24TH CELEBRATION. -Every possible
arrangement is being completed for
the Queen's BirthdayCelebration :in
Clinton on the 25th of May. The vari-
ous committees have the work well
under way and the affair at the pres-
ent time promises to he a huge success.
People for many miles around have
signified their intention of coming to
Clinton and take part in the proceed-
ings. The day promises to be the best
in this section for many years.
NEW ROAD MACHINE. -As announc-
ed in last week's NEWS -RECORD the
Champion and Western road machines
were tested last Tuesday, the Ameri-
can machine after drawing lots taking
Rattenbury street east and the Cana-
dian the western end. Two teams
were placed on the Western and it
performed good work and made an ex-
cellent job. The ground was not as
difficult or hard to work as the other.
Three teams were placed on the Cham-
pion and this machine also performed
excellent service and gave good satis-
faction. In the evening the Council
met and decided on motion of Searle
and Kennedy, to purchase the Cham-
pion, Messrs. Cooper, Walker and
Chidley voting nay. The Mayor did
not vote, but has since given a public
testimonial in favor of the Western
machine. While we believe either
machine would have answered every
requirement of the town, we have no
hesitation in saying the best choice has
been made and the strongest machine
secured.
NEWSPAPER LIFE. -Last September
several newspapers in this county pub-
lished what is alleged to he a grave re-
flection on the character of a re-
spected resident of Mckillop. If the
reports were worth anything the.
charge would probably have resulted
in one of murder. Some of these pa-
pers reported the case from informa-
tion presumably received, others
through correspondence, while THE
NEWS -RECORD weighed well the ser-
iousness of the charge and placed the
responsibility of its correctness on the
paper from which we received our in-
formation. Notwithstanding all this
precaution on the part of the editor,
we have this week been called to Gode-
rich as a witness on the case. At this
writing we do not know the particu-
lars, but what we desire to call special
attention to is:the fact that correspon-
dents cannot be tooarticular in the
class of matter they fprnish a newspa-
per. THE NEWS-RIWORD does not by
any mans publish all the correspon-
dence it receives, and very often fault
is found because we do not, but
no consideration on the part of
many, correspondents Is given to what
the result might he if we did. The
d'Ifty of the press is to elevate the mor-
al status of the community, protect
the masses from fraud and deception,
and give a general epitome of reliable
news. Correspondents should not
make any serious chrtrge against any
cititety Without being prepared to sub-
stantiate the same before a court of law,
and thenandyi the interest of the gen-
eral public. Fortunately our staff of
0.0trespondento are as a rule trust-
wrhy.

at Smiths Hill on Friday of next week
at one o'clock p. w., ween a candidate
will be nominated to contest the Rid.
ing. Let there be a full representation
of delegates. The fight will be one of
the most imports innt the history of
Canadian Contedatieron.
TRAVELLING. -W. la. Manning, of
the Doherty Organ Factory, left Mon-
day afternoon for Qdebec to look after
the Company's interests. He will tra-
vel via 0. P. R. from Toronto to Mon-
treal, then by steamer to Quebec. He
was ticketed by A. T. Cooper, C. P. R.
agent, Clinton.
I. 0. G. T. -At the last I. 0. G. T.
meeting the officers for the coming
quarter were installed, also the reports
from the various officers and commit-
tees were received. They showed a
decided increase in membership and
proved that the lodge is In a flourish-
ing condition. The entertainment for
the next meetingMay 15th, will be
furnished by the' ladies,
It is said that Seaforth is using the
advertising matter issued by Clinton,
the alert and progressive Seaforth
management using the paste pot and
scissors to convert what does not be-
long to them to their own use. The
public will not be slow to recognize
what this means. The sports in Clin-
ton on the 25th of May will he of such
a character as to merit the patronage
of the general public.
THE WOOLEN MILL STORE. -Mr. A.
C. Dufton, of London, has got about
settled in the north end of the brick
block and is now ready for busyness.
He desires to purchase all the wool he
can secure and we have pleasure in
welcoming himself and family to Clin-
ton. There should be a good opening
here and we trust our numerous farm-
er friends will bring their wool to
Clinton.
MUCH NEEDED WORK. -Residents of
the northern part of the town are
gratified that the Street Committee
has at last repaired a portion of the
public drain on Alpert street north of
Fair's mill. If the town could afford to
continue the improvement to the Mill
street crossing the investment would
not be wasted. In fact the work
should be done if at all possible to do
so. No drain in Clinton is more pub-
lic. The. outlay would not be great.
AMPUTATION. -Our highly esteem-
ed young townsman Mr. David Cante-
lon, Jr., who lately removed to Mount
Forest, and was very shortly after-
wards seized with typhoid fever, is, we
are pleased to learn slowly recovering
from what was at one time thought to
he a fatal attack. But, his condition is
not yet quite satisfactory,,as the dregs
of the dangerous disease seem to have
settled in his right leg. thereby caus-
ing great. uneasiness, to his friends.
We learn that Dr. Gunn has been sent
for to hold a consultation, with his pro-
fessional brother of Mount Forest :as
to whether amputatirin.af any part of
the limb may be necessary.
THE NEW ROAD MAOiHINE.-A cor-
respondent writes Trig I'sEws-RECORD
regarding the testimonial lauding the
Western Machine in the New Era,
signed by the Mayor .and others, de-
claring that some of the persons who
signed the document did not see either
of the machines at work. The writer
also reasons that those who signed the
testimonial have not taken into con-
sideration the extra cost of American
repairs. It is argued forcibly that the
Champion Huliet machine is giving
good satisfaction and many good
points are advanced in favor of the
Canadian made grader, the one pur-
chased by Clinton. The correspondent
makes out a strong case in favor of the
action of Council, space for which
cannot be given this week.
NOTES FROM THE DEPOT. -On the
18th of the present month two import, -
ant orders which will effect the general
public will come in force. One is as to
baggage being left at the station. For
the first 24 hours no charge will be
made. for the second 24 hours a storage
fee of 25 cents will he imposed, and 10
cents for each additional 24 hours.
The second order particularly concerns
bicycle riders. All wheels will he
charged for the same as 50 lbs. excess
baggage, 25 cents. This latter rule does
at appear just. At the present time
many riders visit neighboring towns
by rail and then use their wheels.
The single fare to Seaforth, for in-
stance, will be 60 cents, to Goderich 65
cents or the return trip 81.20.
LEAGUE PROGRAMME. -Sunday and
Monday next will he red letter days in
the history of the Epworthians of
Rattenhury St. Methodist Church.
They purpose celebrating the 7th anni-
versary of the League on these days,
commencing Sunday morning at 7
o'clock. with a Sunrise prayer meeting.
Rev. G. H.jCobhledick, of Brussels, will
preach to young people at 11 a. in.; at
3 p. m. there will ben mass meeting at
which the Junior Societies are to sup-
ply the programme. Sunday evening
at 7 there will be a special Song Ser-
vice and two short addresses by Rev.
G. H. Cohblediek and the pastor of the
church, Rev. J. W, Holmes. On Mon-
day evening from 0.30 to 8 tea will be
served to Leaguers and their friends.
At 8 o'clock there will be n programme
of music and short addresses, to which
all young people of the town are in •
vited.
Two RUNAWAYS. -The horse at-
tached to the street watering cart
gained partial liberty last Friday about
noon and dashed along Alpert street
north. Wm. Miller was on the cart.
For a time the situation looked serious
for the young man. but he made a
clean jump when he decided that the
rig would likely collide with a tele-
graph pole near the water supply
station and thus escaped injury. The
cart contained considerable water and
was too heavy to allow the animal to
run far and was headed of/ near Mr.
Mc0oo1's residence by the driver, The
cart was slightly damaged. --John Mil-
ler, Jr., of the Clarendon, met .with a
rather rough experience wbile'driving
along the Bayfield road near the over-
head bridge. A train was passing and
Mr Miller's horse suddenly jumped
Into the ditch, the occupant being
thrown out and the buggy turned
over. He held the lines firmly and
although dragged a considerable dis-
tance controlled the animal. Mr. Mil-
ler was severely bruised but not ser-
iously hurt. The shafts and dash
board of the btiggy were broke and the
top damaged, fortunately nothing
more serious.
