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.

What might have proved a donble
drowning oecured here Sunday after-
noon. Miss Widmer of town, in com-
pany with Mr. John Elliott, son of the
late Dr. Elliott, was crossing the
the bridge by the headgates over the
trill race at the time. 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.
She was soon taken care of. Lxite

due to those who carne to the young

Permancy of Dragged Roads.
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.
