NO APPEALS, --The town clerk in-
famous that the time for receiving
appeals against the Voters' List ex -
awed without a solitary appeal being
lodged with him.
PROPERTY CHANGE. — We under -
t and that Dr Gunn has purchased
the vacant lot owned by Mr John
,Taction, on . Huron St, opposite the
Commercial ..hotel, .and intends to
Bract an offiEe thereon.
PARALYTIC STROBE. ---On Friday
day last Mr Edmund Corbett sus-
tained a paralytic stroke which at
first it was feared would prove fatal,
but on Sunday he took a turn for the
better, and we are glad oil state that
he is now on a fair way of recovery.
TEACHERS' IN&TITIITE. — What
promises to be an interesting meeting
of teachers, will be the union meet.
ing of the East and West Huron
Teachers' Associations, to be held in
the public school, Clinton, on Thurs-
day and Friday, September 10 and
31. The program embraces subjects
of interest to the profession. ,
PROPOSED BIIILDINGI.—The leases
of the premises owned by Mr White-
head, on the corner of Ontario and
Albert Sts. expire, this fall and he
has fully decided to erect in place
thereof a fine• brick building, pro-
vided;no obstacles stand in the way,
' ub they did before. That the build-
ing will be a fine one, goes without
saying, for Mr Whitehead does noth-
ing by halves.
•MAIL MATTERS.—For, some time
past the mail to Varna and Bayfield
as been carried from this town, and
was apparently giving every satisfac-
tion, but a petition, emanating, we
are told,kfrom Seaforth, has been
circulated' at Bayfield and Varna,
askingthat the mail be carried by the
old route, that is, via Seaforth, and
we understand that a change in favor
thereof may be recommended by the
Inspector.
LACROSSE.—The Goderich Juniors
have filed a protest against the de-
cisions in the recent match at Clin-
ton by which they were defeated in
four etraight goals; as the game was
fairly won, they are not likely to
gain much by the protest. In the
Western Junior League, the Seaforth
Junior Beavers defeated the ,Junior
Dauntless of Clinton last Thursday.
This is the final game of the season,
and gives the Beavers the pennant.
FOR MANITOBA.—Mr Alex Gor-
reil, who has a large finanical inter-
est in Manitoba and the northwest,
left on a trip thereto on Tuesday.
Mr John Laeham, of Hullett, who is
"a bondholder" also •sent by the
same train. Mr Mills, son of John
,M111s, Hullett, went to see how he
would like the country. Mr and
Mrs Thos Jackson also (went on a
visit, and Mr Ephraim Butt went as
far as Pilot Mound to visit his sister,
Mrs James Gorrell.
SCHOOL TRUANTS.—At the last ses-
sion of the Ontario Government an act
was passed making attendance to
schools compu'sory on all children be-
tween the ages of8•and14 years;parents
who keep children at home, or persons
who employ them, if they should be
at school, are liable to a fine of $20.
The exemptions made are that if
children receive instruction at home;
are sick, or it is absolutely necessary
that they be employed. The act ap-
plies to all municipalities, and Coun-
cil boards are under the necessity of
appointing a truant officer, who shall
see that the act is enforced.
GONE POR HIS MAN.—Detective
Murray is now on the way to Portage
la Prairie for a prisoner named
Chambers, alias Gilkinson, whom
he will take to Goderich for trial on
a charge of shooting with intent to
kill. Last May Chambers burglariz-
ed the post office at Listowel. He
managed to leave town, but was
followed and in the Commercial
hotel, Clinton, en effort was made to
arrest him by Constable Robert Bal-
mier, of Listowel. Chambers shot
the constable twice and effected his
escape. Word was sent all over the
Dominion, and Chambers was finally
found at Postage la Prairie serving
a 60 days' sentence for faking. He
had been identified, and is behigheld
under a Government warrant for the
Ontario authorities. Quite a number
of people here are likely to be sum -
Moiled to identify the fellow, as they
had an opportunity of seeing him,

Church Notes.
Huron Presbytery will meet next
Tuesday.
Rev. Father McCabe, of Dublin,
Ont., will preach in the Catholic
church next Sunday eyenfiig.
Capt Cowan, from the Rescue
Home, London, conducted the ser-
vices in the Salvation Army here on
Sunday.
The Rev D. M. Ramsay was on
Tuesday inducted pastor of the Mount
Forest Presbyterian Church, under
the most auspicious and favorable
circumstances.—Guelph Mercury.
Rev J A Osborne, who has been
pastor of the Baptist church here
for several months, expects to leave
town about the end of September; he
is a zealous worker in the Lord's
vineyard; where his next field will be
he has no idea. '
Rev J W Shilton was the only
minister of town, who was in his
own pulpit all day Sunday. In
the Presbyterian church, Rev Mr
McMillan, of Seaforth, preached; in
St Paul's church, Rev Mr Robinson,
of Exeter; in Ontario St., D D Birks,
of Londesboro, in the morning and
Rev Mr Ayers in the evening; and
in the Baptist church, Mr N L
Holmes preached in the morning.
SOCIAL.—On Monday evening the
Y P S C E of Rattenbury St church
gave a free` social, which was for the
express purpose of members and
friends becoming better acquainted.
President McMath occupied the
chair and an interesting programe
was rendered, Not the least import-
ant part of which was the refresh-
ments served by the ladies. The
young people of Ontario St church
give a similar "at home" this (Fri-
day) evening.
The Kincardine Reporter thus al-
ludes to a former Clintonian:—Not-
withstanding that no previous public
intimation had been given, the fare-
well sermon preached by Rev Mr
Gray, in the Baptist church, on Sun-
day evening last, brought out a large
number from sister denominations
who wished to do honor to a gentle-
man who holds the entire respect and
good will of the people of Kincardine.
During his pastorate here, the writer
always found the Rev Mr Gray to be
an earnest, intelligent and energetic -
worker for the benefit and elevation
of the people. He is a man of great
force of character which he displayed
to advantage in the pulpit, and what-
ever he undertook to do in connection
with the church work he did it
thoroughly and well. Mr Gray has
accepted a call from a church near
St Thomas. The people ot Kincar-
dine are very sorry to lose Mr and
Mrs Gray. We wish them great
success in their new field of labor.
RETURNING TO W, t I; — Several
milliners who have lits n enjoying
their holidays with rel,?; ' es in town,
left this week to resume choir places,
with the commencement of the fall
trade:—Miss Nina Buchanan returns
to Newmarket; Miss Dolly Buchanan,
to Wallaceburg; Mies Grace Boles, to
Cookstown; Mies Lave has a place
in view.
TRAIN ACCOMMODATION. — The
morning train north, on the L. H.
and B., instead of stopping at Wing -
ham, as was its wont, will now run
through to Kincardine until the 31st
day of October, This is what has been
wanted for some time, as it gives the
travelling public north of Wingham
good train service. With this Lon-
don train running through pahsengers
will arrive at Kincardine two hours
sooner than the former connection and
then the train will leave Kincardine
in the afternoon, thus permitting the
passengers to remain at home about
four hours longer, and then get to
London, or any station along the L.
H. & D , just as soon as formerly, and
also giving good connections for or -
onto at Clintotl,

EESLEIPC
Among the purchases for this season was a line of Tweeds
that we bought at a big sacrifice, but of which we had
to take a large quantity and pay spot cash. When the
goods arrived last week we decided to make a lot of them
up in Pants and sell them for $2, which we are now doing.
Those who are regular buyers of this line will see a dif-
ference in this line to what we have sold before. They
are made with a double seat, have three pockets, and
altogether a better finish, and without a doubt they are
a big bargain. We are not making much stoney on
them, but we are bound to make this a leader that will
be the means of bringing people from a distance, and
give them something to remember us by.
We have now Pair of Boy's Knee Pants 85

We did intend saying something this week about our
ORDERED DEPARTMENT. There is such a lot of
decided new things in Suitings and Overcoatings, that it
would take too long to talk about them after so much
talk about our $2 Pants, but we think they are a bar-
gain, and could not help telling about them.
