We have learned that our Wall Paper stook has a reputation, It is an enviable reputation. It merits it because it possesses the cardinal fea- tures whiob make it an advantage for the buyer to select from it. This advantage exists because of ;t t raal merit in valve and quality. If you pay lesa for your Wall Paper than we ask, you get a quality that is worth less. If you pay more than we aek,you pay too mnob. That's a point we feel reasonably assured we can affirm without fear of sac - easeful contradiction, and if yon will do us the favor of inspection we claim we can prove it to you. Brilliant genius displayed in the oStn- eeption of their artistic designs in dainty or deeper colorings. We trim it for you of course without extra cost, and we trim it as it should' be trimmed.

The licenses were received from the department last week, and the Inspector is now ori his rounds de- livering them. His DOUBLE.—We strongly advise our friend, Joe Wheatly, to keep un- der cover it any loaded Spaniards come about, as he t uns the risk of being mistaken for one of those hateful Yankees on account of his close resem- blance to Lieut. Corn. Colahan of the U. S. shipDetroit, as pictured in the last number of Harper's Weekly. SPRAYING TIME BARD.—Third appli- cation, 1898, Instructions given in the preparation and application of insecti- cides and fungicides at the following places:—Seaforth, Friday, May 13, 2 r, m., R. Govenlock's orchard; Goderich, Saturday, May 14, 2 p. m., H. Cur•win's orchard; Exeter, Monday, May 16, 2 p. m., R. S. Lung's orchard. SCHOOL BOARD.—The regular meet- ing of the Public School Board was held on Monday evening, when a few accounts were ordered to be paid. Bowers Bros. were awarded the con- tract of painting necessary to be done. The Principals report showed the No. of boys enrollea for April to be 247, and girls 204, with an average attendance of 355. DIED IN DETROIT. -0n Friday last Mr Wm. Proctor, of Detroit, accom- panied the remains of his eon, William R., to Goderich for interment. Mr Proctor is a brother of Jos. Proctor, and his son, aged 19, died after a short illness with grip. What made the death especially sad was the fact that Mrs Proctor is travelling in British Colum- bia, and all efforts to reach her by tele- gram were unsuccessful. The coffin bore many floral emblems, a three-foot high shaft of roses, sent by the young man's shopmates, being particularly handsome, and costing nearly $60. Mr Proctor's old Huron friends will, sym- pathize with him in this hereavement. FOOTBALL.—The Collegiate Football team went to Goderich last Thursday to play the Goderich Collegiate Foot- ball team. The score at the call of time was a tie, 2 2; rliinton was anx- louv to play it oil", but Goderich refused; Goderich played the return match here on Mcnday last. Owing to some late repairs having been made on the grounds of the Park, the boys were -ne- cessitated to play on a rongh corner, which made the play much looser than it would have been otherwise. Clinton gained the score, 1.0. On Wednesday last, in spite of the freqnent showers throughout t he day, the contest for the Hough Cup, be• tween Clinton and Seaforth took place at. Seafort.h. The gameiwas viewed by a fair sized crowd of excited specta- tors. Play commenced at about 0.15 p.ni,, and in the first half Seaforth scored two goals. In the second half the play was more even and Sraforth only scored one, whiob in reality was not a gnat, as it was scored from a cornet kick, which should have been 'counted a goal kick. At the call of time the referee gave his decision as 3 to 0 in favor of Seaforth. The Clinton boys think if Seatorth would play a re- turn match, the play would be much better.
