Leonard Is the youngest son of Noel Faulkner and so some of us beeln to realize that we are geiting old when it only seems a short time since Noel was young himself and now to think his youngest Is married.

How time does fly. What a howl Is coming from the farmers now since they have removed the hitching posts from Main St. at Belle Plalne. One neighborhood says they are going to take turn about and go to Wellington to do their trading, while others are doing their principal It is impossible to be well, simply impossible, if the bowels are constipated. You must pay attention to the laws of nature, or suffer the consequences.

Undigested material, waste products, poisonous substances, must be removed from the body at least once each day, or there will be trouble. A sluggish liver is responsible for an immense amount of suffering and serious disease. Ask your doctor about Ayer's Pills. He knows why they act directly on the liver. Trust him.

Mr. lien Hat-lleld's new house, that he is making out of the store building which he moved on the lots recinllv bought of Dr. is goint: to be one if the most imposing residences in the city and looms up to good advantage in that part of the city where large houses are not the rule. It will make some one a magnificent home.

The mill is being thoroughly over hauled and will soon be in extra-ordi nary condition. New spouting was in, dust cleaners changed, flour bins made dust proof, engine room enclosed and various other improve ments made. Some new sidewalks have been ordered in and will bo laid soon as the weather permits (at least we hope so.

busy place these days It is just southwest of the city limits where l)i liartlett fixing up an amusement park. he slough has been filled up and a canal is being dug just south of the road to carry the water and also make a boating place. This is a big help to that road winch has always been more or less a source of trouble and the township should take advan tage of the assistance the Dr. offers to make the road better. Of course it will cost something but the lownshi).

He has set out smruo lortst irees but more will be set out at a more seasonable time. This park will be of great benefit to the town and no better man for the place could be behind it than Dr.

Bartlett. Electric Lights. All indications at this time are in favor of iiope having an electric lighting system in the near future, owned and operated by the city. A petition has been in circulation aud nearly every citizen of ihe town has signed it. All seem lo be in the same notion, and that is that we should have electric lights aud the city should own the plant.

There is no question but that elec-iric lights are the finest lights in use anywhere, that they are much more eo lvenient and much safer as a fire risk. Children can press (or turn on) the button without clanger of an ex plosion, or dropping a burning mulch, which may set tfie house on fire. We can never he much of a city til we have lights so one will not have to carry a lantern every time he is out in the evening. Of course these things all cost a little something, but the person who wants to be so saving he cannot enjoy up-to-date living, should build him a dug-out and go back to the old tallow dip, and he can save considerable. Let everybody help to boost the electric lights proposition and help to make Hope a line place in which to live.

Hope Dispatch. What is good for Hope applies to Belle Plaine. Let's have the lights. Summons by Publication. Hefore C.
