During the evening Miss Minnie Joy and Mrs. Fawcett rendered two beautiful solos in their masterly way. According to the statement's.? road by the superintend- ent. Mr. Felsted, this school is in a pros- perous condition, there being an average attendanco of 59. The incone for the year was ?66.74 and exdenditure $61.47. Seventy papers per week werediatributed.

The Greatest Family Remedy And one weU] known in most Canadian homes is Nerviline, a perfect panacea for all internal and external pain. Mrs. M. Cartwright of Morris says; â€" "I couldn't think of being without Nerviline. When I get tootliache Nerviline stops it. If I get a sick headache, have a trouble with my stomach or bowels, I can rely on Ner viline to cure me promptly. To break up a cold or rub on for rheumatism or neur- algia, Nerviline has no equal. It's price- less in any family. Norviline is king over all pam and costs 25o. â- ^O^e' SHEPPARD Election Cards To the Electbri of f-e Tp. of Ariemetia Ladibs and GPNTLBiotMâ€" Your vote and in- fluBQce is teapectfully solicited for oouncillor at tile Arteiueaia coaucil board, for tlio ensuing year.
