where pure, clean food is given to hogs

will be useless. The management has

week will eclipse anything of its kind
ever held in this county and will equal
our best state fairs. The attractions Of

of them is not necessary. Those who at

REAL ESTATE DEAL.

A very important real estate deal was
made last week, important not because of
the property conveyed but because OF the
improvements it foreshadows Mrs Paul
label purchased the. half lot owned by
Frazer Bros. which fronts ON York street
and which lies right back of Hampton q
McCarty's grocery store. This gives a
depth of 70 feet to the Eighth street
property 1t is Mr. labels intention to
put up brick block on this property
and it is quite possible the work will be
done next year The splendid building
he erected on the property adjoining is
sufficient proof that the building which
will be erected on the corner will be a
fine one.
The buildings were sold with the prop
erty. The price paid is quite high for
property not on Eighth street, Frazer
Bros. will vacate July /, 1900
They have had plans prepared already
for building ON York street covering
the whole lot owned there by Charles
Frazier. The old buildings will be util-
lied to the extent possible, but the front
will be new and the hight of the build
ings will be increased. The plans call
for handsome structure.

nearly all my life and am convinced
that you can raise crops 40 per cent
cheaper here than where came from.
My capital at present, counting every
thing, is about s., 900. The yield of my
grain all round in 1897 was GO bushels
per acre. This year (1s9s) yield of
wheat per acre 37A bushels, oats 50
bushels, barley IS and potatoes 400 per
acre. I consider this is a much better
country for a man than where came
from, provided he is industrious. You
get a free homestead here and Canadian
Pacific railway lands are cheap and the
terms easy. I have now made my
seventh payment on the land purchased
by me and am much pleased with my
purchase, as the land has already much
more than paid for itself School law

came from, and there are schools wher-

rel. She.had sent it to him in fun, of
course, but he had been sensitive, and
he had recognized her handwriting.
He had gone to her accuslngly and she
had not denied it. So then they had
quarreled and parted.
"You will be sorry some time," he had
said to her, as he turned away.
when I am will send you another
valentine-a beautiful one, with sweet
verses on it," she had answered; and
since that day he had been waiting
for it.
He had loved her dearly, and he be-
lieved she had loved him in return. At
first he had expected the valentine
surely with the coming of each Feb
ruary. Then by and by her parents had
moved to the city, and his hope grew
fainter each year. Later he had come
to the city, too, but he did not know her
address. He had never. married. He
told himself that she must have mar
ried long ago and that the valentine
would never come. And yet he had
never ceased to think of it when the
day came around, and in, his heart he
had never ceased to look for it, When
the shop windows were filled with val
entines he would go from one to an
ether, looking at them all and wonder
ing which she would send. He had
done this more and more as he grew
older, and to-day he had bought valen-
tines for the two little girls because
one of them-Katie-had reminded him
of the little. girl for whom he had
bought valentines so long ago. =
If it does not come morrow" he
thought, with faint smile, ''it will be
too late" For he had been more feeble
than usual this winter, and his doctor
had told him that he could hardly hope
to live through another. Then he
closed his eyes and slept, and perhaps
as he slept he dreamed.
He slept so late the next morning
that his old servant was alarmed, but
near noon he awoke and asked for his
mail. The servant brought it. There
were two or three small envelopes, let
tiers, probably, and one package "a
handsome white box, tied with blue and
pink ribbons. Then he put out his hand
tremblingly and touched it. He wished
to be sure that it was not a part of his
dreams. He was so pale that the old
servant was frightened.
Are you worse?" he asked.
Mono! I am we'll. Open open
the box"
The servant united the ribbons care

time. The old man stretched his hand
