Mr A. T. Cooper has recovered from his
recent illness and is attending to his
business as usual. Mr Little, town, show-
ed us secenagrawth,..cloyer,-on...Tues..•
day, which measured over two feet in
length; this is good fur one month's
growth. Messrs. Forrester and Swal)-
acombe and Mr Perrin report having
taken in several loads of new wheat,
Which is said to be anexcellent sample;
some persons report a yield of 40 bush-
els to the acre, but about 30 bushels
will be a very good average. A lady
travelling to Clinton the other day
had the misfortune to lose her pocket
book, containing about $25, in the
train, and has not yet recovered it.
The publishers of iihe London News
have notified intending advertisers
and others, that the proposed illustrat-
ed number tor Clinton will not be is-
sued, the reason given being that the
patronage did not warrant it. Mr Al-
len has rented the'frame house of Mr
W. Cantelon, Albert St. A few days
since, while a party from Goderich
were down here, one of the ladies sup-
posed she had lost her watch ; bills
were issued offering a reward for the
recovery of the watch, and it was
found—in the lady's room at home,
where it had been all the time. Mr
Albert Seely has green corn fit for use,
which is an excellent sample. Some
of the campers who have been on the
lake shore for several—weeks,' Wend to
pull up stakes and enjoy the comforts
of civilization this week. Mr J. Em-
merton and wife have returned from
their trip up the lakes, after a most
enjoyable tune. Le, Trouse has taken
a situation at Woodstock. While sur-
rounding places complain about flood-
ing rains and destructive storms by
lightning, Clinton enjoys comparative
exemption from there things; this is
another argument in favor of Clinton
as a place of residence; come here if you
want to escape the lightning. A sit-
ting of the Division Court was held on
Saturday, but only a couple of cases
were disposed of; what has happened
here only once before was the appear-
ance of Mr Garrow, on legal business,
before the court; he usually leaves such
cases to his partner, Mr Proudfoot, who
is away on a holiday. Miss Hartt will
re -open her private school on August
16th ; it is a place where young child-
ren will receive the best of training.
Mr N. Robson has been confined to the
house for a couple of days but is get-
ting around again. Hiram Hill is at
present doing the masonry for the new
brick house of Mr Blair, cut line, Gode-
rich township. It is expected that
about 300 delegates will attend the S.S,
and C.E. convention hereon Au .2t-25;
this will be a good opportunity for our
wide-awake business men to do a little
special decorating and advertising.—

stolen from Butler's livery on Wednes-
day; the owner was here yesterday

Manitoba, who was said to have been
discourteous to Mr Tarte and other M.
P's, will probably he asked to resign.
Rev. Dr. Macdonald, wife and daugh-

spending, a holiday among his old

Rev. 5. Bond, of Seaforth, President
of Conference, accompanied by Mrs
Bond, was in town on Wednesday.
Mr Bond leaves shortly for Halifax, to
attend a meeting of Mission Board,
which will be held in that city.
Rev. Mr Stewart has completed the
19th year of his pastorate over Willis
church congregation. His text on
Sunday morning last was Psalm 126:
6 and 6; his subject being the discour-
agements and encouragements in the
prosecution of christian work, taking
the parable of the sower and Christ's
explanation of it as illustrrit,ing the
subject. The discouragements were
many, but those roost dwelt upon were
the carelessness and indifference of
he'trert, their lack of preparation, and
the enemies which beset both the sow-
er of the good seed and the ground
where sown. Sortie of the encourage-
ments were discussed, but especially
the absolute certainly of a harvest as
proven in the text. Mr Stewart, at the
close of his discourse made feeling and
solemn reference to his 10 years work
in the congregation, We congratu-
late Mr Stewart and his congregation
that they are commencing another
year in their relation as pastor and
people under such happy and prosper-
ous circumstances. It is a pleasant
and profitable lesson to the communi-
ty to behold the tie which has coratinto
ed for so long, standingsit well the
tests whish tithe must suject it to.

Profit
.-----,
We do not make a practice of selling
goods without a profit. We don't
advertise that we do. You wouldn't
believe us if we did, and advertising
is of no use to us unless you have
confidence in what we say in the pa-
per, Sometimes however, it pays
us to lose sight of profit on certain
lines, pays us better to. let them go
without a profit than to keep them
over a season trying to get one. Just
now we're selling Parasols, Shirt-
waists, Muelius and many odd lines
of Summer Goode with the one idea
of getting them out and turning
them into ready cash. That means
e have let the profits go. People
are saving money here every day.
You can too.
Print

On Monday next, or perhaps Satur-
day, we will place on sale over 1200
yards of New Prints, all good quality
and fast oolors. There are a few
light ones in the lot, but they are
nearly all dark. They are good for
waists,;for dresses, for ciuilts, for lin-
ings, or anything you can use prints
for. They won't last long when you
see the quality and find that the
