Bowu us, -The Clinton bowlers went
to Seaforth last Friday, and were de-
feated. On Monday the Seaforth club
played a return game here, and they
' were defeated. For the first time in

SoME CATTLE. - Last week Taylor
Bros., of Minnedosa, Man., (sons of W.
Taylor, town) handled over 600 head of
`.cattle. Of these they shipped to the
astern markets 22 cars, and the bal-
ance -•-some 200 head -they are putting
Gln"a ranch. The boys have evidently
gene into the stock business quite ex-
tetneively.

• the past three months by county mag-
f3trates, number 28, of which 14 were
by'Seaforth magistrates,the others be-

of the offences were for infraction of
the liquor law, and the fines in these
,oases were $20 each, while 15 of the oth-
"=eer.offenders were up for minor offences

;.'CIOEs ONE BETTER. - Referring to
our item about "Profit and Piga" last
Week, W. Weir goes even better than
t• he circumstance there recorded. He
salts that within nue year he sold
eighteen pigs, t hp result of three litters
from the same sow, realizing there-
frori $220. lames Cornish informs us
that he has 25 pigs from one sow, the
result of two litters. If we„can keep
on puhlishing furs like these it should
s inocrtn5 to the hog trade.
LEGAL MATTERS. -On Monday a
,Couple of young men here were placed
under arrest charged with bringing,
'Mime a better set uf harness from Mil-
+erton fair than they took there; the
exebange was in reality only a change
of bridles, and the matter being arum -
/ably adjusted, they were discharged.-
,A.youth of town was fined a nominal
:it -Mount for an assault on, another on
;Sunday night; for some tithe there has
'been an effort on the part of town boys
to ?'play smart” with boys from the
•country, and it had gone so far that it
had to be stopped. „

was recently buying and packing apples
in the district around Harriston, called
in on Monday with three of the largest
Ribston Pippin apples we have ever
seen. They were grown by MrWilkin,
of Minto, and Mr Thompson said he
packed nine bar rels of just as good fruit
in Mr Wilkins' orchard. We can tes-
tify that the flavor is all right. One
apple measured 10 inches in circumfer-

ton, recently left Superior City, where
he has been located, and has taken up
a lucrative practise at Ossesso in the,
same state. The many friends of Mise

Collegiate stats, will be sorry to learn
that she is in precarious health, at her

A reputation in business is the most precious possession a
firm can have. It is prioelees. It cannot be bought. It
is acquired, maintained and preserved by satisfying the
people. To give this satisfaction is our constant aim. We
have during the past week satisfied several customers with
our purses and wallets. It is a stook whioh is very com-
plete, and was bought with the customer's satisfaction in
view. Our lines at 35o and 60o are still favorites. We
nave better lines at higher prices just as cheap. Youu:9.y
see lower prides advertised,but no better valve. We think
you will agree with us that when an article you have
bought groves unsatisfactory it is small comfort to con-
sider that it cost a little less than one really good. We
offer you a variety and assortment ouch as few houses can
and assure you of the quality and pride advantage which
is a timely consideration.

An increase of 60 per cent in our September businese,compared to the.

HOSIERY .

We are told by good buyers that our stock of Boys' Hosiery
is the cheapest goods in tow11. We sell a big quantity, and
there must be something in it. Our 25c line is a wonderfully
good thing.
We also carry the finest lines of CASHMERE in all
sizes.
We've tried to sell
other makes of fine
sues which carried
more profit.
But we find the peo-
ple want a makers'
guarantee stamped on
the sole with the name
and fixed price,
Now "The Slater" is just
that kind of 'a shoe and peo-
ple have asked us why they
should buy other shoes
which they don't know when they might
have a guaranteed, price controlled
article like the "Slater Shoe" for the same
or less money.
Because we could'nt answer that
question satisfactorily we have put on a
sale and will clear out of stock every
other make of shoe we have from $3.00
up at whatever price we can get for it.
This is to make more room for the
shoe the people want—"The Slater Shoe"

and price.
