H, JENNINGS, King St. AT AMHERST ISLAND ANNUAL FAIR HELD ON THE 26TH ULT. Entries Not So Large As in the Past--Exhibits Were Good, However -- The Prize List Given. Amherst Island, Oct. 2.--Amherst Is- land fair was hetd at Stella on Tues day, September 26th, 'Lhe weather could not have been more favorable, and as usual a large number of peo- ple came over on the steamer Aletha from Bath and other parts and almost every ons on the island turned out. Ihe entries were not as large as oth- er years, but on the whole there was a very good exhibit. The judges pro- nounced the show of horses of an ex- celient quality and the ladies' class was well filled with many fine speci- mens of their handiwork. The sheey are not very numerous an the island, consequently there was a small exhi- bit, but good of their kind. In the cattle exhibit, Mr. Richey showed a fine Durham bull and Mr, Howard, a fine Holstein bull. Owing to plenty of pasture the cattle were all in good shape. There should have been a larger display of pigs, but the difficulty of bringing them out keeps the exhibit small. Mr. Roney, King- ston, added to the day's enjoyment by offering a prize for the fastest sin gle horse, and the race took place in the afternoon, at which Mrs. Bray's chestnut came in an easy winner. I he same gentleman kindly gave a prize for the best butter, and Mr. Glen, Jr., was the winner. Mr. Caughery, from the penitentiary offered a prize forsthe best looking child of one-year-old, but none came forward, Mr. Ronay said that he was glad to help the Is- landers, and make some acknowledge ment of their custom or hoped next year to get some others of the merch: ants to come forward and contribute to the prize list, a promise which the society are very grateful to him for, and also return their thanks to him for hia assistance this year.

Keep Your Grip on Health Physical Bankruptcy Build Up With Dr. Chase's Nerve Food When Threatens, Gloomy forebodings, fear of the fu ture, apprehension of something dread ful to befall you, worry over little things, restlessness, insomnia, irrita bility-- these are the indications of an exhausted nervous system, They tell more plainly than words, more plainly than pains and aches, that, gradually but certainly, the nerve force df the body is being con sumed more rapidly than it is being created, They point to physical bank ruptey--to helplessness of mind and body--to prosteation, paralysis or lo comotor ataxia. There are certain elements of nature which go to form new blood and new nerve cells--to create new nerve force, the foundation of life, energy and vi talitv, These clements are so com bined in Dr. Chase's Nerve Foor ax to be easily assimilated by the most weakened human body, Being composed of such ingredients, Dr. Chase's Nerve Food cannot pos sibly fail to be of benefit to you, snd its regular and persistent use will build up and revitalize. the most ex hausted amd discouraged sufferer You eannot compare Dr, Chase's Nerve Food with any medicine you ever used, for it cures by the building up process, whereas most nerve treat ments merely soothe and deaden the nerves. Test this treatment by noting your increase in weight. George W. Lawson, a farmer living near Consecon. and well and favor ably known throughout Prince ¥d ward county, Ont,, writes : "About one year ago 1 was taken sick and feit myseli failing every day 1 consulted and doctored with several eminent physicians, but received no permanent benefit. In fact they told me they could do nothing for me ex cept to afiord temporary relief, as il was aygeneral breaking up of old age. v nerves were exhausted, and pny whole system completely broken an. "I was just at death's door, and. thinking my time to die had come, T gave up hove and resigned myself to fate. At this time my wife read in the papers about some of the, wonder- ful cures being brought about by Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, and 1 began us ing it, "This treatment helped me from the first, and 1 eontirued to keep it up for six months, when T was fully re stored to health, To-day 1 am a well man, and made so hy Dr. Chase's Nerve Food at a trifling cost, All this in spite of the fact that IT spent a large sum of money with physicians only to be pronounced imeurgble.
