Mr W R Webster referred to the fact that Mr McIntosh would not be with them next year, and he moved a vote of regret at Mr McIntosh’s inability to * with them Mr J S Mitchell secoi ded The election of oftit rs were then proceeded with, and ^Messrs C 1) White and J R Woodward were elected scrutineers.The result of the vote was given in the last issue.Mr (i G Bryant moved a vote of thanks to the directors for their work during the year, and Mr W F Wilson seconded.On motion of Mr A Ames the secretary was instructed to cast a ^ W ^ ¦w w -w ¦w -w* ^ V V ““ ““ Ladles' Flannelette WRAPPERS ladies’ Flannelette Blouses Dress Goods and Tweeds at 1 j t>.c.off for 15 days only.Misses Tw'eed Coats at half price to clear before stock Liking.A few barrels Red path's sugar at wholesale prices.W.T.OUGHTRED Marblcton, Jan.4 !******************** Reception—The President, the vice-president and the Mayor of Sherbrooke.HATTER, FURRIER and Men’s Furnisher, w mm \ iw R • < W- MR.N.T.DUSSAULT, Re-elected President, E T.A.A.MR.ALEX.AMES, Re elected Vice-President, E.T.A.A, MM 111®! i MR.W.M.TOMLINSON.Re-elected Secretary-Treasurer, E.T.A.A.I FOR V ASH DAY Wash Tuba, Jash Boardu, Wops, Scrub Brushes, Clothes Lines.Brav Bros., • • • Wellington St.Mr.D.O.Pease, fer many years well known as the Grand Trunk district passenger agent at Montreal, will shortly retire to enter business at Minneapolis.The population of the United States by the census retains of HKX) is given at 7(1,000,000, felt that if the Government could be induced to continue the old grant that this would be preferable to the issuing of bonds and having the Government guarantee them.As they were all aware the last portion of the $25,000 grant, given by the Tallion Government, was taken up last vear, and they were now practically in the hands of the present Government.He believed however, that the present Government would do well by them, as they fully understood that the exhibition was doing a great deal of good in the Province.The report of the directors was then read by the Secretary, Mr.Tomlinson.This report appeared in our last issue.The president moved the adoption of the report and the vice president, Mr.Alex Ames seconded.Remarks were made by Messrs R W Htfneker, C H Fletcher and G G Bryant, all of whom complimented the directors on the success which attended last year’s show.The President referred to the fact that he had seen Mr.John McIntosh that morning, who had intormed him that he did not wish his friends to vote for him as a director, as he intended, after the session, to go south again and re*t for a few month*.They were all sorry, said the President, that Mr.McIntosh would not be with them this year, but he hoped to see him next year with them again fully restored to heath.TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take laxative Hromo Quinine Tablet*.All rtnigffl-t* refund the money if it falif to cm re.K.W.Grove'* «tgrmuire i* on each box.‘Jrtc.ballot for the patrons and vicepatrons.MEETING OF DIRECTORS.At a meeting of the directors of the Eastern Townships Exhibition held «m Wednesday afternoon Mr N T Dussault was re-elected presi-i dent, Mr Alex Ames re-elected vice-president, and Mr W M Tom-! linson, re-elected secretary.The Committees for 1902 were j also appointed, and are a* follows: Executive -C A French, chair-.ma».: J A Wiggett, W R Webster ! and II R Fraser.Prize list J A Cochrane, chairman; H D Smith, S L Clough, A Ames, J F Learned, W Morris, F B Wilson, Dr Pelletier and L IT Olivier.Railway and transportation G A LeBaron, chairman; LA Bayley and J A Wiggett.Attraction- E Winn Harwell, chairman; C A French, W R Webster and H R Fraser.Livestock—H D Smith, chairman: .1 A Cochrane, S L Clough, Alex Ames, ,1 F Learned, F B Wilson and L H Olivier.Ladies and Arts Dr P Pelletier, chairman; W Morris and L A Bay-ley.Advertising and press H R Fraser, chairman; E W Harwell and C A French.Gi and stand A Ames.chairman; J A Wiggett and K W Harwell.Oates and grounds—W II Webs ter.chairman; L A Bayley and II R Fraser.Bench show —G R Smith, chairman; L A Bayley and H R Fraser.The citizens of Quebec will tender a banquet to Mayor Parent during the last week in January.^Drastic reforms are being made in the Imperial army uniforms.A line of steamers is to be established next season between Montreal and Rotterdam.Norway Sofoden Islands Home of the Cod Liver Oil.Even there various grades arc sold.We pay the highest price and get the best to be sure.On each single sa’e we derive less profit, but in the aggregate our profit is large, because we sell more.Ours is the best quality that can be obtained in all the world and we say it without hesitating.Bring your bottle, .‘15c.a pint.Also put up in 25c and 50c.bottle-i Oust a ve R.ic Hard, Drxarfgiat and Optician, 153 Wellington St., SKarbrooka, Qua.GENTLEMEN YDUfiQ IVI-N OH OLD MEN !

exist in the public mind that inter! n- seriously W’ith the w’ork of the skilled aurist.Too many people think that the ear is so delicate an organ that nothing whatever ean bo done to alleviate any distress arising therein and allow a trivial disorder that might be rectified by an aurist to bring about a case of partial deafness that settles into permanency.Dirt In Dainty Carpet*.For housewives who pride themselves upon the spotless floor coverings The Druggists’ Circular gives the following recipe for removing spots of dirt from carpets: Make a suds with a good white soap and hot water aud add fuller’s earth to this until the consistency of thin cream.Have plenty of clean drying cloths, a small scrubbing brush, a large sponge aud a pail of fresh water.Put some of the cleaning mixture in a bowl aud dip the brush in it.Brush a small piece of the carpet with this; then wash with the sponge and cold water.Dry as much as possible with the sponge and finally rub with dry cloths.Continue this till you are sure that all the carpet is clean; then let it dry.3 THE CANADIAN DRESSED .POULTRY COMPANY.Capital Stock $450,000, Capital Covered by Subscription, Railway Grants, Municipal Bonuses and Propositions in Trustees Hands $171,000.W holesale Butchers and Pork Packers and Cold Storage Warehouse Merchants, Poultry, Butter, Eggs, and Cheese Handled in large quantities f or export Now negotiating for two of the largest plants in Canada - Amaia-gation at an early date confidently expected and will erect a Pork Packing House, Abattoir for killing Cattle and Cold Storage Ware-house at Sherbrooke as soon as terms are arranged with the City.Negotiations now in progress with the City Council.•The Maori and the Wltnen*.Captain Hayes in his book.‘‘Among Horses In South Africa,” tolls several amusing stories.A friend of his in New Zealand bad been a government interpreter among the Maoris and had many stories to tell about these people.On one occasion a native chief, who was under cross examination iu court, on being asked why he had not brought n certain man with him replied: “I have brought him.” “But,” said the barrister, looking In vain round the court, “I don’t see him.Where is he?” “He is here,” chuckled the Maori proudly, stroking his massive chest.1'ecvillnr Taxation In Holland.Some of the most peculiar of taxations recorded are to be found in the archives of Holland.In 1791, for Instance.there was in existence a tax imposed on all passengers traveling in Holland.In 1874 a duty of 2 shillings was levied on each person who entered a tavern before noon, on those who entered a place of entertainment, on marriages and deaths ami on many other things.If a person was buried out of the district to which he belonged, the tax was payable twice over.MinarcTs Lkimeit Cur s Cblcs, etc.The Suez Canal is 88 miles long.Camels are the only animals that cannot swim.Worms cannot exist either in children or adults when Dr.Low’s Worm Syri f is used.25c.All dealers.The Horae* ami Saddle.A man bought three horses and a saddle for $220.If he puts the saddle on the first horse, they cost ns much ns the other two horses; if he puts tho saddle on the second horse, they cost two times ns much ns the first and third, and if he puts the saddle on the third horse they cost three times ns much ns the first and second.Find tho cost of each.* Mr.Thomaaaon'* I.rnann.“Yes,” said Mr.Thotnasson, “I went home intoxicated one night about ten years ago, and the lesson my wife taught me made a lasting Impression on my brain.” “What did she say?” “She didn’t say anything.The lasting Impression I refer to was made a flatiron.See that bump?” The Inventor s Work.For the benefit of onr readers, we publish a list of patents recent-I ly granted by the Canadian & American Governments, secured through the agency of Messrs.Marion Marrion, patent attorneys, Montreal & Washington, D.C.Information regarding any of these patents will be supplied free of charge by applying to the firm above mentioned.71,417 Thomas Field, New Oxley, Alta, N W T Railway joint.74,032—Joseph Lemire, Drum-mondville, PQ Milk aerator for use in dairies.74,049—Victor Berford, Tara, Ont, -(«rain car door.74,113 Frank Alex Breeze, Selby, Ont, Spinning frame.688,800—Messrs Kay A Wearne, Minton, North Hatley, P Q,—Rock drill chuck.088,807 John George Taylor, Duurea, Man, Pneumatic stacker for grain separator and thrashing machine.i 088,933 Joseph Couture, Montreal, P Q, Latches.088,934—Joseph Couture, Montreal, P Q,—Lock.088,914 Joseph N Goudreau, Magog, P Q,—Poultry nests.Write Messrs.Marion A Marion, patent attorneys, Montreal, P.Q., for a copy of their Inventor’s Help.Shares $5.00 Each Profits 12 Per Cent.Per Annum It is belitved after a careful eoDsidepation of Markets, Prices, Methods, Expenses, etc., that the Profits for the coming Year and the future wili net be less than twelve per cent per annum NET fir Shareholders, All Shareholders th A PANTHER’S : BEQUEST « How Clyd® Brown Found a !

but, to their amazement, the figure of a man was lying on the bed.He was fully dressed, and for a minute after they entered he gave no aigu of life.Then he sighed and groaned and tossed about as if in great pain.There were the stand and the glas# and the W’hisk3’, and one had only to aniff at the contenta of the glass to feel sure that it was a case of drugging.A doctor was aent for, and for the next ten hours he did not leave the patient for a minute.It was a close call for the guest, but he finally began to rally and w’as taken to a hospital.It was three or four days before he could tell bis story and a fortnight before he got out.lie was a stranger in the city, with a thousand dollars In his pocket, and had t>cen roped in by the gang and eventually drugged and robbed.An hour later he would have been dead, and the programme of the woman’a dream would probably have been carried out; at least the fellows were waiting for him to breathe his last before disposing of the body.While nothing could be proved in law’, we raided the house and broke up the gang, and the landlord got such a warning of trouble to come that he thought best to make a change of eR-mate.The reporters got a big item, of course, and 1 received a compliment or two, and the dreamer, I am happy to say, was rewarded with $10U in cash and made the happiest woman In town.Beared the Old Sbvhae.When the well known African trav-eler, Dr.Robert Felkin, was staying with the bloodthirsty King Mtesa of Uganda many years ago, the king, out of gratitude for his visitor’s medical treatment, wished to cut off his head.On Dr.Felkin representing that the treatment was not finished and that if interrupted It would cause Mtesa’s death the latter granted him a reprieve until he was quite recovered.Then, however, nothing availed, and the execution was determined upon.Emin Pasha, who was a friend of Dr.Felkin, had Instructed him most accurately about the state of affairs In Uganda and the court of King Mtesa and had revealed to him an important state secret—namely, where Mtesa’s powder store was hidden.Dr.Felkin remembered this at the right moment and as a last resort threatened that If Mtesa killed him he would bring down a flash of lightning upon his powder ¦tore.Mtesa replied Incredulously, “Tell me where It Is.” Whereupon Dr.Felkin whispered in his ear, “It Is concealed under your harem.” Mtesa turned pale and allowed Felkin and his companions to live.The “lightning maker’s” authority Increased when next day a flash of lightning happened to strike near the harem.IleadBche and the Fye».Eye strain should be the first thought suggested by any complaint of headache, for It is by far the most common cause of that symptom.The simple existence of headache, therefore, should suggest e>’e strain, but frequently a careful inquiry ns to the manner and time of the attack and the location of the severest pain will be almost conclusive as to the origin of the trouble.Often it comes on whenever the eyes are used and is absent whenever the eyes have had a proper season of rest.Congestion, irritability or inflammation of the eyes and their appendages should always suggest the suspicion of eye strain.A single attack or manifestation of this kind lias no special sig niticance, but repeated attacks of inflammation or prolonged congestion or irritability are suggestive of a continuing cause.A strange thing with reference to eye strain is that It often exists to an exceptional degree without showing any symptoms in the C3’e.The patient will often say that the eyes are perfectly good and have never caused any irritation.The Iff ppopot Atnna.Next to the elephant the hugest beast In point of bulk and weight Is the hippopotamus.Of this animal Sir Samuel Baker has seen hundreds of specimens on the White Nile.One that he measured was 14 feet 3 inches long from snout to tip of talk The crocodile never ventures to attack the hippopotamus, which for its part disdains to attack the crocodile.Although, like the rhinoceros.this monarch of mid-African rivers is not carnivorous, it is very formidable to man, being easily provoked and assailing the object of its resentment with reckless fury.It can upset the largest boat, and In one Instance perforated with fis tusks the iron bottom of Sir Samuel’s steamer, causing a dangerous leak.The flesh of the hippopotamus is always palatable, and when the animal Is young it Is delicious.The skin makes excellent turtle soup.The tusks were formerly more valuable than those of the elephant, being in request by dentists because they never turn yellow.Twlc# Proml.“Only twice,” said a well known lawyer, “have I really been proud.The* first time was years ago In court.I’d been admitted and had had charge of the preparation of an important suit.The jury brought In a verdict for our side, and I felt happy, but after I’d collected the papers and books and was going out my chief, who was one of the lights of the bar in those days, put his hand on my shoulder and said: ‘You prepared that case well, my boy.If It hadn’t been for you we’d have been beaten.* And l knew It was so.for he had comeback from Washington only that morning and had had to depend entirely on my work.And the second time 1 felt proud wajs when my married sister came Into my library early one afternoon and said in a half whisper, ‘It’s a boy.’ Exchange.If a child eat* ravenously, grinds the teeth at night and picks its nose, you may almost be certain it ha* worms and should administer ' without delay Dr Ixyw s Pleasant Worm Syrup, this remedy contains its own cathartic.British ships can to-day carry 30,300,000 tons, against 3,400 in 1850.5iin\r's Llclmcat Cores Ilstempsr* St.Peter’s, Home, can accom* modate 51,000 worshippers;

if heterogeneous, a multiple tail.An Unfortunate Answer.Of an official who died as the head of one of the Great Northern sj’stems and who was one of the fathers of modern railroading the following story is told: Once, when master mechanic, he was staying In the country.An afternoon walk brought him to the edge of a cutting through which ran his line.On a side track lay a waiting engine.The fireman and engineer were smoking placidly, while the safety valve wat giving open evidence of the size of the fire within.As the engine was doing nothing in /articular, this waste of coal roused the ire of the man on the hank.“Who Is your master mechanic ?” he Inquired of the loafing fireman.“Oh, some gray bearded, baldheaded old blankety blank blank fool down In Boston,” was the cheerful answer.“Well,” returned the other as not t muscle of his face changed, “I’m that gray bearded, baldheaded old blankety blank blank fool from Boston, and you want to bank those fires, and bank them P.D.Q!” The fireman, ft is needless to say, did ns he was bid.—New York Tribune.Windsor Castle has been used as a Royal residence for 7W year*.DR.WOOD’S NORWAY PINE SYRUP.A positir# euro for all Throat, Lang •nd Bronchial diseases.Healing and soothing ia its actioa.Pleasant to take, prompt and eCTsc-taai in its results.Vfr.Okas.Johnson, Bear River, N.S., writes : “I was troubled with hoarseness and sore throat, which the doctor pronounced Bronchitis and recommended me to try Dr.Wood’s Norway Pine Syrup.I did so, and after using three bottles I was entirely oared ” Take a Laxa-Liver Pill before retir-ing 'Twill work while you sleep -.vlth-•ut a gripe oi pain caring blliousnese, constipation, tick headache and dyspepsia and make you feel better ia the norning Price 25e.COMMITTEES, 1901- E.B.Worthiaeton, Mayor /IH ANCF.—Coun.Cate chaimaa, with ( McMaoaiay, J«uck«* aod Forùer.AOAD—C.ur.McManamy chairman, with Fortier.Jcnckc» and Lonctot.AT ATE R WORKS—Coon.Je nek», chair mar McManamy, Cate and Coders.with FIXE—Coan.Fuller, Fortier, chairman, Caron and Wil»on.with Coons.I POLICE—Coon.Oi-vicr chairman, with Coons.Wilson, Codeie and Thompson.LIGHT—Coun.Caron, chairman, with Conns Fuller'.Codcre and Wilson.SANITARY—Coun.Fuller, chairman, with Coons.Fortier, Thompson and Lanctot.REAL ESTATE AND FARK-Coun.Codere.Chair-man, with Conns.Cate, Olivier and Thompson.MARKET—Councillor Thompson, chairman with Coun».Caron, Fuller and Lanctot.CITY HaLL—Coun.WiLson, cnairman, with Conn*.Olivier, Jencltc» and Lanctot.POOR—The Mayor and the Police Committee.PIOLINE ÎHÂPOtEAUT) flV.^ J Fob LADIES Oxlt.;
