County Council Chairmen At the County Council last week the one interesting contest was that involv- ing the olectio* of chairman of the Fi- nance Committee. The two candidates were Dr. Mearns of Hanover and J. A. Boyd of Flesherton. Friends of both candidates were enthusiastic, and keen canvassing was e.xercised. After the opening of Council on Wednesday morn- ing the Finance Committee retired to the judge's room to elect a chairman, when it was resolved to depart from the usual custom of show of hands and make the choice by ballot. This resulted as fol- lows : Dr. Mearns 12, J. A. Boyd 12. This caused a halt in the proceedings, and after some discussion the Clerk was called in. The slate of the ballot was explained and advice asked as to proced- ure. The Clerk ruled that it was the duty of the Warden to cast the deciding vole. If the Warden refused, then the municipality having the largest assess- ment had the privilege. However, the Warden cast a ballot for Dr. Meiirns and all was over. This new departure of electing by ballot was exorcised tlirough- out the election of chairmen of commit- tees. Mr. Boyd was also nominated for chairman of C junty Property and also as member of Judicial Board of Audit, but with the consent of his mover and sec- onder withdrew his name in each case. Following are th echairmen of commit- tees as appointed ao County Council last week. Finance and Assessmentâ€" Dr. Monrns. Road and Bridge â€" Mr. Sinclair. County Pro{)crty â€"Mr. .Johnston.

"It needs only the additional strain following a slump in business world like 1907-8 to bring many business men to the ver.v limit of their physical endurance. Things began to get tight with me early in August, '07," writes Truman J. Harcourt from Wilming- ton. "Larger payments in connection with my contracts had to be made, and it took so much of my capital that I found myself on the ragged edge. I had worked very hard and had per- haps smoked too much, so when pres- sure demanded strength my nerves gave out. I lost my appetite, couldn't set to sleep before one or two, and it looked a s i f I were all In. "I was reading the Telegraph and noticed the won- derful work done by 'Ferrozone.' I read of a case of nervousness it had cured and decided to try it myself. I am not going lo tell you of my ups ind downs during the first three weeks â€" one day I would feel pretty well, the next day like thirty cents. In three or four weeks the effect of Ferrozone was manifest. I gained steadily â€" tliafs the best of a good medicine. Ail I gained I kept, and co-day I am as sound, strong and vlg- iirous as a young boy."
