Editor Advance,—Permit me to call
the attention of the readers of your
paper to the correction of a paragraph
which appeared among the Langside
items of last week's Issue, The word-
ing referred to was ambiguous, and
might be taken to mean that either I,
with smallpox myself, wag quaran-
tined in Whitechurch, or that I, ow-
ing to smallpox in Whitechurch, was
quarantined there. Will the readers
of the Advance please note the fact
that I have not the smallpox, and
never had ; that I am not quarantined
in Whitechurch, and never wits; that
Whitechurch, as a village, is not quar-
antined, and never was ; that at the
time of writing but one family in the
village are quarantined, and all of
them are well. And will the public at
large please aceept a little plain advice
regarding rumors and the smallpox
scare I Those who are possessed of
Ile it and
r r to sense s let
good Cann
,

these who etre not, be exceeding care-
ful what, they use as a substitute.

Monday evening was a red letter night
with the C. 0. F. There was not only a
large attendance but 14 were made mem-

Prohibition is Duce more to the front
and is likely to be the leading topic of
the day. At the Methodist church ou
Sunday morning a petition was present-
ed for signers, and in the evening Rev.
R. 3. Garbutt preached a sermon along
the line of Prohibition. It will bo in-
teresting to watch the squirming of some
of the Prohibitionists, seeing the Gov-
ernment in a tight place. We haven't
the least doubt but some of the Reform
Prohibitionists would just as soon let a
Conservative Government pass au Act,
seeing that they have always taken the
lead in everything pertaining to the
country's welfare. However it is up to
the Ross Government now and we will
see what we will see.
The annual meeting. of the Howick

tors—J. G. Lambkin, B. Stafford, J. A.
Patterson, Wm. Strong and S. Vogan.
Wm. Watters, the reliable Secretary and
Treasurer was re-elected for the year
1902. Any person glancing over the
Board will see in a moment that it is a
strong one, the best perhaps that could
be got in the township and the Howick
Show, under their good management,
will likely excel all previous efforts,
which is saying a good deal.
The Foresters' "At Homo" on Friday
evening, in their hall, was the best affair
of the kind ever held in Gorrie. The
Foresters with their wives and sweet-
hearts to the number of 100 were present
and sat down to oysters that were oys-
ters. 11 is needless for ns to add that
ample justice was done the bivalves.
High Chief Ranger, R. Elliott of Inger-
soll, and High Sec., Thos, White of
Brantford, were present, together with
Organizers W. G. Strong and Wm. Doig.
Speeches by the High Chief Ranger and
the High See. were masterpieces of ora-
tory and full of good points in oonnee-
tion with the noble order of Canadian
Foresters. Bros. Strong and Doig, the
well-known organizers of whom the
local Court is justly proud, wore hoard
with pleasure. Other speeches and songs
from the brethren helped to pass away a
happy evening and at a reasonable hour
the gathering broke up, ali pleased with
the entertaintnent. The High Chief
Ranger and High See. were the guests
of W. G. Strong and Wm. Doig, the 11,
C. R. staying over Sunday. In this eon.
