A Splendid Canadian Journal.
The Dominion Illustrated not only main tains
but steadily improves upon the high standard
of literary and artistic excellence which has
especially marked that splendid Canadian
journal since its enlargement at the begin
nlng of this year to 24 pages weekly. The
handsome engravings produced each week are
well selected , and in addition to general views
there are always some relating to curren
matters of general interest. A group of
bright and gifted writers are regular con
tributors to its literary contents , and its pages
reflect the best thoughts of clever men am
wompn. Such a journal deserves the gratify
ing support which it receives at the hands ol
the public. The enterprising publishers , the
Sabiston Litho. & Pub. Co. , Montreal , make it
their constant aim to improve both the matter
and appearance of the journal , and their sue
cess is certainly gratifying and cirditable.
BANKSVILLE BUDGET.
It has rained most every day since the loth
inst. , and the ground is thoroughly soaked.
E. B. Nelson pulled over to bis homestead ,
Monday morning , after helping Uncle John
Rowland finish his corn planting.
C. F. Elliott was working the assessing job ,
last week , estimating the worth of the proper
ty the farmers have left after the drouth of
1890. The prospects for next years' listing of
property look more promising at this writing.
W. H. Benjamin was caught out on the
prairie about half-way home in the storm ,
Saturday afternoon , and had to take his team
from the buggy and hold them by the bridle
until the hail passed by. He said some of the
hail stones were nearly as large as black
walnuts shucks off. OBSKRVER.
A Safe Investment.
Is one which is guaranteed to bring you sat
isfactory results or in case of failure a return
of purchase price. On this safe plan you can
buy from our advertised druggist a bottle ot
Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption.
It is guaranteed to bring relief in every case ,
when used for any affection of throat , lungs or
chest , such as consumption , inflammation of
lungs , bronchitis , asthma , whooping cough ,
croup , etc. It is pleasant and agreeable to
taste , perfectly safe and can always be de
pended upon. Trial bottles free at McMillen's.
Ths crsil treatment of catarrh is very un
satisfactory , ns thousands of despairing pa
tients can testify. A trustworthy medical
writer says : ' 'Proper local treatment is posi
tively necessary to success , but most of the
remedies in general use by physicians afford
but temporary benefit. A cure cannot be ex
pected from snuffs , powders , douches and
washes. " Ely's Cream Balm is a remedy which
combines the important requisites of quick
action , specific curative power with pertect
safety and pleasantness to the patient.
Hi78 faith in your own town. Speak well of
its improvements ; help along all public enter-
terprises ; cheer and encourage the men who
invest in it ; remember that every forward
move helps you individually ; shut your ears
to the croakers and keep eternally at it and
the town will grow rapidlV. Exchange.
