32% Women’s Readymades. Mr. James Mclsuacs. 25 Elgin St" Otta- wa. Ont. writes :â€"â€""I suffered with salt rheum for upwards of ten years, the skin on my hands cracking and breaking so as to make them useless. After trying all sorts of remedies in min, I became dis- couraged and thought my sufferings would never end. Last spring I used Dr. Chase’s Ointment and in a short time was perfectly cured.” Dr. Chase’s Ointment is of unpar- alleled merit as a. cure for all itching skin disease, all druggists.

The culv rts and graveling along the line leave our roads in good shape._ The contractors have finished the building of the bridge on the town- line between Proton and Artemesia and it reflects credit on the builders and on the commissioners that let and inspected the job.

At the close of the-address of wel- come the Warden in behalf of the Council expressed his pleasure and thanks over the reception, and ap- pointed a committee to draft a reply which is given below. In closing my words of welcome permit me to extend a most hearty welcome and warm and cordial in~ vitation to frequently repeat your visits. Time has passed. The energy and enterprise of the people have caused the forest to disappear. Bright, cheerful, beautiful homes have sprung up and business blocks, that would be a credit to any town are now to be seen, and though we have not progressed as rapidly as some towns, we have advanced steadily and at the present time we feel that we are in the dawn of a glorious ad- vancement in commercial, industrial and educational interests. The County of Grey which you have the honor to represent, andI believe you are Justly worthy of the honor, is the largest County in the Province, and there are many now living who can remember the place where we now are as a primeval forest, the hunting ground and camping place of an Indian tribe. Many can remember the first few huts that were erected to accommo- date the very few that had the tetner- ity to select this as a place of resi- dence. As the executive head of the cor- poration I feel gratified and pleased that you should honor us again by your presence I trust your impres- sions of the town will be most fav- orable and that you will have no reason to think that the diversion from the custom of holding the Coun- ty Council sessions in the County Town is an ill advised act. YOUR WORSHIP AND GENTLEMEN :â€" On behalf of the corporation of the Town of Durham I beg to extend to you a hearty welcome on the occa- sion of your June Session now being held in our town. This, I under. stand, is not the first time that the town of Durham has had the honor of your visit, inasmuch as a previous session was held here thirty-one years ago. ENGINEER for Howie]: To THE WARDEN 2131) COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF GREY, I have the honor to be, Gentlemen Your obedient servant, South Africa and to the good work done by the Red Cross Society to which the Council had given a grant of 8100 at its January session. Mayor Laidlaw’s address of we]- come was then read as follows:â€" GREY 00. COUNCIL. Continued from Page One‘ MARRIED. DIED. I, Wingham, C. . YV'ru’. 'w r County Treasurer’s estimates for 1901.

Fitz- gerald get a free peddler’s license (2) That MacKay Sampson be paid $90 in full for account mentioned. (3) The County Clerk’s account for postage, etc., $16.95 be paid. (4) That reports of E. Grey Agriculture Society and of North and Centre Grey Farmers’ Institutes be paid. That the town of Durham may grow in commercial prosperity. in population and in representative men and develop a bright future is the sincere wish of your transient visit- 01's. This fair town, which you repre- sent, and its vicinity, South Grey, have been prolific in representative men, furnishing as Wardens a Jack. son, an Edge, a Murdoch, a MacRae. a McNicol a Lang, a Mofiat. a Rog. ers, a Binnie and an Allan and 8‘3 additional members of the Council, from the town only, Messrs. Brown Gorsline, Sparling, Jamieson and McKechnie, the last named Mr. Gilbert McKechnie. a most elficient chairman of the Finance Committee and subsequently a representative in the Legislative Assembly. As Stated in your address, the change between the lirst and second meeting of this Council here is very great. It is worthy of note that these meetings thirtyone years apart are connected by a “living link ” in the person of Mr. Neil Mc- Colman, who was a member of the Council at its session here thirty-one years ago and is a member of its present session. Long may Coun- cillor McColman live and participate in municipal work. Evidences of the prosperity of Durham are readily seen in your railway facilities, excellent business blocks, granolithic pavements, mills and factoriesâ€"tokens of a fine future. Letters fro m Judge Creasor re re- szâ€"The Warden and Council of the County of Grey desire to place on record their appreciation of the thoughtfulness of yourself and your Council which prompted your kindly address of welcome presented at the Opening of the present session and to say, in Name your town is fort-u. nate in being called after one ofthe most astute and descerning govern- ors that ever administered the afiairs of this country, whose excellent re- port to the Home Government, now a part of Canadian history, Ilid much to restore harmony a: a troubled period. 19.
