Life is too short to fool it away on base
ball.
After you get tired of the camp-mee.-
ing, go and take a look at F.. Wilson's
Mammoth Dry Goods Concern, Lewis
burg, O. 1t is not the largest in the
State. 1t will richly pay all those who
have never seen his house to go and see
and price his goods.
There are some people in the world
who ought to learn that shrouds have no
pockets. It would be better for them to
hear their praises sung for having aided
in building up the community in which
they live, than to have their heirs quar-
rel over the money they may leave.
A writer to the st. James GAZETTE
says "the cucumber is a most digestible
and wholesome article of food" This
long delayed certificate of character will
probably do something towards placing
a much abused vegetable on an equal
footing with it's relatives.
Here is a chance for the mathemati-
clans: A woman has a quantity of eggs
which, when she counted out by twos,
by threes, by tours, by fives or by skies,
she had one left every time; but when
she counted them out by sevens they
came out even. How many eggs had
she?
There are two varieties of "hay fever"
early and late, one that makes its ap-
pearance in June and the other in Au-
gust, or thereabouts, according to the
weather. The early species yields to
medical treatment, while the latter spe-
cies is incurable except by change of eli
mate.

Money is scarce, times tight; pay what
you can, put the money in circulation;
part of it may come back to you. Every
cent started round to pay debts helps the
community it eases things up. Every
body who can should pay all debts, no
matter how small, promptly, and the fl
nancial stress of many persons will be
relieved.
A citizen from the north part of the
county who came in to hear the Eddins
case, pushed his way into the court room
and listened patiently to the evidence in
the Harper burglary case for about two
hours, under the impression that he was
hearing the murder case. When he final
ly came out to get a breath Of air, and
probably to "see a man." he gave it as
his candid opinion that the woman would
be convicted.
Now that the city Council have put in
over a mile of guttering at the request of
those owning adjoining property at the
cost of the city treasury, the Council
should demand and require good brick
or stone pavements to be put down this
season, and where property owners neg
lect or refuse to comply let the Council
order all such done by the city employees
and lax the cost on the adjoining proper
ty. Don't commence on some poor man
or woman, but make examples of them
who are able first.

Workmen, whose duties require them
to be exposed to the sun, will do we'll tc
take some of the simple and inexpensive
precautions guarding them in a measure
from being overcome by the heat. One
of the simplest methods is placing grape
leaves, dampened with water, in the hat
worn while at work. The leaves keeI

Philip Becker is building a Business
house and dwelling on the corner of Ma
pie and Bruce streets. Philip is putting
his money where is is safe and sure tx
pay in the future, knowing from the pas
that a gradual and continued increase ii
, the value of Eaton property is as certain
! as time rolls on. And money invested
I in real estate is not so liable to get ava,
as it is in all other pursuits or invest

best. This, too, is additional evidenc
of the growing confidence our active bu
