The sebools in the rural sections
opened on Monday, Mr, Irvin, school
inspector for the County of Perth, re-
ports the unprecedented fact that
many of the trustees find a difficulty
in obtaining teachers, In fact many
schools have no teachers to open. the
term with. The reason given is the
stuall Salariespaid in the county,
which drives the teachers to other
vocations, especially the men.

Lightning's Work.
During a thunder storm a week ago,
the lightning struck the barn on the
dairy faun of Geo, Sergeant, Rolland
township, In the barn were thirty
cows, and half a dozen people were
the
in milking them.All of
animals fell at the .shock and one of
the milkers bad a, leg crushed by a cow
falling on. hila, Another man had his
trousers slit fr•oin top to bottom on
both sides of the body, but escaped
scorching of the skin. All the animals
regained their feet except two, which
were killed by the shock, The build-
ings, fortunately, did not taice•fire and
were but slightly damaged.
Mr. W. J. Elliott, Principal of the
(ventral Business College, Stratford,
Ontario is certainly a strong believer
in newspaper advertising as his ad-
vertisements may be seen in nearly all
the newspapers of Western Ontario.
His school is well known from one
end of Oana,da to the other, and it en-
joys an excellent reputation for first-
class work. Write to the Principal
for a catalogue if you intend taking -a
course in a business college.
Changes.
Many can '?emember when even the
use ofan organ in church services was
thought not to be in keeping with the
sacredness of religions worship, One
of the latest departures is that of a
New York church, which engaged "a
young woman, nineteen years of age,
in a pure white dress," to give velvety
to the Sabbath de'votious by "whist-
ling solos." How "whistlingsolos"
eau aid true devotion, it is difcult for
old-fashioned churchgoing people to
understand.

A. L, Hamilton returned on Friday
last from tia two weeks' trip through
Dakota and other western states. Ile
travelled a long distance, but saw no
better crops than farmers are blessed
with in Huron county.
Ontario Wheat.
The bulletin issued by the Ontario
Government gives a .good report of
Ontario's crops. Regarding wheat, it
is said, that it is years since there has
been such an abundant yield for the
a.'•reage as there'. is in f ntello this
year. Threshing is well under way in
many localities, and individual reports
received at the Department of Agri-
culture give a yield of from 40 to 60
bushels per acre. 40 bushels per acre
has hitherto been considered a big crop
and the average is about 25 bushels per
acre.
How To Do It.
"Judge" a comic paper published in
the United States has the following on
-Two John Smiths," which aims a
crack at the Trusts—"John. Smith
number one stole a chicken. He was
sent to jail for 30 days. While there
he reformed and became another man.
He became John Smith number two,
John Smith No.2 organized a Chicken
Trust, took two million chickens as
his fee for organizing it, and sold the
chickens when the market was at its
highest. Thus he was enabled to en-
dow the jail with a library.
Married.
To -day (Thursday) a happygather-
ing assembles at Mr. Wm. Wellwood's
West Wawanosh. to witness the mar-
riage of his daughter, Margaret S. to
Mr. Jas. H. Tigert, Particulars later.
The Advance extends congratulations.
Wealth, Not All.
John Henry, the richest man in Oar-
negie, Pa., was recently struck by a
train and fatally injured. As be lay
dying he offered $100,000 to anyone
who would save his life. There comes
a time when even wealth is useless,
and when life is more valuable than
millions.
Successful Again.
Wingham School is to the front
again with successful pupils at the re-
cent examinations, Wesley Ansley,
May Hogg, Ethel Musgrove and Mabel
Walsh succeeded in passing Part II.
Junior Leaving, which entitles them
to a Second class certificate, and after
attendance ata Model'School they will
he qualified as Public School teachers.
Their success is not only a well -merited
reward for their diligence in study,
but reflects credit on their teacher,
Principal ,Musgrove, who spared no
effort to enture their success. It
should be remembered also, that for
only part of the terns had the Princi-
pal any assistance in his department.
With the additional equipment, the
school is now iu better condition than
ever to do effeotide work in the ad.
vanced course of study,

Windsor on Tuesday and Wednesday
of last week. Over three hundred del-
egates were present. From the High
Chief Ranger's report, we glean the
following :—"The Order has a member-
ship of over 200,000, and after having
distributed to the beneficiaries of de-
ceased brothers, the enormous sum of
$12,000,000, they have back of all
"promises to pay" the magnificent,
surplus of $5,654.606,03. And although
the Order is now over a quarter of a
century old with a membership of
over 200,000. less than 8,000 are over 54
years of age and of that number Less
than 2,000 are over 60 years of age, and
the average age of the membership is
ander 80 yrs. Six years ago, the mem-
bership was 97,000, with a surplus of
51,794,340, so that the I.O.F. has been
making rapid strides, until it now
stands foremost among the great in-
stitutions of the world, encircling the
world in its embrace, accomplishing
the noblest work man can do." A
resolution of "Congratulations to the
King" met with hearty approval, the
members rising to their feet and vig-
orously singing the National Anthem.
There were two invitations presented
from cities desirous of entertaining

cillor, installed the newly elected offic-

day el'osed arrangements for the
establishing of a factory of the Na-
tional Cross -Ply Veneer Company,
Limited, at New •Westminster, for
the exporting of tea chests to Jae,

It will be seen by the name how fond
Mr, Bullock is of the word "National,"
It is tobe hoped that New Westmins-
ter people .will not witness such a sod-
den collapse of their tea-chest factory
as Win hang .did of Bullock's National
Iron Works scheme, which brought
serious loss not only to the town, but
to many private individuals who in-
vested money in the bubble, The des-
patch does not say whether the tea-
chest factory will be opened with the
doxology, brass band, ppresentations,
processions, and grand display of fire-
works, or not. It is equa ly silent as.
to whether New Westminster Conned
will be given agrand free banquet,
neither does it name the distinguished
person who is to "touch the button'
and set the ponderous "tea -Chest" ata-
king machinery in motion. We must
wait, for the next despatch for these
interesting particulars.

Buffalo Excursion.
The I. O. F. excursion to 13uifalo on
Saturday last was rather slimly at-
ronized.. Either the place selected Is
not a popular one with the public, or
else the time was too short for fully
advertising the excursion. There
have been a number of excursions this
summer and that may have had some-
thing to do with the small patronage
given this one.
Painful 'feud.
Mre. Robt. Johnston has suffered a
great deal from the results of a broken
needle that penetrated one of her
hands. while washing, a few weeks
ago. It was supposed that the needle
tied been all extracted, but as the hand
continued very painful, and there were
symptoms of blood poisoning. the hand
was cut open and another piece of the
needle found. She is still having the
hand treated, The swelling extended

Working -man's Loss.
It is estimated that the recent com-
bine of the manufacturers of harvest
machinery in the United States will
throw teff thousand men out of em-
ployment. Those inclined to look
ahead a few years wonder what will
the final ontcome of the present rapid
development of the "combine craze,
and the multiplication of machines
displacing labor. Will the working-
man get a chance 'to live, move and
have a being in this world at all, or
must he give up, the struggle ? The
'present outlook indicates a crisis in
the near future:
Accident.
Wm. Deyell met with a heavy fall
on Saturday. He was working at a
htiilding of F. G. Sparliug's'near the
Salt Works, when he fell, striking the
joists on his side, and breaking several
ribs. The accident laid him aside for
awhile, but we hope soon to see him
at work again.
Western Foundry.
'What was known as the National
Iron Works will be known as the
Western Foundry shops. Mr. Cun-
ningham is at work, and expects to
have goods ready for the fall trade.
The Advance wishes the enterprise
success, Additions will he made to
the buildings, and new ntachluery sill
be necessary.
Remember Mulholland of Gorrie is
making photos that please. All ready
now for the fall trade, with new
mounts, etc. A trial order solicited.
At the Supreme Grand Lodge of the
Sons of England, held in Winnipeg
last week, John Aldridge of Toronto
was elected Supreme president. Mr.
,Aldridge is known to W inghamites as
the gentlemanly contractor for the
National Iron Works.
This week Ball Bros. enter on their
third year of business in Wingham.
By careful attention to business and
fair dealing, they have increased what
was already a successful business.
That, they may continue to prosper is
the wish of the Advance.

Presentation.
On Wednesday of last week, Mr.
Harold,, G. T. R. agent here, went to
Bengali to remove his family and fur-
niture to Wingham. The Presbyterian
Sunday School, of which he had been
superintendent, and the citizens of
Hensall hadprepared practical evi-
dences of their esteem for him and ex-
pressions of regret at his departure.
At the close of the prayer -meeting,
Mr. Harold was presented with a
kindly -worded address, and the follow-
ing selection of books :—Culture and
Restraint (Black), Friendship (Black),.
Bible Characters (White), Royal Man-
hood (Vance), Influence of Christ in
Modern rnLife (Hillis till

-
gelinn(Drummond Studies in Pot -
Graft of Christ, G vols. (Mathison), Vil-
lage Work in India (Mussel), Men of
Might in India Missions (fioleeme),
The Land and the Book (Thompson).
Later, the same evening, a represents -
tire gathering of business men was
held in the Hall. An addreee was read
by G. McEwen, M, Y.,1 expressing the
regret felt by the citizens at Mr. liar,
old's departure, and : referring to the
fact that, as a citizen: 'business man
and worker in church life, he would be
greatly missed, Qn behalf .of the citi-
zens, Mr. Harold was asked to accept
a Cabinet of sterlingSSilver,:containing
ell pieces on each of which is inscribed
Mr. Harolds monogram, The Cabinet
itself is of quartered oak with silver
plate, with name of recipient engraved.
One cannot sever connections of years'
standing in`which have been formed
friendships tested and tine, without
regret ; nevertheless, we have no doulit
that Mr.Harold will speedily make
new friends in:,Winghain, while not
forgetting those in Hensall. It is gra-
tifyiug to the business men here that
they have to do business with one who
during fourteen years won the esteem
of the citizens of Hensall to the extent
indicated by the addresses and presen-
tations. Mr. Harold is getting settled
in the house on corner of John and
Shuter streets, formerly occupied by
Conductor Quirk.

FROM ALGOMA,
Algoma, Aug. £l,'02.
To Editor Advance
Dear Sir, -I am just now sitting on
the highest point of a great mountain
of rock, that covers over 300 acres and
rises in three 'places to .a height of over
300 feet. From my present position I
can look over other large bluffs' and
see quite distinctly islands in the
North Channel fully twenty miles
distant. Apeculiarity of some of the
largest "bluffs" here, is that they are
north perpendicular then t n
earl a n i u n
nearly p 3
east, and slope gradually to the smith
and west. Years ago great bush fires
swept over these "bluffs" destroying
most of the valuable pine forests and
burning up the earth, leaving the
rocks quite bare. Fortunately the
fires did very little damage inthevat-
ieys, leaving much valuable pine
ne and.
spruce, also hemlock. Bat a ks
our government, that professes to be
so interested in "New Ontario"the.
farmer derives little or no revenue
from the sale of pine or spruce.. A
settler must even pay a toll on any
pine and spruce that he disposes of,
that has been untouched by the "time
her limit" friends of the government.
A farmer in this section cut down two
pine trees and sold them for $21.; The
government agent relieved him of $t•1
'toll, Only $7 went into the farmers'
pocket to pay him for cutting this
timber, This system, you see, leaves
the settler with a• few acres of cleared
land and nothing much in his pocket
for all his hard work. Mr. Fyfe:and I..
find it quite interesting exploring the
caves, canyons and passes to be found
in these mountains of rock. Small
fruit grows here in abundance, and
just now farmers are busy.gathering a
supply of huckleberries, raspberries,
thimbleberries,, etc.W.ild cherries,
elderberries, and suger-plums (a small,
red fruit)' are very,pi.entiful,
Nearly all the farmers in this 'section
of country were,formerly residents of.
Huron county. Pante of `hctr- haVo
been here for nearly a, quarter of a
century.
The Methodist' and Presbyterian
churches have a number of mission
stations here, and are doing good
work. I was pleased to make the ac-
quaintance of Mr, Morton of York Co.,
who has been sent by the Toronto
Conference of the Methodist church to
take charge of three stations here. He
is quite young for so important a
work, and was licensed as local prea-
cher only last May ; but lie is a hard
worker and will do good here. particu-
larly amongst the miners. He is mak-
ing an effort to supply the miners with
good literature. Will our Wingham
friends kindly help him by forwarding
to Ilydal Bank P. O., Algoma, any
magazines or other literature they
think will be suitable?
Yours truly,
JOHN. KERIR.
