is earned only by efforts wherein
you benefit souleune. We feel
we have been amply rewarded
for our effort in giving the peo-
ple of Clinton some of the beet,
`'5 n, ten cent values they have ever
had. Notably the Papeterie
which we told you about last
week. Remember two packages
of envelopes and a quire of ruled
paper put up in au attractive
box. See theca along with other
wonders in our west window, at.
the same price -ten cents.
Fair Flowers do not last
long by the Roadside
:neither will our new "Defiance"
spool of Knitting and Crochet Silk
last long, 25 yards on each spool.
All standard colors. The price
is the most remarkable thing
about them, only Six (6) cents.
Twelve dozen is all we have and
its all we will have. See the
moral! Ask for the "Defiance."

quaintance, and who are ever found
the best of neighbors, left on Tuesday
for their future home in Clinton. The
people of Clinton will find Mr. and
Mrs. Monteith and farnily the best of
citizens.
BACK re '57. -The other day Mr. W.
D. Fair found among other old papers
an invitation to a farewell ball which
reads :-"Sir, the pleasure of your
company and lady is respectfully soli-
cited to attend a farewell ball and sup-
per, to be giyen by Mr. W.Rattenbury
in connection with Mr. Charhoneatr's
Srst assembly. at the Clinton Hotel, on
'Wednesday, the 22nd of April, 1857.
J. F. Charboneau, director. Dancing
tocommence at 8o'clock p. m. Tickets,
ICs. C'y. The invitation is printed in
gold and is in afair state of preservation.
The Clinton Hotel was in 1857 where
Combe's drug store now stands, and is
known today as the Rattenhury
House.
AT LAST, CAr-rroeRD. - A few even-
ings since while walking on Princess
street a party came in contact with a
beautiful skunk, since which time there
has been increased prosperity among
tailors, ding and dry -goods men. At
this particular time there was no desire
to tackle the animal --the attack, which
was made only by the skunk, wan
most successful. Detail of the skir-
dish might better he imagined than
escribed. The neighbors for some
time had been missing chickens and
eggs, for it is well known the skunk
tribe live very high. Among those t-
peatedly robbed in this way was our
own John Smith. John used to he a
good shot and when Mrs. Smith was
collecting the fresh eggs Friday even-
ing she discovered the thief, the bold,
bad clothes spoiler. Mr. Smith loaded
his gun in defence of himself, hie fam-
ily and the neighbors. He was advised
to take a fork as a defeneivo weapon,
but it just happened Mr. Smith had
been too long in this deceptive world
to be caught in that way. He preferr-
ed a well charged gun. With a lamp
close by, and his eagle eye on the bead
of the barrel a load canonade disturb-
ed the whole neighborhood; then a
second volley struck consternation and
some wondered if No. 4 Company had
been called to duty. There lay the
offensive enemy ---a beautiful skunk -
close by a nest of fresh eggs. And now
the eggs, and chickens, and clothes of
passers -bp are safe from harm; and
John Smith, tjte expert shot., is the
saver of hen fruit, fowl, and humanity.
Aft killed the skunk thief.
SAD. -Mrs. John Bailey, Hallett,
who underwent a surgical operation a
few days ago, passed to the great
beyond last Friday warning. The
lady woe formerly r Miss Musgrove of
Bluevale, a model ehrititain woman,
mother and wife just in the prime of
life. Her decease is deeplymourned
by a very large circle of fiends and
acquaintances. The remains were
conveyed to Bluevale, where the inter-
ment took place. The sincere sympa-
thy_of the whole community is extend-
ed to Mr Bailey in his sad affliction.
THE CRICKET CLUB DINNER. Lust
Friday evening the members of the
Clinton Cricket Club held their first
annual dinner at the Hotel Clarendon.
The occasion merited a much larger
attendance. Those who were present
were in no way disappointed, for
seldom has a superior bill -of -fare been
presented in Clinton. The various
viands were served in modern courses,
and all enjoyed the palatable spread.
After the inner man had been
thoroughly setiefied a pleasant and
profitable hour was spent in social
intercourse, when the gathering
dispersed.
DEATH OF A GOOD WOMAN. -Al-
though ill for nine months and confin-
ed to bed three, our citizens were
pained to learn of the death last Satur-
day of Sarah Mason, relict of the
late Charles Mason, aged 70 years.
Dropsical ailment had secured such a
firm hold on the lady that there was
no cure. The deceased was a native of
Cottingham,Eng., and came to Clinton
some 43 years ago. She wasa daughter
of the late John Boynton of the old
land,and canoe to this country with her
sisters, the only surviving members
being a brother and sister in England.
Mrs. Mason was twice married, her
first husband being the late Wm. Wil-
son, 32 years deceased, who owned and
cleared the present farm residence of
Robert Coats, Bayfield Road. The only
child and survivor is Charles Wilson,
of the firm of Couch & Wilson, but-
chers. Some 20 years since Mrs. Wil-
son married the late Charles Maso n
who pre -deceased her. Mrs. Mason
was in every sense of the term a noble
woman, always a comforter in death,
sickness and affliction, in sorrow and
joy; for years it faithful member of the
Ontario Street Methodist Church, and
popular with all who knew her. Al-
though a good age her death is regrett-
ed. The funeral to Clinton cemetery
on Monday was largely attended.
"To MUCH POLITICS."-Tbe quota-
tion 18 that which appears on a lapel
button used in the present presidential
campaign in the United States, under
which is written, "Free Silver," pinned
to a good-sized stocking purse with
secure rile clasp at the top. On the
centre of button, labeled "Too Much
Politics," is the figure of a coffin and
corpse, which we presume represents
presidential candidate Bryan and free
silver after the election ; that is, the
free trade t;rriff reform agitation will
be dead. The shapely stocking is so
large that it would, in the event of
13ryon's succus, be required to hold
the numerous free fifty cent dollars
under his rule. Along with these THE
NEWS -RECORD received a handsome
cased briar pipe, warranted germine,
which the editor will enjoy at' ease
while our Southern neighbors fight to
a finish "too much politics" and the
vexed free silver question. The stock-
ing, lapel, and smoker are from Mr. J.
W. Rites, formerly of Clinton, and
were brought from Sault Ste. Marie,
Mich., by Mrs. James Miller, town,
who returned from a pleasant visit to
Mr. and Mrs. Riter last Thursday,
Messers. Riter & Miller are in partner-
ship and met with a severe loss from
fire recently, but we learn they will
soon again he in their own premises.
Their friends will be pleased to learn
of their prosperity.
CLINTON AS A SPORTING Tows. --No
town of importance can well afford to
be without the various manly sporting
organizations. Whether lacrosse,
football, baseball, tennis or cricket,
nothing will do more to advertise it
town or keep it prominent before the
outside world than local sporting
clubs. By this we mean a proper or-
ganization -any organization that is
placed on a sound basis imbued with a
determination to succeed in winning a
reputation for superiority. Seaforth
R.9 a town owes much of its a dvertieince
and reputation to the lacrosse and
football clubs of that town, and the
people there are not lax in appreciating
and hacking up these nianly sports.
Goderich is noted for its superior Kase
hall club and that, town through the
well directed a fforts of the people and
and organization is also kept promin-
ent before the outside world. AR to
Clinton, we must confess a united
effort should he made to concentrate
our sporting material. There is lots of
it to make any one organization a
brilliant success. To our mind there is
a golden opportunity to make cricket
TIDE feature for next year. This
would not conflict, seriously with
the sports in the neighboring
towns. The inernher•s of the club here
have gene to ronsiderahle expense in
laying an excellent. crease, and this
will likely be enlarged to three tinges
the size next, year. Late during the
past season Mr. Terry, three tunes
chosen cept.ain of the international
Team, and who once made over a cen-
tury against the whole United States,
was Refuted to bring out the good
qualities of old players and to eoach
new ones. 1t has been in consequence
demonstrated beyond doubt that Clin-
ton has the material and to spare to
form re cricket club which could cross
willows with all clubs throughout the
hemisphere. This may appear to
Rome to be a bold statement, but it is
true. Members of the present Club
have time and again been selected to
take part in Provincial, Dominion and
National contests, and we see no rea-
son why a successful effort should not
he made to form a Cricket Club that
would win broad laurels and give
Clinton the free advertisingits abusiness
centre we justly deserve. Sporting -
manly sport -should be brought to a
proper basis in Clinton. Until this is
done the various organizations will
meet with reverses and injure rather
than help the town. In the meantime
the columns of THE NEws-RtacoRD
will he wide open to all who desire to
discuss all manly sports connected
with Clinton. Don't be afraid to write
or even oppose the above views. The
good of the town is our object.
