That town • over a year ago, atquired the plant froon a prisate oorapany and.the following is given as bhe result of ite operation by the mimicipality for the• first year. The following is taken from the, print- ed statementerecently issued by the council: The annual debenture of $1,734.90 ag4 been paid; the street lighting system was extendied by nine, extra lamps, at a cost of $549.- 20; permanent improvements were made at tlae,power house and dam at a coket of $1,189.33: All this was paid out of the profits and a small bal.- ance remains. The statement is a • moat satisfa.Ctory one. Not only has the annual payment been met, but the town is better off by the ekten- sion of the street lighting system, and -permanent improvements to the plant of $1,198.33. So far, municipal cennership in •Wingham has been a success, and that in the initial year. We expect even better results in the future.. • Branching Out.—Mr. R. N. Hays, on of Mr. T. E. Hays, of this town, who has held a respqnsible position with the Pilgrim Press Publishing Co., of Chicago, for some years, thas entered int o the publ,ishing business on his own accounte in that city.' Nelson's many old Seaforth friends will hope that he may be most sue- ceesful in his new venture. The Ad- vance, published in Chicago, makes the following complimentary refer- ence to Mr, Hays: "Mr. Robert N. Hays, who hat, been connected with the Pilgrim Press (Congregational Sueday sch(x)1 and Publishing So- oiety) for the past twelve years, has • resigned as manager of the retell department of the Chicago branch. Mr. Hays was tee two years and a half manager of the Congregational Book Store, and during that period increased the sales more than fifty per cent. Readers of The Advance are familiar with fhe 'Reminder' sales advertised by the Congregation- al Book Store during the past two years. Thesii sales were due to Mr. Hays' skill as a buyer and judge of book values, and they set a pace that the other denominational stores have since tried. to keep. Mr. Hive teee - tipe make them a success and, we are sure that all now feel .mere than repaid for the effortthey put forth. Mr. Binning, the architect, and. all who were working under his direction e a -re also deserving of their meed of praise, not only for the expedition which tbey displayed in getting the place -ready, but for the beauty, cosivenience and. excel- lence of bhe edifice which they build - ed. It is often difficult to get even a completely new ,building of this nature satisfactory in every respect, but to transform an antiquated ed- ifioa such as the old church was into a building of couvenienoe and beauty of •tbe nerest modern type and have vet, re- ee kty,V1: , r-ZA tSik tot tne eereatest tine instant* the beta tatri.#4 t. .4.11-rae toz ee le; eg. .:417 -,7*•• etwelesee,eee e4„ e.2nr- re tea To este -4w4bitatk, Norte Ono setae Si iitu elle F friends 410 -iii te bap wan the W.

Goingook. .—......-L----. _ Re -Opening Servicese-The re -open- ing servites in connection with the Presbyterian ohureh, Seaforth, were occad.ucted Last Sabbath by Rev. Dr. Milligan, pastor of Old St. Andrew's .ohureh, Toronto and Moderator of the General Assembly of the Pres- byterian church in Canada. The services- throughout were most ,in- ter log and instructive. The ser- ; mo were plain, practical, helpful, sohola ly and powerful expositions of the Scriptural passages selected as their basis. Dr. Milligan, al- though pastor of his present con- gregation for ' over a quarter of a century, still possesses all the vigor of delivery and freshemes of mind of his younger days, with the rich,- ness of study and. experience added. Ilie ted4eegations were delighted and. profited with his SerMODS GB Sunday. The church choir, under the leadership of .Miss Grace Mc- Faul, did their part well as they always do and their excellent render- ing of the varioue well chosen se- lections Was the admiration of the very large congreeations. The ca- pabilities of the eew church Avexe tested to t:he uttermoot. In the merning the church was crowded, but in the evening it was absolute- ly packed, the isles, passages ana every portion of available room be- ing occupied, While many had to stand during the entire seevice and some tad to go away being unable to get into the building. Dr. Mil- ligan warmly congratulated the eorAregation on the very handsome ehurch, saying that it was not onTe a credit to Seaforttla but would be a credit to. any congregation in the • large city- of TorOnto., He also remarked on the excellent ac- coustic properties of the building, and. he referred to the commodious and .well arranged lecture and Sab- bath school rooms.

To speak offtbanded, the four things at the fair that had impressed him most were the illuminations, the horse parade, the great 85,000 horse- power Westinghouse engines, and Helen Keller. Reducing' them down to two', the Inest manveilous man- lfestitations of power and genius, were the great engines at work and Helen Keller seeing the fair.
