We can in part understand the posi- tiOn ''Pen Dragon" takes in regard to dogs for he was, few months ago, needlessly bitten by one while walking along the highway, but does it follow that all dogs will do the same as he appears on the street? The writer was once kicked soundly by a horse, but it did not cause eternal enmity towards all horse flesh because one vented his dislike so forcibly and we truly cherish the idea there are dogs and dogs who attempt to attend to their own affairs when unmOleSted and there will be dogs till State legislature or Congress enactS a law to banish them from the land.

DIR WILLIAMS PINK PILLS THE
 BEST NERVE TONIC.
MICHIGAN MOTHER PRESERV ED TO HER FAMILY BY THIS WONDERFUL REMEDY.

MICHIGAN MOTHER PRESERVED TO REMEDY.
 How is it that Dr Williams Pink Pills, recognized as a great blood build. CT and purifier, have effected such wOn- derful cures in severe nervous dis orders?
 The explanation lies in the fact that
 the nerves receive their nOurishment through the blood. When the blood neuralgia or something more serious swiftly follows. Nervous people are generally pale people.
 By supplying through the blood those vital elements that the nerves need Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People have performed those remark able cures that make it impossible for any nervous sufferer to neglect them with justice to himself.
 A recent case is that of Mrs Peter Morrissette, of No. 315 Eleventh street, Alpena, Mich., who writes as follows:
 My trouble started with childbirth. After one of my children was born l had a kind of paralysis. was very crooked, l was always tired and was so nervous that could not bear to hear dog bark or bell ring-even the little bird in its cage would annoy me. My heart fluttered great deal and had dizzy spells. I was not able to be left alone. My doctor gave me different kinds of medicine, changing it several times. When it was evident that he could not help me he said he did not understand my case.
 "This was three years ago and was very much discouraged wben my brother, who had taken Or Williams Pink Pills, recommended them to me. I tried them and noticed change for second box. Dr Williams Pink Pills cured me and l have been we'll ever since. l now do all my own housework, sewing and washing for seven of us. l have recommended the pills to num- Der of people and am very glad to make this statement"
 The fact that Dr Williams Pink Pills cured this stubborn case, as we'll as others more severe, leaves no doubt that they will cure lesser troubles arising from disordered nerves and lack of nerve force. They have also cured caused by impure or impover- ished blood, such as rheumatism, after effects of the grip and all forms of weakness either in male or female. 7

Y., to pay the sum of s5OOO upon proof of fraud on the part of the company in the publication of the foregoing testimonial, or any other used in making known the merits of Dr Williams Pink Pills.

Meader will fill his at Arrow Point farm. F. J. Hos ford is also preparing to fill his, the largest about the Lake. The lake, this winter, has frozen over in sections or certain parts did not withstand the winds and inclement weather, so that aHgood portion of the lake's surface has kept open, rendering it more diff1- cult for several to fill their houses than in past years, but by present prospects,, we now believe all will get their usual supply, although with greater diff cu]ty in hauling and extra labor to fl i'll with ice so th1n.
