Clinton, June 23rd, 1898. Forest Ilouse. Miss Downs, of St,. Thomas, visited at Mrs. Geo. Brownlee's last week. Miss Ida Bennett and Mr. William Jamieson, of Alma, called un friends here this week. Mr. D. Robb, P.S.I., paid No. 9 a visit and as usual found everything satisfactory. This argues well for our teacher and trustees. We are sorry that the county council did not see tit to give back the lots that were taken from No. 9 and given to No. 2. The pupils attend No. 9 and the property is assessed in No. 2. This does not seem fair, but the children did not wish to walk twice the distance. Everybody here is talking of taking in the monster picnic and football match in Depot Park, Kippen, on Sat- urday. They expect a big time. Mr. Patterson wheeled to his home in Bayfield and back the other even- ing. Picnics to Bayfield pass through here daily now. They seem to like the lake breezes. The gramophone will give comic songs, speeches, cornet solos, selec- tions from Sousa's band, etc., etc., from the varandah of the Rectory next Monday evening. Kipper'. .Mr. Smillie had a large barn raised last week. This improves the look of the farm very much. Some of our sports went to Clinton Monday evening to see the football match. The "Shamrocks" of ltiippen held a meeting last week and elected the fol- lowing officers : Hon. Pres, ---T. N. Forsyth. Pres, -J. Balfour. Sec,-Treas.-D. Bell. Captain. -T. H. Brownlee. Exec•uti.,e Cownaiittee-S. Mcb'fordie, T. Doig, J. McKay. The terata decided to contest for the "Crawford Cup" now held by Dublin. .At the close of the tweeting the officers retrained and de- cided to hold a wionster picric and and football tnatcli. The programme will consist of races, tug-of-war, jump- ing, vaulting, putting shot, and other athletic sports and plenty of swinging. Refreshments of every des- ct iptton will 'be served as there is to be a booth on the grounds. All are wel- come, providing you bring a basket with some provisions in it. The corn. is sparing no pains to snake this the grandest of the grand events ever held' in Kippen. Mr. E. Cudnlore, who has been in Thorndale for some time, returned last week, ea,- - Collins' 3 y� but waw recaptured. He is a religious fanatic, and gives the peni- tentiary authorities some trouble, Is It The Same In Huron? Going to county council is not what it used to be," sorrowfully remarked one of the members who returned from the. June session on Saturday to the Ridgetown Dominion. "How is that?" inquired' the Do- minion. "Why, there is only fourteen of us there now and half of them go home every night. Those who remain are divided between the hotels, and Chat- ham is a pretty dull plane in the evens inge. In the old days when the mem- bers numbered from thirty to thirty, six we used to divide up principally be- tween two hotels, and in the evenings the reading rooms and corridors were always filled with councillors, friends and visitors discussing council matters, county and general politics. Many hot old political arguments occurred, inter- rupted only when we adjourned to the bar for a cigar or a little something else. Yes, most of the oldtimers took a glass, but soarcely ever too much. They drank or took a smoke merely to be sooiable,. but were always ready for busi- ness either at the council board or on committee. The new -men as a rule are quieter and more retiring -the old- timers had more of the "bail fellow," jovial style about them, ready with joke, song or story, as to the occasion seem ed fit. How we did enjoy the occasion% al tilts between one and another, es- pecially about election time. Kent oounty council bas contained a great deal of good timber, many of its mems bers fit to take a plaoe either at Toron- to or Ottawa. The present -men are clever enough and do the business all right, but,somehow, they are not like the old fllows who used to meet there times a year at Chatham, before the change in the law." TWO WARNINGS. Losing flesh is one and a hacking cough is another. If they come to• gether the warning is a loud and hard one. Scott's Emulsion does some of its best work in just these cases, It pre, vents conaumpion. Tho American War Taxes. The estimate of the Chicago Times - Herald that Chicago's share of the war tax which is about to be levied by Con- gress, will amount to over $63,000,000, gives one an idea of what this war is costingand .ill cost the United States. A NeYork paper put it that the war is costing a million and a quarter a day as it goes, and employs this as a hurry -up argument. The new revenue bill is a searching one, It strikes most heavily, of Course at beer, tea and tp- baceo-those favorites with tax levying governments -but, it goes much farther afield. Bank stock is to be taxed and so are hank surpluses ; while bank cheques will cost two cents each and securities one cent for every $100 in value. Then there are to be taxes on brokers, pawn -brokers, amusement halls, circuses, bowling alleys, billiard tables, insurance policies of various kinds, telegraphed messages, telephone tolls, seats infpar1or cars and Korth, in Sleeping care patent medicines, lega- cies, propriottory articles, and various other things. West 'ruckersr'lith. Rev. Mr. Findlay hid farewell on Sunday last. Mr, Murch, of the Lot, - don Road, will supply next Sunday. Mrs. Geo. Crich returned home last Saturday after a lengthy visit with friends in the city of the Straits. Mr. William Bowes, of Markdale, and Miss Mattie Bowes, of Strath - main, were the guests of Mrs. F. Lay- ton the past. week. A number of the young people of the London Road picnicked at Bay- field last Saturday and report having a pleasant time. Miss Pepper, of Mitchell, is visiting friends in this locality. Mr. and Mrs, and Miss Sandric•h, nt Ingersol, are the guests of Mr. F. W. Cr ieh. Mr. Thos, Waldron has lately put in a cream separator ou his large dairy fam Onr.e of those pretty scenes took place et the residence of Mr. George Nott on Wednesday afternoon last where his daughter Eva was united in the bonds of matrimony to Mr. Newton Crich in the presence of a large number of invited guests. The wedding presents were pretty and nurnetous. Rev, Mr. Clement tied the nuptial knot. We wish the young couple a pleasant voy- age down life's stream. Seaford'. Rev. S. Bond, who has been pastor of the Methodist church here, preach- ed his farewell sermon on Sunday evening last. Mr. Bond's new field of labor is Ridgetown for which place he will leave next week. The Rev. Mr. Millyat•d will occupy the pulpit next Sunday and the following Sunday. Mr. Rev. Russell, the new pastor, will begin duty here. A large number from town went up to Goderich to hear Godfrey's band. Messrs. Baldwin and Morrison have been engaged to perform in Meaford on Dominion Day. Our "Hi ave Defenders" left for camp on Tuesday where they will tetnain for 12 days. The 33rd Batt. Band accom- panied then,. No one should miss the two lacrosse matches hereon Dominion I)ay. First game between Stratford and Beavers II second game between St. Catherines and Beavers 1. Along with these two games a programme of other s; orts Is is being arranged so that a good day's sport is expected. J. 5. Welsh; Jas. Marshall and B.

They buy and take it for simple as well as serious ail- ments, confident that it will do them good. HOOD'S PILLS cure all liver ills. Mailed for 25o. by C. I.
