manufacturing business in Havre
de Grace, ON Saturday made deed
of trust for the benefit of creditors
to Abram P. McCombs, president
of the First National Bank of Havre

the Faust Company. The trustees

purchases as may be necessary to
complete the stock on hand.
Steadily the iron jacket known
as goldbugism, gold standard, sound
money, ETC., is closing in on the
business of the country strangling
the present owners to death. If
they dare to complain and speak in
favor of the rehabilment of silver
as primary money the banks to
which they are all beholden will
close down on them, so they struggle
on till a lingering death overtakes
them, the inevitable result of the
contracting goldbug system.
Cal. Brice a few days ago gave
his views to the world by news
paper reviewer. He pronounced
the present the most prosperous
period in American history. The
liquidation was going steadily on
which was destroying high prices,
and the rich were acquiring all the
blessing of low prices it would be
ever impossible for the poor man to
rise from his condition of poverty,
while the rich will be made secure.

bugism.

He who dwells in heaven alone;
She is done with all earth's sorrow,
Now she rests in peace at home.
Yes, know that we will miss her,
For she will no more our troubles share,
For in heaven there is no sorrow,
And we hope to meet her there.
She is gone, now and forever.
Never to return to us;
In her eternal home she's resting,
And she's numbered with the just.
As father and a husband,

And with those young hearts intrusted,
Should prepare to meet her there.

"I take pleasure in recommending Cham

will do all that is claimed for it. A year

cured him. For sale E. 7. Reynolds.

A FRIEND.

For every quarter in mans pocket
there are a dozen uses; and to use each
one in such a. way as to drive the greatest
benefit is a question every one must solve
for himself. We believe, however, that
no better use could be made of one OF
those quarters than to exchange it for a
bottle of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, medicine that
every family should be provided with.
