A number of Liberals attended the political meeting in Brussels on Tues- day and appear to have been much pleased with Mr. Harcourt. The C. E. Society of the Presby- terian church held a business meeting on Tuesday night when it was decided have a garden party some time in June. No definite arrangements were made however. We were honored on Monday by the visit of a little band of musicians of the monkey and hand -organ type. The monkey was certainly a great at- traction and the children were delight- ed with his antics. The horn and bag- pipe manipulated by two members of the company brought a tear to many an eye and a hand to many a pocket as as they wailed forth "Sweet Marie" and Mendlessohn's "Songs without words." But alas! all pleasures come to an end so the three men and the hand -organ to say nothing of the monkey passed on toward Jamestown. Thomas' Bazaar Button Block, Wingham. Fire Works!

Miss Carrie Humphrey of St. Helens visited Westfield friends last week. Robert McDowell of Westfield is confined to the house with a cold just now. Mr. and Mrs. John Solar attended the funeral of thelate Mr. Royden a week ago Monday. Quite a number of farmers in this locality have been disappointed in get- ting their mangolds sown owing to the wet weather. There was quite a successful political meeting held in. Westfield school last Wednesday evening. Many will regret to hear that Rev. W. T. Hall, formerly pastor of Bel - grave and Calvin churches, has resign- ed his charge in Arthur on account of ill health. Another of those happy events took place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John McDowell of Westfield, when their daughter Josephine, was united in holy wedlock, to Mr. Kenneth Camer- on, a respected young man from near Lucknow. Promptly at 4 o'clock, the bridal party descended to the parlor, where Rev. Mr. Kennedy of Auburn said the solemn words, which made them one. Tho bride was the recip. ient of a large number of costly pres- ents, showing the esteem in which she is held in Westfield and locality. On the morning of Friday, May 9th, occurred the death of John Diment Sr., who was one of the best known men in this vicinity. Mr. Diment had been suffering very severely for some weeks with a disease of the heart, so that when he was mercifully released from pain, his death was not unexpected. The deceased had reached a venerable age, !raving been born eighty years ago ha Bavard, Devonshire, England. In 1812 he emigrated to Canada and settled in Wilmot; from there he mov- ed to Turnberry 1800, where he has re- sided ever since, retiring from hard work some years ago. He was for some years a director of the Bluevale Cheese Co., and also occupied the posi- tion of Councillor for Turnberry. Be- sides his widow, he leaves a family of seven children, John and Henry of Bluevale, William of Wingham, Mrs. Thompson of Parkhill, Mrs. Coultes of Bluevale, Mrs. Treble of Manitoba, and Miss Eliza, at hoxno. The funeral on Sunday was largely attended by people from all over the two town- ships. The service was held in the Methodist church, remains were in- terred in the Bluevale cemetery. Among those present were: --Mr. and Airs. Wm. Diureut of Wilmot, Mr. and Mrs, Geo. Thompson of Parkhill, Miss Oroll of Harriston, Mr. and Mrs. J. McIntosh of Molesworth, Mr. J. Ansley of Wingham and Mr. Boddie of Ethel. Morris. Township Council will meet on Mon- day, 26th inst. Last Sunday afternoon a ram fight was on the program in Richard Cor- ley's field occasioned by the visit of the King of J. Campbell's flock.

May 15, 1902 Edburcil l eth5 Ministers and ohuroh workers generally, aro cordially invited to contribute items of ohuroh news uudor this heading, from their rospootlye ohnrehes. Rev. W. T, ball, late of Belgrave, has resigned his chavgo at Arthur on account of ill -health. There are over 500 active Christian Endoavorers, all young men, among the Boer prisoners in the Bermuda Islands. True penitence is the "straight gate" and self -forgetfulness the "narrow way" which loadeth unto life, and that is the reason why "few there be that find it," Bishop Baldwin will conduct Con- firmation services in Christ's church, St, Helens, May 20. The new church being free from debt will bo consecrat- ed the same time, Rev, A. H, Going, B.A. of Stratford, preached acceptably in the Methodist church last Sunday. Rev. R. Hobbs preached Epworth League anniversary sermons in Stratford. At a meeting of the Saugeen Presby- tery held on Monday, the call from Holstein to Rev. J. Little, of Chats- worth, was sustained and forwarded to the Owen Sound Presbytery. The annual meeting of the Maitland Women's Presbyterial Society of Foreign Missions will be held in Moles- worth on the 20th inst., and will be addressed by Miss Campbell a return- ed foreign missionary froui India. The man who has the deepest religi- ous experience, who knows what a struggle it is to keep the heart rigbt, the motives wholly pure, and the daily walk perfectly upright, will be the last man to judge another, much less to cast a slur upon his religion. The railroad department of the Y, M. C. A. has erected forty-eight build- ings in four years, or 1 a month, with two-thirds of the amount contributed by railroad companies. Over seventy- five per cent, of the railroad mileage of the country is contributing to the sop port of the Y. M, C. A. along its lines. We notice by the Times that some fellow didn't like our reference to the Prohibitiou meeting. We'll bet he's one of the "don't -want -to -throw -cold - water" ducks. We are sorry if we made a mistake in saying it was a union meeting of both churcbes; if it wasn't, it ought to have been. It is amusing to see that our brief item re- quired nearly acolumn to reply to, and called for two communications. Neter thought we could put so much into so small a space, as to make it necessary for "leading" meh to put forth such mighty literary effort. Then to think he signed it "Temperance." .As the Dutchman said—"It maks me laff mit all mine hart, mine gracious." Lakelet. Tlie farmers of this section through seeding. Mr. P. Brown had a handsome new organ placed in his house last week by Mr. Bell of Wingham. Mr.Carter's effects passed through to Clifford. Mr. Carter opened out there last Saturday.

Mr. and Mrs. Bushfield attended the funeral of Mrs. Bushfieldis sister, Mrs. Love at Attwood, last Tuesday. She died of typhoid fever. Wm. McLachlan of Fordwich bought six head of cattle from S. Nay for $151.00. Y oung cattle are in great demand. Quite a number of the Germans from this district attended the funeral of the late Andrew Harrifield of Nor- manby on Tuesday. The Springoank factory has been undergoing repairs during the past month is now almost ready for work. Mr. James is going to be the maker. At 4 o'clock last Sunday morning the spirit of Agnes McCullough, beloved wife of Alexander Clark, Sunshine, took its flight. Deceased was only ill about a week with pneumonia and pleurisy and the combination with a weak heart soon accomplished their deadly work. are all U P=TO""' DATF3 Everything in this store is strictly first-class, We have been in. the Grocery business long enough to know what is good and what isn't, Give us a trial order—we have some Specials for Saturday.

The admission of a communication in these columns does not imply that we endorse the sentiments of the writer.—Editor Advance. Mr. Editor,—It would be amusing, it it were not so pitiable to read the editorials in the Brussels Post . and Clinton New Era in which the writers seek to "pull the wool over the eyes" of people re the temperance question, and then copy each other's production in the next issue. It is NOT a question (as one of them suggests) as to which party has done the most for temper- ance. What concerns its now is the moral quality of a ;Government that breaks all its pledges on tha question. I will not ask space for quotations from Mr. Ross—made at various times—but would remind your readers of the fact that in March 1893, Mr. Marter brought in a bill which provided for the pro- hibition of the retail sale of liquors in Ontario and Mr. Ross sidetracked it with his amendment tp take 0 Plebis- cite. The Plebiscite was taken, years passed by and in Ontario we ask again for a fish and we get a (referendum) stone. Mr. Marter's amendment to this bill to have the vote taken at the municipal elections would have pre- served the secrecy of the ballot, saved the Province thousands of dollars and the electors a great deal of unnecessary labor. But PARTY INTERESTS must be served first. A hopeful sign, notwith- standing the conniving and trickery, is, that many good men are holding party in abeyance for the time being. and will stand by the 'FAITHFUL. FOUR' and all other prohibition candidates, no matter on which side they may be found. The defeat of the trimmers, or any considerable number of them, will be a distinct gain for purity and pro- hibition. A Oi)NS.TANT READER.
