speaks . volumes for the integrity
of the Management and the straight

LOVE'S VICTORY.
City life undoubtedly has its at-
tractions over country life to many,
and itis not oftwn that young
ladies -who leave the farm for
positions in the city, voluntar=ily
return to the country. But when
love is the magnet, nothing can re-
sist its' drawing power. Dameru=

ular young lady from Hullett, at
present employed in Toronto, may
shortly return to the plane of her
birth as the bride of a prosperous
and popular young farmer.
