A large number of candidates will receive their initiatory degree in the Independent Order of Foresters on Fri- day evg. Den, 27th. Thfs order is mak- ing rapid strides in point of member ship. Mav Gibson, the young girl. from Brussels who has been twice before Judge Doyle on committals by local J. P.'s, was on Monday sentenced to five years in Kingeton Penitentiary, her age preventing her being sent to the Mercer Reformatory, The Goderich Star says:—"County Clerk Lane has received from Wm. H. Saunders, secretary of the Huron club in, Chicago, whose formation was re- eent]y noted in these columns, a re- quest for an imprint of the county rt:rest, as the club wish to incorporate it in their own seal now being prepar- ed. The old Huron boys have still kindly feeling towards the home of their childhood, and their request was rcuiekly complied with." F. J. Carr, well known to many of the residents of Exeter, writing from Duluth, Minn., says :-1 enjoy reading the ADVOCATE and would miss it very ranch. I sin pleased to see through its columns that your town is so prosper ous, and sincerely hope it will continue to improve. I will always hold a soft spot in myheart for the little town, as have spent many happy days there, and though 1 have travelled a great deal and seen a good many places I Errdvtlr Caine across any prettier than •oftlr.

CARRLDW As the day for re•opening the James St. church approaches it must afford satisfaction to those interested to know that the building will be fully ready for the occasion. Before this issue reaches our subscribers the seate will' ap, oglt d thlle lectrinic lacelightingthe r appliancesanrebuiin poansi- Sion.bee A. (Arent Production. A marvellously great paper is the Family Herald and Weekly Star of Monreal, It is a newspaper, a magazine a stockbreeders' journal, a farmer's en cyelopcdia, a dairyman's guide, a household companion. Too much can- not be said in praise of the Family Her- ald and Weekly Star. It is a great paper, a great national enterprise, creditable to the Dominion and highly satisfactory to the subscribers, who find it one of the few investments that re turn immense dividends to the subscri ber Narrow' Escape. An accident which might haye re- sulted in a serious conflagration hap- pened at the Central Hotel on Monday night last. It seems a cominercial traveller was engaged in the sample room when a friend dropped in and not taking particular notice sat down OD a drop leaf table on which rested two hand lamps. The table capsized and the two lamps were broken to atoms, the oil igniting and soon all was in a blaze, but luckily after a hard fight and. before much damage was done the flames were.exting>,tished by aid of a large quilt that the traveller happened to have in his samples.

Egertag •r, Clerk, Think Now: It is not too early to begin the agita- tion of matters municipal with refer- ence to forming a council for 1896. It is too often the case that the subject is allowed to• remain undiscussed until a few days prior to nomination day, or until the day itself, when some in the assemblage shouts out a name witbout regard to qualification for the office. It's hurrah, boys, he's a "hail fellow well met," and in he goes with a rush,repen- tance coming when it is too late and the people find that their interests are only half looked after. It is not hale fellows that the town wants in the coun- cil. It is sound, thinking men, who are able to discern a gond thing when they see it, and to conduct the town's busi- ness as they would their own, that are wanted. Such men can alone be placed in office by a thinking electorate; not by those who are ready to dance to any music any Tom, Dick and Harry may pipe. Think before you act; wait till the right man is brought out; or bring him out yourself, and then work and vote for his election. Commence now to select the timber, and make the coun cil for 1897 one that for efficiency and good works has not been excelled or equalled. We make no mention of our present council let their deeds speak for them. Let there be some ripples on the municipal sea at once. Personal Mention.

The preparations of our enterprising merchants for the Christmas trade are most elaborate. It is worth a trip to see them. By a singular coincidence the late Mr. Hogarth's birthday was on the same date as his widow's and they were the same age. In describing a Bothwell funeral, the correspondent of a Chatham newspaper says: " , undertaker, conducted the burial in his usual artistic man- ner." Wednesday night last was the cold- est of the season, the thermometer reg iatering 2 degrees below zero. Many of our citizens had their house plants frozen. The Ladies of the ,Tames Street Church, who are making preparations for the tea in connection with the re- opening on the 29th and 30th, have met with very liberal encouragement. While Robert Leathorn and Alf. Tay- lor were returning home 'from Hensall Tuesday night, their rig collided with another rig going north but no serious damage was done save a broken whiffle tree. It will be sad news to many to learn of the death on Wednesday, at Imiay City, Mich., of Mrs. William North, for- merly Miss Palmer of this town, and sister of Mrs, Wm. Howard. The cause of death was consumption. We notice that Mr. John Grant, for- merly of Parkhill, who served six months in the Central Prison forspend- ing money which was not his, was on his release, but was at once taken to London to answer to the charge of per jury., According to law the annual meet- ing of the ratepayers of a rural school section is held on the last Wednesday in December. This year, however, the last Wednesday of this month isChrist- mas day and the meetings will be held the followingday.Those interested should make a note of the fact, The December sessions were opened in the Court House Goderich by His Honor Judge Doyle on Tuesday last, but there was not a case to he submit- ted, either civil or crimtual. The grand jury in their presentment could only recount the oft told tale of the number of inmates in the connty jail, and say that the premises wereclean and in good order. The officials and jurors earned their pay easily, but let's all be thankful that the courting was so limi- ted. The London: Advertiser says: --"Mr. Isaac Smith, of Talbotville, died very suddenly on Monday. He drove a team of horses to the blacksmith's to be shod. About 4 p. in. he was sitting on a chair when he suddenly fell Over, expiring in a few minutes. He was 62 years of age, He leaves a wife but no children.
