That it would cost considerable is at once ad- mitted, but it would be a decided ad- vantage as far as fire risks are concern- ed. At the Council meeting on Monday night Mr Irwin showed how the town had lost a possible business by not hav- ingasystem of waterworks. He had been negotiatingwith ac, mpany for the establisment of a packing house here, and the company had favorably con- sidered the proposition until they found out that there were no water works system here, and it dropped on- ly on that account. We belies e that it would be wisdom on the part of the Council to find out what would be the cost of a system here, and submit it to the people. If the people decided that they did not want it, that would end the matter, but we most assuredly think it would be a wise proceeding on the part of the town, NOTES —The concert given by tl e Clinton Orchestra, at Hensall, Last Thursday, was not as largely attended as the merits of the entertainment warranted.

We have all the new things in Hats we always had the name of keep• ing • just the right thing in Hats. A man owning and wearing one. of our Hats, makes presentably neat and tidy the tousled and un- manageable labrynth of tufted moss which crowns the cranium of the quarter back. A Jackson Hat makes a weak minded man feel strong, and an ugly man conscious that he has no rival; a Jackson hat is just as necessary to a Clin- ton man's e pBao of mind as a first. class piece of Hemp is to a strong piece of rope. They cannot talk through a Jackson Hat, they are too strong and stout a material to talk through, We guarantee our Hats against everything except abuse, one may be soiled by dropping it in the ditch or twisted out of shape if thrown in the way of a cyclone, but if worn on the head, where it be- longs to, it will last longer than another hat in the world. • BUYS, A • Jackson .
