The home of Mr. James Messer, on the boundary, south of the village was completely destroyed by fire on Mnnday afternoon last. The fire is supposed to have started at the chimney. Nearly all the contents on the lower floor were saved, but nothing could be saved up- stairs. The fire will cause considerable inconvenience and will be a heavy loss. The loss is partly covered by insurance. Mr. Mener and family will occupy the house on the adjoining farm, owned by Mr. Robt. Messer until such time as the houAe c, n be rebult.

The meeting closed with "Auld Lang Syne". Next Monday night, March 9, A. L. Pesliff, principal of Wingham PubliL School will give an address on the poet Tennyson, and the program will, as usual, be appropriate in character. At a meeting of the ratenayers held on Sa.turdar a i rerneen it was decided to proceed with the erection of a school here as previously decided on. The school, however, will built so as to per- mit of enlargement whenever it is nec- essary to change it to a consolidated school. The lot owned by Rev. W. J. West, n irth of the Methodist church was favort d as a site for the new school and an effort will be made to have part of the urused road allowance at the south and v est of the lot appropriated so as to make the grounds large enough. Plaid neckties, Glengarry bornets tartan bows, tam o'shanters, Scottish, songs, recitaiionq, reading, anecdotes and dances combined to give the "Nicht wi' Burns" held by the Literary Society last Wednesday evening the character of a national celebration. The Forest- er's Hail was packed by the largest audience of the season and the program which was i long one to begin with, was prol rigd to a late hour by the numerous .-ncores to which the popular entertainers were forced to respond. The central feature of the evening was an address on "Burns" by Rev. Craw- ford Tate, a carefully prepared and gracefuly expressed appreciation of the poet, including numerous quotations from his works. (See page 3 of this issue) The Literary Society was hon- ored in heating two Scottish songs by Mr. Andrew Grey, a gentleman in his eighty-seventh year. Miss Jean Black was a graceful little Highland dancer and one of the great successes of the evening was the male quartette consist- ing of J. W. and P. D. King, A. Mc- Ewen and Robt. Black. They wore Scotch bonnets and sang two of Harry Landers' comic songs with a very amusing effec t lhe "Literary Digest" also reflected the Scottish spirit of the evening in several departments and contained an article from the special representative of the 'Digest" at the Opening of the Legislature, Eldred Tate. The complete program was as follows: - National Anthem; Selection, "Bonnie Dundee" by the Ha-monica Band; Ladies' Quartette, "Flow Gently, Sweet Afton" by Mrs. M. Watson, Misses Cora Messer, Agnes Aitchison and Carrie Diamond, recitation "The Birth- place of Burns" (written by Robt. G. Ingersoll) by Hugh Sinnamon; Violin solo.

S., says: "Baby's Own 1 Tablets are a grand Inedine for little ones and I am well satisfied with the results obtained froni them." Mrs. McIntyre's testimony the same as that of thousands ot, otner mothers. Once a mother has used the Tablets she will use nothing else for the results are sure and the Tablets are guaranteed by a government analyst to be perfectly safe. They are sold by medicine deal- ers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. THE DIFFERENCE IN PARTIES.. (London Advertiser.) In Seaforth the axe seems to have slipped and struck a good, faithful Tory office holder. Sir Wilfrid Laurier or his represent- ative in South Huron thought so much Samuel Dickson, posfmaster of Seaforth since 1865. that he allowed him to re remain in office continuously. It was not until the hungry horde was let into the park that he was thrown from the seat be had won and honored. Some years ago, if The Advertiser is correct- ly informed, a malicious report was cir- culated in Seaforth to the effect that M. Y. Mclean, then member for South Huron, was seeking the office of post- master and that he intended to have Mr. Dickson dismissed. The report was circulated with the intention of injuring Mr. McLean and at a public/meeting he occasion to deny it, and to state that insofar as he was concerned, Mr. Diek- 1 son could hold the post for life. Mr. McLean's conductis a Strung con- trast with at of Mr. Merner, the present member. Although o tly two members of an executive of eleven hurriedly call- ed together, voted to oust M r. Dickson, his dismissal, without superannuation, was received in the course of a few weeks. In Seaforth they say that Mr. Merrier has not shown his face in the town since Mr. Dickson was dismissed. And well might he be ashamed to show it. The "inside" of the action that gives him ! cause to blush will be brought to the I attention or the House by Dunkan Ross, M. P., who is asking for a return of the papers. Among them should ap- pear a protest from the Conservatives I of the riding, which has been "acknow- ledged." It is rather odd that good Conservatives have to turn their grievances for an airing over to a Liber- al member, but if justice can be secure - ed for a man whom Sir Wilfred befrie- nded, Mr. Ross will get it. "Let the issue come when it may, I would rather go down to defeat fighting against the bar than win victory ten times over through an alliance with the bar. The people of this province must decide that issue. The organized temperance forces of the province have repeatedly appealed to the government to, abolish the bar. The government has refused to accede to their request. They have appealed to us to adopt this policy. We, believ- ing the policy to be right, have adopted it and submitted it to the House and the country. I do not bqlieve that the men, Liberal and Conservative, who waited on us and asked us to adopt this policy will, when the election time comes, go back on the policy they have asked us to adopt." -N. W. Rowel:. the Liberal leader in the legis- lature at Toronto. The High Calling of Motherhood. demands the utmost precaution in maintain- ing health at high efficiency.
