Friday, Jan. 1st, 1904. m We wishall our readers a very happy and prosperous New Year. Village Nominationséand Elections. The village nominations were held on Monday last, according to law, and last year's rcevc and councillors and’ the retired school trustees and watercour- missioner were all re-elccted by acclaim- motion. About five minutes before the nominations closed. nomination papers for Mr. M. H. MeCallum and Mr. Thomas Scott were put in ;.. but both of them declined to- run, and thus saved the village the expense and trouble of an election. At one o‘clock the return~ inu oflicer, Mr. W. T. Junkin, was unan- imously voted into the chair. and brief addresses were delivered by Reeve Mc Farland and Councillors Austin and Deyman. , Mr. F. McDonnell, chairman of the school board, Was then called upon. and explained how it is that more money is required for school purposes than for- merly. He spoke first of the salaries paid to the teachers, some of whom had asked for an increase, which had not been granted. because the term for which they had agreed to teach at. their pres- ent salaries had not expired; but he thought that. theyâ€"or. at least, some of themâ€"were not paid enough; and we quite agree with him. Fault. had been found with the trustees for buying a lot. for which they had paid $200, adjoin- ing the south i'ard school ground ; but he thought the purchase was quitejust- iii-able. and said that the trustees hoped to get, another lot on the other side, as the playground was altogether too small Then, the new fencing, new flooring and other improvements which were abso- lutely necessary would cost from three hundred to four hundred dollars, and not only was lumber almost twice its old price. but cordwood was nearly two dollars a cord dearer than it used to bee few years ago. He thought the public was pretty wall satisfied, as there was no opposition to the re-election of the retiringr trustees. County Commissioner Austin was in- vited to the platform, and spoke at some length upon the projected House of Refuge in Lindsay and the Good Roads movement, and. while upon the- lattcr topic, strongly advised this muni- clpulity to purchase a stone crusher, and not to put a mixture of mud and gravel upon the streets.

Many cold cures are dangerous because composed of deadening opiates. But frag- rant, healing Catarrhozone cures colds in one hour and is both harmless and delight- ful to use. Even the worst colds, sneezing, sniffling colds with running eyes, are stop- ped very quickly when the balsamic vapor of Catarrhozone is inhaled. Catarrhozone acts like a charm on colds, kills them. out- right, prevents their return a few hours later. For colds, catarrh and throat trouble use only Cetarrhozone.
