are being erected, thus indicating,
that for the present, Walkerton will
he the terminus of the line. The C.
P. R. have definitely announced that
no new lines will be commenced in
Ontario this year,
-The new church shed at St. Augus-
tine, which was started last fall but
was not finished on account of cold
weather setting in so soon, was corn-
pleted last week. It is 110 feet long
by 52 feet feet wide and is built on a
cement foundation. Joe Flynn did
the carpenter work, assisted by J.
Boyle, G. McGuire and B. Brophy.
—Last Wednesday was supposed to
have been the wedding:day of a couple
of young Barrie people. As the time
for tying the pnptial knot approached,
the prospective groom experienced
the discomforts of the present financi-
al stringency. After one or two un-
successful efforts to negotiate a loan,
he finally appealed to the object of his
affections for the price. She, unhap-
pily, was in a similar state of bank-
ruptcy, but her credit being good, she
had no trouble in securing an advance
of $8. This amount aho handed to her
prospective husband, anticipating, of
course, that he would appear the fol-
lowing morning, when the marriage
would take place and they would live
"happily ever afterwards. During
the night he changed his mind, and
neither he nor the $8.00 performed
their allotted duties.—Barrie Gazette.
—Work has been commenced on the
construction of the Ontario West
Shore Electric Railway between God-
erich and Kincardine. Preliminary
surveys, plans and estimates, have
been made and the contract'let, and
Engineer Roberts with a gang of en-
gineers is now laying out the work be-
tween Goderich and Amberley and be-
tween Amberley and Kincardine for
the contractors, who are expected on
the ground shortly. Within a few
weeks construction will he in full
blast. It is expected that it will take
a year or more to complete the road
between Goderich and Kincardine and
have it in full running order. Later
it is the intention, we understand, to
branch out to Stratford 'and London,
as well as to extend north and south
to Owen Sound and Sarnia respective-
ly. It is understood also that the de-
velopment of power on the Maitland
'river, which is allied with the electric
railway project, is to be proceeded
with this summer.
What The Kidneys Do.
What Booth's Kidney Pills are Doing
for Wingham, Ont. People.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys every three Lnin-
utes.
The Kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day to daily
remove about 500 grains of impure
matter. If they fail, some part of this
impure, matter is left in the blood,
bringing on pain in the back, head-
ache, dizziness, irregular heart, hot,
dry skin, rheumatism, gravel, dropsy,
deposits in the urine. Booth's Kidney
Pills make the filtering right and over-
come Kidney trouble. Hundreds of
Huron County residents have found
this out.
Geo. Fretwell, of Minnie end Vic-
toria sts., Wingham, Ont., says :—"A
dull, heavy pain had settled across
the small of my back from hip to hip.
There was a soreness and tenderness
there that would cause me to suffer
both night and day. There was an
unusual scalding' in passing the urine
and it was• filled with sediment of a
high color. I had used so many differ-
ent remedies and found no relief that
I had begun to think nothing would
benefit my condition. Booth's Kidney
Pills were advertised turd Irocured' a
box at Mr. McKibbon's Pharmacy.
They dict me -so rnnch good t continued
the treatment and the second box
had entirely cleared the urine and
taken away the scalding. My back
strengthened and the pain left it. The
rheumatism with which I have suffer-
ed for o$er four years has also been
greatly relieved and I am stronger and
bet ter than in years previous and can
only thank Booth's Kidney Pills."

At its last regular meeting the
Village Council received a sort of
ultimatum from Mr. Green of the
Electric Light Co. Ile notified the
Council that if terms were not agreed
upon by May lst, he would after that
date charge at the rate of $800 per
year for the street lighting service as
at present given. The Council made
him an offer of $550 per year, but
Mr. Green has not:accepted this. The
Council is unanimous in thinking $800
too high a figure to pay and Mr. Green
has therefore been notified to discon-
tinue the street lighting service.

A rumor is current to the effect that
Mr. Andrew Porter, late manager of
the Sovereign Bank, Goderich, and a
well known Olintonian, may take an
intet•e'st in the Goderich Star. Mr,
Porter is a practical printer, having
spent some years at the business, and
he would make an exceptionally able
and popular newspaper man.
Mr. Jonathan ,Brown, who has been
living at Holmesville for some time,

of the County, many years ago. Of
the ten, three were ministers of the

tioning instances of old and well-

13111 Foster, of town, had reached the

But even this is beaten by Mrs. Thos.
Walker, Huron road, Hulled, who has
a pen knife that has been in her pos-
session for over 60 years. If nnetone
can go better than this we would be
glad to hear from them.
On Friday evening last, Mr. W. T.

Bees are about the only thing on
earth that work for nothing, board
themselves and pay for. the privileges
of living. The fawner who' does not
keep bees is living beneath Itis privi-
leges.
After your potatoes are out of
bloom mow the tops off, but not too
close, and see if you don't have the
finest and most ibountifid crop you
ever had, This is an Irish kink from
a potatoe grower of 'Washington
county, The idea is that thetops
have done their duty after blooming.
Try a few. `
No farm work 'pays better than
spraying the trees, berry bushes and
grape vines. Attention to this matter
at the proper time assures immunity
from insect enemies and good crops of
perfect fruit are the results. Don't
spray fruit trees while the bloom is
on for that kills bees, and bees are
valuable assistants in pollenizing
fruits, A spraying outfit for the farm
need not be large and costly, and will
save its own value the first year it is
used.

get this fall, Every farmer realizes
the necessity of having more manure,
and one way to secure it is by provid-
ing an abundant supply of absorbing
material. Even if there appears to be
a large proportion of this material in
the manure, making it strawy and
coarse, it can be plowed under and
will answer an excellent purpose.
Every effort should be made to secure
all the manure that is made on the
farm, so that nothing shall be lost.
This manure, properly applied on the
meadows, should be worth $1per two -
horse load in the extra amount of hay
that will thus be secured from its use,

examinations with honors. He is now

We are pleased to note that Miss
Dahlia Graham, daughter of Mr. R.
Graham of town, stood, second in
honour at the Easter examinations of
the Kindergarten Institute held in
Toronto.
Thursday of last week Robt. McGil-
livray had delivered to him at his
farm on the sixth concession five miles
from Lucknow, a disc harrow, and on
Friday he purposed putting the imple-
ment into practical use. Having
taken his team, which are a team of
very spirited animals, to the field,
he proceeded to hitch them to the
disc harrow. In this he was but part-
ly successful; while next the tongue,
attaching the tugs, the team became
unmanageable and in his efforts to
check their onward movements the
lines broke, and at the same time he
was knocked to the ground with the
result that the harrow passed over his
entire body, inflicting many cuts and
bruises. Tour ribs were broken from
the spine. Though Mr. McGillivray's
injuries are 'of a serious and painful
nature, the attending physician has
every hope of his recovery.
