NOTES AND COMMENTS
The mineral production of Ontario
last year made a tremendous leap and
established a new mark. the total valve
being $32 652 072. an increase of no less
than $7,014 455 over the figures for 1908.
$5,637.617, which was the highest hither-
to recorded. Of the precious metals,
the production was 2,042 ounces of gold,
valued at $32,445, and 25,737,037 ounces
of silver, worth $12,332,689.
Inoidentally it might be pointed out
that the way Premier Whitney has of
disposing of measures objectionable to
him by a wave of his hand or a peremp•
tory order from his lips, must afford an
interesting illustration to students of the
working of our popular institutions of
government. The Legislatnre is filled
with men supposed to represent various
oonetitneno:es, and to have wills, brains
w- - and voices of their own; yet when the
premier orders a measure to the scrap
heap his orderis carried out as effectually
as if he were a military dictator with an
unconquered army at his back. What
do the members suppose they were elect-
ed for?—Woodstock Sentinel Review.
There is a movement on at Toronto to
raise the indemnity of members of the
Legislature from $1,000 to $1,500. The
TIMES is opposed to this increase and we
were also opposed to the recent increase
at Ottawa, There would be lees time
lost at both Ottawa and Toronto if we
had fewer representatives; sessions
would be shorter and then less cause
for an increase of pap. We believe one
member from Huron county to both
Ottawa and Toronto would be sufficient.
On the matter of inorease we give the
following paragraph from Monday's
Globe:—"The Globe hopes that the
gumshoe men will fail in their mission.
Tie members of the Legislatt.re may or
may not be entitled to an increase. That
- is a gnestion for argument. Certainly
the House does not at present oentain a
very large ro artion of en who are

were in attendance, Mrs W. E Duncan

away by her father. She wore, a becom-

Meryl Young, neioe of the bride, made
a charming maid of honor. Hearty con-

is is folly to offend and invite trouble
with one of our best onstomere. It
would be folly to destroy a constantly

might be given by the score. But the

unfairness of precipitating a tariff war

no doubt will make an effective appeal
to the demonstration at Washington. —

SPRING REMINDERS

Changeable spring weather, often raw
cold and damp, is pretty sure to bring
a time of misery to people who. Buffer
from rheumatism. But it must be borne
in mind that it to not theweather that
causes rheumatism, the trouble to rooted
in the bloo1—the damp ohangeable.
weather merely starts the pains going,
The trouble must be reaohed through
the blood. and the poisonous rheumatic:

The sufferer is only wasting valuable
time and money with this sort of treat-
ment, and allthe time the trouble is be-
coming more firmly rooted -and harder to
onre. There le just one sure way to care

They not directly on the impure weak,
acid tainted blood. They . • rity and

of rheumatism. Mr. Jo . Fiunamore,
Marysville, N. B., say: "1 was laid up
with rhenmatio fever . r a year, and for
eight months of that ime I oonld not go
about. My blo, d • ad seemed to turn to
water, and the • • in I endured was at
times almost . nendureble. Notwith-

a trial. I took altogether nine boxes
and they .simply worked wonders in

take the Pills 000asionally as I am work-

pretty heavy."
Not only rheumatic sufferers, but all
who have any trouble due to weak,
watery blood, will find a cure through
Dr. Williams' Pink Pille. It is because
of their direct notion on the blood that
these Pills cure such troubles as anaemia,
indigestion, general weakness, neuralgia,
and the aches, pains and secret troubles
women folk alone know. Give Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial, and

of Belgrave be appointed Medical Health
officer to succeed Dr. Hamilton and that
the Clerk be instructed to notify him of
such appointment.—Carried.
A bylaw was read and adopted ap-
pointing the following persons path
Mr Kirkby who has talking ability of
no mean order when he gets started.
The time was very pleasantly spent in
social chat, mneio, games and an elab-
orate supper to which ample justice was
done. Mr. Kirkby was born in York
Co., Ontario in 1837 and when a boy of
12 years moved with his father and
mother to a farm in Perth Co , near
what is now the town of St. Marys,
which then consisted of a few dwelling
houses, a stone grist mill, two log hotels,
a little frame store and a small shoe
store. They had venal hardships of
pioneer life but pulled ehrough it all
right. In 1873 Mr. Kirkby moved with
his family to Morris Township and has
resided on the same farm. He ie wide-
ly known and highly esteemed. For a
number of years he served in the town-
ship Council and Co. Council as Deputy
Reeve. Margaret McArter is a native
of Glasgow, Scotland, and gazed on this
world for the first time in 1840. Along
with her parents she came to Canada in
1842 and lived in Lanark Co. until 1862
when they moved to Huron. She was
married to Mr. Kirkby at the home- of
Henry MoArter on Maroh let 1860 by
Rev. J. Logie. They lived on Mr.
Kirkby's farm in Usborne township, in
the old time shanty and by appearance
neither Buffered materially from the toil
and straggles of those days. Mr. and
Mre. Kirkby are enjoying comparative
good health and have the good wishes of
a wide circle of friends for the celebra-
tion of their diamond jubilee 25 years
henoe.
