THE FALL FAIR.—The directors of the Seaforth Fair have aec`•ded to hold a show themselves this year,and there- fore the proposed joint show will not be held. The Hut on Central will hold its own chow on Sept 20 21. SUNSTROKE. — On Thursday last a young sou of Mrs Porter, who was en- joying the picnic at Goderich, expet- ienced a sunstroke, and had to be brought horne early in the day. He bas since recovered tr•om its effects. WEST HURON PROTESTS.—The fol- lowing occurs in the daily papers: -An, order has been taken out for the in- spe�tion of the ballots cast in the West Huron election. There is in this case a protest against J. T. Carrow, who holds the seat by a majority of one—the casting vote of Returning Of- ficer A. L. Gibson, and a counter pro - feet against Joseph Beck, the Conser- vative candidate. NARROW ESCAPE—On Monday while a load of jolly picnicers comprising the members of Willis choir, wet* on their way to Bayfield, one of the bolts hold- ing the tongue came out, allowing the front wheels to swing around under the rig and upset it. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt, although one of the young ladies suffered inure than the others did, and as they were not far from town, the injury to the rig was soon repaired. WEDDED.—A quiet but happy event took place at the home of Re v.14. New- cotnbe, on Wednesday morning, when his second daughter, Miss Annie Gert- rude, was married to John S. Evans,V. S., of Tiverton. Only the immediate friends of the family were present. Mr Newcombe—performed the ceremony, essisted by Rev. W. G. Evans, brother of the groom. The groomsman was W. H. Newcombe, of Petrolia, brother of the bride, while Miss Bronscotnbe, of Petrolia, performed the duties of bridesmaid. After partaking of a wedding breakfast, the young couple took the mot ning train north for their future home in Tiverton, TEMPERANCE.—A meeting was held in Ontario St. church, on Tuesday ev- ening, to organize the town tor the plebiscise campaign. Mr Swallow, President for the town organization, presided, whileC.M.Bezzo was appoint - d Secretary. After seine discussion concerning the nature of the work to be undertaken. Horace Foster wasap- pointed vice-president; C.M.13ezzo,pet - manent secretary; and strong commit- tees for each ward, who are to look af- ter the organization of the ;yard, and do necessary work. Another meeting will be held on Tuesday evening, when all in sympathy with this movement are invited to be present. THE PLEBISCITE. --A meeting of the West Riding Executive of the Plebis- cite Association was held in Goderich on Monday afternoon. The person first appointed as Secretary of the Riding, not being in a position to act, W.S,Law- rence was appointed in his stead. Mr Lawrence is just the man foraposition of this kind,and has already entered on his duties. Two organizers were secur- ed in the persons of T. R. Courtice and E. Gregory, who will look after the complete organization of the Riding. It is estimated that it will require about $400 to conduct the campaign, and this amount will be proportionate- ly levied on the various townships. It was also decided to make use of the Do- minion Alliance literature. AMONG THE FARMERS.—The agricul- tural classes are as busy as bees these days. Notwithstanding the early start made this year in cutting hay, a quan- tity still remains uuhoueed and the fall wheat••harvest is at hand. On account of this activity on the farm, trade in the town is a little dull, and is likely to remain so for some time. The report- ed damage by frost appears to be a lit- tle exaggerated, at least as far as the NEW ERA's observation has gone, and with the cool weather which followed the phenomena at this late season it is not thought serious damage will result. Doubtless some low-lying sections have suifeted worse than the high lands,but on the whole there will be 113 general devastation of plants and vines subject to harm from this cause. RAILWAY NOTES.—Conductor Quit k, of the L , H, & B., is enjoying two weeks' holidays, his place being sup- plied by.Couductor Murray. Oantelon & Wallis shipped a car of hogs on Mon- day, bought at $5.10, and for the next shipment' will pay $5.25. The early •morning trains are now delayed a few mitiutes every morning, owing to the large amount of fruit that is shipped by Cantelon Bros., and' also the large amount transferred; this enterprising firm has worked up a very large export business, and during the season handle a•lare'e amount of work; the amount shipped from Clinton is largely in ex- cess of that sent out from any other station in this. neighborhood. Conduc- tor Ireland, of the L. H. &B., was taken suddenly ill last Friday in London, and his daughter was telegraphed for; he went home on Saturday, but bas not yet resumed work. A new conductor, in the person of Jerry Fitzgerald, late of l he Wellington, Grey & Bruce divis- ion, bas been transferred to the L. H. & B. branch to take the place of John Walmsley, resigned; Mr Fitzgerald comes highly spoken of as a gentleman, courteous and obliging• ACCIDENTS.— On Thursday evering Last while the daughters of Geo. Dale, Tuckersmith, and Miss Henry,of town, were on their way out of town, the horse they were driving tookfright,ow- ing to the breaking of a bellyband," and ran away. All three were thrown out, two of them escaping unhurt, but Miss Henry had the misfortune to have her collar bone broken by the buggy turn- ing over on her. On Monday night a boy named Henry, accompanied by Miss Dale, drove the same horse into town again, and just as it passed St. Paul's church the horse took fright and bolted flown Ontario street, Henry pluckily doing his beet to check, the horse. At Gilroy & Wiseman's corner the buggy struck a telegraph post and capsized, the oocupante being thrown out, while the horse swung around the other aide of the post, the harness par- tially coming off;the horse regained its feet, and although in the meantime soma one caught it, there was no way of holding it, and it plunged down Isaac street, the buggy dragging be- hind, and striking two other buggies as it went, but was soon caught a air. The buggies were only siightl injured and that no one Wag seriously Matt wan surprising. O'Neill. 00 Numbly lieu. Watt, I•l ar- loclt, and his daughter-in-law w in town, and ordered from Seale & I' °v- et a handsome monument to be re 't- ed to the memory of Mr Watts' deet as - ed son. The Glass Family gave an en- tertainment bene on Monday to a lath- er small house and repeated it on Ines - day to an even smaller one; there are five sisters, tbe eldest about I7, the youngest about 8, and while t.h.y ale certainly clever in their manipulation of the violin, guitar, &., a course of training would do much to develop their abattles. Messrs Morrell and Morrison started the seasbn's wr.rk on Wednesday afternoon by threshing for John Jusling, of town; this is pretty early threshing. The Collegiate Instit- ute Board of Trustees have received a large number of applicants for the vacancy on the teaching staff, but very few of the apelications are specialists. The debate that was intended to have come off at the last meeting of t ho Good Templars did not take place, and ie in- definitely postponed. Thos. Begley, of Dungannon, invested this week in a Monarch Separator, w ith all the latest improvements, manufactured by Mac- pherson & Hovey Co. It is a good deal to the credit of the Clinton Public School that out of 32 pupils who wrote as the Entrance examination, tbe en- tire number passed. Those of our read• ers who wish to hear a really interest- ing lecture, and one that will also pos- sess the element of humor, sheu'd not fail to hear Thos. McGillicuddy,of Tor- onto, in the Baptist church, next Mon- day evening on the subject "Homely People;" Mr McGillicuddy is aformer Hutonian, and is versatile. flue's.' and witty. The ladies of Rattenbury St. church would like to see a liege num- ber attend the lawn social at the home of Mayor Holmes this evening; the place will be lit by electric light, the band will be present, and there will be every opportunity to have a good time. she other night as a very worthy citizen was on his way home he got a nasty ft ight for a few minutes; it was somewhat dark in the shade of the trees, and he stumbled over an ob- ject that emitted an unearthly groan; when he recovered his equilibrium ne found that the object was a horse which had been tethered on the street. but had got, all tangled up in I he rope. Rev. Mr Clement received the grat- ifying word this week, that his sister near Burford, who had Leen so serious- ly ill, was on the fair way to recovery. A report has been current that Fred Jervis, formerly of the Palace, was a prisoner in the Spanish lines, but this is believed to be incorrect, as he was lately heard from at San Francisco, by his parents in Goderich Tp. Some titne ago Will, son of Jas. Smith, town, suf- fered from appendicitis, and bis father went over to visit him; although he was skilfully.treated at the time,he has never fully recovered from the effects, and is only yet able to give partial at- tention to his business. Mr Searle is authority for the statement that the street electric lights destroy thousands of moths, beetles,and such like insects. K ReeveKennedy received word this week of the death of an old and highly esteemed friend of his at Caledonia, James Old, sr., who was one of the pio- neers of that section; he was a distant relative of Mayor Holmes,by marriage. Mrs ,Davis, Mary St., who has been quite ill, is much better;she bas a mar- vellous constitution for a lady of her age. John Josling was the first one to deliver a load of new wheat at the ele- vator, which he did on Wednesday; it was a fair sample, a little light in weight, due probably to the hot weath- er. Jacob Taylor does considerable in the fire insurance line, as well as in life assurance, and took up over $03 000 in the Merchants', fur the Doherty Organ Factory. Chief Wheatley, ever on the alert for such fellows, pulled.a young man on Wednesday, who was wing around claiming to be suffering from a burnt leg; a doctor who examined the limb gave it as his opinion that the injury had been self-inflicted so as to' elicit sympathy, but as the man had only been begging for something to eat. and had not solicited help in any other way, be was notified to get out of town as quickly as possible. Mrs Olson received a telegram from Guelph yesterday, announcing the death of her father, H. Hambleton, and .leaves Friday morning to attend the funeral. XotthleeeOlthrlie Rance .trite tenter. 010 house at Present'r ceupied by Will' Almost a Calamity A farmer who wanted to have a load of hay weighed on the town scales, asked a shopkeeper near by where he would find a weighmaster. He was told to pull s rope just inside the main entrance to the town hall and that officer would respond, The owner of the hay was just about doing_ so when .a friend a000sted him with: "What now, John?" "Just going to pull this rope." "What for ?' "To call up the weighmaster." "No 1" "Yee." "Well, look here, if you pull that rope you will have the weighmaster on hand sure. You will also have the Mayor, the town clerk, the chief of police and the fire brigade and a whole posse of citizens. You had better not pull the rope, John. Yon will probably get $10 for your load of hay. You will be fined twenty-five dollars, and, like as not, the fire boys wilt bs so angry for having to turn out to a false al sten tat they will maul you so that your appear- ance won't be a oircumstanoe to that of old neighbor Smith, who, you will remember, was chained up in an old-fashioned thresh- ing maohine thirty years ago. No, I wouldn't pull the rope, John." Jonn let go of the rope. He then inter- viewed the shopkeeper, with menace in his eyes, wrath in his heart, forcible language on his tongue, and a threshing machine in his doubled up fists. The upshot of the interview was that the shopkeeper declared that proceedings had taken a tarn not strictly parliamentary and he proposed an adjournment fol refreshments at his ex• pence. This was agreed to and war was averted, On Sunday last R. Holmes travelled 65 miles and conducted three services, which was a pretty good day's work, considering the day. At the last meeting of the Rattenbury St. W.M.J. Auxiliar one of the mem- bers whose eilver wedding occurred re- cently, sent to theTreasureran envel- ope containing 00.25,a thankoffering of a silver quarter for each year of their married life, - SPEND IT HEnn.

It is the dollar that remains 'here and passes from hand to band that does the meet good, and not the dollar eent elsewhere nes- er to return. Hodgens',. Midsummer Bargain may Saturday, July 23rd Twice a year, at the wind-up of each season, we hold a Bargain Day to clean up stocks previous' to inventory. Then it's not a question of how much an article is worth but what price will turn it into ready money. We would rather take what we can get for summer g9ods now than hold them till another season. The. money's better than the goods. See Bargain Day List in last week's NEW ERA and this week's News -Record. We will have extra help and are sure to be busy all day, but the morning is the best time to shop. The store will be open from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m, NEW\ WAIST SILKS 9 We have just opened some very stylish Waist Silks, the newest colorings and patterns, no 03•00 two alike, all pure silk, the Waist length for 44, I-lodgens Bros., DIRECT IMPORTERS, : � CLINTON Bargainishly 1?riced. Are the goods in oar Ten Cent Window. In the first place it's a popular prioe, backed up by exceptional values, and enlivened by a liberal variety. In most oasee they are goods intended to sell for more money. The reason for the reduotian ie that they are odds and ends we are specially anxious to dispose of, and -we rely on the price to do it. They are goods some of which we think any family can use, and the poseeesion of the price of them is a matter of less importance than the posses- sion of the goods. During the past few days they have been viewed by many with surprise and purchased with satiefaotion. We have had inquiries for several of the lines after they have +e been sold out. We think we can safely say that prompt buy_ * ing will ensure you economy and desired variety. The W. D. FAIR CO, Clinton.
