THE I3URON CENTRAL PRIZE MONEY -Ata meeting of the Directors of the Huron Central Exhibition held on Fri- day, 30th October,it was decided that in viewof the decreased gate receipts owing to unfavorable weather the directors would not be justified in paying, more than 60 per cent. of the prize money. This will allcw the directors to retain the membership fees for 1897 which are always unt of pr zemoney taken and a nd the dom the irectors confidently expect to be able to pay the remaining 40 per cent of the prize money next yew. We understand that the Treasurer will pay the prize money on Monday, 9th November. SEVERE ACCIDENT. -At the time of the fire early on Saturday morning Reev enuedy and Councillor Me -- M were crossing the street on the 'eat toward nrd the post office.

All were ticketed by A. T. Cooper, C. P. R. agent. THE MAYORALTY. -The other day Mr. Gilroy, who is a member of the Town Council, remarked to the writer that THE NEWS -RECORD was anxious to have Mr. Holmes Mayor of Clinton for 1897 because we received the town printing. The reason assigned for the remark was that this journal had said in effect many electors signified a desire that Mayor Holmes should again offer for re-election. We are not built on that principle, While we are al- ways open for all the work we can get, we are not at all anxious that he should seek or hold the position. That is his own business, and we are frank enough to say he does not hold the position to assist or bring profit to THE NEWS - RECORD. We have neither recom- mended or endorsed his candidature in giving the talk of electors. Because TRW NEWS -RECORD records public events is no reason why we should be charged with sinister motives. DEATH of MRs. A. WOoDwARD,- We regtet to announce the death of Mrs. Albert A. Woodward, which sad event tranenired at the home of her father; R. J. Coulton, in East Wil- liams, Ont., on Oct. 2lst. The lady had been ill but a couple of months, catarrh of the stomach being her ail- ment. She leaves no children, Mr. Woodward surviving. The funeral took plane to Strathroy, in which town Mr, and Mrs. Woodward resided pre- vious to removing to Clinton, Rev. Mr. Irwin conducting the service. The pall -bearers were Messrs. H. Gary, Wm. Milliken, H. McDonald', Wil- liam, John and James Elliott. Town Topics. Tau BAPTIST CHURCH. -Anniver- sary services will be held next Sunday at the: Baptist Church. Rev. J. Hamilton, of Wingham, will preach morning and evening. Hi ssuhjects are "The obedience of Love" and "There is no difference." The services will be especially attractive by extra singing, -&c.

The manner in which the talents entrusted have been multiplied, will be read. This part of the programme will be espe- cially entertaining. A large coin silver collection in aid of the building fund will be taken. Everybody wel- come. A SUGGESTION. -Froin time to time old records are brought to light in Clinton. In every case they marls: the early history of the town. It is not proper to allow these old landmarks to pass out of existence and THE NEWS -RECORD would suggest, at this particular season, a reunion of the old settlers and those who took part in making Clinton what she is. The re- uniop should be in the form of a public demonstration of some kind. There is quite sufficient talent among the earlier heads to getup a flrst-class concert or some other entertainment. A reason- able fee might be charged, and this return could form the neucelus for a memorial town clock for. Clinton. A series of three or even two concerts might he held, and along with the return the town plight reasonably be expected to assume the responsiblity for the balance of the first cost, erec- tion, maintenance, &c. Such a sug- gestion might reasonably and satis- factorily he brought to a successful conclusion. DENTAL ASSOCIATION. -At a meet- ing of the dentists of Perth and Huron, held at Mitchell last Friday night, these officers were elected :-Hon, President, Dr. J. B. Willmott, Toron- to; President, W.

The object of the association is to promote scientific study in the profession, to give help and advice, and to promote good will among the profession. The next meet- ing will be held in Stratford. THE FIERY FIEND. -Last Saturday morning a party of young people were returning home about 1 o'clock after attending a social gathering. When about to disperse a bright reflection was seen toward the Queen's hotel. The party divided, one to ascertain the seat of the fire, another to sound the fire alarm, and another to start a fire in the engine. The fire wee discovered to be in the back part of McLennan's bakery and dwelling on Victoria street, and it was with difficulty the inmates were roused from their peaceful slum• hers and their lives saved, in all six. They escaped very scantily clothed. The wind was blowing strong and the flames spread fast, so fast that six dwellings, two shops and two stables, along with a lot of valuables, were Don• awned. The fire company seemed to Lack proper organization, although every member worked with a will and did everything possible to check the fiery serpent. Mr. McLennan, who had en insurance of only $800, loot all, including piano, furniture, clothing, confeationery, &c. D. Barge succeed- ed in saving a good portion of his furniture, which was insured for $200, but his residence and stable went up in smoke ; on this there is $500. Geo. Rsntgen's house was insured for $200 and was occupied by John Allanson ; this building was coneamed and the loss to both will be considerable. Mre, Osborne's house on King street, along with a quantity of wood, was also laid in ashes, the insurance being but $300. E. Carter's property, occupied by 0. Olson as a dwelling and floor and feed store, was an easy prey and a heavy lose to the owners, there being no insurance; Mr. Oleon's lose will be nearly $400, Walter Coate' resi- dence, owned by the Whitehead estate, went up in emoke ; the building was ineured for $750, nothing on the con- tents which were meetly saved. The structures were all frame. A heavy wind from the southwest carried burn• ing ehingles an& other light wood blocks distant, sense of them lighting near the organ factory. For a time it was feared the north-eastern portion of the town would be in flames, but willing workers were on the alert and stayed more serious results. That the town requires a reorganization of the fire company, anfficient appliances, and more system in their work, is without question. Mr. Beattie desires to thank the company for working so energetically and saving his residence and livery stables. Mr. Barge also wishes to extend blanks to those who gave their assietanoe so willingly. Tows COUNCIL. -The regular meet- ing of the Town Council was held on Monday evening. Present -Reeve Kennedy in the chair (the Mayor being ill), Deputy Reeve Coop- er and Councillors Plummer, Searle, McMurray, McKenzie, Gilroy, and and Taylor.

Mr. Gilroy explained that the Park Committee would with the first snow remove the band stand to the park. Mr. Plummer, chairman of the street committee, explained t all street work had been complet- for this ent l g some $1,650, ear. the considerably more than the appropriation. Mr. Searle objected to the telephone people shortening the poles and the wire pass- ing through and destroying the trees. A general discussion followed, but no action was taken. The matter of procuring more hose for the fire engine was argued, the clerk stating that at least 200 feet, more would he required. On motion of McKenzie and Cooper 200 feet of hose and eight feet of suction pipe was ordered, al- though an amendment for 100 feet was mpved by Plummer and Searle and declared lost on a division.

SPORTS IN CI.INTON.-Mr. Editor - SIF, -Some fault has been found through my remarks last week by foyers of the gun. In the first place my references applied poly to what I Ball athletic .sports, not to shooting. Quite true, the Clinton Gun Club has, I believe on every occasion, brought home laurels. My desire is that they will continue to do so, and will con- tinue to merit the substantial support of all classes of people, for they de- serve it. But sports in Clinton should not end there. Every citizen is not a good shot and never will he. What we want is more than a Gun Club to bring laurels to Clinton, and if we are to have such now is' the proper time to act. Although it matters not be me the direction concentrated effort takes, 1 am thoroughly convinced the effort should be made, and made effectively. Clinton has abundant material for one or two sporting organizations outside the gun, and for my part none will brilliantly succeed unless some definite action is taken. Let all the Clubs in town come together and decide what is to be. Personal likes and dislikes must be thrown aside end all go in with a will to win fame for Clinton. This would not abolish inferior clubs of the past, but would certainly im- prove the future. -Yours truly, INDE- PF.NDENT CITIZEN.
