T. Watson. WICKLOW Miss Maud Card spent several days last week with friends in Colborne. Interesting letters aud photo are to hand from Mr. W. Clarence who lived here for several years and who is now living at Almonte. Mr. and Mrs. Robison and family expect to return into this neighborhood to take possession of the farm which they recently purchased, and which is at present occupied by Mr. Chas. Foster. The Port Hope Guide gives a very interesting account of a pleasant affair which took place on Thursday evening of last week when a large number of citizens of that town met at the Methodist parsotfirtje to say farewell to Rev. P. K. Dayfoot aud wife who are moving to Orillia. An appreciative address was read by Rev E. Daniel, Episcopolion; A very happy speech was delivered by by Rev. A. G. Sinclair. Presbyterian, and then iu behalf of the citizens Rev. E. B. Lauce-ly Methodist, presented Mr. Dayfoot PROMPT PAYMENT OF MACCA-BEE CLAIMS. It is always satisfactory to learn of the prompt payment of claims by societies, whose members fall by the way.' Especially is this the case when the person who has been called to his reward was a member or' one of our own noble fraternal orders. The members of Park Tent No. 44, Knights of the Maccabees, of Colborne, pride themselves on the fact that no jnst claims against their order are ever needlessly delayed, but that all claims are paid in Canadian currency and at par. On Wednesday last a cheque for one thousand dollar; was received from the Supreme Tent of the Knights of the Maccabees in payment of the certificate held by the late A. W. Dudley, who was a member of that order. The necessary claim was sent the 25th of Febru-payable ary aud the cheq the Bank of Toronto arrived 4th inst., just one week after the the TAKE A MOTOR: - WORD. Ir. G. A.

Bimti Thousands of mothers in all parts of Canada, have written to .-ny that Baby's Own Tablets are the best medicine they have ever used for the little ills that afflict all children. It is impossible to publish all these letters, for they would more than fill a news paper, but the following extracts are a fair sample of what all mothers say about this n edicine: Mrs. Jas. Hopkins, Tobermory Ont. --"The tablets are a blessing to both mother and child." Mrs. Jooj Dobbie, St. Andrews East, Que.,--"I consider it my duty to recommend Baby's Own Tablets to i,i my friend* w ho have children." - A. Burns.

We noticed in the items recently sent in from Salem to the Express, that the correspondent made reference to the new mode of raising money for the church. We judge by his remarks that he does not approve of the plan and he says if it succeeds he will inform the public. Now we think it is too long to keep them In suspense, as it is not to be adopted un;il the coining year. We will give tho public at once the gist of it. The Board of the circuit recommended that a committee be appointed for each appointment and that they be asked to wait on both members snd nonmembers, askiug them if they would be willing to pay a certain amount laid upon them to defray the expenses of the ciicuil. There is nothing compulsory in the matter. There was no "nit" dug. It was simply to ask for co-operation with the Board. Probably the correspondent was not present at the meeting or ' been looking through the wrong gl; We fail to see how- the passage Scripture referred to applies to the Circuit Board. Mrs. A. W. Higgins, North River, N. S.--"I cannot praise the Tablets too much. They are the best medi-;ine for children I have ever used," You can take the words of these mothers with every confidence, and you have a positive guarantee that the Tablets contain ub opiate or harmful drug. No other medicine gives a similar guarantee. Sold by druggists or sent by mail at 25 cents a box by writing direct to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

At times the patches of raw, flaming flesh would extend from my waist to my neck and from the knees to the ankles. The intense itching almost drove me crazy and though I tried all the local physicians, they could not even relieve the suffering. The flesh would crack open, and I don't believe anyone ever suffered more than I did. " I was told of Dr. Chase's Ointment but did not believe that it could help me. After the fifth application of this preparation, I began to feel the benefit of its soothing, healing effects, and now attribute a cure to the uersistent use of this wonderful remedy. * It is truly worth its weight in gold and I never tire of recommending it to other sufferers."
