The council's seiVAnts had placed a quantity of mainte nance metal on the side of the road, among leng grass and .thistles, oausing a horse to shy, with the" result that the plaintiff was thrown out of the buggy and her leg was \ broken. Stay of judgment for 14 days was grimted. Cases such as these are perplexing public bodies in this district, the Wallace County having recent'y been cast in heavy damages in a eimdar action where timber to repair a culvert was laid alongside the site of the work. It is urged that it wll be very costly if public bodies have to keep material out of sight and bring it on the ground bit by bit. In this case the carter .said he was instructed to put the stones.in the safest place he could find, and selected the spot because horses could sea it from a distance on either side. iQNEY TO LEND PKIVaTEIX tancred street,  .JfBXT Gas Company's'^Offioe lend According to Arrangement from Jgg AND UPWARDS, Upon any Security.

After using " Vitadatio " the Hyda tids and Cysts were expelled from my body, and lam thankful to say I have been restorod to health and strength solely by the use of Webber's Vitadatio. I am willing that you should use this in any way you ohoose, hoping that it m»y b« the means ef leading others to try Webber's Vitadatio. I remain, yours respectfully, MRS HA. RUDD.
