Government Annuities It is too bad that 'every young man in the town of Clinton was not present at the interesting and intellectual lec- ture given Tuesdays evening in the town hall by Dr. Samson, of Windsor, Lecturer-in.'hief on the Government Annuities. The speaker had a very de lightful way of addressing an audience and was very interesting. The atten= dance was very poor, there being just' exactly fourteen there. Mayor Taylor was in the chair. The lecturer stated that when young you could depositso much every week and when you. stop depositing the money would keep on drawing 4 per eent. compound interest and then when you came to a certain age you get so much a year to live comfortably for the rest of your life, and in case of death the money geed to ,:your! wife or children. The speaker pointed out the great. number of fine old men who are in the poor 1iousss of the country, and why ? Because they had not studied the lesson of thrift when young, It is hard to think of men who have done a lot for this colon. try passing away their Last days in the poor house. There are niiflions of young men wanted in out great west, but there are thousands of young loon w ohhavehtlearned the lesson of thrift Theooul man Whoo fs thrifty andtr Y - ing tadvance in this worldis the map r neededcounty. elle to make a rest } lecturer urged that boys be taught thrift, r .. ...:'li't.. , L.t a Just 15 Dozens Of Eggs Last Sundt.y.being Easter, thb in- matesat the House of Refage had a special allowance that day and was served with eggs. ,.It just took 15 dozens to go around allowing two for each.

To. the Editor of the New Era Now that the Springtime is arriving it is every interesting to look out on the bright mornings to see the wonders that nature is working iu the green lawns and the garden, and to behold the speed with which my neighbors chickens can make a mess of every thing in sight. If there is any thing which calls for suppression. of temper and the strenuous practice of right- eousness generally, it mustbe thesight of a lot of hens belonging to other people strolling about your yard and digging up your last fall planting and making themselves familiar with garden.

The Jackson 111118, Co.. From the annual report of the Odd. erieh Board of Trade we clip the fol- lowing which refers to a branch of the Jackson Mfg'Co.,of Clinton:—This company, whose specialty is the maim facturing of boys' knickers and child- ren's garments, reports the past year an' exceedingly satisfactory one, not. Withstanding they were delayed by putting in DOW machinety and from other causes wh}eh entailed a con- siderable loss of time. Their output was the largest of their history and the indications, so far as the present year's business is concerned, seem to ensure even a much larger volume of trade for 19I0. Indeed their past ex perience and present anticipations for further '"trade are exceedingly satis- factory, They now employ about 60 h ads and .their payroll aggregates s between .fourteenand fifteen thous- and o n andollas a;year. The class of labor r employed, meetly eenlale held and the wages paid make a very worth] dustry for einy community, A New Law Thenew bread statute comes into effect on July 1. It provides for pound and a half and three pound loaves of or dinary bread and for "small bread" in loaves of not more than 12ounces. Our. Store Windows 'A great advance has neen made in windowdressing in the 'town of Clin- ton during the hast couple of seasons. The dry goods fronts in the town to- day wilt compare very favorably with anything in the province outside -of Toronto. And the advance made in the dry goods line 'has stimulated many if not all the other branches of tradewith the tesult that our drug stores, stationers, grocery stores, con- fectioner s, jewelry shops, fancy goods ate -ores, hardware and bort and shoe houses all have attractive windows.

Here Is Something Good Another special musical event isin store.for Clinton, in theappearance of the Balrnoral Concert Company at the Town Hall on Tuesdav,'Anril '5th. under the au.piees of the Women's Association of Willis Church. This comnany, a hick comes direct from Scotland, includes such euiinent artists as George Neil, Scntian3's peerless tenor; Ruby Seath Grant, "Scotland's sweetest soprano;" Elsie Dixon Crelig,:' an inimitable entertainer and .A Gil- mous, pianist. r st. This ill be a splendid opportunity for the people of Clinton and vicinity and no doubt a lame house will greet the entertainers. Good Friday Concert The Concert under the auspices of the Boys' Association was not -a- financial success, even though the company scored heavily in the foe or of the audience present. For singers they are hard to heat and gage a pro- gram that was enjoyed by all. Mr Hetherington the tenor, was unable to be present owing to sickness and the other three of the Manchester Quartette gave their program 'com- piete and a duet in place of a . solo for the tenor. Mr .Lethbridge as solo for the tenor. Mr Lethbridge as solo pianist and accompanist for the sing- ers and their solos, delighted the audience with his solos•e,nd gave good help to the soloists, In the trios, the singers were • unaccompanied. The only number on the program which seemed out of place was the comic.? singer. Elis songs did not stamp him CENTRAL STRATFORD.
