Mr. Ditefield considers he has captur- ed the best bass of the season so far ; it measured eighteen inches and a half in Iength. Mr. Duffield is of the opinion that even. May 16th is too early for bass-fishieg Many of the fish caught have not spawned, and if the season v•.ts made even later in opening, the ft •v bass that find their way this far up the river in spite of obstructions, w• Auld soon re -stock the stream.

A couple of young ladies and a young gentleman started with a livery _r) testa V'roxeten on ,Tuesday. but the horse, whose`vtsuikh-]bas defective, tin loaded them before they got out of town. It seems, that the horse de- cided to try the granolithie walk, and the young people were so busily en- gaged that they noticed it not, until the buggy collided with a telephone pole. The occupants then carefully (?) alighted from the buggy, some side- ways, some over the dashboard, but all succeeded in reaching the ground. Not to have their fun spoiled the party (not the horse) took the train and had a good time. The buggy was not able to go any farther that day. Women's $1.50 Oxfords for $1.00 on Saturday W. J. Greer's, Happily Wedded. On Thursday Inst our esteemed young townsman, T. T. Field, forsook the ranks of the bachelors and joined the great artny of the benedicts. The lady of his choice was Miss Ida Rush. daughter of Mrs. Rush of Pleasant Valley. 'The happy event was quietly consummated, none but the immediate relatives being present, Rev. J. J. Pat- terson, 13, A., securely tying the nup- tial knot. The bride was prettily at- tired in cream lustre. Both bride and groom, though unattended, came safe- ly through the ordeal. After congrat- ulations, the happy company sat down to a choice repast. The bride and groom are highly respected and were the recipients of many sincere and ex- pressed wishes for theirfutnre welfare. Many useful and valuable presents were received by the bride, The Ad- vance tenders congratulations, and trusts that life's voyage for Mr, and Mrs. Field may be as free frau) storms as possible. Marriage. A very pleasing event took place on Wednesday evening, June 25th, at the residence of Mrs, Geo. McClure, on the 4th concession of McKillop, when her daughter Trances was united in mar- riage by the Rev. Mr. Larkin of Sea - forth to John L, Brown, eldest son of John S. Brown, one of the most promi- nent and prosperous residents of the township. The bride was supported by her sister, and the l;roo;p by his brother .:.Bred. The lacjies were itaud- rioutely gowned, and each carried a beautiful bociuet of roses and canna. tions, After the ceremony, nearly one hundred guests, including some from New York, Illinnesota, poderich, Wingham, Brussels, Seaforth and other points, enjoyed a magnificent repast. When this pleasant duty was performed, Rev. Mr. Larkin, in a neat and eornplimentary speech, in which he eulogised the many good qualities .af the bride and groom, proposed the health and happiness of the young couple just starting off on life's jours ney together, De. Campbell of Brook. iyn, N, Y., uncle of the groom, replied in his usual happy and pleasing man- ner, The wedding presents were nu- merous, handsome and useful, Cmt, All departments contain matey lines redueed to less than cost during king's Clearing Sale. $1.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE Moon's Phases, New moon occurs on the morning of July 5th, first quarter on that of the 12th, Pull moon near noon on the 20th, and last quarter on the night of the 27th.

He says that the coun- try up there is developing very rapid- ly, During May the Crown Lands agent there sold forty thousand acres. Wages are good, and people are arriv- ing there in large numbers. Charlie thinks that the country up there is the "garden of Eden. The Advance keeps the inhabitants of the garden posted on news at this end of the line. Married, Miss Alice J, Johns, formerly of Wingham, was married on June 18th in St. Stephen's church, Toronto, to Mr. Gordon Stanley. The ceremony was performed by Rev, J. A. Brough - all.

The case of Joshna Sandford, the young man entombed in a well near Paris, Ont., for 100 hours, is remark- able. He was engaged working in a well 80 feet in depth, when it caved in. The falling earth and bricks formed a sort of arch just above his bead and though injured, was able to tap upon the pipe and thus let those above know he was living. Another well was sunk alongside the old one, and when at a sufficient depth, tunnels were made and after several clays of constant and heroic work, his rescuers succeeded in bringing him to the surface. Unless complications set in, he is expected to recover. Black Dress Goods, new and up-to- date, Selling at Cost during King's July and August Sale. Town Council. A special meeting of the Town Coun- cil was held on Frliday evening to con- sider the report of the Engineer re- garding cost of sewer on Josephine street. As the Advance stated last week, the estimated cost of an 18 -inch sewer would be over $40,000. The opinion of the town fathers appears to be that it would be better to let the matter lie over until the ratepayers have an opportunity to express their opinion on a waterworks scheme. It is thought that the two could perhaps be put in together at much less cost than if put in separately. The rate- payers will not find fault with the. council for duly considering the mat- ter before undertaking a large outlay. It is not likely anything will be done this year, bat many are of the opinion- that, pinionthat action cannot long be delayed without endangering the health of our citizens. Electric Railway*. Regarding the proposed electric rail- way in this county, the Goderich Sig- nal says :—The first part of the line to be constructed is that between Goder- ich and Kiutail, and from Goderich to Dungannon, the work of which will in all probability he proceeded with sire ultaneously, 'Thus far encouragement has been tven to the .proeetors the 'Vtt3S 7a[cr5r,.vt,.n,n,,.--v,. .•-, ranru Wawanosh and Colborne, where ar- rangements have been made for the anbmitting of by laws wbich favor the taking of stock in the electric railway by the mrnicipalities. There has been an impression that it was not the in- tention of the Company to carry the branch line from Sinith's Hill beyond Dungannon, but we are in a position to state that such is not the case. Luck - now is the eventual terminal point, and with this end in view the West Wawa - nosh council have drawn their by-law making the taking of stock by that township conditional upon the road being constructed between Dungannon and Lucknow. Died. After an illness extending over sev- eral months, Mr. N. Farquharson pass- ed away early on Friday morning. When first taken ill, friends hoped that medical skill would succeed in subduing the disease, but tbese hopes were not realized, and for some weeks it had been evident that his days were numbered. His tedious illness was borne with patience and fortitude, Deceased had been for many years a resident of town, and had succeeded in building np a successful grocery bush tress, when his health failed and he was obliged to dispose of it. He was a valued member of the Presbyterian church, and took au active interest in the choir- and the young people's or- ganization. The funeral took place on Saturday, and was attended by the Woodmen of the World, Sons of Scot- land, and a large number of friends. Beautiful floral tributes were laid upon the casket by the teachers of the Cen- tral School, the Woodmen, the Sons of Scotland, and the business teen of town. 'Ilow uncertain is life 1 Only two years ago, a number of happy, healthy young people bad many plea- sant evenings together of social amuse- ment. Now, two of them, Mr, Farquer harson and Mrs. Wright (then Miss Gray), lie numbered with the dead ; both about the sante age, both passing away within two days of each other, The bereft and sorrowing friends are consoled with the thought that There is no grief in heaven Por life is one glad day, . And tears are of those former things Which all have passed away. Rate, Y's ?AMTS. --The right paints f;o paint right. See new picture ad, in- side pogo ; for sale by A.

(Farquharson—In Winghain, June 27, Norman A. Farquharson, aged 20 Kral. years. C. 0. F. At the meeting of Court Maitland last Friday ever;ing, Messrs. Neil and D. M, Gordon, delegates to the High Court, gave reports of the session. Mr. Neil dealt chiefly with the notices of motion regarding changes in consti- tution. The changes made were not many, and were most of them neces• sary to make the meaning of clauses more clear. Mr, Gordon gave a sketch of Owen Sound's Industries, and con- siders that the session of the High Court of 1002 was one of the best ever held. The Order is in good standing, and the business was most harmoni- ously conducted. Mr, Gordon will continue his report at greater length at next meeting of Court Maitland. Wingham received 26 votes for the High Court meeting, Berlin 1, Godor- ieh 2; it goes to Hamilton. Mr. Gor- don paid the Advance a compliment for the neat invitation cards issued for use of the delegates. He considered them a credit to the office and also to the town of Wingham. Their neatness was noted by many of the delegates. Every member of the Court should hear Mr. Gordon's report next meeting night, as it will deal with matters of interest and importance, GreeMenr's's $3.00 Boots for $2.26 at W. J. , Dead Man Found. Last Friday, daughters of J. H. Brandon, of Morris, while picking ber- ries, found the dead body of a man lying in Reeve Isbister's woods, a short distance from the railway track. It was very much decomposed, and was evidently the body of a tramp. On January 23rd, a man answering to his description called at Mr. Elston's and rode part of the way to Belgrave with him . he said he would not go to Wing - ham, and turned off along the track. While at Elston's he asked for a piece of writing paper, and a piece similarly folded was found on him. As far as the writing could be deciphered, it was to the effect that he had been "fifty hours without rest or sleep defying the aims of the Huronites," It stated he was charged with two heinous crimes and implied that someone was after him, who had been twice foiled, but as the pursuer was determined, he had decided to die by his own hand, and hoped God would forgive him for the act he was about to commit. It was signed M. Fitzpatrick, Quebec province, A piece of a War Ory, dated Dec. 28, and of a London Advertiser, iia illy o nti` 61fit sahib isg3 lay some substance like paris green ; no doubt he had taken sufficient to end his life. Persued, forsaken, with- out friend or home, perhaps partially insane, he died alone in the woods on a cold winter day. Constable Vannes - man was notified ; he cremated the awfully repulsive remains and brought the bones to the resting place of the dead north of town.

Hazel, the youngest daughter of Mr. T. S. Brandon, writes the Advance the following letter from the Soo, Hazel bas certainly done well for her first at- tempt at journalism : Dear Advance,—I left home Tuesday the 10th of June, at 7 a. m,, got to Owen Sound at 2 p.m., took the S.S. Alberta for Sault Ste, Marie, got to the American Soo at 2 p.m., Wednesday ; took a ferry across to Canadian Soo, and got to my auntie's at 3 p.m. The scenery coming up the Soo river is just beautiful ; there were people from England, Scotland, Jamaica, on the Al- berta. I stayed at my aunt's until Friday, walking over to the Canadian Soo. It is a very nice place I think. I got on board the Lincoln for Bruce Mines at 3 p.m., got to the Mines at 7 p.m., Friday. My cousin Albert Wray took me out to Rock Lake Mines, fif- teen miles from his place ; he took me one hundred feet straight down in the mine, and then two hundred and sev- enty five feet one way in the mine and two hundred and fifty feet the other way: we carried wax candles to light as through the mine.
