the time. She was the mother of R.

Brown, of Dryden, late of town.
SKATING AND CURLING.—Although a
few parties enjoyed the skating in the
new rink on Monday night, the rink

late hour. The building is commodious
and affords pleasant recreation. Some
curling matches are being arranged.

---,wards stolen to help the thieves es-
cape, but this was recovered.

Organ Factory, a night watchman's
Electric Time Clock, which is simple
but a very fine piece of work. They
have at present night locks placed
throughout the factory, each lock hav-
ing an•individual wire connecting the
clock. When the key is inserted in
the lock and turned, a piece of paper
in the clock is punctured, telling the
exact time the watchman turned each
lock. It is a good piece of work.
PROPERTY CHANGES. — The small
houses and lots in "Little England,"
belonging to the estate of the estate
•of the late Thos, Spooner, have been

$450.7 Thos. F. Fortune, of Mitchell,

Will be occupied. Hugh Rose has

formerly owned by Richard Johnston,

borhood of $500.
HOCKEY.—The hockey Season opened
here on Wednesday.nigLt with a fast
and exciting match between Goderich
and Clinton. The visitors were decid-
edly heavier than the locals, and this
advantage was used with telling effect
in their rushes up the ice, but in spite
• of this and the feat that our boy's have
had no practise whatever, they made a
stubborn fight, and at no stage was the
pipe one-sided. "Jack" Jewett and
'Billy" McRae.put up the star part of
the. game for Clinton, and it was chief-
ly due to their efforts that Clinton
made such a good showing. The score
at half time. was 5.2 in favor of Gode-
r'ich,"and the final score was.0.4 in hon-
or. of Godorich. During the second
half the Iioine team improved coilsider-
ably,and .during the last fifteen rain-
utas, urged on by a wild, cheering
cro d th ` decidedly outplayed their
opponents, but were unable to obtain
the requisite number of goaltr before
-tiin.'was ealled. The Goderich Wahl
are aver gentlemanly lot of p1ayere,
d`n
ano disputes
putes arose t0 Mar the pe
OM of the game. Watch for Litck,
Iiowlext week,
Slam TIMrIr#t.–Mr McCuai ie re-
ceiving a quantity of ship tiw er,some
of it pretty good, which is being deliv.
ered at the old I:a. H. & B. station. It
will not be shipped awayfor some time
yet.
THE BIGGEST YET.— On Wednesday
Thos. Churchill delivered at the Stan-
dard Elevator an immense load of fine
wheat. supposed to be the largest load
of wheat ever delivered here, there be-
ing 125 bushels in it.
CURLING.—Slow progress is being
made in setting the ice into fit shape
for curling, but when the frost does
come the curlers will be ready. During
pass week newCur•lingstones have arriv-
ed for G. D.McTagBart, John Johnson,
Jas. Nair, jr.,:W. E. Brydone,W. Jack-
son, Dr, Turnbull, W. P. Spaulding
and John Raneford. Seaforth will play
here next week.
AN ERROR.—The use of a wrong
figure in the advertisement of Gilroy
& Wiseman last week, conveyed the
idea that their bargain day was last
Saturday, whereas it should have been
announced for this week Saturday,
Jan. 29th. This firm isdissolving part-
nership, and this week announce that
"the whole store is at the disposal of
the public on the 29th."
THE WARDENSHIP.—Geo. McEwan,
of Hensall, has been elected Warden
of the county, for this year. He was
an aspirant for it last year, and receiv-
ed promises of support that have been
implemented this year. He will dis-
charge the duties of the office with
credit, and is a good man for the place.
If he would only get a wifenow,his cup
of happiness should be full to the brim.
STRRCK,, IT Rion.— It was recently
announced that Rev, W. W. Baer, of
British Columbia, (brother of W. Baer,
town,) had patented an attachment for
type -writers. He was in New York
lately where he formed a company of
capitalists to handle the article; they
pay him $20,000 cash for an interest in
it, and he is to superintend its manu-
facture for 12 months, at 9250 a month,
afterwards to receive one-third of the
profits. This is as good as an interest in
the Klondike, nd his old Huron friends
will be please to hear of his good luck.
YARNS FROM THE I. O. G. T.—The
Good Templars held an enjoyable meet-
ing last Friday night, when "Good of
Order," a quartette, was well rendered
by Misses Akam and Tebbutt and
Messrs Smith and Brown. The re-
mainder of the evening was devoted
to the reading of a paper, "The Clin-
ton Gleaner.' This paper is edited by
one of the lodge members, and once a
month is read for the amusement of
the lodge. It is a very newsy affair,
tells you all you -know about yourself
and a great deal more. However, it is
lots of fun if you can stand hard hits.
We believe Bro. Jno. Carter purposes
leaving town, and general regret was
manifested when his resignalaon was
read out, for he has been one of the
most active workers in the Lodge.
The District Meeting will be held in
Auburn on Wednesday, Feb. 2nd. A
large number from here intend going,
weather and roads permitting. Come
to lodge to -night and hear the particu-
lars about it. A very hearty vote of
thanks was offered to all those who
kindly assisted in therogram at our
entertainment. Sister Miller is expect-
ed home from Bayfield in a few days.
Bro. J. T. McNeil was on the sick list,
but we are glad to see him out again.
Although our popular Bro. C. M. Bezzo
has been foolish enough to surrender
1'his liberty and get married, we must
join with his hosts of friends in extend-
ing our warmest congratulations.—
What kept our chief late for lodge last
Friday night; he is excusable, as it is a
long drive from Bayfield. Do not fail
to be on hand to -night, members, as a
great surprise awaits you.
HURON MEDICAL ASSOCIATIQN.—
The quarterly meeting of the Huron
County Medical Association was held
at the House of Refuge, Clinton, on
Wednesday, the 26th, Dr. Stanbury,
vice president, in the chair. Present,
Drs. Shannon, Hunter and 'Taylor,
Goderich; Bethume, Burrows and Mc-
Ginnis, Seaforth; McKenzie, Monkton;
Agnew, Londesboro; Kennedy, Wing -
ham; Armstrong, • Brucefield; Deacon,
Stratford; Gunn, Turnbull .and Shaw,
Clinton. This being the annual meet-
ing the election of officers took place,
when Dr. Stanbury, of Bayfield, was
chosen President; Dr. McKenzie, Monk -
ton, Vice President; Dr. Hunter, Gode-
rich, Sec. Treas. • An effort was made
to have the Association include the
county of. Perth, and make a conjoined
association of medical rnen of the two
counties, but the majority of the pres-
ent members were in favor of leaving
it as purely a County Association, at
least until a further representation is
present from Perth Co. to discuss the
matter. Dr. Taylor, of Goderich, read
an interesting and instructive paper on
"Ulcers of the stomach," which was
discussed freely by the members, and
Dr. Shannon gave one on "Catarrh of
the stomach." Both papers were full
practical points and were much en-
jof oyed. Dr. Kennedy, Wingham, gave
an account of and exhibited a specimen
of contraction of the stomach. Other
cases were shown to the members.
A GREAT ENTERTAINMENT.—Speak-
ing of the entertainment to be given
by the St. Paul's church Guild in the
Town Hall on Monday and Tuesday
evenings, the Galt Reporter says:—
"The Gilbert -Gordon Company and
Oinematographe gave their second en-
tertainment Saturday evening, before
the largest and best•pleased audience
that has assembled in the Town Hall
this winter. The artists gave an en-
tire change of program, and several
entirely new views were given by the
marvellous cinematographe. Mise Bes-
sie Gilbert, the lady cornetist, again
demonstrated hereuperiority acid play-
ed her numbers with a noted brilliancy
and dash which stamps her as a thor-
ough artist.. Mies Gilbert rightly holds
the title of "Queen of the Cornet." Mrs
D. Louis Gordon sang splendidly, her
beautiful voice showing to advantage
in a selection from "Roberto Il Dia -
vola." She also sang "My All" and
"Kentucky Babe." O. Le Roy Kenny,
in his "shipwrecked story,' showed
t.hatlie was equally at home in strong
dramatic work as in his humorous
numbers. Mr Kenny is by far the.
Most versatile artist that has yet visit-
ed Galt, Mies Sara Mintz, the liianfst
and accompanist; filled her very trying
position very acceptably, and Frank
Leon Kidtler, the boy baritone, though
suffering alightly 'from a cold, pleased
Itceatly. The 0onl4fany appears in the
own*Hail; tonight, for the benefit of
the' B:ospitel Ihuttd, wh n a packed
house 'should again greet ern.' They
no:dou6is will' be giiven.a tight royal
welcome herd. ti

The report in circulation that Arthur

While at the House of Refuge, on

While securing the proper bridle, the

somewhat before it was captured.
On Tuesday, W.Counell, of Goder ich

SCHOOL STATISTIOs.—From the re-
port of theltjinister of Education for
1897, we learn that the school ..popula-
tion of Huron, exclusive of towns, was
16,378; this is not equalled by any
single county in the Province. • Out of
this number only 12,789 attended
school. In Olinton the school popula-
tion is returned as 673; Goderich 1025;
Seaforth 758, and Wingham as 691.
The number of rural teachers in Sur -
on Wee 210, of which 122 were males
and 94 females. In number of teach-
ers employed there are six counties
that employ more than Huron. The
highest rural salary paid in Huron is
97J0; the average for males, $374; for
females, $270. , In Welland and 'York
as high as 1800 is paid. The total re-
ceipts for school- purposes 'in Huron

Half price
To clear them out if possible before stocktaking, we will
sell the balance of our Mantles at exactly half price. It
is not much trouble to figure out what this means, it's
a chance to get a $10 Mantle for $5, a $7.50 one for
$3.75, or a $5 one for $2.50.
They are stylish, up-to-date garments; we have only a,
few left, and want them turned into ready money.
It will pay you well to buy now, even for next winter.
Night Comfort:
This season we're selling the best Blankets we've ever
sold. The finish is soft and fleecy, they are made from
wool thoroughly scoured and free from grease, there's
none of that "woollen mill smell" about them so often
found in blankets, coning to us from the best blanket
mill in Canada. We can quote low prices for high
grade goods. We have Blankets not so good as these,
but in blanket buying it's economy to buy the best.—
.Super unions and pure wools, 6, 7, 8, 9 pounds.
COMFORTERS
Our Comforters are not the ordinary common kinds,
but are all filled with good quality, clean, white cotton
batting. What we have left are selling at prices that
make it almost a waste of time to sit down and make
them yourself.,
BETWEEN SEASON BUYERS
Will find our stock well assorted in all staple lines, and
many odd lines and remnants at money saving prices.
