Shortly after three o'clock Sunday morning fire was discovered sweeping through the old woollen mill. Although the brigade was on hand quickly, the flames had a big start, and little could be done to check them. The building burned to the ground. The Loss will be quite heavy, as the blaze was the third in the building inside of a year. The factory has not been in operation for several years. It was built 26 years ago by R. Forsyth, who, atfer conduct- ing it for some years, rented it to Mr. P. Purvis, who had it until the factory closed. CULROSS. There died in San Diego, Cal. after a lingering illness, an old resident of Cul- ross in the person of Mrs. John Johnston. She was Mary McAllister, daughter of the late Hugh and Mary McAllister of the 4th con. and sister of Mrs. Andrew Armstrong of the 2nd con. She leaves a family of five children to mourn her loss, her husband having predeceased her in January last. She lived for a number of years in Montana but moved to California about nine years ago to get the benefit of a change of climate in her failing health, but passed away on the 11th of November. CLINTON. As it was the third offence of selling liquor on a recent Sunday, Reuben Gra- ham of the Graham House, Clinton, was Saturday fined by Police Magis- trate Andrews $200 and g$28.23 costs. Inspector Johnson was assisted by Crown Attorney Seager, K.C., and Gra- ham was represented by Charles Gar - row of Goderich. J. J. McCaughey of the Commercial Hotel was also fined re- cently $50 and costs for selling on Sun- day, and J. H. Ran of Zurich $100 and costs on a similar charge. WROX ETER The funeral of the late Thos. Pope, whose death occurred in Shakespeare on Saturday, Nov. 16th, took place from the residence of his son, Donald Pope, on Wednesday afternoon, of last week, to the Wroxeter cemetery, service be- ing conducted by the Rev. Mr. Wesley. Mr. Pope was in his ninety-fourth year and had been gradually failing for some time, so that his death was not unex- pected. He was a resident of Turn - berry for a number of years, until the death of his wife, when he made his home with his son here, until about 2 years ago, when he went to live with a daughter in Shakespeare. Mr. Pope was a quiet man of a kindly disposition and sympathy is extended to the sur- viving family in their bereavement. MORRIS. Mr. W. J. Henderson, of the Bluevale road, near Wingham, has been request- ed by a number of ratepayers to seek election of Councillor for next year and Mr. Henderson has decided to accept nomination and will be pleased to receive the support of the ratepayers. A party of five hunters were in Parry Sound district, 27 miles North of Sund- ridge for two weeks and enjoyed a fine time. They were Fraser Embury and Robert Nichol, of Morris; Bert. Allan and G. Errington, of Harlock; and Jno. Melville, of Londesboro. Each secured his quota of venison, landing some fine deer. The huntsman say they had a No. 1 time. D. M. McCall, of Edmonton, spent, a few days at the parental home, 8th line, and calling on other relatives and old friends. He came East with his sister, Miss Annie, who was in the West and whose health has not been good owing to nervous exhaustion. Miss McCall will take a course of treat- ment at the Guelph sanitarium and many friends wish her speedy recovery. Mr. McCall is greatly° taken up with Edmonton and looks as if it agreed with him. GREY. We are sorry to hear that Lachlan McNeil, 4th con., an old and well known residhnt, is not having very good health of late but we hope he will soon be restored. Mr. McNeil has been a very active man for his years. The 100 acre farm of the late Peter McNeil, being lot 23, con. 13, has been sold by the executors, to Wilson Evans, 12th con., for the sum of $4,660. It is an excellent farm. The purchase will give Mr. Evans 225 acres and we trust he may do well with his accumulating properties. Thursday, Nov. 21st, there passed away at Ripley one of the pioneers of that locality in the person of Donald McLeod, aged 79 years. Deceased had been in failing health for some time. He is survived by his wife and an adult family. For many years he was a member of the Presbyterian church and enjoyed the esteem of the com- munity. Mr. McLeod was a relative to Mrs. E. Dickson, llth con., 'Grey township, and she and her son, James attended the funeral. He came from Aachen, Scotland, when a boy, and, although not one of the first settlers of Huron Township, Druce Co., 'came when it was still a wilderness, and help- ed in clearing the dense forest to make a home for his family. KT. AvoirrsTr003 A highly respected resident in the person of Mrs. Welsh passed peace- fully away at 3 o'clock Tuesday morn- ing, Oct. 29th. The deceased who had reached the age of 85 years passed away from weakness of the heart and a natural breakdown. The late Mrs. Walsh came to this country from Kil- dare, and at the early age of twenty years, married Thomas Walsh who pre- deceased her 28 years ago. They settled on a farm near St. Augustine, endur- ing many of the hardships of the pioneer days. Sne was a staunch member of the Roman Catholic church and always attended when health permitted. She received the last rites of the church at the hands of her pastor, Rev. Fr. Dean. She approached the end with christian patience and resignation. Five sons and two daughters survive namely : Thomas and Patrick on the homestead ; John of St. Augustine; William and James of Enderlin, N. D.; Mrs. Wm. Leddy of Verdun, Man.; and Mrs Ed. Hayes of Niagara, Wis. They mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate mother and a true friend to all she came in contact with. wtilz•cu�vxva. Communion service was held in the Presbyterian chuuch on Sunday last, and Rev. Mr. McEachern preached his farewell. Many will regret to hear of the death of Miss Blanche Irene Holmes, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph G. Holmes, of Kinloss, in her 15th year. The deceased young lady was operated on for appendicitis a few weeks ago and was making very satisfactory re- covery when other troubles set in. To the bereaved family will be extended the sympathy of the community. Tho funeral took place Tuesday afternoon to Wingham cemetery. On Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 12, the monthly meeting of the Women's Mis- sionary Society was held in the Pres- byterian church here. At the close of the meeting Mrs. (Rev.) McEachern, who, during the past three years, has been the efficient President of this Branch of the. Society, was presented with a beautiful cut -glass fruit bowl. Rev. Mr. McEachern, who recently re- signed as pastor here, was presented with �a handsome gold -mounted um- brella. Mr. and Mrs. McEachern in- tend leaving for Toronto the latter end of November. We regret their de- parture from our midst, Their united efforts have always been for the uplift- ing of the community, both socially and spiritually. We wish them prosperity in the future. (>LENA2 NAN Mr. Wm.Mitchell has let the contract of cutting about four hundred cords of wood to Mr. Lesly Bryce and Mr Alex. McNeven. Mrs.Thos. Aitken has been visiting with Miss Rome of Teeswater for the past week. Mr.Robt. Muir had a valuable cow struck by the C. P. R. passenger train on Friday last. The animal is in a very critical condition having one of its limbs broken. Rev. W. J. West, and Mr. Shaw of Bluevale, conducted a well attended local option meeting in the school house here on Friday evening last. Miss M. Stewart of Toronto is spend- ing a few days with her cousin Mr Jas. Scott. Many farmers in this section were very successful in growing corn this year, especially Mr. David Eadie, who has corn to give away. Mr. John Weir has sold fine 100 acre farm to Mr. Andrew McKague. The new proprietor will get possession on the 1st of March, and will use it for a grass farm. The post -office here has again chang- ed hands. Mrs. John Bell the former owner has disposed of the property to the Misses' Fortune's. They will get possession in the near future. Mrs. Colin Eadie is making quite a visit in the West. We hope when Mr. Eadie returns that his health will be greatly improved. Joe Main and Ed. Thackeray, two well-known men of this district, who have been busily engaged in the con- struction of a C. P. R. telegraph line here, left on Thursday last for Mon- treal . Their smiling faces are much missed around the Glen. Asthmas.

This gathering which consti- tuted the third general convention of the National Live Stock Association spent two days each of three busy seti- sions upon its program which included reviews of the condition of the live stock industry prevailing in the respec- tive provinces, interprovincial trade in pure bred live stock, the beef cattle in- dustry in the east and west, the dairy cattle industry, the developement of the sheep and swine industries, the market for Canadian horses, transportation of live stock, stallion legislation, the chill- ed meat trade, bovine tubercolosis, and other business. A full report of the addresses and discussions that took place has been printed for the information of persons interested in the live stock or in fact the general agricul- tural welfare of the Dominion. Among many other striking things it was brought out that our export cattle trade is rapidly approaching its vanishing point, that South American tinned beef is being used all the way across the Dominion, that we are exporting very little mutton and importing a great deal, while millions of pounds of pork are each year imported into Canada. This report which constitutes a book of 130 pages emboddies a fairly com- plete review of the live stock situation in Canada and offers many wise sug- gestions for its much needed improve- ment. The distribution of this work is in the hands of the Publications Branch of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa to whom applications for copies should be sent RUINED ROADS The Weekly Sun in describing the injury that autos are to roads has this to say.—"A few weeks ago automobile races were held on the track of the Can- adian National Exhibition. Manager Orr now reports that these races have completely ruined the track and no more racing can be permitted." The exhibition tracks, it is stated by way of explanation, are simply "made up roads." They are not on a concrete base, but merely gravelled over a stone bot- tom. In other words they are precise- ly the same sort of roads that one finds in the best rural highways of the pro- vince. Still some of these country roadways are subjected in the height of summer to trestment little less severe than that under which the exhibition track has broken down. It is true cars are seldom run at 70 or 90 miles on ru- ral highways but 60 miles is not un- common and 40 miles an hour is a fre- quent occurrence. And yet farmers living along these lines of motor tra- vel are expected to go on uncomplain edly keeping the highway in repair. To talk of taxing owners of autos for this purpose is futile. If the cars are taxed annually to the extent of their total value, the sum so raised would not more than make good the damage caused on roads extensively used by auto owners. A Healthy Feature. Winnipeg Free Press. It looks at present, as if the British Liberals were prepared to wage their next big fight on the principle of secur- ing the land for the common people. Significantremarksby cabinet ministers and aggressive campaigns by Liberal candidates in recent by elections almost justify the assumption that the taxation of land values is to be incorporated in the Liberal party's platform.... After all, the proposition that the land be- longs to all the people is, morally, ele- mentary. The trouble is that private property in land has become vastly complicated affair and the restoration the land to the people a most difficult problem. Vested interests of all kinds have been created. In view of these difficulties it is doubtful if a fairer and more practical method of land nation - exists than the gradual extension of principles of the land tax. In Canada a healthy feature of a land situation which has some unhealthiness in it, is the fact that such a gradual extension is actually in process, especially in western Canada. When our last acre is under cultivation, which one day it inevitably will be, however far off that day may be, our economic troubles, or at any rate adjustments, will really be- gin. If when that day arrives, the charge for the use of the land goes wholly, or in large part, to the state through the method of land value taxa- tion, we shall be spared much of the heart-searching that is attending the readjustment process in older countries. Sir Edward ('louston, banker and fin- ancier, died suddenly in Montreal. The C. P. R. freight sheds at Pres- cott, the largest west of Montreal, were destroyed by fire, with a large quantity of freight, 200 tons of coal, and the offices. Total loss estimated at $250,- 000. ->✓ •0♦♦4444♦14,44444444$6♦44$44♦4♦♦$•4♦4♦♦4♦6♦6♦44444.4i- The Leading Storel ♦ a 'a v 0 6 9 6 0 4 ct 6 • v 4 0 • a 6 • 0 2 v v 0 6 d a 6 • O 9 9 0 9 0 • ♦ H1E.Isard&, CON I ♦ ♦ "Our System" isthe ; ♦ Small Profit Quick Return System. ♦ 6R[AI OP COATS 6 a ♦ ♦ Q 4 4 ♦. ♦ 0 Women's, Misses a n d 2 Children's Winter Coats sell- °e ing at reduced prices, • EXCEPTIONAL VALUE at $7.95—Plain Tailored w Coats of good quality Kersey Cloth in Black, Navy, 9 a Grey and Green, full length, they go at $7,95 2 a 4 .• c • a 0 • e a a a 0 0 4 0 • v 0 is • 0 4 0 b ♦ d 006 0 a 0 9 9 a • 0 0 4 464.444444404,44044-41,40 440 SPECIALLY REDUCED FOR QUICK SELLING $4.50—splendid Coat for girls from six to : twelve years; made of plain cloth and fancy tweed, °o a good serviceable coat, redueed to $4.5o. e • SPLENDID VALUE AT $10.00—A smart design in ♦° Women's Coats, plain cloth or fancy tweed, well °•♦ tailored, lined in waists and sleeves.

A commercial traveller at Hensall re- cently offered to bet $25 that during the coming winter there would not be a week of continuous sleighing. He based his estimate on the condition of the fur - bearing animals and the scarcity of nuts. Dr. Varden, Galt's weather prophet, predicts an open winter very little snow in this part of Ontario, and he adds that farmers will be able to plow every month except January. And here is an another:—Col. Rorke of Thornbury showed a reporter recent- ly through his garden where ripe rasp- berries, blooming sweet peas, etc. , in everything just as green and fresh as they would be in a summer month, prompted our question:—"And what would you take this to mean?" said the press reporter. After carefully weigh- ing his words Mr. Rorke replied, "I may be wrong, but I look for a very little winter. You can easily see tbat not a shrub in the garden is prepared for winter, and that is what makes me believe we will have another such win- ter as that of 1875, whenitwaspossible to plow every month in the year. GORRI%. There passed away on Sunday even- ing, Nov. 17th, another of our old and esteemed citizens, in the person of Mr. Jos. Ortman, at the good old age of 82 years, eight months and four days. The deceased gentleman was born in Merk- linburg, Germany. At the age of 29 years he married, shortly afterwards coming to Canada and settling near Guelph. He then moved to Carrick where he hewed out a home for him- self and family, and he continued to live there up to fifteen years ago when he retired and came to make his home with his daughter, Mrs. Rich, McGrath, his wife having died some years ago. He was an honest, upright man, and a faithful member of the Lutherian Church. He had been in declining health for some time past, and for the past fif- teen years has been totally blind. The funeral took place on Tuesday from the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Richard McGrath, to the Lutherian cemetery. 2nd con., Carrick, where interment took place. The service at the house was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Kinder, and at the grave by the Rev. Mr. Brauer, of Normanby, pastor of the Lutherian Church. John Connell, St. Thomas, and Chas. Ryckman, London, were killed in a ra dial railway collision near London. While it is stated that less than half a hundred cases of divorce will come be- fore the Canadian Parliament this ses- sion, it mustnot be forgotten that many Canadians settle their matrimonial troubles on the other side of the line. Between 1887 and 19;16 there were 455 Canadian cases a year in the United States, or an aggregate of 8,645.—Ot- tawa Citizen. Fall Term From Jen, 6th, SeTRATrORL1. ssefT.
