Now is the time to bay coal for next winter, before the price ad- vances. Another. Another coal deal has been consum- mated this week. le:Tem:le Cart' and Thos.

Maxwell's on Monday evening and organized the "Wingham Social Pedestrian Club." Robt Maxwell was elected President, and Miss Maggie Grey, Secretary. The colors of the Society are green and white. They will walk on Monday and Tuesday evenings of each week, from 8 to 9 o'clock. Forty-five members are en- rolled already, and others are invited to join. To those whose occupations are of a sedentary nature, and who do not get sufficient out -door exercise, an evening walk should prove health- ful and invigorating, an aid to diges- tion, and an inducer of 'Tired Nature's sweet restorer, Balmy sleep." Looking It Over. Last week, P, R, Cumming and Chas. Lawrie, the general manager and vice- president of the Cumming M'f'g. Co„ Toronto, were in town, looking over the plant and buildings of the Iron Works, with a view of purchasing. It is perhaps not wise to snake public the' assume definite form, but we understand that an offer has been made for the estab- lishment. The gentlemen were well pleased with the town, and propose to employ forty-five hands the first year. The Council evidently intend to be cautious, and when they make a bar- gain they will want evidence that it is likely to be of practical and permanent benefit to the town. The taxpayers will appreciate their efforts and cau- tion in this matter. as it is of vital in- terest to the town. BARGAIN SALE — of Misses' Shoes, sizes 11 to 2, at Greer's, on Saturday next. See window. . Regarding Water. Minutes of the special meeting of the Town Council held on Monday evening will be found in another col- umn. The question of waterworks was carefully thought over. The pre. veiling opinion seemed to be that be- fore long the question must he serious- ly faced, and the Councillors, while anxious to avoid large outlay, consider that whatever may be done, should be so arranged that the money spent will not be wasted, but that the work should prove the basis or nucleus of a more extended system. Nothing can be definitely ascertained as to the source of a sufficient supply of water, the best means of distributing it, or the cost of introduction of a system, without the services of an expert on such matters. A resolution was pass- ed, authorizing the employmeut of an engineer, 'whose report will be laid be- fore the Council. Should the Cnuneil not decide to take action, on accoun t of cost, etc., the information obtained would be valuable and worth the cost of securing it. Marf'ied. On Wednesday, 10th inst., the ',erne of Mr. and Mrs, Robb, Aikens w s the scene of a pretty and inti. esting event, when their daughte Miss Marie Caroline, became the arida of Mr. Neil Patterson Haines, F., Owen Sound. The ceremony took place at high noon, in the presence of the rela- tives and near friends of the ''ride and groom. The bride was prett;: e dressed in a travelling snit of navy bate ladies' broadcloth, and wore a n t,.ite silk waist. The myelic Words ! .dicating the bond of union were se 'ken by Be'.-. R. Hobbs, and then foll wed the customary congratulations, r tastily prepared wedding luncheon v..s then enjoyed, and the happy couple :eft by the C.P,Xt. train, followed by ti: good wishes of many friends, The le de is an estimable young lady, and ret ived many tangible evidences of est&,aa, in nsefu] and beautiful presents. The groom is a respected and industrt...ts young matt, and we trust a bt'igltt at, happy future awaits theist, They will reside in Owen Souttd, where the Ad vanee will visit thein 'weekly to keep them it) roach with the old bond.

The new subscribers voluntarily registered on the list for the Advance during the past two weeks have ren- dore,l it necsssary to add another quire to our list. The rapid and healthy growth of our list of readers is most phasing, and is unquestioned evidence of the popularity of the Advance in the surrounding country. Married In Goderich. By a neat announcement card re- ceived, we note that 2dr. Geo. Fowler, of Saltford, formerly of Wingham, has entered the matrimonial estate. The happy event took place on Wed- nesday, and the lady was Miss Emma, daughter of Mrs, J.. C. Millian of Gode- rich. The bride was dressed very pret- tily in a suit of blue, with white silk bodice, with chiffon and applique trim- mings. The Advance tenders congrat- ulations and hopes Mr, and Mrs. Fow- ler may have a prosperous future. Storms. Rev. Li Hicks, the astronomer, has this to say;—"Active and possible dan- gerous storms will visit many sections from the 10th to the 19th. Look out for wicked storms of rain, hail, winds and thunder about the 22nd and 23rd, with frost and ice and probably squalls of snow in the northern part of the country. The last storm period is cen- tral on the 28th, extending from the 26th to 30th. Upon the whole we be- lieve that April will prove a good month for general outdoor work." We can give you a sweli outfit, a buggy and harness as low as 575.00.— T. Li. Ross. Twenty -Cent Pieces, The Receiver -General's Department, Toronto, invites all who have 20 -cent pieces to send them in and have them exchanged, as it is desirable to put the coin but of circulation. A; present two kinds of 20 -cent coins are found in some places. The Newfoundland pieces can be distinguished from the Canadi- an coins by a dotted ling which sur- rounds the "20 cents." The name "Newfoundland" can also be found on the coins of that Island. A maple leaf wreath encircles the "20 cents" on the Canadian piece. Sad News. 11Xr. and Mrs. Youill received sad news on Thursday last of the sudden death of their son-in-law, T. F. Thomp- son of Saginaw. In company with his family, he went to Florida to look after.business interests there. On their way home, they stopped at new:, Ohio to visit a daughter, and leaving his family there, Mr, Thompson went on to Saginaw. He was taken ill on Sun- day and on Monday passed away. Deceased was one whose enterprise was a guarantee of prosperity. It is said he was "cradled in poverty and owed his success to his indomitable indus- try." Ile was extensively engaged in the lumber industry and beside pro. petty in Michigan, owned a hundred million feet of standing timber in Florida. He leaves a widow and five children. He had spent thirty-one years of happy married life, and his family most keenly feel the bereave- ment that has so suddenly come upon them. D. M. Gordon chums that his fine English serge snits for wren at $0.00, with wide French facings in coat. are better vst• ,, loan at,,, ele.00 tailor- made • .at in Canada. See tiu• • Public Meeting. About fifty of the business men and other residents of town attended the public meeting held on Wednesday evening, to consider the advisability of petitioning the Dominion Govern- ment to erect a building in Wingbam suitable for a post -office. Mr. G. Mac- kenzie was elected chairman, and Mr. A. E. Smith secretary. A number of those present expressed their opinions on the mutter, among them Messrs. Youhill, 13ictndoo, Homuth, Leary, Dulmage, Dr. Tamlyn, Dr. Chisholm and the Mayor. It was thought best to appoint a committee to prepare and circulate a petition, and also ask the Council to memorialize the Govern- ment in the matter, The general trend of the remarks by those who spoke was—that a suitable building was a necessity ; that '4Vingliant was more entitled to such a building than Clinton, attd that the time had arrived for its erection. Several speakers tes- tified to the efficiency of the post -office staff in town, and their readiness te. serve the public, and admitted the tire silitability of the present building f,•:' post -office purposes, To Mr. Vont.11 belongs the credit of bringing this natter to the front, and the erer.,ion it suitable building would be r t)pre- ci'=ed by the eitixens.

Chapman's Glove factory is a very busy place these days. tJp to April 1st nearly double the orders were booked when compared with the same time last year, Orders for three thousand four hundred dozen of gloves are now on hand, and the query is, how to fill the orders in time for delivery.

An Arbitration was held in the Council Chamber on Wednesday, to settle, if possible, the differences be- tween Peter Campbell of town and the tenant on his farm, John Fitch. Ex -mayor Clegg, and Barrister Irwin of Gorrie were the arbitrators. There were seventeen witnesses. The award of the arbitrators will be given in a few days. In Hospital. The Advance learns with regret that Mrs. G. 0. Manners found it necessary to undergo an operation onWednesday of this week. Drs. Gunn and Agnew were in attendance.

T. R. circular to haggagemen introduces a new regulation with re- gard to children's carriages, and our readers should be prepared for it. The regulation is as follows :—Baby car- riagee, go-carts and baby sleighs when containing only necessary articles, such as pillows, robes or blankets, may be checked, subject to the same charge as for 50 pounds of excess baggage.

Many of the young people in Wing - ham will regret to hear of the death of Gladys Bessie Bell, formerly of tbis town. Gladys was a bright, cheery girl, full of life, and two years ago no one thought she would now be cold in death, from that prevalent disease, consumption. Her decease occurred on Friday Last, in Detroit, at the resi- dence of Josh Vanallen, formerly of Wingham, and interment took place on Sunday. The pall -bearers were four young men also at one time residents of town—Frank and Earnest Risdon, Mackenzie Messer and Marshall Mac- donald. Deceased was the youngest daughter of Mr. John Bell. She had been ill six months, and was 20 years of age. Dairying. The Directors of the Dairyman's As- sociation of aVestern Ontario, have appointed three Instructors to devote the whole of their time to assisting the Cheese Makers, Factory Managers and Patrons to raise the quality of the product of the Cheese Factories of Western Ontario to the very highest standard of excellence, and, by so doing, to retain the pre-eminence in tee British Markets that we have for eo long a period enjoyed. Besides in- ✓ eaeing the number of Instructors, the Board has been able to materially teduce the fees payable by the factor- ies. It is to be hoped that every t.beese-maker or manager in Western t' itario will take advantage of the op - p .rtunities now offered, and make ,rp- i-lieation for the services of the In- ' rector for the District in which his factory is situated. The following wave been appointed inetrttetors:-.-. tames Morrison, 13 Fleet Street, lratitford, for tho South Eastern District; James Bristow, Bright, for r;he South Western District; John F, Millar, Listowel, for the Northern District. Wingham is be the latter district.

It is said that June 26th—Coronation day—is to be it public holiday. If it is to be made so permanently, it is not likely to be generally observed. As a matter of fact there is no necessity for its perpetuation, Victoria day should be sufficient in the spring time to work off our super -abundant loyalty. To make June 20th a permanent holiday and four days later cud ourselves up against Dominion day, is rather too much disturbance of business arrange- ments to meet with general approval. In Palmerston. Many in Wingham will remember Geo. Monkman, who was clerk in Mr. )larges', predecessor of W. J. Greer. Mr, Monkman and his brother are holding revival services in Palmerston. The Reporter says :—"Messrs. G. and 3, Monkman show an earnestness and zeal which can not help but inspire those around them. The chnrcb ex- pects to witness a mighty revival and all are working towards that end. Messrs. Monktnan are excellent speak- ers, and their sweet singing of the good old gospel songs is a pleasure to hear. 100 hags of Goose wheat for seed, for sale at T. A. Mills'. Sworn In. Hon, J. T.

Acting Registrar Grant read the commission of the new judge, and Chief Justice Armour administered the 'oath of office. The treasurer of the Law Society then tendered the congratula- tions of the bar to the new judge. Judge Garrow replied, stating that he came to the high office with diffidence, and consciousness of many shortcom- ings, but resolved to live up to the high standard indicated in the address of the treasurer of the Law Society. Naughty Jibes. The Toronto Telegram likes to poke fun at Dan. McGillicuddy of Goderich. Here are two references :— "Editor Mitchell, of the Goderich Star, is the Conservative candidate in West Huron. Now let the Liberals trot out Den 1\icGillicuddy and his dredge, and the mud will fly in the good old way that has made the 'fur end' of .Huron historic," "That Mitchell Star man has 'scoop- ed' Dan McGillicuddy pretty had, but Dan will get steam up on the dredge and say nothing, hut shovel mud til! West Huron Liberals awake to the duty they owe to the party press." If the Telegram man is not careful, the dredge will be pointed at him, and that will finish him.

A special meeting of the Town Coun- cil was held on Monday evening; all members present except Coun. Elliott, A communication was read from the Hunter Bridge & Boiler Co., Kincar- dine, as to probable cost Of stand -pipe for waterworks. They estimated on a pipe 10 feet in diameter, made in thim- bles, first three, a -inch thick, next two 5.10 -inch thick, next two a -inch thick; these to be placed on a foundation of concrete. The cost was estimated at from $55 to $60 a foot in height, Con- siderable discussion followed of an in- formal character, several councillors giving opinions, all apparently agree- ing that before long some action must be taken, both as to water supply and sewer system, The Mayor suggested that nothing definite could lie arriv- ed at until an Engineer had looked over the ground and reported. It was therefore moved by Councillor Van - Stone, seconded by Coen. Mclndoo, and carried, that the services of an en- gineer be secured to report on water- works with and without sewer system. The question of weigh scales then carne up, After discussion, Coun.Bell's suggestion was adopted, viz : to en- gage a Weighmaster or Clerk of the Market at a salary, and require hint to report weekly, with returns, to the Town Treasurer. By-law No. 457 was then drawn up and passed, amending by-law 353,'08, to secure the proposed ebatnge, A communication was receiv- ed from Thoinits Holmes, Esq., asking permission to enlarge his office by a frame addition, No action was taken, as it would rec;uire amendment of by- law in the matter, It Was also repott- ed that the night evatelunan at the Iron Wotks had resigned.

Dissatisfied. If one can judge by the outspoken. utterances of Wingham L]berals,there is very decided dissatisfaction here with M. G. Cameron as the party cans didate, A number of the leading men of the party here make no secret of their opposition to the Government candidate, and positively state that they will not support him. We are informed on good authority that a pe- tition, largely signed, was addressed to the President of the Liberal Associa- tion of the Riding, stating the dissatis- faction existing, and requesting the calling of another convention. One Liberal is authority for the statement that the petition bad over sixty names attached. Mr. Cameron was in Toron- to on Monday, and in the course of an interview with the Toronto Star, ac- knowledged that he had arranged his business to go into politics, and further declared that he would accept the nomination ; he was, he said, "in the field to stay, and also to win."
