EXPRESS MATTERS.—In accordance
with their plan for the reduction of ex-
penses, the express messenger who for-
merly went down on the morning L.H.
& B. train has been taken off, and the
baggageman is required to handle ex-
press matter and bagglige. If the Ex-
press Company and the Railway Com-
pany can come to an amicable under-
standing, it is intended to take oft oth-
er messengers also. There has been
for some .time talk about dispensing
with the town express agents, and
giving the work over into the and
of station agents. In the interests of
the general public this should not be
done. We have not the slightest
doubt but that the agents would do
their part of the work as satisfactory
as possible, hutit would be detriment-
al to the interests of the public, who
have some rights in the matter, and
would find it most inconvenient if
they had to go to the station whenever
they wanted to send away express
matter.
ACCIDENT.—Mrs Butt, Albert street,
met with a bad accident on Wednes-
day morning. One of the window
blinds not, rolling up as usual,she step-
ped on a table to fix it, and in stepping
down again put her foot on a chair,
which tipped and threw her to the
floor. The fall rendered her uncon-
scious, and when a doctor came he
found that a couple of ribs had been
fractured, and she had sustained other
injuries. She isconfined to bed but

HOUSE OF REFUGE NOTES.—Death
claimed a couple more of the inmates,
in the person of Henry Schwanz, from
Crediton, Stephen township, who was
about 66 years of age, and died on
Monday; March 1st. -Tuesday another
death took place; in the person of Miss
Mary Actanps, whose former home was Miss Anna Rumbell, who has been

FIRE PROTECTION MEETING.—Some
time ago the Underwriters' Associa-
tion demanded certain additions to the
fire appliances in town, in order that
the town may retain its present insur-
ance rating. These additions will
mean an outlay of at least $1,600 or
9I2,O00,,and the council did not feel jus-
tified in incurring so much expense
without consulting, the people. A
meeting of the business men and all
interested in the question, will be held
in the council chamber, this evening,
at 8 o'clock, to discuss the matter;when
it is hoped there will be a good repre-
sentation.
DROWNED .IN THE THAMES—Mr L.
E. Vogler, an old- and respected resi-
dent, and for many years reeve of the
township of Zone, ' was drowned by
falling through an air bole, while
crossing the River Thames on Friday
afternoon on the ice opposite his farm,
about two miles from Bothwell. His
body has not yet been recovered. De-
ceased was a brother of Mrs S. Coats,
of town, and was expected here on a
visit. He was 6I years- of age, and
leaves a family of six sons; he has been
living in. the State of Idaho, and came
home recently, owing to his wife's ser-
ious illness. she dying about a month
since. Mr Vogler was a staunch Libe-
ral, for some time Warden of Kent,
and was the eldest son of a well known
Moravian missionary, the late Rev.
Jesse Vogler.

doctor's care ever since; we are glad to
state that she is improving.
' Mrs W. Argent, who has been ill for
some time at the home of her father,
Mr Jas. Cartwright, of Hullett, has
now recovered, and has returned to
town.
Charles Cooper, of Winnipeg, has
been sperding a few days under the
parental roof, and returns to the west
this week, where he • is engaged as a
traveller.
The wife of Mr John Dennison, of
Stanley, died this week. She was a
half-sister of the late ReeveMcMurchie,
and had only been .married it few
years. The remains were interred in
Bayfield cemetery.
Mr Geo. Stewart has moved to the
store -formerly occupied by Hill & Joy-
ner, Huron St., and the latter have
moved to Mr Stewart's stand, Albert
St., where they have ample room for
their expanding business.
We are sure the sympathies of the
townspeople will go out to Mr and Mrs
A. 0. Pattison in the bereavement
they have again sustained by the death
of their youngest, daughter, Jessie,
aged 13 years, which occurred on Mon-
day evening.

Economy bias no more to do with holding fast than with letting go. Ecgnomy
is simply good management—getting the most out of everything. An ear
expenditure may be much more economical than one you delay as 1on as yd;.
can. A dollar spent in repairing a defective chimney may be worth ve hun-
dred by preventing a fire. Extravagance waits till need compels. minomy

to you cheaper, rather than move it. Note a few sample prices:and judge for

through the critical operation, is mak-

inmates were very much disappointed
last Sunday, because there was no ser-

ing that perhaps the owner had fallen
out of the sleigh, called "whoa," and
the horses stopped. It was a bitterly
cold night, his own horse was restless,
and he did not know what to do, fear-
ing that the team, if left out all night,
might perish; after considerable troub-
le he managed to turn the team around
and took it to the nearest farm -house,
and awaking the inmates, asked them
to look after the horses until the owner
was found. Then, driving carefully
townward, the gentleman, much to
hie own discomfort, watched each side
of the road, expecting to find the own-
er of the team, perhaps star k and stiff.
Els got no trace of hitt, however, and
next morning it was learned that the
owner had gone into a hotel, and the'
team; getting tired of waiting outside,
had started home alone. It was a
thoughtful, humane and considerate
act on the part of the gentleman to do
what he did, because it was at much
personal inconvenience.
OBITUARY.—The Review, a society
paper of Grand Rappids, thus, refers to
the death of Miss Prendergast, . niece
of Mrs Whitt: --"Died in this city, on
Dec. 23, Miss Jennie M. Prendergast,
after a linger ing illness,' of tuberculo-
sis. Mrs A. S. Prendergast moved
here from Stratford, Ont., a little over
a year ago. Miss Jennie was the eld-
est of four; she was a bright. beautiful
cultured young person, and held a pro-
minent position in the office of Judge
Burch. During her short stay among
us she made many very warm friends,
and in her long months of suffering al-
ways had a kind, loving word and
smile for all. She endeared herself
more by her patience and unalterable
faith in her God, "that all was best as
it was," and we believe that her loss to
her immediate friends cannst be re•
placed. Her life of suffering amongst
us has left a lasting impression for
good; ' it can truly be said of ber that
"she, being dead, yet speaketh." To
Mrs Prendergast and family we extend
our sincere sympathy in this their
great los!., and may He who is the wi-
dow's Grid comfort her."

seems more active than usual in gath-
ering home those who have for many
years occupied a sphere of activity and
usefulness here. On Friday last Mrs
A. Walker died at the residence of her
son-in-law, Mr John Shobbrook, on the
gravel road, Mullett, having reached
the age of nearly 84ears. She was
the widow of the late JosephyWalker,
who built the present hotel at Londes-
boro, he having predeceased her exact-
ly 36 years to the day. For the last
ten years she has made her home with
Mr Shobbrook; when she was abie to
get out she attended the Methodist
church, but age and infirmity hat pre-
vented her doing so for some time. In
addition to Mrs Shobbrook, she leaves
one daughter, Mrs W. Cole, of Londes-
boro; and two sons, Jabez, of Chicago,
and Joseph, of Sarnia; a son and daugh-
ter are also dead. The remains were
interred in Londesboro cemetery on
Tuesday, many showing their respect
by following them to their last resting -
place.
CONCERT.—The Orchestra Concert,

success.The attetidan a evening,

the program was fully up to the mark.
The Orchestra gave some very fine se-

Messrs Kerr and Emmerton gave a
guitar duet, and Messrs Harland and
Murch sang a duet, both of which were
very effectively rendered. Sortie very,
well arranged tableaux were given,
the first one, Jael and Sisera," by
Miss M. Freeborn and Mr Geo. McRae,
was excellent; the second, "the God-
dess of Music," by Mrs Watts, Master
Hartley Watts, and Miss Lela Hoover,
was beautiful, and the third,"Miss
Canada," by Miss McBrien, was very
impressive as "God save the Queen"
was being rendered. The first tab-
leau was repeated by special request.

well, and responded to several. well de-
served encores, and kept the audience
in roars of laughter. He has gained a
good reputation for himself in Clinton.
Mrs Greig, the well known elocutionist
of Seaforth, pleased the audience very
much with her several recitations.

TO THE READER,
We wish to draw your special attention to the
list we print this week. They are all called "Lead-
ers" and stand out as distinct value over anything
that has been offered before. Every line has been
bought in large quantities and will be sold for Spot
Cash only. They will always be prominently dis-
played in our store and every line and size kept up.
These goods have no relation to the many 'shod-
dy lines that are in the market this season. We re-
fused to handle the low "priced lines offered to us.
Our reputation is too well known for selling such
lines as we could give a guarantee, people who
want.shoddy goods will have to go elsewhere,
We justly claim the oldest and largest Clothing
and Furnishing establishment in Western Ontario
to -day. A business that many readers of this pa-
per well know, has been built up by hard work and
honest methods. The people of this section of
country will find our store contains- the largest and
best assorted stock of Clothing to be found outside
of any city. If you are not a customer of ours, be
one now. We find out our weekly talk in this way
is as much read as local news, and we are too well
know# to bring you to our store by false and catchy
prices.
Our mail order department is also fast increas-
ing. These orders have our very prompt atten-
. tion. We have given special attention to the buy-
ing for this season's demands, and all our goods
which are opened up are proving most satisfactory.
We will be pleased to have an early call from you
and an inspection will be appreciated by us.
Yours truly, ` JACKSON BROS.
