The Chief of Police and his assisâ€" tant (in fact the whole police force) raided the old Palace saloon where gambling was supposed to be carrmed on.

The Advance had changed its publication day from Friday to Wednesday. Until last year it ‘conâ€" tinued to be published on Wednesday. Now it is issued on Thursday.

Special reference is made to the fact that the game was the first to be played according to the six man a Bide rule in the North Country. The Advance report says: ‘‘It did not by any means please the fans in general, but we think that when the supporters becomeâ€"better acquainted with this style and methâ€" od, it will eventually become more popular than it is at present.‘‘ Which shows that The Advance was somewhat of a prophet. The attendâ€" ance at the match was about 500. N. Theorp was »referee. The goal umpires were Dr. Miller and (Geo. Preston. Timekeepers and penaltyâ€" keepersâ€"Ross, Evans, Auer and Wilâ€" son.

It thoge days Timmins was not as famous as in 1926.

Newlands There is more or less of a tempest in Haileybury because some of the firemen took out the fire truck to get in the procession celebrating the election of the new mayor and council of the town. There are two things to be said about the matter. One is that the firemen in question were foolâ€" ish to use town equipment to show personal preferences. The other is that the objectors are also foolish to take a thoughtless action with too much seriousness.

I suffered constantly from conâ€" stipation and headaches. I lost all faith in medicine, as any relief I got from them was only temporary. A friend of mine who had experienced similar troubles to my own recommended me to try Dr. Watson‘s Tonic, as it had cured him of his trouâ€" bles. | I commenced taking it forthwith and am pleased to bear tesâ€" timony to its wonderful efficiency. I am clear of headaches, my boweis move regular, my appetite is good, and I owe it as a duty to myself and my fellowâ€"sufferers to recommend its use. Very respectfully yours, (signed), JOHN T.
