WHAT THEY ALL SAY. -On renew-
ing her subscription Mrs A, Austin, of

for another brick building in connec-

They will also add another story to

completed they will have a capacity
for making 500 organs per month.
ODDPELLOWS.-The Oddfellows of
town will not have an At Home as pro-
posed, the matter having been drop-
ped. Several Goderich Oddfellows at-
tended the regular society meeting
here on Tuesday night, and last night •
a load went up there to exemplify the

To CORRESPONDENTS. -We must in-
sist upon our correspondents sending
only reliable items, free from offensive
personal "drives." It is very rarely
indeed that any of our correspondents
indulge in this,sort of thing, but there
have been a couple oe cecent indkdents •
maitre.of an annoying maitre. Items that
look innocent, but mean a good deal.

THE UPS AND DOWNS OP LIFE. -The
events of every day life present some
experiences that are exceedingly hard
to appreciate, and one of these is illus-
trated in the case of a certain gentle-
man of the county, a man who stood
so high among hie fellows that for
more than a dozen years continuouslly
he was elected Reeve of the municipal-
ity; yet business reverses overtook
him to such an extent that at the last
municipal election he had no vote.
These are,hard times and the gentle-
man in question is entitled to)a great
deal of sympathy;
THEY CHANGED 1T. -It seems that
Clinton was not the only place where
the appointment by the County Coun-
cil to the Collegiate Board was unsat-
isfactory, for Goderich Collegiate
happened to be situated likewise. The
board 'of Trustees of the Clinton Col-
legiate sent up Mr Forrester and Dr
Shaw as a delegation to ask that Mr
Scott be re -appointed, and after hear-
ing them, the council concluded that a
mistake had been made and rectified it
by re-appoititing Mr Scott. As chair-
man of the board, he has been a most
efficient trustee, and we commend the
county council for its wisdom in mak-
ing the change. Mr Acheson, of Gode-
rich,was also re -appointed to the board
ofithat place. In Seaforth no change
was made to the first appointment.
ORANGEMEN. -The annual meeting
of South Huron L.O.L., was held in
Clinton on Feb. 2nd, and was Largely
attended. The different districts sent
a good representation of delegates,and
the addresses given by the County
Master, Jno. Neil, and the District
Master, showed the order to be in .it
prosperous condition. Following are
the officers elected for the ensuing
year: -W. M., Jno. Neil; D. M., G. M.

HODGENS BROS,
THE DRY GOODS PALACE, CLINTON
On Saturday evening last, the llth year of the history of the Business under
the present firm, and with a Bargain Day that will not soon. be forgot-
ten by those who took advantage of the list we offered, and now just a
few words of review. The name of J tckson's Clothing Establishment
is an old one, dating from 18,54, (13 years) and is to -day one of the old-
est Clothing Establishments in the County. Its growth has been a
steady one and to -day we point with pride to the largest and without
doubt the finest Merchant Tailoring, Clothing and Furnishing Store in
Ontario, doing business all over the country, carrying a class of goods
that is seldom seen outside of the biggest stores in the cities, and ever
keeping abreast of the times, which means a good deal, for the methods,
systems, goods, prices, etc., of 20 years ago are not the same to-day.-
Ne.ther can the farmer succeed to -day if he runs his farm as he did 20
years ago, and he don't either, for he adopts the latest and up-to-date
methods. We are constantly thinking and planning for our ever in-
creasing business, and do our best to please the buying public. For
SOMA time,$past we have been preparing for spring 1807, and will have
lots to say about the new Leaders that we are getting ready; they will
be a surprise to all Clothing buyers,'and no ocr- .•• a afford to miss seeing
our Spring Stock.

During February and until further notice we le
rVwill offer on SATURDAY a few Specials of lines
that are either odd sizes or over bought that will
