..~ ~. ANOTHER YEAR ~ HAS PASSED AWAY, A year with lots of trouble financially for the men“ in business. As I have had my share of it, I. ask my,customers who have not settled last year's account to come forward and settle at once. It gives me a good light heart, it cases theirs, it saves a'lot of anxiety and worry of mind and enables me to pay off my own liabilities and to cheerfully serve with a glad heart my customers for the coming year.

The Freeport Journal contains the fol- lowing notice of these Mills: -i The citizens of Freeport always take pride in the progress of its citi- zens, and especially in the development of its industries, for much of our pros- perity depends on their success. We have a number of strong and enter- prising manufacturing concerns in this city, and among them the Stover mart- nfaeturing company occupies a leading place. Their exhibit at the World’s Fair has been the centre of attraction in the windmill division all summer, and energetic .\lr.Johu M. Irwin, super- intendent of agencies, with able assis- tance, has had his hands full and his tongue more than ordinarily busy ex- plaining the merits of the Ideal Pump- ing Wind Mill and Ideal Junior Sec- tional Power Mill, and booking orders for them. Mr. Irwin reports business done with numerous foreign countries, and within the last few weeks the company has arranged with a live Canadian firm, Iliessrs. Goold, Shapley 8; Muir 00., (Ltd), of Brantford, Can- ada, to manufacture and sell the Ideal and Ideal Junior wind-mills, exclu- sively in Canada. Mr. E. L. Goold, president, and Mr. John Muir, vice- ~ president, were in the city recently arranging the details, and they report the prospects for business in Canada as excellent. Mr. Muir, who, by the way, is a noted salesman, said some very complimentary things about the members of the Stover Manufacturing company, and their honorable way of doing business, also about the excel- lence of their goods, but we will not tell more for fear it might make the worthy members of that company blush. We can endorse all Mr. Muir said about their business enterprise and integrity.” The Fenelon Falls Gazette. Friday. March 2nd, 1894. Better Times Ahead. As will be seen by the council pro- ceedings published in another column, some kind of a three-cornered arrange- ment has been come to between the firm of Howry & Son, the executors of the Smith estate and Mr. John Thomson by which the logs from the Americans’ limits will be converted into lumber at Fenelon Falls; and it makes no differ- ence what the arrangement is, so long as the mills be set going and a large ad- dition be made to the pepnlation of the village. Mr. Thomson’s ofi'er to the council was to sign a bond to run the mills five months every year with a force of at least fifty men, in consider- ation of the property being exempted from municipal taxes for a period often years; but in private conversation he said that the mills would probably be run nearly all the year round, as the Howrys have any "amount of capital, own a locomotive and several trucks, and can, by building a cheap tramway from their limits to the nearest point on the G. T. R., bring their logs to the Falls by rail when the rivers and lakes are frozen up. That the logs will be cut here there can be no longer any doubt, and Mr. Thomson said that if the village acted liberally regarding taxes, as it certainly has done, the terms of agreement between thc Howrys and the Smith executm's-44â€"which were to re- main open until the 10th of Marchâ€"- would be put into writing and signed by the contracting parties On Saturday nextâ€"to-morrow. It really looks as if, after long and weary waiting, better times were coming at last, and within a very few days after the bargain is closed men will be at work on the old_mill, which is to be filled with new machinery as soon as possible. Sam ’s Inconsistency. Here is a pagragraph we missed in glancing over the Whitby Chronicle two or three weeks ago, but which has not spoiled by keeping: “ The Lindsay Wardm' is showing a pair of savage teeth because ex-M. 1’. P. Crness is an active Patron and a warm supporter of Patron Candidate Camp- bell. The ll’urvlnr supported Bro. Cru- ess as a Conservative candidate in 1886, yet now it says he has “ few positive reeommendations." If the Warder means what it says, it also means that it would have supported the proverbial " ynlier dog ” it it were made the candi- date for his party. Bro. Cruess isa stalwart farmer, an honorable man and an independent elec‘or. The publisher of the Warrior is the well-known Sam Hughes, a rabid partisan of recent pugi- listic fame and Tory M. P. fonNorth Victoria." ' i - " * . Sam Hughes‘s inconsistency is the re- sult of what. a good many years ago, the late Hon. Thomas White called “ po- litical exigencies," a phrase belonging to the some genus as “ klept/omaniac " of the rccve. Dnndas, & Flavelle Brothers, Dealers in Dry Goods, Clothing, Milliner , ~ and “emotional insanity," and invented as an excuse for just such wobbling as Sam has been guilty of. But his with~ drawal from supporting' Mr. Crness isn't a patch to the formal withdrawal of his allegiance from Sir Joint A. Macdonald about live years ago, because, said Sam: “ principles before party every time is our metto and we stand or fall by it. We will not follow or support a leader controlled by Romanism.” At. that time Sam kicked over the tractrs on the utes of last meeting read and confirmed.

That sawing the horns OI? IS, UX‘ j-‘turncd to meet again on Saturday’ cept in rare cases, exceedingly painful March 24th, is beyond a doubt, but the destruction of the germ in the forehead of a calf is . ' scarcely felt, and it can be done by either of the following processes, one of which is recommended by the Georgia Experimental Station, and'thc lother by the St. Mary Argus:â€" “ Take a stick of caustic potash, dip the end in water, rub it for about ten seconds on the spot where one of the horns is to appear. Then re-wet it and apply in the same way to the other horn. Repeat the application immediately. Nothing more will be necessary. The calf will never have a horn if the opera- tion is performed before it is three days old.” The “ Argus” says that one of the St. Mary’s milk vendors claims there is an easier way. “ Before the calf is four weeks old if a sharp knife is taken and a circle cut round the embryo horn, which is up to that age not attached to the skull, and the germ removed, it causes very little pain and soon heals. If dehorning is an advantage to cattle and some method can be adopted to pre- vent the horn from growing, it will be infinitely better than sawing off the born after maturity.” ' M__.. . Personals.
