
to learn of Mr. N. Robsoa's business
trouble. He bas been in business in
Clinton a great many years and no
more honorable man is better or more
favorably known. Along with all
classes of citizens we hope per. Robson
may be enabled to make a f r eeh start.
MEETING TO FORM A BICYCLE CLUB,
—This (Wednesday) evening there will
be a meeting in the Council Chamber
for the purpose of organizing a Bicycle
Club. Such an organization would be
of advantage to the individual mem-
bers and the town, and a strong -club
should be forrned. All interested in
cycling are requested to be present.
PunLIC MEETING. -The Mayor has
called a public meeting of all interested
in the celebration of the Queen's Birth-
day (Monday,It 7,.25th), to be held in
counciljehawber; onThursday evening,
April2ttrd; at 8 o'clock sharp. We
hope to see a full attandance of citi-
zens and that a good programme will
be arranged for the 24th. Clinton
should be well able to tafYord one day's
recreation at home during the year.
BAYFTELD HARnoR.—We are pleased
to learn that the Government have de-
cided to place in the estimates $12,500
for improvements to Bayf(e1d harbor.
The present popular Reeve, Mr. Burns,
has been for some time persistent in
hisefforts to move the authorities to
put the harbor in better shape. The
amount will be sufficient to put the
harbor in the state demanded by the
people there, and will mean the ex-
penditure of considerable money in the
village.
BASE BALLERS ORGANIZE.—Last
Wednesday the Clinton Base Ball
Club was reorganized as follows :—
Hon. Pres., G. D. McTaggart ; Hon.
Vice Pres., J. Wiseman; Pres., Dr, Shaw;
VicePres.,J. Allan;Sec.,D.Noble;Treas.
Dr. Agnew ; Manager, W. Harland
Capt., J. B. Hoover. The season of
1896 binds the game more popular than
ever and there is no doubt the Club
will make a good record this year.
Unmeasured success thould be their
portion.
WHO OWNS THE SIDEWALK?—The
sidewalk leading to the cemetery out-
side thv corporation, as will be observ-
ed by the Council proceedings, has
beeh removed by Mr. Jaynes Miller,
who holds that it belongs to him. Mr.
Miller claims that some eighteen or
twenty years since he built the walk
tor his own personal accommodation,
that the town had nothing to do with
it and has not since kept in, in repair.
The Council has, through the Inspector,
notified Mr. Miller that the walk must
he replaced, but he respectfully declines
to recognize. that the Council has any
power in the matter and does not in-
tend complying with the demand.
ANOTHER PIONEER PASSED AWAY.
—Margaret, relict of the late David
Wiseman of Usbor ne, died at the resi-
dence of her son in Clinton, Mr. Jchn
Wiseman, last Thursday, aged 79 years.
The deceased lady was a native of An-
trim, Ireland, and had resided in Us -
borne about forty years. Mr. Wise-
man, her husband, has been deceased
some eighteen years. A family of rive
sons and two daughters remain, one
son being nn the farm homestead.
The deceased was of the Presbyterian
faith, a kind mother, •devoted to home,
Country and Maker. The funeral took
phtce Saturday morning via G. T. R.
to Mitchell and from there to Kiekton,
where the late Mr. Wiseman was
interred.
A LOST OPPORTUNITY.—Citizens of
to -day realize that Clinton should
have amodern public park. It is not
generally known that we would have
a magnificent public park if the Coun-
cil of thirty years ago had been wise in
its generation. At that time the late
Mr. [Lansford (father of Messrs. Rich-
ard and John) offered for such a pur-
pose without cost ten acres of what is
now known as the Bawden annex.
The only condition was that the village
build a roadway to it. The Council
could not see the wisdom of such an
expenditure and refused the offer.
Thus a grand opportunity was lost and
thec<,nsequence is that to -day Clinton
is without what would have been a
verry pretty summer resort.
MARRIED. — The Winnipeg Nor' -
Wester of April 15 gives the following
interesting information :—"Mr. J. S.
Marshall, lately with the C. P. R. news
department, and at present connected
with the business management of Rev.
Mr. Chrismas, the divine hailer, was
married at 11 this a. m. to Miss Sperl-
ing, of Clinton, Ont. The ceremony
was performed at the residence of Mrs.
Waddell, 57 Adelaide street. Re 7. G.It.
Turk officiating. The young couple
have many friends in the city who
wish them success through years to-
come."
ocome." The Tribune of the same date
refers to the happy event as follows
:--
"There was a very pretty, though
quiet wedding at the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. Thos. Waddell, No. 59 Ade-
laide street., this morning, the contract-
ing patties being Miss, Eva Sparling,
the only daughter of Mr. W. Spading,
of the Doherty organ works, Clinton,
Ont., and cousin of Mrs. Waddell, and
Mr. Jesse Marshall, well-known in this
city as assistant. to Rev. W. E. Chris -
Inas, the evangelist, who is here con•
ducting the divine healing meetings.
Rev. Geo. R. Turk solemnized the
ceremony, and Miss Minnie McIntosh
and Mr. D Scott acted efficiently in
the respective copacities as hridestnaid
and best man, Mr. Thos. Waddell giv-
ing away the bride. In addition to
these and Rev. Mr. Ohrismas, there
were only a few friends and relations
of the contracting parties present.
After the knot had been securely tied
the company sat down to the sumptu-
ous wedding breakfast, for which Mrs.
Waddell was responsible. The happy
couple are in receipt of a large number
of presents, t well as many heartfelt
wishes for their future happiness.
They take up their residence in the city
for the present. It will be remember-
ed the groom was on n visit to Clinton
a few months since and was popular
with those who formed his acquain-
tance. ThENEWS-RECORD extepds con-
gratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Marshall.

The Ladie' Favorite Establishment, Clinton.
Sick. —Last Monday morning Mrs.
Wm. Cantelon received a telephone
message that her son David was ill
with typhoid fever at Mount Forest
and at once left to look after him.
Word was yesterday received to
the effect that he was doing as well as
could he expected.
THE LAST 25 CLUB HOP OF THE SEA-
SON, --Last Friday evening the 25 Club
closed a most delightful season by hav-
ing the final hop in the town hall.
The London Harpers furnished the
music. About thirty couples were
present.
FURiOus DRIVING.—Two young Olen
from Brucefleld nacre things lively
about midnight last Friday. They
drove up and down Albert street at
break -neck speed and were not partic-
ular as to whether the vehicle was on the
road or sidewalk. Constable Welsh
endeavored to capture the pair but
they succeeded in evading him. Their
names are known and both will likely
be prosecuted for furious driving and
abusing the horse.
THE 24TH OF MAY --SPORTS FOR
CLINTON :—It is not quite certain, but
probable, that Clinton will have spot is
on the 21th of May. The Base Ball
Club and a number of citizens met in
the Council Chamber on Monday even-
ing to see what could be accomplished.
There is a neucleus fund on hand from
last year and a resolution wits carried
requesting the Mayor to call a citizens
meeting to take steps to organize for a
demonstration on the Queen's Birth-
day. We sincerely trust the proposi-
tion will meet with popular favor and
that a big demonstration will be
brought to a succeseful issue. The
Town Council should ecome interest-
ed in a matter of this kind and our
citizens should take hold with a will.
The town should encourage keeping
Our people here one day in the year.
Properly managed, a good day's suc-
cessful sport can be provided With pro-
, fit to the town and visitors.
JUNIOR LACROSSE MEEEING.—This
(Wednesday) evening there will be a,
meeting at. 8 o'clock sharp at the Ho-
tel Clarendon to reorganize the Junior
Lacrosse Club. Every person interest-
ed in this manly sport is requested to
be present. The season of 1896 prom-
ises to he most successful and every
encouragement should be given the
promoters of Canada's national game.
IIOGS AND SHIPPING- -Mr. I). Cante-
lon has been very busy for some weeks
huy-iug and shipping hogs. He made
a shipment of live hogs to Collingwood
last week, another this week, and ex-
pects to freight another lot next, week.
For several years THE NEWS -RECORD
has called attention to the fact that
there should be a pork packing factory
in Clinton. Time and again we have
presented statistics to prove that such
a concern would pay here., Those who
are qualified financially and from a
practical point of view to enter into
such a commendable enterprise have
not come to realize the advantage and
profit that must come to themselves,
the town, and the farming community
in having a pork factory here. For
years the raw material has been
bought in this neighborhood, the
freight paid to sante distant point on
the raw product of the farm, and the
same product in a cured state shipped
back to Clinton and sold at a living
profit. This expense, or at least a
portion or the whole of it, mi ht just
as well be saved to the manufacturer
and consumer. Tan NEWe-ftneoan
could name a number of gentlemen in
Clinton who have the knowledge and
capital to engage in the business,
among them David Cantelon, .lames
Steep, Arthur Couch, and several
Withers. There is no reason why Clin-
ton should not have a first-class pork
factory. The members of the Connell,
as representatives of the people
will certainly he responsible if they do
not agitate this matter.

where the late Mr. Wiseman was
interred.
A LOST OPPORTUNITY.—Citizens of
to -day realize that Clinton should
have amodern public park. It is not
generally known that we would have
a magnificent public park if the Coun-
cil of thirty years ago had been wise in
its generation. At that time the late
Mr. [Lansford (father of Messrs. Rich-
ard and John) offered for such a pur-
pose without cost ten acres of what is
now known as the Bawden annex.
The only condition was that the village
build a roadway to it. The Council
could not see the wisdom of such an
expenditure and refused the offer.
Thus a grand opportunity was lost and
thec<,nsequence is that to -day Clinton
is without what would have been a
verry pretty summer resort.
MARRIED. — The Winnipeg Nor' -
Wester of April 15 gives the following
interesting information :—"Mr. J. S.
Marshall, lately with the C. P. R. news
department, and at present connected

quiet wedding at the residence of Mr.

the respective copacities as hridestnaid
and best man, Mr. Thos. Waddell giv-
ing away the bride. In addition to
these and Rev. Mr. Ohrismas, there
were only a few friends and relations
of the contracting parties present.

ous wedding breakfast, for which Mrs.
Waddell was responsible. The happy
couple are in receipt of a large number
of presents, t well as many heartfelt
wishes for their future happiness.
They take up their residence in the city
for the present. It will be remember-

a few months since and was popular
with those who formed his acquain-
tance. ThENEWS-RECORD extepds con-

Sick. —Last Monday morning Mrs.
Wm. Cantelon received a telephone
message that her son David was ill
with typhoid fever at Mount Forest
and at once left to look after him.
Word was yesterday received to
the effect that he was doing as well as
could he expected.
THE LAST 25 CLUB HOP OF THE SEA-
SON, --Last Friday evening the 25 Club
closed a most delightful season by hav-
ing the final hop in the town hall.
The London Harpers furnished the
music. About thirty couples were
present.
FURiOus DRIVING.—Two young Olen
from Brucefleld nacre things lively
about midnight last Friday. They
drove up and down Albert street at
break -neck speed and were not partic-
ular as to whether the vehicle was on the
road or sidewalk. Constable Welsh
endeavored to capture the pair but
they succeeded in evading him. Their
names are known and both will likely
be prosecuted for furious driving and
abusing the horse.
THE 24TH OF MAY --SPORTS FOR
CLINTON :—It is not quite certain, but
probable, that Clinton will have spot is
on the 21th of May. The Base Ball
Club and a number of citizens met in
the Council Chamber on Monday even-
ing to see what could be accomplished.
There is a neucleus fund on hand from
last year and a resolution wits carried
requesting the Mayor to call a citizens
meeting to take steps to organize for a
demonstration on the Queen's Birth-
day. We sincerely trust the proposi-
tion will meet with popular favor and
that a big demonstration will be
brought to a succeseful issue. The
Town Council should ecome interest-
ed in a matter of this kind and our
citizens should take hold with a will.
The town should encourage keeping
Our people here one day in the year.
Properly managed, a good day's suc-
cessful sport can be provided With pro-
, fit to the town and visitors.
JUNIOR LACROSSE MEEEING.—This
(Wednesday) evening there will be a,
meeting at. 8 o'clock sharp at the Ho-
tel Clarendon to reorganize the Junior
Lacrosse Club. Every person interest-
ed in this manly sport is requested to
be present. The season of 1896 prom-
ises to he most successful and every
encouragement should be given the
promoters of Canada's national game.
IIOGS AND SHIPPING- -Mr. I). Cante-
lon has been very busy for some weeks
huy-iug and shipping hogs. He made
a shipment of live hogs to Collingwood
last week, another this week, and ex-
pects to freight another lot next, week.
For several years THE NEWS -RECORD
has called attention to the fact that
there should be a pork packing factory
in Clinton. Time and again we have
presented statistics to prove that such
a concern would pay here., Those who
are qualified financially and from a
practical point of view to enter into
such a commendable enterprise have
not come to realize the advantage and
profit that must come to themselves,
the town, and the farming community
in having a pork factory here. For
years the raw material has been
bought in this neighborhood, the
freight paid to sante distant point on
the raw product of the farm, and the
same product in a cured state shipped
back to Clinton and sold at a living
profit. This expense, or at least a
portion or the whole of it, mi ht just
as well be saved to the manufacturer
and consumer. Tan NEWe-ftneoan
could name a number of gentlemen in
Clinton who have the knowledge and
capital to engage in the business,
among them David Cantelon, .lames
Steep, Arthur Couch, and several
Withers. There is no reason why Clin-
ton should not have a first-class pork
factory. The members of the Connell,
as representatives of the people
will certainly he responsible if they do
not agitate this matter.
