With the exception of a short distance, the road is over a level marsh, one that will be easily kept in repair, Yes, we as a people are opposed to the proposed route of the river-straight-ening plan, because it doesn’t benefit any one only those who have over-flow land that they wish redeemed. As we have enough fall to the river for a firstclass drainage system, we do not see any naed of being taxed, just for the purpose of rescuing some over-landed person or company from the hands of poverty. Judging by the expressed sentiment here, the farmers to a unit are opposed to the plan originated by landed speculators. OBITUARY. Mrs. Sarah E. Micheals was born in Ohio?

The Dunnville correspondent don’t seem to be satisfied with the gentle rebukes we have been giving him from time to time through the columns of The Democrat. He wants to settle it in, a joint debate, leaving the people to be the judges and letting us choose the subject, the time and the place. Hanged if we don’t do it, though we are too busy just now to fool with such small fish as Mr. Dunnville. But there is one thing you have got to tell us before we agree to meet you, that is in whose translation of the Bible do you find the prophecy that Mart Graver will be trustee of Gillam township? The man who could see him take his seat as trustee, could easy swallow an old rubber boot without greasing.

Stars, after boasting of their ability as ball players and offering to staks a consideration on the same and expressing their great desire to play with the Walker brethern, the latter came forward and offered to stake a consideration of twenty-five dollars, when the D. V. Stars held their breath and drew back a few feet to consider the matter among themselves. After some time they came forward with the proposition that they would play without staking any amount, but merely to see which side would be victorious, as it was impossible for them to raise the required amount. The Walker nine finally consented to their proposition, and the time and place for the game was appointed, viz: Wheatfield, iSept. 18, 1:00 p. m. The Walker boys were on the ball ground at the appointed time and waited patiently for the appearance of the D. V. Stars, but as it was rather a cloudy day the Stars could not be seen. Perhaps their absense was due to the fact that the color of their uniforms (which were red and blue) were fast colors, and should it have happened to rain, the colors would, no doubt, have run faster than the boys. The next time the D. V. Stars boast of their ability as ball players let it be among themselves, in whispering tones.

Hipplegate, Kwpt. of Public Works, 61 West 6th St., Lexington, Ky., writes: » “I find that Peruna Is an excellent medicine especially for catarrhal affections and all diseases leading to consumption, bronchial troubles or stomach troubles. It also acts as a preventative and keeps the system in a healthy condition so that it easily throws off dieease. It is an excellent tonic and a great appetizer and as a large number of those who have been using it speak, very highly of its curative powers, I am satisfied that my opinion of it is correct, and that it is deserving of high praise.” -—J. H. Hipplegate. Peruna is the remedy for catarrh. Almost everybody knows that by hearsay and thousands know it by experience. Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly becoming a national curse. An undoubted remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Peruna cures catarrh in all phases and stages. There is no remedy that can be substituted. If you do not del ive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
