He was daily growing weaker; his feet were swollen to twice their natural size, and-the cold hand of death was upon his brow. "Its no use," he said feebly, "the doctors medicine is not helping me and I am going down rapidly." 1 prayed with him as for a man soon to pass into eternity, and when I took his hand in parting it was the last time I ex- pected to see him in the flesh, Three yeas later while on another visit to my mother's Michael Olding was seemingly in better health than 1 had ever seen him, for, as I said, he had always been ailing.

PORT PERRY, MAY 6, 2908 The Asquith Government Has |of introdnoed in Parliament its bill to disestablish the Church of England in Wales. Mr. W. R. Davis, editor of the Mitchell Advocate, has just enteted upon his soth year as editor and publisher of that journal. The U. S. customs officials think the revenue is defrauded out of $600,000 a year by the smuggling into the country of Paris gowns, In less than six years, 338,000 American farmers have pulled dp stakes in 'the States" and moved #0 free homesteads in the Canadian Northwest. There are over 220 cups of "Sa- Mada" Tea to the pound; conse- quently at 40 cents per pound, the -consumer receives tea at the low «cost of one-fifth of a cent a cup. There are few other beverages so economical and so healthful as #Salada" Tea.

Mr, Smith has written you about my wonderful cure, for I confidently believe that if it had been for De. Walliams' Pink Pills 1 would have been dead long ago. It would be impossible to exaggerate the desperate condition I was in when 1 began to use the Pills. No one thought I could get better. I scarcely dared hope myself that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills would bring me through, but they did and I have ever since enjoyed good health. Though I am seventy-nine years old people are always remarkh.g how well I look--and Ifeel young. I can do a fair day's work, and I am better in sVary way than I had been for years. cannot say too much in praise of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I take every oppor- tunity I can to recommend them to friends who are ailing." Montreal Gazette--Mr. Fielding is being hurrahed for in the Gov- ernment newspapers because on Tuesday he announced his twelfth annual "surplus." He is being mourned over in business - circles because at the same lire he an- nounced that in one yedr hé had added his 46th million to the debt. And the addition fo the debt fs real, while the surplts is a myth. One imagines that the Apostle Paul, on his missionary, wore just about such an outfit as that which decorates the portraits of the Right Rev. Charles Hamilton, Bishop of Ottawa and Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada, now appéating in the. newspkpérs. but he must have divested himself such regalia while working at his trade as a tent-maker. --e---- Port Petty Oounil.

AN ImporRTANT REAL EsTtaTR TraNsacTION. --Mr. Henry McKen. zie, a former resident here, has purchased the beautiful resldental property of the estate of th late Aaron Ross, on the corner of Perry and Cassimir Streets in this place.

A former resident of Port Perry, but now one of Manitoba's solid yeomanry, 'in the person of Mi. Joseph Brown, made Tue OBserVER a pleasant visit on Monday last. Thirteen years ago Mr. Brown and farnily took up a quarter section in the Prairie Province where he has sucéeeded beyond his most sanguine expectatioh. He speaks highly of that province in every respect, al- though .he has for the past few years suffered considerably from asthma. That the Brown family are weighty in more respects than one is evidenced by their avoirdu- pois--four of the family weighing 895 pounds--Mr. Brown weighs 260, Mrs. Brown 220; their eldest son, John, 215, and daughter, Miss Brown, 20d: ------ Diet Not The Whole Thing.
