The debate held in Victoria hall on
Wednesday evening of last week was
a decided success in every respect.
The evening was fine and a large audi-
ence was present, a few from Brussels
being included. An opening chorus
was given by Messrs. Ruttan & Eck -
ruler called "The Land of the Maple,"
with violin accompaniment, and re-
ceived loud applause. There were also
selections given on violin, guitar and
organ by Messrs. Ruttau and Miss
Ruttan, which were much appreciat-
ed. Misses Scott and Snell sang a
pretty duett, entitled "Sweet Evening
Bells." Miss Peacock gave a rousing
recitation on "Canada," which could
not fail to arouse any one's patriotism.
Juts. Strachan sang a solo, entitled
"Scotland forever." Then followed
the debate—"Resolved that Canada
has a brighter future than United
States." Messrs. S. Lamont and Robt.
Simpson argued the affirmative side,
while Messrs. P. McArthur and Thos.
Bennett upheld the negative. It was
a close contest, but at the close the
affirmative side was proclaimed vic-
torious. Judges were Messrs. F. Bry-
ans, A. Pollock and J. Hogg. The
program was then proceeded with.
.Miss Winnie McGuire gave an Irish
recitation and certainly kept up her
good reputation. George Ruttan of
Lakelet gave a violin solo with organ
accompaniment which was highly ap-
preciated. Miss McGuire gave an-
other comic recitation, and lastly was
a comic reading given by Thos. Ben-
nett, upholding the Yankees, which
brought down the house. The Na-
tional Anthem was then heartily sung
which brought to a close a very plea-
sant and profitable evening's enter-
tainment.

was between two individuals. The

THE WINGHAM ADVANCE — THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1906
Whitechurch. East Wawanosh.
George McClenaghan spent Sunday
Last at dos, \V'ellwood's, Culross.
Mr, John Rolston of Howick is visit-
ing with his son-in-law, R. Henderson,
this week.
We are very sorry to learn that Mr.
John Crowston of Lan sids i
slar
d up
with n broken leg.
Three or four of our leading business
men, having taken shares in the Hen-
derson Roller Bearing Co., are now
realizing the uncertainty of specula-
tion. We understand the concern is a
failure.
Miss Addie McOlenaghan, who was
intending to take a trip to California
this winter to visit her sister, Mrs. E.
Pelton, but was prevented by sickness,
is, we are glad to say,quite well again
but the trip is indefinitely postponed.
Things are taking a change on the
4th con. of Kinloss this Spring. Mr.
J. A. Taylor has sold his farm to Mr.
Richardson of the 6th of Culross for
$5,500. Mr. Taylor intends moving to
Edmonton, Alta., in March. Mr. G.
Tiffin has rented his farm to Mr. Nay-
lor of the boundary line, and also in-
tends going West. Mr. Wm, Hether-
ington, who moved on the farm for-
merly owned by Jas. Thompson, has
also sold out with a view of moving
westward.
The mild winter is making the har-
vesting of ice a precarious business.
The severe frost of last week, how-
ever, made a good layer of ice, about
nine inches in thickness and as clear
as glass. Mr. H. McKay has the con-
tract of putting up the ice at the but-
ter factory, and is rushing it in. He
has five teams employed. The ice-
house is about full, but the refrigerator
is still empty. Mr. McKay is drawing
the ice from Lncknow. The roads are
very poor for sleighing, and are get-
ting worse every day ; the loads they
bring are small, considering the dis-
tance.
It is commonly reported that an-
other of those very pleasing events we
so often read about lately, took place
at the home of Mr. G. Gillies of Luck -
now, late of the 2nd con., Kinloss, on
Wednesday, Feb. 7th, when his daugh-
ter Lizzie, and Mr. Wes. Moore of this
neighborhood, were united in the holy
bonds of matrimony. If the report is
true (which we have not been able to
ascertain for certain) we extend to the
young couple our congratulations and
best wishes for their future happiness.
If not true, the young people may re-
tain those good wishes until such time
as the happy event does take place.
Kinloss township is on the eve of a
municipal election. Mr. A. Salmon,
one of the present Council, having dis-
posed of his farm with the intention
of moving to the township of Bruce,
has handed in his resignation, there-
fore the,electors are, by proclamation,
invited to attend at the Township
Hall, Holyrood, on Wednesday, Feb'y
14th, to nominate a man to take his
place, and in case more than one is
nominated a poll will be taken on the
21st of February. The writer would
be pleased to have someone appointed
in this vicinity, as this corner of the
township has been practically unre-
presented since Mr. Henry stepped out
over a year ago.
Fon SALE.—Lot 18, con. 7, Turn -
berry, one hundred acres, nearly all
cleared ; in grass many years ; good

Quite a number of logs have been
placed in the saw -mill yard the last

supply of logs is by no means
bright.

fortunate ones.

Those who failed to hear the debate
at Roe's Epworth League last Tues-
day evening, certainly missed the
most interesting debate of the season.

a better sovereign than Queen Vic-
toria." The negative was upheld by

Miss May Hogg, Miss Susie Pearson
and Jas. Hogg. Both sides put up a
strong contest, thoroughly explaining
why they thought their Queen was
the better sovereign. Messrs. Geo.
Johnston, John Strachan and Fraser

their decision in favor of the affirma-
tive. Mr. S. Lamont acted as critic
and entertained the large audience
with his criticisms and yokes, while
the judges were doing their part.
The chairman, Rev. E. F. Armstrong,
requested that a congregational sing-
ing of the Glory Song would be a
change on the programme, and to say
