SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS.
—A telegram from tlie Northwest
on Thursday last reported cold weath-
er, and even snow at Edmonton. If
that occurs again, we shall lose faith
in the influence of Sir Wilfrid's "sun-
ny -smile" on Alberta weather.
* * *
—The Montreal Witness has just
celebrated its fiftieth anniversary as
a daily newspaper, and instead of
showing any decrepitude on account
of age, it is more sprightly and accept-
able than ever. The Witness holds
high rank as a fair, reliable and read-
able family newspaper. The Advance
wishes it.prolonged and extended use-
fulness.

—Last week Corea ceased to exist
as an independent kingdom, and be-
came past and parcel of the Japanese
empire. It has been virtually a part
of that empire for some time, but it
is formally so now, and its 12,000,000 of
population, and a large extent of min-
eral -bearing country. have been trans-
ferred to Japan, Since the Russo -Jap
war, the japs have been giving Corea
good government, and their final an-
nexation of the country was a fore-
gone conclusion. The Coreans will
be better off than. under a government
of their own, such as they had it the
past, at least,
* * *
—At the Association for the Pre-
vention of Crime, which met in
Guelph recently, the following resolu-
tion was passed :—
"That no girls under 16, or boys '
under 14, be allowed on the streets
after nine o'clock, except in the
company of their parents or some
responsible person."
The Advance feels like emphasizing
this resolution. On the streets at
night has been the total ruination of
boys and girls that might otherwise
have grown up to be useful, respected
citizens. Girls—remember that to be
on the streets at night is blighting
your chances for the future, Instead
of rising in the scale of public esteem,
you will go down. Respectable
young men do not search for suitable
life partners among 'the bold, tawdry
girls of the street. Boys, don't you
forget that the hours you spend on
the street might be full of gold for
you, if instead of frittering them
away on nothing, you would spend
them at home, obtaining useful infor-
mation and reading good books. Re-
member—the "street boy" will never
be a euccessful business man, nor a
model citizen, The things that uplift
and make a •"man" of you are not
learned on the streets at night,
—The Dominion Government has
decided that Rideau Hall, the re.
eidence of Canada's Governor-General
has seen its best days, and plans are
on the way for a new, palatial resid-
ence. Of course we cannot expect a
$100,000 Governor to live in a hovel.
Besidee, a country that can afford to
pay 200 million dollars for a transcon-
tinental railway, that was only to cost
thirteen millima ; and afford year after
•year to pay: a useless lot of old Sen-
ators a big salary for doing nothing,
and besides that fritter away many
more millione on a so-called "navy"
that we have no earthly use for—why
that country can afford almost any-
thing under the sun. Of course, it
may, be considered rude on the part of
art insignificant Tory editor, neverthe-
less we tugged that the hew building
be erected on entirely different prin.
ciplee to those observed in the build-
ing of the Laurier tower, or the Que.
bec bridge. We know some naughty
Tory will say—"Our debt is increasing
at an alarming rate; we cannot afford
to build a new residence for the Gov-
ernor-General." Afford mehaw 1 Debt,
nothing] Why that new gubernatorial
mansion tan be built out of the many
surpluses. Cost, noneense ! That one
surplus of twelve million would build
two or three pelees for the Governor.
Suet ask Mr. Pageley to build it that
way, tea that we shall USW& feel the
Wee

Very Sad Bereavement.
Sincere sympathy is manifested
with Mr. 3. H. Sellars of Morris and
his family in the sore trial through
which they are passing. Death in
any ease brings sorrow with it, but in
this case the sorrow is more pungent
than in ordinary cases. Our Morris
correspondent gives particulars, hence
it is not necessary to repeat them in
this column, See page 8.
Sunday School Excursion.
The excursion to Kincardine on
Friday last was fairly well patronized,
two special trains conveying the
passengers from Palmerston and
intervening stations. Wingham Sun-
day Schools joined with Brussels, and
abont 360 tickets were sold here, The
weather was very wet the day before
and this may have prevented some
from going, but Friday was fine, and
the excursionists report a pleasant
day.
Keep your eye on W. G. Patterson's
window for Saturday night.
Listowel Citizens Alarmed.
One of the physicians of Listowel is
reported to be critically ill with the
smallpox. A couple of weeks ago,
while up the Georgian Bay, he treated
patients 111 with the disease, and on
going to the barber shop, a rash was
noticed on his neck. Several other
customers were shaved with the same
soap, brush and razor. Later, he be-
came delirious, and was removed to an
isolated building erected outside the
town, where a man attends him at
$10 a day, and another carries food
and supplies at $8 a day, besides other
expenses. No other Cases have yet
developed, but there is a genuine scare
on in the town.
After Foul Brood.
Mr. J. S. Shrank of Port Elgin, Bee
Inipector for Huron and Bruce, visit-
ed Wingham and vicinity last week,
and reports having found some "foul
brood," a disease that will soon ruin
any apiary where it gets a foot -hold.
The pest spreads rapidly, as the bees
themselves may carry it from one
colony to another. In 1906, there was
an Act passed for the suppresion of
Foul Brood. The following is one of
the clauses, and may not be generally
known :—"Every bee -keeper or other
person, who is aware of the existence
of foul brood, either in his own apiary
or elsewhere, shall immediately notify
the Minister of the existence of such
disease, and in default of so doing
shall, on summary conviction before a
Justice of the Peace, be liable to a
fine of $5 and costs."

The Hensall Observer reports the
marriage of a, young man, formerly of
this town :—"A wedding took place
at the home of T. Hemphill, King
Street, on Wednesday at high noon,
when his daughter Lulu was united in
marriage with Roy Smyth, of Trail,
B. C. Atter the ceremony, which was
performed by Rev. J. E. J. Millyard,
in presende of the very immediate
relatives of the contracting parties,
a repast was served. The newly
married couple left on evening train
south, and leave shortly for the West-
ern province. The following from a
distance graced the occasion — Thos.
Hemphill and wife, ars° Miss Harris,
all of Wroxeter, Conductor Ireland,
wife, son and daughter, of Kincardine,
and Miss Arnold of Exeter. After the
wedding trip the happy couple will
settle in Trail, B.O."
We Enter Thirty -Ninth Year.
With this week's issue, the Advance
enters its thirty-ninth year. To an
editor, a retrospect is natural at the
recurrence of the anniversary of his
newspaper's birthday. For the past
twelve years the present editor has
coatrolled the destiny of the Advance,
and hence is only conversant with
about one-third of its history. A
glance backward over those years is
gratifying. A comparison of the last
issue of our predecessor with the Ad-
vance of to -day is decidedly interest-
ing, and the present :subscription list
placed alongside that of twelve years
ago, is most encouraging. We tender
our thanks to our advertisers, sub-
scribers and job work patrons. Theie
friendship and patronage have been
appreciated. FeW papere have a bet-
ter staff of correspondents, than the
Advance, and the editor is grateful
for their faithful and efficient assist-
ance. 8tanding on the threshold of
the 39th year, oar intention is to relax
no effort, for the best is none teo good
for our readers. We pass another
milestone with 111 -will to none, and if
(uninteritionally) we have offended
any, we trust they will overlook it.
Personally, we consider life too short
to perpetuate the unpleasant, if teach
occurs,
airttS WAN/ISM—FM work 011 pow-

No Harm To Try.
Salt, dry or in solution, is handy in
all parts of the house for various puts
poses. Placed on coals when meat le
being broiled, it prevents the dripping
fat from blazing. It prevents scorch-
ing when sprinkled in the oven under
the baking tins. It makes whitewash
stick better. Salt water is the beat
and simplest thing known for clean-
ing matting and willow ware.
Mr. Henry Deceased,
On Sunday evening, August 28th,
there passed away at the residence of
his son, Conductor Henry on ,Alfred
street, Mr, Thos. Henry, aged 08.
The funeral took place on Tuesday to
the early G,T,R. train, interment be-
ing made in )3right cemetery, De-
ceased had only been a resident of
Wingham for a few years, and op to
the time of going to press, we have
not been able to secure any ek tch of
his life.
Fire In Bakery.
On Friday last, about 11 a.m., fire
broke out in M. Beckwith's bakeshop,
in the rear of Awde's flour and feed
store. It originated at the oven and
was caused by the grates of the oven
furnace breaking, and allowing the
fire to fall and roll out over the floors.
Although Mr. Beckwith was close at
hand, the shop was soon on fire, and
the brigade was called out. The fire-
men responded promptly, and soon
had the fire under control. Mr. Beck-
with had it batch of bread nearly
ready for the oven, alad this was de-
stroyed, besides groceries, etc. What
the smoke did not damage, was ruined
by the water. The building belongs
to Geo. McKenzie, and the damage
done to it is covered by insurance.
Lloyd Awde had one hundred bags of
flour in store in the shop, and this was
damaged by smoke and water, but
was insured. Mr. Beckwith had no
insurance, but set to work energetical-
ly to dear the shop of water and next
day put through two large batches of
bread. Had the fire gained a little
more headway the front part of the
building, occupied by Lloyd Awde as
flour and feed store, would have been
destroyed, along with stock, or at
least a large portion of it.

tion. Mr, Spotton informs us that
over thirty students have been en-
rolled in one township in this county.

A tturon Pioneer Gone. /
Early on Sunday mornmg, Mr.
Michael Walker, a respected resident
of this town, passed aWay after an
illness of eeveral months. Last win-
ter he received a stroke of paralysis,
and since then had been confined to
his home, gradually sinking until the
end came, Mr. ,Walker was born in
Ireland in 1835, and was united in
marriage to his now bereft partner in
1854. Shortly after their marriage
Mr. and Mrs. Walker came to Canada
and after a brief residence in Grey,
removed to East Wawanosh, settling
on lot 32, concession 12, in 1850, There
they toiled and bore the privations of
early settlers. Eight sons and one
daughter were born to them, all of
whom are living. Mrs. Anderson of
Toronto is the only daughter; tlae
sons are—Jackson, sergeant of police,
Toronto, Robt. A. of Toronto, Thomas
of Cookeville, Elisha and Isaac of East
Wasvanosb, George and Wesley of
Clinton, • and James of Wingham.
Mr. Walker was a member of the
Methodist church, and while a resi-
dent of East Wawanosh was one of
the most, active workers and support-
ers of the Brick church appointment
and for many years a leading official.
Since coming to Wingham, when
health permitted he was a faithful
attendant at the church services. On
July Oth, 1904, Mr. and Mrs. Walker
celebrated their golden wedding, at
which all the family were present,
including eight sons, one daughter,
thirty-three grandchildren, and one
great-grandchild. Mrs. Wallser, who
is not in the best of health, will much
miss the partner of her life. The
funeral took place on Tuesday to
Wingham cemetery.

that he is averse to being re-elected.

—A wager was made between two
Howard township farmers as to how
much a stalk of corn will grow in a
single day. One of them said that a
healthy stalk of corn about waist high
would grow one inch, while the other
wagered it would grow two inches.
Accordingly it stake was driven in the
ground so that its top came even with
the highest blade of the stalk. At the
same hour the following day an ex-
amination was made and it was dis-
covered that the stalk of corn had
grown 4 inches.

after a long illness, and the cense of
death is said to have been due to an
abscess of the liver, cansed it is al-
leged, by injuries received in a hockey
match between Trenton and Belle-
ville, on the 16th of January last.

12th of February and stayed there till

thing happened just after his
death. His brother drove a horse
deceased used to drive, in front of
where the body lay. It whinneyed it
few times, looked around and dropped
dead.

"The Best Good Shoe"
There's One Way To
Get Good Shoes
Buy them 1 And pay the price, for
good shoes are worth it 1
Every time you skimp in shoes, you
oheat yourself,
The right shoe for your particular
foot is of PRIMARY importance what
they cost is sem/many.
INVICTUS SHOES are good shoes,
and would be made better still, if that
were possible—you will find a corres-
ponding high value in them for every
.dollar they cost you.
