A full description about the shape and style of Hats for this year would need a page, there being more variety in Hat styles than in previous years. The Soft Hat called by differeut names is selling well, Fedoras range in price from $1.00 to $3.00, the Homburg is the Wide Rim Soft, at 75t; to $3.00. ° A special feature of our Hat department is the size:; we alw'ay's have a good supply of "Large" sizes; any of these sizes always in stock 6i, 61, 6., 7, q, 7. 7 , 7 , 71 in a variety of Styles. a aekson Bros1, The Famous Hatters, Clothiers, &c.

Tan Hemel' Observer says :—Mr. Ross, of Clinton, was in town several days last week. Mr. Ross is well known throughout this section, as he has been doing business among bis friends for a number of years. A FRIENDLY CALLER.—Last, Monday morning THE NEWS RECORD had a pall from our old time friend and sup- porter, Mr. R. Howard, of Blyth. He was on bis way to Goderich to com- plete arrangements for the erection of a dwelling and store in the business centre of Blyth. ST.PAUL's CHURCH.—This week ser- vice will be held every evening, except Friday, in St. Paul's church. On Friday service will be held at 11 a. m. Next Sunday there will be early com- munion and prayer, the usual service at 11 a. m. and 7 p. in., and children's service at 2.30 p. m. SPRING.—Last Friday was the first day of spring. Rain and thunder and lightning came. Tho snow disappear- ed very rapidly and many fields wore green in a few hours. Drains could not carry off the great extra supply of water and es a consequence the cellars were filled and drains overtaxed. Frost came Friday night and the water subsided. A good warm rain and "moderate after heat will bring full fledged spring. So far the fall wheat has apparently not suffered seriously from frost. HIPPING.—At varione times THE NEWS-RECORD g has referred to the enormous shipments made by Cantelon Bros., frotn Clinton, of fruits, butter, eggs, &o. The value of moth a firm to "town and country is more than of the �_,,prdinary nature. New markets have "elan opened up by this firm in our own country to such an extent that enough cannot be bought locally to supply the demand. Lest year Caete- lon Bros. bought and shipped from Clinton over 45,000 pounds of butter, 6,000 barrels of apples and 2,000 baskets of small fruits. Thia year the firm will also handle eggs on an ex— tensive scale and have already shipped 2,500 dozen. Already they have sold and shipped this year over 5,000 pounds of roll butter. The firm's trade this year will likely be the larg est in its history. A SNAP.—The fatuous and reliable Rock Oil only TEN CENT'S, imperial gallon, at J']ARLAND I3nos. Tempi Topics. Miss Mloict.0 has returned to her duties at the dry -good Palade and will be found in charge of the dress and mantle department. AT the last meeting L. O. L. No, 710 passed a resolution expressing regret at the departure of Masers. J. and C. Connell for Dakota and cotnmendiug the young men to the kind considera• tion of all with whom they might come in coutact. Tura RIFLE.—John T. Lee, a mom. ber of the Huron Rifle Association, has challenged a team from Ilomesville to shoot against a town team over home ranges. The last match of the kind was held al llolnesville and our country cousins won. We have not learned whether or not the challenge has yet been accepted. SKATING RACES,—Ill the three mile open race at lleneall, time 11 minutes, A. May woo first and Wes. :Mora second prize. The two mile open race was wou iu 8 minutes by W. Young and Wes Moore. David Stewart cap• tured first in the two mile green race. There were a good number preser t from Clinton. Gnocen J. \V. InwINz ie all smiles these days. The cause will be learned on roferting to the birth notices in this issue. A daughter was added to his valuable posseasioue last Saturday. The "baby" at that time was ton years old, 80 that THE NEWS RECORD is not departing from the lines of propriety in congratulating Mr. and Mts. Irwin. Mother and child are doing well, \VAs HE A IIINeR?—At Woodstock P. M. Field imposed a find of $10 and costs on the proprietor of the O'Neill house for selling liquor to a minor. This case was adjourned from last week, and will be remembered as the one iustituted by Principal Bates of the College for selling liquor to a student. Tho Police Magistrate in giving judg- ment said that any one would take the student from his height and general appearance to bo of age, tut in couch ing the meaning of the phrase of sale to any person "apparently under the age of 21 years," be hold that the young man's birthday not happening until the 18th of May next, he must convict. Mr. Miller, who is an old Clintou boy, will appeal the case to a higher court. ST. PAUL'S.—Next Sunday being Easter St. Paul's church will,be decor• ated in honor of the event and the following will comprise the musical part of the service :— a/TINS.

Not by any meane. We would be sorry to think otherwise than that the Star held our Canadian lands to be euperior to the Yankee lands advertised in that paper. But to bo con- sistent our cotem should not lend ite columns to promote the sale to Can. adieus of Yankee lands. Tun NEWS - RECORD claims to be cousistent in picturing Canada as the best country under tho sun. \Ve have time and again refused the class of advertising— Yankee lands for sale—which invari- ably find a conspicuous place in the columns of our cotem. Again we would say to NEWS•RECORD readers, do not be deceived. Our own Canadian Northwest is the best place to bey land and settle in. THE MANITOBA HoTEL.••-The Western Britist(•Amer ican,publ ished at Chicago, thus refers to a one•tiwo Cliutonian:— \Ir. Samuel Grigg has secured a largo tract of land on Stony Island avenue, opposite the fair grounds, and has so arranged that a largo building is being erected for regular evangelistic work, while adjoining is a hotel giving ac comdation for from 600 to 800 guests under his management. The hotel is a four story building, 90 by 240, con- taining 300 guest chambers with solid oak furniture and excellent apartments throughout, the offices, parlors, rooms for reading, writing and dining be. ing unusually commodious. It will bo Mr. Grigg's object to make his house a home for Canadian people and he ex• tendo a cordial invitation to all, to make it their home, and also to make ueo of his rooms for meeting friends from all parts of the world. A register will bo kept for addresses of all visi- tors, so that they may be easily located. We venture to predict that one of the greatest successes of the Colombian Ex- position will he lir.

Heart, town, will be transferred to the Clintou branch. PORKERS.—Mr. A. Couch last Wed- nesday shipped eight fine live porkers to Mitchell. White & Son,, pork packers, were the purchasers. A pork factory in Clinton would certainly bo an advantage.. The expense of freight, slaughtering, curing, &c., is an itonl that out. citizens roust pay when this sante pork, cured, is placed ou their tables. ONTARIO S•i•naE1' METHODIST CHURCH.— The special services are still being continued in this church and with unabated interest ; in fart the interest seems to increase with every service. Very large congregations are in attendance every night, and a large num- ber have been led to begin a Christian life. Last week Rev. Dr. Willoughby, of Toronto, assisted the pastor for two nights, and Rev. Mr, Ayres, of Holmesville, also assisted in the services. This week the Rev. W. Torrance, of Goderich, is assisting in the good work, The services will be continued every evening this week. DEATH OF A FORMER RESiDENT.— Yester•day at Wighton, England, Henry Rransford paesed to his reward, aged 88 years. The deceaeed will be remembered by very early settlors as a resident of this section. He at one time, probably as far back as the thirties, resided at Stapleton and God- erich. Ho cane to this county with his family and bought considerable Canada Company land in the early days. ITe, we believe, was at one time treasurer of the county of Huron. The late henry Raneford was a highly respected English gentleman of means and a public spirited man. The ground on which St. Paul's church now stands Was at one tinie owned by the deceased and the building then on it alloted free of cost to all religious denominations for worship in early days. Two sons, Richard and John, have been residents of Clinton a great many years ; William, formerly of Clinton, is also a sun of the deceased. SAD DEATH.—The hand of Death is no respecter of i.ersons. The scythe reaps and rec.ps, warning all that old and young must sooner or later becom- mitted to the earth. Last Wednesday iu Mullett Jatnes McCauhey breathed his last. He was aged but 28 years, 3 months and 14 days, and leaves a young widow, formerly a Miss McConnell. Tho deceased had been ailing about two years and patiently and without a murmur bore his continuous euffer- ing. He had been confined to bed only a short time, that fell destroyer, consumption, being the cause of death. The late James McCaughey was an adherent of the Roman Catholic faith and a faithful member of St. Joseph's Church, Clinton. A man of integrity, a kind husband and good neighbor, his place would be hard to fill. The funeral took place on Friday to the R. C. cemetery, over 80 vehicles form ing the funeral cortege. Rev. Fr. West ofiioia'ed Mrs. McCaughey, deceased's mother and two brothers and one sister survive. Town 'Ponies Mm.ssRs. W. D.•RISM7Y At C•,. have ri- ceived word from R a V'(hi,.nt.
