ONLY A LIFETIME.—The wonderful
progress made in railways since the.
advent of the first "kettle on *heels"
in. England would lead to the belief
• that generations must have passed
since that time; but the .late Joseph
Whitehead, who died at Clinton last
month, was the first man who ever
fired a locomotive. He was cousin
of George Stephenson, and was a fire-
man for him on the memorable first
trip of "Locomotion" from Darlington'
to Stockton, on Sept. 27th, 1825. He
subsequently rose to be paymaster on
the road; which situation he left to be-
come a railway contractor, in which
. capacity he became so widely known in
Canada.—Galt Reporter.

NEW PosT OFFICE TALK. —Last
Thursday evening there was a meeting
of business men and citizens in the
council chamber. The.. Abject of the
meeting was to take initiatory steps
for the securing of a government post
office in Clinton. Mr. Wm. Dpherty
was elected to the chair and Mr. Wm.
Jackson secretary. The. Mayor, Reeve,
Deputy -Reeve and Councillors Plum-
mer, Armstrong and McKenzie *ere
among those present. The expressions
were unanimous that Clinton required
a new post office. Ex -Mayor McTag-
gart and W. Jackson were chosen and'
they named A. M. Todd a third as a
delegation to proceed to Ottawa and
press Clinton's claims. The party left
yesterday.
SOME TREE TALK.—In a town in
California it is reported that a'woman
was appointed to superintend the
planting of shade trees. The reason
must nave been that a man of that
taste could not be found. We are not
so badly situated for we have one man,
Mr- Searle, who is not afraid to express
his, views how shade trees should be
eared for. There are ,sdme men who
think their views are the only right
way of doing things. We have no
reason to doubt Mr. Searles opinion in
the• management of trees, as he has
shown for years the way he has kept
them around his property and his
neighbors, He has also said for years
that all street trees must be looked
after, pruned, and attended to by the
council as the Citizens will not do it.
We have no doubt his remarks on the
treatment of the trees in other towns
will have the same effect in our town.
Many trees will he destroyed if not
attended to when young and small.

NEWSPAPERS AND MEN.—The Luck -
now Sentinel has been changedfrom
the small.eight-page to large four-page
form and otherwise improved.—The
Galt ' reformer is now issued as an
evening paper and the number before Os
presents a very creditable appearance.
The Weekly will, of course, be con-
tinued.—The ,Millbrook Reporter has
been greatly improved by adopting the
more convenient four-page form.—The
Stratford Herald is the largest local
paper on our exchange,
SIDE WALKS.—Since 1858 Clinton
has in every respect undergone many
favorable changes. The other day we
were shown a plan of the sidewalks in
Clinton in 1858, thirty-six years ago
this month. The plans were executed
by H. A. Jones, C. E., and the con-
tract for the building of the walks was
awarded Mr. Chas. Whitehead, now
on a visit here from Brandon, Man.
They were the first ever built in Clin-
ton. The post office was then situate,
on Victoria Street, above where
Beatty's livery now stands.
LACROSSE.—We are pleased to no-
tice that the season of 1894 will not
pass without the Junior Dauntless
Lacrosse Club being heard from. The
manly sport deserves the recognition
and support of our people. Young
men must pass the summer months
and evenings in some way. Lacrosse,
whilethe game may appear somewhat
"rough," develops every muscle in the
body, a very desirable requirement of
the human race. Young Inen who are
tiedtomanuallabor tenhoursaday must
have exercise in the evenings and a day
of sport now and again. The future
of our grand Dominion depends to a
great extent on this. Give the boys
achance. And if you will,give the men
a chance. Health must mean certain
exercise, and the Junior Dauntless La-
crosse Club will have both. There was.
a largely attended meeting of the well-
wishers of .the Club at the Central
Hotel and the following officers were
elected for 1894 :—Hon. Pres., Wm.Jack-
son; Hon. Vice -Pres., Jno. T. Spooner ;
President, W. P Spalding ; Vice -Presi-
dent, R. Harry dead; Manager, H. W.
Ball ; Secy.-Treas., Frank W. Fair ;
Working Com., Jas. McRae, R. Twitch-
ell, and J. Larry Hanlon; Match Com.,
W. P. Spalding, Harry Read andW.H.
Ball. Season tickets are now on sale and
there should he little or no trouble in
disposing of a good number of them.
THE NORA CLENCH CONCERT.—The
music -going population of Clinton have
been on the tip -toe of excitement over
the proposed visit of Miss Nora Clench,
justly entitled to fame as the world's
most accomplished lady violinist. The
Ancient Order of Foresters, of which
Mr. J. D. Kilty is the local leader by
virtue of his office, deserved the recogni-
tion of our people. There was no un-
certainty about the genuineness of the
entertainment and the immense audi-
ence that seconded their efforts in be-
ing present was indeed highly satisfac-
tory. Capt. Rance presided and opened
the proceedings in Shakespearian
terms. The programme was lengthy,
fourteen numbers in all, and encores
were demanded in every case. The
local talent maintained their splendid
reputation and added greatly to the
success of the entertainment. While
the ability of all is well-known and
recognised, we must mention Mrs.
Hoover's first appearance on the stage
as a valued addition to Clinton in
musical circles. Miss Edna Curtis, of
Blyt11, is, an elocutionist of merit and a
gold medalist. The realistic way in
which she recited "Old Ace" and
several other numbers won for the lady
the hearty plandits of the audience.
Miss Clench, the Star, is certainly a
most wonderful violinist. Some of her
selections must be classed high, but all
were within the grasp of a Clinton
audience. When Miss Clench gave
"Home, Sweet Home," "Annie Laurie,"
&c., the audience seemed entranced;
neither pieces could have been more
natural or touching. In one number the
lady was twice encored and responded.
Miss Colvin, piano soloist, assisted
Miss Clench. The lady is a born
musician and masters the musical keys
with great ease and preciseness.
Everybody was satisfied with the
entertainment and the Foresters are to
be congratulated on their great success
in demonstrating that high-class enter-
tainments are appreciated. The pro-
gramme was as follows :

NEW YORK HATS. - -
This week we have opened out the vary latest styles that are out in New York
in LADIES AND OHILDRENS' STRAW HATS;
you should see these; THEY ARE THE NEWEST We shall replace all
that have been eold since the opening, with new and original designs. We
lay -special claim to novelity in styles, variety in patterns and moderation
in prices. We give a discount to all cash purohasee of Millinery and
owing to the immense and growing trade we do in this line,
we ara in a position to place before you ail assortment that cannot be
found elsewhere.
Hats and Bonnets made over into the leading
styles.
REMEMBER THE PLACE IS
NEW IRTS
and BONNETS. I
Our Millinery opening Saturday, evening was an unqualified
success.. Our display 9f Millinery this spring is very
beautiful—unequalled the best in town,the most stylish,
Was the -verdict of the n mbers who visited us Satur-
day afternoon and evening.
If you have not been able to get in why come at any time and
we will be glad to show you through.
A Special Feature.
It is an acknowledged fact that new styles always appear
earlier on the American side of the line than they do
here. Recognizing this fact Miss MACDONALD visited
the wholesale Millinery opening in Detroit, and there
secured styles and novelties in shapes and trimmings,
that cannot be got here. •These, we are confident, will
add to the attractiveness and tone of our stock ; they
will be found exclusively with ourselves, and ladies
wanting THE VERY NEWEST in fashionable Millinery,
will be able to get • it here.
In fixing prices we've remembered we are selling for cash only
and you'll find them lower, considerably lower than the
same qualities can be got for elsewhere.
Dress lIIaMng.
A customer made is a customer kept is the record of our
dressmaking department. We employ skilled labs
and turn out Stylish, Well made, perfect fittingsg r.
ments at moderate prices.
