Public Park in some convenient situation, and of otherwise beautifying the town was discussed, anda committee was ap- pointed to bring the matter formally before the council. We hope this may be the means of stirring council and citizens to the need of giving more attention to this important branch of civic improvement. The following oflicers were elected for 190:5 :- - The president. Mr. C. Firth, occu- pied the chair, and on account of the unavoidable absence of the Secretary. Mr. 'l‘hos. Brown, through illness. Mr. Thus. Davis was appointed sec- retary pro tem After the minutes were read and confirmed, the presi- dent gave a brief tent lucid sketch of the year’s operations, which proved interesting and satisfactory. The Society has nearly one hundred mem- bers. and each member receives the Horticulturist, a paper worth more than the membership fee to any per- son, besides a large number of prem- iums in the shape cf trees. shrubs, bulbs. etc.. at greatly reduced special prices. The premiums during 1902 were decidedly superior to those of former years on account of the watch- ful oversight of the president.

A promptly satisfactory cure for Cramps, Colic, Indigestion, Heart- burn, Billiousness, Sick Stomach and Summer Complaint, is a few drops of Nerviline in sweetened water}. Nerv- iline at once relieves pain and sufier- ing, erradicates the cause of the trouble and cures permanently. Pol- son’s Nerviline is the best general purpose remedy for internal pains known; it acts so quickly that no household should be without it. Buy a 25c. bottle of Nerviline today, it’s all right. ' The membership fee is only twen- ty-five cents, and it is quite safe to say that the good literature received is worth at least twice that amount. Quite a number of members were secured at both the evening and at- ternoon meetings. Great interest was shown by the way the ladies took part in the dis- cussions which followed. Miss Kate Dixon also gave a good paper on " Home Dairying." In the evening there was a union meeting in the Town Hall. Mrs. Campbell addressed the meeting on the “Four Cardinal Points of Health,” and was listened to with great inter- est. Mrs. Colin Campbell addressed the meeting and gave an excellent paper on the “Cooking of Meats,” which was very inStructive, and those who did not attend this meeting missed some good information. A very successful meeting was held in the Foresters’ Hall, Holstein, on Friday, 6th inst., at which there was an attendance of about forty ladies. Lost Hearing Quickly Restored. No matter whether of long stand. ing or not deafness can be perman- ently cured by CATARRHOZONE, which never fails even in the worst cases. The pleasant-scented vapor of Ca- tarrhozone allays inflammation, pre- vents and cures the catarrhal condi- tion that causes (leafless and relieves right away. Thousands have proved the efficiency of Catarrhozone. and with such a valuable remedy within easy reach there is no longer any reason for people to remain deaf.

As to this kind of independence in journalism being best for the whole country there can be no two opinions but it is also best for each political party. Nothing could have a more demoralizing efiect on statesmansliip than the feeling in the mind of a statesman that, no matter what he does or leaves undone. he is sure of the support of his party press; noth- ing could be more efiective in promot- ing the habit of forethought than the knowledge that the party press can- not be depended on to defend the indefensible. i 5 It was inevitable that the prevalent l tendency towards independence in ’Canadian journalism should occupy a l Canadian Press Association at its late 'annual meeting. The theme was in- ttodut ed by the President in his an- l nual address, and over ahd ovet avain ;it came up incidentally in the course of deliberations. 'tV hile the great , majority of those present were ident- ilied with party newspapers, there was clearly apparent among them the conviction that it is quite possible to be independent in the expression of political opinions while remaining within the {old of a political party. That this is becoming the view of the general public is evident. from many indications. and it is better so. The tnost effective check to wrongdoing‘ on the part of politicians is the ex- pression of an adverse opinion by a journal of their own political com- plexion. What the wrongdoing pol- itician fears most is not the ordinary utterances of an “ independent ” pa- per, but. the independent utterance of a journal which ordinarily supports him. At the annual meeting of the Can- adian Press Association the independ- ent newspapers received considerable attention. This is what the Globe has to say on the tendency of Canadian Journalism in Canada: . A small child of Mr. A. H. Clarke, which was insured for a small amount died under peculiar circumstances, gt Collingwood last week. The doctor who was called to the house by the father found the child cold in death and came to the conclusion that the death had been caused by a convulsion of some kind. The father of the child stated to the doctor that he had placed strychnine on cheese to kill rats and that the child had eaten the cheese and also that he had insured the child’s life. The circumstances aroused the suspicions of the doctor, who thereupon performed a. post- mortum examination and found cheese in the stomach of the child as stated by the father. The mother of the child stated that she had given the child some beer from a glass from which she had drunk and which had made her deathly sick. The circum- stances led to a Cornor’s inquest, when the above facts were brought out. Clarke was arreSted during the proceedings and is held awaiting fur- ther develomnents. Mr. Anbrey A. Bond has been retained to defend the prisoner. The inquest was adjourned until this week. when Crown Attor- ney Cmter will take charge of the proceedings. their lshors the boys were given n deuce st night. The trustees hove plsced s screen eround the school stove to prevent the pupiis sitting near it from getting too warm. They have also added a map of the county of Grey to the supply of maps. Both of these were much-needed improvements. What’s the matter with the school bell ? Peculiar Death of a collingwood Infant THE FATHER ARRESTED. Independent J onrnalism. ~90..- Mr. D.
