Mrs. Scully anti daughter, Mis's Madeline, -and son, Master Teddy, and Mrs. Fisher of, Berlin were guests of the latter's sister„ Mrs. F. A. Edwards, over the week -end. Rev. Mr,. Macfarlane exchanged pul- pits Sunday with Rev. Mr. Smith of Mensal'. The latter is an excellent preacher, but the the congregation of St. Andrew's haven't yet heard any minister they, would rather listen to than their worthy pastor. The special Thanksgiving congrega- tional - tronan supper in St, Andrew's s chareh on Monday evening was a decided success. The basement of the church, where the supper was served, was tastefully decorated with fruits of field and garden, flowers and autumn leaves. The tables presented a most attractive appearance., leaden as they were with an abundance of good things to eat and daintily de- corated with fruit, flowers and trailing wines. When the supper had been thoroughly enjoyed the congre- gation gathered in the body of tine church and an interesting program was gone through. The pastor first explained why the gathering had been called and gave a brief history of the church, which was erected in 1902 under the pastorate of the Rev, John McNeil. When completed there was a debt of $2200 on Ole building. This debt has been reduced from time to time ani this year a special effort was made and the debt fully met by the free-will offer- ings of the people. This being so happy an occasion it was thought fit- ting that a special meeting of the congregation should lie Called to cel- ebrate it by the burning of the mort- gage. The pastor congratulated his people on the achievement and ex- pressed his deep thanlrfulness and pleasure in thus being able in future Lo worship iii a church free of debt. Ile then called .upon Mr, John',1'hid- don and Mr. T.- fiownette to Per- form alfa ceremony of burning the mortgage and at the conclusion the congregation ,joined heartily in the singing of the doxology. Mr,. John W'hiddon, representing the elders, Mr, John Reid, tho board of managers and lir. R. L. Richardson, the con- gregation, each gave expression to the satisfaction and pleasure felt on the occasion and encauraged the people to continue in tbe'r good work. A short program was then given, the musical part being fur- nished by, Misis Emma Peck, Messrs. R. Bayley, R. L. Richardson, W. Macdonald and the pastor, Rev, A. Macfarlane, Mrs: Jas. Ferguson pre- siding at the organ, Rev. J. Flam- ilton of Goderich and Rev. H. J. Condell and. Mr: James Young also made congratulatory speeches. A pleasant feature -of the gathering was the presentation to the pastor, it being the anniversary of his natal day, with a handsome birthday cake which was brought m with candles burning, The gift was gracefully re- ceived and was afterwards cut and. each one present presented with a piece. Mr. 14lacfarlane who is great- ly beloved by his people,.was also the recipient of many congratulations and good wishes and, of several pri- vate gifts. The singing of "Blest Be the Tie That Binds," brought to a close one of the happiest gatherings ever held in St. Andrew's church. Stanleg Township The home of Mrs. Samuel Johnston, Stanley, was the scene of a pretty wedding on Wednesday of last week at five o'clock when her daughter, Mamie, was united in marriage to lir.

The planking being rather rotten, the bridge over the race suddenly gave way, both young people baving been thrown into the water, which at that point is near - ten feet, deep. Mr. Elliot t reached the shore and ran for assistance, Miss . Walmer, in terrible Bright the while, hinging to a plank in the stream. A large crowd was soon on the scene, and 'in the meantime Robt. Lockridge, who lives near hy, secured a pike pole and wad- ed in to the young lady's` assistance. Getting hold ,of the plank, and with assistance of another, who plunged into the water, clothes and all, and got at t he far end„of the plank. he eucceected in drawing the young lady to shore in an exhausted condition.

At a'neeting in Ridgetown to dis- cues the question et road improve- ment, seventeen',farmers of the dis- trict announced TTheir liken tion of tie• ng the split-logdrag on the roads in front of their farms. It is unfortunate hat the spplendid; results to be obtain- ed from the use of the splitlog drag on earth, lightlystoned and graveled roads are not more generally b 1 SEND Jand appreciated by farmers. About four-fifths of :the country roads in Ontario are earth r oads, I n thewet seasons of Spring and Fall they be - .YOUR come= little better than bogs, and et• the beet are yearly rough and uneven. It is uite,true that the ill-effects L rifeets of ORDER IN accumulated water can be prevented only by a proper drainage, but the ruts and hollows that form capacious basins for the water can befilled in by dragging. When the road surface. is damp, and the earth easily scraped along, the drag will accomplish a sur- prisingly good leveling in a few hour's, and by occasional repetitions of the treatment a solid level surface, in so far as natural -elevation and other con- ditions will permit, can be obtained, The rural districts of Ontario are de- manding a enrich higher standard for their main roadways.

Thenernittncy of dragged road work in-ba8'weather, if it..has ..been ` done in proper er manner, is s strikfn 1Y indica ted in a recent issue of the Quincy, Ill., Herald refuting the of t -repeated cbar'g that dragged roads are good enough for summer, bat not so good at other times, "In the light of experience met with during the last few years it is hard to cunceive the road from the ferry landing at West Quincy to Tay lor, in anything but.the most wretch'- ed condition at the most present tine," says the Herald._ Then it declares that on the contrary the road for nine miles is as tine as rock and gravel roads of the com- munity, and in spite of a recent flood- ing from the Fabius River. It was put in condition eight days with the King drag, rind three were consumed in cutting away brush alongside the road. Opponents of the King drag have been put to rout. around Quincy, and the Herald concludes thus: 'The present condition of the road is just another proof of the efficiency of the King drag under all conditions." A Big Campaign. Another big Local Option campaign will be fought out at the trine of the next ntunrcipal elections, in January. Voting is likely to take place in over 70 municipalities, comprising 1 city 19 towns. 20 villages, and 34. townships For the most part, the conte-sts are in Western Ontario, Huron leading with ,nine contests. Among aha larger places to vote are Petefbot0, Lindsay, Oaelton, Place, Clinton, Osh- awa, Pembroke, Petrclea, tel Sarnia. Most of these places have voted be- fore, but in s, considerable number the question is now before the elect- ors for the first time. The striking feature of the fight is the fewness of repeal contests: Last year of 178 places where repeal ciOutests were pos- sible, voting only took place in 15, and in none of these the attempt to repeal was seicesafnl, This year there are 240 possible re• peal contests, but it is not likely that in 10% of these, will the issue- be, brought before the elector s, Repeal contests however, will be brought on in a number ol'.places. Amongst these being the towns of Galt, Orangeville, and Strathroy. The contest will likely be a hot one, and profiting by experience gained in former contests, the forces on either side will be better' organized than ever before, Licence Reduction campaigns will also be bought on in Windsor, and some other places. • Municipal Stastistics.
