Megantic, Saturday night.y¢He had litted a bucket of cinders from the pit by means of the erane, and when he stooped beneath it to shovel out more cinders the bucket fell, crushing bis ekull and causing instant death.Apparently the crane was not latched, and Turcotte was alone when the accident happened, the other men having left him a few minutes before.When some of the trainmen returned they called to him and receiving no answer, lifted the crane and found the lifeless remains of the unfortunate man, He had been in Megantic only two or three months.A dividend sheet has been prepared

made for the care of roads during the winter under the money-tax, roller- worked system which was found to work satisfactorily last year.Some who opposed the new order of things last year have gone

following rates will be paid this winter: For each man shoveling 15 cents per hour, one man and two horses on roll- or 80 cente per hour, two men and four horses on roller 50 cents per

votes.Vancouver and Midway in British Columbia.Bub-agencies have also been opened at Valcourt, Beloelil, Iberville, Clarenceville, Lacoile, Scots- own, Howick and Stanstead in this province.They are also about to open a branch on Wellington street, in Sherbrooke, in order to accommo- ; date the growing business in that section.Previous reports have foreshadowed the opening at Vancouver, and although the branch has only been opened for a few months a very satisfactory business is being done.The Midway office is at a point where large expenditnre is being made by the construction of two railways and is a central poiut in that section.Deposits have increased during the year nearly $2,000,000 being largely in excess of any previous year, showing tbe increasing growth and prosperity of the country, which is very gratifying.In view of the increasing business THE DIRECTORS\u2019 REPORT.The Directors\u2019 report was read as; follows: | The Directors have much satisfac- ; tion in presenting to the Shareholders | the accompanying balance sheet and profit and loss statement, showing net earnings exceeding 12!, per cent.Considering the low rates \u2018of interest which have prevailed and the neces- | sity of keeping a good cash reserve, they consider the results very satisfactory.Out of the balance of profit as shown, provision has been made for two semi-annual dividends at the rate of 8 per cent.per annum, one paid 2nd July last and the other payable 2nd January next.One hundred thousand dollars has: been carried to Reserve Fund, making that amount up to $1,600,000, being 64 per cent.on the Capital, leaving a balance of $24,566.18 to be carried forward.Branches have been established of the Bank, the Directors have decided to issue the balance of the 81,- { 000,000 capital authorized at the special meeting of Shareholders in February, 11903, viz.: 8500,000, the calls being payable 10 per cent.monthly with the premiom commencing on 2nd day of January next, the issue being at 60 premium.As there appears to be a pretty gen- \u2018 eral desire by investors for more frequent division of profits, your Directors have decided to meet this demand, and in future dividends will be paid quarterly, viz: January, April, July and October.The inspections of the various offices have been made as usual.In conclusion the Directors have much pleasure in testifying to the \u2018zeal and fidelity of the General Manager, Inspectors, Managers and other officers of the Bank.The whole respectfully submitted.WILLIAM FARWELL, President.STATEMENT OF PROFIT

removed, leaving sad and lonely hearts, to ponder over lite\u2019s vicissitudes and strive to bear its burdens as best they may\u2014so slow are we to learn the lesson that \u2018\u2018all things work together for good.\u201d On Saturday, Nov.18th, there was laid to rest after a brief illness one who, though young in years, was old in cares and burdens and who may have gladly laid them down in the hope that a brighter lot might await her, Mrs.Mamie Ham, wife of George Meiggs and mother of five small children.Her remains were followed by sincere mourners who could but regret that they had not labored more earpestly to make her path in life more joyous.On Sunday, Nov.26th, a memorial service was conducted in memory of Miss Eva Putney who passed away on Nov.2nd, at Heather Brae, Alberta, whither her friends had taken her upon the advice of physicians.Alas! the material law that demanded this effort was not annulled by the spiritual law of life, because the law of death and decay was in ascendency.The sympathy of the entire community goes out to thé afflicted parents, the brother to whose home she had 80 lately journeyed and the other brother who remains at his home.She was just in the bloom of young womanhood and tender memories of her useful, happy life will long be cherished by her many friends outside the family circle.An affectionate wife and loving mother as well as a cherished friend and neighbor in the person of Mrs.Thomas Impey, lately entered into rest leaving lonely hearts to battle on without the stimulus of a mother\u2019s prayers to strengthen and sustain.Her illness was of long duration and was borne with Christian fortitude.Mr.Impey and his daughters have the sympathy of all in their great loss.She was buried from the Old Church on the 220d.Much sympathy is expressed for Mr.Japheth LeBaron and family in the death of the well-beloved wife and mother which took place, Nov.27th, after a lingering illness.She bad been a patient sufferer for many 78 monthe\u2014it may be said for many \u2014\u2014 years she had known much pain.The funeral service was held at the Methodist Church.The prayer service at the house was conducted by Rev.A.Stevens assisted by Rev.Murray.The large attendance toid plainer than words of the lc ve and esteem in which she was held and of the vacant place that will not be filled.Some beautiful flowers were contributed; one especially beautiful pillow with \u2018\u2018Mother\u2019\u2019 upon it from Sherbrooke, spoke tenderly of the -love of the daughter and husband who through illness were unable to be present.Mrs.LeBaron\u2019s maiden name was Lucy Wadleigh.She waa the last of her father\u2019s family, her only brother, Mathew Wadleigh, baving passed on a few months previously.Her age was about 82 years.She was a woman of keen perception and broad and liberal spirit.She leaves 2 husband some years her senior who is still bale and active, a son and daughter and four grandchildren beloved.The Rev.Mr.Keough officiated at al} of these services and his sermons were appropriate and comforting and breathed a spirit of sympathy and brotherliness which characterizes the man and makes him a valued friend.A public service is held each Sunday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock in the Christian Science room.A cordial invitation is extended to all.J.H.Haines is in Sawyerville this week.Walter Haines and family are expected home from Alberta the last of the week.- THE CHRISTMAS TREE.An Ayer's Cliff post (?) contributes the fol lowing: Christmas .piers Tue $ ¢ + { FER.\u2018 \u2014 PIPING HOT4= BOVRIL Try it with a dash of Cold Milk : AGAINST HANGING.\u2014 Movement to Abolish Capital Punishment in Green Mountain State.A despatch from Windsor, Vt., says: The execution of Mary Rogers was probably the last legal killing of a woman in America.It was certainly the last in Vermont.The next legisldture must abolish capital punishment.Men who will not vote to wipe out Vermont\u2019s disgrace, iu so far as this may be done by such an act, will not be nominated and elected.This is the sentiment throughout the State.A year ago not a tenth of the voters would have commuted the woman\u2019s sentence.On Thursday eighty per cent.would have voted for commutation if they could.In the days to come, as Vermont comes to realize more and more how it stands in the eyes of the civilised world, the sentiment will grow.The Rev.William H.Hayes, chaplain of the prison, who saw the hanging, said: \u201cIt will be the last execution in the State.\u201d The newspapers from end to end of the State have awakened.They will give the movement publicity.The people of Vermont suffer the pity of the outside world that such a sorry spectacle has been made of their old and honored State.They may be depended upon to settle the matter with Governor Bell and Mr.Fitts, when Bell\u2019s ambition to be Congressman and Fitts to be Governor come to their attempted fruition.GOVERNOR HUNG IN EFFIGY.A Providence, R.I., despatch says: Indignant because of the refusal of Governor Bell of Vermont to give Mary Mabel Rogers another chance to live, citizens of Centerdale, in the town of North Providence, hanged the governor in effigy.An old scarecrow from a farm on the outskirts of the village was obtained, a rope was attached to it, and it was dragged through the road to the first convenient tree and was drawn up after a card had been attached reading: \u201cThis is Governor Bell of Vermont.\u201d Several well-known citizens, including at least one official, were in the crowd which threw stones at the swinging figure.ABBOTT CORNER.Mr.D.M.Wilson has installed a Brantford windmill and a pipe-line equipped with a powerful force pump between his buildings and a never failing spring half a mile away and is confident his stock will not go thirsty with this plant in operation.In a recent letter Mr.John Johnson says he and Mrs.Johnson are in fair health and enjoying the mild

The Local Option method is proving to be an overwhelming success all over the United States.Few people, except those who have given the subject special attention, are aware of the extent of territory in which the peverage sale of liquor bas been pro- pibited by this method.State prohibition is in force in Maine, Kansas, North Dakota and Indian Territory, but nearly every State has a large proportion of its territory free from bar rooms by the application of the Local Option method.WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.In ALABAMA Local Option is in force in a majority of the counties and parte of others as well.ARKANSAS votes on the question every two years.Fully two-thirds of the counties and the large areas of the remaining\u2019 third are now under Local Option.CALIFORNIA has four entirely \u2018\u2018dry\u201d counties, and many minor municipal- jties are under Local Option.The beautiful city of Pasadena has no bar rooms, and four-fifths of Los Angeles County ie *\u2018dry.\u201d CoLORADO has a Local Option law that is effective in many places.Two cities, Canon City (7,000) and Longo- mont (6,000) are without bar rooms.COLUMBIA DISTRICT has cut the licenses down from 1,100 to 645 within the last ten years by the use of Local Option.CONNECTICUT is progressing.Local Option obtaine 92 out of the 168 towns in tbe State.FLORIDA has County Local Option in 27 out of 45 counties.GEORGIA has 110 counties \u201cdry\u201d out of 137, and in some of the remainder dispensaries are operated, greatly reducing the drinking.ILLINOIS has Local Option in force inabout 200 towns.Even in Chicago the movement is gaining ground, and two-thirds of the city has excluded bar rooms.INDIANA is about two-thirds \u201cdry\u201d through the provision of the Nicholson law.Iowa has really State prohibition, but selling is permitted by popular consent under the Mulct law in 23 counties out of 99, and in 1t towns in the remaining 76 counties.KENTUCKY has Local Option by counties and minor sub-divisions.Out of 119 counties 68 are completely \u201cdry.\u201d Thirty have license in one town only, while Local Option prevails in large parts in others.LOUISIANA votes on the bar room question not oftener than once a year.Fully seven-eighths of the territory of the State is \u2018\u2018dry.\u2019\u2019 MARYLAND has 15 \u2018dry\u2019 counties out of 23.MAssACHUSETTS has saloons in about 100 cities and towns, and has 250, including some large manufacturing centres, under Local Option.MINNESOTA bas Local Option in many villages and towns.MississiPPl has 82 counties, 66 of them are \u2018\u2018dry;\u2019\u2019 10 have licenses only in the county seat and only 3 are \u201cwet\u201d and 8 others are dry except along the coast.NEBRASKA has 400 towns without bar rooms and about 600 with them.NEw HAMPSHIRE is like Iowa, really under prohibition, but with the sale of liguor permitted in some places.A very large part is still \u201cdry,\u201d however.NEW YORK has 309 dry towns in the State.NORTH CAROLINA has 26 towns, OxHro has Local Option in about 1,000 out of 1,371 townships; in 459 out of 768 towns and municipalities.OREGON has 8 counties entirely \u201cdry,\u201d and about 70 precincts in others without licenses.RHODE ISLAND has 15 \u201cdry\u201d towns out of 38.TENNESSEE allows the sale of liquor in only 12 couuties out of 96, and in only 14 places in the State.VERMONT is strongly temperance.Out of 246 towns in the State only 34 may issue licenses, and in only 30 of these are there any bar rooms.VIRGINIA has 70 counties out of 99 under Local Option, and portions of the \u201cwet\u201d counties are without saloons, WEST VIRGINIA has Local Option in force in about two-thirds of the State.WISCONSIN has 603 towns, villages, and cities without licenses, and 829 in which bar rooms are permitted.WHAT 18 BEING DONE.The fight for the extension of Local Option is being pushed vigorously in Dearly every part of the Union.In Kentucky there have been nineteen fights in six months and every one has gone for Local Option except one, and that had only ome majority for saloons, Jobnson County went 1,950 against and 140 for saloons.Bath County went 1,450 against and 250 for saloons.Mayfield, a town of 4,500, went in 008 precinct, 340 against saloons and % for, and in the other precinct 178 Binet the saloons and 4 for.This Versiter tapleg ne saloons by vote of - \u201cdry\u201d town board for twenty-nine years.Mayfield is the best retail town in the State.À worker in Toledo, Ohio, writing to The American Issue, says: We have again met the enemy, and they are ours.Leipsic voted on Oct.23rd\u2014304 dry, 165 wet; majority, 139.Last year the majority was very small.Belmore voted the same day, 6Q dry, 40 wet; majority 20.Put one saloon out of business.This makes a series of nineteen dry victories in the Toledo district since the first of Apri), as against three saloon victories.The sentiment is constantly increasing against the saloon system.\u201d TEMPERANCE IN DUNKIRK.The vigorous fight of the temperance forces in Dunkirk, O., for a dry town has ended in a victory, the town voting dry, Oct.24th, by a majority ot 15.In the Beal law election two years ago, Dunkirk went wet by nearly three to one.The Local Option election at Berea resulted in an overwhelming victory for the drys, and the next evening 150 students from Baldwin University dressed in gowns, paraded up the streets in celebration of the event.These cases are but illustrations of the way the Local Option idea is taking hold everywhere.During the first three months of this year forty-one Ohio villages voted out the saloon.HOW IT WORKS.To show how Local Option works out in practical experience, we give the following clippings from various sources: IN OREGON.August - Mickelson, Ashland, Oregon, says the town is prospering more than ever before in its history, since the saloons were gotten out.IN TEXAS.The leading business men of Stephenville, Texas, have signed a statement to the effect that under prohibition, conditions in the town have greatly improved.They say business is better and more satisfactory.IN VIRGINIA.The judges, mayor and county attorney of Marion, Va., have all signed a statement to the good effect of no- pores license in Marion.They say: \u201cThe effect has been good from the beginning upon the morals and good order of the town and county.We would not be willing to have the open saloon again.\u201d John N.Hull, mayor of Marion, Va., says: \u201cOur town is building and improving, and one of its chief attractions is the fact that it is a Local Option town.\u201d IN CAMBRIDGE, MASS.In Cambridge, Mass, Henry White, president of the University Press, \u2018\u2018a working community of several hundred people,\u2019 says: \u2018We believe ourselves to be unanimous in our appreciation of the benefits of no-license in Cambridge, and in a desire to see a continuance of the policy.\u201d Edward Kendall & Sons of the Charles River Iron Works, says: \u201cThe continuance of the no-license policy has proved a great benefit to this section of the city.The workingmen are regular in their attendance, and no time is lost on account of drunkenness.They do more and better work now, and the wages which would be spent for drink under the old conditions, now go 60 their fami- ies.\u201d George F.Blake Manufacturing Co.say: ve can say frankly that, if there should be a change of license bere, we should feel like moving out of the city.\u201d IN NORTH DAKOTA.East Grand Forks, Minn., bas 42saloons, while Grand Forks, N.D., has none.Kast Grand Forks has one- third mile of paving, one mile of sewer and an $8,000 electric plant.Grand Forks has 14 miles of paving, electric light plant, sewer system, water works, and a 845,000 filter.Yet taxation is 20 per cent.Jower in Grand Forks than in East Grand Forks.Mayor Johnson of Fargo, N.D, says: \u2018\u2018Fargo has prospered without a .saloon far better than it did with it.Instead of being depopulated it has more than doubled since the saloons left us.Rents have not gone down, but have gone up, where there is any difference.There is not to-day in Fargo, nor has there been, à vacant house fit for & mouse to live in, or a vacant store since the saloons left.\u201d Mr.N.A.Davis, cashier of the Bank of Milton, at Milton, Oregon, writes: \u201cMilton has not had a saloon for eighteen or twenty years, and during that time the population has quadrupled.Business is good in all lines of trade, good public schools, a college and four churclfes are supported.\u201d Since the saloons were abolished in Lebanon, Tenn., the merchants of the place claim that trade has increased from 25 to 47'; per cent., and real estate has increased in value 20 per cent., while the mayor reports that only one-third as many cases are tried before him as before closing.Local Option has been tested and tried and has \u201cmade good\u201d in a majority of the States of the Union.One feature, of the situation Hat is worthy of particular note ls thas while Local Option gains are continually being made, seldom does a \u201cdry\u201d district ever go back into the \u201cwet\u201d column, The experience with Loca] Option in Ontario and Manitoba has been very satisfactory.The law is so effective and beneficial that hardiy ever has it been repealed.AYER'S CLIFF.Read E.R.Webster\u2019s ad.on the first page of this paper.Mr.Giles Moore of Magog was a guest at Frank Worthen\u2019s on Monday and Tuesday.The feature here of the Christmas festivities will be a cantata entitled \u201cChristmas with the Pixies,\u201d given by the scholars of the Sunday School and the public schools on Friday evening, Dec.22nd, in connection with the Christmas tree.The people are looking forward to a good time and will cheerfully pay their 25 cents especially as the proceeds are to be devoted to improving the equipment of the schools.Rev: G.and Mrs.Chapman returued from a pleasant visit with friends at Manchester, N.H., Monday evening.Rev.C.8, Pedley 1s falling in with the custom of observing Advent, so far as to preach a course of aérmons on Bunday evenings.He has already spoken of the Providential work of the Hebrews and the Greeks in preparing the world for Christianity.Next Sunday evening will be given to the work of Rome.Mrs.O.Tyler of this village had a paralytic shock last week and is very low.Mr.Irving McKay is going to Toronto to attend the military school.Mises M.Dean is visiting Mrs.A.E.Fish.Mr.Eli Bangs spent Sunday here with his family.Miss Catherine Rexford has gone to a eanitarium at Knowlton to be treated for rheumatism.Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the seased portion of the ear.There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.fness is ca by an in- condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube, When this tube is inflamed ou have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear: ing, and when it ie entirely closed.Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyun forever; nine cases out ol ten are caused by Ceisrrh, which is pothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.Send for circulars free, F.J.CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.Sold by all Druggists.Price 75c.Take Halls Family Pills for constipation.THE ART OF FORGETTING.(Walter Williams in Columbia Herald) Blessed is the man who oan forget as well as remember.Forgiveness is only forgiveness when it forgets.It the hatchet is buried the handle should not stick out.The meanest of men are those who hoard up vengeance, who cherish malice.With some there is an outburst of indignation and that is the end.With others there is a slow, consuming wrath that eats out their hearts.They have only memory of wrongs done them or fancied.They cannot forget.Many persons with paler skins than the red man of the forest imitate him in this regard.They miss the sweetness because they cherish the bitterness.They need «ducation in letting go in place of | holding on to things mean and malicious.There is progress material and intellectual because of forgetting.There is happiness and joy because of the loss of memory.There is also spiritual advancement for the same reason.No spiritual nature can go forward that is continually held down by precedent and prejudice.Memory becomes to such not wings, but weights.It clogs and hinders.The soul would soar, but the past pulls it down to earth.A great spirit can lay aside these hindrances, can use only such of the past as will help, and thus press forward.But the average in the world are vy their very memories \u201ccribb\u2019d, coffined and confined.\u201d A Bt.Petersburg despatch says: \u2018It is learned on high authority that the government hae finally decided against universal suffrage and practically in favor of the old project of 21 workmen representatives and the extension of the ballot to the small ratepayers, merchants and the educated classes.However, the law must still pass the council of the empire and receive imperial approval.If the decision is upheld it is apt to end all questions of the support of the Zemstov- ists.EASTERN TOWNSHIPS BANK.DIVIDEND NO.92.Notice fe hereby given that a Dividend of Four per cent.for the current half year been declared upon the paid-up Capital Btock of this Bank and that the same will be payable at the Head Office and Branches on and after Tuesday, 2nd day of January next.The Transfer Books will be closed from the Isth to the tüth of December, both days inclusive.By order of the Board, JAMES MACKINNON, General Manager.Sherbrooke, 5th Dec., 1906 Fi routy, snowy tected by stand any wear.All & I % CITI AS ).The Hark \\_/ of Dually or sloppy weather means cold, wet feet, chilblains and misery, unless Lumberman\u2019s and Boots.Weather and waterproof, comfortable, and made to styles.\u201cThe mark of quality\u201d on the genuine MOUR@CLAD: \u2014 o\u2014 your feet are pro- ee \u2014\u2014 MR.C.A.KENNEDY, Coaticook.have my wife explain.WE have claimed the ST.LAWRENCE RANGE to be the Best F\u2014 All-round Range on the Canadian Market, and our customers think our claims are well bassed.Maplewood, Aug.30, 19085.Dear Sir:\u2014Thinking that perhaps a word from me might help some suffering farmer's wife, | take pleasure in recommending your range, St.Lawrence, as being the best all-round farmer\u2019s stove that | have ever seen.perfect cooker in all departments.| also think it will be a good house warmer in winter.one wanting further particulars can come to Maplewood, and it Is very roomy and a Any- Yours truly, F.H.MORRILL.NICKEL-STEEL RANGE WORKS, Coaticook, Que.AT SONCHONOHONCRONORONONCHORONONONONONONONONONONONORONONONORONORORONORONORORGD oneness var HO!
