Sinas Tree.
A Christmas Tree and Kutertainment took place in the Souris Convent on the evenings of Wednesday and Thur d y last. A large number of persens were present and al seemed ty eujoy theniselves. The pupis of the Convent did their part of the programme admirably, the singing, dialogues and recitatioas being of a high order. ‘Tiiw piay entitled ‘‘ The Golden Wedding” was well acied, the little amateurs going through their various parts with as much vim and precision as trained professionals. Not the least pleasing part of the entertainment was the music render- ed, on both evenings, by the Souris Brass Band. The chief interest, kowever, center- ed in the election contest that was held for the purpose of deciding who was the most popular man iu Souris. Three candidates entered the contest. At the close of the poll, Captain A. R. McDonald, of. the Liverpool House, was declared duly elected, Captain McDonald, on winning the day, received the hearty congratulations of his friends, and he is now looked upon as the most popular man inthe town. The enter- tainment was brought to a close by a sale of cakes and fancy articles, C. C. Carlton, Sr., acting as auctioneer. We learn that $306 was the amount taken in at this very successful Christinas tree.

AMARAG
Alderman R. E. Elbeck, Kingston, Ont. says: “Tamarac Elixir” is the best medicine on earth for Coughs and Colds. In my own case it produced rapid and gratifying results. I caught a severe cold which it seemed impos- sible to break up,.but continually becarae more thoroughly seated. Finally a hacking cough set in which troubled me day and night, causing soreness of the Lungs. Hearing your ‘‘Tamarac” highly recommended, I procured bottle. The first dose eased the cough, and one bottle completely cured me. It is a splen- did preparation, pleasant to the taste, aud should be kept in every house.
