B ELLIQTT, PuBLlsnlaR AND PnOPRISToP THURSDAY, FEBUARY 4, 1909. NOTES AND COMMENTS Hon. Colonel Matheson, the Pro- vinoial Treasurer, reports the total net reoeipts from succession duties in the Provinoe in 1908 to be $1,153,740, This is -after all refunds are paid. The Government regards the total with much satisfaction, as the estimated receipts were only $600,000. The estimates for the coining fieoal • year were laid on the table of the Com- mons Monday afternoon. The Govern- ment has implemented its promise of Cutting down expenditure as far as possible this year to meet the decrease in the revenues. The estimates total $110,489,774, which is nineteen and a quarter millions less than the estimates of last year, The main estimates last session were followed by supplement- arles whioh totalled ten and a half millions. It is understood that at this session there will be no supplement- aries, or that they will be so small as to add little to the total of the main estimates. $5,850 appears in the esti- mates for repairs to the piers at Goder- ioh harbor.

Medicines of the old fashioned kind will sometimes reltevo the symptoms of disease. though they never touch the disease itself—they never cure. Ordln. ary medicines leave behind them indi- gestion, constipation and headaches, Purgatives leave those taking them feverish and weakened. On the other hand Dr. Williams' Pink Me do direct good to the body, the blood and the nerves. ' They fill the veins with new rioh blood; they tone and strengthen the nerves; they cure disease by rooting it, out of the blood. They always do good —they cannot possibly do harm. Mrs. George R. Wilson, Moncton, N. B., says:—"A few years ago after confinement I contracted a severe cold and although I took considerable .medi- cine, I got no better. In fact •• y con- dition was gradually gettin worse. I was all run down, had no • • petite and grew so weak that I co. d not do my housework. At last the • • dor who was attending me told my usband that I was going into a deo . and I feared so myself, for a sister h . died of consump- tion. When almost •• despair a friend suggested my taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I got half a Cozen boxes. Be- fore I had taken them all I began to get better. Then I got another half dozen boxes, and before I had taken them at - I was able to do my housework again and I was in better health than I had enjoyed for years, I believe Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills saved me from going into Consumption and I warmly reoom- mend them to every weak person." Sold by all medioine dealers or by mail at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brookville. Ont. oonditione. The Wingham delegation was composed of A. H.

WEST WAWANOSH The Agricultural hall was none too large last week to hold the policy hold- ers of the West Wawanosh FIre Insur- ance Co., who were on hand to hear the reports of the directors and of the audi- tors, and to select three directors, as also to dieones matters of general interest to policyholders. The Company eon• tines to make a good showing, having during the past year added some $1,100 to its reserve fund. Some present raised objections to the surplus being so high, some $12,000 all told. There is an un- fortunate lose of some 130 polioies dur- ing the year, as a result of the defeat last year of Mr. F. Anderson and Mr. Issao Fisher, these gentlemen getting even with the Company that turned them out by putting in their best work for some rival Company. 87.62 The Critical Age.

Toronto, Feb. 2—City Cattle Market -- A run Considerably heavier than was ex- peoted had the effects of putting the market a little on the down grade to- day, and prices for medium and light cattle went off from 20o to 25o. While the ohoioer cattle were not so mnoh affected, still the presence of a Iarge number of Cheaper cattle in the market acted as a drag to a certain extent on the ohoioe grade. For all that, buyers who were in the market for some of the choicer stuff found ibat that they could not buy much cheaper, if any, than last week. The run was 102 loads, with 2,000 head of Cattle, 864 sheep and lambs, and 188 calves, and 400 hogs. The following are the quotations: Exporters' cattle— Per 100 lbs.
