Pinnatelee AND PROPRIETOR THURSDAY, OCT. 15. '-9 3.. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Governor Litnib, of the Salvation army colony at Hadleigh, has been eem- issioued by General Booth to proceed o Canada and Conduct negotiations ith the uauadian Government for the migration of 1,000 men, women and bildren in the spring. The Galt Reformer says that the man ho circulated the petition in that town gainst the Grand Trunk Pacific cou- rant was paid ten cents for each signa- e. If the managers would only pay cents to each signer they would secure of petitions which would have to eked up outside the Parliament gs, with Ottaw a's lumber piles. t, mass meeting of the Liberals of the ew riding of South Bruce, was held at alkertou ou October 6th, and turned ut a success. The riding is a large one, tit notwithstand'ug the great distance high many of the delegates had W tra- el, every part of the riding was well epresented. Officers were elected as 'follows:-Presidt'ut, J. R. Campbell, Pinkerton; Vice President, D. Cameron, Lneknow; secretary, E. N. Bultard, ildmay; treasurer, A. M. Halliday, hesley. It was decided to hold the convention at the village of Formosa on `Thursday, October 22, for the purpose of selecting a candidate to contest the rid - "mg. One consideration that is making our people impatient of hard work is the ex- ample of riches quickly made through the semi -gambling activities. Men, whose fathers would have died rather than live on bread they had not earned find themselves willing to be taken care of, by the Government, perhaps, or by "the party,"or by their more fortunate or industrious relatives. Such drones know nothing of the satisfaction of him who "scorns delights and lives laborous days," who can hold his head high and say he has earned bis right to live and whose death is not thus a debt paid to nature, for he4owes her nothing. -Octo- ber Century. Mr. A. W. Campbell, Provincial Road Instructor, has been in the county of race, looking over the Mud River drainage scheme, which the Councils of Culross and Greenock have under con- sideration, and towards which they ask Government assistance. The work con- templated is that of deepening, widen- ing, and removing obstructions from a section of the Mud River, about twelve miles in length, and will form an outlet for about 25,000 acres of,land. The im- provement would practically reclaim t1and render fit for cultiv>}tion about 16,- 000 acres of excellent clay swamp lands. The territory includes the Greenock swamp, which was owned by the late Mr. Cargill M.P. Surveys are being made and a report will be made to the Govern- ment. How to Help the Town. The following remarks from The St, Mary's Argus have an application to conditions in this town and are worth thinking about. During the past two or three weeks outside firms have been making free use of the mails to send circulars to the citi- zens of this district. These attractive circulars and booklets offer all kinds of goods by mail order and they often catch the vnwery, It is no uncommon thing for people to buy by post through these circulars goods which they could get as advantageously at home, and have the advantage of seeing and choosing the goods before they buy. This method of business does not build up one's town, neither is it fair to the local dealers. -Every farmer or other person who lives in this vicinity is interested in the pros - Was too Nervous to Rest or Sleep Alllittims eeud*cran dhes-Drr..

When your nerves are all on edge, when you cannot rest or sleep, when you are nervous, irritable, despondent and discouraged, racked with headache, neuralgic and sciatic pains, you can turn to Dr. Chases Nerve Food knowing that with each dose new blood is being formed, the nerves re -vitalized ana health and strength restored. Mas. S. THOMPSON, 240 Munro St., Toronto. Ont., states:• -•="I was very much run clown in health, and whenever 1 exerted myself more than usual X had severe attacks of splittii,g headache, and wins very nervous, S0 much so that I could not , rest well at nights.

The prosperity can be maintained slid property value increased by patroniziug the local merchants, No town of corres- pouding size has better stores, more up to -date merchants, or more obliging clerics than St. Mary's. Auythiug that anybody wants in this vicinity is to be found in these stores and it there should be anything else desired the merchant can get it for his customer. Let every citizen of the district ponder these things,. then deal with the local merchauts. Now, Mr. Merchant, a word with you. Do you make as liberal use of printing ink as you should? Does your advertis- ment appear regularly in the the local papers? With many of you it does, but there are a few that never advertise, or whose adverising is spasmodic. This is bad fur you and for your customer. Then, are you yourself not guilty of giv- ing outside printers orders for stationery, etc., when these could be done just as well by The Argus. Last week the traveller fur a Toronto printing house came through town and boasted that he had taken orders for commercial print - tug from many firms. Was this fair to the newspapers? These papers are pub- lished in your interest; they try to serve the district thoroughly and fairly; they are well equipped for all kinds of com- mercial and other printing, and all printing that they cau do for the citizens of the towu should be done by them,, Think this over, Mr. Merchant. It is to the mutual interest of merchant,oustom- er and newspaper. Hats off to IV11ss Canada. (St. Paul Pioneer Press.) Uncle Sam is a big fellow. He trades all over the world and re- joices in setting down great columns of figures showing how wonderfully his trade is expanding. And he takes a prominent interest in Mexico and Canada and all the rest of the countries on this side of the Atlantic. He likes to see the whole Western Hem- isphere move forward unfalteringly in the path of progress. But he wants to be in front himself. This is a very justifiable ambition, but Miss Canada can twist some figures into a very fair comparative showing. For instance, her total exports for the year ended June 30th last amounted to $37 for every man, woman and child in Can- ada, while Uncle Sam's per capita was only $18; her total trade was $81 per capita, while Uncle Sam's was only $31. Of course the five and three quarter millions of our Canadiau cousins have a wider field to cover in proportion to pop- ulation, but the figures indicate some- thing of the competition we may expect when the British -American territory is fifty years older. Fruit Seeds and Appendicitis Many very intelligent people are de- terred from swallowing the seed of ber- ries, grapes and other fruits lest the lodgment of these small bits of indiges- tibleness may induce that dreaded acci- dent, appendicitis. This fear is utterly baseless, since the healthy appendicitis is protected by a valvular arrangement which prevents even the smallest seeds from entering it. It is only after in- flammation has already destroyed its normal protection that any foreign substance can gain access to it. To feel compelled to eschew all seedy berries and fruits is to seriously curtail one's dietary and it is entirely unnecessary. In fact, the free and constant use of ripe berries and fruits of all kinds is one of the best preventives of this dangerous disease. Fruit eating prevents or helps to over- come constipation and constipation is the most prolific cause of appendicitis. The physician should thoroughly dis- abuse his patients of this mistaken no- tion. All the smooth seeds are harmless. BELGRAVE (Intended for last week.) Mrs. Buchanan has returned home from a two months visit with friends in Toronto, Belleville and Trenton. Oar popular store -keeper, Mr. Charles McClelland left on Tuesday last on a trip to the West. His many friends wish him a safe and pleasant journey. Mr. D. Sproat was in Seaforth on Tuesday attending the funeral of the late Mr. Broadfoot.

Munshaw are the guests of Dr, and Mrs. McAsh, at pres- ent. Anniversary services on Sunday last is the Presbyterian church were conduct- ed by Rev. Win. Eoss of Guelph, son' of Mr. Win. Ross, of East Wawanosh. It is needless to say that the congregation enjoyed a ram treat. The congregation in Guelph of which Mr. Ross is pastor are to be congratulated on having such an able man as their leader, and the Bel - grave people will look forward with great pleasure to again having Mr. Ross in the pulpit here at such another ()Cata- lan. Miss Laura McCrea is the guest of friends in Windsor. Mr. O. Proctor of Morris was the guest of friends in Wingham on Sunday. Mr. Dave Owens, who has been visits ing friends here, left on Monday morn- ing for his hone in Bruce Mines, Algae matt. A CURE FOR RHEUMATISM. liven the Dlost Stubborn Cases of this Palin• Oil malady Van Be Cured. Rheumatism is caused by acid in the blood. That is au uudisputed medical truth. Liniments, outward appl:catious and alleged electric treatment eau never cure what is rooted in the blood. 4 blood disease like rheumatism must be cured through the blood. That is why rheumatism always yields lilts maie to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills -they actually wake new, rioh, red blood. This new blood conquers the painful poison, sweeps out the aching acid, soothes the nerves, looseus the muscles and banishes rheumatism from the system. Proof of this is found iu the case of Mr. Charles Leatherdalo. a popular youug druggist's assistant of Tilbury, Out. He says: "I know from, personal experience that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism, because they cured me of a severe attack that for mouths caused me many sleep- less nights and puiuful days. I had tried a number of other medicines, but they failed. Then I decided to give the pills a trial. Before I had finished the second box the pains began to leave me, and by the time I had taken two more boxes the panus were all gone, and I felt like a uew man. That is more than six months ago and I have not had a twinge of rheumatism since. It is my belief that a fair trial of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills will drive the moet stubboru case of rheumatism out of the system, and as a result of my own experience I cheer- tulty recommend them for this trouble." The pills cure all blood and nerve troubles such as rheumatism, sciatica, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance. anae- mia, neuralgia, indigestion, headaches, kidney troubles, and the ailments that make the lives of so many women a source of almost constant misery. Imi- tations and substitutes are sometimes offered, and the buyer should see that the full name, "Dr. William's Piuk Pills for Pale People," is printed on the wrap- per around every box. If in doubt send direct to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Out„ and the pills will be mailed at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50. orIrmos EAST WAWANOSH. (Intended for last week.) What might have proved a serious accident happened at Robt. Marshall's last week, when Mr. Tom Corbett, of Belgrave, got his hand badly cut and bruised while feediug the corn cutter. At last reports he was doing as well as could bo expected and we hope to see him at worst again. Mrs. Noble, of Hallett, was the guest of friends here last week. Mr. and Mrs. Hanna, of Kinloss, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Corley last week. Mr. Alex. Leishman,who was recover- ing from typhoid fever, took pleurisy and is very low at present.

Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Cameron, of Lacknow,spent Sunday with the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. McDowell, Misses L. and A. Henderson,of Morris, visited friends here recently. Mr. Alf. Cook, of Clinton, was the guest of his parents this week. Mr. and Mrs. R. Owens, of Belgrave, and Miss Tillie Nethery, of the eastern boundary, Suudayed with Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Noble, of Westfield. Miss Brydges. of Goderich,is the guest of her sister, Miss Laura Brydges, of the 6th lino. Anniversary' services were held in Westfield church on Sunday last. Rev. Dr. Daniels, of Goderich, preached morning and afternoon. A tea meeting was held on Monday evening at which Mr. A, Cook, of Clinton, rendered sever- al excellent selections. Proceeds a- mounted to $86. • Scrawny People People grow thin, scrawny, pale and weak when the blood is thin and watery. What is needed to round off the angles and fill out the form, is` not fat but healthy muscular tissue, By enriching the blood and increasing its nourishing qualities Dr. Chase's Nerve Food adds new flesh and tissue to the body as well as new vigor and energy. Yon can prove this by noting yo rease in weight while using this :, p . d cure. Good Business Maxims, (Malun's Magazine] The president of the Logdon Cham- ber of Commerce gives these twelve maxims, which he has tested through years of business experience, and which he recommends as tending to insure success: 1. Have a definite aim. 2. Go straight for it. 3. Master all details. 4. Always know more than you are expected to know. 5. Remember that difficulties are only made to be overcome. 6. Treat failures as stepping stones to further effort. 7. Never put your hand out further than you can draw it back, 8. At all times be bold; always be prudent. 9. The minority often beats the ma- jority in the end. 10. Make good nee of other men's brains. 11. Listen well; answer catltionsly, decide promptly. 12.

A few valuable suggestions to the dryer: As soon as the apple is pared it should be cut into quarters,trinxuled and thrown into an ordinary sized pail whioh bas been about half filled with water in whicb a haniful of common salt has been stirred. As soon as enough apples have been prepared drain off the water, which can be used again, and dry in the usual manner, The effeot of the salt is to whiten the apples very mach and pre- vents them from turning dark; try this way and you will be pleased with results and proud of yqur work, with really no more trouble. Always cut the apples into quarters, this is very importaut. Sliced apples are not wanted. Do not dry on strings. Do not offer burnt apples for sale. Do not expect the merchant with whom you deal to give you good goods for poor apples, Canada has taken the lead in many other products and we are all interested to have this apply to dried apples as well. A little extra effort ou the part of each dryer will accomplish much. Dried apples are saleable from 1st of October to 1st of April, but experience has proved that itis the wisest plan to market the goods early while the de- mand is good. • People of this niece There are people in every town and village of this country who have been cured of itching, bleeding and protruding piles by the use of Dr. Chase's Ointment. Ask your friends about this great prepar- ation, they can toll you of its great sooth- ing, ;healing and antiseptic powers. More reputable people have endorsed Dr. Ohase'e Ointment than auy prepar- ation yon can mention. An Italian has inventen a cloth which is quite imperviqus to any weapon.

D, RAiNEY RiVER GOLD FIELDS 'Tache Station, Ont., Sept. 26.-- though little or nothing is hear& from this part of the mining district of New Ontario, It is a well known fact that almost within a stone's throw; o;f the main line of the C:I'.RI. are situated rich claims, awaiting the long-1expected, tide of capital and Lien velopmont.
