S. S. CONVENTION,
The annual Sunday School Con -
vexation and 1?uri-Decanal meeting for
the County of Huron assembled in St,
Paul's School room on Friday, June
tad, There was a celebration of the
Holy Communion in the morning, at
which Lbe Rev, T. Hicks assisted the
Rector. The Deanery Chapter met in
the rectory at 1 pan., and the Rev.
L, H. Croly was elected secretary to
replace the Rev. W. J. Doherty,13.A.,
who had been appointed Rural Dean.
The intended departure of the Rev.
and Mrs, Mark Tnrnbull of Goderich
for Mexico was the subject of a rem.
talon expressing the deep regret of
the Chapter at their departure, after
such a long and faithful service in the
Deanery, and praying God's richest
blessing on their future work.
After assembling in the echoed room
with the new Rural »ean the Rev.
W. J. Doherty, B.A., in the chair, the
delegates were cordially welcomed to
Winghamby the Rector of the parish.
Miss Cornyn read a paper on—"How
to interest the Fig boy in the S. S ,"
which was replete with good sug-
gestions and interesting details ; a
hearty discussion followed.
Mr. Metcalf, who was to have even
an address, was detained through ill-
ness, so Rev, D. W. Coiling kindly
read a paper, which had been prepar-
ed by Mr. W. Garside on—"The S. S.
and the Church," advocating the
training of scholars to take the
services of the Church and a uniformi-
ty in our 8, S. service, Rev. T. H.
Farr, 13. A., gave an excellent paper
on—"The boy in the home, the S. S.
and the Church," which was greatly
appreciated and thoroughly discussed.
"The *home department," was the
subject of an instructive address by
the Rev, G. A. Andrew, M. A., of
1 Sebeingville, who had a thorough
JP- knowledge of his subject.
The officers were then elected for
the ensuing year :—Hon. Pres., Rev.
Rural Dean Doherty ; Pres., Rev. C.
E. Jeakine, B. A., 13. D. ; Cor. Sec.,
Miss Bently ; Rec. See., Rev. E. H.

roll, Miss Houghton; Missionary, Mr.
J. B. Young ; Literature, Mr. W. J.

Tho evening service, conducted by
Rev. John Berry, assisted by Rev. H.
A. Wright, 13. A., was well attended,
and three excellent addresses were
given. The Rural Dean, after a few
introductory remarks, introduced the
speakers, the first being Rev. G. A.
Andrew, who epoke upon —"The
Bible in the Home." Rev. .U. W.
Collins took for his subject—"The ter-
centenary of the Authorized Version,"
The concluding address on — "The
Adult Bible class," was given by Mr.
John Hartley. Miss Griffin's solo,
"The Pilgrim," was much appreciated
and the choir under the able leader-
ship of Mr. Willis, rendered a fine
anthem. The singing of the National
anthem brought to a close one of the
most successful conventions .ever held
in the Deanery, and much credit is
due the Rural Dean for his untiring
efforts in making it such a success,
and to the ladies of St, Paul's for their
kind hospitality.
Thanks, Friend Cunningham.
Mr. 3. J. Cunningham was kind and
thoughtful one day recently, when he
sent his fine new $2700 auto around to
take the editor of the Advance for a
ride. We secured the :Assistance of
Mr. Geo. Mason to help to hold down
the hind axle. Then a teal good-look-
ing chap was needed to match the
driver on the front seat, and W. J.
Greer wag invited and filled the bill.
All enjoyed the ride very much, and
felt perfectly tate with Will. Lepard
as driver, than whom there is no bet-
ter, Will, is an expert ; he thorough-
ly understands a car, is careful of his
passengers, and (svbat can not be said
of every automobilist) careful of the
rights of the public on the road.

By-law 033 to amend Transient
Traders By-law was introduced by the
Mayor, read and -passed. on vote of
4-3. The changes intended are—defin-
ing of "transient trader" and increase
of fee from 550 to $150.
The general impression seems to be
that the Transient Traders' By-law
has been killed, and only the corpse
remains,
By-law 034 to provide for improve•
ment and extension of Waterworks
by providing. pure water, and raising
$5,000 for these purposes was read
twice. Vote will be taken July 10th.
Commissioner Morton gave explana-
tion as to why the money was re-
quired. The By-law caused consider-
able talk .(could scarcely be called dis-
cussion) and was mixed up almost in-
extricably with the question of accept-
ing resignation of Commissioner Van -
Norman (who is absent.) The follow-
ing motions came out of the chaos.
Elliott—Bone—That By-law No, 631
be published the necessary number of
times in the Wingham Advance—
carried, 4 to 3.
McKenzie—Bone—That the resigna-
tion of V. R. VanNorman be accepted
—carried on same vote.
McKenzie—Elliott--That the Clet1t
arrange for the election of Commis-
sioner ; election same day as vote on
By-law 031—carried.
The Hospital grant came up again
for discussion. Mr. Clegg presented
the case and Dr. Redmond readthe
published financial report, and after 1
prolonged consideration, on motion of
Elliott and Bone, the usual grant of
$200 was granted.
Messrs. Greer, Gerrie and Morton,
as a deputation, asked for grant to the
Agricultural Society. On this ques-
tion also there seemed to be a wide
divergence of opinion. Soine of the
Council thought 525 enough ; others,
on account of the necessities of the
rase, thought the 5100 asked for not
too much to encourage the Society.
A. deadlock was avoided by compro-
mise
o -
mise and on motion of Bone and Ball,
$50 was given.
The hour Was late (11.20 p.m.);, the
audience had dwindled to a few, and
they gave signs of weariness. The
Councillors bore the nervous strain of
the strenuous session like municipal
heroes. As they dispersed, the gloom
Coos. Mitchell einif
was dissipated , ; d e
out aloud, and 'the Mayor's hearty
"ha, ha" indicated gratification at the
accomplishment of the work of the
session. The 'Councillors who could,
lit their pipes or cigars, aha let their
troubles ascend in smoke, while the
others retired to the shelter of the
honye-nest, to Sleep off the effects of

Scared Horse. .
A nervous horse and an automobile
can create a few anxious minutes and
do some damage. On Thursday last,
as Mr. Beckwith and his danghter,
Alice, were returning from White-
church, an automobile in passing
alarmed the horse to such an extent
that Mr, Beckwith and bis daughter
were both thrown out, and the vehicle
considerably damaged. The occu-
pants of the motor car gave notice of
their approach and when they saw the
trouble, stopped and assisted so far as
they could. The occupants of the
buggy fortunately were not injured.

To The Editor Of The Advance.
Dear Sir:—Allow me a small Space
to refer to the accident mentioned in
your Wroxeter correspondence of last
week. On seeing Me. Timm ahead
of ate, I gave the usual warnings.
Mr. Timm pulled out to one side to
allow me to pies, Which I did, and I
was especially careful 'when I saw
there were children in the buggy, If
Mr. Timm held up his hand, 1 did not
see it, and it was not until I had
passed that the occupants of the
buggy were thrown out. I used all
the tate possible, and feel that I was
not to blame in the matter. 1 am
sorry the accident ocourted, but I
took every
preoaution possiblef but
the occurrence was entirely aooiden-
tel. Your eorreep ondent has evident-
ly been misinformed, 'Tours teuly,
E. Markley.
A Freak Egg.
A hen belonging to Lloyd Awde
recently produced a peculiar egg. It
was quite flat on one side, and on that
side was a small circle. Running out
from the circumference were thirteen
linea, having the appearance of having
been thirteen seams sewed up. That
hen must have dreamed that site met
with an accident, and then passed
through an operation at the sewing
machine. She most have been glad
when she woke up and found it was a
dream, but the egg bears the marke
of her fright.

ih the firm of Mitchell en Vanatter, of
the Goderich Star. Mr, Vanatter

To The Coronation.
Dr. Irwin left on Thursday last for
a trip across the Atlantic to old Lon-

coronation. The editor of this paper
told him to give the respects of the
whole staff to King George, and tell
him, that they hope he will have a
good time and be successfully crowned
"long to reign over us." The doctor
replied that he would do as we re-
quested, and also tell George that he
saw his name in the Wingham Ad-
vance. The doctor sailed by the Lake
Erie of the Allan ]Ane, and was ac-
companied by Mr. and Mrs. Harwood
of Vancouver, who have been visiting
in Wingham during the winter. Mr.
Il, Davis, agent of the Allan lino
here, ticketed them.
Hamilton Wedding,
The following item is from a Hamil-
ton paper of May 30th :—"The marri-
age of two very popular young people
took place yesterday afternoon when
Rev, J. A. Wilson united in the bonds
of matrimony Miss Lucille Thomp-
son, daughter of Mrs. M. Thompson,
39 West Avenue South, and Benjamin
Davidson, formerly of Wingham.
The happy event took place at St.
Andrew's parsonage at 2 o'clock and
was of a quiet nature, only the im-
mediate relatives being in attendance,
Mr. and Mrs, Davidson left on the 315
C. P. R. train for points west and on
their return will reside in Hamilton.
The bride and groom are well known
in the city, Mr. Davidson being em-
ployed by Trudell Sc Tobey. They re-
ceived many beautiful and costly
presents, including a number from
outside the city, all of which testify
as to the high esteem in which they
are held by their friends, who extend
to them best wishes for a long and
happy life."
,lune Wedding.
An exceedingly pretty wedding
took place on WWednesda
Y of this
week, at the residence of the bride's
parents, on Leopold St., when Miss
Pear' V., eldest daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Jas, Iluncen, was united in
marriage to Mr, Chester Copeland,
second son of Mrs. M. E. Heath. The
ceremony was performed at 12 30 by
Rev. Me. Croly, only a few relatives
and intimater nd i
fie softhe young

ferns, and the library, where the
ceremony took place, was decorated
in white and green. The bride, who
was given away by her step -father,
Was unattended, and Mrs. J, Elder
temnbach of Ottawa acted as matron
of honour. The bride was never fairs
er than in her bridal costume of cream
crepe de chene, simply and artistically
fashioned. The skirt was perfectly
plain, finished in folds of Duchess
satin. The bodice was fashioned with
yoke and short sleeves of Burges lace
bound with satin, while a rich corsage
and berthe arrangement of pearl and
crystal gave a modish effect. She
wore a tulle veil taught by lilies of the
valley. Mies Leura Kerr played
Mendelssohn's wedding march. The
bride was the recipient of numerous
and costlygifts and the non es: left on
the afternoon train :for ,Toronto and
Stagers. Palls.
Lost No Thee,
As freight number 416 was passing
Jeannett'a Creek, Wm. Young, the
fireman, was standing between the
tender and the engine, when the train
struck a curve and a sudden lurch of
the engine threw the fireman out. G.
Richardson, the engineer, immediate-
ly reversed his engine and applied the
brakes, but when he looked around he
saw his firemen climbing nn to one
of the ears at end of the train, He
ran: over the train climbed down into
the engine and started to shovel coal
Into the firebox without looking at or
speaking to his mate.
Waterworks By -Law.
The Commissioners find that the
amount of rnoney provided for
furnishing pure water is not nearly
sufficient, and hence a By-law will be
submitted for an additional 55,000.
The By-law will be published in full
in next three issues of the Advance
and we will advise each property
owner to read and consieer it fairly
and thoroughly. In the meantime we
give the figures of the estimates sup-
plied by the Commissioners, which is
all our space will allow this week.

The D. M. Gordon Estate,
Miss Laura McGrew, a young
woman of Pine Bluffs, Wyoming, still
in her teens, who for the last two
years has taught a rural school fifteen
miles north of there, holds the record
for long distance riding. When her
present school year closes early in
June she will have ridden 10,800 miles,
using the same mount during all of the
time. Two years ago Miss McGrew
was employed to teach the school
fifteen miles north. There was no
convenient boarding place in the
vicinity of the school, so pressing her
horse into the service, she decided to
board at home and ride to and from
her school.

song. No wonder friend John and

Oxfords That Keep
Their Shape
In ordinary low-cut footwear
the part which looses shape
moat readily is the counter.
"INVICTUS" Oxfords are spe-
cially protected by a solid leath-
er counter, which holds the
shoes in shape.
Another feature of "IN'VIC-
TUS" Oxfords is the exact fit.
They hug the foot without
cramping, support the ankle
and give that feeling of comfort
so often lacking in a low-cut
shoe.
