CHANCE FOE SOME ONE.—Mr Horace
Newton, who for several years has
conducted a successful business at
Porter's Hill, is anxious to dispose of
the same and is offering it for sale.
This is a good chance for some one, as
the point is an excellent stand.
INCORPORATED.—Lettere of incor-
poration have been granted by the
Ontario Government, to the Clinton
Gun Club; with a capital stock of $500.
The following are the officers of the
Club:—Pres., G. Hinchley; Vice -Pres.,
C. Doherty. Directors, Jos. White-

STocx NOTES.—W, J. .Biggins re-
ports recent sales from Elmhurst
Farm as. follows:—Mr Robt. M. Ross,
of Brucefield, Ont., has purchased
Royal. Messenger=19147=an extra
good calf for both substance and quali-
ty, his dam is Matchless, of Elmhurst
Tenth=18159=of the far famed Match-
less family. Mr Paul Doig, of Gorrie,
Ont., has bought Village Victory
=19148=a good substantial calf, his
dam is Village Violet=18162=of the
well .Known Village Girl family, the

General Booth (54353) a Nonpareil bred
by Sylvester Campbell Kinellar, Aber-
deenshire, Scotland; he has two more
good ones for sale yet viz: Golden' ar
and General Promise, both red.
IN. THE WEST. — Mr Albert May,
formerly of Clinton, but now living in
Montana, in renewing his subscription
says:—"Your paper is a welcome visit-
or to our home every Tuesday even-
ing, and feel we cannot do without it.
Had I the time I would like to write
you a few letters about this great
country, but as we are so extremely
busy, having two large bands of sheep,
5; steers feeding, and :from 175 to 225
hogs all the time in our feed lots to
look after. We do a large wholesale
business of live stock and dressed
meats. Our winter has been very
pleasant and mild, no storms, no ice
put up yet; we look for spring weath-
er in a few days. We are well and
happy." [Write and send the letters]
A GREEK PLAY.—The Globe, in its
lengthy report of the Greek play of
Antigone, in 'Toronto last week, thus
refers to one part of it in which Rob.
Coats, of town, figured:—"Mention
should also he made of the two mess-
sengers and the prophet's boy, The
two former, Messrs Megan and Coats,
in their rapid utterance and realistic
acting out of the stories of which they
were the bearers, were excellent re-
presentations of the character of a mo-
dern messenger. To us, who expect a
messenger to tell his story in the few-
est possible words, the long speeches
of these messengers might seem tedi-
ous and unnatural until we call to
mind again that to the Greeks any ex-
cuse for making a long speech was
valid."
PERSONAL.—The Morden, Manitoba,
Herald, of last week, thus alludes to a
son of Mr Jas. Keane, of Clinton, who
is making a change owing, to the state
of his health:—"At the Morden House,
on Tuesday evening last, Mr and Mrs
Brown gave a supper in honor of Mr
Chas. Keane, zdho is about to depart
to the sunny clime of the South. It is
unnecessary to say that Mr Keane has
always been a great favorite among
the young people of the town of Mor-
den, of which he has been. a resident
for the space of eight years. After
ample justice had been done to the
good things provided by the hostess
of the evening, Mr John A. McIntyre
was called to the chair, and the toasts
were responded to in a right good and
royal manner, all ,present wishing him
success and prosperity during the time
of his absence from us."
THE APPLE TRADE.—A meeting of
apple exporters was held in Toronto
last week, to discuss matters relating
to the business. Messrs D. Cantelon
and P. Cook, of Clinton, being among
those present. An organization was
formed, to be known as the "Canadian
Apple Exporters," and Mr D. Cantelon
chosen as one of the Executive Com-
mittee. Commenting on the matter
the Toronto Globe says:—"The action
of the gentlemen interested in the ap-
ple trade who met on Wednesday, in
this city, is one that can be very heart-
ily commerded. The apple crop of
this Province might be made one of
the most valuable productions of the
soil. The quality of the fruit grown
here cannot be surpassed. It is, how-
ever, a delicate product, which re-
quires careful handling to bring it to
market in proper condition. An in-
dispensable qualification is good keep-
ing properties. Apples that have been
roughly handled, even although natur-
ally of the best keeping qualities, will
speedily isc rendered worthless by de-
cay. If the projected association can
secure the grading of apples so that a
purchaser in England or elsewhere
would know that a barrel marked and.o
No. 1 Ontario contained only prime Gilro•
fruit there would be a perfect revolu- McKi
tion in the apple -growing business. Orang
Men would then find it worth their W. G.
while to grow good fruit and have it who
picked conscientiously, and handled of Mr
carefully when picked. •A rigid in- H. Le

have been issued for the convenience
of subscribers, making a slight change
in numbers; there are. now 48 of these
instruments in use here, showing that
Clintoneople appreciate its conveni-
ences. It is intended next year to
make this line what is known as a
"metallic circuit" from •Stratford to
Goderich;the convenience of this is that
the vibrations of the wires are not
heard, as it sometimes happens now.

lar meeting heldwas on .Monday

rolled 244,girls 214—total 458. Ac-

MILITIA:—The Can Gazette of
a late issue contains full return of
the comparative efflci of the Cana-
dian militia, and the wing is the
standing of the 33rd Huron Battalion:
