The afreet lights have not been even glowini! for some time, and the house lights have ' been hardly worthy of the name. They ( went compleiely out early on Siturday i night. At any rate it was necessary to ! resort to oil lamps in order that The Advance might handle it's rush of work. ' Something will have to be done. Mr. j Deagle says that he is doing all in bis , power to give us a good service. The ! trouble appears to be that he is carrying i too.many lights for the power at his dispos- '. al during the abnormally low water this • winter. We want a good January thaw i now, and want it baaly. Perhaps it! would be a pertinent i[Uestiou to ini{uiic I if the Police Trustees are eip^cled to pay ^ the Georgian Bay Power Company for . the inky bl.^ckness of our streeis at ni'iht. ', We cannot recuilecc that a reJu.:tioii was , ever made in tho payments for ttrect! lighting. If niide, the tinancial state-, ments fail to show it. Surely the town should not' be ni.i<le to pay for what I hey j do not receive. Noto â€" Since the alxive was put in type we learn that the police â- ' iiuatees have witbdrawb the street liirhta altogether.

F. T. Hill & Co^ theory of business has always been in the ' gains which accrue from purchases on the , largest scale. They already have a large branch store in Orangeville, in charge of Mr A. Walker, and the purchasing of the Tara store is but adding another link to the chain. They look upon Tara as a tine field for their growins; ambitions, and we are sure the people there and in the prosperous townships that surround . the town will rejoice in the settlement in that p!ace of so staunch and progrestive a film as F.

Dr. Shoop first pointed out che error. This is why his prescription â€" Dr. Shoop'S Restorative- is directed entirely to the cause cf these ailments â€" the weak inside or cotitrolling nerves. It isn't so difficult says Dr. Shoop to strengthen a weak stomach, heirt or kidneys, if one goes at it correctly. Each inside organ has its controlling or inside nerve. When these nerves fail, then those organs must surely falter. These vital trutns are leading druggists every- where to dispen.so and recommend Dr. Shoop's Restorative, lest it a few days and seel Impr.ivemcnt will promptly and surely follow.
