That some of our old judges can-
not fallow an argument for more
than two hours is the complaint of
some lawyers. On behalf of the
ancient judges it is only fair to say
that if is not their own .,argument
which they cannot follow.
Gandhi refuses to talk while fast-
ing and we could wish that others
would do the same while dieting.

In a letter to a daily newspaper
the writer urges that every holiday
be held on the Monday nearest the
actual date. We make no objection
but would suggest that Good Friday
be observed on the preceding rather
than the following Monday, which is
a holiday anyway for teachers, bank-
ers and civil servants.

Pennsylvania , coal operators point

ket against the competition of Welsh

Many municipalities are asking
governments to relieve them of the
burden of relief as they are finan-

for the same reason are asking the
federal government to assume the
whole burden, but it, too, is financial-

in relief costs is indicated.

What Clinton was Doing in The Gay Nineties
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED DURING TR1a T.AST DE-
CADE OF THE OLD CENTURY?
From The News -Record, May 24, 1893 '
After the first •of June Clinton
merchants will close their stores at
8 p.m. except on Saturdays and days
preceding holidays.
This Applies to West Street Horse
Dealer: The man , who does right
only because he has to, would rather
work for the devil at the same price.
Different Figures: "Going out in
her figure" is the most amusing bit
of slang recently coined. Translat-
ed, it is. said, it means venturing
outdoors without any sort of wrap
or coat. (Gracious! we were scared
until we reaed that translation.)
Another Fair: This time it proves
to he a fair Fair. The News -Re-
cord congratulates Mr. James Fair.
Jr., on the addition to his household
yesterday morning of a daughter.
Emergency Call: Among the
Masonic breth•en.ivho attended ;the
funeral of the late James Rath in
East 'Wawanosh last Friday were
Messrs. W. J. Paisley, 0. S. Doan, D.
B. Kennedy, S. Spooner, J. Emerson
and J. Ingram. •
Another Race: Wbeelman are bei
corning more numerous. Those who
have just learned to -ride the "crit-
ter" have entered for a handicap
mile' dash on May 31st, at 7 p.m.,
sharp, as follows: J. W. niter 10 se-
conds; M. McTaggart, scratch; H. R,
S•tanbury 3 seconds; L Kennedy 2
seconds; N. Fair 2 seconds, The race
• will no doubt be one of the most in-
teresting of the season.
Black Measles: This type of dis-
ease is very dangerous. A. genuine
case :in Clinton created a flutter of
'excitement last weelt. Like all ser -
Mr: Benson Cox of the Circular
Town Fridayed in Clinton.
May Matromony: Elia, adopted
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. Kearns,
Stanley, was yesterday afternoon
married to Albert, eon of Mr. Jaynes
Nott of Tuekermith. The knot was
tied at the Ontario street parsonage
by Rev. Mr. Smyth. Miss Mary Nott
of the Dry'goods Palace, .sister of the
groom, and Mr. Hugh McConnell of
Tuckermith, assisted the bride and
groom. The bride was attired in a
complete fawn travelling suite, trim-
med with silk lace to match, and she
presented a charming appearance.
The estimable and happy couple left
on the evening train for Petrolia to
spend the moneymoon. On their re:
turn Mr. and Mrs. Nott will be ten-
dered a reception at Granton, their
home:

sold recently by Rev. J. Livingstone
of Listowel to Joe Hess, for a large
sum, was never taken away owing to
the continued illness of Mr. Hess;
last week Mr. W. Doherty became its
owner; it is a pretty colt, the .mak-
ings of a fast driver, and shows won-
derful speed.
Mr. Willson is fixing up the store,
the Brick Block, for Isis woolen fac-
tory and shop and is prepared to do
business in this line from this out;
bring your wool here.
Miss Mcliardy leaves in a few days
with a company of singers who are
going to make a tour from Winnipeg
to the Coast; her place as organist
of St. Paul's church will be takert
for the present by Mr. E. Hovey.
A little dog can cause considerable
annoyance if it wants to, as exper-
ienced in the North street church,
Goderich, on Sunday. A terrier
which had made its way into the
building set up u terrific howl as
soon as the organ started; two prom-
inent officials went forward to re-
move it but it was too nimble for
thein, and it danced around for a
few seconds, but came to grief by
bolting between the legs of one of
the officials, who instantly sat down
on it.
The new sprinkler started its
rounds on Monday.
There will be a race of round-shoul-
dered people in Canada soon if cyc-
lists do not straighten up when they
are riding.
Look Sharp : Intending visitors to
the World's Fair should be very par.
ticular about making friends with
other passengers on the way as it is
stated that there never were so many
sharpers travelling on the trains and
going into Chicago as at the present
time.
Hullett: About fifty guests, nearly
all being relatives of the bride, as-
sembled at ,the residence of Mr. J.
Webster on the 24th inst, the cause
of this assemblage being to witness
the marriage of his daughter, Eliza-
beth, to Mr. E. G. Saville of Clinton.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed by Mr. Hamilton of the Pres,
byterian church, Londesboro. The
bride was the recipient of an abun,
dance of costly and beautiful pre,
sents and both start out with the
goodwill and esteem of all.
ions matters an explanation was re-
quired. When the statement was
later rna.de that a ' colored girl had
the measles all fears were easily)
dispelled.
