Post Office, Clinton, march 2n1 1891 own nitro. • CHANGE. -The Commercial Hotel changes hands this week, Mr Watson having disposed of the same to Mr Schaffer, of Kippen. Mr Watton has been a good host, and will be missed in town. CONTRACT. -Mr S. S. Cooper hoe been awarded the contract for build- ing the new agricultural hall. Sam says it is going to be a dandy. Out of the four tenders received, there was only $16 difference. THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. - The English church in Clandeboye has purchased a splendid organ con- taining five sets of reeds, from Mr G. F. Oakes, organ dealer, of Clinton. The.. Bell. Co., of Guelph, placedan instrument in the church beside that of Mr Oakes', but the committee, after bearing the two, decided to buy the Oakes organ. MEETING. - Tne meeting in the town ball, on Friday evening last, in Mr Cameron's interest, was attended by the largest crowd that ever gather- ed within its walls, every inch of space being utilized. Mr D. A. For- reater was in the chair. Mr Cameron ep.o.e firat, _follow* d for one houqy Mr Hawkins, of Brantfcrd, who In turn was followed by Hon. G. W. Ross, and the fact that nearly all re- mained until 1I.30 showed the inte- rest manifested in the speeches. ENLARGED HALL ACCOMMODATION. -The very large crowd that gathered at the town halt on Friday evening last -in fact 011 several occasions lately -demonstrates clearly the ne• cessity of having larger ball accom• modation. While every inch of room was utilized on Friday, many were unable to got in. It would not cost a great deal to put in a gallery, using the landing that is at present known as "the band room," and it could ac- commodate a couple of hundred peo- ple. We believe that the council would be acting in line with the de- wire of the people, if it glade arrange- ments at once for itnppovements in this direction. A hall that will only seat, say 600, (though many more are put in when it is crowded) is not large enough to meet the require- ments of a town the size of Clinton., Let us have the ball enlarged , this season if possible. STATION NOTES. -Mrs Jacob Con- nell left here on Tuesday, for Pains- ville, .Ohio. Messrs Doherty & Co. shipped two car loads rof organs to Liverpool this week. " Mr. George i'ngtiam,' of Seatortb, Mrs Brown, of Hensall, and Mr McQuarrie, of Blyth, were in town this week, taking out settlers' certificates, prior to remov- ing to the west. Parties wishing settlers' certificates to the United States should call on A. 0. Pattison, U. S. Consul agent at Clinton, and save expenses of.going to Gedericb. Mrs S. Jones, who has been visiting her parents here for some time, re- turned to Dakota this -week. Five cars of barley were this week shipped from Brucefield, for the American market. The U.S. Consul Agent in town, Mr A. 0. Pattison, has issued fifty settlers' certificates since the agency was opened here; this will give some idea of the number who are migrating to the States. Parties, going west this spring should insure themselves against accidents; A. 0. Pattison represents a first class com• pany, and'they pay every time. CLINTON TOWN COUNCIL. - The regular meeting was held on Mon- day, on- d evening last. The Finance C mittee recommended payment of_ the following accounts :-0 Poirti, 65 etc; Evans Bros., for charity, $1.25; Currie Bros, wood -for charity, $15; Davis & Rowland, sundries, $1.80; J. Ridout, insurance, $14.80. Rent of hall. $10; of oi'ice, $10; of scales, $30,55. The auditors' report, as re- oeived was ordered to be published in the usual way. Mr Kennedy, chair- man, of the Property Committee, said that be ,had notified the Electric Light Copany of the intention to erect two new lights, had pointed out where they were to be erected, and they said the work would be proceed- ed with. Mr Doan, as chairman of the Charity Committee, said they had spent cdnsiderable time in looking up a suitable place for Miss White, and enumerated the different places avail- able. Mrs A. Taylor was granted use of part of the street, on which to place building material. A motion author- izing the purchase of a uniform for Constable Wheatly, at a cost not to exceed $30,was passed. Mr Andrewa, chairman of the Cemetery Committee, directed attention to the necessity of it new fence at the cemetery, hut said that Mr Churchill, who would have to build half of it, was in favor only of putting up a rail fence, which the committee did not approve of ; the matter, after thorough discussion, was referred to the committee, with power to act. ra.RktElRs' INSTITUTE, --••A meeting of the South Huron Partnere Insti- tute will be held at i3rucefield, on the 17th inst. Prot; Dean, of the Ontario Agricultural College, will be one of the speakers, of which there will be several.

SALE. -The sale of the effects of Mr Evans, Huron road, on Saturday, conducted by Auctioneer Dickinson, was attended by a large number of people. Young stock sold at good prices, but horses sold at what was considered low prices, a three year old entire colt selling for 875, and a four year old for $86. The thresher was not sold, and no bid was received upon the farm. OAKES ORGAN WORKS. -Mr 0. F. Oakes, the reliable organ dealer, of Clinton, has fitted up a splendid shop on Albert street, opposite Fair's mill office, and is busy building his splen- did organs therein. Mr Oakes had fitted up premises in Hayward's old carriage factory, but Mr Hayward having sold the premises necessitated the fitting up of another building. - The premises now occupied by Mr Oakes are perhaps the best he has had yet, being in the very business centre of Clinton. ON THE SICK LIST. -Just at pre• sent there are quite a number of peo- ple on the sick list. Mr P. B. Sibley spent a day in bed last week, but is all right again. Mrs Goodrich has been confined to the house for a cou- ple of weeks, and though improving, is not yet able to be out. Mrs Cal - hick, though not quite as ill as re- ported last week, is still in poor health. Mr Henry Young, is yet ill. Mr S. Castle, who hurt his foot about antonth ago, is still unable to do much.

Mies Lena Mason is still very Mrs Carline, after being onfined to her room for three weeks, is able to be out. A son of Mr W. H. Baer's is at present very low with inffammar tion of the lungs. Mr Donald Junor, of the Bayfield road, has been very poorly for several weeks, but is now getting well. Miss Swan, of the 16th con. Goderich Township, is down with a bad attack of erysipelas. LOCAL NOTES. -Saturday and Sun- day nights were two of the coldest experienced this season. It is said that Mr George Tedford will move his family to Chicago in the spring; be has a lucrative situation there. -- Mr James Keane was up at Gorrie last week, attending the funeral of a maiden aunt, who had reached the age of 94 years. Mr John Hannah, the well known creamery representa- tive, says the prospects for this sea- son's business is good. Mr Christo- pher Dale, sr., spoke at some meet- ings this week in the interest of Mr John McMillan; Mr Dale is a con- vert to Liberal principles. Mr John Stoneham, of this place, left on Tues- day last for Chicaeo,where he purposes working in future. According to a circular issued this week, a certain lady died in town on "March 1, 1991," we did not think we had got quite that far into the century. Cooper & Co. evidently expect business to boom - in a certain line this year, judging by the long string of baby carriages they got in last week. One of the old residents of the county, in the person of Mrs M. A. Cantelon, passed away on Sunday, at the age of 89 years. lir Kendall, of the G.T.R.. hae been transferred to Stratford, and Mr Dunford, of Brussels, takes his place. Mr J. D. Brown, of Chicago, paid a flying visit to his friends here last week, while on his way to the English markets. Another of our young men has followed the injunc- tion that "it is not good for man to be alone," and taken to,himself a life partner, Mr Thos. Robertson having been united last week in matrimony's bonds, with Miss Mary Walker; the young couple are well known, and have the best wishes of their friends for their future happiness. March came in yery quietly, but bitterly cold, and the spring-like weather an- ticipated by some has failed to arrive. Messrs J. Robertson, W. Beesley, H. Plumsteel, and others are attending the city markets this week. Mr Geo. McTaggart bas returned from Morris - burg, and expects to remain here. - Mr Thos Moon of Toronto, late of town, has been having a pretty hard time of it, being confined to bed for the past -three months, with typhoid fever, congestion of the lungs, and. inflammation of the sinews; be is just now able to be out of bed, but is not yet able to leave the house. Dr Turnbull bas rented the office of Dr Dowsley, further east on Rat- tenbury St., and will move there as eoon'as it is fitted up.

Mr Edge's ability as a speaker, eloquent in his delivery, and earnest in all that he undertakes, is too well known to require any recommendation, All are invited; admission free. On Sunday morning last Mr Day, of Toronto, gave a special address to the children connected with the Ont- ario Street Sabbath School, which was practical and interesting, which the older folks seemed to enjoy quite 90 much as the younger ones, whose Interest was maintained throughout. In the afternoon he also addressed the Sabbath School, His remarks in the evening were directed to the parents, the basis thereof being "Home Cul- ture." The services of the entire day were interesting and productive of good. The sum of $60,,vasked for on behalf of the funds of the school, was realized, a4La little_ _more, showing that the adults have the interests of the juniors at heart. Clinton Model School.
