The Town council has ordered a

obtaining the consent of the electors
to increase the indebtedness of the

money is to be used for the construc
tion and extension of certain sewers,
for opening and maintaining streets
and for damages therefor, for water
supply for the year, for police and
fire protection, for electric lights,
and for salaries. In other words it
is for the current expeuses of the
Town government for the year end
ing April 1, 1898.
There is a large floating debt,
and as the indebtedness of the town
is now up to its constitutional limit,
no bonds can be issued to pay this,
on Sunday evening last with a sermon

they were fifty years ago, when
we have cause to use them.
But we have less and less cause
to praise ourselves, since other

more than willing for you to see
us through other eyes. Thii
it how we look to S. P. Boyce,
wholesale aud retail druggist,
Duluth, Miun, who after ft
quarter of a century of obser
vation writes:
"I hare told Ayer'e Sarsapa
rilla for more than as year,
both at wholesale and retail,
and have never heard anything
but word of praise from my
customers; not a single com
plaint ha ever reached me. I
believe Ayer's Sarsaparilla to
be the best blood purifier, that
ha been introduced to the gen
eral public." Thi, from a
man who ha sold thousand of
dozens of Ayer' Sarsaparilla,
is strong testimony. But it
only echoes popular aentiment
the world over, which ha,
Nothing but words of praise
