BAGGING AND TIES
Eugene Grace Writes From Canada.
Editors Herald and Advertiser:
It has been the writer’s pleasant
privilege during the past three weeks
to make a business trip through Cana
da. 1 have visited Quebec, Montreal,
Ottawa and Toronto. It would be im
possible in a short sketch like this to
enumerate in detail the many points of
historical interest throughout Canada,
but there are a few objects of more
than ordinary importance that 1 should
like to speak of:
Quebec is quite a quaint old French
city of some 80,000 souls. It is located
partly on a high bluff overlooking the
St. Lawrence river. It was this city
that conferred undying fame upon
Frontenac, Wolfe, Montcalm and Mont
gomery. I saw the spots upon which
Wolfe and Montcalm were supposed to
have been killed. While a majority of
the natives speak English fluently,
French is the prevaling language.
Montreal is the queen of Canadian
cities. I had the pleasure of going
down the St. Lawrence river by boat
from Quebec to Montreal. Quite a bit
of sensation usually attaches to this
trip. Soon after passing under the
Canadian Pacific railroad bridge,
(which, by the way, is a magnificent
iron structure, built on the cantilever
principle, and 1J miles long), the an
nouncement is made that the steamer
so, while it lasts, we will continue to sell
Before you buy your Bagging and Ties we want
to make you some prices, as we had the foresight to
buy before the advance. We also have the best duck
cotton Pick Sacks at 2Sc. each.
We have just received a car-load of Shorts,- Bran
and Bran and Shorts mixed, on which we can make
you some very close prices. We also carry the best
feed Cotton Seed Meal for your cow. We have, too
a quantity of the best Georgia Rye.
“Merry Widow” Tobacco is the finest on earth
for the price. Just received 1,000 lbs., and must sell
it at once
at 10c. plug, or a 10-lb. box for $3.25.
Don't forget that we sell the famous “Stronger
Than the Law” Shoes—the only water-proof shoe on
the market. Every pair guaranteed, and we are still
selling them at the old price.
You can getdhe genuine Jeans Pants from us—
the kind your mother used to make—(“Gold Medal”
label.)
Come to see us and let us figure with you on
anything you may need.

ery passenger with awe, and with
bated breath they rush for the how
deck to witness the passing of the
most exciting, most celebrated and
most difficult of all rapids to navigate.
They are not kept long in suspense.
The swift current, together with the
engine, soon carry the boat beyond
danger, through the narrow passage
between the shelving rocks, covered by
the mighty torrent of water pouring
over their partly hidden sides, and as
sisting in keeping the palatial steamer
in the center and out of danger. A
moment more and we are tranquilly
passing under the great Victoria bridge
and rounding up at the historic city of
Montreal. Many a page of wild Cana
dian history has had its origin in and
around this city. Montreal is a popular
rendezvous for the sportsman, where
the fisherman can arrange his tackle
for a campaign among the trout and
salmon in the lakes and lower St. Law
rence, and where the hunter can get
his rifle and hunting accoutrements to
gether to wage war upon the giant
moose of Kippewa. Montreal has had
a steady and substantial growth. True,
the city owes its prosperity in large
measure to the natural position it oc
cupies at the head of St. Lawrence
navigation, hut the strides she lias
made—particularly since the building
of the great Canadian Pacific railway,
the steel artery that traverses an en
tire continent—is most marvelous, and
to-day the city contains a population of
nearly 500,000 souls. Among the more
modern structures may be included the
Royal Victoria hospital, which cost $2,-
000,00O: the Bank of Montreal, the
strongest financial institution on the
continent of America, with a capital
and reserve of $18,000,000; St. James
Cathedral, designed to surpass all oth
er sacred edifices in America, and an
exact model of the famous St. Peter’s
of Rome, over $2,500,000; Notre Dame
de Lourdes; McGill University; St.
James Methodist church, the largest
and most elegant Pr,t.;stant church in
the Dominion, coating over $500,000,
and having a seating capacity of near
ly 3,000 ; the Grey Nunnery ; Church of
the Gesu; Royal Victoria College for
Women; Grand Trunk Railway offices;
Windsor Hotel annex, capable of ac
commodating over 1,000 guests; and
many other up-to-date buildings. In
commemoration of the deeds of her
martial heroes the city is filled with
most expensive statuary. Montreal is
quite a manufacturing city also, having
numerous industrial plants and making
many kinds of goods. Owing to the
existing tariff wall between the States
and Canada the Dominion has captured
a large number of branches of the
States’ most representative manufac
turing firms, who find it cheaper to
erect plants here than pay about 30 per
cent. duty.
Ottawa is the Washington of the Do
minion of Canada, having about. 80,000
people, and being the capital, contains
the Houses of Parliament. Words are
inadequate to describe the beauty and
architectural elegance displayed there.
The Parliament section contains most
imposing buildings, surrounded by
magnificently kept lawns, beautiful
botanical gardens, macadamized drive
ways, fountains, etc. The Canadian
mint is also located in Ottawa.
Toronto is more like an American
city than any of the Canadian cities
Has modern sky-scrapers, hotels, and
all modern conveniences of an up-to-
date city;— in fact, it has more modern
improvements than some of our Amer
ican cities;. Toronto is located on the
edge of Lake Ontario; has. over 200,000
inhabitants, and, to be brief, can be
classed with such cities as Indianapolis.
Detroit. Buffalo, Baltimore, and other
jcities of similar size in the States, in
regard to its civic interests. But, af-
j ter ail, there is really only one elysian
| spot—only one place after my own
(heart and that is that dear little
I shovelful of dirt down in dear old
j Georgia, known on the map as Newnan.

Absentminded.
ColumbuR Dispatch.
She was an exceedingly dainty little
woman, who was taking a very great
interest in the welfare of the convicts
when she was being shown through the
penitentiary the other day. Guard
O’Brien was along when she happened
to speak to one of the prisoners.
“I am so sorry for you,” she re
marked in a tender tone of voice. “Of
course, you will he very thankful when
the time comes for you to leave this
dreadful place.”
“No,” retorted the man. ‘‘I’d a
sight rather stop here where I am.”
The little woman almost collapsed.
“Isn’t it strange?” she asked, turn
ing to the guard. “I had no idea the
prisoners were so contented. What
was the poor fellow’s offense?”
The guard concealed a covert grin.
“lie was just a little absentminded,
that was all,” followed tho grin.
“Absentminded!” exclaimed his as
tonished interrogator.
“Yes, madam,” politely replied
O’Brien. “IIo persisted in forgetting
he was married, and now when his
time is up he has two wives awaiting
him on tho outside.”
The woman could not deny that tho
convict had sufficient reasons to he
contented with his present lot.

of Foley’s Honey and Tar absolutely
cured my boy of a severe cough, and a
neighbor’s boy who was so ill with a cold

by taking Foley’s Honey and Tar.”

An aching back is instantly
relieved by an application of
Sloan’s Liniment.
This liniment takes the place
of massage and is better than
sticky plasters. It penetrates
— without nibbing — through
the skin and muscular tissue
right to the bone, quickens the
blood, relieves congestion, and
gives permanent as well as
temporary relief.
Here’s the Proof.
