OUR WATERWORKS..
The town council on Wednesday
evening made, in. our opinion, a very
wise move in purchasing the water
privilege from Carr Bros. The
question of steam and waterpower
ler the running of the waterworks
has been fully discussed by many of
our prominent citizens during the
past week, and we believe that the
majority is in { favor of the water-
power. A few figures showing the
difference between the cost of steam
and waterpower will be of interest.
Councillor McKenzie has went into
tbe matter quite fully and has pre-
pared the following figures :--
•
STEAM POWER.
Interest on investment, new machinery
and:building.. ,. ,.,. S 37 0e
Fuel, ell etc 720,00

Total yearly revenue .. .. ,. 5350.00
Yearly outla4 „ .. .. .. .. .5270.00
Balance to Food .. .. .. ., 830 00
It will be seen . from the above
figures that by • the town purchasi4lg
the water privilege, we will have a
yearly -income of $80.00 per year,
after all expenses in connection with
the running of the works have been
paid. Many who have looked into
the matter say that Councillor Me -
Kenzie has put the revenue at a low
:gars and that the town will have
More than the $80.00 clear after all
the expenses are paid. • To make
it more clear that the. water ' power
is the best system, Mr. Walter Green
informs us that he will give the town
e.500 a year for the, use of the water
privilege, allowing the town all
the water they „will need for

annual outlay of $1322.99, and all
the income would amount to would
be $125.00 for taxes, ming a year-
ly outlay of $1197,99. ! he figures
furnished by Caunail►,'ar McKenzie
under the steam. system are put very
low and many are of the opinion
that the plant could not be run .for
$1322.99 per.year, From the above
figures, no person could hardly aa
vocate the steam system as a good
investment. Between the two sys-
tems, there is no comparison in cost,
promptness, etc. Under the water-
power the pressure is always ready -
and under steam it would take Con-
siderable time to get a sufficient
head of steam to put on the required
pressure. The town has been very
fortunate in securing the water privi-
lege and we will have in the future,
as in the past, one of the best sys-
tems of waterworks for fire protec-
tion to found in any town of a like size.
The water privilege would not have
been long lying idle and if some
private individual had purchased it,
the town could have whistled for
their power and would have been
forced to either pay a large rental or
invest a large sum of money in a
steam plant. All should agree that
the council have made a capital bar-
gain when they secured the water
privilege, Work will be commenced
at once on the building of a tempar-
ary dam, and in the course of ten.
days' or so, we will have sufficient
power for fire proteetoin. Plans and
speeiflcations will probably be pre.
pared at once for the new dam and
wok will be commenced at as early
a date as possible.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Toronto Mail declared about
a month ago that the Canadian ex-
odus to the United States was a
thing of the past. • Thinking this
admission might be of advantage.to
the Government, the Mail now re-
calls it, and'says it is clear the ex-
odus is still on, because over $800,
000 worth of settlers' effects went
from Canadaeto the United States
last year. The fact that 82,828,675
worth of settlers' effects came from
the United States to Canada 1111'1898
bears out' the Mail's first statement.
The exchange is three to one' in
Canada's favor,

tion follow the example of their

The Recorder, Brockville.
One of the finest farms in Wolford
1 township, Grenville County, resides
Mr. and firs, Alonzo Smith and
family, Mr, Smith is perhaps one of
the best known men in the Bounty, te;
iu addition to being a practical farmer
herepresents several agricultural im-
plement companies. His family con-
sists of two estimable daughters, the
eldest being seventeen years of age.
To a correspondent of the Brockville
Recorder who rocently,•,..,oalled at
Mr, Smith%, Miss Minnie I'3 Smith,
the eldest daughter, related the
following story:—"About two years
ago I was taken quite ill. I became
pale and languia, and if I undertook
to do any work about the house,
would easily become terribly fatigu-
ed. I became subject to terrible
sick headaches, and my stomach be-
came so weak that I loathed food,
My trouble was further aggravated
by weak spells, and my feet, winter,
or summer, were as cold as Ice; in
fact It seemed as if there was no
feeling in them. I tried several
kinds of medicine, but instead o
helping me I was growing weaker.
One day in March, 1898, my father
brought home a box of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. I immediately discon-
tinned the other medicines and be-
gan taking the pills. I found that
they helped me and four more boxes
Were procured and by the time I had
finished them I was entirely well.
I have never had better health in
my life than I am now enjoying.
My appetite 1s now always good,
and I have increased in weight. All
this is due to the efficacy of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, and I would
advise any other young girl troubled
as I was to use, them, and they Will
certainly cure if the directions ar
followed.
The facts above related are im.
portant,; to . parents, :aa there . are
many young girls just budding into
woman hood whose conditions is, to
say the least, more critical than their
parents imagine, Their complexion
is pale and waxy in apperance,
troubled with heart palpitation, head.
aches, shortness of breath on the
slightest exercise, faintness and
other distressing symptoms' which
invariably lead to a premature grave
unless prompt steps are taken to
bring about a natural condition of
health. In this emergency no
remedy yet discovered can supply
the place of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
which build anew the blood,strength-
en the ner3es and restore the glow
of health to pale and sallow cheeks.
They are certain cure fur all troubles
peculiar to. the female system, young
or old. These Pil1Is also cure such
diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia,
partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia,
St. Vitus dance, nervous headache,
nervous prostration, the after effects
of la grippe, influenza and severe
golds, disease depending on humors
in the blood, such asserofala,ehronic
erysipelas, etc, Do not be persuad•
ed to accept any imitation, no matter
what the dealer may say who•ofers
it. Imitations never cured any one.

tis with feelings of unfeigned
sorrow we record,. the death of orae
of the oldest and most esteemed re.
sidents of Whitechurch, in the person
of Mr. Thomas Campbell, which took
place on the 19th inst. The eircum-
stances surrounding his death are
the more sad from the fact of Mrs..
leaders, Sir Charles Tupper and Mr.
Foster,. we shall have the whole de.
bate on the address over again on
the amendment to the address. The
country is tired and weary of the dis-
cussion about theTukon management.
There were irregularities, but they
were greatly exaggerated. Officials
were no doubt to blame, but it will
be admitted that the circumstances
were extraordinary. In any case,
that the Government acted on -the
whole wisely is now hardly clues-,
tioned by the Opposition leaders
themselves. Every one 1s satisfied,
that an investigation by so good a
man as Mr. Ogilvie will . suffice in
the case of the officials.—Montreal

THE Rev. Dr. Potts, a clergyman
who is almost at the head .of the.
Methodist church in Canada, de-
clared as soon as the result of the
Nlebiscite vote was known that it
was not such as to warrant prohibit
ory legislation by the Government.
This remark aroused a good deal elf
indignation in Methodist circles,
whieh is seeking for utterance in
various ways. One correspondent
says in the Montreal Witness that
he does not know Dr. Potts' polities,
but that his utterances are such 'as
