DON'T TRESPASS.—Several parties in town have just secured a hunting re- serve an the farms of Messrs Row - den and Rumball, in Godericb town- phip, and they wish it to be distinctly ufuderstood that trespassers will be strictly dealt with. TRIFLES --Now that fruit is moving, even at a low price, money should cir- culate a little more freely. The sum- mer days are speeding fast, Jack Frost Is nearly due, my loved one's sunburn- ed nose will soon take on a tinge of blue. Quite a lot of grain has been Sown already. LAWN BowLs.—Sixteen members of the Clinton Lawn Bowling Club atten- ded the contest in London this week, but were not successful in winning any matches. At a meeting of the Wes- tern Ontario Bowling Association, in London, Mr G. D. McTaggart was elec- ted 2nd Vice•Pres, DIED IN CALIFORNIA.—The many friends of Mr Frank May, of Ontario, Dal., formerly of Clinton, will regret to learm of his sudden death, which took place on Saturday, Aug. 30th, of typhoid fever, he being siok only about ten days. Deceased leaves a wife and two children, and was born on the old May farm, Huron road, Goderich 'township. THEY ESCAPED.—On Thursday last three tramps were arrested by Con• stable Wheatley, for breaking open G. T. R. cars, and were placed in the lock- up, two in one cell and one in the other. The latter could not be securely locked and after the inmate had liberated him- self, he liberated the others also. Af- ter an exciting chase one was recaptur- ed, but he was the most innocent of the trio, and was subsequently released. GOOD PIOTURES.—The Montreal Dai- ly Star of Sept. lat, had five snap -shot views of Mr M. C. Cameron as he was addressing the House on the Charlebois Contract Scandal; they were excellent portraits, showing him in different at- titudes, and looking at them one could almost fancy they heard him in his de- nunciation of wrong -doing. The NEW ERA made two efforts to purchase the cuts, for use in its columns, but the Star, for some reason, declined to sell or loan them. PROPERTY SOLD.—Mr S. Copp has sold his property on King St., to R. McLeod, of Brucefield, for the sum of $700; it is a snug place, and Mr McLeod has secured a bargain; he will find Clin- ton a desirable place of abode, and takes possession in a couple of weeks. Mr Copp purposes moving to St. Thom- as, Dak., where other members of the family reside; he has been a good resi- dent of town for a long time, being fifteen years with Mr Farrah. MAKING A CHANGE.—The Wingham Journal thus alludes to a former Olin- tonian:—"Mr M. Beckwith, who has followed the occupation of baker for the last twenty continuous years, four of that number having been spent with Mr Nicholls, of town, has resolved to have a change, be it for the better or for worse, therefore on Monday last he entered into the mysteries and obli- gations pertaining into the wool de- partment of Mr Chapman's tannery. We wish him well. EXCURSION RATES TO LONDON.—Re- turn tickets - at single fare will be is- sued to London, Sept. llth to 18th, in- clusive,and at excursion fares, on Sept. 14th and 18th, as follows:—Wingham, 81,70; Belgrave, $1.80; Blyth, 51.45: Londesboro, $1.35; Goderich, $1.45; Holmesville, $1.30; Clinton, $1.25; Kip- pera, $1.00; Brucefleld, $1.10; Hensall, $0.95. All tickets, including those is- sued on special days, are valid to re- turn until Sept. 21st. On the 14th and 1811 a special train will leave London for Wingham at10.15^lr. in. .1 HOUSES NEEDED.—More houses in town are badly needed. The NEW ERA has enquiries almost every day for houses, and it is very difficult to ans- wer them, as there is hardly an avail- able house to rent. We know of par- ties who wish to move here, but can- not at present do so, owing t) the scar- city of houses. This may be a good sign, but.it-ie.hard to turn people aw- ay who want to'come here. The town is certainly looking up, and there should•be s, number of houses erected next year; in fact it would be wisdom to erect some this fall. Clinton is bound to grow, and every encourage- ment possible should be offered it. WON'T HELP HIEI.—Mr P. tiourdeau, Deputy Minister of Marine, in reply to a memorial of the Toronto City Coun- cil asking that assistance be given to Capt. Andrews, the blind life saver, says the Minister does not consider that; any valid or reasonable claim has been made against his department for Captain Andrews' support. The Cap- tain, he states, served for two seasons with the Toronto Lifeboat, but was not exposed to any hardships, and re- ceived no injuries. He was a letter carrier for years afterward, before he became blind. [This is the scamp who married Miss Thornton, of town, while at the same time he had a wife living In Toronto. I.O,(I.T.—At the regular meeting of the I.O.G.T. held Friday evening, Sept. 4th, the following program was adopt- ed for the present quarter:— Sept 11th—Fruit festival Sept. 18th�—Debate Sept.t.25th—Program am byythe Riegle brothers Oot.• 9th—Program by the married members Oct. lath—Dialogue,in Character Oat. 28 Oppen meeting Oct. 80tH—Election of offioers The debate on the evening of the 18th on"Resolved that ibtelmperance is prodnetiVe of more misery than War,' promlSes to be exceedingly Iry tereeting, T e afllrfnative will be �tak- en b 0.

RartTgp,—.Mr Plumeteel has rented his 100 acre faun the 3rd con, of Tupkerennith, for art erm of years, to Mr Frank O'Brien of Hay, for the sumer of 5275 yearly. ENTITLED T9 HALF -ROA D.--Bieyeliets claim that some farmers are in the habit of refusing to give them a share of the road. Bicyclists are entitled to half the road and offenders are liable to prosecution. The fact that he is seated in a big lumber wagon in a col- lision in which a bicycle would be total- ly wrecked, does not give any man a right to more than half the roadway. A PERTINENT QUEeTION.—Do you owe the New ERA one of two dollars for the paper? If you do remember that there are hundreds on our lists as negligent as you are, and that in the aggregate the averages amount to thousands of dollars. Every subscrip- tion ought to be paid a year in ad- vance, instead of one or two or three years behind. Now that the harvest is nearly housed, call and pay up or re- mit by mail. FALL SHOWS —In another couple of weeks we will be in the midst of the fall fairs and a word or two will be in order. The success of these exhibi- tions depends largely on the interest taken in them by the people. It should be borne in mind that the principal object these shows are meant to serve, is to encourage the raising of better stock ot farm produce. Therefore if you have a good animal or a fine speci- men of roots or grain bring it out that it may be compared with other speci- mens. Perhaps it is better, perhaps it is inferior. In either case your in- tereste in the exhibition will be in- creased, you will learn something and your ambition will be fired for the future. The exhibition should be the time for exchanging ideas and gaining iniormation,particularly on agricultur- al topics. As the Huron Central at Clinton presents a good opportunity for this you should make early ar- rangement for turning it to account in the ways indicted. The dates are Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept, 29-30, and the secretary Mr Will Coats, Clinton. NOTES.—W. J. Biggins, of Elmhurst Farm, Clinton, was a judge on Short- horn cattle this week at the Industrial Exhibition in Toronto* One day last week Messrs Jacob Taylor and T.

One evening last week when driving along the road in Tuckersmith three gentle- men, who were out packing apples, noticed four:coons crossing the road, and they succeeded in killing three of them in a very few minutes. Mr Wm. Wise, of Goderich township, has on his farm a snow apple tree which has on it ripe apples, apples just formed and blossoms. Quite a number of our wheelmen attended the races at Hen- sall on Monday. There was an unusu- ally heavy fall of rain Saturday night and Sunday. A waggon with pnuema- tic tire wheels is a novelty, but the Dodds Kidney Pill Co., of Toronto, had one in town this week; the axles are also ball bearing, and it ran along so quietly one could hardly hear it. Allan Turnbull, late of town, is now filling a position in Buffalo, and is said to be doing well. Mr John B.

'EHE CLINT * IT NEW ERA a�n ew Fall Mantles Now that chilly days and evenings are here people are interested in Fall Wraps and Jackets. Many have been waiting the announcement of the arrival of our stock, and now They Are Here They come to us from far off Germany, which leads the world in the manufacture of Mantles. We buy thein at the fountain head, and thus pay no wholesale profits, which means less for you to pay also. Every garment taken from the many boxes opened up, is right up to our expectations, both as to style and finish. This is by far the most styl- ish lot of Mantles this house has ever shown, and the prices lean your way more than ever before. We could take up all this space with descriptions of them, but the best place to see them is at the store, and we will be pleased to have you look at them at any time you may wish, whether you care to buy now or not; at the same time it is a good plan to select now, and thereby get first choice. Many are doing this and having them laid aside till they are ready for them. The New Millinery. We will be showing early fall styles in Millinery about Monday next. Not a complete stock but an inkling of what's to be worn for early fall. HODGENS BROS., The Dry Goods Palace, Clinton. HATS Kw - And the newest things direct from the makers.

Jack son Bros Tlie Piano/MI Olothiere, Z7linttin, • Goods Away Below Cost Would be a very foolish thing to advertise.
