SEPT. 15, 1893 •'•�•��xewwm�ewe,ma¢y,r,asR�7apA t . . giTEEMZE A lack of proper appreciation of public patronage is a fatal mistake by many business men. After years of strenuous effort to bring a business around them they have neglected it and subsided with a state of false security, imagining that reverses will never come and that the business will run alone. By -and -bye they wake up to the fact, that like Jonah's Gourd, their business has withered and that it is found impossible t.a revive it. We feel that the customers are our support and that Eternal Vigilance is the price to be paid for success. We assure our friends that we appreciate the patronage bestowed upon us and while we are grateful for past and present success, a future period must be considered, namely : the Fall and Winter of 1893-94, caul for This our preparations are commen- surate to the anticipated demands. The unswerving confidence placed in us by our customers has never been betrayed and we are resolved it never shall, CL Wo have been so long acknowledged as the Loading Clothing House of Brussels that it seems almost a work of superer- ogation to fortify our broad claim of superiority. The most convincing proof that our Clothing Department possesses great merit is the immense patronage it receives from judicious buyers hailing from all sections of the County. Our facilities for obtaining and our practical knowledge of the goods required enable us to out -distance all competitors. ' RNISHINO DEPART `,,.bNT. This department is one of the most attractive in our stjre, it is not only the new goods that attract at- tention but the st'yles, qualities and prices which awaken interest. It is our aim to have everything usually kept in a first-class Mens' Furnishing Store. DRESS GOODS AND MANTLE CLOTHS. We are showing many new Designs. The Newest Goods on the Market.

McNaugh- ton, Reeve of Brace township, was nominated a candidate for the boring election for the Local house. Panics Blsor ol: a health is of such a precarious character that fears are en- tertained that he will not recover. He has been a notable man and would be greatly missed in Germany. Hour Buba received a very emphaEie °heck from the Hones of Lords, who re- fused to ratify the Iaw making of the Gladstone Governmenb. There is a probability that Mr. Gladstone will go to the people and have their opinion ex- pressed on the matter. Pnornssoa Snnw, whose departure from the Ontario Agricultural College has been looked for, because of his friction with the President of that institution, has secured a new position. He goes to the State of Minnesota, where he has secured the Professorship of Animal Iluebaudry in the State Agricultural College. In a week's sojourn in Chicago we did nob meet a drunken man; see an arrest, nor hear an oath, although ono day there was said to be an attendance of 240,000 at the World's Pair. Chicago is like every other large city, however; and if a person is searebing for dives, dens, &o., he oah find any quantity of them, so we were told, teohnioal points, to override the advice of three such distinguished men. He therefore felt it necessary for him to adhere to the dooision already given. B..rigtowel. Chas. Wilson is again in possession of the hotel at the station. Rev. Mr. Morison has returned home after his holidays to resume his pastoral duties. J. A. Hacking, town ticket agent G. T. R., reports the sale of forty-two tickets to Chicago last week.

The engine house will bo built of stone, the other buildings of brick, with stone foundations, and all will have fire proof roofing. The contract is to be oompleted by the 16th of November. The many friends in town of John 111o• Kenzie, merchant tailor of Guelph, formerly of Listowel, were exceedingly pained to learn of the accident which be - fel that gentleman while attempting to board a trolley oar at the corner of King and Simeoe streets, Toronto, one morning last week. Mr. McKenzie obanoed to be on the wrong side of the oar and finding that he was unable to get around to the other side in time he attempted to climb aboard between the motor oar and the trailer. In doing so he failed and fell in such a position that the trailer ran over his arm, crushing it above the elbow. The injured man was taken into a drug store and attended to until the ambulance arrived to take him to the hospital. The injured arm, we understand, had to be amputated. Thursday morning of last week a serious accident 0000rred at the G. etatiou in this town by which three persons were injured, one of them per- haps fatally.

Mrs. Sturgeon had five ribs broken and her shoulder dislocated. Mrs. 13alpenny had her knee cap split nd was injured about the head.

Iirnnuux GAnntina late in the afternoon s of Saturday stated that the Board of Agriculture, in dealing with the question fo 01 removing the embargo on Canadian cattle, would have to act on the advice of a the three eminent veterinary experts who had reported on the matter.

The racing was good, especially on the second day and gave good satisfaction. The management were particularly Dom. plimnnted by the horsemen on the state of the brook, which was level and fast. Moro than one of the drivers said it was as nice a half -mile traok as they had ever driven around. In the second race, Ax- tell hi the third heat reduoed the track record to 2.20, being hotly pursued by Bay Fly, who had taken the first two heats. There were four starters in the first race, the2.45 Mass, and Colonel S. and Lord Ferguson finished the first heat together. They are both good horses and neither of them had a mark and the drivers did not either of them appear to be desirous of getting into the list alt at once and did nob drive them out down the stretch. The Arthur horse, Harry Caldwell, was also a green horse and will make a good one. After the first heat Ferguson was not on his beet behaviour and took third plaoe. Summary ;— Colonel 5.,g. 0„ J.
