'J:WHAT V MACHINBEY HAS DONE.' -V It has often been said that, if the dead could come to life again and see the progress which has been made during the past century, more particularly concerning machinery, they would absolutely'go back! in .surprise to. their peaceful shroud.: Yet, ;even we ourselves can look back and think of ■■> ■ the wonderful... changes which have taken place; in our little span of life. ■■';'*'. Some visitors ' wero going through ■ the 'faotory, tfhere Messrs.' A. Murdooh and, Co. prepare their speciality lines, and the remarks which' were, passed ■': as".' they, were /shown the various'machmes used for .mixing and packing were simply that thoy.were astounded that machinery: could do. so much.

The result ; is that he is now .soiling at each of his branches, the famous Challongo Brand Jollies, for which he has the Sole. Agohoy, Remember,: you can get them only at Camp- ' bell's. .
