Ox x i<adang the account of the efforts
of the Perth Historical Society to place
on record the history of the pioneers of
their county, and government, munici-
pal and educational, it must have occur-
red to many that a similar action should
be .taken in reference to our own county,
Huron. There lives to -day in every
town, township, village and hamlet a
few first settlers. Another decade and
the grim reaper will have gathered his
harvest, There history win be buried
in au oblivion, hidden among the for-
gotten memories of the past. The value
of au opportunity that has been lest will
then be realized. The present is the
time to act. The county council should
take initiative action. Municipal
councils should follow, and teachers
preachers and the people in general
should assist to the fullest extent of their
opportunities. There is not a paper in
the county that would not delight in
giving space to such an interesting and
valuable subject. We have in mind a
few persons whose knowledge of early
days would be of great worth to history
hunters. William Linklater of East
Wawanosh,Robert Currie of East Wawa -
nosh. His perfect memory and accur-
acy of fact snake him doubly desirable.
Peter Fisher and Mrs. Flack of Wing -
ham. Abram Jackson of Morris an
early settler of East Wawanosh. John
Burgess of Bluevale, William McPherson
of Tnrnberry, George Harris of Wrox-
eter. These are only a few, Many
others are known to our readers. We
would receive with muck pleasure any
comments on the suggestion offered in
the foregoing.
THERE has been much hue and cry
among pulpit and some pe* circles over
the atter lack of religious training in
public schools. Many lamentations have
been heard from this brother and that
from end to end of the land that more
efforts were not expended in the direct-
ing of the spiritual welfare of the pupils.
l As the law stands to -day till religious
instruction must be given after school
on an. afternoon definitely appointed.
Vets it appears has not been enough.
We feel positive that it is not enough to
satisfy the desires of the more earnest
members of churches. Yet it has prov-
ed to be a more satisfactory allotment of
time than most spiritual advisers care to
avail`t'hemselves of. There are a few
schools that are visited regularly bymin-
isters or any one else whose business it
is to instruct on right methods of living
or to read and explain the Bible. Many
schools are visited perhaps once a year,
some never. At the recent St. Mary's
Conference a reverend gentleman
thought fit to make a motion to the effect
that ministers should be urged. to pay
special attention to visiting and giving
religious instruction in ourPnblic Schools
as now provided for in the school regu-
lations. Between those lines one rune
ning may read a fact that applies to cler-
ical lights of all denominations. Just
here the question of Sunday Schools
comes to mind. In reviewing the work
in Presbyterian churches during the year
the Presbyterian Review says: -

ASSERTION AND CONTEAI)ICTIO:1.
In the House of Commons last week
the member for East Grey, Dr. Sproule,
in replying to a speech of Dr. Macdonald
asaid:
"Let me tell the House, that at the
present time there is a public work going
on at Owen Sound, and the dredge (No.
9) has been doing certain work there. It
has been doing it for the last three years
to the tune of $80 a day. Now, who are
the owners of that dredge? I have the
names here: E. H. Horsey, physician, of
Owen. Sound, a sou -in-law of the hon.
mnember for East Huron; Lelia A.
Horsey, daughter of the hon. member
for East Huron; Maggie Macdonald,
spinster, of Wingham, an unmarried
danghtef of the hon, member for East
Huron; and .A.. G. McKay, Crown at-
torney of Owen Sound. Will any hon.
gentleman, who knows the family, tell
me that the hon. member for East Huronr
ever gave his daughtersa dollar to invest
in anything of the kind? The hon.
gentleman is profiting to -day by the
work done there under government
smthority, and is only evading the In-
dependence of Parliament Act, by using
the name of his daughter:" . .
Dr. Macdonald gave the statement an
-anquelified denial, He declared that he
as not interested either directly or in-
ueajly, in any dredge contract, and
that the statement was literally and ab-
solutely untrue. Dr. Sproule got out'of
the dilemma by stating that he was
nnisreported. Dr. Mxudonaid asked him
to be kind enough to withdraw his state-
aanents. He withdrew.
No doubt Dr. Sproule was actuated in
this attack by the warm atmosphere of
the House the day previous'to his accus-
ation. Dr. Macdonald was speaking at
the time on the Conservative gifts of
timber limits. He got so far as to say:
"That was the time when the hon.
'urember for East Grey made applications
for limits for himself and his friends-"
Here Dr. Sproule broke in a denial in
the middle of a half -finished sentence.
The Doctor, Foster, Mr. Speaker, Field-
ing, Dr. Sproule, McMullen, Gibson,
Chariton and some others took word
about. Dr. Macdonald endeavored to ;
'utter an important modification as he '
had at first intended. Foster bantered
]rim to withdraw. He finally did so.
Elis statement when completed read:
"The hon. member for East Grey made
an application for timber limits for self
and friends as stated in an official report
brought down to this House," That
statement could not be denied.
We believe that the honesty of the
Conservative press of the riding will not
permit it to print Dr. Sproule's accusa-
tion without also publishing Dr. Mac-
donald's denial, and the 'consequent
withdrawal of Dr. Sproule.

health shown in their cheeks, thebright-

Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People.
There are a, few girls in the first years of
womanhood who do net suffer more or
less from anaemia. We see them every-
where,
very-whore, and they are easily recognized
by a sallowness of 'complexion, or per-
haps extreme pallor, they are subject to
headaches, dizziness, palpitation of the
the heart, and feel tired and worn out
on the least excertion. To those who
suffer in this manner Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills offer speedy and certain relief.
Proof of this may bo had in our own
town. Miss Lizzie Smith, daughter cf
Mr. Wm, Smith, is to -day the embodi-
ment of health and activity, yet not so
long ago her friends feared that con-
sumption had fastened its fangs' upon
her: A representive of the Star recent-
ly interviewed Mrs. Smith as to the
means employed to restore her daughter's
health. Mrs. Smith's unhesitating re-
ply was that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
were entitled to the oredit. Mrs, Smith
said: "My daughter is nineteen years
of age. For many years she has not
been very strong and -was subject to
sick headaches. Last summer she went
to work in an establishment in Paris,
and had not been there long when her
health grew much worse. She consult-
ed a doctor there who said that her
blood was in such a bad state that the
trouble was likely to develop into con-
sumption, and on hearing this Lizzie at
once returned hom. When we saw her
we feared she was in a decline. She
suffered very much from headaches;
was as white as chalk. with dark
under her eyes and the eyes s
Her appitite was very fickle

did not care
ot. I decided to
give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which I
heard were so highly recommended in
cases like here, a trial. She had only
taken the pills for a couple of weeks
when we could see =improvement. By
the time she had used a couple of boles
her appetite was much improved, her
headaches less frequent, and the spirit
of depression passed away. Four;; boxes
more fully restored her health, and to-
day she is as well and • as active as
though she had never had a day's illness.
I really thinly Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
saved her life, and believe they are
worth their weight in gold to girls saf-
feing as she did."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make rich,
red blood, strengthen the nerves, bring
the glow of health to pale and sallow
cheeks, and make the feeble and des-
pondent feel that life is once more worth
living. Genuine are sold only in boxes,
the wrapper bearing the full name "Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People."
