DEATH OP MRS, H. ELPORD. . Mrs. H. Elford of liohnesville died at 8.34) o'clock last evening :after only a• few clays illness. Her death was due to heart failure. Mrs. Elford was a prominent. W. C. T. 17, worker and it was • largely due to her exertions that the Women's Institute of West Huron was organized, She was the first president and 'devoted her time and talent liberally to popularizing the Institute and gave several able ad- dresses at different points throughout the county. She was, a member of the Methodist Church, a consistent Christ- ian and a devoted .wife and mother. The funeral will take place on Satur- day, • THE REASON WHY. Every shrewd newspaper reader readily acknowledges that the most important part of the real news—the news • that effects • pocketbooks—is found in the advertisements of 'the local merchants. •The merchant who advertises is a reporter. He reports, to the newspapers what 'he has to offer., and it is real news. It effects the pocketbook of .every family. If some merchant is making a great run • an shoes and selling them cheap that is news that every person who needs shoes ought to know.. If another is oiler:nit special bargains in overcoatt underwear, eorsets, hats, • furniture, dress goods., earpe•ts, groceries, coal or wood, stoves or anything a family needs it is news that means money to every family and the people ought to know it. That's why. the merchants advertise in the newspapers. . CLINTON GUN CLUB.

Mr. McNair of Dun- gannon, :Rev.: Mr, - Whaley of St. .Helens arid Messrs. R. W. MacKenzie and G. M. Elliott •of Goderich. Rev, Dir. McNair said.' the temper- anee people had been fooled too often by such devices as plebiscites and they are now determined to place men and' measures above •party. ' They had thoroughly -organized and would only support such a candidate as was ac- ceptable to them. They preferred to procure their object through ,one or other of the party candidates hut if neither were acceptable a prohibition candidate would be placed in the field. Rev. Mr. Whaley, who began his ad- dress with " My Reform friends," said it was hard to break away from the moorings of party but temperance was broader than party and the pro- hibitionists . meant to throw their weight this time with the men who were in active sympathy with their views, be they Grit or Tory. Mr. R. W. Mackenzie said he had never given a Tory vote in his life and would not this time if the Liber- al candidate was a prohibitionist but Graetne Cameron he could not and would not support. If the Conserver titre candidate was a prohibitionist he 'would work end vote for him. • Mr. G. M. Elliott spoke in a simil- ar strain. The nominations were then proceed- ed with. Several gentlemen were pro- posed but all withdrew except J. B. Hoover of Clinton, James Mitchell of Goderich awl Mathew Lockhart :of Wawattosh.
