A NEW INDUSTRY.—Last week Mr.
Willson, of the St. Thomas and Union
Woollen, Flour and Gristing Mills,
paid a visit to Clinton. The object of
his mission was to eeoure a suitable
location for a woollen mill store. He
was favorobly impressed with our town
and its surroundings. If the firm come
to Clinton they will likely locate in the
99 store next THE NEWS -RECORD office
for the extensive purchase of wool and
gale of woollen goods and yarns.
Cardin machines for custom work will
be put in, to be run by electricity.
Fanners for miles surrounding Clinton
would be pleased and benefitted in
having such a concern here, and there
is little doubt but that a custom card-
ing mill would prove an unqualified
success. Clinton certainly requires
such an industry.
A JEW TRAMP.—The other day a Jew
trampcalled at this office to sell writ-
ing paper and envelopes. He said he
had bought out the entire stationery
stock of Barber & Ellie, one of the
most extensive firms in the Dominion,
and that the firm had gone out of that
line of business. The tramp was simply
lying, but did not recognize that he
was in a place where his boldness
could be detected. And we did not
neglect to tell him that he was lying
and thatithe same lines of goods, of the
same quality, could be bought for less
money at either Robins' or Cooper's
book stores. Still he found purr
chasers in Clinton who would buy from
a Lying tramp and pay more money
than there is any necessity for. It
never pays to buy any line of goods
from these tramps. 1)ay after day the
public are being swindled and legiti-
mate business men Buffer the loss of
trade, that should come to them.
Patronize home men and always give
trampe the go by. People who do so
will as a rule be money in pocket.
RELIGIOUS PROGRESS.—Thirty"eight
persons were admitted into fellowship
with the Methodiiit church at the
Ontario St. church last Sabbath. As
the outcome of the recent special ser-
vices about sixty persons altogether
have been made aware of their derelic•
tion of duty in regard to God's
covenants with mankind, and have de-
termined, with His assistance, to take
a more active part in the affairs of the
church militant by buckling on the
armor of faith and with. God's grace in-
tending to conquer their own natural
sinfulness and no longer be a stumbling
block in the way of their fellowmen.
Two adults were baptized on the
occasion. The preacher, Rev. Mr.
Smythe, made appropriate remarks
concerning the duties of the new
recruits in the service of the cross, and
pointed out the adverse environments
which naturally qtr, . , t ., > li have
al 6 a very cogane , ti
ed them not to faint by the way. In
reference to the teetotal agitation at pres-
ent going on in the province, he scath-
ingly denounced the cowardly conduct
oft diose professing Christiane who saw
the gaunt spectre intemperance stalking
•through the land, and which could he
laid low if all would unite. But they,
seemed to lack the backbone necessary
to acombined attack on the insatiate
monster who, in spite of hie gauntness,
is devouring so many of our fellow
beings and making desolate the homes
of thousands. The year just closing
has been one of marked prosperity in
the work of this church.

GOOD WEIGHT.—William Wallace,
of Summerhill, doliveted°to S. Andrews
in Clinton on Monday five grade
steers. Two of them weighed 2,890
lbs., two 2,630, and one 1,400 lbs.
The five animals brought a handsome
.figure, the price of chotoe stock.
MR. \\TM, ELLIO'rT, of Porters Hill,
elivored this week to buyer Smith a

weighed 1505 lbs. Mr. Elliott also

bass and.muskallonge, June 16th. One
person is not allowed to take more
than 50 speckled or brook trout in a
single day, nor shall these fish in the
aggregate weigh more ahan 15 pounds,
nor a fiah less than five inches in
letfgth. l'he season in the Province
of Quebec opened for speckled trout
May let.
SWEET Mosta.—It was a fair sized,
claseical-and appreciative audience .that
greeted Mies Ma -lardy and her pupils
(assisted by Miss Miller and Mr. 'Jas.
Fax, of Toronto) ou Friday evening
last. The renditions were all above
the average and reflect great credit on
those concerned. It would be hyper-
critical to make comparisons. The
reporter, were he not a married man
and aware of the fact that "the hand
that rocks the cradle is the hand that
rules the world," would rather speak
about the beautiful picture presented
by the young ladies who graced the
stage with their presence than cast a
oynical reflection on their abilities as
votaries of the ort that made both
Mozart and Mendelssohn famous. The
piano duetts by Misses Ferran and
Irwin, Couch and Overberry, Dot Fair
and Sibley, Grant and Irwin were well
rendered, the ensemble playing being
almost perfect. And the solos by
Misses McCorvie, Dolly Fair, Mc -
Murchie, Ferran, and Mr. Holloway
were creditably preformed. The sing-
ing of Mise Miller was much:admired.
She is the possessor of a contralto voice
ofconsiderable power and sweetness.
The inimitable Fax with his funny
songs brought to a conclusion one of
the best concerts that it has been the
pleasure of Clintoniane to listen to for
a long time. Mise McHardy and her
pupils are certainly to be highly con-
gratulated.
VERY IMPORTANT.—Business is busi-
nese. If you have paid a single cent
to TILE NEWS -RECORD we always desire
to see that proper credit is given. We
are not infallible. Mistakes will occur
in the beet of regulated families. But
if they do occur we want to have them'
rectified. Look at the label on your
paper. The date is there. Is it right?
It should be and a bill has been sent
you for the amount. If you cannot
dispute it—and there are few who can
—it should be paid at once. Our put. -
pose is not to cheat or defraud in any
way. "The time has come 1 1" Look
at the .Jebel and respond. Postage
stamps are sold for hard cash only.
The authorities do not wait, postpone
or delay. The cash is the safeguard to
freedom. People who, honestly, owe a
dollar ortwo shoaid ptiy w thout being
+S .i,' . , ,ty,,altCllrl'•ytig,, r 8•
dollar or wp, or who can secure free
roading, cannot have this journal with-
out paying for it. The business of the
old firm must be wound up at an early
date, and if there is no other alterna-
tive, several accounts will be placed in
court without delay. No other notice
of thie nature will appear in print. It
is very important that the final warn-
ing -be heeded before extra expenses
are added to what should now be paid.
This notice is not intended for the great
msjorty of our readers, but for the few
who have failed to respond to the last
notice. "The time hae come." Make
no mistake. Again, the business of
the late firm must be wound up.

Mow TR4OK TALKED Or.—The Driv •
ing Park Association are talking of,
and we understand negotiating with
Mr. James Fair for the purchase of
several aeras of ground adjoining the
agricultural fair grounds for a hall
mile track. If bought the track will
at once be fitted for the fall stallion
rapes. The property is a deairable one
for the purpose. A better location
could not be procured.
'ANOTHER BANK. -The other day on
the train two outside gentlemen were
discussing matters_ of trade. One of
them said that a chartered bank ,(we
did not learn the name) would estab-
lish a branch in Clhaton. There is
certainly room at this central point for
for
such an institution. While we have
very good aervico now there is un-
doubtedly an opening. We notice
that a branch of the Dontiuioi Bank
has just been located at Seaforth..
What have our people to say 'or do in
the matter 4 The necessity of such an
institution has been talked of for many
years.
I.UMPY JAW,—It is well known that
animals with "lumpy jaw" are unfit for
food, and it is criminal to use them.
Their , milk as well as their flesh is
liable to convey the disease of cancer
tq human beings. Flesh of anitnale
with broken lege ave unfit for food,
for inflammation renders meat
dangerous. While it is not so serious
a crime as the other, it is a criminal
act to sell the meat of such. The flesh
of a mad steer, also, is certainly unfit
for food. The farmer selling a cancer-
ous animal may be lase criminal than
the butcher' buying it ; but there can
be no possible excuse for the butcher
who deliberately sells the flesh. The
sooner such parties are stamped out the
better for humauity.
ANOTHERQ CONCERT.—The I. 0.
Foresters, Clinton Lodge No. 470, will
give a grand concert in the town hall
on May 23rd, and have secured the
services of Mies llext, of whom the
Hamilton Spectator says :—"A great
treat was given to the Hamilton people
in association hall, when Miss Effie
Elaine Hext made her first appearance
here. She was ably assisted by Mrs.
Mackolcan, Miss Schumacher and D•
J. -0. Brion. Mies Hext greatly de-
lighted her audience, and has great
elocutionary abilities. Her selection
was good. Ben Hur, by special re-
quest was splendidly given. This
talented young lady has a bright future
before her and we hope to be able tokeep
her in Hamilton for some time. Her
poeings in Greek costume was good and
most interesting. The evening alto•
gather was a very enjoyable one."
CATTLE SHIPMENTS.—The beef mar
ket has been looking up somewhat.
Several car loads of export cattle were
shipped from Clinton on Monday by S.
Smith, of Clinton, and S. Andrews, of
Goderich. The price ranged from 4c.
to 5o. Some of the animals were per-
fect pictures, the quality being such as
could not be excelled the world over.
Mr. Smith's lot were bought from
Messrs. Wild, 2 head, weighing 2,240
lbs.; Lindsay, 3, 3,380 lbs.; Churchill,
10, 12,245 .lbs.; McPhail, yoke mam-
moth oxen, 3;360 lbs.; Snell & Sons, 6,
7,520 lbs.; Ball, 4, 4,980 lbs.; Taylor,
2, 2,600 lbs.; Fowler, 2, 2,700 lbs.;
Ball, 3, 4,18Q lbs.; Elliott,2, 3,230 lbs.;
Anderson, 1, 1,360 lbs. S. Andrews'
lot were made up, by Mesere, Hill, 3,
3,800 lbs.; Lindsay, 3, 3,970 lbs; 011er,
4, 4,670 lbs; Mason, I, 1,310 lbs,;
Strong, 4, 4,895 lbs.; Elliott, 8, 8,180
lbs.; Wallace, 5, 6,920 lbs.
AND THE WHOLE EARTH SHOOK.—
Last Saturday about 1.20 p. m: the in-
habitants of Stapleton and neighbor-
hood were suddenly thrown into a
state of excitement. The whole earth
and buildings and contents quivered
and shook. Mee workng. at the salt
block experienced the peculiar feeling.
Tho ground under them and the
several buildings in which they wore
trembled. The stoves and dishes in
the houses shook and rattled. The
shock was felt on Shipley's farm• in
the' barn and it ie stetted that'• the frame
:��w rk ereak.ed and the stone f 4ation
w.3'-�'�i`�iaiti��"�Sl�''"'$� ,9�rT��U1j'I`.<
can be seen. Everything seems to be
in the same position as before. One
theory is that there must have been a
"elide" or "cave" or drop of an im-
mense bed of rock many hundred feet
below the earth surface of the salt well.
It ie said that a second shook, milder
than the first, was felt about 4 o'clock
on Sunday morning. These statements
aro vouched for by reliable men on the
spot: However nothing acrione is
likely to occur. Canada is not a land
of earthquakes. In foreign countries
whole towns are frequently awallowed
up in the earth, but anything of the
kind there would be too cad to contain.

DEATH OF MRS. JAMES AIKENS.—
There died in Hullett last Thursday,
Catharine, wife of .James Aikens, aged
55 years. The deceased had been ail•

immediate cause of death. For a
year or more the deceased Buffered in,'

THE RETURN VISIT.—On Monday
evening about forty of the members of
the Epworth League of the Seaforth
Methodist church paid a return visit
to the League of the Ontario Street
Church. The visiting League gave a
very choice programme, coneistiug of
choruses, quarettes, duetts, solos,
instrumental selections and readings.
There was a very large attendance, the
epacious lecture room being crowded
to the doors. The room was vary
tastefully decorated for the occasion.
At the conclusion of the programme a
very hearty vote of thanks was tendered
to the visiting League, after which re•
freshments were served and a very
pleasant time spent in social intercourse.
It is hoped that similar vieita will take

ment $270.
There is considerable opp'eition between
thie village and Luckaow on the 24th' of

length of time ahead with her arrangements
and getting her bills out. u'e think it was
very unfriendly of our neighboring village
to create the opposition. As the bills of
both are out the public will see that while
prizes for athletic sports are much the same
in the racing, there is a vast difference.
Dungannon gives upwards of $200. for trot-
ting. Lueknow gives the smelt sum of $35.
Dungannon has. the track and Dungannon
will have the crowd, and our village
deserves to.
A great excitement was caused in the

was seriously hurt.
