Ashburnham, Ont, April IS, o.
I think 1t Is only right that I should
tell you what a wonderful effect
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
produced. The day before Easter
1 was so distressed with cold and
cough that I did not thl: k to be
able to take any duties the next day,
as my voice was almost choked by
the cough. The same day / re
ceived an order from you for a
bottle of your Cough Remedy I
at once procured sample bottle,
and took about three doses of the
medicine To my great relief the
cough and cold has completely dis
appeared and 1 was able to preach
three times on Easter day. 1 know
that this ,apid and effective cure
was due to your Cough Remedy.
I make this testimonial without
solicitation, being thankful to have
found such a Godsend remedy.
Respectfully yours,

MANY ASPIRANTS|
SEVERAL JEFFERSON COUNTY RE.
PUsLIcANs WANT POLITICAL
HoNoRs THIS YEAR.

Fairfield, Aug. 21.-(SpeciaD The
republicans throughout the county held
their primaries last evening and in
some sections the political fights wax
ed very warm and the result of the
primaries at present are very doubt
full, as there are many candidates out
for the various Offices.
Hon. A. F. Cassel of Four Corners
is seeking a denomination as repre-
sentative and he is opposed by John R
McElderry former county auditor
There is considerable talk of a dark
horse as in many quarters these two
men appear to have opponents. Fol
sheriff there is fine lot Of men fol
the honor and the convention cannot
make any mistake in nominating one
OF them. The second ward of this
city boasts OF having three candidates
for that place. David C. Pierce, former
ly OF Lockridge, David N. Sense and
Frank G. Cooper while Charles G.
Taylor of the third ward is also can
d1date for sheriff. AS in other contests
there are a number of passive candi
dates who are in hopes that the light
ming may strike them, when the con
vention cannot agree upon the other
four active aspirants.
Several denominations.
John A. Raines, as county treasurer,
who is candidate for denomination,
will succeed himself, he having made
an excellent and obliging official. Miss
Miss Anna White, county slperintend-
ent, who has alread served two terms,
Will not doubt succeed herself, al
though the party at times has de-
clared itself against third term. 1t
will not count this year in this case,
as she has made an exceptionally fine
officer and the teachers throughout
the county are her warmest friends
in this contest. Captain B. F. Grail,
as surveyor, DR.. A. S. Hague, as cor.
oner, and Samuel Billingsley, as
member of the board of supervisors,
will all be renominated, they each
serving their first term.
County Convention.
The republican county delegate con-
vention has been called for next Sat,
urday at II o'clock and will be com
posed of Lightweight delegates, the
smallest republican convention held in
this county for many years.
The Senatorial Convention.
The senatorial district convention
comprising the counties of Jefferson
and Van Buren,. will convene at the
court house in this city at 1 o'clock
next Wednesday to nominate can.
didate for the state senate. AS it has
been the custom to alternate each
eight wears with Van Buren county
this county will not have any candi.
date of it's own and will abide by the
decision of the delegates of Van Blu
rem county and they recently decided
that Capt. Eleriek shluld be their
nominee, so when the convention
meets next Wednesday it will simply
endorse the action Of Van Buren,
county.

Idle Amusements.
Then, one day. l, myself, unfortu-
nately fell into the power of that doe
tor, and dragged myself YEARLY to that
same dull waiting room, which was
still hot and close, and pathetic eyed
patients lined the wall, and I waited
long again, while quiet settled down

apparently lodged 5000 slapping

Then listened patiently while a
dull woman beside me told long, dull
story of her dull life. First one pa
tient and then another received the ex-
pected summons. and as each came
back l scanned them eagerly to see if
an eye or hand were missing.

and turned through some Of the med

strange and terrible diseases and i'm

had had his ailing face removed, and
a new one built up from pieces of

/ Waiting for the Dentist.
A long, tedious stay in the dentists
waiting room isusually my punishment
for a prompt arrival at the appointed
time, and in the hushed atmosphere I
have dozed over the June magazines,
lulled by the humming sound of the
electric-rpn burr in the next room,
where an excavation is being blasted
out in some molar sub-basement for
the laying of a granitoid pier for a
bridge superstructure.
Idly I have observed the arriving
and departing patients, and tried to
figure out from their expression just
what dental trouble had befallen them.

new front tooth smiled broadly to-
show it. and the man in whose mouth
