GOLD FIND IN GODERICH TOWNSHIP.
—F01 some time there has been intense
excitement over the immense gold
ffuds throughout the Dominion, but
there was 110 suspicion of gold being
discovered in Goderich township. One
day last weeks residential farmer, who 1
was wilkin the cows, discovered a
rich find, the precious metal heing a
gold wedding ring presented his wife
° some fifteen years or more since. The
lady had lost the ring about the title
d of bet- marriage and the find of gold
has doubtless revived many happy
recollections. Mr, Samuel Sturdy was
° the lucky finder,
S A TREAT FOR CLINTON ON CIVIC
f HOLIDAY.—"A Trip with a Salvation-
ist from the Atlantic to the Pacific"
will be the subject of a very popular
address given by Major J. F. Southall,
Provincial Commander of Wept
l Ontario forces and late of the Pacific
y provinces, in the S. A. barracks Thurs-
day evening, Aug. 5th. Stirring tales
of early battles in New Brunswick and
t Nova Scotia : thrilling life stories from
u Montana, Washington and mining
d districts of British Columbia and Ida-
ho. This is the Major's welcome to
d Clinton and we trust Clinton friends
a will not be backward in giving hits a
loyal welcome with thousands of others
who have already done so. Do not
miss this treat.
WEDDING}.—On Wednesday, July 28,
tia very happy event occured at the resi-
dence of Mr. Thos. Lavan, when his
second daughter, Miss Mabel, was uni-
ted In marriage to Mr. E. Laird Will-
iamson of Toronto. Rev. A. Stewart
officiated. 11 The bride was assisted by
Miss Whitworth of St. Marys and Mr.
Fred Lavan did like duties for the
groom. After the ceremony all sat
down to an excellent lunch provided
for the occasion. Mr. and Mrs.
Williamson left on the 4.25 train
for London, St. Marys and other points,
before going to Toronto where they
will reside. The presents to the bride
were both numerous and costly.
GRANOLITHIC WALKS. -It Is with
pleasure THE NEWS -RECORD chron-
icles the fact that the Mayor favors
granolithie walks, something this
journal advocated several years ago for
Clinton. In presenting the estimates
Monday evening His Worship favored
the issuing of debentlu•es to build
them. It had been roughly estimatect
that 7,000 square yards, or probably
more, would be required. He noticed
where this walk had been put down
for ten cents a square yard and spoke
of'our $1,400 yearly expenditure at
I resent for walks and roads, Clinton
should certainly seriously consider the
advisability of some kind of more per-
manent walks.
CLINTON BOWLERS AT LONDON. -
Two rinks of Clinton Bowlers took in
the London tourna.nlent last week and
the following will show that our clab
came well to the front and succeeded
p in bringing house some of the prizes.
D. A. Forrester's rink won four mat•
ches beating London, Chatham, Wood-
stock and Seaforth and lost one each
to Mitchell and Pitt -is. G. D. McTag-
gavt',,t i ink defeated Chathatm, Seaforth
and London and succeeded in getting
into the finals for the Labatt Troph
only losink by a few points to a crack
team from Hamilton. G. D. McTag-
gart's rink consisted of W. Taylor, A.
J. Taylor and J. P. Tisdall and each
player brought home a silver cup. D.
A. borrestev's rink consisted of W.
Jackson, J. W. Rattenbury and John
' Ransford. D. A. Forrester and W.
Jackson won second prize in the con-
test for Doubles and now they carry a
silver -mounted cane each. Two rinks
will probably go to St. Thomas on the
Civic Holiday and there is some balk of
one rink going to the Niagara tourna-
ment on the 7th of August.
JOINED IN JULY.—A very pretty
Event transpired at the Ontario Street
Methodist church last Wednesday
afternoon, when Mr. John Green and
'Miss Annie Alexander were pronounced
man and wife. At three o'clock Miss
Maud Goodwin played the wedding
march, the groom and assistant, Mr.
Will Green, tatting their places. The
bride, beautifully attired in cream with
veil and orange blossoms, carrying a
beautiful bouquet of roses, carie ap
the aisle leaning on the arm of tier
father. The bridesmaid was Miss Lula
Stanley and little Miss Jessie Green as
maid of honor. Rev. B. Clement per-
foruted the solemn ceremony in the
presence of a large number of guests.
After the ceremony some fifty guests
were a tertained to it auruptuous re-
past at the residence of the bride's
father'Mr. Win. Alexander. Thenum-
erous valuable presents to the bride
shows the high est.eenl in which she
is held. Mr. all(] Mrs. Green left on
the evening train for Wingham, where
they intend making their lionte. The
best wishes of is very large circle of
friends follow the estimable couple.
Mr. Green will engage in the bakery
business on his own account.
THE LATE GICORGE 11'fCCARTNF.Y.--
There is still another vacant sent in the
pioneer ranks of Huron. This time the
noble spirit of George McCartney, 16th
concession, Goderich township, was
unexpectedly suulrmoned to the great
beyond. He died last Friday, aged SO '
years. The deceased wits born in the '
county of Wexford, Ireland, and emi-
grated to Canada in ISf2. After coni-
ng to this country he resided atSinith's
Falls for nine years, and then pressed
on for future fortunes in the good old '
Huron Tract. Finally he settled on
lot 12, con, 10, Goderich township,
where he breathed his last. Some
years ago he married Miss Eliza
Christie, and by dint of hard work the
couple hewed out a comfortable home.
The farm contains 80 acres of fine, well. j
tilled land and has erected on it coni. i
modione farm buildings. The deceased 1
was in every sense of the term an hon- 1
orable man and very highly respected c
by every neighbor and everyone who
knew bun. kle had been more or less
ill for several years, but no immediate t
apprehension wits (anticipated. In the 1
early days the late Mr. McCartney was 1
rugged, hearty and strong and always 1
faced life's battles with an iron will ,
and constitution. The flrst stump t
chopped on his farm still remains as a
monument to his indefatigable indust-
ry, integrfty and worth. He leaves no I
family, his bereaved, aged and highly f
respected widow surviving. The late 1
Mr. McCartney was a, member of the 1
Episcopal Ohurch and it Conservative. 1
The immediate cause of death was old 1
age and heart trouble. Tse funeral t
took place to Clinton c'emetry on Soul. t
day afternoon and wits very largely 1
attended. Mr. Thos. W. McCartney, li
nephew of deceased, has been looking t
after the farm for some years, and we t
are pleased to learn C}lilt such a steady, 1
industrious young miul.will c'011tinueto
do so.

THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE'S DUTIFB.-
Che New Era does not like to have the
Mayor in any way held responsible for
,he licensing of what it terms a "fakir"
or $1.00, and who in consequence
egally swindled the people of Clinton

its responsibility in the future as he
las in Lhe past. In section 244 the
aw defines the duties of the Mayor
end on this occasion it clear delerelic-
ion of duty is apparent.

very forcibly was the great demand for our best goods.
We sold more better suits than we bave done for yQars

getting tiredof buying cheap, shoddy goods, and are begin-
ning to realize that it pays well to buy the best.
We have still left a few odd lines of Aods
which we will sacrifice to close out and
buyers in need of Furnishings or Clothing
should call and see us.
We are now getting ready for a big season's business and
we will have a stock to show that will not be equalled by
any house in the West. Our stock of Woollens are coming
