In selecting the music, he has been very care ful to obtain something that will please all. and. at the same time, is using music that is adapted t' a Comparatively small and young band, As usual, the band will be as sisted by local talent, which, in fact, causes the band to be a sec ondary adjunct of the concert.

The Child Sleeps. On last Friday morning, at 2.20, a. m., Gilbert Rigby, youngest son of L. R. Boyd, pass ed to join his mother in the better country. Not quite four months had he spent in a world too hard for the tender frame. But six weeks of them had passed when the mother went up higher. From the beginning the little fellow had fought a j bard fight for his life, and when | the dreaded whooping cough seized him, a few hours ended it. The father was far away, having left home the very day the child was taken worse, but all that medical skill, careful nursing and the tender compassion of friends could effect, was done All in vain. The Good Shepherd and his mother needed "Reeby", and the flowers in his little hands the day we left him in Oakwood are not half so fair as those with which he play 3in the heavenly gardens. A baotised chi d of the Presbyterian church, loving words of hope were spoken by its pastor and warmest sympathy is felt here for the lather, broth ers, sister and the faithful friend who cares for the lonely family. * Court at Newton this Week.

Strike when the iron is hot. and paint when the property needs it. , They paint ships a diren times a year; yes, some of them, every voyage. What for, do you think? To look nice and get business. A livery keeps its carriages painted aal varnished and washed, to look nice and get business. A mail; with a house for sale or to let, "does it up," and Devoe is the paint. There's more in paint ihan to keep out water. Paint for looks and yon needn't think about water. A fresh coat of paint once a year is about as good for his creuit as paying his debts. But the man whose buildings and fences look new, very likely, has no debts. DEVOE F. B. Ingold sells it Mother's day will be observed at the Reformed church next Sunday morning.
