Notice.

A business that increases in popular
estimation, in efficiency and sales, can
not be said to have developed through
chance. Chance does not crowd your
counters with buyers. Nor does it
bring people from far and near to your
store.
THERE MUST be other reasons for
this development, and the public soon
discover them.
The modern store, like the model
home, must have harmony in all it's
branches Fairness. honesty and
truthfulness should be the merchants
guide II success in business 10 desired
The Dry Goods Store of to-day must be
attractive and up to-date in all its
departments. We have striven to
make our store as near perfect as pos
sible, but more improvements are still
needed. We can see where changes
can be made to the advantage OF our
patrons and ourselves. Our small
profit system Of conducting our bust
ness has charming effect on those
who believe in little prices. Our store
was created by public patronage and
we thank the people for their conf
dence and say that the bargains for
this week are phsnomenally great.

The Monitor, a newspaper published at
Meaford, Ont, Canada, first discovered this
case two years ago, and published it at length,
which now seems, owing to the cure of it, to
be miracle. The facts were SO remarkable
that many people doubted the truth of them.
They said " It is too remarkable; it cannot
possibly be true; the paper is mistaken, and
the man, although he may think himself
cured, viii soon relapse into his former con-
dition," etc, etc. The accuracy of its re-
port called in question, the Monitor deter
facts were as stated and whether the man
would really stay cured. They accordingly
kept a close watch ON the case for taoo gears
after the first article appeared, and have just
now published another article about it in

WANT TO TAKE BACKWARD STEPS.

There is to be another special town
meeting. This time it 10 to see If the
town will vote to rescind the vote taken
in February to establish high school j;
also to see il the town will vote to es-
tablish graded school and appoint q
committee to secure site for the same.
The Reporter says: "We believe the
projectors of the resembling scheme
known that the town is not needy and
Will not vote for a graded school. We
believe the sole purpose Of this meeting
is to kill the previous vote and then vote
down the graded school. There Ia an
air of insinGerity about the whole thing
as it looks to u.s." One who has seen the
petition says there are two thirds of the
signers who have no children to educate
nor any visible reason why they should
be especially anxious TO secure better
school advantages than the high school
would give. moreover they have not
hitherto been the promoters of advance
ment in school or in any other line.

Mutual Life Association for $4,000 amount
Of total disability claim paid By them to Mr..

The first account stated that the patient
(see address below had been paraIytic for
five years, that there was such total lack of
feeling in his limbs and body, that pin run
full length could not be felt; that he could
not walk or help himself at all for two
years he was not dressed Furthermore that
he was bloated, was for that reason almost
unacceptable, and could not get his clothes
on. The paraly sis was so complete as to affect
the face and prevented him from opening his
mouth sufficiently wide to take solid food.
The doctors called the disease spinal sclero-
sis and all said he could not live.
For three years, he fingered in this con-
dition. Then by some friends he was ad.

Such is the history of one of the most re-

one say, in the face of such testimony, that
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are not entitled to

truth a miracle of modern medicine?

and without sensation. You could pierce
them with pin and would not feel it, and
what is true of my hands is true of the rest
of my body. Perhaps you have observed
that I have now even ceased to use a cane,
