Clinton;;' The Spooner farm, consist- ing of 33 acres, just' on the northern boundary of the town, has been sold to Will H. Cole, of the 15th eon , Goderich township who secured ,it at a reason- able figure; Mr'. Beattie, who has had the farm under, lease, relinquishes his claim for a consideration, and lose the power of contracting. After that occurs clear sight beyond a few feet is lost -probably forever. If noticed and remedied in time, com- plete rest to the eye may restore the normal functions of the over -strained muscles. Children do not notice the in- creasing inability to see and atteution is generally Galled to it by teachers having to move the child from a back to a front row of seats. Very often at this stage the power of good vision is forever lost, It is becoming* a question of which is to go: school blackboards or children's eyesight. It shcu:d not be hard to de- cide which is of the most value. The question is becoming serious. Teachers, trustees, parents and guardians, sbould carefully considerer the subject and if observation justifies the contention that blackboards are a serious menace to the eyesight of the school generation, then decided steps should be taken at once to abate the e% '1. Free discussion of this subject will ea much good. Yours, etc. Exeter, April 4, 1898. J. A. R. Bayfield : Mr. Peter McIntosh, of the River Hotel has tired of the busk. ness and swapped the property for a farm up near Pincerdiue.

A few days before he had pared a corn pretty close and put a new pair of black socks on, not: thinking that follow. The e 9 would to dye serious results in the socks poisoned his foot, which on ly caused; a slight soreness' at first, but kept getting worse until it was 'teem sary for bin to go to bed at his board ing house. Gettimg worse it was deem- ed advisable to bring him here, which was done accordingly, and he has since been under medical treatment at the home of Mr. John McMurray, For a time his condition was Lritieal and on Monday it 'was found necessary to open his; leg, which gave relief and although not yet entirely out of danger, his con dition is much improved. alae �IIIA.RnixfaE13.
