Walker, who was plastering the new dining room at the Hotel Clarendon, was on a ladder eight feet from the floor last Wednes- day and overreached, losing his bal- ance. He fell backwards to the floor and received a wound in the back of his head, but not of a serious nature. WE MOVED THE MOTION A YEAR .AGO -And' now the Brussels Post seconds it as follows :-"The Post has much pleasure in nominating Arch. McMurchie, Reeve of Clinton, for the Warden's chair in the year 1895. Mr. McMurchie is an old and worthy member who has rendered excellent service as R. Co. Councillor and the Wardenshi'p is an honor he is well art ing of." FANCY DRESS CARNIVAL. -The first fancy dress carnival of the season will be held in the Clinton Palace Skating Rink to -morrow (Thursday) evening. There will he a good number of prizes (which may be seen at Rance and Spalding's) for fancy and comic cos- tumes. The popular Clinton Town Band will be in attendance. Competi- tors will have the ice from 8 to 9 o'clock, when the general public will be allow- ed on. The ice promises to be in ex- cellent condition. DANGER AND NUISANCE. -The other week THE NEWS -RECORD called at- tention to the dangerous habit or school children hanging on sleighs. As far as we are aware no steps have been taken to abate the nuisance ; if there has it has not been effective. The town and school authorities should act promptly in the premises. We do not believe in the principle of locking the stable door after the horse is stolen. =After some innocent child is mangled or killed is not the proper time to act. Steps 'should be taken at once. VETERINARY MEETING. -The annual meeting of the - Huron Veterinary Medical Association was held in Clin- ton on the 9th inst. in the town hall. The following members of the profes- sion in this county were present: - Messrs. McIntosh, Blackall, Walker, €Lark, Howson, Wilson, Golley, Grieve, Gibb and McGregor. The following ., gentlemen were elected officers for the 1 r: -Mr. Clark, President; Mr. Gol- t'di'c@4tas. ; Mr. Walker, Secy.; -e. Blackall, Tt asurer. Mr. Blackall laced before the Atsociati ni a veryin- teresting specimen of Cerebral hemor- rage showing two large clots which had formed at the base of the brain, cause- ing the death of the patient. A lengthy discussion ofothis form of brain lesion followed, se oral cases of abscess in the craniel cavity being cited. Mr. Walk- er also placed before the Association two very interesting specimens of den- tigerous cyst; one contained seven teeth and was removed by hire from' the ear of a three months old foal ; the other contained two teeth and was re- moved from the ear of a four year old snare. The treasurer reported the finances of the Association in a flour- ishing condition. VERY SAD DEATH. -Last week we mentioned the severe illness of Robbie Perryman, son of Mayor Holmes. The little sufferer was relieved by death Iast Wednesday, aged 12 years and two months. The case is one of pecu- liar sadness. Not long since the boy fell on a nail and slightly wounded his knee. The wound was promptly attended to and healed up. Short- ly afterward blood poisoning set in, the first symptons appear- ing in the heel of the foot. The boy suffered intensely for a week or so, despite skilled medical treatment and careful nursing. The funeral took place to Clinton cemetery on Friday and was very large. The casket was literally covered with floral tributes, among them being to beautiful wreath from his schoolfnates bearing his init- ials, ''R. P. H.," which we understand was ser..red from London. The Mayor, Mrs. Holmes and family have the un- stinted sympathy of all classes of peo- ple in their sad and severe affliction. I'HE NEws REronD shares the general sorrow at, the going out of such a bright and tender young life. PRESENTATION -The other day St Agnes' Guild and the Sunday School Teechersof St. Paul's Church presented the rector, Rev. J. IJ, end Mrs. Marnewith a handsome silver Nutter dish and fruit dish, as a mark of their esteem and affection. A Goon RECORD BROKEN. -The Galt Reformer says: -"THE RURON NEWS - RECORD, Clinton, has broken the re- cord for a local weekly newspaper, a recent i»sue containing no less than- 24 pages. Such enterprise, on the part of the publisher, deserves the hearty support of his readers as well as of the merchants and business men of Clin- ton . " WEST RIDING CONSERVATIVE MEET- ING. -The annual meeting of the West RidingConservative Association will be helin the town hall, Clinton, on Friday, January 18th, commending at 2.30 p. m. This will be the first an- nual meeting held here of late years and there should bo a full represent- ation from every pollingdivision. Election of officers and oter business will be disposed of. COUNTY ORANGE MEETING. -South Huron County Loyal Orange Lodge will meet in the Orapge Hall, Exeter, on Tuesday, February 5th, at 11 a. tn. All officers within the jurisdiction (in- cluding Past Masters) from Master to first committeeman, inclusive, should be present. The meeting will be one of the most important in the history of the Order. Let there be a full repres- entation, CLINTON Is ALL RIGIIT.-The Wing - ham Times seems to be of the opinion that there will he quite a trick in "fill- ing the bill" in the way of inaugurat- ing and carrying out needed improve- ments. TheTimessays:-THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD says their new Council will wrestle with the following quest- ions this year: The securing of "a town clock, better streets, a system of waterworks, a pork factory, a furnit- ure factory, and lower taxation." If the Council of Clinton can fill the bill, there is no doubt buteople of the sur- rounding towns willp be anxious to know how "the trick is done." HE'S NEVER BEEN IN CLINTON.- The Signal says: -"The esteemed NEWS - RECORD, of Clinton, is engaged in lay- ing out work for the newly -elected council of that lively clachan for the coming year. Amongst the suggestions made are: A town clock; better streets, asyst.em of water works; a pork factory and a furniture factory. And as if that was not a pretty good chore for any town council to wrestle with, they put on the list as a rider that the taxation must he lowered. We can tell our es- teemed contemporary that if their proposed water -works system will pay no better than Goderich has done there will be little chance of lowering Clinton's taxes; and the ratepayers would have to live on tooth -picks and wind -pudding for all time to make the streets of Clinton passable in the Spring and Fall." THE LATE MRS. HAMNER.-Cathar- ine, wife of Wm. Hamner, formerly of Clinton and Mitchell, and mother of Mr. Johua Hamner, a one-time resident of this town, died in Toronto on the 7th inst., aged 75 years and five months. Her ailment was la grip and heart failure. The remains were con- veyed to Clinton cemetery, where the interment took place last Wednesday. The deceased was born at Ross -of -Mull, Scotland, and came to Canada with her parents probably three-quarters of a century since. She resided east of Clinton and west of Toronto at various places for some years. as well ,as in Clinton for a time. In religion the deceased had been•aa Methodist for the past 30 years. She was buried along- sioe her deceased son Fred., aged 19. Her sons Joshua of Toronto and Caleb of Arthur were present at the funeral.' Brief Local Bits.

Bargain Day, but which in future will be known as Jackson Bros. Benefit Sale Day. 1 BUT TO THE QUESTIONS, Why is it? Do you think that it is necessary to give these Speoial Days ? Simply this, it pays to sacrifice profit at the end of a season for the benefit to be derived from clearing out the odds and ends of stock, at the same time getting the cash for it. 2 Why is it that no matter wkat price is quoted to a customer on the SeXa Day he will come the following clay or days and be quite prepared to give us the regular marked prioe for goods. This is the reason :-We contently strive never to break faith with our customers in what is stated in the advertise% ments or in any other business dealings. 3 Again why ? Is it that such sttict attention is paid to the newspaper state- ments ? Well, it pays to do so. Not being in business for amusement, our object is not to sell goods at or below cost, but at a fair profit, and at the same time give the customer the very best value obtainable Tor his money. AHow is it that we, not claiming to sell goods below cost, still in every article of Men's and Boy's wearing apparel we give the best value obtainable from any house in Western Ontario to -day. The following facts tell their own story: -We buy only for cash, also buy in immense quantities; and lastly, having made the clothing business the study and pur% suit of our life we pretend to know a little more about it than most people and that little superfluous knowledge enables us to give our customers a little better price than you can procure elsewhere. Then on SATURDAY, JAN.' 26th, 1895, BENEFIT SALE DAY -benefit to you as customers, to us as sellers -we would impress the fact that a genuine benefit will be derived from attending the sale.
