This does not prevent some of the citizens of that town from getting into the other kind of a dock occasionally, because they were interested in a "wet" proposition, and last week, it cost one of them $100 and cost • for the fun. 11 hina will have constitutional go aliment in 1011; and by 1913 will havi completed a network of railways thr tighout the Flowery Kingdom, agg egating several thousande of mita Japen developed quickly, but China is developing even more rapid- ly Conti with its 400,000,000 of popu- lati n will give our boasted western civi izetion something to divert its mi 1, before many years are over. • '*** Tip Provincial Legislature is likely to Meet about March 9 th, and pre- *. partitions are already on the way.

Successful Church Anniversary. .••••}1... Anniversary services of Wingham Methodist Church were most success- ful, On Sunchiy, Rev. Dr. Retiedge preaohed excellent sermons; in the morning from Psalm 20 ;2, "The laird send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion" The discourse was appropriate for the occasion. In the evening the text was II Timothy 2:15—"Study to show thy- self Approved unto God; a workman that needeth not to be ashamed." The evening- congregation was very large, so that available Fleece in elides and galleries had to be seated with chairs. Master Douglas Stanbury, the "Bey Contralto Singer," sang twice at each service, and also at the Sunday School, delighting the congregations with his excellent renderings. The duets by Master Douglas and his mother, Mrs. Stanliury, were ale° . much enjoyed. The boy has a rich, sweet voice, that gives evidence of careful training. When he !dogs a hymn, be throws his whole soul into it; the familiar words take on new life auti force, This was especially noticeable in the old leymns— "Lead me gently borne" and "Stars in my Crown." An appeal was made to the congregation for $2,000, to renovate the chtirch and improve the beating' apparatus. The joint 13 iards origi- nated the enterprise and by individual subscriptions, set the example. The congregation responded nobly, and the amount raised totalled $2113 30. This does not include the receipts of the teameetiag on Monday evening, which amounted to $135:00 *** —Of courscrour readers will want to know in brief what is going on in the House of Commons during the past few days. Stripped of the hot air and long speeches, here it is :—The Government has decided to add. to our navy four cruisers and six destroyers, or ten vessels, to be completed in three years. This navy business will be a costly affair, and it is only just begiin. The main estimates for the year are, $138,803,200. The eupplementary esti- mates may run the expenditure up to nearly 150 million dollars. Say— isn't/ that going it rather steep? A rather close vote was taken last week. The Opposition wanted the privilege of examining accoune '')ion Committee, that dated. two yearei back, as they expected thereby ' to unearth some suspicious transactions. The Govern; ruent however put the lid on, and an amendment made by the Premier quickly stopped that fun, and was carried by a Government majority of 25; the closest vote of the session, so far at least. .Another point is the census. To take the census of Ca- nada's seven millions or more of population is estimated to cost a round million dollars, all of which will be distributed among faithful sup- porters of the Government. The question of "little things" pur- eliased for the Speaker's rooms came up in the House, and the public ac- counts showed that atnong the little things he beught for himself out of the publie funds were :—A basket of flowers, $8.00; a pipe case, $7,00; a jardiniere. 3300, etc., etc., amounting in all to $38S. Then there WC.9 $101.- 00 paid for seven month's rent for piano; two stuffed birds, $12 00; gramaphone and record, $317.00; wine glasses, etc etc., $682 00; furni- ture. etc., 31624 ; all this out of the public funds. Verily Speaker Marcil ought to have a good Male, with cost- ly furniture, gramophone, piano, stuffed birds, flowers, and all the other et ceteras. Live and Dressed POULTRY TED The teameeting On Monday even- ing was also a suecess. On account of the very large attendance, the ladies had over three hours' heavy work, but the visitors were patient and waited their turns good-natured- ly. Rev. Dr. Rutledge presided at the entertainment. Brief addresses were given by E. H. Croly, BA., rector 'of St. Panne and Rev. D. Perrie of St. Andrew's, both of whom conveyed the greetings of their congregations, and congratulations on the snecess of the anniversary. Rev. J. J. Durant of Belgrave spoke pleasantly for a short time but refrained from giving an address on Newfoundland, as the hour was late. Master Douglas and Mrs. Stanbury furnished the musical part of the programme, and their renderings were well received. ' Considering that the congregation is by no means wealthy, the building of the Church and removal of the debt in so short h time, and now the raising of over $2,000 for its improve- ment, is a remarkable showing. Dur- ing this time also, the raissionary givings have far more than doubled. keys, Geene, Fowl, also et your s ate 1 the Cburcb 'Hews Rev. James Brown of Orillia will be the preacher in Wingham. Bepsist °Marcie next Sunday. Rev. D. Petrie preached at White- church and Lengside last Sunday, and his pulpit in Wingbam was filled by Rev. Mr. Tlaynne of Palmerston.

While at his work in the Bell faeterY, one of his thumbs name in contact with a saw, and the result is that he is minus a piece of that digit. The mutilation will be painful as well as a future inconvenience. Will Try Again. Mr. Lewis, M.P. for West Huron, has again introduced his bill to make it a criminal offence for a person to be so criminally careless, as to fail to make sure that a deer is a deer before he shoots it, and then shed crocodile tears because he discovers it was a man.

DEAR EDITOR :—In looking over your paper recently, I observed a column headed "Beautiful Tdrnberry," and after reading it, I came to the conclusion that where there is a beautiful country, there are generally good-looking people. Now if my prophesy is right, there may be more individuals than Mr. Editor, who would like an invitation to see "Turn - berry." Especially when we hear of so many of her sons and daughters preferring to live a life of single bless- edness, for which we do not blame them under the circumstances natnely —the very rigid divorce laws we hove in Canada. The only remedy we have in view is for the fair ones to form a Union, not to enter into the holy bonds of matrimony until the Government gives them a vote, 160 acres of land free, and a divorce upon application. Hoping to hear some opinions on the subject I will now close.—Yours Truly, "Chicadee" r Person 1 '1 a 6 Mr. and "Wm jno.

J. Gnaws, A Fine Number. The Farmers' Advocate has issued a very fine Christmas number, which is sent free to all its subscribers. The first page of reading matter is adorn- ed with an eloquent editorial, entitled, "Carvida, A Nation." Avoiding em- cee; fully the rocks of controversy, it pre sents our most probable destiny as nue of a community of autonomous, self-governing, yet allied, nations, wherein the Golden Rule of 'Right- eoueness will replace the law .of the jungle, The preliminary results of a recently -instituted inquiry, by means of personal canvass, into the leading horse markets, are clearly set forth under the caption, "Draft -horse Opportunities," But perhaps the hest feature of a superlative number is "The Tale of the Pioneers," a vivid recital of real experience in the early days, when wolves howled about the settler'e cabin, and his wife dwelt for months and years without seeing the face of another white woman., The Home department is f nil of good things. The Advocate is $1.50 a year. or the Advance and Advocate $2 35, Teeswater Iola Luerd 4 eg • Former Resident Deceased. -s There passed away on Sunday, Dec. 11, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Bowden, in Brantford, Mrs. John Mc- Donogh, who for many year was a respeeted resident of this town. She had been in delicate health for several years on account of heart trouble; later dropsy set in, with fatal.results. Mrs, McDonogh was a member of the Methodist Church, and a resident of Wingbam for over 38 years, from Dec. 1866 till April 1934, when the family removed to near Settforth. Besides her bereaved husband, she loaves five sons and four daughters. The eons are—John, Joseph, and William of To- ronto, George of Winnipeg, and Robt. who cannot be looted. The daugh- ters are—Mrs. Miller of Kingsville, Mrs. Dulmage of Seaforth, Mrse Alta - man and Mrs. Bowden of Brantford. On Monday Morning, when at the home Of her sister in Brantford Mrs. DnImege fell into a teller ahd sustain- ed injaries, among them one rib was broken.

Since June 1909, the residence re- quirement for an indigent seeking admission to Huron House of Refuge, has been residence for one year In this County at any time. This meant that an indigent resident, perhaps in the United States, who had ever lived in the County for one year, could return, be sent to the House of Refuge, and become a, charge on the County. At the County Council last week, Reeves Shearer of Howick and Powell of Turnberry introduced a motion re- quiring that the requirement be al- tered to residence for one year im- mediately prior to committal. After a lengthy debate, the motion carried by a two-thirds vote. Messrs. Shearer and Powell deserve great credit for their persistence in this matter, as they had been defeated on that ques- tion in the January session. Municipal Matters. There is very little that is new in the municipal field, except that Dr, Redmond has announced himself de- finitely in the field for the Mayoralty. He has served the town faithfully for two years, and at first thought of re- tiring, but yielding to the solicitations of friends, he has decided to enter the contest. With Councillor Redmond and ex -Councillor Spotton in the field, and perhaps a third, there ought to be life in the Mayoralty contest. Messrs, McDonald and "McKibben are the con- testants for the Reeveship. Conn's Elliott and Bone will no doubt be returned' to the Council. Mr. S. Mitchell is about the only new aspir- ant for the Council mentioned, and his friends promise to put him at top of the poll. In Turnberry, Coun, A. Kelly will Oppose Reeve Powell, so it is said. Give the Boys and Girls our excel- lent Shoes for Christmas. Nothing more sensible.—W. J. Greer. Presentation To Warden Irwin. At the final session of the Huron County Council for 1910 held in Gode- rich during 'last week) our esteemed Reeve, Dr. Irwin, was presented by his fellow councillors with a handsome gold -headed CANE, accompanied by the following address :— Dr. A. J, Irwin, Warden of the County of Huron. Dear Sir :—We, the members of this Council of the County of Huron cannot let this opportunity, the final meeting of this year, pass without ex- pressing our unqualified. approval of the ability, unfailing kindness, cour- tesy and impartiality, with which you have discharged the duties of -your position as Warden of this County, and we ask you to accept this CANE as a small tribute of our appreciation and respect and our best wishes for your future prosperity. Signed on behalf of 'the Council. Dr. Irwin sincerely appreciates the expression of confidence and esteem. Electric Railway. A correspondent to the Goderich Signal recently gave the following on the. progress of the ' Ontario 'West Shore Railway :—"Construction wok on the Ontario 'West Shore Railway goes merrily on, and considerable. pro- gress has been made this fall, notwith- standing the rough and stormy- wea- ther of the past month. Both the ties and the rails from Goderich to Port Albert are now laid, with a large portion of the ballasting work com- pleted. Already several cars of freight have Been received at Port Al- bert, consisting of coal for the farmers in this vicinity and Manitoba for Shoenhals mill. Considerable work on the trestle and abutments over the Ntne Mile River is being pushed for - 'ward Py a, working staff of some forty or more workmen and. there is every probability that the cement and wood- work will be completed early in the new yeer. The Nine Mile River is only. a small stream, but it runs through a deep hollowswith very high and wide banks on both sides which it has been found necessary to fill in and bridge over so as to make a high level roadAray° to eonoect with the level land along the Ashfield shore. There will be when completed about 850 feet of trestle -work, which is not- being vigorously pushed forward. The span over the Armin will be 60 feet from one abutment to the other and will be of steel, Just as soon its the steel. work is placed over the river so as to admit of the construction train get- ting across the work will be eompara- tively easy, for the road -bed is already as far north as Amberley, and if the work through the township tlf Hume to Kinearditie ie puebed on as vigorously as it is being here, there is nothing to prevent the completion of the line for traffic by the middle of next year. There is it report that a passenger coach may be placed on tile line nose built from Port Albert and Goderich, to run at stated hours once every day. Adjourned Till June. At the Sessions in Goderich, on Tuesday, the charge against Me. Armstrong of Lucknow was heard. It will be remembered that the death of Miss Murray of Detroit was caused by the receipt of the wrong drug from Mr, Armstrong's store, Constable Phippen was engaged looking up evi- dence. On account of the absence of a witness through illness, the case was adjourned until June. Public School Board. The Public School Board held the closing regular meeting of 1910, on Tuesday evening. Accounts present- ed and certified to, were passed. The Inspector's report showed, the echool to be in excellent condition and teachers doing good. work. A request from the pupils for for small pipe and hose to flood a rink, was granted. The teachers received an addition of $22 50 to salaries in lieu of Govern- ment grant received last year.
