An Explanation.

EDITOR ExposTToR-The special
Township meeting call in your pa
per is for the purpose of raising J of l
percent. on the assessable valuation
of the township, for the purpose of
paying off present Indebtedness due
on Brockway Centre bridge and the
Ashley bridge now in process of
construction, building new one
called the Holcomb bridge, repair
ing Merrill and Lane bridges and
abutments to the Brockway Centre
bridge. 1t is proper that the people
should know that the commissioner
cannot do this work without me ans,
and he does not propose to create a
debt against the town without the
people being consulted, The accu-
mutation of debts is wrong. This
step has to be taken for the reason
that Brockway Centre holds their
liquor money and others in town
don't pay. These bridges must be
constructed and repaired or the
township will be obliged to pay
damages for accidents.

Another Wold's Exposition.

Expeditions are great civilizers.
They bring people together and make
them acquainted. They discover
mines of precious metals, mountains
and beds of useful necessary minerals,
forests of the most valuable woods,
fields of undeveloped fertility, and
markets for all products and manu-
features. The late Worlds Exposi-
ton, Notwithstanding unfortunate de-
lays and the execrable weather which
deferred so many from attending, was
a wonderful surprise to the people in
these respects. 1t was so much a
success that its friends have determin-
ed that the good work it commenced
shall go on. The new company called
the North, Central and South Ameri-
can Exposition are scattering far and
wide their announce ments and adver-
Using matter. 1t has purchased the
plant of buildings and property of the
old Exposition. 1t has secured the
retention Of the best part of the old
exhibits and it will reopen for a pc riod
of twenty weeks on the 10th of No
vember next. The VARIOUS impedi-
ments and adverse influences that OPP
Grated so strongly against the success
of the late Exposition will be removed.
The day of opening is in the most
pleasant and attractive season Of the
year in that section. Steam passenger
railway communication has been es-
tablished between the centre Of the
city and the Exposition grounds. This
will abolish one serious objection by
visitors of deficient local transporta-
ton. Railroad rates will be very low,
not exceeding one cent mUe from any
point. Accommodation In the city will
he abundant and at most reasonable
rates. The prospects of success of the
Exposition are very. brilliant. Capt.
s. ii. Buck, who succeeded Major
Burke as the Director-General of the
Worlds Exposition and gave such
universal satisfaction, is the new
Director-General and is determined
that it shall equal if it does not excel
that.

KEEP IT PURE.
THE LIFE is THE BLooD-PREvENT DIS
EAsE-SURGERY THE LAST PEsoRT-A
TELLING LETTER
= MoDougall, Agen

Here is fact for YOU to think over, viz.
Medical science proves that diseases, no
matter how great variety they seem to have,
proceed from comparatively few causes. Ii
is for this reason that some single medicines
relieve or cure so wide range of complaints
some of them appearing almost directly
opposite in their natures. When a medical
preparation acts at once upon the digestive
and urinary organs, and also purifies the
blood. the list of difficulties subject to its
control is astonishing. But, while many
things are said to possess this power, these
which actually do exert it are very rare.
Ii is conceded that DR.. K ennedy's Favorite
Remedy, of Rondout, N. Y, is the most
effective preparation now in use for all dis
eases arising from foul or impure state of
the circulation. Hence it is more than likely
that if the writer of the following letter had
habiiually taken "Favorite Remedy" ten
years ago, he would never have suffered
from Cancer.
Pittsfeld, Mass, March 90, 1884.
DIR. ID. Kennedy, Rondout, N. Y:
Dear Sir About six years ago I was
obliged to resort to external treatment for
the removal of cancerous growth on my
lip. On my return home, became sensible
that my blood needed thorough cleansing.
My whole system, too, required toning up.
While casting about for the best medicine TO
do this, your "Favorite Remedy" was SO
highly commended in my hearing that re.
solved 10 try 1t. i did so, and the result
surprised me, il was effected so quickly and
completely. l soon got over the depression
produced by the operation, and since the
"Favorite Remedy" which have continued
to take IN small doses. has kept me in such
health and strength as 1 never had before,
nor expected to have. Ii is the best blood
purifier in the world. l am sure of that,
Yours, &c.,
MATTHEW FARRELL.

desirable,
