Mr. and Mrs. Kilty will have the sin- cere sympathy of a very large circle of friends. HIGHLY INSTERESTING NUMBER.— The Acton Free Press says:—THE CLIN-. TON NEWS -RECORD of last week was a highly interesting number. THE NEWS - RECORD has always interested itself in county matters and in last issue gave an able illnatrated review of the pro- motion and erection of the House of Refuge of Huron County. It contains much valuable information and could be studied with profit by the members of our own County. CLINTON CONSERVATIVES.—The. an- nual meeting of the Clinton Conserva- tive Association was held on Friday evening. There was a very large and enthusiastic attendance from every ward in town. Officers were elected as follows, President Todd retiring : Presi- dent, Dr. Freeborn; vice-president, Dr. Bruce; secretary, D. S. Cook; treasurer, S. J. Andrews. Mr. Weisrniller, the Conservative candidate, was present and addressed the meeting. He very favorably impressed every one and was heartily cheered as he concluded. Resolutions were unanimously passed endorsing Mr. Weisnniller's candida- ture and the general policy of the Goy ernment, also one expressing hearty appreciation of the many years faith- ful service performed by the retiring President. The meeting adjourned with cheers for the candidate. DRAUGHT HORSE BREEDERS. — The attendance and interest at this gathering held in Clinton last Wednes- day, was a decided improvement over that of last year, and a good indication that there is yet a hopeful feeling that "horses will go up," and the present long depression in draught horse breed- ing give way to something like the good prices of former days, The man- agers of the Domsnion Society are cer- tainly entitled to credit for the excel- lent financial condition they maintain, for while some of the other and more pretentiot ooks are seriously in ar- rears w,ith their finances, and others have hard work to make enols meet, this one begins its tenth year with over $1400 surplus funds in the bank. The reports show that while hut little reg- istering has been done during the past year, the current expenses have been met without impairing this surplus. All the old officers were re-elected, and amongst the business transacted it was decided to close volume "0" on Febru- ary 1st, and at once print and distri- bute it, at the same time raising the standard to four registered crosses. A deputation consisting of President Mc- Millan and 0. E. Mason will wait on Minister Dryden next week, and en- deavor to make satisfactoy arrange- ments for placing the register under the supervision of the Government In- spector, hut the Society to conduct its own elerical work and general business as now. The Council will hold their next meeting during the first wee{in February and arrange for the printing and publication of the 3rd. Star. itom T.A404n,Xt.. d. O.
