•
Do not practice false economy in the purchase
of spectacles and eye•glasses. If a prescription
be taken to a di uggiet to be filled it is not hand-
ed in with the request that the cheapest drugs
may he used, although, perhaps, the medicine
required is for some trivial ailmentonly. Why.
then, should so light an estimate be placed PP -
on the most precious of all the He see, that
those who can and do afford extr v
useless or at least unnecesxsary lu uries should

'AN OLD SAYING.
There is an old saying that is often
called into use at this season of the
year especially that if there in a
heavy ceop of nuts it will be followed
by a hard winter. If there is any
truth in this .prophecy people had bet-
ter look up their supply of fuel for
rarely has there been such an abun-
dance of huts, especially butternuts,
quantities of which have already been
secured by some of. our townspeople.
it is :estimated that over fifty bagsful
have been brought to town and the
supply is. not yet nearly exhausted.
1400 ACRES AND 8 SONS,

John Cenoinghame, apeaking of the
*abundant wheat crop in Manitoba in -
Stances the case of one man, a • Mr. •
Thomas, whose property adjoins. that

having eight grown -up ions of his own
and he also owns and operates his
ewn threshing machine and hasfour
teams haulingthe wheat tothe eleva-
tors at Hartney. They carry' sixty
five bushels per . tripand .make fuer
