CUSTOMERS OUR SUPPORT'.
A lack of proper appreciation of public patronage is a fa,al mistake- by many business
-men, After years of strenuous effort to bring a business around them they have neglected it and subsided with a state of false security, aniaginlng that reverses will never
come and that the business will run alone, By -and -bye they wake up to the fact, that like Jonah's Gourd, their business has withered and that it is found impossible to revive it.
We feel that the customers are our support and that Eternal Vigilance is the price to be paid for success. We assure our friends that we appreciate the patronage bestowed upon, •

brother, was driving past VanEgmond's
woollen mill with a horse and road Dart.
The horse gob frightened and bolted to
the side of the road, and before the
driver could gain control of him, he
started up the aide street. The cart
came in contact With some object, and
both were thrown out. Mr. Hogg got
clear of the vehicle, but Mies Hogg's
clothes got caught on it in some way.
She was thus dragged over the rough
ground at a terrible rate of speed for a
oonsiderable distance, until the horse,
running foul of a post, fell down. Miss
Hogg was relieved from the vehicle as
soon ae possible, and medical aid sent
for, but, before the doctor arrived, she
was past all human aid. She was not
dead when found, but died a few J
minubes afterwards. Mr. Hogg was not
much hurt. The body was taken to the
residence of Dr. Scott, uncle of the de-
ceased, and the sad intelligence was soon
after conveyed to the parents and fatuity
by John Beattie, another unole, Klee 1
Hogg was a most estimable young lady,
and wan deservedly beloved byball who
knew her. The sad event was a terrible
blow to the parente, and was a aourme
of deep grief to her other relatives and
numerous Mende. Verily "in the midet
of life we are in death." The funeral
took pine on Saturday.
