Sunlight Soap's Latest scheme.

Messrs. Lever Bros. Ltd, proprietors
of Sunlight Soap, do nothing by halves.
They have built up the largest soap bust
ness in the world, first, by turning out
very superior article, and second by pluck
and attractive advertising. Their la
test stroke in the United States is a bold
one. 1t is Monthly wrapper Competi-
ton, the tempting features of which are
the presentation of So, 400 in cash, bicy-
cles and gold watches every month ofthe
year 1897, to those who collect and send
in to Lever Bros New York office the
largest number of Sunlight coupons.
The total value of the prizes to be
awarded during the year 1s97is SAC, 800.
The competition will commence in
January, when 4 first prizes, each of
500 cash, 20 second prizes, each of S1OO
Pierce Special Bicycles, and 40 third
prizes, each of S25 Gold Watches will be
awarded to the successful competitors of
that month.
A great advantage in this competition
is that it is held monthly, and, therefore
those who do not succeed for one month
have plenty more opportunities during
the year. Rules and full particulars are
given in our advertising columns from
time to time. The firm of Lever Bros. i.
thoroughly responsible and will do al
they promise.

Of Mrs. Mary Blake Lyon, wife OF
Charles Lyon, which occurred at Lyn-

painful Illness Both Mr.. and Mrs. Lyon
were former residents of Island Pond.

Mrs. Lyons death the Lyndonyille Jour
nal says:
Mrs. Lyon was born April 81, 1851,
in Brighton and was married Sept. %,
1890. Since that time she has proved a
faithful and affectionate wife and kind
and loving mother to Mr.. Lyons chill
dren, Albert A., and Laura E., both OF
whom are living at home. Three years
ago last October her health began to fail
and it has been one long siege of suffering
ever since, not day being free from pain,
Knowing her disease to be incurable, still
she has tried to overcome all obstacles
and live for her family. Kind friends
have done all they could to assist the
family in the long care and many at
tentions needed to make comfortable the
last year or two of Mrs. Lyons life. AL
though terrible sufferer from lnterna
tumors, she has ever been brave, bright
and cheerful. She has undergone mum
Der of operations, each one OF which was
feared to be fatal, but with surprising
vitality has rallied and again taken Ut
with astonishing courage her brave fght
for life. Always trying to make the bes
everything she has in spite of her being
an invalid made her home a happy one
Blessed with a sunny disposition she al
ways looked on the bright side.
