"The Best is Yet to Be" was the
text of an excellent sermon, preached
in the James St. church, on Sunday
evening, by Rev. Dr. Medd, of Hensall.
He also preached in the morning. The

Rev. Oliver, of Listowel, but owing to
the sickness of Dr. Hannon, the pastor,
who was to have taken the Listowel
pulpit, Mr. Oliver was unable to be

Ways from the end,
The Formica, (Alberta.). Herald of Feb.
19th contains the following account of.
the death of Myrtle Jones, daughter
of Mr, and Mrs. Morley Jones, former
residents of McGillivray:—It is with
the most profound regret that we are
compelled to chronicle the death of
little Myrtle Jones, which occurred at
noon last Sunday, after an illness of
only three days with scarlet fever.
Little Myrtle was the idol of her fond
parents and her death comes as a
crushing blow to their aching hearts.
For almost eight years she had been
their only child and their affection had
become as only the truest of parents
have for their children. She was born
in McGillivray township, Ont.,_. March
21, 1890, being eight years old had she
been spared nail next month. Ari
vate funeral was held Tuesday after-
noon and the remains of the little one
were tenderly laid away in Forest
Hoene 0,1
cemetery. The heart -broken
parents have the deepest sympathy of
the community in their hour of ber-
etreeMent

Gambling at lairs. '
To further prevent gambling at fairs
Mr. Dryden will introduce in the Leg-
islature a bill empowering any con-
stable or peace officer to immediately,
seize, without warning or notice, any
"devices or instruments" used by any
person in connection with gambling or
games of chance. The constable may
also arrest on sight, without a warrant
the person running the same games
and take him before the nearest mag-
istrate having jurisdiction, who may
flue or imprison him and order the
destruction of the instrument seized.
Under the present act it has been pos-
sible for fakirs, with the exertion of a
little tact and foresight, to evadethe
law,, owing to the fact that it was
necessary for constables to obtain war-
rants before taking any action.
Accidents.
Mr. John Pedler, of Stephen, met
with a painful accident on Saturday
last which will confine him to the
house for some time. He was house-
ing bis cattle when one of them kicked
him with such force as to dislocate his
knee joint. Aid was summoned r and
the dislocation reduced under chloro-
form, by the aid of neighbors. -On
Monday last while Tommy, son of Mr.
Wm. Quinten, of Usborne, was feeding
horses, one of them kicked him in the
face, inflicting bad gashes and dislodg-
ing three teeth. Two of the teeth
were replaced, while the other could
not be found. A surgeon dressed the
wounds which required several stitches
to close and the boy is now doing
nicely.

DEAR SIR AND MADAM.—The Muni-
cipal Council, of the Village of Exeter,
beg to express to yourselves and fam-
ily their heartfelt sympathy in this
your hour of trouble and sadness. We
believe that we not only expressthe
feelings of this Board, but of the citi-
zens at large, that it was with feelings
of sorrow and regret that we heardof
the deplorable accident that befel your
wlaughter, Miss May, at London, on
Monday last. We know that we can-
not fully comprehend what this affiic-
tion means to all of your family, much
less to your daughter, May. Accidents
of this kind are always attended with
sorrow, but more especially so when
it occurs to those who are in the bloom'
of youth, with all all the bright pros-
pects of life in view. We hope that
yourselves and family will accept this
vote of sympathy in the spirit in which
it is given, and that you will convey
to your daughter, May, the sincere
sympathy of this Board, with the hope
that she will be speedily retnrned'to
her wonted bealtit. and home.
Signed on behalf of the Oouncil,.

To the Value of English Stoat Food,
T find the English Stock Food splen-
did for my cows, pigs and chickens, I
had a cow that was very thin and gave
very poor milk. I fed English Stock
Food during the summer and I found
the milk far more rich and the cow
gained in weight and gave more milk.
For young pigs it is excellent. It
will make the poorest pig in the litter
grow equal to the most healthy.

than even before and their health is
much better. This so good that: want
