THE LONDONDERRY MINE

Perth, September 15. It is difficult to get at the truth of the reported sale of the Londonderry mine, but it is believed that Earl Fin gall, acting on behalf of a syndicate, has purchased it for about a quarter of a million with a sixth interest reserved.

There will bo ft part holiday for the banks on Thursday, September 20. The shareholders of the re-constructed Farmers' Co-operative Association met at Tiraaru to-day. The directors sub mitted a balance-sheet for ten months, showing a credit balance to profit and loss account for the period of £1050, ana stated that, considering the bad season and depression of trade, the result Is more satisfactory than might have been looked for. They propose to dec are a dividend of 6 per cent on the capital paid up (£ls 900) in the new company and carry the balance forward. The meeting was satisfactory. Of 6195 old shares all but 800 are transferred to the new com pany, and many of the 800 belong to \ absentees. The retiring directors were re-elected*. In moving the adoption of the report, the Chairman, enumerating some causes for the agricultural depres sion, mentioned the high customs tariff as injuriously affecting farmers, while none of the protective duties assist them at all.

Holloway's Pills.—Teaching of Experi ence.—The united testimony of thousands, extending over forty years, must strongly recommend theße pills as the best punfaers, the mildest aperients, and the surest re storatives. They never prove delusive, or give merely temporary relief but attack all ailments of the stomach, lungs, heart and bowels in the only safe and legitimate way, by depurating the blood, and so eradictmg those impurities which ate the source and constituents of almost every disease. Iheir medicinal efficacy is wonderful in renovating enfeebled constitutions. Their action em braces all that is desirable in a household medicine. They expel every noxious and effete matter and that the strength is nutured and the energies stimulated.
