ink Railway has given Jackson Bros.
cwell•known clothiers, an order for
iter suits for the men in their em-
yAn the western divisions. This is
he„third time that this firm has secur-
tk a contract, and shows that good,

Nd in their enterprise.
(OUSE OF REFUGE NOTES. — The
ise got two new inmates on Wed-
ay,jn the persons of Jonathan and
AIlian; Stone.—A girl of the unfor-
unate class, who has been a' -i inmate
or a'Short time, became the mother of
ane boy this week. Several of the
d inmates are on the sick list, in
act they have been for some time.--
igious services were conducted last

',.the station here. Whea a, -south ,
round and an eastbound train arrive
itis leave at virtually the same time,
t is difficult to prevent mistakes, and
;revellers should themselves be on the
ookout, but it seems to us that a me -
'nod of pjacarding or announcing the
rains could be adopted which would
materially reduce the liability of pas -
singers getting on wrong trains.
POLITICAL NOTES.—A scrutiny of the
'otos Gast in West Huron election case
i in progress atOsgoode Hall,Toronto.
-Mr. Eilber, defendant in the South
ur,nn election petition, was up for ex -
"'"'nation before the judge at Goderich
Mondhy; it is said that the Conser-
tives offered to saw off this protest

be held in November or December,

A RIG ORDER.—Last week Dube' ty
Co. received an order trout Crane & Co.
of Liverpool, for 25 each of their differ
ent styles of organs, this being the sec
and large order received from thesam
firm since the Doherty factory re -coin
uienced operations. By Christina
time this English firm will have take
about 600 of the world-famous Doherty
organs.
TELEGRAPH CHANGES. — The Great
Northwestern Telegraph Company has
a staff of men employed in removing
the poles along the Huron Road, be-
tween Seaforth and Goderich, as their
vi ires now run along the rail* oad track
We believe it is the intention of the
company to also remove its poles and
wires on the north and south gravel
roads, and use the railroad lines on this
division also.
TRIFLES.—The fall show season is
over. The autumn foliage is ,coloring
—the pretty tints of red and gold are
appearing. When Hallow Eve gets
here there should be no senseless prac-
tice of removing gates, outhouses, etc.
Fanners who have apples picked should
now get them under cover; don't leave
them exposed to frosts. The tax pol-
lector is now ready to receive the
taxes for this year.
THE CLINTON NEW ERA
..r
O IIeolder Weather Wants. • •
• 1 Chill October winds are forcible reminders of the need of
warmer clothing. We're ready for just such weather as this ;
never faced a season's business better able to supply your Dry
Goods wants than we are to -day. Search as you will, you'll find
no better stocks or better values for dependable qualities than
are here.
THEATRICAL.—The charming actress
Maud Henderson, and her excellent
company of players will occupy the
Tem, Hall for three nights commenc-
ing Oct. 17th. Miss Henderson comes
strongly recommended as an 'artist of
great dramatic ability. She is also a
daughter of Canada and deserves a
royal welcome. The play selected for
the opening night will be "The true Ir-
ish Boy.” Many new and pleasing spec•
jetties will be introduced during the ev-
ening. Slcure your seats from P. B.
Crewes.
AN ARTIST.—Mrs J.F. Parke return-
ed on Saturday last from London,
where for a mouth she has been pur-
suing her studies in china painting..
Mrs Park's talent as a decorative ar-
tist and painter in oils is well known,
hut we would judge by the beautiful
work executed during the past month
that itis in the ceramic art shs excels.
We understand that several enthusi•
asts in this dainty and fascinating
work are trying to induce Mrs Parke
to open classes for its study, and it is
possible that she may do so.
INSPECTOR'S VISIT.—Mr Tilley, Mod-
el School Inspector- visited Clinton
School on Tuesday, and spent the
whole day with the rnodelites. In the
afternoon the school children were dis-
missed at three o'clock, and then Mr
Tilley gave a 40 minute address Co the
modelites alone, advising them as to
the best course to pursue in their fut-
ure relations with pupils, urging upon
them the cultivation of all points in
their own lives and those of the pupils
that would contribute both to moral
and material development. The trus-
tees were all presen 1 during the address,
as were also Rev. A. Stewart, Mayor
Holmes and J. P. Tisdall, the two first
named giving short addresses also.
NEW LADY SUPERINTENDENT.— The
following is taken from the Woodstock
Sentinel Review of the 4th Inst.:—"The
board of trustees of the Woodstock"
Hospital met last evening at the hos-
pital for the transaction of the regular
monthly business of that institution.
All the members were present with the
exception of the warden. The follow-
ing resolution was unanimously passed
by the board, that Miss Loraine Smith,
of Bayfield, Ont., late Lady Superin-
tendent of All Saint's Hospital,Kansas
City, and teacher in the University
Training School for nurses of that
place, he appcinted Lady Superintend-
ent of Woodstock General Hospital."
Miss Smith is a daughter of Rev. S. L.
Smith, Bayfield, and sister of Rev. E.
B. Smith, of Clinton.
CLOSE ENOUGH. — The other day
while John Harland was doing some
work in the upper part of the shop he
was startled by the zip of something
that whistled past his face,and violent-
ly struck the wall behind him. A mo-
ment afterwards another missilestruck
the sash in front of him, splintered the
bar and flew past his head. Feeling it
unsafe to take any more chances he
moved away, and a hunt for the ar-
ticles showed that two marbles had
been fired from some projectile, one
of which he is satisfied would have
penetrated his head, had it not been
for the window bar. How the marbles
were fired is not known, but if done
by boys, they should be exceedingly
careful how they fool with weapons
that may be dangerous.
HURON MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.—
The regular meeting of this association
was held on Wednesday. Oct. 12th, in
the Council Chamber, Clinton, when
the following members were present:—
Dr. Stanbury, Bayfield; Drs. Hunter
and Taylor, Goderich; Drs. Gunn, Mc-
Callum and Shaw, Clinton; Dr. Tait,
Blyth; Dr. McKenzie, Moncton: Dr.
Dunemore, Stratford; Drs. Bethune
and Burrows, Seaforth. Nominations
for representative to Ontario Medical
Council resulted in Dr. J. A. Robert-
son, of Stratford, being the successful
nominee of the association fur the dis-
trict of Huron and Perth. Nomina-
tion papers must be in the hands of
the returnine. officer, Dr. Shaw, before
Nov. 8th. Resolutions were passed
regretting the removal of Dr. Woods,
late of Mitchell, to Nashville, Tenn.,
where he has accepted a professorship
in the Medical College. Dr. Shaw
. read a paper which elicited much dis-
cussion by the members.
DISTRICT LODGE—A regular meeting
of District Lodge No. 24, I.O.G.T„ was
held in the Temperance Hall, Porter's
Hill, on the llth inst. The day being
wet and unfavorable, there was a small
attendance of delegates. In the ab-
sence of J. D. Murdock. St. Helens, D.
C. T., Mr E. L. Farnham, Constance,
occupied tha chair. The report of dele-
gatesfrom lodges was mostly favorable.

Treasurer for a number of years, ten-
dered his resignation, being unable to
attend to the duties any longer; he was

Soroething about BOYS' REEFERS
During the past year or two a great
change has taken place amongst school
boys on the question of Overcoats vs.
Reefers. A great many boys who are
going to school decidedly object to the
long overcoat and prefer the Reefer, on
account of the freedom they enjoy
while at play. To meet the demand
for a serviceable, and at the salve time,
a cheap Reefer, we have imported direct
from London, England, per steamship
"Umbria" one case of these goods, which are now on
sale at the lowest prices ever quoted in Ontario. They
arethe product of one of the largest clothing manufac-
turers in England, and buying them in this way we save
several profits. The goods are a heavy serge ; colors
blue and black ; style double breasted with large storm
collars, and altogether a coat for the winter that cannot
be equalled. The prices are : 23 to 28, $2 ; 29 to 33,
$2.50 ; and taken in connection with our Boys' Knee
Pants at 50c, 60c, and 75c, you are enabled to get Boys'
Clothing at prices that cannot be touched by any house
trying to do a clothing trade.
The only mistake we have made is not buying
enough of them, and as the season is now in, good keen
buyers should see them at once.

Shoe Department ,
ONE OF THE
LIVELIEST
IN OUR
BIG STORE . .
While we were
considering the advis-
ability of removing
our Boot and Shoe
stock to our present
establishment, a n d
placing it on the departmental system to save $1,000 in
expenses, it was amusing to hear the different views of
our many friends on the question. Some said that it would
be a mistake, that we did not have room enough and that
we could not carry our trade with us. Others again said
it was the shrewdest move we ever made, and that the
tremendous saving of expense would place us in a posi-
tion to defy competition on prices, that it was an up-to-
date method, and that it would be appreciated. To sum
up, our experience has been this : Our sales have in-
creased 60 per cent over the same period of last year, and
every day's business shows us that it was a wise move.
To be sure there is no excuse for our not quoting low
prices, because we have nothing to pay out for expenses.
We will go right along placing before the keenest
buyers the best goods to be obtained at prices 15 per cent
lower than other people can afford to sell, and you have
only to investigate these statements to find them correct
in every particular.
