Clinton New Era, 1894-01-26, Page 10for hen n 1..0; in Au - wallow, rson, Moore, isses Moore, Porter, and A. Young. D.—A inueting of 'les was, held on Wei -al accounts sxitinication from er until the next ,an increase in the + •eenfel and necessary eve desks. —Tuesday evening while layingin front of the fall, a- : pier's horse became un- ageable, and strikiin a boy that d'in the road, the'^�uggy passed er hirn. It was at first thought that 'WO killed, but invistigation.shgrved hathis injuries were very slight. • TBEY`KNow HIM.—The Boston Post 't,4 `recent' date, thus alludes to a well- known Clintonian:—"Billy" Ransford pia man whom one meets about town continually. He is the secretary of the Military at 134 State street. He can sing a song or tell a story with the best ofthem, and has as wide an ac- quaintance as most men in Boston. AN OLD TIMER.—On the 9th inst., Mr J. C. McLagan, editor of the Van- couver, B, O., World, received many congratulations upon being spared to see the 40th anniversary of his appren- ticeship to the printing and publishing business. Mr MeLagan was indentur- ed on Monday, Jan. 9, 1854, in the fice of the Sentinel, Woodstock, and somewhere about the year 1860 or a Jit„ • little later, published a paper in Clin- ton. WORLD'S FAIR VIEWS. — To -night (Friday) in the town hall, will be given stereopticon views of the World's Fair, with a, rectors by Paul E. Greer. The e- „ttitvs r_present the leading features of" the Fair' and should be well worth see- .ing. Mr. "Budd" Barton is business `manager of the venture, and is a son f Mr Parton, of the old time firm of shcr & Barton, here. Theexhibition es here direct from Chicago. IISHIN( AHEAD.—"Jack" Cooper, st son of Mr W. Cooper, of town, is the able editor of several trade als in Toronto, is also filling the on of Secretae to the Canadian Association, grid is thus brought lose touch with' the eminent ers of public opinion," &c. He n be—in fact ,e, is already—one nfluential pre s men of the city, 11 yet attain a high position in diton therewith. Ho's McGuruE.—The members of the Clinton Gun Club would like to know who •'J. McGuire" is. At the Hamilton Gun Club tournament last week, some party who was doing some wretched scoring, gave,his name as J. McGuire, Clinton, thus throwing the onus for his bad shooting on the Clin- ton Club. As the Clinton Club was not represented 'at the tournament, its members are naturally anxious to 1 know who it was that was ashamed of ` his own shooting. CASH BUSINESM,—Our readers will notice in the advertisements of Cooper &.Co. and Rance & Spalding, that they have decided to do a strictly cash busi- ness. after the first of February. This, we believe, is a move in the right di- rection, and the sooner all business can be conducted on the same principle, the better it will be for all interested. We bespeak for our book and station- , ery dealers every success in their new departure, as in their business the sales, while numerous, are .mostly all small accounts,`and should be cash. THE Cosi.—The amount of money expended by the West Huron Temper- ante organization, in furthering the. • interests of the plebiscite, prior to the vote being taken, was certainly not very large. The total amount collect- ed was 5125.75, and of this amount only $102.18 was expended, the sum of $76.10 going to pay the expenses of lecturers, and the balance being for incidentals. This was certainly a mo- derate outlay. The amount expended in East Huron was even less, being somewhere about $80, but the Execu- tive there has a deficit ,instead'�of a surplus. - SIPPING NOTES.—R. Irwin Is ship- ,-ppingq large quantities of hay, also W. endmore. S. H. Smith shipped two cars of stock to Toronto. D. A. For- rester is shipping one car of tow to Chicago; he shipped one car to Bel- fast, Ireland, a few days ago. The London Guarantee Ace. 0o., through their agent, A. O. Pattison, handed Mr J. Joint of Si,. Helen's, a cheque -- for $6'l in pits uont of claim for a hrok• en hone; this is• a first class (1n., and it only costs a small amount to carry a few thousand dollars. W. Doherty & Co. made n. Inrge ship!). (Ant of organs to Montreal on Friday 1: -t. The G. T.

This recalls a little event that •occurred last summer, in which half -a -dozen Clintonians figured, but which , has never been in print, S iritualisin was being much talked about here, several persons were par- tial converts to the belief, and the stories they heard intensified their curiosity, if they did not produce con- viction. So half -a -dozen prominent and well-known Olintonians decided to go to London together and investigate the mysterious manifestations for themselves. They were not any of them believers in it, but professed that they were open to conviction, if results warranted it. All the preliminaries were arranged, and in a dimly -lighted room the seance proceeded. They saw spfirits all right, and conversed' with friends who were Said to be in the spirit world, (though yet alive) and in the course of the afternoon had more fun, to use their own expression, "than they could shake a stick at," but their conclusions concerning the reality of spiritualism would not be a very strong testimonial in its favor—quite the re- verse. If any one wants to know any- thing about spiritualism these parties —all public men—can give them em- s is pointers. h t' t jvOTES.—Dr 'H. MacKid, of Calgary, formerly of Clinton, has gone on a visit to the European hospitals, accom- panied by Mrs MacKid. Mr C. C. Rance is now able to get .around, after a severe and protracted illness. Mr A. J. Snell, formerly of Wingham, (and cousin of Jackson Bros., Clinton) but who has been connected with the Cleveland Dry Goods Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, as buyer and manager for the past seven years and a half, has resigned and accepted a similar position with the dry goods house of A. D. Meyer & Co., of the same city. The wife and family of Mr Jas. Kelly, (who left fcr Manitoba a few days ago) followed him last week. There will be no sitting of the Division Court this month.

Winter, superintendent of agencies for the Dominion Life, is spending the week with Mr R. D. Stanley, tpwn.agent of_the company. A monthly fair will be held in Clinton, on the 7th of February; as there is a good deal of stock for sale and there are likely to be a number of buyers present, the sale should be a success. 11Ir Geo. Westcott, of Hullett, has rented the house on William St, be- longing to Mr A. Knox, and 'will be- come a resident of town as soon as he winds up his farm business. Mrs Baulch, of Woodstock, is visiting her parents here, Mr and Mrs S. Davis. Mr Thos. Gibson, M. P. P., for East Huron, was in town for a short time on Tuesday; he looks just about as young and vigorous as he did many years ago, and is evidently good for many years of service yet in the ranks of the Liberals. Mr C. Graves, travel- ling passenger agent, G. T. R., was in town on Monday. Miss Lu White leaves this week on a visit to friends in Toronto. There was genial con- gratulation and hand -shaking among the forty -odd members of the County Council, who met at Clinton station on Tuesday morning, on their way to attend the January session.

Mr Gus Chant, of Toronto University, brother of Mr 11, B• Chant, has been chosen as one of the examiners in connection with the Educational Department, for the second time; this is quite an hon- orable and responsible position for so yonng a man to fill.
