About The Dog Tax,
An item has been going the rounds
of the newspapers, stating that a tax
of $2 00 will hereafter be Levied on
every dog in the province, and a tax
of $5 on bitches. This is incorrect.
The Bill, which was brought into the
legislature by Mr, Bowyer, provides
dog a tax of $1 on the first d g owned
or harbored, and $a on each dog over
one. The tax on the first bitch kept is
$3, and $5on each over one. One dog
is enough for any man to keep, and
that is one too many if not worth
$1. per year.
Thriving And Progressive.
The following item is from last
week's Goderich Signal, and shows.
what others think of Wingham
"The Wingham papers report a meet-
ing of the Board of Tradein that
town at which over seventy of the
business men and citizens of the town
were present. No wonder Wingham
is thriving and progressive. In Gode-
rich all the use some people have for
the Board of Trade is to make n
grumble over it. The Board of Trade,
here or anywhere else,. is just what
the citizens of a town make it."

showed their interest in what this
organization is endeavoring to do, by
their attendan:e. The. committee ap-

A Communication.
The following communication has
been sunt to The Advance by a rate-
payer :-"We are glad to hear that
the Wingham Council is taking active
measures to retain the Lloyd & I3u-
chanan factory in town. Wingham
needs all the industries it can secure.
We are also pleased that a move has
been made\to secure the Carnegie
grant for a new Public Library. Some
may think this is not a utilitarian pro-
ject, but it is a fact that beautiful
buildings and surroundings add to the
value and attractiveness of a town.
Those who improve their property
also add to tho•value of the surround-
ing property, , Towns that have built
Carnegie Libraries have found .that it
does not cost any more to maintain
them than it did the old ones, so our
ratepayers need not be alarmed that
it will add any to the'taxes."
"The Account Register System," and
so far as we know, is the first of its
kind in town. The system renders
with each purchase, whether by
phone or in person, an itemized bill,
the past account added showing the
correct standing of an account at all
times, The system completely avoids
the possibility of a mistake or Mies
understanding about an account. The
system is enclosed in a neat cabinet,
and although it does not occupy much
space, yet is capable of a great deal of
service.
Anniversary Services.
The Epworth League of Wingham
Methodist Church was favored with
beautiful weather for its anniversary
services, which were held on Sunday
and Monday last. The preacher for
the Sunday services • was Rev. F. L.
Farewell, B. A., of Toronto, Secretary
of Sunday Schools and • Epworth
Leagues, who delighted
he la
r
e con-
gregationt
with his bright, thoughtful
and inspiring sermons. Mr. Farewell
is one of the rising young men of the
Methodist Chinch, evidence of which.
is the responsible position be. occupies.
On Monday evening a most enjoy-
able social was given in the school-
room of the church, at which was a
large attendance. Dr. Rutledge, the.
pastor, occupied the chair in his usual
humorous manner. ' The program was
much enjoyed, and consisted of the
following :-Solos by Miss Alice Mann
and Mr. 1?. J. Hill ; vocal duets by
Messrs. R. Maxwell and J. Stalker,
and W. 3. and ;(..,G. Willis ; instru-
mental .duets by Misses M. Hammond
and Laura Kerr, and Misses B.
Reynolds and E, Hall. Rev. E. H.
Croly, B. A., rector of St. Paul's
Church, gave an address which was
highly appreciated. At the chose of
the program, a tasty lunch was served.
The anniversary services of the League
were successful from every stand-
point.
Dr. Samson's Address.
Dr. Samson, of Windsor, lecturer-
in•cbief on Government Annuities,
delivered an instructive and eloquent
address, which was Iistened to witb
hntet•est by a small audience, last
Friday evening in the Town Hall,
The Annuities are provided accord
ing to an Act passed by the Dominion
Parliament. They are not Pensions.
The Government does not pay an al-
lowance out of `the treasury to old
people. But the Government con-
tracts to take deposits from any per-
son at any age and convert them into
annuities payable at such an age as
the applicants desire. The same thing
is done by insurance companies, but
the following are the advantages of
the Government plan for persons with
moderate means :-
The whole wealth and Credit of the
nation is behind the contract. All the
cost of securing subscribers, of admin-
istering funds, and carrying on the
business, is borne by the Government,
and the investor escapes this charge.
The Government pays four per cent.
compound interest on all the premi-
ers or investments, fixing the annui-
ties on that basis, and, hi case of death
before the annuity period, rennet
the anlounts paid with 3% interest.
There are no forfeitures, no penal-
ties, no lapses. Whether payments
are large or sn~."all, regular or variable,
the final adjustment le made on the

First Baptist Church.
The editor of this paper recently at-
tended service at the First or "Tem-
ple" Baptist Church, Los Angeles.
This congregation worships in the
"Auditorium," an immense building,
said to be the largest of the kind, and
seating comfortably 3000 people. A
large joint stock company built it at a
cost of over one million dollars, and
with rent of stores, offices and audi-
torium chamber, it is a paying pro-
perty. The Baptists could not build
a church in so prominent a part of the
city, on account of the . tremendous
price of land, so they rent the audi-
ence chamber and one or two smaller
rooms. They have the use • of the
audience room on Sundays only, and
pay a rental of five thousand dollars a
year. It is one of the finest audience
rooms we were ever in, is cusltiort-
seated, and has four galleries, one
above the other on three sides of the
building. The ladies of the choir
wore 'white surplices, and the hymns
used were those gospel hymns known
by everyone. The organ is an im-
inense one, but is entirely hidden. At
Mmes, the music seems to come from
an instrument located miles away ;
then it seems to pour down upon you
from an arched grating its the ceiling ;
again, it seems to rush in volumes
from behind the Choir; when the full
organ is used, it appears to come from
above you, below yon, and from each
wall, until you are enveloped in .an
ocean of melody. It is almost linos -

I k n around to see
where it is all coming from, unci the

Drowning Accident.
The home of Mr. and Mre. Henry
Bayles was plunged into pungent sor-
row on Monday morning of this week,
when their son Albert, a lad of five
years, met his death by drowning.
The parents reside on the north side
of the town, across McKenzie's bridge,
not far from the river, The lad stett-
ed.
tett-ed. out with the intention of fishing,
in company with his little brother,
and as far as can be ascertained,
in some way or other fell off the
0, P. R. bridge, The alarm was soon
given, and Ezra Merkley and Jno.
Huffman were not long in securing a
boat and rowing to the scene of the
disaster, but not in Aisne to rescue the
lad before the spark of life had fled.
The body was found in an erect posi-
tion in the water, with the head show-
ing a little above the surface. The
accident is a very sad one, and the
parents have the deepest sympathy of
our townspeople. The funeral took
place on Tuesday afternoon to the
Wingham cemetery, and was conduc-
ted by Rev. E. H. Croly.
Judging. from the fine weather,
spring has left the lap of winter and
ie now bustling on its own account.

more of Westfield, who is retiring
from farm life. We welcome Mr.
Densmore and the Misses Densmore

good citizens who wish to come to

Why is ib that no one wants to
live in the country any more? Cities
are full of people who live from "hand
to mouth," and whose total wealth is
represented by the clothing they have
on. Years go by and these persons
never have a home. They lose that
independence that the proud owner of
a farm or country mechanic has. If
there is one needed reform it is to
keep the people on the farm and in
the workshops and away from
cities.
SnINGLEs.-•Previous to the advance
in prices, I purchased a large quantity
of British Columbia Shingles, from
