while skating.
Miss E. S. McIntosh of London spent
a few days at the home of her uncle,
Mr. T. G. Gaunt.
There was a large attendance at the
Guild meeting on Sabbath evening,
which shows the interest of the older
people, as well as the young people, in
the welfare of the Young People's So-
ciety. This interest is an inspiration
to the members as evidenced by the in-
teresting meeting conducted under the
leadership of Miss Greta Fox. A splen-
did paper on the topic was read by the
leader and the discussion was continued
by the members in a number of bright
helpful papers. Next Sabbath Miss E.
Davidson will have charge of the meet-
ing, the topic, " Our Laws Bearing on
Morals."
A large and enthusiastic audience as-
sembled on 1 riday evening, March 5th
to enjoy the splendid program given by
the Literary Society. In spite of
e
inclement weather), Langside St. Helen's,
leeordyce, Wingham and Lucknow were
represented. The meeting opened with
the singing of "The Maple Leaf." fol-
lowed by the chairman's address. A
very amusing recitation was given by
Master Ernest Penrose and a few witty
remarks by Rev. Mr. McIntosh of St.
Helen's followed, An instrumental
duet by Miss Marjorie Gordon and Rev.
J. Ure Stewart delighted everyone and
a recitation by Mr. Elliott Miller was
listened to with great pleasure. A sel-
ection by the mixed quartette was very
much enjoyed also a solo by Mr. John
Eglestone The "Echo" was read by
its editor, Mr. J. F. Cook. A recita-
tion by Mr. James Penrose greatly
pleased the audience also a dialogue
"Going to a new home" given by six
young people. The debate arranged be
tween St. Helen's and Whitechurch was
the :most prominent feature of the pro-
gram. The subject was Resolved:
"That strong drink has wrought more
harm in the world than War." St.
Helen's upheld the affirmative led by
Mr. Elliott Miller supported by Mr.
D. Phillips and Mr. W. Rutherford;
Whitechurch upheld the negative, led
by Mr. T. H. Moore, supported by Mr.
Jas. Martin and Dr. White. Rev. Mr.
McIntosh of St. Helen's,'Dr. Jamieson,
of Whitechurch and Mr. John Murray
of Langside were the judges. While
the judges were arriving at their decis-
ion. the program was continued by
violin and mouth -organ selections by
Mr. R. Ross, Mr. C. Middleton, and
Mr. A. E. Pardon with piano accom-
paniment by Mrs. W. J. Dawson and
Miss M. Gordon; a recitation by Mr.
E. Miller, a reading by Miss 0. Mc-
Clenaghan and a short speech by Mr.
Woods, President of St. Helen's Liter-
ary Society, in which he expressed his
pleasure in being present. All were
listened to with great interest and most
heartily applauded. A special feature
of the evening was the debut of the
Whitechurch colored minstrelsy, to
piano accompaniment by Rev. 3, Ure.
Stewart, they rendered, "Masssa's in
de Cold, Cold Ground," which was so
heartily received that they were forced
to respond to the prolonged applause.
The judges' decision, which was in fav-
or of Whitechurch, was given by Rev.
Mr. McIntosh. In a few closing re-
marks, Rev. Mr. Stewart expressed
the hope that a series of friendly de-
bates among neighboring societies
might be arranged. The singing of the
National Anthem brought to a fitting
close a most enjoyable evening's enter-
tainment. The closing meeting will be
held on March 19. A number of White-
church people intend paying St. Helen's
Literary Society a visit on Friday eve-
ning of this week when the subject,
"Resolved that Education has had more
Influence in the world than Wealth"

eties.

but perfectly adapted glasses

LIAMENT
NOTICE is hereby given that an Ap-
plication will be made by the Corpora-
tion of the Town of Wingham to the
Legislature of the Province of Ontario
at the next Session thereof for an Adt.
(1) To authorize the Council of the-.
Corporation of the Town of Wingham
to pass By-laws without obtaining the'
assent of the Electors for the issue of
debentures for a term not exceeding
thirty years and to bear interest at
such rate as Council may deem expedi—
ent for the following purposes:— (a)
$12,000.00 for the payment of the float-
ing indebtedness of the said Corpora-
tion; (b) $1,200,00'for the settlement of
a damage claim against the said Cor-
poration. (2) And to permit the
said Corporation of the Town of Wing -
ham to invest it's Sinking Funds in any
debentures issued under any By-law
or By-laws that may be passed in
pursuance of this ,Application.
The existing debenture debt of the
said Town of Wingham is as follows:

The reasona for requiring the further
issue of debentures are as follows: (a)-
To enable the said Corporation to pay
off it's floating indebtedness which was
incurred partly in executing works of
a permanent and necessary character~
and partly through the failure of a
Manufacturing Industry to repay mon-
ies loaned to it by the said Corporation
by way of a bonus; (b) To settle a
claim against the said Town for dam-
ages owing to the death of en employee.
