penditures $2,894.80. The amount paid

was divided amongst the various socie-
ties as follows : Hullett, $81.35 ; Turn -
berry, $45.21 ; East Wawanosh, $89.46 ;

South Huron society's .board, the pre-
sident and vice-presidents were ap-
pointed a committee to consider a pro-
position from the former board for the
establishment of a county show, and
the abandonment of the riding shows.
In the discussion of the matter the
opinions expressed were almost entire-
ly against the feasibility of the pro-
posal. The retiring president, Mr.
James Connolly, received a very hearty
vote Of thanks for the able and con-
scientious manner in which he had
served on the board for several years.

of the association at Toronto on Feb.
14, to take action towards having the
resolution carried out. At a meeting
of the new board held at the close of the
annual meeting, James Mitchell and
H. L. Watson were re-elected secretary
and treasurer. It was decided to have
but two days fall show this year, and
the dates selected were Tuesday and
Wednesday, Sept. 25 and 26. The new•
hoard will meet again on Saturday,
Feb. 17, to begin revision of the prise
list.
COLBORNE TOWNSHIP SOCIETY.
The annual meeting of the Colborne
Agricultural Society took place at
Smith's Hill, pursuant to statute.
There was a fair turn out of members
and the business passed off very satis-
factorily. The annual report of the
directors was submitted to the meet-
ing and adopted, also the financial
statement of the treasurer, wIach
showed a balance of $12.49 or: hand.
The auditors, Messrs A. S. Gledhill
and Alex Young, also submitted their
report, which was adopted. The elec-
tion of officers for the ensuing year
took place with the following result:
President, John Tiffin; Vice Pres., W.
C. Potter ; Directors-Robt. Medd, John
Varcoe, T. Carroll, Jas. Glen, Thos.
Hamilton, Geo. Bean, Alex Young,G.
Young, R. Young; Auditors, A. S. Ged-
hill and Frank McDonagh ; Secy., J. A.
Varcoe ; Treas., Wm. Young. It was
decided to give each member either
the Farmers' Advocate or the
Stock Journal for the present
year free and to hold a number
of public meetings. This agricul-
tural Society concluded some years
ago that there were ,too many
fall shows, and therefore that
its funds could be spent with better
advantage to its members in some of
the many other ways laid down by law
for its use; so for the last two years
they have held a number of public
meetings addressed by Messrs Prof.
Shaw, Guelph ; Thos. McMillan, Con-
stance ; John Hannah, Seaforth; Thos.
Taylor, Lucknow and others, and have
also given each member each year one
year's subscription to some good agricul-
tural paper, and in addition to this dis-
tributed nearly $70 worth of seeds to
its metnbers. We hope that the far-
mers will take hold and give it their
cordial support, for in unity there is
strength. In a few days the directors
expect to call a public meeting in the
township hall to be addressed by an
able speaker on the Patrons of In-
dustry, and the benfits to be derived by
that order, with the object of starting
a club at Smith's Hill, of which the
public will receive due and timely
notice. -JOHN VARCOR, Secretary.

Last week the trustees of our school
went through the section getting the
names of the ratepayers to a petition
which they intend to present to the
County Council in the matter of the
Inspector- withholding the County
grant from our school. The Instector's
reason for withholding the grant is
the refusal of the trustees to engage an

rate -payers signed for one teacher and
ten for two teachers.

THE STORY OF AN OTTAWA BUSINESS
MAN.
AFFLICTED WITH DEAFNESS AND PAR-
TIAL PARALYSIS -OBLIGED TO GIVE
UP HIS BUSINESS ON ACCOUNT OF
THESE INFIRMITIES -TO THE SUR-
PRISE OF HIS FRIENDS HAS BEEN
FULLY RESTORED TO HEALTH.
From the Ottawa Free Prose.
Mr. R. Ryan, who is well-known in
Ottawa and vicinity, having been un-
til recently a merchant of this city, re-
lates an experience that cannot fail to
prove interesting to all our readers.
It is well-known to Mr. Ryan's ac-
quaintances that he has been almost
totally deaf since twelve years of age,
and that some time ago this affliction
was made still more heavy by a stroke
of partial paralysis. Recently it has
been noticed that Mr. Ryan has been
cured of these troubles, and a reporter
thinking that his story would be of
benefit to the community requested
permission to make it public, and it
was given by Mr. Ryan as follows: -
"In the fall of 1883, when I was about
twelve years of age, 1 caught a severe
cold in the head, which gradually de-
veloped into deafness, and daily be-
came worse, until in the month ofJuly,
1884, 1 had become totally deaf, and
was forced on account of this to leave
school. The physician whom I con-
sulted informed me that my deafness
was incurable and I concluded to bear
my ailments as well as I could. In
1889 I started a store about two miles
from Calumet Island, Que., but not
being able to converse with my pat-
rons on account of my deafness, I
found it ahnost impossible to make
business a success. However, things
were getting a little brighter until last
April when I took a severe pain, or
rather what appeared to be a cramp,
in my right leg below the knee. I was
then doing business in Ottawa, having
come to the city from the place above
mentioned. At first I gave no heed to
the pain, thinking it would disappear ;
but on the contrary it grew worse, and
in the course of a few weeks I had to
use a cane and could scarcely bear any
weight on my leg. I continued to go
about this way for two weeks, when a
similar cramp attacked my left arm,
and in less than two weeks, in spite of
all I could do for it I could not raise the
arm four inches from my body and I
found that the trouble was par-
tial paralysis. Judge my condition -a
leg and an arm useless, and deaf be-
sides. Being able td do nothing else, I
read a great deal and one day noticed
in one of the city papers of a man being
cured of paralysis.' by D}, WUliams
Fink ills, f immediately. began the
use of Pink Pills and before I had
finished the third box', I noticed it
curious sensatlan in my leg, and the
pill began to leave 11 excepting when
endeavored to walk. Well the ina-
provelnent continued, gradually ex-
tended to ala arm, anal, bythe time I
had completed the seventhboxmy leg
and arm were as well as ever and my
general health was much better.. And
now comea a stranger part of nay ex-
perience. I began to wonder why
people who were conversing with me
would shout so loud. Of course they
had always had to shout owing to my
deafness, but 1 was under the impression
that they were beginning to shout much
louder. After having bade them"speak
lower" several times, I enquired why
they still persisted in shouting, of
rather yelling at nie, and was surprised
to be informed that they were not
speaking as loud as formerly. This led
to an investigation and judge my ,joy
when I found that Pink Pills were cur-
ing the deafness which was supposed
to have been caused by my catarrh. I
continued the Pink Pills for a month
and a half longer, and I now consider
myself perfectly cured after having
been deaf for ten years. I can hear
ordinary conversation and am fit for
business, though I ant yet a little dull
of hearing, but this is not deafness, it
is simply dullness, the result of my ten
years inability to hear conversations,
which still leaves me with ap inclina-
tion • not to heed what is being said.
But •[ am all right and you may say
from nae that I consider Dr, Williams'
Pink Pills the best medicine known to
man, and that I shall he forever in-
debted to them for my renewed health
and strength.
Newspaper ethics usually prevent
the publication in the news columns of
anything that might ,be construed as
an advertisement, and thus much valu-
able information is suppressed that
might prove of incalculable benefit to
thousands. The praise of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills should he sung
throughout the land, they should he
familiar in every household, and news-
papers should unite in making them
SO.
An• analysis shows that Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills contain in a condensed
form all the elements necessary to give
new life and richness to the blood, and
restore shattered nerves. They are an
unfailing specific for such diseases as
locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St.
Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervous headache, the
after effects of la grippe, palpitation of
the heart, nervous prostration, all
diseases depending on vitiated humors
in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic
erysipelas, etc. They are also aspecific
for troubles peculiar to females, such
as suppressions, irregularities, and all
forms of weakness. They build up the
blood, and restore the glow of health
to pale and sallow cheeks. In men
they "effect a radical cure in all cases
arising from mental worry, overwork,
or excesses of any nature.
Dr. Williams' Pink ,Pills are manu-
factured by the Dr. Williams' Medicine
Company, Brockville, Ont., and Schen-
ectady, N. Y., and are sold only in
boxes (never in loose form by the
dozen or hundred, and the public are
cautioned against numerous imita-
tions sold in this shape) at 50 cents a
