STARTLING ANNOIfl C1 'rENT.
Perhaps the most startlirt ,rseeunce-
ment of modern times is the etatenrent
that the serial rights of "The Mgr:
front Glengarry" have been sold to the
publishers of the Family herald and
Weekly Star, Montreal, and that it
will be immediately commenced in se-
rial form in that wonderful paper, As
may be imagined, the price paid is
large, for the story, "The Man from
Glengarry," fa undoubtedly the best
story of the year. Every one I:hould
read it, It is cleverly eonetrnc•ted and
beautifully written, No man or ran -
then in this country will now want to
a.tiniit that he or she has failed to read
Welt ()orator's great book, for the
Fatrniy herald is regnlarly taken ie
upwards of one hundred thousand
homes. and it has secured the prize,
for "The Man from Glengarry" is a
prize indeed and a rich one.

Hay grown in Canada is, accord-
ing to the Canadian Grocer, the best
fodder received in South Africa. The
New Zealand hay is like straw, and is
fed only to oxen and mules. The hay
from Argentine is all from alfalfa
grass, and the horses will not eat it.
The same kind of hay comes from the
United States. On account of all this,
it is predicted that the British Govern-
ment will have to bring all their hay
required for South Africa from the
Dominion.

At the approaching session of the
Legislature, a company will ask for in-

Huron and Bruce Reilway Company.
They propose to construct a road from
Wiarton, on the Georgian Bay, to
Goderieh, on Lake Huron, passing
through or near Kincardine and South-
ampton. The road, it is said, will be
built With Clergue money. Power is
asked to construct and operate tele-,
graph and telephone lines.

More Bacteria.
The latest germ to be discovered is
that of fatigue. A French hysician
says that some of us are born with it,
in the system, which explains why
many persons so constantly complain
of fatigue even when they have done
nothing to make them tired. Lazy
people, it seems, cannot help it ; their
systems are in the possession of the
newly -discovered bacteria, If this be
true, the statement that some people
are ''born tired" ie at last explained.
Municipal Ownership.
Here is an illustration of the success
of Municipal Ownership : Neepawa,
Man., a town notaso large as Walker-
ton, has had upwards of a year's expe-
rience in the ownership and operation
of a lighting plant. and telephone ser-
vice by the municipality. It has 1,400
incandescent lights installed and 150
street lights, and has 129 telephones.
The cost of operation for somewhat
more than a year has been $5,776.36,
and the receipts have amounted to $7,-
801.73, sliowing a total gain of $2,025.-
30. The service is said to be excellent
as well as cheap and profitable.

Brought Them Back.
On Monday night W. J. Chapman's
glove factory was entered and a num-
ber of robes, astrachan and other val-
uable•skins were taken, Tracks were
seen across lots and the depredators
mightr have been caught, but they
saved themselves by returning the
goods before daylight on Wednesday
morning. The skins were taken out
of the office by way of the side window
,but they wbre returned by leaving
them at the front door of the factory.
It is well that this was done promptly,
for Chief 'Vaunorman was on the track
and some person or persons would soon
have found themselves in an unpleas-
ant position.
L. T. E. Officers.
Fern Lodge No. 19 elected their offi-
cers for the present year on Monday
evening last. The election resulted as
follows:—W, M. --Mrs, W. J. Haines ;
D. M,—Mrs. J. W. Dodd ; Sec.—Lizzie

The officers were installed by the D.
D. G. Me W. J. Dodd. Ono candidate
was initiated into the mysteries of
li,oyal True iltueisnl. After the inititt-
tion refreshments were eer•vet't, and
a half-hour's social conversation en-
joyed.
Married.
Quite a number of young people cele-
brated the opening of the second year
of the 20th century by entering the es-
tate of matrimony. On January lst,.
two who formerly resided in Wingbanr
were made happy. We refer to Miss
Annie Bond. and Angus McLeod. The
happy event was consummated in
Windsor.
Married,
Our townsinan; R. J. MacMath, took
a trip to Huron township on Wednes-
day, 8th inst., on a very pleasing er-
rand. During the evening he was
united in marriage to Miss Cassie,
youngest daughter of the late Squire
Wilson, of Huron township. Rev,
McLeod, rector of Ripley, performed
the ceremony at the residence of the
bride's sister, Mrs. Bradley. Mr, and
Mrs. MacMath returned to Wingham
to -day (Thursday).
•
Acclamation.
The election of so many municipal
councils this year without pgils being
demanded or required, is evidence of
the improvement -going on in munici-
pal administration. Wingham, Tees -
water, Blyth, Turnberry, Morris, East
and West Wawanosh, Ashfield, Kin-
loss, and other municipalities were
spared the expense and excitement of
blections, and there is no probability
that their public affairs will suffer in
the least, as a result.
A Reader.
Wm. Maxwell, a progressive farmer
on the Bluevale road, is one of those
who believes in good literature. and
judging from the order he left with
the Advance for 1902,he intends to keep
posted on the news of the day, and the
most approved Methods of farming..
Mr. Maxwell's order included the
Wingham Advance, Daily Globe, Far-
mer's Advocate, Family Herald and.
Weekly Star, and Stratford Herald.
Farmers who thus keep their newspa-
per list well filled are invariably the
most progressive and successful.
To -day's values are the BEST. Turn-

Annual Meeting.
The annual meeting of Turnberry
Agricultural Society was held on Wed-
nesday afternoon. The attendance
was somewhat interfered with by the
occurrence of two funerals that after-
noon, but a successful meeting was
held, later in the day. The Treas-
urer's report showed a balance of $51.-
06. The following odhcers were elected;
—Hon.-Pres.—Chas. TJenderson ; Pres,

re-elected Sec.-Treas., at the same
salary.
Noted Minister Dead.
The following is of local reference,
not only because the deceased minister
was so well known throughout Cana-
da, but also because he was a brother
of Archie Robertson of Wingham
The Presbyterian Church in Canada
has lost a valued worker, in the person
of Rev. James Robertson, superinten-
dent of Presbyterian Home Missions.
Deceased had been suffering for a long
time from diabetes, lint his illness be-
came more aggravated lately owing to
a fall. During his last hours he was
unconscious, and he passed away at 6
p. m. on Saturday. Mr. Robertson
was 62 years of age and leaves a wid-
ow, two sons and two daughters. He
was born in the town of Dull, in
Perthshire, Scotland, and bad been a
member of the Presbyterian church in
Canada for more that 20 years, serving
for many years in' the capacity, of su-
perintendent of the Northwest • mis-
sions, and latterly as superintendent
of Horne missions.
The Holy City.
Lovers of music is ill not fail to hear
this in the Opera House on Monday
evening next. It is something new,
and is highly recommended. . The
choir of the Methodist church has se-
cured its rendering here, for one night
only, Plan of Hall at 11, Park's store.
See the following press notice from
the Oshawa 'Vindicator:—
The Holy City, presented by Messrs.
Hall & Bennett, last Saturday even-
ing, was one of the most artistic
stage performances that has ever vis-
ited the town. To attempt anything
like ttn adequate description is an in)
possibility, The grand music render-
ed, by the most talented of singers;
the sublime stage effects; the won-
derful and beautiful visions present-
ed, hold the audience spell -bound,
The opening scene, showing the inte-
rior of a cathedral with a choir sing-
ing, as only first-class singers can, is
alone worth the price of admission;
and this is ouly an introduction to
the apparently magic scenes that, fol -
each one being interpreted by
the eompany in songs, duets. trios,
and choruses, that charm and thrill
the listeners, The different effects
produced were diel) trite to nature,
The Easter dawn and beantifnl moon-
light landscape were something glori-
osa gst to behold, and the impression
made, as the angelic music blends
with the lovely views, is one that
cannot easily he forgotten.

Explosion,
The explosion of acetylene gas at the
0. 1_', R. round -house at Owen Sound,
on Thursday of last week, shows the
necessity of care in the use of this
gas for lighting purposes, That it fur-
nishes a most excellent light cannot be
denied, In the explosion referred to,
Thoniaa Gordon was seriously if not
fatally burped, the roundhouse wreck-
ed, and the windows of the Pacific, ho-
tel, nearly a quarter of a mile distant,
were broken. Since writing the above
we learn that Mr. Gordon is dead.

Church Opening.
The Trustee Board of the Methodist
Church met on Thursday evening and
decided on the date for the opening of
the new church. The pastor would
have preferred to begin the series of
opening services on February Oth, but
the Building Committee desired one
week later in order that everything in
connection with bus interior may be
as complete as possible ; the Board
therefore decided on February 16th as
the first Sunday of the opening ser-
vices. Among the preachers secured
are Rev. A, C. Crews, Rev. Dr. Briggs,
Rev. Dr. Carman, General Superinten-
dent, and Rev. James Livingstone,
President of the London Conference,
The dates for each of thes.will be an-
nounced later. The ladies of the con-
gregation are preparing for a large at-
tendance at the supper they intend
providing on Monday, lith proximo.
The removal of the old church, the
completion of tate cement steps, and
the levelling of the grounds will have
to be deferred until spring. There will
have to be some hustling done to have
the building ready, even for the 16th
of February. •

Marriage.
The following from the Hensel] Ob-
server will be of interest, as the bride
is known in Wingham as a sister of
Mrs. Paulin, formerly a resident of
town :—The residence of S. Rennie,
Zurich, was the scene of a very happy
wedding on New Year's day, when his
daughter Jessie A. was united in mar-
riage with Arthur Stelek of Manitoba.,
The bride looked handsome in a grey
travelling suit, and carried re bouquet
of pink and white carnations, The
wedding march was played by her sis-
ter, Lizzie, on the piano, accompanied
by Ed. Stelek on the violin The bride
was supported by her sister, Lydia,
while the groom was assisted by his
brother Robert. The bride's niece,
Irma Rennie, dressed in cream, acted
as ring bearer; Rev. Fiukbeiner c
ated. About forty guests were pal,.
,
ent, ail immediate relatives of the con-
tracting parties. There were four gen-
erations of the Stelck family present.
Tho happy couple intend spending
abort a month visiting relatives, after
which they will leave for their Mani-
toba home.

School Opened. .
Wingham Public School opened on
Monday last, There $s o°tly one change
in the teaching staff. The vacancy
caused by Miss Vanstone's resignation
has been filled by the appointment of
Miss Campbell of Goderieh. Miss
Campbell comes to Wingham well re-
commended, and well qualified for the
position, The Advance expresses the
hope that 1002 will be a most success -
fill year for the teachers and pupils of
Wingharn Public school.
Sad News.
As clouds rise above the horizon and
often one after another cause gloom
to fall athwart our pathway, so do
troubles come sometimes in quick enc-
c cion. Mrs. Allenby, Sen., who lost
her husband last week by death, re-
ceived the sad news this week of the
death of her son, Thomas G., in Cali-
fornia. He was killed a few weeks ago
while engaged in his duty as brake-
man on a freight train. In the dark-
ness of the early morning, while step-
ping from one car to another, he slip-
ped between thenars and his life was
crushed out. Mrs. Allenby and her
family here are plunged into grief
again, by the sad news, Deceased was
a Patriarch of the I. 0. 0. F., and his
lodge draped their charter and passed
resolutions
of sympathy, He and his
brother John, formerly of Wingham,
bad planned to visit their friends here
in the spring. Deceased leaves two
orphan 'sons ; his wife died a few years
ago.
CLIMBED DOWN.
The Times was exceedingly tame
and lame in its reply to the Advance
last week. We knew it would climb
down, but scarcely expected the event
so soon. People that pick quarrels
and charge others with misleading,
should be able to back up their char-
ges.
We fully understand the situation,
however. The article "How the .Ad -
vanes Misleads" was no doubt a com-
munication, to which the writer did
not care to append his name, and the
Times palmed it off as editorial. The
writer then withdrew, leaving the
Times to wriggle out of the difficulty
as hest it could.
Hence our, cotem :—
Has not, a word in defence of its re-
hash of political strife a month after
the election was past.
Not a word regarding its failure to

ing; the coming of Mr. Whitney; or
its dismissal of the Whitney meeting
with half a -dozen lines. This, too, in
face of the fact, that at that very time
it was boasting of its "full and accur-
ate reports of public meetings."
Not a word now as to United States
prices being a criterion of the prices
that should prevail in Canada, where
conditions are so widely different from
those which prevail in the States.
Not a word in reference to our
charge that there is a school book
ring.
Not a word to disprove the charge
that the school book ring was created
and has been fostered by the Ontario
govern men t.
Not a word in reply to our statement
that the bungling of Mr. Ross in the
Education department was responsible
for the creation of the monopoly now
existing.
A more speedy, complete and hu-
miliating back -down, we have seldom
witnessed.
Butethe Times makes an admission.
It says, in referring to the school
books, "the changes that have occur-
red during the past ten years may, also
be bought for $5,10,"
Weil, then, we will add the Times'
estimate of the cost of the changes,
$5,10, to Premier Ross' estimate of the
east of the books, $5, and we have
$10.10 for the cost for one child for ten
years. But how does this agree with
the last paragraph in the Tirnes' at-
tack, where it states that parents
"can send a whole family of five
to school for ten years each, and
the text -books cost only $20—half
the price of a cow."
$10.10 for one child for ten years !
$20 for a whole family of five for ten
years! Such floundering is not only
ridiculous, but pitiable.
Instead of attacking the Advance, if
the Times would devote more time to
its own columns it would less fre-
quently be the laughing -stock of the
public. It talks of "cheap education,"
and some of the paragraphs in its last
week's issue are practical illustrations
of it. They furnished a laugh for
many Who read them.
Dear Times,—Take our advice. Pay
more attention to your own columns,
and do not meddle with the Advance.
We are pleased to see you prospering,
and congratulate you on entering an-
other year (your 31st) of pnblieation.
We tenet you may still live, grow and
prosper. The Advance sincerely wish-
es the Times, its editors and stair, a
prosperous year for 1002. When any
of yon feel like "smashing" the Ad-
vance with your ponderous editorial
machinery, strike out in it straight-
forward, above -board style, and not in
the underhand manner indicated by
your article headed "How The Ad-
vanes Misleads," and in the words of a
past leading politician, it shall receive
oirr "serious consideration." Ent re-
member—yon cannot stop the pro-
kress 'of this paper by the small
warfare► you seem inclined to adopt,
t') don't be deluded by any soelg idea.
You will find us "on deck" every time.
