Owing to the rains Of last week cot

The signs of returning prosperity
are too much in evidence to be denied,
so that even we OF the "free silver"
d1athesis must stand from under and
accept the situation, take the good
things as they come, though we be-
lieve "free silver" might make good
times better and prosperity more pros
porous. The man who won't acknowl-
edge good thing because it don't
come his way and according to his
prescription is of earth earthly, very.

Miss jamie Bussey died at the
home of her father, Rev. G. W.
Bussey, at Parksville, last Tuesday
afternoon, after an illness of
several weeks, aged about 20 years.
Miss Bussey had many frier Is in

visited, and the news of her death
was a great shock to the people

grief over her death by the thoug ut
that all is we'll with her in the
Great Beyond. Her remains were
laid to rest in the Parksville cenae-
