20 Cents on the Dollar off all Cloth Overcoats means a big
loss to us, but we do not believe in carrying goods over from one
season to another. The first loss is the best ; it keeps our stocks
clean ----no odd lots accumulating, which get harder to sell each year.
We mean to make January, 1906, the biggest on. record, and if
price will do it, we can consider it done, as price, . although silent,
is the best Salesman we have..

settlement with Mrs. Ball, Clinton,
concerning the death of bee son, by
the payment of $750 and all costs.
-On Friday last Ui•ias Everson of
Garafraxa, near reading, got his
right hand caught, in a Butting box,
and before the belt could be thrown
oft, the stand was chopped off Os far as
the wrist.
-A young man named W. Miller of
Stilton, while an the Guelph train
Friday night, got off at Moorefield,
stepped aboard again when the train
was starting, missed his hold and fell
under the wheels. One of his feet
was cot off.
--Geo. F. Gibson, a son of the late
A. L. Gibson, registrar of Huron, has
been appointed comptroller of the city
of Vancouver, B. O. The office is now
and of great responsibility. Mr. Gib-
son is a native of Wroxeter, but has
been a resident of Vancouver since
1888.
-It is estimated that the farmers of
Finch, the smallest township in the
Counties of Stormont, Glengarry, or
Dundas, will receive from $400,000 to
$150,000 for milk sent to cheese fac-
tories during the year 1905. There
aro sixteen cheese factories in the
township.
-A report comes that Archie Show -
felt of the 7th Kincardine, has' small-
pox. The family are quarantined,
and every effort is being made to keep
the disease from. spreading. It is sup-
posed that the disease was brought
from Manitoba, where Mr. Shewfelt
has interests.
- An Arkansas city man, who had
twice been , divorced, took his third
wife to the theatre recently. His two
earlier wives had become good friends,
and when the couple took their seats
the man looked around, and to his
consternation saw he had his three
wives in a row beside him.
-A Neosho county, Kansas man,
who was left. a widower with several
small children was criticised by his
neighbors for marrying again within
a few weeks after his bereavement.
In explanation he said : "Well, it's
jes' this way : I'm feedin' a extry lot
of pigs this fall an' I jes' couldn't look
after the youngsters an' the pigs
too."
--Nominations for Councillors for
the township of Carrick were held at
Mildmay, and just one roan more
than was required was put in nomina-
tion. To save the expense of an elec-
tion it - was decided that, John Lark
and Jacob Miller should toss a copper
to decide which should have a seat at
the hoard. This was agreed to, and
the copper was twirled. When it
came to rest J. Miller was a Council-
lor and Jno. Lark was retired to pri-
vate life.
-According to an estimate made by
the Eastern Ontario Dairymen's As-
sociation, there are over 201,000 farm-
ers in Canada sending milk to cheese
factories and creameries. In addition
to this there are thousands of farmers
sending milk to cities and disposing of
it in other ways, so that it is safe to
say that 225,000 people, in Canada are
directly interested in these two forms
of dairy. In Ontario alone there are
$175,000,000 invested in cows, lands,
factories, apparatus, etc., used for
dairying purposes.
Ethel, Ont., Jan. 4. -About 1.30
this morning fire broke out in John
McDonald's store in the Simpson
block here. Owing to the strong
wind it was impossible to save any of
the stock. The fire spread with such
rapidity that the whole block was
completely destroyed, The hardware
store of Krauter & Ritchie and the
barber shop and dwelling of W. F.
Heath were also completely consum-
ed. The cause of; the fire is still un-
known. The loss is estimated at
about twenty thousand dollars.
-The fire losses for the United
States and Canada during the
calendar year 1005, compiled by the
New York Journal of Commerce,
reached the sum of $175,157,800, which
is a larger amonnt than in any year in
the history of the country, except
those in which disastrous conflagra-
tions occurred, such as 1871, 1872, and
1001. Considering that there were no
very large fires during 1005 the total
loss is rather excessive, and is only to
be accounted for by increased valua-
tions of stocks destroyed and an un-
usual number of medium sized fires.
-During last week's sleet storm,
the railways had a difficult time
handling trains for twenty-four hours,
owing to wind, sleet and rain. Dur-
ing the night mires broke and poles
tumbled down across the track and
into the ditches all along the systems
both of the Grand Trunk and Cana-
dian Pacific, until the despatchers
were forced to call a halt until the
block system could be worked. They
appeared to suffer most in the east.
The C. P. R. had five utiles of wire
clown at one point, and eighteen
poles.
Sir Jas. Watson's Opinion.
lie says that the commonest of all
disorders, and one from which few
escape is catarrh, Sir James firmly
believes in local treatment, which is
best supplied by Catarrhozone. No
case of catarrh can exist where Catar-
rhozone is used ; it is a miracle work-
er, relieves almost instantly and cures
after other remedies fail. Other
treatments can't reach the diseased
parts Like Catarrhozone beeause it
goes to the source of the trouble along
with the air you breathe; Catarrho-
zone is free from cocaine, it leaves no
bad after•efreets, it is simply nature's
own cure. Accept no substitute for
Catarrhozone which alone east cure

A very pretty home wedding took
place at high noon, on Wednesday, at
the residence of Mr. Steel 0. Murdoch,

which has been in connection with
Watt's store for years, has been re-
moved to the store of J. W. Irwin,

There are certainly not many in
town who have remained as long in
one situation as Mr. W. Cnclinore,
"Bill" as be is familiarly called.
Should he live until April next he will
have put in 31 years of service with
Mr. Thos. McKenzie.
Stewart, the two-year-old son of
Geo. Taylor, accompanied his father

the blood to flow freely. The bird
tried several times to repeat the at-
tack and had to be driven away.

FISHES THAT ARE RACERS,
The Tarpon, Shari. and )$mek.rol Aro
the Speed Qltmmltionw,
Study of the speed of flsbea is mu"
barrassed by unfavorable difiiculti.ea,
It is not possible, as with birds, to set
up tall poles at intervals of it quarter
of a mile and, with the .bele of stop
watches, time thein as they •go by.
Nevertheless Investigation of the sub-
ject goes to show that the mackerel, if
not the champion racer of the briny
deep, comes pretty near to carrying oft
the Honors. Unquestionably it travels
sometimesu
as fs.asxi•
au express train
at high speed -say, at the rate of sixty
or possibly seventy miles an hour.
Other things being equal, the larger
the fish the faster it awims, just as the
huge steamship is able to travel at a
speed lnucb greater than the little har-
bor tug. Undoubtedly the energy em-
ployed by a fish of great size, such as
a thirty foot shark when traveling at
its best gait, is something trenaendous.
An ordinary tug, which represents a
maximum of energy in a minimum of
bulk, utilizes about 200 horsepower.
Of course it is only a guess, but it
would not seem to be over the mark
to suppose that a seventy foot whale
makes use of 500 horsepower when it
propels its huge bulk through the wa-
ter at a rate of thirty miles an hour.
A. whale, which is a mammal and not
a fish, might be compared to a freight
train if the shark is a cannon ball ex-
press, but it can beat the fastest ocean
greyhound in a speed contest.
12 there is a tali that can travel fast-
er than a shark it must be the tarpon,
which can probably "hit ger up" to the
tune of eighty miles an hour, if pressed
for time. Generally speaking, It may
be said that finny creatures which live
near the surface of the sea are swift
swimmers, as compared with those
that dwell in the depths. Thus the
cod, which is a deep water species, is
sluggish and would stand no show
at all in a race with the mackerel or
herring. 'These latter, which are dis-
tinctively pelagic, depeud for their liv-
ing upon their activity in pursuing
agile prey, and they must be quick in
their movements in order to escape
their own enemies.
If the mackerel were as big as a good
sized shark it would probably be the
speed champion of the ocean. No fish
Is better shaped for rapid going. Some
years aga a yacht builder In New
York constructed a sloop with a hull
patterned exactly after the underbody
of a Spanish mackerel. She was called
the Undine, and, if tradition does not
IIe, she never was beaten. Like the
fish After which she was modeled, she
had her greatest breadth of beam for-
ward of amidships --a decidedly novel
idea in boat building. One may say,
indeed, that all modern water craft
are more or less fishlike in their make-
up; yet, ou the whole, it is surprising
that marine architects have not striven
more earnestly than they have done
to obtain hints from nature's own 11-
lustrlltions of aquatic speed making
principles.
Why tie Disliked the Man.
I once Beard of a man who, tliscitss-
ing a name on the visiting list, said to
his wife, "You know perfectly well
that I don't like that man." "Don't
you think you are a little unreason-
able?" asked the wife. "Your dislike
arose because he click not answer a
letter you wrote him, and you found
afterward that the letter was hung up
ell summer in the pocket of your over-
coat and was never sent to him at all."
"Yes, I know that," was the rejoinder,
"but it,wasaso long before I found it
out that I couldn't overlook his rude-
ness, and I never forgave him, and I
don't believe I ever shall." There is
a goo.Vca1 of ill feeling in this world
that is without any firmer foundation.
-Printers' Ink.
The Cat.
A little English girl wrote the fol-
lowing essay on a cat: "The cat is a
square quadruped, and, as is custom-
ary with square quadrupeds, has its
legs at the four corners. If you want
to please this animal you must stroke
it on the back. If it is very much
pleased it sets Yip its tail quite stiff,
like a ruler, so that your hand cannot
get any farther. The cat is said to
have nine lives, but in this country it
seldom needs them all because of
Christianity."
Misfortunes Sometimes a Blessing.
However others may think of it, yet
1 take it ea a mercy that now and then
some clouds come between me and my
sun, and many times some troubles do
conceal my comforts, for I perceive if
1. should find too much friendship in
any inn in Ivy pilgrimage I should
soon forget my father's house and my
heritage. -Dr. Lucas.
A Divine Joy.
Suffering is doubtless as divinely ap-
paintetl as joy, while it is much more
influential es a disclpline of character.
It chastens and sweetens the nature,
teaches patience and resignation and
Promotes the deepest as well as the
most exalted thought.
