SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS. —The campaign in the State of Maine against Prohibition seems to have been lively and the vote very close; so close that at one time, is was reported that the "wets" had won. The latest anthentic reports, however, are to the effect that Maine remains under Prohibition. „ « « —Canada is the only country in the world in which° thousands of unem- ployed are not hunting for work, and in some cases for bread. Hard times have been prevalent in the States since 1907, and are getting more so every day. The arguinent, "Let Well enough alone" is in this case a sound one. For a people who are pros- perous, individually and collectively, as Canadians are, to join forces with a people twelve times as numerous, who are oppressed with hard times, trusts, lock -outs and the thousands upon thousands of unemployed, would be the height of folly, to say the, least. « « « —The Advance is printed Wedues- daysafternoon, and by the time it is in the hands of many of its readers in the rural sections, the ballots will have been cast and 'the great issue that has been before the electors, will bodecided, For this reason, and from the fact that the electors gave no doubt already made up their minds how they will vote, we make our compaign matter this week light and brief. When it is considered that the house discussed reciprocity, pro and con, for six months and that for the past six weeks it has been the domi- nant theme all over Canada, it is reasonable to assume that the elec- torate are pretty well advised on the question, especially if the tons of cam- paign literature sent out by both sides have not been ignored. So far as the Advance is concerned, the editor has endeavored to fight fair, be sincere, and avoid personalities. Whatever our readers may think, the editor has no regrets, nothing to retract, and bears ill no matter what ill w to none, the final results may be. If Recipro- city becomes a fact and does all that its friends claim for it, then all will share in its benefits. On the other hand, if it is defeated, Canada has escaped the trap we honestly believe was laid for her, and no true citizen will have cause to regret in the years to come. Canada is a great country; she has wonderful resources, and a great future awaits her. May she retain her favorable relations with the Old Land, develop her latent possi- bilities and prosper. CHURCH REOPENING. aura 'Pews Last Sunday wasC om union day in St. Paul's. Clifford Presbyterian congregation have extended a call to Rev. Mr. Lemon of Owen Sound, Rev. F. K. Hughes of Millbank will be the preacher in St. Paul's. Church next Sunday. Rev. E. H. Croly goes to Millbank. Next Sunday Mr. Frank Hill as- sumes the leadership of the. choir of the Methodist Church. At the even- ing service the pastor preaches a special sermon to students. Rev. Jas. Livingstone, Methodist pastor at Mitchell andwell known in Wingham, was suddenly taken ill while preaching in Windsor a few weeks ago, and is still lying ill in that town. On Tuesday, August 29th, the Rev. S. H. Moyer, late of St. Helens and Ashfield, was inducted into the pas- torate of Conn and Woodland by the Presbytery of Saugeen. He enters his new charge with bright prospects. Next Sunday will be Rally day in Wingham Methodist Sunday School, and the session of --the School will be held in the auditorium. An interest- ing program is being prepared, and a grand rally of all the classes is expect- ed to begin the fall campaign of work, The Methodist church at Mitchell has extended an unanimous invitation to Rev. J. W. Baird, B. A., of Hyatt Avenue, to succeed Rev, J. Living- stone, at the expiration of his pastoral term in June next. Mr. Baird has accepted, subject to the approval of the stationing committee. A meeting was held recently by the Presbyterian congregations of Dun- gannon and. Port Albert for the pur- pose of extending a call to a minister. The choice of the congregations fell on Rev. R. M. McEachren of Dover Centre, in the P resb ter of Chatham, , and a hearty call is being prepared for him. Mr. McEachern taught school in Lucknow at one time, The induction will probably take place about the end of September. At the General Synod held recent- ly, the following was recorded :— "The general Synod places on record its earnest desire for Christian union, and as an end thereto recommends the clergy and laity to avail themselves of every opportunity of Christian co- operation, which does not involve a sacrifice of church principles. And that the clergy seek opportunity to confer with their brethren of other communions concerning the principles of church union," Reopening services of Wingham Methodist Church were held on Sun- day last. Nine years ago the church was built, and as it bas been free of debt for several years, the congrega- tion decided that the time had come for its renovation and "decoration. Accordingly active committees were appointed. One committee had charge of the heating, and new Kelsey fur- naces were installed at a cost of $550. The decoration committee let the con- tract for the work of beautifying the church to Mr. Walthew of St. Thomas, and the result is most satisfactory. Additions were made to the lighting and now the church is one of the prettiest in the London Conference. Reopening sermons were preached on Sunday last by the venerable Superintendent, Rev. Dr. Carman. Though ho has been in the active ministry for over half a century, Dr. Carman has retained his mental vigor to a remarkable degree, and still occupies a prominent position in the public and Church life of Canada. In the morning, he spoke on the unity and interdependence of the old and new Testaments, showing the relation of both to the system of Christianity. In the evening, he delivered an ex- cellent discourse from the words— "Then said Jesus unto his disciples that believed on him, if ye continue in my words, ye shall be my disciples indeed, and ye shall know the Truth, and the truth shall snake you free,' rman'a semons w Dr. Ca r were listened to with much interest and profit. On Monday evening, the Ladies' Aid society served a harvest Home tea in the school -room of the Church, setting (as they always do) most excellent supply of edibles before their visitors. After the tea, Rev. Dr. Rutledge occupied the chair. Ad- dreeses were given by Rev. G. V. Collins of the Baptist Church and Rev. E, 1`f. Croly of St. Paul's. Mies Griffin, who kindly assisted the choir on Sunday, gave two fine solos; Mies Griffin and Mr, Frank Hill, a duett, and Meyers. W. IL Willie, G, Willis, • F. J. Hill and A. 11. Wilford, a quartette. Marty complimentary re- tnarke were passed regarding the appearance of the beautified addl. tertius. Harvest Thanksgiving and Anni- versary services will be held in St. Paul's Church on Sunday and Mon- day, Oct. 1st and 2nd. In 1893, eighteen years ago, St. Paul's Church was opened by the late Bishop Bald win, and the anniversary services are expected to be of special interest. On Sunday, October 1st, Rev. H. M. LangFord of Listowel will be the preacher, and on the Monday evening following, the Harvest Supper will be held. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday next, September 23, 21 and 25, the Salvation Army will hold their annual Harvest Festival services. Sunday night's meeting will take the form of a farewell gathering, for diving' the who Capt. Gillingham, ��ho has laboeed faithfully here for the past six months, will say goodbye, prior to proceeding to a new field. All are invited to these services ; the barracks will be tastefully decorated and speci- al music will be a feature of the meet- ings. Oa Monday at 8 p.m., a musical meeting will be held in connection with Harvest Festival, when an at- tractive program of music will be rendered. At close of this meeting, the Harvest Festival produce will be sold. Bonny Parntraeuit Tender for booth privilege at Wingham. Fair on Sept. 28th, Will be received up to Snd' of Sept.—M. B.

The polling places and deputy - returning officers for the 21st are :— Ward 1, Mr. Haugh'a shop, A. W. Webster ; Ward 2, Mr. Gannett's shop, B. Jenkins ; Ward 3, Town Hall, Peter Deans ; Ward 4, J. Ritchie's, John Elder; Ward 5, Albert Bell's, Frank Angus. , A Good Sign. Town taxes pat§ on or before Sep- tember 15th wer8 discounted 14 per cent.,and the amount in bythat paid date indicates prosperity. The total amount on the roll is $23.000.00 and the amount paid in on or before Sep- tember 15, was $7,400 00. This is con- sidered an eztcellent showing. Taxes now paid on or before October 15th will be reduced by one per cent. Court Of Revision. The Judge's Court of Revision on the voters' list of Wingham will be held on Monday, October 2nd, in the Town Hall, at 12 o'clock noon. There are 123 appeals ; 68 by the Liberals, and 56 by the Conservatives. It looks as if the Judge would have a good half day's work before him. A Noteworthy Wheat Yield.. Frank Lawrie, owner of lot 31, con. 5, Elderslie, has a wonderfully fine farm. It grows great crops. Bob, McTavish was threshing at Mr. Law- rie's a few days ago and threshed 8 bushels of fall wheat to the minute for 5 minutes. That was long enough to show the splendid yield of Lawrie's Red Clawson wheat, reaped from an ordinary summer fallow. — [Ohesley Enterprise. Aged Woman Falls. The following from London Free Press, refers to a former resident of Wingham :—Mrs. W. Brockenshire, an . aged lady, who resides at 320 Dundas street, was found lying at the bottom of the stairs at her home Saturday. When found she was hn- conscious and black in the face, as though she had suffered from a fit. After an examination by Dr. Camp- bell, who was summoned, it was dis- covered that the woman's leg was fractured. He ordered her taken to Victoria Hospital in the public ambul- ance. Mrs. Brockenshire is the moth- er of Mrs. Thos. Marks, wife of the well known theatrical man. Make Your Best Effort. There is only one week now until the Fall Fair. The directors are doing their best to have asuccessful Fair, and it now rests with the exhibitot"to do all in their power to assist in one of the best displays of farm produce p +ssible. The concert in the evening of the 29th should be kept in mind. With Harry Bennett and Bert Har- vey as comedians, Miss O'Neil as en- tertainer and the Pipe Band, there should be a full program of interest to all. See advt. on page 5. The plan of seats opens at McKibbon's drug store, on Fridayof this 2 p.m. week, at Those who are wise will secure their seats in good time; as there is sure to be a crowded audience. Auto Accident. The Clinton News R cord reports the following:—Mr, and Mrs. Shilling - ton were married in Wingham on Tuesday and started on their honey- moon trip by auto, but when about three miles north of Clinton by the pitching of the oar Mrs. Shillington was thrown forward with such vie- ienoe that a very nasty cut over the nose, so bad, indeed, that the surgeon who was called in to dress the wound thought at first that it was broken. ,kir. and Mre, Shillington continued on their journey that evening to Windsor, *here they will reside, but made the remainder of the journey by trtdn. Death Of Former Resident. A former resident of Wingham died in Merrickville on Sept. 3rd, in the Person of Mr. William Edwards. De- ceased had been ailing for some time, but the immediate cause of his death was an attack of hemorrhage of the stomach. Deceased resided in Wing - ham for about one year, and during that time made a host of friends, who have very pleasant recollections of his .genial manner and his bright christian testimony. For many years he was a consistent member of the Methodist Church. His wife, who survives him, is a sister of Mrs. Wm. Wellwood of town. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards remov- ed to Merrickville from Wingham about four years ago. Deceased was in his 74th year. Which Way Shall We Take As remarked in another -column, some of our readers will not receive the Advance of the week until the vote has decided the great issue before the people. Many however will, and to them, we address a closing word. Never before was so momentous an issue pressed upon the Canadian peo- ple. The Liberal party as a whole is not to blame for the crisis. They did not ask for Reciprocity; Lloyd Harris, Liberal M, P'., in declining re -nomin- ation, declared that. if the question had been submitted to a caucus of the Liberal members of Parliament, 90 per cent. would have voted against it. The largo number of Liberals, who have declared openly their opposition to the pact, not only on economic grounds, but for national and patriotic reasons also, is additional evidence. Had Canada not been prosperous, there might have been some reason for the very radical change in her policy. As it is, there is no valid rea- son, except the exigencies of a Gov- ernment, that has already, lost to a certain extent the confidence of the electorate. The chief agent on the Canadian side in securing this agree- ment was Mr. Fielding. Has his judgment been correct in the past ; we think not—let us see. Twenty-five years ago, Mr. Fielding believed that the maritime provinces should secede from the Dominion. Was his judgment sane then? Later, both Fielding and Paterson were .loud advocates of unrestricted recipro- city and discrimination against the mother -land. Would that have been wise ? Thousands of Liberals joined with Conservatives in saying "No." Eight years ago, Mr. Fielding an- nounced that the expenditure on the Grand Trunk Pacific would not ex- ceed 51 millions ; it is now conceded that it will be over 200 millions. Was his judgment sound in that case? Later (although warned that the pro- moters were unreliable) he issued a charter to the Farmers' Bank, making possible the loss of thousands of dol- lars to Huron county depositors, Death Of Mrs. McCallum. This week we 'have to record the death of Mrs. James McCalluni of East Wawanosh, who passed the bounds of time on Thursday last. Her maiden naive was Sarah McLean, and she was born in the township of Erin, Wellington county, December 20, 1820. On November 11, 1880, she was united in marriage to the late James McCallum, who passed away about three yearn ago. Soon after their marriage, they moved to East Wawanosh, where both Mr. and Mrs. McCallum enjoyed the confidence and esteem of the bommunity. Mrs. Mc- Callum was a member of the Preity- terian Church and took an active part in Ohurch work. She had been in poor health for a long time, several alight attaeks of paralyefs weakening the physical frame. The fatal stroke came on Wednesday, and she passed away a few hours later. Four sons, Duncan, James, John and Finlay, and two daughters, Mrs. Harvey Watson and Agnes, mourn the lost of a loving mother. The funeral on Monday' was largely attended, Is it safe, in view of these mistakes, to take Mr. Fielding as our guide in the present case. Thousands of voters will say "No," Then there is the blatant, almost threatening aspect, of the American press and many of the leading poli- ticians, declaring that Reciprocity is the "thin end of the wedge," the "first step towards annexation." The insulting declarations of Americans along this line, ought to settle the question with any loyal Canadian, In conclusion, let every elector as he takes his ballot in hand do his duty to his home -land, and resist even the semblance of a movement that may end in theken n a w a i of British g con- nection. That Reciprocity will finan- cially benefit Canada has not yet been proven, as is evident by the Liberal change of front. In the early part of the campaign, the whole argument was—"The farmer will get higher prices." When that was found un- safe ground, then "Cheaper prices to the consumer" was tacked on. As both could not result, one argument upsets the other. The result will be awaited with interest, not only by Canadians, but by the world at large. And now, let us say in conclusion, if during the heated campaign words have been uttered that have wounded, or if social relations have been sunder- ed, or in any way whatever amity or kindly feeling bean been disturbed, let all be forgotten, and the usual kindli- neer and social intercourse for which the citizens of Wingham are noted, again prevail, Expert Judges For Fair, The following are the names of the expert judges secured for Wingham Fall Fair :--Light horses, 0, D. Wooley of Port Perry; Heavy horses, G. 1?. Litckner of Berlin ; Beef cattle and sheep, A, 0, Crawford of Fern- bank ; Dairy cattle and swine, Wm.

The concert held in the Town Hall on Tuesday evening under the aus- pices of the Young Ladies' Sodality of the church of the Sacred Heart, was attended by a large autience, Mr. Fox fully sustained his high reputa- tion as a high class violinist. Miss Davis proved an excellent accompan- ist, and pleased the audience with her vocal selections. Miss LaDell delight- ed the audience as an entertainer. We understand that the concert was very successful from a financial stand- point. Missionaries in Danger. There is danger threatening the Methodist missionaries on far inland fields in China. They have been shut up in Chentu, and later reports state that Chentu has been entered and two of the missionaries killed, Mise Wellwood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Wellwood of Wingham, and Dr. Wilford, son of Mrs. Wilford of Wingham, are among the number,. and naturally their relatives and friends were anxious as to their safety. Later news states that al- though Chentu has been captured by the rebels, the missionaries are all safe. L. Improvements And Labor. - The Farmer's Advocate remarks that all the modern improvements on threshing machines do not seem to shorten the dinner table very much. Indeed, but for a reductiou of hands in the straw mow, it works the other way. Three men used to be sufficient to handle an outfit, but now that we have traction engines, self -feeders and blowers, some threshers carry a gang of four—one to look after the engine, another for the separator, one to take care of the blower, and fourth to draw water, etc. It seems the more appli- ances we •add, the more men are re- quired to look after them. prone Saskatchewan. The The Advance has a letter from W. W. Caseation of Fillmore, Sask., enclosing his subscribtlon for the Advatioe. Ile writes that they had frost and black rust on the wheat, but that it will yield twenty buehele to the acre alt through the Saskatche- wan. With regard to political mat- ter., he says the Conservatives will gain probably three Beate from the Government. The defeat of Mr. Tur- rift in Asrinibota is confidently ex- pected. To Manufacture Here. Efforts are being made to secure sufficient capital to manufacture in Wingham, one machine each of the pattern of Mr. McOloy's Corn loader, and his Manure loader and spreader. If sufficient can be obtained, and we think it will, trial machines will be built. Mr. .McCloy feels confident that they will prove a success. They are certainly ingeniously contrived and we see no reason why they should not perform the work expected of them by the inventor. If they prove a success it will mean another factory for Wingham. The latest report is to the effect that the capital needed for trial machines is in sight. CEDAR RAILS WANTED.—Apply to The Western Foundry Co., Limited. ".A Dollar Saved is a Dollar earned."

He left on Friday morning to commence work, and will leave his family here for the pre- sent. The Mitchell Advocate says :—"The fight in South Perth, so far, has been the cleanest on record. No person- alities have been indulged in, either by the press or speakers. This is as it should be." When times are hard and the in- come small, And no longer the feast is spread, And around about you the shadows fall, That mark how the day has sped ; When out of your grasp slips many a Add0 sweetest of dreams depart, And you lose your hold of treasures untold. Oh don't lose heart. Though troubles come like a demon crew, Your little craft to o'erwhelm, helm Though worn and spent with the daily strife, Let faith stand firm at the helm ; And though dark the sky and cold the breeze, Still bravely perform your part, For you'll stem the tide and in safety ride, If you don't lose heart, The loss of fortune and of friends 'Tie every one's lot to bear, And loss of health may its burden add To the weight of sorrow and care ; But though you fall from your height and lose Your peace in the bury mart, There's a chance for you to strike out anew If you don't lose heart, The adverse winds and the troubled waves Our courage and strength will test, And out of the bitter hes of grief Are the healing julces pressed ; Andjoy y will come to our hearth and d All sorrowingguests depart, As euro as te light succeeds the night-� Then why lose heart.

Although approaching his 91st birth- day, he is as hale and hearty as many men of much younger years, and says he expects to reach the hundred mark." A correspondent of the Free Press writes from Ailsa Craig as follows : y P ' Mayor S otton of Wingham nt;ham Proved an able orator, and gave out some "hot stun." He urged the electors not to vote for party, but to consider the question from a national aspect. "If we were all farmers," he pointed out, "we would have to live on grass." Mr. Spotton discussed reciprocity thoroughly, and made a logical argu- ment against it, concluding amidst hearty cheers. Prices go to pieces, but quality re- mains firm at our Boot and Shoe sale, --W. J. Greer. Wm. Mitchell of Turnberry has word from his eon at Mossbank, Sask. Ile and his bride arrived safely at their destination. He reports having a granary that will hold 2000 bushels, but bad to secure lumber and build an addition to hold their season's grain, There is an old saying—that "a than cannot get married and do well in one year." Wilt was recently wedded, and with 2000 bushels of wheat, and building bigger granary. he mutt be doing well. The Advance has received a copy of the first issue of the Chilliwack Free Press, published by Chas. Bar- ber, a graduate of this office and son of Chas. Barber of town. It is a clean, bright looking paper, and advocates the Liberal' cause. It starts out with a good advertising patronage. Chilli- wack is said to be a fruitful valley, and in its first•issue; fruit has fallen to the Free Press in a good big lump of Government advertising. The Grand Trunk Railway System has in course of construction at the Tureos Works of Canada Car and Foundry Co., 1000 steel underframe box cars ; delivery will be commenced about October the let, and the whole consignment will be completed this year.
