A Carnival.
• The young folks' carnival in the rink
on Saturday p. m. was well attended
and they had just a lovely time. Their
enjoyment was, perhaps, all the more
keen from the fact that it was to be
the last carnival of the season. There
were many nice costumes, but space only
allows reference to the prize winners
who were as follows Best girls' cos-
tume Miss Bella Mawan, (Can-
ada) ; 2nd,Miss Minnie Cook,(old wom-
an.) ;Boys :—.1st, Aubrey Brewer, (In-
dian) ; 2nd,Chtinarny Sheppard.
A Plag Needed.
A. prominent citizen suggested to
TrtE NEWS-REcoRD the other day that
the attention of the council be directed
to the flag which has frequently of
late been flying over the town hall,
making merry oier British victories in
South Africa. It was a fine flag, said
he,when presented to the town several
years ago by Mr. W. H. Ransford, but
Ulna and wind have had their effect
and anew Union Jack should be pur-
chased, one bigger and better than
any that has yotfloated over the loyal
citizens of Clinton.
A Shitnining Station.
Mr. J. E. Orealy has decided to start
a "Skinmileg Station" in Clinton and
last week rented for a term of five
years part of Mr. Jacob Miller's shop,
which is now being made reedy for oc-
cupancy on April 1st, and such power
as ina,y he limp ired, Mr. Crealy comes
to Clinton because of its central posi-
tion in a daii7 district. The cream win
be gathered over a certain radius, sep-
a,rated here and then sent Clown to Sea -
_forth to be converted into gelded...hued
butter. 1VIr. Crealy is welcomed to
Clinton. May his industry prove suc-
oesiful..
Bandit Missions.
Those -who attended the services •in
the. Baptist church on Sunday last—and
the evening congregation was large
notwithstanding the inclement weath-
er—received a treat in the sermons de-
tivered by Rev. J. G. Brown, B. A.,
of Toronto, the Foreign Missionary
Secretary of the Ohurch 0 The 'rever-
end gentleman anent eight years in the
Mission Field in Hindustan and knows
from personal experienee whereof he
speaks. With the aid of colored charts
he explained the field, illustretedvvhat
had been done and the immense possi-
bilities for earnest Christian .workers
and Contributors.
The circle Entertain.
. The entertainment given one even-
ing last week by.the Woraen's Mission
Circle of the Baptist church was an en.
joyeble and profitable affair. The 'at-
tendance was the best yet in the his-
tory of the • Circle which in conse-
quence feels encouraged to persevere
in the good work it has been carrying
on. Rev. T. I, Murduck occupied the
chair and no program lags when this
reverend gentleman directs it. There
were also refreshments which rounded
• out a pleasant evening. The receipts
will be devoted to the purchase of a
carpet for the pulpit platform and cur-
tainfor the baptistry.
The sale at these priaes will be continued till IVIarch
256, when all will be Cleaned out. We will be ready to show
these goods on Saturday morning. These goods are all first -

The •Christlan Daily Paper.
The Topeka Daily Capital, which
Rev. Charles M. Sheldon has for the
past week been conducting along the
lines of what. he considers a model daily
should be in this Christian country, is
good,and at the same time rather dull,
so much so that three months of the
present management would financially
embarass the concern. What the peo-
ple want nowadays in the secular
press is the news, written in as enter-
taining a style as possible, not lengthy
moralizing articles for which the prop-
er place is the church papers. News-
paper men are philanthropists, to be
sure, but still they prefer catering to
the reading.wante of the nubile at a
small profit, than to boring them at a
loss. •
The Station In St Joseph's.
The seryiees of the Mission held in
St, Joseph's church on Friday, Satur-
day and Sunday were largely attended,
notwithstanding the rather unfavor-
able weather. The deep interest manifested in them must have been gratify-
ing to Rev. Father West as well as to
the preacher, the Rev. rather Pius of
the Carmelite Order, one • of the most
celebrated of the Missionary preachers
of the Church, whose sermons were el-
oquent, practical and pointed and per-
meated with the.spirit of the broadest
tolerance. The choir, under the effi-
cient leadership of Mr, William Jones,
with Miss Jones as organist, rendered
good service during the Mission and
was thanked by Rev. Father West on
Sunday evening.
A Ohm Bealdestee.
Mr, William Doherty takes possession
of his new residence this week. It is
of red pressed brick and of a pleasing
style of arehitecture. Mr. S. S.Cooper
was the contractor, Mr. 3, 3. Fisher
did z the painting, Mr. Tony
Gardner the plastering and
Harland tiros, the plumbing. The
heating operant; Wes put in place un-
Paid Out $91,000.
The other day Mr, 0. Wallis ran over
his payments for hogs during 1899 and
tound, the total amounted to Oyer
$01,000, or an average of seven dollars
per porker, This is a pretty large sum
to be put into circulation by one deal-
er, but by the vigorous way in vrhiela
he is pushing business this year his
payments will run up into the six fig-
ures, The business roan who works so
hard as does Mr.Wallis deserves to suc-
ceed,as we are glad to know he isdolug

The progressive Ontario street Me-
thodist church contemplates further
tnproyements which are rendered ne-
cessary by the growth of the congre-
gation. The ladies are always foremost
in promoting all the schemes of the
church and on Wednesday evening '
ast a committee from their number
met the officials to talk the matter
over. The first result was the selection
of a joint committee to see about plans,
etc„ and gather information as to ways
and means, •
Citizens. Who Are Not Well.
We are sorry to hear of the illness
of our old frtend,Mr. D. 13. Kennedy,
who has been confined indoors for
several days past with a severe cold.
Mr. Kennedy is such a &nailer figure
about town that even his temporary
absence is noted. —Mr. G. D. Gil-
christ, we are all very sorry to learn,
is dangerously ill, The old gentleman
is well advanced in years, but has al-
ways been hale and hearty. He is
good naturedly and kind and is a great
favorite with us all. •• •

Saturday by falling off a load of

A Rifle Range.
Colonel Holmes of London was in
Clinton on Friary last and in com-
pany with Captains Combe, McTag-
gart, , Shaw and Messrs, .T. Rano;
ford • and. J. Johnstone went
over the ground which has been
looked upon as entirely suitable ' for a
rifle range. The bank into which the
firing takes place is about thirty feet
high,but the Colonel was not exactly
satisfied. He wanted this, that and
the other thing, but finally agreed, we
believe, to recommend a one -hundred
dollar grant under cerpain conditions.
As rifle shooting will in future be re-
garded as of vastly more importance
than ever before it is fully expected
that the Militia Department will do
what is just and. generous for the Clin-
ton 'Rifle Association.

NIR. S. S. COOPER.
Mr, 5, S. Cooper was born on the
185h of October 1885 in Queens County,
Ireland, 'where the family had lived
for generations upon Glebe lands.
When eighteen years of age heleft the
Evergreen Isle and came to Canada
and Goderich and two years later,that
is in 1885,he moved to Clinton, For a
ccmple of seasons he, worked at his
teride of carpenter and in 1887 began
to take •contracts on his own account
and since then he has erected over two
hundredistuldings, including churches,
school houses, parsonages, private re,
sidences, etc., among the number: the
Huron House of Refuges Stavely Hall,
Clinton ;Baptist church, Clinton ; Me-
thodist parsoisage,Varna ; Holmesville

well-equipped two-story factory in

He already has a number of contracts
on hand for next season, including a
BAYFIEL,D,
The Patriotic Concert.-13ayfield and
vicinity ale "British to the Core," Any
one baring any doubts on that point
would. have had them removed had
they been in the village last Friday
night when the largest assembly ever
seen in the town hall crowded into
the building till standing room was at
a premium to bear the program to be
presented on behalf of the Canadian
Pittriotac Fund. Long before the hour
for commencing the hall was literally
packed by it good-natured and good -
Woking crowd who cause there to show
their appreciation of our gallant volun-
teers to the front and the enthusiasm
was unbounded for when at the con-
clusion of tile performance the chair-
man called for three cheers for the
Queen such cheers as were given would
have done credit to a vest ermy. The
hall was properly and beautifully
decorated with bunting and Union
Jacks,the back of the stage being fairly
covered with British emblems enshrin-
ed in Ow centre of which Her Majesty
lookOdown smiling and bappy upon
herlenthusiastic and patriotic people,
while to the right the Prince of Wales
seemed pleased to note these expres-
sions of love and devotion to his royal
mother. The whole ;showed that the
conimittee had displayed much taste in
thus a,rrringing for a pleasing effect.
The program consisted of Patriotic
addresses, solos, dielognes, military
drills, recitations, orchestra selections,
tableaux, etc., and ail those taking
part acquitted themselves well, A.
pleasing feature of the concert was the
fact that all who took part were of
Bayfield and vicinity vvith the excep-
tioricf Miss IVItiudelVIcNaughton who
sang with fine. effect .'The .A.bsent
Minded Beggar" and Dr, Pallister and
Me. A. E. Erwin also sang well while
the quartette, composed of Dr.Pellis-
ter, 4, E. Erwin, A. C. Ferguson and
R. Peck, brought down the house with
some comic favorites. The school
boys rendering of "British to the Core"
and. "Red White and Blue" was well
done while the boys in red Under
Capt. Jiteesbn performed excellent
nulitaiy•• manoeuvres and at the con-
clash:in of each exeveise sang, whistled
and hummed with splendid effect,"The
Maple Leaf" and • 4‘§oldiers of the
Queen," Captain Jackson; besides
• putting the boys through 'some splen-
did 'flattery evolutions, gave exhibt-
%tions of Cavalry sword exercise whichy
were loudlapplauded. The address
of Rev:. Shaw on the "Bravery
of the British Soldier," and that of
Rev. E. 0. Jennings On the "Union
jack; its origin arid significance" were
eloquent 'and timely efforts and both
brimful of patriotic sentiment. The
rest of the program was made up of
Tableaux, dialogues ancipatriqtie
tations, takeiiPart in by the following
young ladies, viz., 1VlisiesM. Whiddon,
B. Whiddon, E. Falconer, E. Dupee,
E. Watson and Sadie Bohner', while
the follOseing young men, viz.; 3.. Mc-
Leod. R. Bailey, W. Holman, j. Cam-
eron, Whiddon and C. Martin ac-
quitted themselves well in dialogues
and recitations, Miss A. Bothwell and
Mrs, James Ferguson ably presided at
the organ, while the Taylor orchestra
enlivened the proceedings by render,
ing several choice selections. • The
whole affair was a brilliant .success,
financially and otherwise and reflects
great credit on the manacereent, par-
ticularly upon the efforts of Ur. G. W.
liolman who entered into the affair
with his usual enthusiitsin and vigor
and it must be a source of great sada
faction to him to have surmounted all
difficulties and brought the affair to
such a successful issue. Mr. Holman
had as assistants in the work the fol-
lowing :—Rev. E. C. Jennings, Mrs.
(Dr.) Stanbury, Dr, Woods, Dr. Pal- -
lister, Mr. A. E. Erwin, Mrs. ilolman,
Mrs. JArl!es Pollock, Mr. and Mrs. Jas.
Ferguson, Misses L. and M. Ferguson,
Miss Rathvvell and Miss Mary Whid-
don, to whose efforts a large measure
of the success of the affair are due. The
proceeds of the concert amounted to
the magnifleent SUM of $95.15, while
the subscriptions secured by Mrs. G.
W. Holman and Mrs. Jas. Pollock
amounted to $18.55, making atotal of
$118,70, which, less a small expense for
