TROUBLES
L. M. Holmes, of Parrsboro. N. S. was taken
severely 111 about a year ago with nervousness
and indigestion, and for some time wan com-
pletely prostrated. He consulted beat doctors,
but they failed to help him. a newspaper ad-
vertisement brought South Arnorlean Nervino
to hie notice. He tried it with the result that
he was greatly benefited from the first bottle,
and six bottles completely cured him, and ho
would bo pleased to give all details Of his ease

The annual meeting of East Huron

Brussels, on Friday, Dee. 10. Mr. Mac-

gathering:

The officers and members of Br'
annia Lodge A. F. and A. M., issued in
vitatioas for their second informal At
Home which was held in the lodge room
on Tuesday, Nov. 29th. On the corner
of the invitation is the inscription
"Bringyour Pipe and Tobacco," Those
who were present last year looked fora
ward and not In vain to another pleasant
gathering of the brethren and an even,.
ing spent with the never failing source
of pleasure to the smoker, namely,
' the pipe."
Smokers seem to be the rage as
amusements for the musculine sex
at present. The Beaver lacrosse club
held their second one in the town hall
Friday evening . If possible every one
given by this club increases their popu
larity among those gentlemen in our
town who epjoy a quiet game of cards
accompanied by first.olass tobacco in its
various forms.
Mrs. Jas. Watson and children are
visiting at Mrs. Watson's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Leslie, of Clinton.
The gentlemen of our town who were
on hunting expeditions in northern
Ontario have all returned.
Margaret Johnston, wife of Mr. Mur-
doch Compbell, of this town, has paased
over to the silent majority. Although
not entirely unexpected, Mrs. Camp-
bell's death was a particularly sad one.
About two years ago she had an attack
of la grippe, but, apart from a slight
Dough, was in good health until about
four weeks previous to her. death. On
that day she was out doing some shopp,
ing, and had reached the residence of
Mr. George Sills on the way home when
she was taken with a hemorrhage and
had to be carried home. From that
time she gradually grew weaker until
death relieved her of her sufferings.
Mrs. Campbell was aged 62 years and 7
months. She was born ib the county of
Arinanagh, Ireland, and with her
parents emigrated to this country in
1854, settling in Morris township in this
county,
In 1863 she was married to
her now bereft husband, the ceremon
having been performein Clinton by
Rev. Dr. McDonald, of this town who
was then pastor of the Presbyterian
church in Clinton. Besides her hus-
band, she /eaves a family of six eons and
one daughter to month the loss of a
true helpmate and loving mother.

J. T. Jones shipped a oar of dressed
poultry a few days ago. He has paid
out about $2,500 for poultry here. This
is a big item of income for the farmers
in this neighborhood and it is some-
thing that could be largely increased.
Two things should be kept in mind by
those engaged in raising poultry for
the market. First to keep the best
breeds, they don't cost any more to
keep, usually less than poorer kinds,
and then to have them well -fattened
before selling. By paying more at-
tention to these two pointe this busi-
ness can be increased to an almost un-
limited extent.
W. F. Stewart got in two oars of corn
and R.' Ross one last week. There
seems to be a good deal of corn fed at
present and at the market quotation of
corn and peas it should pay to feed corn
and sell the peas. Pork packers are
raising a warning voice against this,
however, as it is claimed that corn -fed
bacon will not suit the Engliah market,
where our choice bacon at present goes.
There is a danger that in trying to
make more money a good market may
be spoiled.
The death is announced at Belfast,
Ireland, of Rev. Dr. Kane, rector of
Christ church and Grand Master of the
Belfast Orangemen. The rev. gentle-
man made a tour of Canada at the time
the Home Rule agitation was hot in
Ireland.
Robert Ross of British Columbia is
spending a few days with friends here.
He has been employed as engineer on
a riverboat in Northern British Colum-
bia for the past summer. He intends
taking a trip to Scotland before return-
ing to the West.
The Saturday Utica Globe gives a
portrait of T. McGillicuddy, a former
townsman, and the following sketch of
his life :—Thomas McGillicuddy of To-
ronto, who was recently elected presi•
dent of the Provincial Sabbath School
Association at the 23rd annual meeting
of that body at Peterboro', was born in
Ireland November 5th, 1854, at the foot
of the ancestral hills known as the Mc-
Gillicuddy's Reeks, and is the son of a
Crimean veteran who won the dis-
tinguished conduct medal at Inkerman.
Our subject came to this country with
his parents when quite a sinal] child.
He learned the printing business and
has run the gamut from printer's devil
to editor and publisber,;having in cons
junction with his brother, D. McGilli-
cuddy, the present editor of the Gode-
rich Signal, conducted several live and
up-to-date papers. Some 11 years ago
our subject was appointed to an im-
portant position ie the department of
agrioulture at Toronto.

Mr. Alex. Orr, of Fordwioh, accom-
panied by two constables arrived in
town a few days ago with a pair of
"weary Willies." The tramps had
been in Fordwioh begging from house
to house and when refused 'anything to
eat would use insulting language.
They were arrested and appeared be-
fore Magistrate Gibson of that place,
who sentenced them to six months in
the county jail. The party on leaving
Wingham for Goderich got on the
Palmerston train, went as far as the
jnnction and had to walk back to town

The last meeting of the London
Cheese Board for the season of 1898 will
be held on Saturday next, when the fi-
nancial report for the year will be pre-
sented by Secretary Nelles and all busi-
ness wound up The question of cons
tinuing the market into December was
raised at the meeting on Saturday af-
ternoon, and it was disposed of with lite
tle discussion. :The majority of the fac-
tories were reported as having disposed
of their entire make, but the salesmen
representing them did not urge the im-
mediate olosing of the market --on the
contrary, they favored another meeting
in order that the remaining factories
could sell what cheese they still bad on
hand.
Sixteen faotories boarded 4,408 boxes
'of cheese on Saturday, of which 185 box-
es were sold at 9 cents, 1,085 at 9 1.16
cents and 273 at 9e cents. A jump of
one shilling in the cable for both white
and colored was probably the cause ofa
slight increase in the prices over the
previous week. The bidding on the
several factories was as follows:—Glad-
stone and Belmont 9 to 9 1-16; Wallace -
town and Dutton, 8g to 9 cents;
tlolmesvtlle.9 cents; Cedarvale, 81, to
91( cents ; West Nissouri, 9 to 94 Dents;

A Goderich Township
Defender of Michigan
To the Editor of THE NEWS-REOORD.
Sir,—In a recent issue of your con-
temporary I noticed that a pertain
gentleman who had been on a visit to
Senlao county, Michigan, says be saw
nothing but log buildings and not a
bank barn. Now, I have been in that
county and can state that such is not
the case. I could name many owners
of good farms and buildings, but
will content myself with a few who will
be known by many residents of Huron
county. Mr. David Welelr1 brother of
Mr. Robert Welsh of 'Jhnton, has a
neat frame dwelling and a good bank
barn,whtle Mr. Johnston, a brother•inv
law, is almost equally well equipped.
Mr. Graham, brother of Mr. James Gra-
ham of this township, has a comfort,.
able dwelling and a oommodieus bank
barn, and Wesley and Peter Cole have
both fine frame dwellings and out-
buildings. Upon the latter's farm
there is a cosy Baptist ohurch and also
a school house and the Methodists this
peat summer erected a ohureh that
would be a credit to any community.
My principal object in drawing atten-
tion to the prosperity of Senlao county
is because so nanny of our old friends
and relativea have settled there. Of
course we would sooner have them
here, but as it is we are glad to know
that they are doing well.

SOUTH AMERICAN RHEUMATIC CURE THWARTED
DISEASE AND CURED HIM OUTRIGHT.
Robert E. Gibson merchant, Pembroke, says
that ten years ago leo contracted rheumatism
in a severe type, suffered untold misery—re.
sorted to fly -blisters and other severe treat-
ments with no lasting good or relief. When
hope of recovery was well nigh gone he was in-
duced to try South American Rheumatic Cure,
Tho first dose gave Mm instant relief, half a
bottle cured him outright. His own words
wore: "It is the best rheumatic remedy on
earth."
Engl' \'jd as Seen from Abroad by
an Englishman.
Ten years ago I wrote ; "If you want
to appreciate your conntry, look at it
from any foreign capital you please."
To day I no longer feel it. would be safe
to give the same advice. Compared
with New York London is a badly light-
ed oountry village. Compared with
Hamburg, the street locomotive is as
that of the stage -coach era compared to
that of the train de luxe. Why, even
here in Sebastopol, in the city which
has risen like a phenix from the ashes
of the fortress we pounded to bits half
a century since, electric trolley cars are
running which are immensely in ad-
vance of anything to be found in the
capital of the British empire. Yet
what region of the world is there that is
not full of the labors of Englishmen ?
Even this very Sebastopol was origin-
ally laid out by an Englishman in the
Russian service, Englishmen made
the gas for St. Petersburg, as they are
still to do it for the suburbs of Vienna.
All over southern Russia Englishmen
founded and directed iron works and
presided over the industrial develop-
ment of the country. Now all is clang,
ed. Belgians and Frenchmen and
Germans do the buainees—and a greater
business— that the Englishmen began.
Even in the working of tramways
Belgians make lines pay which the
English have abandoned in despair of
earning a dividend. And the city of
Vienna, under the guidance of its anti-
Semitic chief. Dr, Lueger, bas just
mulcted itself in an expenditure of a
couple of millions sterling in gratifying
a determination to get rid of the Eng-
lish gas company without regard either
'to law or equity. All this is bad
showing for the Britiaher, although no
doubt it is the best medicine for John
Bull, who of late year has grown too fat
and altogether high and mighty to proper-
ly to look after his business., — From

Atmosphere," by W. T. Stead, in the

THE HEART WAILS

MAGIC MEDICINE, DR. AGNF.W'S CURE FOR

for five years a great sufferer from heart dis-
ease—spent some time under exports in King-
ston hospital without getting any) benefit and

The First Celebration of
Christmas.
Christmas was first celebrated in the
year 98, but it was forty years later be-
fore it was officially adopted fie a
Christian festival ; nor was it until
about the fifth century that the day of
ite celebration became permanently
fixed on the twenty-fitth of Deoomber.
Up to that time it bad been irregularly
observed at various tines of the year—in
December, in April and in May, but
most frequently to January.—Deoomber

A SURE CURE FOR CONSUM PTION
There is no such thing. Scott's Emul-

that will not cure advanced cases, but
taken in time it will cure this also.
America and England in China.'
The recent collapse of China has
opened up one of thegreatest questiona
of our time. Is this vast country, with
untold mineral and other resources,
'end with a population of four hundred
millions of frugal, industrious people,
to be partitioned among European
nations 7 Is thegreatest potential
market of the world to be permanently
closed to general trade, or is it to re-
main open, with its incalculable possi-
bilities, td all nations on equal terms 7
