The Clinton News-Record, 1898-05-19, Page 10THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD. MAY 19,1898 "Something Not Very Expensive but will be pretty and nice" was enquired for yesterday by a lady in our Wall Paper department. She had come to the right store. There isn't another line of Goads that can meet such a require- ment as this with such aquantity and quality as you will find here. We sold her a ten cent gilt and she went away much pleased. If you need Wall Paper we think we tan please you. We will esteem it a favor if you will allow us to try. We spend a lot of money in a year for advertising by the use of printers' ink yet we consider our best advertisement is what our customers say about us, we try to make to -day's trade enlarge to -morrow's. It is with this in view that we will verve you as the supplies of Wall Paper to the people of Clinton and vicinity. We still maintain the distinction of being OFTEN THE CHEAPEST, ALWAYS THE BEST.

There is nothing new or desirable that is missing from her tables. Lr ratesatest.) styles in Dress -Making at reasonable We regret to announce that at the trine of writing Mrs. Martin is very ill and her death is hoof ly expected. Mr. Monroe, butcher of Brucetield, met with an accident coming into town on Saturday. His horse took fright, ran into the ditch and partly demolish- ed the wagon, but no one was hurtbe- yond a severe shaking up. We notice the sign, T. C. Bruce, Dentist, adorns our streets now.

Bayfield has reason to congratulate itself on having one of the best -conducted Salvation Army corps in the country. We reported a short titne ago that some young mein were about' to set up a photograph gaper y, but we under- stand the negotiations have fallen through. Mr. Thos. Cameron has a good gallery and we believe such an undertaking would pay well in this locality. On making a tour of the village one is more and more impressed with the beauty and tidy appearance of the place, but we would like to see at least two more lights placed, one at the coi n- or of the Square at the entrance of our village, the other in the neighborhood of the Methodist church. We would also like to see a few hundred feet of lumber and a few cedar posts made into seats for tired mothers to rest upon in the Square while watching the Karnes and amusements of the young. If the town fathers will provide the necessary material, willing hands will do the work gratis. Again the angel of death has visited our village and again the ranks of the aged have suffered loss. Itis our sad duty this week to report -the death of Benjamin Higgins at the age of 05 years. Mr. Higgins had not enjoyed robust health for some months, but no serious results were anticipated until a few days prior to his death, when he was seized with acute bronchitis which. soon wasted his vital energies and death relieved blur of his suffering on Thursday, the 12th inst., at ¢ p. m. Deceased was a native of Belfast, Ireland, and emigrated to Canada early in life, settling first at Brucefield, where he pursued his occupation as a cooper for some time. Subsequently he farmed in Tucker'stnith for a few years and then removed to Bayfield, locating on the Sauhle Line. Shortly after the incorporation of Bayfield in 1876 he was appointed assessor and, with the exception of two or three years, continued Id perform the duties of that office up to the time of his death. He married Fanny McDool, who with a large family of nine grown-up children still lives to mourn the loss of an affectionate husband and indul- gent father. Most of the children re- side in Manitoba and other distant parts, two only, remaining near the old horse, namely, Mrs. John Tippett, of .Bayfield, and Benjamin Higgins, the harness -maker, of Varna. Deceas- ed was a Conservative in politics and a member of the English Church. The funeral took place on Saturday and was largely attended and was conduct- ed under the auspices of the. Orange Order, of which Society Mr. Higgins was an honored member. We extend our sympathies to the sorrowing widow and bereaved family. Thus one by one the old landmarks are pas. sing off the stage of action and very soon none will be left to tell the story of the privations. and difficulties at- tending pioneer life in Canada. It o behoves ins, who inherit the fruits of their labors, to remember with heart- felt gratitude those who have been in- strumental in making Canada a noble heritage. At Quarterly Board Mr. E. Acheson was appointed delegate to the District Meeting at Blyth on the 17th. Mrs. R. W. McKenzie was the guest of her mother, Mrs. Holmes. Mrs. Elford and Mrs. Whitenharn epeut Thursday in Goderich.

E. Stanley is home for a short time. Miss Susie Acheson has purchased a bicycle. Mr. F. Tebhutt and Miss Wellwood, of Fordwich, spent last Sunday with the former's father. Mr. and Mrs. G.
