Good Advertisers.
At the beginning of this year John.
and Jas. H. Kerr decided to reduce
their advertising space from one and
a half columns to one column. After
three weeks' trial, they cane to the
conclusion that it would not pay to
reduce advertising space, hence our
readers will find their well written
advt. in the same place and occupying
the same space as in 1001. The develop-
mebt of the business of Messrs. Kerr
is largely ,traceable to judicious and
liberal advertising.
Yes It Does.
The Essex Free Press asks—"Does
farming pay?" and adds :—"Ex -Deputy
Reeve Qnenneville, of Tilbury North,
cultivates 262 acres, and this year rais-
ed 40 acres of corn, ,100 acres of oats
and 100 acres in pasture. • Ile wintered
67 head of cattle, and claims they were
the most profitable crop he had. His
profits the past year on his farm were
$2,948." Our reply 'to our confrere's
question would be—"Yes, of course
fanning pays, when the profits amount
to nearly $3;000 in one year."

Peat As Fuel.
Regarding the advantages of peat as
compared with coal, a Stratford paper
says : "The Windsor Hotel has receiv-
ed a shipment of the Ellice peat, which
is being used in the kitchen ranges
and in the open grates. Mr. Hodgins
says the peat is giving great satisfac-
tion for cooking purposes, and gives
an intense heat without any offensive
odor. He says that 100 pounds of it
goes as far as 200 pounds of the best
coal for this purpose. The cost of peat
in car -load lots is about $3.50 per ton,
and at this figure should command it
ready sale.

Strange !
Even love has its difficulties, as many
'a couple have found by unpleasant ex-
porienco, This was illustrated by an
incident that occurred recently in this
vicinity, So far as we can learn of the
truth of the matter it is this :—A re-
spectable young woman of Turnberry
and a promising young man of the
same township hah (so it is said)
known and loved each other for years
—since childhnod, The girl's friends
objected to the proposed union, and
she came to town to earn a respectable
livelihood. She had a brother in ill
health, and on a recent Sunday morn-
ing her brother-in-law drove to Wing -
ham with the news that her brother
was worse, and if she wished see to
him, she must come at once. She con-
sented, but on getting into the cutter
was driven the opposite way ; she pro-
tested, but was taken against her will
to Blyth where she met her sister why
resides in Kent county. Here the.
young lady was persuaded that as she
was not quite 21, she was under guar-
dianship, and on Monday she was tak-
en to her sister's home in Kentcounty.
She managed to send word to the
young man she loved, and he at once
journeyed southward, but on arriving
at the place found the house locked.
Legal advice was sought, and when the
parties were found at home, the young
lady was not to be found, nor would
her relatives divulge the secret of her
whereabouts, The girl declares she
will soon be 21, and then --. The
proceedings seem very strange, and
we think conte person has been run-
ning considerable risk by taking the
young lady away against her with.
However, this is another illustration of
the old adage to the effect that—"the
course of trne love does not always
run smoothly." If it be true that
"love laughs at difficulties" the young
people may yet enjoy each other's
company in the matrimonial estate.

From North Dakota,
The Advance had a pleasant call on
Tuesday from Mr, Thomas Cooper of
Mayville, North Dakota. Mr. Cooper
was formerly a resident of Wing't:am,
but twenty-four years ago went to
Dakota, and found there a comfortable
home and surroundings. He and Mrs.
Cooper are nave here on a visit to his
brother John, and other friends. Af-
ter twenty-four years' absence he no-
tices wonderful changes in Wingham,
and iu its inhabitants. A walk through
our cemetery yonder recalled memo-
ries of many rte once knew, but are
uow numbered with the dead, Mr.
Cooper fought for Uncle Siun during
the civil war in 1863-4, and with hiele-
giment took part in Gen. Sherman's
great "March to the Sea." His regi-
ment was at that time on Is6okout
Mountain, and the greater part of the
army at .A Bente,. Sherman began the
forty days' march with nearly fifty
thousand men, and only twenry days'
provisions ;-for the rest they had to
forage, and stripped the country for
forty miles in width, Mr. Cooper
carne through the engagements with-
out a wound, but can never forget the
eventful scenes of those days of strug-
gle and blood, In North Dakota, pro-
hibition 18 part of the Constitution of
the State, and Mr, Cooper's testimony
is that it is successfully enforced, The
law there is more effective than a pro-
vincial prohibitory law could possibly
be in Ontario, from the fact that it
prohibits the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors, which, if we un-
derstand the matter. Is outside of pro-
vineial jurisdiction in Canada. One of
Mr, Cooper's sons found a Wingham
young lady a sellable life companion,
and he bolds a responsible sitgation in
a ele,yville 'Wank, )i1r. land Mrs, Cooper
intend remaining to couple of Months

Sills—Doyle.
The Owen Sound Times says regard-
ing the marriage of Miss Doyle and
George B. Sills :—It is seldom indeed
that a wedding is surrounded by such
general interest us that which was sol-
emnized at the residence of Mrs. P.
Doyle, Murdoch street, at noon yester-
day, when her niece, Miss Margaret J.
Doyle, only dunghter of Me Jas Doyle
of Derby, became the wife of Mr. Geo.
13. Sills, a well-known and popular fur-
niture dealer at Carman, Man, The
ceremony was performed by Rev. Jas.
Ardill, rector of St. George's church,
in the presence of a few friends and
relatives of the contracting parties.
The bride was given away by her
uncle, Mr. John Moore of Derby, and
looked unusually, beautiful in a blue
cheviot suit. After the customary ex-
change of congratulations, the party
sat to an elaborate wedding breakfast
at which the toasts usual to an event
of the kind were proposed. The pres-
ents of' which the bride was the recipi-
ent were too numerous and beautiful
for individual mention ; but among
those that created special interest was
a 'reign latent sunburst of diamonds,
the gift of the groom, and a purse of
gold, the gift of the bride's uncle, Mr.
John Ii, Moore. The bride was for
some time in charge of a leading milli-
nery establishment et Clinton, and
