They don’t know the power of Print- er’s ink. and have to be con- vinced before they are converted. Robert Barbour, of Varney. is a can- tious man and doesn’t spend a great deal unless he thinks he’s getting value for it. Well Robert had some cows to sell, and he came in one day and put an ad in the paper paying his money about as reluctantly as if he was giving it to the Missionary collectors. He didn't even smile as he paid it. and we were half inclined to think he begrudged ’it to us, we shoved the dollar down into our pock et, however, and heard nothing more about it till Friday last when Mr Barbour called at our sanctum, with the most beautiful smile you ever saw. My but he was happy when it told us to take the ad out as the cow.-: were all sold shortly after its appear ance and that he was literally besieg- ed by prospective cow buyers whom he couldn’t satisfy. If he had been asked for anather dollar we have no reason to believe he wouldn’t give it without a murmur. Mr. Barbour is now convinced oi the power of print- er’ s ink and a true convert to the add vieabiiity 0! advertising in the Chronicle. on account of wet snow and ice frozen on and between the reils.

Since the foregoing we: in type the trains have started running and prospects are brighter. AFTER a tie-up for {our full weeks the train made a trip to Palmerston and back on Saturday afternoon last. Just three weeks ago last Saturday an effort was made to go over the same ground, but on account of the blockaded condition of the roads and ditching of an engine near Holstein the train had to back home from that point. From that time on the roads were completely blocked from ice and snow in the track and hundreds of dollars had to be expended in getting it Opened up. On Monday morning last the train pulled out again, but had to return after passing Holstein, DON’T fail to nttend Irolnnd’l Spring , Millinory Opening on Wednesday and Thursday of next week, March 30th and :ilst. it.

Mrs. George Matthews. one of the oldest residents and one who had been amongst the earliest settlers in this part of the country, passed awav from toil to rest, from labour to re- ward. on the evening of Wednesday, ' March 16th at the home of her daugh- ter, Mrs. H. C. McKechnie of Upper Town, where on account of increas- ing feebleness and the infirmities of age she had resided for some time. Mrs. Matthews was born in the Old Land and united in marriage to George Matthews who preceeded her some years ago across the bourne from whence no traveller returns. Of her I family she leaves‘daughters and sons, : a number of grandchildern and great {grandchildren survive to mourn her. lloss. Mrs. Matthews left no dying message but better still. both in the home and the community she left a testimony for her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Mrs. Matthews was converted in early life and carried the assurance and bore the stamp of its certainty through many years of her long life. By profession and con viction she was a member of the Methodist church and believed that the old lines could not be improved on. She loved to speak of her assoc- iation with the sainted William (Billy) Bray in his evangelistic labors :in the Home Land. Her testimony was. bright and clear. She was al- ways ready to take part in the ser- vices of the church of her choice as long as health and strength permitted putting many to shame who were physically much abler than herself. She was a diligent reader of‘all kinds of good literature and when not as easy as formerly to attend public Wbrship literature was her solace and she fed her mind on gOOd books, and among these the Bible was perman- out. In her last days when she could no longer read she repeated hymns and passages of Scripture from mem- ory finding in them great solace and comfort. The funeral service was conducted in the home and at the grave by the Rev. F. Ryan of Dar» ham. ' There are three Millineries in town and each has the latest, and most up- to date creations.
