Popular goods must be made to meet
the regeireinents and.. demands of the
times. We can't stand still; we must
either move forward or backward.
Our goods contain distinct features
that have artistic merit, and claim the
attention of every customer.
One censtant aim is to produce gar-
ments that have a character—a per-
sonality of their own, to leave the old
beaten track, and rise above the con-
ventional and common place.

clared vacant by the judges at the re-
cent trial at the "Soo". The evidence
brought out in the trial showed whole-
sale bribery in favor of the Liberal
Candidate, C. N. Smith, and agency
was established, so that the judges

election voided. This leaves Mr.
Ross with a majority of one, with
several trials against the election of
Liberal candidates still to be heard.
The season for shooting praire ehick-
en opened last Thursday. According
to reports there are comparatively
few birds this year. On account of so
much rain during the summer, the
birds were in many cases flooded out
of their first nests and consequently
had to seek higher places. It is there-
fore reasonable to suppose that many
broods were thus lost, while those
which were successful will be younger
and smaller than they would have been
had the season been a more favorable
one.—Crystal City Courier.

Lot 19, Concession 4, Usborne, one of
the best known and most highly re-

ceased had attended a threshing about
two weeks previous to his demise and
contracted a cold which developed in-
to grippe and later congestion of the
brain from which he gradually sank
until death claimed him. The deceas-
ed numbered his friends as many and
his rather sudden taken off has cast a
gloom over the whole! community.

ed. He leaves besides a sorrowing
widow one son and four daughters.

Cough Cure !
No Cough remedy has ever been dis-
covered that will cure every cough,
but we think we have one that comes
a little nearer to doing it than most of
them.
It has been prepared for years; it
has been tried in all manner of cases,
and has given satisfaction.
We ask you to remember, and to
try this
Because it is safe
Because it is most certain to cure
Because it is pleasant to take
13ecause it is equally good for child-
ren and adults, and
Because if it fails you get your
money back.
