young girls who have pains and
sickness peculiar to their sex, to
use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound.
How many beautiful young girls de-
valop into worn listless and hopeless
wonien, simply because sufficient atten-
tion has not been paid to their physical
development. No woman is exempt
from physical weakness and periodic
pain, and young girls just budding into
womanhood should be carefully guided
physically as well as morally. Another
woman, '
Bliss Hannah E. Mershon, Col-
lingswood, N.J., says:
"1 thought I would write and tell
you that, by following your kind ad-
vice, I feel like a new person. I was
always thin and delicate, and so weak
thati could hardly doanything. Men-
struation was irregular.
"I tried a bottle of your Vegetable
Compound and began to feel better
right away. I continued its use, and
am now well and strong, and men-
struate regularly. I cannot sayenough

WEDDINGS. --Two very pretty wed-
dings were solemnized. in St. Peter's
Catholic church, Sauble Line, during
the past few days. The first to take
place was that of Mr. William Badour
and Miss Flora Leney which was cele-
brated on Saturday morning, the in-
teresting Ceremony being performed
by the Rev. Father Loiselle. The
bride who was very daintily attired
was assisted by the Misses Seraphine
Badour and Aro:lane Papineau, who
were also very becomingly gowned.
The groom was ably supported by Mes-
srs. Jerry Corriveau and Ed Badour.
As Mr. and Mrs. Badonr are very pop.
ular throughout this township their
many friends join in wishing them a
life of peace and prosperity. -The oth-
er wedding which occurred on Mendity
morning at 7.30 was of a pleasing na-
ture, the COD tracting parties being Mr.
Louis N. Denomie and Mrs. Virginie
'Woods. The happy couple were sup-
ported by Miss Matilda Denornie and
Mr. Julius Ducharrce, while the nup-
tial knot was securely tied by Rev.
Father Loiselle. That Mr. and Mrs.
Denomie may be endowed with the
choicest blessings is the wish of their
many friends here.
Many grain men from the United
States have arrived. at Winnipeg to
investigate the reports about rust in
the wheat. Several representative
farmers state that there is very little
damitge caused by rust yet.

BARN BURNED.-Doring the storm
about 11 o'clock on Monday night of
last week,a barn on the 3rd concession,
belonging to John Sproat, was struck
by lightning and burned. Fortunate-
ly the barn did not contain much crop.
Several tons of bay and some oats were
consumed, which were stored in it, be.
to J. B. McLean. The barn
was a good one and the loss to Mr.
Sprout will be considerable. The barn
ing of a barn is now a serious loss to
farmers, as the price of material has
advanced 56 per cent. and in some
cases 100 per cent., and It will only be
a short time before they will have to
considerably increase the amount of
their insurance.

Mr. W. Robb, of Clinton, experienced
a stroke of paralysis, his spine being
affected. Not recovering, and it being
evideut that great care would he re-
quired in his case, his brother, John
went to Denver for him and he is now
resting comfortably at his home here,

valid chair. His wife and only son
are also visiting here. Although he
feels better since he came east, he is
in a critical condition, a fact his old
