Goderich.
BUSINESS CHANGE.—J. Fritzley has
purchased the barber business formerly
carried on by J. H. Williams, and has
taken possession of the old stand. He
is a steady young marl, proficient in his
tins, and we have no doubt will get his
full share of the trade.
A NEW INDUSTRY.—Leat week the
factory recently started by Messrs.
Maddock and Kennedy was in full
running order and cigars of first-class
quality are being manufactured. Mr.
Maddock is one of the most exper-
. ienced makers in Ontario, and being
an exceedingly good judge of tobacco
leaf, those who patronize the new firm
way depend on a fine flavored and easy
smoking weed. We trust Messrs.
Maddock and Kennedy may find their
venture a profitable one.
OBITUARY.—We take the following
from the Saginaw Courier, as the Dr.
Gooding mentioned is an old Goderich
boy and was a student in Dr. Nichol -
son's office for many years :—"Dr. Wrn.
Gooding died of consumption at Sagi-
naw hospital shortly alter five o'clock
last evening, after an illness of several
months. Dr. Gooding was compelled
last August to give up his practice al-
together, and went to his mother's
horne in Brandon, Manitoba, in the
hope that a change of climate might
produce a beneficial effect. As winter
approached and he grew no better it
was decided to send him south. He
was on his way to Florida when taken
with his Anal attack in this city on
Monday last having, stopped off in
Saginaw for a few days. He was at
once taken to the Saginaw hospital
and everything possible done for him,
but death was relentless and carne yes-
terday afternoon. The body was re-
moved to Coleman's undertakingrooms
where it was prepared for burial. Dr.
Gooding was born in Goderich, Ont.,
about 38 years ago. Having taken a
course in dentistry, he cattle to this
city to practice about 14 years ago,
and in a very few years had a desir-
able class of patrons. His health has
been poor for more than a year, but
not until recently did consumption de-
velope in unmistakeable form. Re
leaves a large number of friends in this
city who will deeply regret his untime-
ly death. The deceased leaves a cousin,
D. W. Gooding, and a brother Walter,
in this city, a mother and two sisters
in Brandon, Manitoba, a brother in
Winnipeg, and another brother in
Little Rock, Arkansas. Dr. Gooding
stood high in the estimation of his pm
fession, having been president of• the
Saginaw Valley Dental Association at
one time. He was a member of St.
Bernard's commandery, K. T., and was
also a member of the Knights of
Pythias. The funeral was held under
the auspices of the Masonic fraternity."

THE MINSTRELS.—Cool Burgess has
written Manager Ferte for the Opera
Honse for the afternoon and evening
of Thanksgiving Day.
A BACKWARD STET.—!he alteration
in the mail delivery that cause into
force last week is a decidedly backward
step, for under the new arrangement
it will he impossible to answer late ar-
riving letters by first mail the follow-
ing day.' It seems strange when Gode-
rich is booming and feels the want of
increased mail facilities, the G. T. R.
should step in and circumscribe those
already existing.
THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.—Mayor
Shannon has received a letter. from Mr.
McNamara, of Walkerton, provisional
President of the Huron and Ontario
Electric Railway scheme, stating that
the contractors in New Yof'k now have
funds to commence the construction of
the road, but they first want all the
rights of way granted. This has been
done by most of the municipalities, but
Goderich has not acted in the matter,
and Mr. McNamara asks that the ne-
cessary steps be taken at once.
A SUDDEN CALL.—Mr. and Mrs. Tilt
received a telegram ou Tuesday in-
forming them that their son had died
that morning in Rossland, British Col-
umbia. The news was a severe blow
as up to receipt of the telegram there
was no reason to suspect his health
was in any way impaired. When de-
ceased left horne a few weeks since he
was full of hope as to the result of his
visit to the gold fields and his sodden
death will be beard by his many friends
with deep sorrow.
Stanley.
SAD AND SUDDEN DEATH,—We re-
gret to announce the death of Mrs.
McClinchey, wife of Wm. McClinchey,
who died at her residence on the Gos-
hen Line, on November 15th, after a
few days' illness. The deceased was a
native of County Antrim, Ireland, and
emigrated with her parents to Canada
in 1852. She was a consistent mernher
of the Church of England and one who
was always in her place in the sanctu-
ary of the Lord to lift her voice in
prayer and praise to Hirn who kept
her and stipported her through life's
journey that when she carne to die she
could say, "The Lord giveth and the
Lord taaketh away, Blessed be the name
of the Lord." She was in her 61styear,
and her sudden death caused a gloom
over all the neighborhood. She leaves
her hnsband and six children, Aye girls
and one boy to mourn the loss of a
dear companion and a loving mother.
On the following Tuesday her rernaina
were followed by a large number of
friends and acquaintances to Bayfleld
cemetery:
I to my Father's house return ;
There num'rous mansions stand,
And glory manifold abounds
Through all the happy land.
The Lamb which dwells amidst the
throne,
Shall o'er them still preside ;
Feed them with nourishment divine,
And all their footsteps guide.
'Mong pastures green he'll lead his
flocks,
Where living streams appear;
And God the Lord frorn ev'ry eye,
Shall wipe off ev'ry tear.
Exeter.
THE COUGH AVERTED DEATII,—
Some months ago a young son of F.
W. Collins, in eating an apple got a
piece of the core in his wind pipe.
Everything possible was done to re-
move it hut to no avail; and the lad
became so low that life was despaired
of for a tiute, it having affected his
lung. Although being able to walk
around he continued very weak until
Monday morning when he coughed up
the piece of core, which was the small-
est particle.
MiNISTI:RIAr. MEETING,—A sheeting
of the South Huron Ministerial asso-
ciation was held in Caven church
manse, Rev. W. M. Martin presiding,
'she Secretary, Rev. W. H. Butt, of
Centralia, read a lengthy paper on
Mohammedanism, showing its in-
fluence and power in .ocial and nation-
al life in the east. The next meeting
is to he held in the. James street church
the first Monday in December arrel a
general invitation ie to he extended to
the ministers of the surroundilig die-
trict
Port Albert.
NOTES. —M re. Gilchrist, an old resi-
dent of this neighborhood, died last
week and was buried at this place. Her
estate was valued at $1,800.— The heavy
snow storm on Friday and Saturday
last has made our roads very sloppy
and the water in the river is pretty
high.—Business in general is very dull.
—Prices for farmers' stuff, except
wheat, are away down below zero.—
There is not enough wheat in this
neighborhood to supple tier., natives with
the staff of life and we have to look
to Manitoba for our supply, It was on
a matter of this kind your scribe ac-
companied one of our millers to the
county town to get a further supply of
the needful, and I must say J was
pleased as well as surprised to see the
"hum and tall chimneys" in the county
town. I came to the conclusion that
the good old National Policy was not
dead yet, although it might he a little
"Tarte," but "she still lives."—I peg
leave to call the attention of Manager
Hayes to the delapidated state of the
G. T. elevator; it requires considerable
repairs. --Since the Big Mill has shut
clown all it quiet in this large building.
Theyarestil1 buying wheat and packing
and shipping flour, but not grinding or
making flour ; it will be a pig loss to
the farmers when they finally close
their doors.—The saw mill on the
breakwater is doings rushing business
and has a great many saw Logs yet in
the harbor to cut.—The improvements
at the Ocean House are on a large
scale from bottom to top flat, includ-
ing new flooring, bath rooms, water
closets, water pipes for hot and cold
water, and all the new up-to-date im-
provements required at a first-class
hotel. It is needless for me to intro-
duce Capt. Babb, as he is well-known
to the travelling public as a genial old
British Tar, always ready to accommo-
date his patrons and those who call on
him.

officiated. A very pleasant evening
was spent in social amusements.
County Currency.
The Gorr'ie Vidette is right in not
clubbing with other papers.
Brussels, one of the most important
villages in the county, seems yet to he
in the backwoods as a flag station.
A son of John McNaughton, of Turn -
berry, fell twelve from a heain in the
bairn and fractured his skull.
Wm. Moore, of Wingham, has a
cabbage stalk with sixteen heads on it,
some of thele eight inches in diameter.
The town of Whitton is at present
suffering from an outburst of diphther-
ia. Thirteen cases are reported. The
public school has been closed and
prompt measures taken to stamp out
the disease.
A paragraph is going the rounds to
the effect that according to a new act
passed this year all municipal councils
shall expire on the 31st of December.
This is incorrect. The council still
hold office as heretofore until the new
councillors are sworn in in January,
but no municipal council can make any
financial expenditure after the 31st of
December, unless for matters of emer-
gency.
A Brussels syndicate sent two cars
of apples to Glasgow and two more to
London, England. The returns from
the former have been received, show-
ing an avetage of 41 cents per barrel.
which, after expenses of barrel, &c.,are
paid will leave about 0 cents clear per
barrel on the average. A glut in the
market is said to be the cause of the
drop in price. We notice in sorneship-
ments the shippers were called upon to
forward money to pay freight and
commission for selling.
At a certain village school the mas-
ter, says the Corrie Vidette, was gett-
ing hie pupils ready for inspection. To
the first boy the Inspector will say
"Who made you ?" and you will ans-
wer "God, sir." To the second boy he
will say "Who was the first titan ?"
and you must say "Adain." To the
third boy he will say "Who was the
flrst woman," and so on. Just before
the Inspector cane around the first
boy asked to leave the room. The In-
spector came and going to the first boy
(who was in reality the second as the
first had left the room) he said, "Well,
my boy, who made you?" "Adam,
sir," said the boy. "Oh, no! Adam did
not make you, God made you." "Then
I know he didn't, 'cos the one that God
made is gone round to the hack,"

That "Tory Still."
Editor A e rn-Record.
SIR,—Although an old friend and
supporter of yours I was so conscient-
ious before and during the last election
that I stopped my NEWS -RECORD. 1
confess now that the mistake was mine.
Last week I happened to read your
paper, which I know has a very wide
circulation, aodywas very much im-
pressed with the letter of "A Tory
Still," from McKillop, He gives there
some hard nuts to crack and if his ar-
guments can be refuted I would like
some able Independent, McCarthyite
or Grit to come forward and disease
these matters. Once through the mill
—and I would not suhmi? to the argu-
ment, or even to your paper which has
followed a temperate, even, manly and
righteous course, 1 now admit—there is
only one conc1usron tor me :—THE
NEWS -RECORD was right; your asser-
tions, facts and figures have been ver-
ified, and I greatly regret the timely
and sound advice you gave was not
more evenly weighed and heeded. If
it had been, M. C. Cameron would not
have been elected and Laurier might
have been prevented from enslaving
the French language on Protestant
Manitoba. Enclosed find a dollar for
THE NEWS -RECORD, my favorite and
highly -prized paper,
Faithfully yours,
A BRITAIN STiLL.
Goderich Township, Nov. 21.
One Mr, F. W. Glen, of New York,
writes that he can prove that Mr.
Tarte visited the United States lis 1888,
to solicit campaign funds for Mr. Laut-
ier. Be that as it may the records of
the Canadian courts show that Mr.
Tarte had not been over -particular as
to the sources of campaign "boodle."
While running as a Conservative he
took $5,(X)0 from contractor Whelan,
via Ernest Pacaud, a political oppon-
ent. Pivaud, it seems. obtained A large
sura from Whelan 00 pretence of pur-
chasing the good will of the Quebec
opposition to the Mercier government,
with regard to an item in \Vhelan's
iacrounte. supposed to be "fishy." Of
this stun Tarte received $5,000, and
glr,ated over the idea that it came from
"the enemy." \Ve mention this now',
not t0 discuss the merits of Whelen's
account with the Province of Quebec,
or of Pacaud's methods of raising elec-
tion boodle for the Mercier-haurier in-
terest of that period, but of exhibiting
the lax views of Mr. Tarte regarding
the procurement of campaign sinews.
Mr. Tarts' was then an organizer in
Quebec without portfolio. lip is now
Minister of Public Works in the Dom-
inion Cabinet. if his virtue WAa so
easy in the matter of raising funds from
"the enemy" six years ago, what, may
be thought ((f it now that. so many fac-
ilities are open to him of obtaining
corruption moneys from contrartiirs
who will be sure to he "friends of the'
(lovernment." Can a politician with
an lrneavery a record be safely en-
trusted with the handling of mil-
lions of public men(•y, and Keeping
