Vtiti OIl 7�ESTRA CONCERT.—The l'kfhbezvi of i e Clinton Orchestra are 'itnging'a superb program for their cert Sheri; 6n the evening of the 25th and look for a generous patron - M 1iarry Rich, of Tot onto, com- v'ucalist and comedian, (one of the t in ,Oanada,) and Mrs Greig, the Witt' and clover elocutionist of Seo - ti:, have both been secured PO the wioih, and With other locaLtalont preaent it ,, choice and eeeept able ram. The,Members of the brchee- will. also provide some entertaining beret and the public will find the tif"e;progtam to be oho of the best. fi SUDDEN Dame—The death. of Miss Mary Churchill, eldest daughter of Mr John Churchill, of town, on Tuesday, was entirely unexpected. She was taken ill on Sunday, soon becoming un- conscious, and never rallied; the cause of death was congestion of the brain. She was in her 22nd year, and was an amiable young lady, and her parents have the deep sympathy of their many. friends in this sad bereavement. PROPERTY CHANGE,—Mrs J. Rudd, of Goderich township, has bought the house at present occupied by •Mrs H. Andrews, Mary St., together with one lot, the consideration being about 51000, at which price it is not a dear property. Mrs Andrews intends to give up housekeeping, and offers some of her effects for sale. Mrs Rudd and daughters will at once move to town; we welcome them to out midst. CORRECT TIME.—Our townspeople may now rest assured that our bell- ringer has the exact time; for each day at five minutes to twelve he may be seen at Cooper's book store awaiting the tick of the telegraph instrument, which announces the exact time at the Dominion Observatory in Toronto. Formerly the time of the regulators was nearly always different, but now that the C. P. R, have made such a splendid arrangement Messrs Crews, Rumball and Grigg's time are all cor- rect and the regulators are closely watched each day. SAFE.—Letters received from Dr. Mary Irwin, daughter of J. W, Irwin, stated that she had safely arrived at Colombo, on the 30th of Dec., and found 'telegrams awaiting her wel- coming her to the island; friends were there to meet her and Dr. Ker, and after spending a week or so at Colom- bo, she proceeded to her destination at Jaffna; she describes the scenery of the country as something beautiful and gorgeous, while the climate was very enjoyable. The people are very hospi- table, and seem to be wonderfully con- siderate to Europeans, looking after their welfare in every possible way. DEATH.—On Sunday last Annie Mill- er, of Bayfield, underwent a surgical operation in town for appendicitis; she had been suffering with it for only a short time, but her system was' too weak to stand the stock, she dying on Tuesday; she was just entering wo- man's estate, being a little more than 20 years of age, and was a hs.Jf-sister of Mrs James Eagleson, at whose home the operation took place; she was also a half-sister of Mrs Harry and Mrs Peter Ker. the body was taken to Bayfield for •interment. Deceased was a very popular young lady in Bayfield, being a member of the Episcopal choir, and her early death is deeply lamented. RAILWAY NOTES.—His many friends will regret to learn that Mr 0. W. Graves, G.T.R. travelling passenger agent, of Toronto, tor merlyof London, is seriously ill with typhoid fever. Conductor Walmsley, of the L., H. & B., is on the sick list, his duties being `performed by Conductor Schwab. W. Sherbrook, of town, who has been con- nected with the G.T.R. at Fort Erie, has left the service of the company. A magnificent coupon -ticket case has been added to the G.T.H. office here. R. Granger left, for Cripple Creek, Colo., on Friday, booked by A. O. Pat- tison, G.T.R. station. Robt. Elliott, of iodei•ich township, left op Tuesday for Liverpool, via Dominion line, book- ed by A.O. Pattison. ' I. 0, G. T. NOTES.—The Temperance Lodge„ has, made great progress this last week. They have now the finest "Te -49 in the district. There is no bet- ter place to spend an evening than in the Oddfellows' Hall Fridayevening of every week. The following" officers were installed for the quarter: C. T., D. Stevenson; V. T., Alice Cottle; Rec. Sec., Albert Downs; Ass. Sec., Challie Barge; Fin. Sec., A. Cooper; Treas., Mrs Seward; P.C.T., W. Moore; Chap., Mrs Stevenson; Mar„ J. arter; D. Mar., Sadie Izzard; Guard, Id Tebbutt; en. S. Kemp. They have a cepted an nvitation from Londesboro lodge, to visit them on Feb. 23. A big turnout is expected if the weather is favorable. A NEw POST OFFICE.—The Council of Seaforth intend to ask the Govern- ment for the erection of a new post -of- fice in that place, and the Expositor says:—"Although we are not in favor of the erection ' of public buildings by the Government for political purposes, we can heartily endorse the action of the Council in this mat- ter." This is equivalent to saying "the principle of erecting post offices in small places is wrong, but we are will- ing to overlook the wrong if we can get a post -office." There are hundreds of places needing a post -office just as much as Seaforth does—Clinton is one of them—and the Government will have its hands full if it starts er- ecting new offices at every place that needs one. We are afraid the people of Seaforth will have to wait awhile before the new post -office is built. DEATH OF MRS_ JOS. JACKSON.—The Mitchell Advocate says:—"It. is with feelings of regret that we chronicle this week the death of Mrs Jos. Jack- son, of Fullarton, which occurred at her home on the evening of Wednes- day last. Deceased had not been well for the past two years, being troubled with an abnormal growth, which fin- ally caused her death. She was a kind and generous hearted woman, and the community among whom she passed the most of her life, feel that there has gone from their midst one who was ever ready to lend a helping hand. It is comforting, however, to know that she was conscious to the last, and per- fectly reconciled tei the will of God. Two grown up sons and a husband are left to mourn her lose." [This lady was a_ sister-in-law of Mrs J. McClacherty.] FROM THE WEST.—Under date of Feb. 11, Mr David Elcoat, formerly of Tuckersmith, writes from Ontario, Cal., as follows:—"We have had a lovely winter this year, with lots of rain, and everything is -looking beautiful and very good prospects of a very heavy crop for next •year, in both fruit and grain. The peach and almond trees are in full bloom. About one-half of the orange crop for this year is market- ed already. They began shipping as eatly as the middle of November, a mouth earlier than usual, owing part- ly to the previous extremely dry win- ter. We had two very light rainfalls for two or three winters previous to this one; in fact, the sources of watel supply were lower than they have been any summer for 19 years, but we thank an ever kind Providence we are getting lots of it this Winter, about 17 inches already, and two more Months that we expect rani in, Hoxss NOTES.—Mr J. McMapn was here last week buying up a few horses tor Michigan. Mt George Farquhar, of Hullett, sold a good team at $210. We understand Mr T. Inglis has sold bis fine stallion, Pride of Oxford the Second, to a Manitobian. NFw BUILDINGS. — Cooper Bros., builders, have contracts for the erec- tion of new houses for E. Butt, Sum- merhill, and P. McDougall, Porter's Hill. They have also the contract for the extensive additions to be made to the Doherty Organ Factory, which means the adding of two stories to one building -80x40 and one new building 43x50, four stories high, solid brick. "Our own Sam" left this morning for Crediton to buy the brick necessary for this addition. A ORANGE.—Desiring to give all their attention to the dry goods trade proper, Hodgene Bros. have sold their stock of tweeds &c., to Jackson Bros. and retire from the ordered clothing business. Jackson Bros. whose fame as clothiers is too well known to re- quire special mention, may also se- cure the services of Mr Morgan, the popular cutter of The Palace, and be, therefore in a better position than ever to increase their extensive trade. WEDDING.—On Wednesday after- noon the home of Mr Thos. Farquhar, was the scene of one'of—these happy events where "two hearts are made to beat as one," when his youngest daughter, Miss Etta, was married to Mr WesleyJ. Moore, the ceremony being perfrmed by Rev, J. F. Parke. Both are among the popular young people of the town and a number of friends gathered at the station to see them off on their wedding tour to De- troit. HOUSE OF REFUGE.—The Committee of the House of Refuge, consisting of Messrs. Hyslop (chairman) Mooney and Torrance, together with the War- den, County Clerk Lane and Inspec- tor Coats, met here on Friday to let the contracts for supplies, &c. Mr J. W. Irwin, who has been supplying the groceries foe'some time, was the suc- cessful tenderer again out of five; Mr J. A King got the contract for bread, and Ford & Mur phy the meat contract. Several other minor matters were left at the disposition of the Inspector. The Committee declined to appoint a chaplain, as requested by the town ministers, but ordered the Inspector to hire a livery when necessary for any of the ministers; it is likely the County Council, at its June meeting, will deal with the appointment of a chaplain. CHECKER EXPERTS. — On Tuesday evening the following persons went down to W. Grant's, London Road, for a checker contest, and were successful; Messrs Hoover, Bruce, S. Wilson, I. Taylor and Jas. Cook, their opponents being Messrs W. Grant, L. Wiltse, A. McKenzie J. Murdock and N. Snyder. Thirty games were played, 6 by each pair, the score standing at the close 13 for Clinton; 10 for the Loudon road boys, with 7 draws. The following were the individual scores:— Won Drawn Total Taylor lltse j 4 o 4. 2 We are Trying To Better This mousiness Bruce Grant 3 Hoover Murdoch Wilson McKenzie 1 3 Cook Snyder 3 3 1 2 1 4 1 1 2 4.... 1 1 ... ..........2....3 0 0 3 , 3 - 3 12 10 At the conclusion of the match all sat down to a substantial supper and the sentiment was voiced by ail the visitors that an enjoyable evening had been spent. It is expected that a re- turn match will be played in town next week. LITTLE LOCA S.—Harry Cowan, for- merly assistant, in J. H. Roberts' drug store, Seaforth, and well known in Clinton, has purchased a drug business in Forest. Mr G. M. Kilty's horse got scared the other day and broke the harness while standing in front of Can- telcn Bros'. Store. The team owned. by Mr Fair. and used for hauling flour, etc., has seen nearly 20 years of service and look to be good for several years yet. A family of Syrians who recently moved here from Walkerton, have re- turned to ' that place. The winter is passing along nicely, but there's plenty of time yet for cold and stormy weath- er. Several "weddings: are in prospect ere long. Miss Cudmore is visiting in Toronto. D. Oantelon shipped a load of hogs on Tuesday; price about $4.15 per cwt. James Southcombe, Hullett,. is in Toronto this week. Mr D. R. Menzies, of Staples, was shaking hands with old friends on Wedneday. We are sorry to hear that Mr Will White, of Winnipeg, brother of Miss Louie White, has again been on the sick list; the best thing Will can do is to return t.oClinton to reside. At thenext meet- ing of the Town Council a delegation from the W. C. T. II. will ask for a re- duction in the number of hotel licenses °granted in town. We are sorry to know that Mr Wm. Pearson is not im- proving any; at his age it could hardly be looked for. Division Court next Tuesday. The Curlers went to Sea - forth yesterday. There was a funeral in town on Friday, one on Saturday, another on Sunday, two on Monday, and one to -day, (Friday.) The assess- or has started on his rounds. Fair's Mill and Stapleton are both getting in a lot of loge. In addition to the others who usually handle ice, W. Wheatley is storing a large quantity for the summer. It has been suggested that it would be a good idea to build a vault at the Cemetery, and thus avoid the exposure incident to winter funerals. Mrs Robert Callander was this week visiting at Seaforth. Messrs Seale & Hoover took an order last week for a magnificent red Swede sarcophagus, to be erected in Goderich cemetery to the memory of Mrs Willoughby. Mr Tis - dell, who is quite an art connoiseur, is this week attending a sale of high class paintings in Toronto. The Hockey Team went to Exeter un Tuesday even- ing, playing a match there, which re- sulted 113 a draw -5 to 5. The apple market is now better than it was earli- er in the season, and Mr D. Cantelon is taking advantage of it by shipping to the old country , from Milverton. Tom Wigginton is this week putting up windmills in the vicinity of Kincar- dine. Mrs J. McCartney, Moosejaw, is the guest of Mr Findlay McEwan.— Mrs Lester Scott is visiting her brother, Mr Plummer, Principal of Blyth school. Prof. Welch, phrenolo- Cist, has been giving lectures hi the onnell Chamber for three nights this week and holding consultations at his rooms; the lectures have been well at- ttended, and are highly spoken of by those who. have heard him. Mrs. Mog- ridge, of ,Hullett, thinks of moving to town to reside. • All the time; better it by giving you better Dry Goods, better values, better service, better everything that ought to be found in a first-class dry goods establish- ment. Of course in every store there is an occasional slip—a parcel goes wrong, there's some misunderstand- ing or something is not sent as ordered; it is impossible tg wipe these annoyances out 'altogether, but we try . and have them as few as possible, and if at any time they should''' occur we would like to know about it. For Months Past We have been making preparations for the coming spriug trade. Samples by the score were gone over and orders placed at bottom prices for the goods we nded for early spring business, almost every day now we are opening parcels and cases, and are ready with NEW PRINTS, NEW COTTONS, NEW VEILINGS, NEW SKIRTINGS, NEW SHEETINGS, NEW DRESS GOODS, NEW EMBROIDERIES. The price on°every article is right, we're sure of that, and you're welcome to come and look the new goods over any time, whether you care' to buy or not. Just a word about the Prints— they are the kind that are soft, that wear, that will wash and keep their color, as for the patterns, people say they are the talk of the town, that they are by far the prettiest Prints ever shown here. That Kid Glove Sale Has started out well and is bound to be a success, it can't help but befor reliable Lacing Gloves at 69c and regular 90c and Si$Button Gloves at 55c, can't be had every day. As we said last week, if you want Kid Gloves or will inside of a year, it will pay to buy now. HODGENS BROS, THE DRY GOODS PALACE, CLINTON WE DONT PAY THE EDITOR OF THIS PAPER FOR THIS SPACE For nothing, we use it week after yveek all the year, round and ever since it first issued, to tell the buying public what we are doing. It's the best money we spend and we get full value for it, or we would not keep it up. It is true, some . people may notbelieve all we say, for we often hear people say they got fooled once, and that was enough for them, but no one can ever say that about our weekly talk, ours are honest, and you may depend on what we say. We use the columns of this paper to tell you what we are doing. Nearly everybody who sub- scribes for this" paper knows that JACKSON BROS. are in the Clothing Business, but they read our "ad" because we always have something to offer that must be told in this way. Last week a well known man in town came in and asked our clerk for one of the Specials we advertised last week, and when shown the article said, "Tain't cheap if tain't good." That's just it, the old obsolete phrase, nothing is cheap that is not good, applies always. We defy anyone to beat our well known Leaders, con- sidering the quality; take, for instance, our $2 and $3 pants, our $7 and $10 Suits. We are selling more and more each year, which speaks for itself, and every year they are better. We are building for this season's trade the greatest $2 Pants, and best $7 Suit ever seen in Clinton. We, got the inside track on the buying, and we are enabled to givea greater Cloth than ever in all these, our celebrated Leaders. and we will have more to say later on about them. 2 Cases of our old country Goods came in last week for our fine ordered work, and the Gentlemen of Clinton who buy.from this lot are sure to be fashionably dressed, and it would be a good thing to call and select early and have a good choice. Everything in suit lengths, no two alike. Invoices for Hats are in, and we expect a big trade in a few weeks. Everybody always wants the newest in Hats. Many from other towns come to us for them, which speaks well for our reputation. London, England, is where we buy nearly all our Ties, and we have advice from Welsh, Margetson & Co., the celebrated Furnishing House, and they are on the way. Next Saturday only, and for Cash We will Offer the following at prices that should clear every one them before noon :- 9 Youths' odd Tweed Coats, double breasted, size 34, 35, r" egular price $7.48.... $3.49 11 Children's odd Coats, broken lines, sizes 22, 24, 25, 27, regular price $3 and $4 ... : $1.19 24 Men's Hats, stiff and soft, odd sizes. regua lar price $1.50 and $2 .49 For Short men, 11 short ends of Trousering Tweed, regular price $4.50 to $5.50........$2.49 JACKSON BROS CLINTON of 1 ORATION On an interesting subject is enjoyable and sometimes profitable to the listeners. Instead of attempting wordy flights of, elor 1te e we speak with the convincing and ire esistible logic of Grea. and Modest Pri4es. The prices here quoted are striking illustrations of how we se. the advantage of our customers' pockets. Examine them in our eas window, and form your own opinion, whether you need them or not they are worth looking at. A WRITING TABLET—a very fair quality of paper, either large or small size, five cents. A BOY'S KNIFE—metal handle, what every boy will highly ' prize, at 6 cents. For 10 cents we will -give you a better one with bone handle, or a very neat one suitable for ladies' use. HOUSE GLEANING is coming and you will need a Tack Ham- mer, 10 cents is what we ask for a full polished one with claws. 5c for an all iron japanned one or a coppered one with wood handle.— Every house should have one of these.
