Farms' Change Hands.
The Teeswater News gives the fol-
lowing notes. of farm sales :—A num-
ber of farm land deals have been clos-
ed out in this locality within the past
week. The biggest of these was the
purchase by Wm. Decking of Smith
McLean's 200 acre farm near Lang -
side. Mr. Beeking paid quite a hand-
some figure for it—$11,000. The tim-
ber, of course, is what Mr. flecking
wants, and there is about 140 acres of
unculled bush on the farm, Much of
this is hemlock. The maple, we learn,
has been sold to Mr. Mitchell of Luck -
now. Another sale was that by Mr,
Andrew Adamson, '7th con., who, sold
the lot on which he lived to Walter
Day for $4,500. Mr. Adamson, who of
Iate is developing into a..purebred
stock, breeder, wants something higL-
class in the way of a farm, and though
comfortably :axed where he was, de-
cided to move on to something bettor.
It is reported, too, that 112r. G. Hark-
ness of town has bought Jos. Wel-
wood's farm—the one on which Mr.
Wel wood lives, and intends joining
the ranks of the agriculturalists in the
spring. The farm consists of 80 acres
and the price is said to be $4,000.
Unpleasant Experience.
Norton Harrison of Shallow Lake
had a rather exciting experience the
other day with a big wild cat. He
was out hunting when he started his
catship on the run. The animal took
to a big elm tree and from there it
sprung to a larger elm that stood
three rods away. Here the cat was
making ready to spring down on Mr.
Harzisort, when that gentleman took
aim and fired, and the animal fell dead
to the ground. The cat measured
over four feet, in length, so it was a
very dangerous antagonist.

At the Annual Meeting in January, 1908, your Directors in their Report
to the Shareholders made reference to the unusual financial conditions then
prevailing and the policy which It was considered advisable to pursue in
conducting the affairs of the Bank. Since then a marked change has taken
place—there has been a steady. contraction In the trade of the country, and
the demand for banking accommodation has been limited, although we now
And an improvement in this respect, and can confidently look for a gradual
expansion In business. A crop somewhat above the average was harvested,
and the proceeds distributed through the country, which has tended largely
to increase deposits. From the causes lust mentioned the Cash Reserves of
the Bank have' been particularly strong for some months, and the percentage
of liquid assets is exceptionally high,
In January, 1908, we took over Branches of the Sovereign Bank at 14a-
den,
ferlaw Linwoodoffice was, Marmorasubse, qMountuently Albertclosed, New Dundee and Pefferlaw. The Pef-
.
Branches have also been established at the corner of King and Went-
worth Streets, Hamilton, on Upper Sherbourne Street, Toronto, and at Wawota,
Sask. It is our intention to shortly erect an office at the corner of St. Clair
Avenue and Vaughan Road, Toronto, where a site has recently been purchased.
Further expenditures have been made at Avenue Road Branch, Toronto,
at Fort William and Windsor, Ont„ at the North End Branch, Winnipeg, at
Selkirk and Deloraine. Man., and at Grenfell and Regina, Saslc., to an extent
fully warranted by the importance of the Bank's interests at these points.
In connection with the issue of $1,000,000 of new Capital Stock in 1907, it
is worthy of note that the amount subscribed for has now been paid in full.
A Special Committee of your Directors has completed the customary veri-
fication of the General Balance Sheet of the Bank as on 31st December, 1908,
including the certification of our funds in the hands of Foreign Agents. They
have also examined and found correct fire Cash Reserves, Investments and
Securities as shown on the Statement presented.
All Branches of the Bank aye been thoroughly inspected during the
year. y

Harry Reid Knows.
Walton McKibbon, druggist, does
not guarantee Parisian Sage to grow
hair on every bald head, but if there
is any life left in the roots of your
hair, Parisian Sage will stimulate the
hair bulbs and cause your hair to
grow again. Here is one case. "I am
now using the second bottle of your
Parisian Sage, and can notice a new
crop of hair appearing. I am glad to
say it is a darker color than my hair
was before I became bald." Ilarry
Reid, 10 Manhatten St., Rochester,
N. Y.
Don't wait until you're bald before
using Parisian Sage, use it note, Kill
the dandruff germ and prevent bald-
ness. Walton McKibbon sells Pari-
sian Sage at 50c a large bottle, and he
guarantees it to cure dandruff, stop fal-
ling hair, and core all diseases of the
scalp, or money back. Parisian Sage
is a delightfully invigorating hair
dressing; it makes the hair soft, fluffy
and beautiful.
Agriculture In Schools.
A distinct advance in the policy of
establishing schools in the Provinee is
bang planned by the Department of
Agriculture. Agricultural classes so
far have been limited to the high
schools and collegiates. The inten-
tion now is to extend them to the con-
tinnation elasses of the public schools,
and as soon as the demand warrants
one man will be appointed for each
Province, to take charge of the schools
and develop them. In this way dozens
of new schools will be organized. The
work in connection with the high
schools will continue as before.
Breach Of Promise.
Mrs. Anderson, a widow from Car-
gill, has entered an action against
Ambrose Wilhelm of Greenock for
two thousand dollars damage for al-
leged breach of promise. The widow
is somewhat deaf, and according to
reports, Wilhelm used a megaphone.
The next court settles the case.
Are You Subject To Cold ?
,Then don't load your stomach with
cough syrups. Send healing medica-
tion through the nostrils—send.it into
the passages that are subject to colds
and catarrh. Easy to do this with Oa-
tarrhozone, which cures a cold in ten
minutes. Even to the lungs goes the
healing vapor of Catarrhozone—all
through the bronchial tubes, nostrils
and air passages—everywhere a trace
of disease will Catarrhozone follow.
You'll not have colds, nor will you suf-
fer from sniffles, bronchitis or throat
trouble::i.f Catarrhozone is used. Get
it to -day.' 25c and $1 at all dealers.
Don't Blame Unjustly.
This is the way the Bobcaygeon
Independent looks at the matter, and
there is some ground for its remarks :
"A great uproar is being raised about
tile accident at Grimsby, and the
blame generally is placed on the rail-
way. Is this a fair and just position
to take. The public insists upon fast
service, trains must run at high speeds
and there are places where level cross-
ings cannot possibly be avoided. The
trains of necessity have the tight of
way, it is nothing more than ordinary
common sense for a driver to rein in
on appi oaching a railway and ascer-
tain his safety before driving on to
the track. It is a very simple thing
to do, perfectly reasonable, and if
done insures safety without fail. A
man who deliberately drives on to a
track without assuring himself of his
safety, has only to blame his own
negligence and criminal carelessness
if he suffers injury. Railways should
be held to task for any neglect on
their own part, but they cannot be
tesponsible for the carelessness of the
public.
