G. T. rooms last Friday night was yery successful, 'a large number of members were pre- sent and everyone enjoyed the splen- , did program pt epared by the commit - lc.: 'tee, after which light refreshments s vecl. The novelty of theso- . was that every person attending 174,*horild be dressed in old fashioned ,'•;"::,clothes and a fine was imposed on all wearing fashionable garments. We did not hear of many fines so that ,nearly all must have been attired in the styles worn by their forefathers. 4'i1;'.. ENTERPRISE.—The Globe showed its !''Oterprise last week in taking a 700- Vmrd,re_port, by telegraph, of the S. S. :;,.•-..,,and C. E. Union Covention at Wing it also showed its sympathy with ,44..te naovernent, for the time is not long P•i!.,.•1.-Ree the daily press, at any rate, ,-,i,'..,paid little or -no attention to such gath- ?"--erifigs In this connection we may , • „say that, the excellent and concise I e- ,?'•i.per s of this convention furnished the press, were written by Ern Cooper, of :•• town, whose whose proficiency in this respect ,.:,•:",needs no commendation further than -:,' . ha shown by the completeness of the 4.•4ePorts themeelves. WEDDED.—The London Free Press :1,14,101 alludes to the marriage of a bro- •- er-of Mrs V. Hoare:—"On Wednes- ay. Ofternoon last the wedding of Mr .Warren Snell, of Toronto, son of Jas. ',43tiell, of Exeter, and Miss Ida, young- •"I'lit. daughter of the late James Lee, of ,•:this city, was celebrated here.

LossEs.—On Friday morning Miss Freeborn, of Goderich, telegraphed from here to the station agent at Goderich, saying she had left her va- lise on the platform, and to look out forit, The valise was not there, and the c agents and train hands were noti- fied to keep a lookout for it; When the n'train reached Buffalo the valise was 'found in the car rack, where the owner had likely placed it herself, but forgot was not locked, and contained A well known commercial traveller lost his pocket book, contain - Ing $50, on Friday, somewhere between the hotel he put up at Goderich and Clinton: no trace of it was found. the presiding examiners are Inspector ready cash to buy with always brings, make money-saviug buy - Robb and Principals HA.uston and Lough. The papers as to difficulty ing opportunities for you here this week. were about as In former years. As a specimen of t he questions set for child! en of frotn eleven years up,we submit the following: —(1) A had four pints of berries and B had 5 pints, C joined them and they ate all the berr:es. handed over 18 cents to pay for his share, how much should A get of the for 18 cents? (2) Each of two market women, A aid B, has 60 apples to sell, A can sell 1 a minute and B 3 every 2 minutes. In how many minutes will A have 4 times as many as B to sell ? Don't all call out the answers at once. About 70 candidal e for Eotrance, and 3f0 for Public School Leaving, are writing in the County of Horon. The High S.:134 ol examinations begin next Monday; they continue until July 18th. The p-esidlng examiners at Clin- ton are Messrs Robb, Lough and Murch, Stooks of hot weather goods are complete, values are good ; better, and for all needed goods for summer you will save time and money by coming here first. they never were comfort SHUT DOWN.—Stapleton Salt Works, which has been running full time for several months, closed down on Sat- urday, as the stock on hand is more than sufficient to eupply the demand. It is expected that the Works will start up again in the course of a month or so. PASSED. — Among the successful studeots at the first year examination in the Toronto Conservatory of Music was Miss Manie Houston, daughter of Principal Houston, of the Collegiate. She passed in Theory and Piano, tak- ing second class honors in the latter. Miss Houston has done credit to her teacher, Miss N. McHardy, and does much credit to her: -elf, Li view of the fact that she had orl )r been studying a hort time. INFRA DIG.—To judge by what the News Record so politely says one'rnight infer that all those papers published in the county on a Friday had adapted their day of issue to its particular cir- cumstances, whereas most of them had their day of issue 'fixed before the' e was a News Record in existence. The' e is no law to prevent it changing its day of publication to Friday or any other day, and surely the rest might be allowed to publish when they like. DOHERTY FACTORY NOTES.—Messrs 'Oetirge. Sage and John Ford have charge of the engine, which is kept running night and day to supply the .ry kiln, and thus prepare material or the factory when it commences to On. We are informed that when the tory gets under way, the entire aff Will be required to work three • biairre°Vet time to supply orders.

CEIANGE IN LAW BUSINESS.—Mr J. Scott has effected a change in his legal business by the introduction as a part - der of Mr E. H. McKenzie, son of R. W. McKenzie, merchant. of Goderich. Mr McKenzie is highly spoken of as an active and capable young man, who has received a careful training in the science and practice of law in the of- fice of the well known firm of Garrow & Proudfoot, where . he was for some time managing clerk, and of the To- ronto Law School. It needs no pro- phet's gift to predict success to the new firm, when the recognized abili- ties of its members are considered. We cordially welcome Mr McKenzie to our town, and congratulate him upon his finding so favorable a location from which to commence the climb to fame and fortune.

Oakes' assault case, come to us from semi-official sources, and in view of the local interest in the case we give them publicity:—"The grand jury found a true bill against George Oakes, Isaac Jones and John Baker, for aggravated assault, but friends of the parties ef- fected a settlement, after a great deal of labor. The agreement arrived at was that Baker be dismissed altogether from the prcceedings, in view of the settlement agreed upon: Jones to plead guilty of tommon assault on H. Oakes, and pay him in full of everything, daris,- ages,cost and alt, 8175. G.Oakes to plead guilty of common assault too, and all parties to be bound over to keep the peace for one year. Geo. Oakes was already bound, but the others were all bound in open court, H. Oakes, John Baker and Jones. In addition Jones was flned $50, and Oakes $25, without costs." We think that the neigh- bors who interested themselves in se- curing a compromise in this case are entitled to credit, and that now that the matter is disposed of, it will be at an end as far as the parties to it are concerned. NOTES.—Bert Harland, of Detroit, has taken a situation in the store of Harland Bros, S. Levy is making quite an addition to his house below the station.

Rattenbury would like to have the same restored or returned to him. For Hot Weather At prices as low as Good Stock Can be sold for. The goods we sell fit well, look well, and wear well. Wm. Taylor & Son Clinton Mid • ackson Bros. 11111TI (Eel 1-11, STORE June Business . We want to draw your attention to the fact that we• are closing the big- gest June business in the history of this establishment. The way in which this store is increasing in volume of business speaks for itself. There must be a reason for it. People are satisfied that nowhere can they get better value for their money than here. We keep a big assortment of everything in our line to select from. We buy it from the manufacturer, we pay cash for it, and try to sell it for cash. Our long experience teaches us, too, that it pays us at certain seasons of the year to make a SACRIFICE OF PROFITS. This is about the time that it is hard to realize a fair margin on what we have to sell, and prices often tempt people to buy when we place them so low as we intend doing during July. The following list of snaps are worth your while to call and see for yourself. You don't need to buy them if they don't suit you. 12 Pair of our last season's $3 Pants at $1 50 8 ,i 44 I i $2.50 Pants at 1 35 10 Children's Blouse Suits at exactly half price.
