Pant CORN. --We believe that one of the largest and finest fields of corn to be found in the county, is to be seen on thalami of'Mr Forrester. It is several wee in extent, and shows a luxuriant growth, Nox A CONTRIBUTOR.—We learn from Mr Hale that our informant was mistaken in supposing him to have been a contributor to the new diction- ary of Funk 4r Wagnalls. He is a satbscriber to the dictionary, and .has given a highopinion of its merits. AacIIDENTs.—Mr James Finch has been hardly able to vi'alk for several days, owing to a kick on the knew, from a cow. Creta Rumba'', ; daughter of Rev. M. C. Rurnball, of Morden, Man., (brother of Mrs James Ford) met witis an accident last Thursday afternoon. She was climbing a fence when she fell, dislocating her elbow. 11':PORTED DEAD.—On Tuesday a Toronto newspaper reported the death of Mr J. R. Miller, of the law firm of Miller and Duncan. The report, fortu- nately, was incorrect. Mr Miller was seriously i11 for some weeks, but his condition took a turn for the better on Wednesday. He is a former West Hu- ron School Inspector, and a brother of Mr R. K. Miller, the clerk of West Wa- . wanosh. ANOTHER POISONED ARM.—Mr S. Davis has been carrying around a dis- abled arm for a few days. In some unknown manner he got it poisoned presumablyfrom poison ivy—and it swelled so much and became so pain- ful that it was necessary to consult a doctor. No serious results are antici- pated. and he expects that it will be all right in a day or two. CAMPERS. --Quite a number of Clin- •tonians are still camping on the lake shore, mainly at Burke's. The family of Mr George Swallow, after several weeks' pleasure there, have returned to town. Mr Robert Coats, who was camping near Bayfield, has also return- ed. The family ot Mr Hoover did not get out last week, as intended, owing to the illness of one of the children. DEATH.—The Carleton Place Herald thus alludes to the death of Mrs Walter Manning's father: --After a lingering illness Mr James Gemmill, jr., passed away last Sabbath, aged 58 years. De- ceased was a son of Mr James Gemmill, Bridge street, and although of a quiet disposition wad well known to our old- er citizens, He leaves a wife, two sons, and two daughters, who have the sym- pathy of many friends in their sorrow. • Is LABOR DAY A SCHOOL HOLIDAY? No:—The High, Public and Separate School holidays not included in the usual midsummer and Christmas va- cations are Good Friday, Easter Mon- day, all Saturdays, any local municip- al holiday, Dominion or Provincial Public Fast or Thanksgiving days and the anniversary of the Queen's birth- day. [From Departmental Regula- tions.] BUSINESS CHANGE.—Messrs H. E. & F. R. Hodgens have bought the stock belonging to the Estate late J. Hod - gene, and to -morrow open the business under the name of Hodgens Bros.— The boys are too well known to requir e an' introduction at our hands, and as they have ample experience, and -the entire confidence of the public, they should do well. That they may do so is, we are sure, the wish of their many friends. FIFTH CLASS.—For some years there has been an increasing demand for a Fifth Class to take up Public School Leaving work. At the meeting of the School Board, Monday evening, it was decided to introduce the class into the school, so that the pupils who have passed the entrance examinations, or who have failed in doing so by a few maiks, may remain at the PublicSchool for another year or two, and be afford- ed the opportunity of taking up this work. Pupils who enter this class mutt be in attendance on the opening of school, August 28th. PUBLrc SCHOOL. — At the regular meeting of the Board on Monday even- ing, it was decided to introduce 5th Form work, to commence with 'next term. Mrs Ross tendered her resigna- tion, which was accepted, and Miss Murch, of Holmesville, engaged in her place for the model term, at a salary of WOO. The retirement of Mrs Ross is due to illness in her family, and is much to be regretted, as she is a most thorough and efficient teacher; her btc- cessur, however. is a young lady of ex- perience and ability. GOING TO WOODSTOCK.—Mr D. B. Calbick, of Goderich, formerly of Clin- ton, has received a responsible position in Woodstock, as superintendent of the undertaking department of a large establishment in that place. There were nearly 70 applicants for the position, which carries with it a good salary. Mr Calbick is a first class practical man for business of this nature, thoroughly efficient and reliable, and will make a good, useful citizen. The heavy loss sustained by him, ,by fire, last spring, was a serious set -back, and his many friends wish him all the prosperity possible. THE COLLEGIATE.—J. W. Treleaven, $.A., who has been engaged as Classi- cal Master, of the Collegiate Institute, to succeed Mr Codmbs, is a former pu- pil of Clinton High School, having ma- triculated from bere in 1887. He is an honor graduate in classics, of Toronto University, of the class of '91, and passed the School of Pedagogy exami- nation the same year. He has since been engaged in teaching classics in Listowel High School, so that he comes tt> us with both high scholarship and ample ex erience. The school will open on Monday,pAug. 28th, and is to he Congratulated upon having such ex- cellent teachers in all departments, 10,a Taa''1 EBT—The-following p�ae_ sengers, who Left on the Manitoba, x- cuniion, Tuesday last, .sere ticketed h , Jackscn town agent, G.

NOTES.—On the occasion of nearly every thunder storm the lightning in- jures telephone connection at the cen- tral office, and Friday's storm was no exception to the rule, as quite a num- ber were burned out; if some inventive genius can produce something that will prevent this, there is a fortune in store for him.

One word in the foregoing para- graph strikes us as being a word full of mean- ing. , The word '`details." It. is attention to details that go to make up the artistic garments known to the trade as our $7 and $10 ready for use Suits. The details of buying in the first place; The detaiis of cutting and making in the second; The details of giving theso Suits to the public at r:gllt prices, in the third, have produced a value in Men's Suits the like of which we profess, from an exact knowledge of the market, is not shown in western Ontario.
