THE PELORUS GUARDIAN. AND MINERS' ADVOCATE. TUESDAY, AUGUST 13TH., 1895.

Obituary.— We regret to hear of the death of Mr C. D. Fulton (father of Messrs Fulton Brothers, of Cullensville), which took place at Springlands on Thursday evening last, the cause of death being inflammation of the lungs. Deceased had been a resident of the Wairau for over 40 years, and was very highly respected. Accident. —It is with regret we have to report that Mr John H. Bond, of Homewood, met with a serious accident last week whilst performing his usual duties on his station. We are, however, pleased to hear that Dr. Hoadley is satisfied he will soon have his patient about again. Shipping.—The Waitapu left for Wellington on Friday morning, taking, besides other cargo, 7,000 ft. of timber. A Query.—A correspondent asks “ Can you inform me what is a tin-pot parson? ” We are unable to answer the question, and, as this has been rather a hard winter and funds are rather low, we cannot see our way to spent six-and-eightpence in obtaining a legal opinion, perhaps some of our subscribers will oblige. Half-way House.—Those whose business necessitates their travelling to Nelson will no doubt be pleased to know that Mrs E, A. L. Mackay has entered into possession of the Half-way House, Wangamoa. The lady made many friends when in possession of the Suburban North Hotel, and will no doubt make many more during her present tenure. Licensing Committee. —The quarterly meeting of the Waimea-Sounds Licensing Committee is announced to be held at the Court-house, Havelock, on Wednesday, Sept. 4th. A Des Moines woman who has been troubled with frequent colds, concluded to try an old remedy in a new way, and accordingly took a tablsspoonful (four times the usual dose) of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy just before going to bed. The next morning she found that her cold had almost entirely disappeared. During the day she took a few doses of ihe remedy (one leaspoonful at a time) and at night again took a tablespoonini before going to bed, and on the following morning awpHc free of ad symptoms of the cold. Since then she has, on several occasions, used this remedy in like manner, with the same good results, and is much elated over the discovery of so quick a way of curin? a cold, For sale by W. Price. A rise of ten to fifteen per cent, in the price of our wool means for New Zealand, if it keeps up for a year or two, an extra dividend of between' ahd /600,000 a year The Kutnara Tiniest, says the completion of the Midland Railway will bankrupt half of the business men on the Coast, owing to Canterbury competition.

It is a place of some 30,000 inhabitants, and one of the cities entitled to the affix " fu," indicating the capital of a district of the first class. The Imperial control of these outlying frontier territories has always been feeble and intermittent, but a few more such outrages will cause the Great Powers to know ■ the reason why," and we m iy rest ass 1 red that in the present instance no temporizing half measures, or mere promises of amendment on the part of the authorities at Pekin will satisfy Lord Salisbury. Mrs. Emily Thorne, who resides at Toledo, Washington, says she has never been able to procure any medicine for rheumatism that relieves the pain so quickly and effectually as Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, and that she has also used it for lame back with great success. For sale by W. Price. Those who never read the advertisements in their newspapers miss more than they presume. Jonathan Kenison, of Bolan, Worth Co., lowa, who had been troubled with rheumatism in his back, arms and shoulders, read an item in his paper about how a prominent German citizen of Ft, Madison had been cured He procured the same medicine, and to use his own words "It cured me right up." He also says_a neighbour and his wife were both sick in bed with rheumatism. Their boy was over to my house and said they were so bad that he had to do the cooking. I told him of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and how it had cured them up in a week. For sale by W. Price. Heads of families, storekeepers settle) s careful house-wives (young and old), rich and poor alike, will save heaps of money by reserving tnsir purchases for the " Great Partnership Sale,” which is now on at Te Aro House, Wellington.

A Christchurch gentleman has placed five tons of coal at the disposal of the mayor of that city, for widows and women deserted by ttieir husbands. The announcement made in another part of this issue, that a sale of greater magnitude than ever attempted by Te Aro House is now being held should arrest the attention of everyone in this part of the. Colony. O. W. O. Hardman, Sheriff of Tyler Co., W* Va., appreciates a good thing and does not hesitate to say so. He was almost prostrated with a cold when he procured a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He says■" It gave me prompt relief. I find it to be an invaluable remedy for coughs and colds."
