THE TRYING WINTER OVER.

The winter, which seems to be about
over, was one OF the longest and sever
est experienced here for many years.
The health, as well as the resources
OF cur people has been severely tested.
1t is gratifying to be able to state that
the people OF this section are emerging
from the ordeal in good condition. A
number OF the older citizens and few
OF the younger ones have passed away,
and larger number than usual have
been sick. The fatalities among the
sick have not been large, and with the
coming of better weather and more
favorable conditions the health Of the
people generally will assume its normal
condition.
There has been an unusually large
number Of cases OF small pox in the
community. but no fatal cases, SO far
as heard of. The disease seems to have
been Of a very mild form.
The farmers have passed through
the winter with comparative ease.
Provender was plentiful as a general
thing, and stock are said to be in
good condition.
There have been fewer calls for help
from the poor, than for any winter OF
similar length and severity, for
years-which means, that the entire
population OF the town and community
Is Ia better shape financially.
The spring blowing and work, some
what delayed, has already begun, and
from now on the wheels Of industry
will hum In this highly favored land OF
ours, and will forget the hard, long
winter that y behind Us.

authorize our agents TO it under this
guarantee:
eff you have and fault IL find with
this paint. either now in putting IT
on, or hereafter in the wear, tell
your dealer about it.
1--WE authorize him to do what is
right at our expense"
The following story tells how little
the risk Is:

Devoe from '76 to now; have sold

three were good.
Explanation-It rained the night
before the fourth side was painted;
and the painters didn't wait for the

What is done in such a cast ?
Whatever the dealer, who sold the
paint, considers it to him. He may
not do exactly what we should do if

The best we can do is TO leave it to
him.
