' A PIONEER, GONE. -An old resident
of•Usborne, in tile person of Mr, John

ada and after a brief stay in Toronto

South Huron Farmers' Institute
The annual meeting of the South
Huron Farmers' Institute was held ab
Scott's hotel, Hensel', on the 7th inst.
There was a fair attendance. The
chair was taken by the vice-presideut,
Donald McInnes, of Exeter.
The report of the directors showed
that good work had been done
during the past year, The regular In -
saute meetings had. been mare large-
ly attended than previously, while the
suppleraentary meetings, despite an -
favorable eveether, were also well -at-
tended and inberesting. The finances
are in it very satietentory condition,
The expenditure for the year amount-
ed to $107. 85, and there is a balance in•
the treasuryof $271.73.
Mr, R. R McLean, of Tuckersexiith,
brought up the question of the erec-
tion. of wise fences on all the leading
roads so as to prevent the drifting of
the roads wibh snow during the win-
ter. His suggestions were approved of
very generally by tbe /sleeting and. a
resolution was passed asking the muni-
cipal councils to afford every possible
encouragement to have wire fences
erected on either side of the leading
roads and to have board and rail fences
removed. It would pay councils to
give liberal aid to private individuals
to have this improvement carried out.
It has been abundantly, proven by ex-
perience that roads with wire fences
are much less liable to drift and be-
come impassable frornsnow than roads
with board or rail fences. Ib is hoped,
therefore, that thq suggestions of the
Institute in this nienter will be very
generally acted upon by .nvani.cipal
councils.
The following were elected directors
for the current year :,1. B McLean,
A, G. Smillie, Robt. McLaren, Tucker -

VALUABLE ADVICE TO RHEU-
MATICS.
Eat meat speringlyand take very
little sugar. Avoid intoxicants, keep
away from dampness, drink Water
abandantly, and always rely on Ner-
viline as a .quick relief of Rheumatic
pains. Being five times stronger these
ordinary remedies, Nerviline's power
over pain is simply beyond belief. It
cures also Sciatica, Lumbago, Neural-
gia. and all pain, whether internal or
external. Large bottles, Price, 25c,
Stores will be Closed Thursday, June 26th, Coronation Day.
