Keeping Rverlastingly At it,
An exchange paper has the foll ow
ing pertinent remarkon the subject
of advertising; "The importance or
thoroughly advertising the goods they
have to sell is being recognized by
merchants and business men every
year. A. few years ago it was only ne-
cessary to use the newspaper on great
occasions, but to do business now, to
keep in the swim, to make money, re.
quires steady, persistent, catchy adver•
tisements. An insertion once a month
will no longer do, A man meet keep
„ his name beforethe people or he will
be forgotten. The mernery is frequent-
ly 'very short, and when A name is
dropped from the local paper the Wei- •
nese too is soon forgotten."

The Board decided: to redeveceetehe eub-
scription of those who are not resident&

agement that certain persons have
heen mutilating the newspapersand
megazines in the feeding room. The
Board have decided to deal summarily
with every case of the kind hereafter
reported to them.

Stereo. Views.
The Mission Band of Willis church
has arranged for a stereoptican enter-
tainment to be given ih the lecture
room of the church on Thursday even-
.
ing of next week when a series of views,
South African and elsewhere, will be
presented. The manipulator of the
stereo., a Mr. Conpland, has the , very
latest of Edison's inventions and is
thus enabled to make the scenes "as
natural as life." The entertain -
went should be patronized on its merits
and the fact that the proceeds are to be
devoted to the Patriotic and India
-Famine-. Funds -should ensure a still
larger attendance.
Their Silver Wedding.
The following from the Woodstock
Sentinel -Review of April 3rd refers to a
couple who -were for many years resi-
dents -of Clinton. • Mrs.Mercer is a sis-
ter of Mr. Ed. Saville :--Aire and Mrs,
S. H. Mercer of 521 Edwordetreet were
married twenty-five years yesterday
and celebrated the occasion at their re-
sidence last night in the presence of
thirty-five or forty invited guests.
Among those present were Mr. and
Mrs. Chas. Carroll of Brantford and
Frank Mercer and George E. Dormer
of St. Marys. Simper was served at 8
o'clock and the remainder of the even-
ing spent very pleasantly in games and
music. Mr. and Mrs. Mercer are held
in high esteem by a great number of
friends, as evidenced by the many
beautiful and costly presents which
they receiyed,many of the latter being
from a distance 6The happy gathering
broke up at a seasonable hour with the
gond wishes of the guests for the con-
tinued health and happiness of the
host and hostess. •
Dellth 01 Mrs. gicNaughton. • • •
On last Thursday morning about 9
o'clock Mrs. McNaughton passed away
after a severe illness of about two
tveeks duration, although she had not
been in thp enjoyment of good health
for the\past four or five years. The• decease was born in St. Andrews,
Quebec, in the year 1842. When she
i.
was twelve years of age the family
moved to the vicinity of Kincardine
where she resided until the time of her
rowing° to Mr. John McNaughton of
the Bayfield Road near Varna, where
she spent the greater part of her years,
devoting her life to deeds of usefulness
and happiness. There was born to
Mr. and Mrs. McNaughton a family of
nine children, all of them now living
except the fourth member, Alex-
ander, who died when ha. wasbut
six years old. The two oldest daugh-
ters are married to brothers. the former
to Mr. 3.E, Johnston, A successful
merchant of Chatham, and the other
to Mr. Sas. Johnston residing on the
Hilton Road near Goderich. John,
who is a member of Stanley town-
ship council, resides on the old
lhornestead and David on the Front
Road near Bay field, and for
the last five years Kate, Maud and
Shaine have lived with their mother
in Clinton. Will, the youngest of the
family, has been engaged in busi-
ness in Chatham for the past
two years. Mr, McNanghton
died six years ago after a, happy
married life extending over thirty
years. The funeral of Mrs. MeNaugh-
ton took place him her late residence
on Townshend Street on Saturday and
proceeded to the Barfield cemetery
where her remains were laid to rest by
the side of her husband. The funeral
services weee conducted by Rev. .1, F.
Parke, and Rural Dean Roclgins of
of Seliforth, The pall -bearers were her
three sons and her son -hl -law, Mr. Jas. ,
johnston, her brother,Mr. Hower Mac-
donald of Toronto Junetiort and her
nephew, Mr. 'Meek Mellaughton of .
Stanley. Her faaffly have lost a loving,
wise and godly mother and the core- ,
munity onewho has ever commanded
their highest esteem and regard for
her mariv exeellent gifts and qualities.
Unselfishness Was one of the strong
traits in her character that was ever "
rul always tending to the higher and
purer epleituall life. Her bright and
'cheerful disposition Was clearly shown
during all her years and it was not
dimmed but rather inteneified by the
suffering she endured. Her words of
wisdom and affectionate couneel will
not soon be forgotten by the familz
and all who had the privilege ot her
acquaintance and friendship.. Both
the family and the connannity will

by Rev. Ur. Hoover and afterwards a
reception wes teudered Mr. and Mrs.
Hoover and after a social tea there was
a pleaspig impromptu program. Mrs.
Hoover, prior to hey marriage, was an
aetiye meneber of this League and
much regret is expressed. aiming them
at her departure. They are extendieg
all manner of good wishes, though.
.4 Canning pactory.
Clinton would make a good centre
for a canning factory and such an in-
dustry would add very much to the
prosperity of our town in various
ways. It would add to the population
and assessment and make it a, better
market. We have no doubt but that a
loan would be given ,,by the citizens: If
the project is taken up witn a vim
and pushed along vigorously it success
could be made of it, Other towns are
reaching out and why not Clinton?
