Going through the hospitals in our large cities one is surprised to find such large proportion of the patients lying on those snow-white beds women and girls, who are either awaiting or recovering from serious opera tions.
 Why should this be the case? Sim ply because they have neglected them selves. Ovarian and womb troubles are certainly on the increase among the women of this country-they creep upon them unawares, but every one ot those patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in that bearing down feeling, pain at left or right of the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, leucorrhoea, dig ziness, fatulency, displacements of the womb or irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of an un- healthy condition of the ovaries or womb, and if not needed the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation. When these symptoms manifest them selves, do not drag along until you are obliged to go to the hospital and sub init to an operation but remember that Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved thousands of | women from surgical operations

THE BLIZZARD IN MONROE.
 The dance which was to have been given at the Town hall on Tuesday evening, the 24th, did not take place on account of the storm. It is hoped it will be held later. The blizzard here was the most severe of any since the great one of 1888. Most of the streets are piled mountains high, but the mail routes and main roads were opened as fast as possible. February it is said, is the month of snow, but it is hoped that the worst of the winter is over and that no more blizzards are in prospect for us. The thermometer registered below zero in Monroe cen ter, Wednesday. The Center school was closed as the pupils could not get there. Harmony Grange did not have the installation of officers on Friday evening. But they will be installed sometime in February.

MRS EMILY E. DERRICKSON.

MRS EMILY E. DERRICKSON.
 Entered into rest on Saturday, Janu- ary 2S, Emiy E. Derrickson, widow of the late Dr Derrickson of Warren. Mrs DerrickSon was a woman respected by all who knew her. A considerable portion of her life was spent in teach ing, and she is affectionately remem- bered and appreciated by many who had the privilege of being numbered among her pupils. A great reader, she kept informed and took an interest in the events that were taking place in the world. In her old age she remained young in heart and mind, being ever able to appreciate and enter into the pastimes and enjoyments of the young. Ever devout Christian her life was a living sermon of the power and in- fluence of a living faith. In her later years she had been a cOmmunicant and attendant of St Andrews parish, until the intirmities of age began to tell upon her. She was one of those most valuable in any parish, who was always to be found in her place at all ap- pointed services. Marbledale people will miss her kindly gentle presence but "she sleeps in Jesus" and all is well and many will prize as blessed privilege the fact that they came in contact with and knew Emily E. Derrickson. The tender sympathy of the community has been- with her daughter, Miss Lizzie, in her aff1iction and loss. Her age was 76 years and three.
 Mrs G. A. Tomlinson, who has been on the sick list, is better.
 Mrs David Cole is confined to her bed most of the time.
 On account of the storm, Wednesday and Thursday, there was no school No mail Thursday.

HAPPY, AS WE ARE.

HAPPY, AS E AXE.
 We have one thing.to boast of, plenty of snow and ice so far this winter. But situated as we are we know but little comparatively of those large snow banks which we see when we cross the hills. Sometimes some of our neigh bors from above, if they can get through the snow banks, will drive down into our little village and try to tell us how much colder they were after they got down by the river. It has often made us smile, but on going up among them recently we could un- derstand how it was. When we see the amount of shoveling they had to do to get there, they ought to have been warm if hard work with the shovel could set their blood to circu- lating. We will take little frost for for us and let them have the snow banks.
 Mrs Eva Bacon of Arlington, N. J., has returned, expecting to spend the winter with her son, Douglas, at AL bert Halls.
