Very True
Orangeville, I1i„ Courier says::—
Every newspaper treasures up iu its
memory the names of its . friends and
likewise its enemies. It seldom; if ever,
overlooks an opportunity to assist the
former, but never goes out of its way
to boost the latter. Human nature is
pretty much the same way everywhere.
People who show the newspaper man
kindness never make a better invest-
ment, or one that more surely pays
them a hundred -fold sooner or later.

Death or Miss Lottie Nay .tlicl:rt.
Death iu its cold grasp again snatch-
es another dear one from the family
circle of Mrs. Mary Jane hicks, Scarce-
ly had the emotions of her grief sub-
sided in the death of her beloved hus-
band, the late Andrew Hicks, when she
was again plunged into another sad
trial of paiu and affliction in the loss
of her 7 months' old' child, and now
again her only daughter, Lottie May,
who died on Thursday evening last,
at the ago of 19 years, 1 month and
15 days, Until a eomparatively short
time ago, Miss Hicks enjoyed fairly
good health, but contracted a heavy
cold which settled on her lungs, and she
grew slowly but surely wade until her
restoration was impossible. Hoping to
improve her condition some time ago she
went to Toronto and from every appear-
ance was greatly benefitted thereby, but
after her return home she slowly faded
away and in spite of all that could be
done for her by skill and tenderness
she sank to rest. She was of a lovable
nature, universally liked and admired,
and deep regret is expressed at her
death. The funeral took place from
the family residence, William street,
on Sunday last, conducted by the Rev.
Dr. Willoughby, and was largely at-
tended. The bereaved mother and
family have the sympathy of all in
their sad bereavement.
ltiarried At Last,
The Mitchell Advocate says: -The
young man of the 3rd concession of
Logan, who was so often disappointed
in marriage,: and who promised to join
the army of benedicts before the snow
fell, has kept his word, for to day
(Thursday) he was joined in wedlock
to a fine young woman of his own creed
and nationality. We admire his pluck,
and hope that his troubles are now at
an end, and the ADVOCATE extends to
him and his bride its heartiest congrat-
ulations, trusting that the union may
prove a happy one.
Typhoid Fever.
If careful enquiry were made, it
would be found that where typhoid
fever has broken out in the rural dis-
tricts, it can be traced to the drinking
of impure water. Many people are
very careless oT the supply of water
for their family and their animals.
They allow both sources to become
tainted, and then wonder why fevers
and bad health prevail. Cause must
follow effect, a man cannot drink from
a foul well and hope to forever escape
immunity from disease. He cannot
compel his cow to drink from a polluted
stream, and expect her to remain in
good condition and to give a satisfac-
tory sapply of milk.

The Ridgetown Plaindealer says:-

The London Advertiser says: -"The

An exchange says a well-known
minister recently told his congregation
what the live home newspaper did for
its locality. The eminent divine said :
"It tells you who is dead who is sick,
who is married, who is born, and many
other things you want to know, It calls
attention to public enterprise, advocates
'the best law and order in town. It
records the :marriage of your daughter,
the death of your son, the Wises of your
wife. It sets forth the advantages of
your own town and is the first to wel-
come newcomers. _.Yet in spite of all
these benefits, some say the papier is
often neglected by those wise ere bene-
fitted by it.

A klippen correspondent says.:—Much
surprise and also regret was felt among
our citizens on Monday morning when
it became known that the reaper of
death had visited our village and re
moved from our midst Mrs. James Gut•
lett, who passed away without the
knowledge of any one, not even her
husband, who was sleeping with her,
being aware of it. The deceased on
the previous Sabbath, had attended
Bible class and three services, and to
all appearances was enjoying the best
of health and on Sabbath evening, af-
ter putting things in order, retired for
the night, little thinking it was her last
night on earth. Her husband on his
awakening in the morning, spoke to
his wife and received no reply and his
feelings may be more easily imagined
than described upon his finding that
all that was dear to him on earth was
still in death, and to all appearance had
been for some time. The deceased was
born in Devonshire, England, in the
year 1822, coming to this country in
1868. She was married the same year
and settled in Exeter and has resided
in this vicinity ever since. She was
long a member of the Methodist church
and one who was very much interested
in divine things, being a great lover of
her Bible anal of God's house, So it may
be said, death did not find her unpre-
pared. Her remains were said away
on Wednesday in Baird's cemetery.
An aged:husband and one daughter
are left, and they have the sympathy
of the community. -

Dried A.pples.
Dried apples will be almost unsale-
able this year unless the farmers and
merchants give the strictest attention
to cut, color, and condition. Require-
ments are largo quarter -cut fruit,
bright color and dry. Discourage all
small sliced and ehippy stock. Posi-
tively reject everything dark, burnt or
wet. With careful attention given to
these requirements there is hope for a
considerable trade at vastly higher
prices than the 13• S. fruit returns. By
neglecting them, Canadian fruit will
be reduced to the U. S. level In quality
and price. It is quicker to cut fruit
large ,in quarters) than small, and as
easy drying bright as dark, it only re
quires, therefore, care on the farmers'
part and firmness on the merchants to
ensure them both, a profit as against a
loss, besides creating a superior reputa-
tion for Canadian dried apples,
e are in the Swirn

at right prices in all lines.
