WHAT DOES IT MEAN? "100 Doses One • Dollar" simply means that Hood's Sarsaparilla is the most economical medicine to buy, be- cause it gives more for the money than any other preparation. Each bottle contains 100 doses and will average to last a month, while other preparations, taken according to directions, are gone in a week. Therefore, be sure to get Hood's Sarsaparilla, the best blood pur- tier. Usborne. Farmers are looking for rain. Mrs. John Dew .who has been troub- led with cohjestioh of the lungs; is re- covering.

Quite an exciting game of football was played he,re on Friday evening between the Greenhorns,of MeG i y -ray, and the Would be Champions, of Eden. Game was called at 7.30, the Green- horns taking their first kick and with ft few passes made a swift run from Miller. The sphere was sent flying over the Eden goal keeper's head thus scoring one goal for McGillivray. Some of our club are very small men, and the Eden boys used thern a little rough. We thought by whatwe heard of the Eden boys that they were a fine lot of fellows, but they did not use us right. The game lasted. for one hour, but no more goals were taken. The score when time was called stood 1 to 0, in favor of McGillivray. The re. turn match will be played on Friday evening next. BalliPS:—Jack Downing, the MeGil- livray Sledger, is not to be'e trifled with as the Eden boys know to their sorrow. It was rare sport for a looker on to see, him spilling, the Eden Boys in a heap, and succeeded in tumbling a half a - dozen of them together, Our captain must have been ill for he WaS lying on the ground a groater part of the time.

Seaforth Collegiate Insti- tute only one year before going to the Universityand has been very success- ful at every examination since enter ing that institution. Our football team went to Eden on Saturday evening to play the return match with that club. As these teams are fairly well matched an interesting gine was expected and so it proved to be. The ChiSelhurst team started . out very lively and yeas not long in secar- ino. two goals and shortly after this thball waS passed down the field and one of Chiselburst's backs, by a slip, passed, the ball through the goal he was defeoding; thus making the first goal for Eden. The remainder of half time was taken up by pretty lively play in whieh. Eden secured another goal, 'Half time being called the play- ers, after a few minutes respite, return. ed to work with renewed vigor, but darkuess COITIbag CM play was suspen- ed before time was up leaving the score a draw. The boys were well pleased with their receptions and hope to soon meet again the Eden team up- on. the field. Biddulph Council, ,The council inet pursuant to ad- journmeat, June 1st, 1891.

In giving notice as we do from time to time of our leading places of busi ness and manufacturing inclustries,we call attention in this issue to the Wool- len Mills ot Mr. Robert Muir. That manufacturer, employer of labor, or purchaser of local raw material, who attends to his own trade, and increases its output of manufactories as well as money circulation in his own micIst,best advances the interests of a town. And these men seldom, as a rule, talk much. Starting businebs some seven years ago Mr. Muir has in hand a trade that is steadily growing,. Year by year his business has increased, both in the quantity of wool purchased and manu- factured goods sold. It is a low aver• age to Say that 500 lbs of wool are bought daily during the season and often the quantity runs over 1000 lbs. per diem. Few of our people know how varied the work done in the mill is. A laige number of blankets,heavy and light, fleecy and close clipped are disposed of, not only, locally but also for the retail and wholesale trade in Lon dor, from whence Mr. Muir has just re- turned with a large Fall order. Tweeds are made for the retail trade only, of neat patterns,both of stripes and cheeks ranging in price for 35 cents to $1.00. Yarn from the best Canadian wool as well as the lower grades is made in ev- ery imaginable color, from brilliant scarlet and purple, to the natural grey of the sheep. Hosie,ry and rag carpets are knitted and woven for the local trade. The knitting' machine, though Small in size, is a wonderfully compli- cated implement, represents the pati- ence and knowledge of some genius who felt as happy, doubtless, at his lin- ished work as any hero over a blood bought yietor3r. An interestnig artic- le is a counterpane, the only one of this pattern made hi Canada, we belieye, woven on a Scotch loom and neatly representing Melrose Abbey, Abbots- ford, Sir Walter Scott's monument in Edinburgh, with a border of Ilarp pattern can be woven on any priced counterpane and is 80 skillfully pictur- ed that anyone himilar with the objects eau tell its intention at a glance. A large business is done in custom spin g - ninon a machine manufactured in th;'United. Stat(!s, and this with the Scotch loem, described above, are the only machines in the mill not made in Canada. The twenty horse power en giite is from the Sheffield of Canada, (s'alt, and bears the well known name of Goldie and McCulloch, The 30 inch Roll Carding Maehine, tthe ayerage, is 24 inches) enables the 111111 to turn out a larger quantity than CQUII11011 of carded wool, a saving in. time and pat. retie° of both,ustorner and manufactur. cr. There are three o ther carding ma ch- ine,s making what is knownasaone,set mill, For spinning the customer tells the size of yarn wanted and his wool is spuu accordingly, As a large supply of yarn is coustzintly kept on hand Do delay hi the busy season need occur. Great care is taken in the room Where the wool is oiled to guard tigaiust fire, and water handy for quenchieg pui. poses is ou each (lat. Steam can also be forced in to drench and penetrate evers•thing within each, and the dan- ger from this destructive element is re. duced as much as possible. Spontane- ous combustion is a common danger and before Mr. Muir purchased the present mill, nearly made it a heap of ashes in the hands of its former owner. All industries are of interest to the in- dustrious, and though at first sight to the uniniated, the whole factury may seem but a mass of spindles, bobbins and taugled threadsthumping engines and clanking machinery, still a profit- able hour can be spent in looking over the Woollen Mill of Mr. Robert Muir, Exeter, . . COMMI13110at1011e To the Editor of the ADVOCATE, Drams Sm —I noticed an article in your issue of the 18th inst., it appears to be is ritten by some one somewhat assuming, after reading and care-. fully considering the matter contained therein. The inference is of this writer that he has a vast amount of pompo- sity, for by the way he expresses him- self, I think that he must think that extra abilities, it very Iarge brain, and above all to be excgedingdy well versed in theology. Just think of this scientific 'writer whose sudden appearance before the public makes him all the more con spicuous, just thinki of this wonderful personage and is only a boy yet, but he claims to be a Bethesda boy. Now I thought this boy with such amazing proportions, although they be only fan med ones, what might his imagin- ations grow into by the time he be- comes a man. Now would it be wise to let this boy writer go with a word of adyice or reproof, for such characters always get a following no matter what the consequence. Now I intend to deal with this boy as charitable as his cor- respondense will allow. When I first read the said article I thought that there was something singular about its composition, then I commenced to dissect it, I soon found that there was quite a discord or contradicticm. First he speaks of the persons that he makes the attest on, in the most disrespectful and degrading terms, then in the next sentence or so he call those despeca,ble characters whom he had spoken off with such abhorrence, spotless gentlemen, for he says one would naturally sup pose that gentlemen of their spotless character would have honor enough to apologize for accusing and affecting an innocent person, and he even says that he was expecting, for he searched through the, columns of the 'ADVOCATE in vain for an apology. What would you think of it witness put into the wit ness box to give evidence if he would say first the person whom he bear wit- ness against was a, thief and a black leg, then in the next sentence, he de dared that the same person was a good honest upright man. What would the judge and jury say of such a witness, of course the,y would say,that he was a fool of a fellow to go there to contradict himself. But you must remember this writer is only a boy,and it might be that he is like other boys, when they get in- to their teens think themselves smar- ter then the old folks, and this boy in the warmth of his zeal for his neigh - bon and because there were Some ot- hers who did not approve some of his neighbors in doing and did not choose to run on the same lines with him, Now this young boy may have thought to himself I will bring those old chaps to time, they will not run to my neigh bor, I will give them a plumper that will settle them allright. So he makes another strike, this time he hits one of the writers -vvith a charge of wracking his shallow contracted brains to pro duce the elegant epistle that he pen- ned, Now if a person with a, shallow contracted brain could produce an ele- gant epistlethia Bethesda boy,who most certainly prides himSelf of hay h g large brains and has utterly failed to pr0. duce an elegant epistle, but then you niust give allowance for his tender years though his braillS may be large they are soft yet, give them time to mature, Just a few words on his the o1ogy,110 Says that the individual whoin the shallow contracted brain Inaii pen- Cornucepia and a hunting scene. ThiS ned the elegant epistle for pretends to NO 212. be welt versed in the law and the pro pliets, but has some useful ideas on theology, that be seems to be laboring, under the delusion that soap will wasn out sins,that explains what has hither- to beeu a mystery, Daniels', why some people use so e,xtreenely little soap on their bodies, they are saving it all for their souls &eIt the commencement of his letter he uses the following hug-, uage,those curial uous squibs character- ised. more for vetiona than for any brain power exhibiting more of a spirit or mischievousness than a desire foi truth and right. Now this is very strong , language for it boy to make Ilse of, but his theology on the soap is far more absured, it is menu, low and detestable, It reminds me of the Pharisees of old,wha made an attack on Jesus because his disciples ate with unwashed hands. Jesus tells them its not that which goeth lute the mouth detileth man but that which eometh'out, defil- eth a man in another passage he ealls them bliud guides which strain at a vat and swallow a camel. Ile also. compares to whitened Sepulchres which iudeed apppear beautiful outward, but, ars svithin full of dead mens bones and olf all uneleaness, you can easily see, the two a,re synonymous, and the re- proof that Jesus gave the Pharisees quite applicable to this young writer.. At first I thought now -this self conceit- ed lad deserves to have the screws put right on and get a real good. handling, but when I considered his youthful- ness and probably he was away frons his mother and it might be that tines neighbor of his, that he takes so much. interest in, might have given hitn hint to write to the press, when I took all these things into consideration. I said to myself it would be a pity to, crush ths boy rigsht down ft possibly this might be his first effort and the height of this exultation hi dashed. in- to the field, but lacking good common, sense he must have taken his gage the size of his brains and making- no al- lowance for the soft condition they were in, so he wrote some soft things such as soap, disordered livers, bitter medicine &c. Now Mr. Editor my opia ion is that a little mild reproof and a kind word of advice i di be likely ±0 (10 this young boy more goocl than any thing else, for I like to See boys smart and active and imitate manliness, but when, they become presumptiuous. it is t1111. to put on a elect*, f":611....--v.-hile think it right to give them 'plenty of freedom, but at the same time they must not be allowed to insult old peo- ple, for this state of things is cruel to endure, when we take it into consider- ation what the old people have done and the privations and hardships they had in clearing the forest anil provid-- ing homes and building up the-institue dons and establishing schools all over the land which those boys have had or - are having the benefit off, and now be- cause they have had the advantage of schools and other favorable circurnstan ces and are entered into the labors or. their forefathers, they may well turn around and tell their old people that they have disordered livers. In con- cludiug6this letter Whitit I have written for the benefit I hope of this young boy, and to show my respect for the old folks. It is evident that this boy has, had the advantage of considerable: schooling'but I would remind him that . the way fame is not by the way of slander (a word whieh I use witit i.e. luctance) but there may be hope yet if he only gives heed and learns from ex- perience, as he grows to more mature years,he might even rise to emminence so as to take a position of trust. He. might even be capable for a schod teacher, but it would be a most unfor- tunate thing for a school teacher to write letters to the press of such a low mean eharacter,a person whose duty it is to teach the young not only in secu- lar things, out what -is of greater im- portanee, good morals. But if it is es- sentially needtul to take a shot at an. old person, be sure and use clean pow- der so that there will be no smell or stench lingering i around you after- wards. If this Bethesda boy wishes to try his hand again over his real name, mine will be forth coining. Thanking you Mr. Editor for so much space i0. your valuable paper, Yours &c. A MAN,. DmikuenS.
