For this purpose we shall for some days make even yet greater sacrifi- ces on prices. Our sales have been enormous---the goods have gone out ----not simply in parcels-but liter- ally in loads. And yet after weeks of unprecedented selling there are still stacks of goods-such is the immensity of the stock we carry, Now we are determined to stand by our first announcement, "to make a clearance of the entire stock before commencing renova- tions." But the spring season is forcing itself upon us. We propose making such extensive alterations and enlargement as to make our store one of the DRY GOODS PALACES of Ontario, eclipsing anything in Guelph. To this we must turn at once. Besides this in spite of our stre- nuous efforts to keep back the vol- ume of our new spring importations new goods are crowding in upon us. We "have already opened during the lastweek and this 36 cases of New Goods. We have invoices from Manchester, advices from London, goods on the way from Paris and Berlin. With the arrival of all these goods and the change in premises it simply means a deluge. Now we must have elbow room. and we are nut afraid of anything ---and this we will and must have, ifwe have figuratively speaking, to shovel out the present stock. We refer to the Bargains we have given as an earnest of our inten- tions. Ilyou are open for anything at all in Mantles, Furs, Millintpy, Dress Goods, Cotton, Linen and Woolen Staples, Cloths, Clothing, Gent's Furnishings, Fancy Dry Goods, Carpets, Lace Curtains, etc ---now is the chance ofyour life to buy cheap.

The cost of the nmv court home of Oxford county is $109,949 77 Mr. A, J. Brown, contractor, of, Toronto, has put in a bill $16,368 for: extras, over which there is a dispute. A curious alimony suit was heard at Osgoode Hall recently. Mrs/ Eliza- beth Grosz of.Elmira is mking the court fpr an order for the sale of her husband's land. She claims this is the only way she can claim any sum by alimony. North Oxford license commissioners some time ago passed a bylaw closing hotel bars at 10 p. m.

LOST AN EitR.-Misss Piggot, of the, 9th. com, East, Zorra, had the misfor, tune to lose an ear on Saturday last. She and her sister were driving home fromWoodstock, and while passing a load of wood thew cutter upset in the deep snow and she was thrown against the load of wood with ‘the above result. Had the ear been kept the doe.. tor said it could have been put on again, but it could not be found. The grave news hasjust been reeeiv, ed from Honan that Rev. Jonathan Goforth, missionary therefor some time is meeting with strong and dangerous opposition from the native authorities, and the result is uncertain. Rev. Mr. Goforth was born and brought up in East Nissouri. There is trouble in the management of the Ontario Wool Boot Company, a large concern at Hanover, Ont. Messrs.

Mr. Cred- des is a young man of high character and of exceptional ability in his pro- fession. During his three months' practice here he has had some extreme cases to deal with, but has been successful everitime. Will, evidently understands his business and we therefore predict for him a large and successful practice at Berlin. Mr. Thos. Geddes, Will's brother, will supply here until Mr. Mauser returns. supply here until Mr. Mauser returns. PosrPorvED.--C)wingr to the heavy rain last Saturday, and the consequent impassable state of the roads, the extensive auction sale of Mr. Michael Farrell had to be postponed until Frr. day the 17th inst. at one, o’clock p. m. Mr. Joseph Mickus wields the hammer. FARM SOLD.~M rs. J {Lines Farrell has sold her 50 acre farm to Mr. J. W. Bundy. Priera, 551800. JhrsrNEss.-Ourrverchants are laying in their: spring stocks, and from the amount we see coming in from day to day they evidently expect to do a. very large trade this spring. Mr. J. W. Bundy has laid in half a earload of granulated sugar. Trade is not dis- turbed here as in some other: localities by farmers' combines, usually called "Patrons of Husbandry." When will farmers learn that business belongs to business people, and quit dabbling in things outside of their occupation. THE Maccabees have opened a lodge here. We have a good many bees here, but perhaps Bundy and Boomer, our local apiarians will not be jealous of an additional hive. DEATH OF Miss 1s'hnut.-The body of Miss Fannie Kerr, sister of our local implement agent here and who died at Denver, Colorado, on Wednesday last, was brought home to her sister's at Mount Forest on Monday and removed here on Tuesday and interred at Rush's Cemetery, Crvvsshill,, on Wechsesday. Miss Kerr being afflicted with lung trouble resulting from at attack of la grippe was last fall induced to try the milder climate of Colorado for the Winter, in the hope that it might re store her to her wontcd health. But even this last resort coupled as it was with the tender cure of an affectionate sister who accompanied her proved unavailing and death put an end to her sufferings on Wednesday last: Mr. Kerr has the sympathy of his friends in this sad bereavement. A despatch from Chrysler. on Friday morning last bore the intelligence of the death'of Mr. William McRaelroth- er to our' townsman, A. B. McRae. The deceased was well known here- having formerly resided in the village.

New Dundee. The "CmurNIcLE" in its new dress is exceedingly attractive and no doubt will add many to its large circle of acl- mirirw: friends. Twolrads of our young people at- tended the spring examination held at the Hallman school on Saturday last. They report having had a full house, full stomachs and a day full of interest and amusement. It is gratifying to observe the increasing interest taken in these annual gatherings. Children and teachers now interchange visits with their neighbnrs and return to their labors with renewed vigor and increased interest in their work. Mr, D. K.

Hueh, nergard as their: representative to the Provincial and great camp convention, to be held in Toronto, April the 10, 11, a11d12th. Wellesley. The CHRONICLE, in its enlarged form, is a welcome friend with everybody. I am satisfied it will be much appreciated. Last Sunday the children attending the confirmation school in one of our Lutheran Churches were examined. The examination will be continued on the 25th inst. when eonfirmation will take place. In the other Lutheran Church the examination and eonfirma- tion will take place next Sunday. We understand that Messrs. Louis Koehler from Wellesley and M r.

MOCK TRIAL-he "Mock Trial" given in the lecture room on the even- ing of the 6th inst under the auspices of the Y. P. C. A. was a decided we Cass at least as far as the attendance was concerned. For some years past the majority of the young people of this no v,hhorhood, have taken very little interest in the work of the society going as a reason that the programmes were dry and uninteresting. The mock trial was prepved with the view of enticing these backsliders into the fold again. As it was something new in Winterbourne it was hoped that it would prove a drawing card but the members of the society were totally unprepared for. the crowd that greeted them when they arrived at the Lecture Room to start their programme. The old hall was packed from end to and in fact it was with the utmost difheulty that a place could be found for the judge and the jury. This oseasioraed some delay but at last everything' was ready and the trial started, It is but just to observe that those taking part were heavily handicapped in their ef- forts owing to the fact that they had found little time to piamice and make the necessary arrangements and that it was something new to all of them and also to the confusion arising from the crowded state of the house. The audience seemed‘pleased with the at- tempt, however, and weiejgood natured enough not to criticize very harshly the runny blunders made by the performers, Quito a number of the gpod people of Elmira, also a load frdm Pilkington were to be found among the audience. We hope they enjoyed the programme well enough to induce them to visit rTiuterbourne again. At the next meeting of the society 20 inst. a farce will be given entitled "Woman's Rights." This is something new for Winterbourue and is said to be very good. In audition to this there will be anumher of instrumental selections, readings, reeieaiions, vocal music etc. Admisson, 5 cents.
