Hanson, the Baptist preacher who has been holding a series of meetings at D. V. for the past two weeks, departed Monday, leaving behind him, a host of friends. Mr. Hanson made a good impression at this place. During the past months two of our Gifford friends made numerous trips to Dunnville in quest of a dog. They call the dog a sequestered dog in their report on their returns. An anti-dog fog hangs over the country like a cloud during April and May, however. Talking about drinking out of creampitchers reminds me of a lady that drank coffee out of a cup with a piece broken out of it. She was one of those bashful girls, a woman that doesn’t talk, only in self-defense. While drinking coffee of the 4-x brand she can talk, like a poet. Coffee is surely a blessing. The Modern Woodmen of Dunnville husked corn for Oscar Graves last Monday, thus giving a practical demonstration of the teachings of that excellent order. The world at large is getting tired of theory and specnlation, and demands a practiced application, which the lodge in this instance has exhibited. Dunnville can raise up his stately frame and say, with the spirit of pride, "Hurrah for Judge Coffin!’’ Squire Coffin is a full-fledged justice of the peace now. He is ready to begin adding stars to his diadem. Remember, boys and girls, that matrimony with his ghost-like frame should come to every one, and when he comes to you, remember that Judge Coffin can seal your fate in as dignified a manner as any man in Jasper county. A star will be added to his crown for every marriage performed. A young gentleman of D, V., played a double role last Saturday evening, but of course his darling girl is unaware of act number two. While at church he manifested great interest in the services by singing like a newly-invented cherub; at the ball, a couple of hours later, he showed that he was a battery of wonderful dexterity, a scion of the Royal family of feet mamfestators. A coat sometimes contains two persons. Persohs, like things, are not always what they seem. There will be a social at the Van Patten school house to-night. A good program has been prepared for the occasion. In behalf of Mr. Fisher we extend to all of the young people of the surrounding country an invitation to attend this institute of mirth. The ladies are cordially requested to bring boxes and the gentlemen are likewise requested to bring the ladies, and also a pocketfull of gold standard. Come and have a good time. Strangers will receive special attention.

The peculiar cough which indicates croup is usually well known to mothers of croupy children. No time should be lost in the treatment of It, and for this purpose no medicine has received more universal approval than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

Miss Ida. M. Snyder, Treaaurer of the Brooklyn East End Art Club. •• If women would pay more attention to their health we would have more happy wives, mothers and daughters, and if they would observe results they would find that the doctors’ prescriptions do not perform the many cures they are given credit for. “ In consulting with my druggist he advised McElree’s Wine of Cardui and Thedford’s Black-Draught, and so I took it and have every reason to thank him for a new life opened up to me with restored health, and it only took three months to cure me.” Wine of Cardui is a regulator of the menstrual functions and is a most astonishing tonic for women. It cures scanty, suppressed, too frequent, irregular and painful menstruation, falling of the womb, whites and flooding. It is helpful when approaching womanhood, during pregnancy, after childbirth and in change of life. It frequently brings a dear baby to homes that have been barren for years. All druggists have SI.OO bottles of Wine of Cardui. WINEo'CARDIfi I have private funds to loan on real estate at low rates for any length of time. Funds are always on hands and there is no delay—no examination of land, no sending papers east--absolutely no red tape. Why do you wait on insurance companies for 6 months for your money? I also loan money for short times at current bank rates. Funds always on hand. W. B.
