Nothing short of a barrel of oysters will be enough to supply your friends, Mr Paisley, when you get back to town. • Mr E. W. Burley was laid up last week by hemorrhage of the lungs, but we are pleased to state that he is this week better. The following passengers were booked to Shoal Lake, Man., by A. O. Pattison, J. W, Moffat and D. Moffat and wife. Through the failure of Mr W. Regain, confectioner, Toronto, Mr' Walter Coats it likely to lose his situation as traveller. Mrs King, of Blyth, Mr Jno Reith and Mr Campbell, of Hensall, were in town this week taking out United States settler's certificates before going west. ' Dame rumor says that a certain -.widower in town will shortly again enter the state of matrimony with a lady of Streetsville. The undertaking is a steep owe. Mr Arthur Cook, who purposes erecting a brick house this year, is already preparing for the removal ••f the frame houses that stand at present on the property. Mr Jonathan Ellis, woolen manu- facturer, has been nominated to con- test South Norfolk, in the Liberal interest; he was at one time publisher of the Wingbam Times. Mr H. Stevens, assessor, has .com- menced his duties, and says he "won't allow a little thing like an election" to prevent him finishing up the assessment in apple pie order. Mr W. Robb left us a hen's egg which weighs over 4 oz. and. measures 8z7; this is the kind of eggs Mr Farrow promised hens would lay when the N.P. got into good working order. Mr Eli Bateman, formerly of Gode- rich township. but who has been running a stock farm at Silver Lake, Indiana, has moved to Bad Axe, Michigan, where he purposes resid- ing in future. Mr W. Herbison and wife left here on Tuesday, for Manitoba, where Mi Herbison takes charge of a creamery. He bas been a resident of this sec- tion for a good many years, but finds that he can do better west. Mr A. Gorrell, who has resided in this town for several years, and is one of the oldest residents of the county, expects shortly to move to Toronto, where he has a daughter residing. He has rented his house here to Mr Henry Hartt. The body of Miss Landers, daugh- ter Mr Landers, of the London road, Stanley, was interred in Clinton Cemetery, on Wednesday. She is the third or fourth member of the family that has died during a abort time, from consumption. Mr W C Searle is visiting friends down in Logan. A report was cur- rent that he had got lost in the Logan swamp, but this must be a yarn, for you can't get rid of W C in that way; he'd find his way out of any swamp with his hands tied behind hie back. Mr Miller, one of the owners of the Ophir Gold Mine, Thessalon, is visit- ing his sister here, Mrs Pearen. Mr Miller formerly resided at Blegrave, but was fortunate enough to leave that place some years ago, and is now one of the leading men of the Algoma district. BUILDING.—At a meeting of the members of the Baron Central Agri- cultural Society, on Wednesday, the plans for the contemplated enlarge- ment of the building were submitted, and work in connection therewith will be proceeded with at once. At a late meeting of the South Ox- ford Liberals, an interesting part of the proceedings was the presentation to Mr John Douglas, the venerable president of the Association, of a beautiful and costly silver tea set. Mr Dotiglas is the father of Miss Minnie Douglas, Clinton. NEwUPI ay.T-Mr gugb Moore has bought from Ale John Gibbinga the old woolen twill property, An t'7illiam. street, together with, a house and acre of land, getting the same at a bargain, As Boon an the n411 eau be put in eba$e Mr Moore Will commence business. COMMITTEE ROOMS...—The Conger, vatives have engaged the vacant hotel Qn Ontario St. known as "Kennedy's," to be used as a com- mittee room during the campaign. The Liberals have eecured Irwiu'R variant store oil Albert St. as their own. SUDDEN DEPARTURE.—A few days since people residing not over twelve miles from 'Clinton were surprised to hear that a certain farmer the owner of three hundred acres of land, with good brick house, and the father of a large family, had suddenly taken his departure, intending to return no more. He is now said to be working in British Columbia, and the cause of hie departure Is attributted to domes- tic trouble. BUSINESS CHANGE,—Messrs Tay- lor & Sons, who have conducted a successful branch store at Blyth for several years have disposed of their business there to Mr Scott, and have leased a store at Hensall, where they will at once open out, Mr Jacob Tay- lor having charge of the same. They are a reliable, enterprising firm, and the people of Hensall will find Mr Jacob Taylor a first-class fellow. SETTLED OUT OF COURT.—The other day a warrant was issued for the arrest of a young man named Potts, who had borrowed an overcoat and failed to return it; the com- plainant in the case withdrew the charge on defendant paying costs. Mr Cunningham, of Varna, laid in- formation against Mr Cook, of the same place, for assault and battery, arising out of a dog fight, and the case was to have been tried before Clinton magistrates on Monday, but the defendant settled it by payment of $3.25 costs, COMPLIMENTARY SUPPER.—Mr and Mrs F. J. Hall, who have been boarding at the Grand Union for some tie having concluded to start housekeeping, a complementary sup- per was tendered them on Wednes- day evening, about thirty sitting down thereat. Mr S. 5, Cooper occupied the chair, and a number of toasts were drank and briefly re- sponded to, among those speaking being Dr Turnbull, Dr McGregor, 0. Ballard, S. Weeks, W._Morrisonr J. Boy v:John' Irwin' `and others. During the evening the boarders presented Mrs Hall with a handsome hanging lamp, accompanied by an address. No LIGHT.—On Sunday night,and in fact every night since, the Ratten- bury St. Methodist church had to get along as best it could without the service of the electric light, and the street lamps were in the same condi- tion, the ctrcuit having been broken somewhere. Men were engaged in trying to locate it for several days, and at last found that it existed be- tween the Queen's Hotel and the light ori Ontario St. It will soon be in working older. The great differ- ence between the electric light and ordinary lamps becomes apparent when it is necessary to fall back on the latter. [The light has since been got to work] PRESS ASSOCIATION:=Election ex- citement to the contrary,notwith- standing,the meeting of the Canadian Press Association in Toronio,last Fri- day,was one of the beat held since its organization. Liberal and Conserva- tive editor alike met on a common platform, and discussed the different phiases of journalism—mechanical, mental and financial—and the very best of feeling prevailed throughout. A press banquet was held on Friday night, and the Hon. Oliver Mowat certainly expressed a truth in his address to the members, when he described it as "the finest collection of brains and good looking men the city had seen for some time." The Huron papers represented were the Wingham Times, Brussels 1?ost,Gode- rich Signal and NEW ERA. OMINOUS.—Thursday the Clinton delegation rig, bound for Dungannon and the Reform Convention, called at the Commercial to take mine host along. As it was startling ofl again one of our oboe merchants was seen hurrying along to get aboard. He "helloed." the bystanders "helloed" also. The rig started. The belated delegate got on the run. The more he "hallowed" at the retreating vehicle the faster the horses seemed to go. H lifted his "walkenfasts" as merrily as though he was keeping time to the most lively and objectionable terpsichorean music. But it was no go. He kept up the race until he saw the team disappear beyond the railroad crossing. The "Tories" who noticed the affair re- marked that this Grit delegate had got left about as badly as the Grit party would get left on the 5th of March.—News-Record. [Our cotem is entirely astray in its conclusions, though correct in its recital of facts. The gentleman in question simply hired another rig, and ''got tbar" on time. So, to follow out its own reasoning Mr Cameron will "get Char" all the same, and on time, too. —Ed NEW ERA.1 • LOCAL POLITICAL GOSSIP It was the town of Clinton that gave Porter his majority last time. We hope it will not do so this time. It is not at all likely that any one will be brought out in the South, in opposition to Mr McMillan, as such is hopeless. There are some very elaborate and picturesque cartoons being displayed around. They may be amusing to look at, but they won't affect a single vote. Here are the official majorities at the last election in thie county, and they may be of interest just now :— McMillan, 758. Porter 27. Dr. Mc- Donald, 61. Mr A. H.Manning and Mr Garrow. are this week holding public meetings in the northern part of the riding, in the interest of Mr Cameron, the Liberal candidate. Mr John McMillan is attending Mr Porter's meetings in the interest of Mr Cameron, and we venture the assertion that Mr Porter finds his company the warmest he has had for seise" titre, As a gentleman ;These sympathies are with. the Conservative. party remarked, "John McMillan is altogether too Many for :Porter." Did you -ever see the "Liberals in better spirits then they are now, or* better fighting humor? We never did, and dee know something about elections in this section, Mr Porter held his first meeting at. Holmeaville, on Friday night last; if his owls Needs consider that it was.a brilliant success, they may have all the opnsolation that it Words. 4 meeting, In the interests el the Liberal candidate, will be held in the town hall, on the evening of Fridayy, Feb. 27th, to be addressed by Mr CatnQmen and others; a big rally Is ex- pected. When canvassing at the last election Mr Porter promised that he would move to Clinton, if elected. We have not heard up to date, of him taking up his residence here. What yarn did he tell on Saturday last? Said a prominent politician the other day:—"I have attended the last two sessions of the Dominion Parlia- ment, have heard about all the de- bates that have taken place, and can say without any hesitation whatever that there was not a man in the house who could discuss the National Policy ae clearly, who had analized it as thoroughly, and who could point out its defects as effectively as Mr John McMillan. His arguments always were unanswerable," Dr. Sloan, of Blyth has issued an able address to the farmers of Huron, in which he shows clearly how the N. P. injures them ; and the great ad• vantages of the American market. He disposes of the loyalty cry, points out where economy in Dominion af- fairs would result in an immense sav- ing, and urges farmers to "strike for liberty" by dealing a blow to the - combines, corruptioniste, and monop- lies that have fattened at their ex• pensee. Church Work. Mr James Young will supply the pulpit of Rev W. Sperling, of Tees - water on Sunday next, Sacramental services will be held in Willis church on Sunday next, Rey R.Henderson, of Bayfield,preach- ingo preparatory sermons on Friday evening and Saturday morning ..pre- vious. The next regular private meeting of the WC Y P C A will be held on Monday evening, Miss Wilson will address the meeting, the subject being John Bunyan. All the mem- bers are requested to attend the meeting. On Sunday morning last, Rev Mr Craig preached a magnificent sermon on the power given by God, to man, to resist temptation, and we felt sorry for those whose seats were empty, wishing naturally that they could have had the benefit of it. ,If all professing Christians would go down on their knees every morning and thank God for the power he had given them to resist temptation then would be very little sin in Clinton.— COM. Some time ago it was decided to hold a Sabbath School and Church Worker's Copyention in Clinton, in eennection,itritb,. Methodist churches oteGoderichstria - hie was to have been held so me -4n March. Owing CO the electro ceming on at same time, the committee in charge, by unanimous agreement, decided to postpone the meetin t some time in September a Other papers will oblige by ing this 'tem. The amalgamation of the two Methodist congregations on Sunday, brought together a very large num- ber people. Rav Mr Ranton's ser- mon in Ontario street church, in the morning, was on "Christian perfec- tion," and he dealt with it in a manner showing- a clear conception of divine truth, and exceptional abil- •ty in its presentation. In the even - •ng he preached a powerful sermon on "character and destiny," in Rat- tenbury street church, to the largest congregation that ever assembled within its walls, every foot of space being utilized. Mr Renton is un- doubtedly a clever preacher, with the knack of driving home hie points at every blow. 'His sermon, in the town hall, on Sunday afternoon, was listen- ed to by an audience the like of which never before assembled in the hall, being composed entirely of persons of the male persuasion, of which about 400 were present. ANNUAL MEETING OE WILLIS CHURCH, CLINTON. — The annual meeting of the congregation of Willis church, Clinton, was held in the Lecture room of the church, on Thurs- day evening, the 12th inst., there being a very large attendance of members and adherents. Reports for the past year were presented from the Sabbath School, the Y. P. C. A., the Session, Women F. M. Society, Auditors and Trustees. Among other things the report from the Session stated that there were 135 families and 60 single persons in connection with the congregation. Communi- cants now on the roll 265, removed during the year 22, deaths 2, added 29.

The total ex- penditure (including payment of in- surance for next three years and for plans for gallery) $2441.27 leaving a balance on hand of -$152,92. The trustees reported that they were now in possession of completed plans for the gallery proposed to be built in the church, and that they were now in shape for further action. Mesbrs M. McMaggart and D. A. Forrester; retiring trustees, were re-elected for another term of three years, and Mr Jas Lindsay was elected trustee in the place of James Lendeaborough retiring, Messrs J. Scott and John McGarva were appointed arbitrators. At the close of the meeting the ladies of the congregation invited those present to partake of refreshments, which they had provided; the thanks of the meeting were given to the ladies for their kind invitation, and a short but very pleasant time was spent in social intercourse and in the refreshing of the inner man. The congregation is to be congratulated upon its happy and prosperous con- dition. —OPENED AT ---- STAPLE DEPARTMENT New Prints New Ginghams New Shirtings New Cottonades • White & GreyCottons New Table Linens New Towelings New Embroideries CORSET DEPARTMENT.
