Mr A. Leb Smith, in replying, thanked the chairman and those present for the honour they had conferred upon him, and the pleasure they had afforded him in seeing bo many of his friends together. Ho referred in general term? to the objectß of the conference which he was about to attend, and rapidly reviewed his 13 years' connection with the district and its industries.

Mr R. H. Leary, in proposing the toast ot "Colonial Industries," expressed regret that a press representative had not been invited to give thorn a record of the excellent speech delivered by Mr Lee Smith, who, he felt sure, would worthily uphold the honour of the colony as their delegate.

Milleii, Mesßrs Samson and Duncan responding. A number of songs and recitations assisted in making the gathering a rcost enjoyable one.

Advice to Mothers I—Are you broken in your rest by a sick child suffering with the pain of

cutting teeth ? Go at once to a chemist and get a bottle of Mrs Winslow's Soothing Sykup. It will relieve the poor sufferer immediately. It is perfectly harmless, and pleasant to the taste; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child

from pain, and the little cherub awakes "as bright as a button." It soothes the child, it softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates tho bowels, and is the best known remedy for dysentery and diarrheca, whether arising from teething or other causes. Mrs Winslow's Soothing Syrup is sold by Medicine Dealers everywhere at Is lid per bottle.—f Advt.) Important to Paheots.—Should a parent have nothing to bestow on a child but a narrow education, still ho will bless you if you form his body to health and strength and activity, whether he earns his simple meal by labour tit the plough, anvil, or axe. On the contrary, if you neglect his health and strength, and leave him a debilitated wretch, he would curse you though a millionaire. E.vo's Fruit Salt is an Indispensable Requisite in the preservation of Children's Health. CAUTION. —Legal rights are protected in every civilised country. Read the following :—" In the Supreme Court of Sydney (N.S W.) an appeal from a decree of Sir W. Manning perpetually restrain, ing the defendant (Hogg) from selling a fraudulent imitation of Eno's fruit Salt, and giving heavy damages to the plaintiff, baa, after a most exhaustive trial of two days' duration, been unanimously dismissed with costs."—Sydney Mornin Herald, November 2(i.—[Advt.l
