If Walkerton is to observe the Fourth it would be a good time now to commence making arrangements for the celebration. Nothing is ever lost by getting an early start in such matters. The social at the U. B. parsonage last Saturday evening was quite a success, notwithstanding the rain. About 50 or

Ligonier Leader: The famous pacing mare “Marion Mills’’ passed through here on the “horse train” one night last week. She is called the “Guideless Wonder” because she paces without rider or driver or sulky, seeming to have human instinct enough to start, finish and keep the track the same as when guided by a jockey. Her car is one of the most elegant horse cars on the road, having all modern improvements and is occupied by herself and attendants only. Her fastest time was a mile in 206%, the world’s record made at Grand Rapids last fall.

You may feel better ber cause out of doors more, bi> the trouble is still there. Dons stop taking your Scott’s Emulsion? because the weather happens to be warm. If you have a weak throat, a slight hacking cough, or some trouble with the bronchial tubes, summer is the best time to get rid of it. If you are losing flesh there is all the more need of attention. Weakness about the chest and thinness should never go to- * gether. One greatly increases ! the danger of the other. Heal the throat, cure the cough, and i strengthen the whole system : now. Keep taking Scott's • Emulsion all summer. For tale by ail druggists at joc and
