A strong feature. of this leading house ie the high place that they have attained for many ycare in supplying the public with all that is the newest, most seasonable and best in dress goods and dress trimm- ings, and the large increasing sales in this department clearly prove that their wide a -wake, prudent, and experienced efforts in this direction are appreciated by a generous and discriminating public, Equally important is their great mantle and far department, for here too, alt that is latest and up•to•date in style, designs. materials, workmanship and finish. from the best makers of these beautiful and comfortable garments in Canada, Britian and Germany, will al- ways be found in season, and the yearly increasing sales demonstrates very fully that this department is hard to equal in the values offered, and the satisfaction guaranteed.

Hutchison, who start- ed in business here same nine years ago. The fine stock has been selected owing to ite purity and freshness.

As it was the late proprie- tor's aim to keep nothing but the best lines of groceries and canned goods and to sell reasonable all the time. It will be Mr Christie's aim to merit the good will and support of the public, so gener- ously bestowed upon Mr Hutchison.

The councillors were rather late in gottipg down to business on Monday evening and it was after half past eight when Mayor Bell took the chair, there being present L'ouns. Bennett Hanna, Nicholson and MoDouald. A communication was read from the G. T. R. declining the offer of a five-year term for the supply of water for their engines; after some disoussion it was decided to give the ootnpany a ten-year term. The town solicitor wrote stating that .the Western Foundry Co. matter was about closed up, ouly awaiting a meeting of the directors of the company. The butchers of the town petitioned the coun- cil for a by-law authorizing the °losing of all butoher shops in the town at 7 o'clock each evening (except those just preceding a holiday) during each month in the year excepting December. It was decided to grant the butobers request, and a byelaw will be passed accordingly. The High School Board asked for a loan of $2,000, which was granted. The Finance Committee recommended the payment of the following a000unts :— Frank Patterson, concrete walk.. .$82.49 Prank Patterson, trimming trees.. 4 95 Frank Patterson, raising side walks 1.75 W.

By -Law 543, 1906, was read and passed confirming the agreement between the town and Messrs Howson, Harvey & Brooklebank. By -Law 545, 1906, was read and passed authorizing the issue of debentures to i•he aura of $1,500 for further improve- ments in connection with the High School building. This is necessary owing to the original amount not being sufficient to provide for some modern improve- ments which the Board wish to have in- stalled. The clerk was anthorized to take the necessary steps to have lands liable to be sold for arrears of taxes properly adver- tised. The clerk presented the estimated receipts and expenditures for the year, and after some discussion it was decide.1 to adjonrn until Friday evening, when the rate of taxation for the year will be struck. SAFETY FOR CHILDREN. Liquid Mediciuee advertised to eare stomach and bowel disorders and :um- mer complaints contain opiates _ .'d are dangerous.

An occasional dose to the well child will keep it well—and they prom- ptly mire the minor ailments of child- hood when they come unexpectedly. Mrs. G. Hamlin, St. Asolphe, Que.. says: "1 have used Baby's Own Tablets for colic and bowel troubles and find them safe and speedy in their cure." Sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 Cents a box from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville Ont. Keep the Tablets in the aouse. J.131100- & SON This another leading business firm that we trust not neglect from out re- view of the business places of Wingham. Mr Bugg, Sr., bought this business a number of years ago, which is today conducted by his son H Begg, Who le manager for the estate. A good stook of stoves, tinware andis house suppltoe and a aplendtd trade enjoyed, Etre - trotighing, gas fitting!' and plumbing clone Ott the shortest notion and setts- faction alwrays matted. None bat the best workmen ate omplayed so that the Canada's Wonderful Commerce, In one year the foreign trade of Can- ada has increased $82,000,000, the great- est jamp in any twelve months in the history of the country. The gain last year was considerable over half the total foreign trade of Canada in the first year of Confederation. The following table tells the tale stoeintly:— 1867 $131,027,532 1876. 174,176,781 188G 189,675,875 18966 239,025,360 1897 257,168,862 1898 304,475,736 1899 321,661,213 1900 381,517,236 1901 386,903,157 1002 423,910,444 1003 467,064,685 1904 472,733,038 1905 470,151,289 1906 552,0011,000 The imports for the fiscal year 1906 (ending Jane 30) were $290,352,408, an increase of •28,450,937.

The percentages of increase by decades are: 1876 to 1886 996. hamar 1886 to 1894 26 1896 to 1906 130 If the gain of the pastdecade is main- tained during the neat, Canada will be in the billionaire oleos.
