Stratford, S.M., William Marshall pleaded guilty of having had liquor on sale in unlicensed premises. The Crown Prosecutor said the enormity of the illicit trallic was shown by the fact that during the raid eleven gallons of whisky, two kegs containing fifteen gallons of beer, and four dozen bottles of beer were seized. Defendant was fined £ 10, in default one month's imprisonment. John Mat-Donald was fined £4O with costs, and similar tines were imposed on William Allen, Alexander Bain, James Vial, and George Viil. The charge against Vial, teuior, was withdiawn. In the seiond house raided the police seized nine bottles of gin, 9J gallons of whisky, 10 bottles of brandy, 15" bottles of "in, 10 gallons of beer, and 34 bottles of beer. All the defendants pleaded guilty. IS IT RIGHT. For. AN EI'ITOR TO KtOOIMKND P.VTKXT MeI.IFroni Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, X. C. It may be a question whether the editor of a. newspaper has the rgbt to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary medicines which rbwd the market, yet as a preventive of fiiffeiing we feel it a du'y to say a pood \f>rd for Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrlmi Itemed;. We hive known and used this medicine in cur family for twenty years, and have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depending implicitly on anv medicine for a cure but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain's Dairhu'a littnedy were kept on hand and administered at the inception of an attack much suffering would be avoided and in very manv cases the presence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our expetienca during the past twenty years. For sale by D. B. Esther, Chemist.
