The trustees of Lints' school, Car- rick, have engaged George Stewart son of Rev, A. C. Stewart of Delmore, for teacher for 1903. at a salary of $800. There were over 80 applications in answer to the advertisement. A. sentiment quill pusher out West asks ; "Are there any sweeter words than these, "I love you?" Perhaps not 'but just at present the words, "Here's that dollar 1 owe you on subscrip- tion,' are not lacking in delightful enunciation to our ears.

Sugar Beet Test. Prof, Harcourt, of the Ontario Agri- cultural College, has made Itis report to the Department of Agriculture on the results of the tests made in grow- ing sugar beets on experimental plots at Markham, Brantford, Brussels, Guelph, St. Catharines and Orange- ville. The percentage of sugar in the juice averaged 16 2, and in the :natter of purity scored from 86 to 88. The yield per acre varied from 14 tons 470 pounds per acre at Orangeville, to 17 tons 03 pounds at Markham. This is considered highly satisfactory how- ever. as 12 tons per acre is a paying yield. Shot Himself. Tuesday's daily papers contained an account of the suicide of Thos. Howarth, banker. of Oakville, who was employed at one time as clerk in Scott's bank, Wingham. Deceased appears to have been greatly worried over fluancial difficulties, and for some days he had been in a state of des- pondency, On Monday morning he received a letter that caused him much concern. Shortly after 12 o'clock he shot himself iu the temple, and though medical assistance was immediately summoned, there was no chance of saving his life. Deceased was in his 52nd year. He leaves a widow and three children. His only daughter was present when the fatal shot was fired.

The Huron, Bruce and Grey Electric Railway, which is to run from the southern boundary of Huron to Owen Sound, via Goderich, asked for assis- tance from the town to the extent of $5.000, and considerable interest was taken in the result of the vote. At the close of the poll it was found that the railway by-law had been sustained by a vote of 441 to 101, and the organ factory by-law -law approvedofby was 512 to 92. Huron, .County Second.

On Friday evening Last a public meeting was held in the Opera house in the interests of Prohibition. Rev, J. 3, Patterson, 13. A. gave an excel- lent address on the evils of the bar- room. Rev. D. Perris followed with - an interesting outline of the early his- tory of license, and a consideration of the objections urged against the proposed law. There was a large at- tendance, and the addresses were lis- tened to very attentively, Miss Reid and Mrs. hope favored the audience with solos. Another meeting was held on Wednesday eve'g., addressed by Rev. R. Hobbs and Dr. Macdonald on the subject at issue. This meeting was also welt attended, and enlivened with vocal selections excellently ren- dered by Miss L. Graham and :Miss W. Alba Chisholm. Municipal. Though within a few weeks of Nomination, very little stir is notice able in municipal matters. Mayor Vanstone has presided in a most gentlemanly and efficient manner at the deliberations of the Council. While ready at all times to give advice, there has been no attempt to force iris ideas on any subject, upon the Council, and should he be willing to accept, we see no reason why Mayor Vanstone should not be re. elected by acclamation. The other members of the Council have been attentive to duty, and none of then: have had "axes to grind," It is easy for those who never attend a Council meeting to find fault, but, a newspaper reporter in touch with the proceedings at every Council Meeting, is in the best position to pulp, and we must say that every expenditure has been considered with a view to the best interests of the town. The Council as Well as electors regret the illness W that has prevented Conn. "Vain Steno from being present for several meet- ings recently.

WATERWORKS AND SEWER. By -Laws to be Voted on January Fifth. Next. The report of Engineer W. M, Davis of Berlin, on the cost of waterworks 'and the trunk sewer, was submitted to the Council on Monday evening, and we give its chief points for the infor- mation of our readers. As in preliminary survey report, the source of supply recommended is springs in the west part of the town. In June the capacity of these springs was 260,000 gallons daily; in Novem- ber, 210,000 gallons. The estimated daily consumption of water will not exceed 120,000 gallons for some years to come, so that the supply is ample. The plan is to collect the water in these springs with a concrete receiv- ing basin near the power -house, from whence it would be pumped to a stand- pipe on the hill in eastern limit of to wn. The engineer reports the present pumping po;ver sufficient, but the lo- cation of the power -house should be changed to the other side of the river to avoid danger to water supply in case of darn being washed away. The standpipe should hold 120,000 gallons. The pumps operating two or three hours daily would keep this full. STORM -DRAIN, Instead of carrying the spring flood from the north end of the town down a sewer on Josephine St„ the engineer recommends a "storm drain" from Al- fred St. to the river westward. TRUNK SEWER, The trunk sewer on Josephine street would begin at Alfred street and have its outlet on Scott street near the gra- vel pit. A cellar drain (6 inch) should be laid in the same trench. DISPOSAL OP' SEWAGE, This would be accomplished by bac- terial purification by means of septic tanks, with capacity for 24 hours' sew- age, and the filtration beds would pro- vide for 80,000 gallons per acre daily. All the organic matter would be liqui- fied, and then conveyed to the river, harmless. This plan can be operated without, nuisance. The purchase of the gravel pit and two acres of land would be necessary, ESTIMATED COST OF WATERWORKS.

For Waterworks alone $21,000 " Storm Drain ..... . .. 1,146 " Trunk Sewer. 2,747 " Sewage disposal works and contingencies 2.702 Total for all of above $27,655 The waterworks could be used with- out the trunk sewer, but the sewer would be no use without the water- works. The waterworks system would in- clude fire protection and water for household purposes, As will be seen by minutes of the Council, By-laws for the waterworks and trunk sewer will be submitted to the property owners on January 5th next. The By-law for the waterworks will he found in.the Advance, and that for the sewer in the Times, so that electors can make themselves conver- sant with then. For information we may say—that for the waterworks, the sura of $1,- 21443, raised annually for thirty years, will provide both interest and sinking fund. This would be about 21- mills on our present aseessinent. But the ex- perience in other towns is that the waterworks not only become self- supporting, but, in many cases pro- duce a revenue for the town, and there seems to be no reason why in Win han h i they y prove r eve other- g wise. If ever Wingham is to have a sewer system; there must be a beginning, and the tennis sewer proposed is that commencement. To cover its cost, the sunt of $318.07 would have to be raised yearly to provide interest and sicking feud. So that for an expellcliture of about $1,532.50 annually, Wingham could have water for domestic purposes, first-class fire protection and a trunk sewer, with prospects of an income front the former that in a few years would more than cover the cost of both, Wingham property owners should think the matter over carefully, and decide itccordingly. The vote will be taken January 5th next, The fun still continues at the lion: Block Sale—funny prices, Dales e did not steal tate goods 1 Nor is he Making much money 1 The goods I. must go 1 $1.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE This Kind Pays.

Donations sent to Mr. Douglas Davidson, Sec'y.- Treasurer of the Hospital, College Street, Toronto, will be acknowledged in the Toronto Telegram. Opportunities. Opportunities are like railway trains which come to meet only those who wait for them at the proper place. Ile who sits still all his life waiting for an opportunity to do something great is like a man who should say he had no chance to travel by rail, because the train did not draw up at his front gate. Opportunities await every per- son. The wise man goes to meet them, watches for their arrival, and takes advantage of theta ; the foolish one sits still and abuses his bad luck because no opportunity come to him.
