The service here on Sunday night was taken by Mr. Carr of Wroxeter, - who gave a very impressive address n waslistenedto. dust and va earnestly before the close of the service, Miss Jessie Strachan sang a solo entitled "A dream of Paradise," which was - highly appreciated, Next Sunday evening, the service will be eonductet`I by Bev.. Mr. Perrin of Wroxeter, 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.

Abram Cools has purchased the Frain property of 2 acres, Turnberry St., opposite his own residence. J. H. Cameron was appointed a Co. Examiner by the County Council.. He has filled the position for years.

Robb's farm the other day examining the ice crop, which he is having stored in his cold storage building, when he took an involuntary bath through some thin ice. Conrad Engel of Grey has purchased the farm belonging to a Mr. Clark, in the 13th con. ; price, in the neighbor- hood of $5,000. It is a good farm, but Conrad will make it better. This makes him the possessor of 165 acres of fine land. The Town Council last Monday night had rather a stormy time in selecting a town caretaker. The contention was between two individuals. The lucky one, by the casting vote of the Reeve, is Robert Oliver ; salary, $400 per annum. He takes charge on the 1st of March. We are sorry to say that, through illness, Miss Jessie Robertson, the lan- guage teacher in our school, has to re- sign her position. The School Board has been very fortunate in procuring the services of Miss Martin from Bruce Mines, who comes with excellent re- commendations. Geo.

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 soil and well watered. Terms to suit purchaser.—H. DAVIS, Wingham. • Morris.

Bolger, 8th line, who has been laid up for the past 8 months from a trouble in his right knee, caused by a twist in playing a game of ball in Manitoba, is improv- ing but is still under the doctor's care.

Mr. Ferrand appeared in reference to a settlement of his claim for dam- ages on account of the construction of Lamont drain. It was decided that the Reeve confer with the Reeve of Grey in respect to the matter. Mr. Derr appeared in reference to township printing and stated that on account of the advance in prices of labour and material he could not do the work for the money offered, but would agree to do the sumo for $40, On motion of Kelly and Campbell, Mr. Derr was allowed $40 for the work.

No. 3, East Wawanosh and Morris, as petitioned for by John Williams and Thos. W. Noble at lust Council meeting. They (Messrs. 1'ieGill and Toll) would not oppose the change asked for if the N, lot 41, con. 3, and N: lot 40, con. 4, were taken from Un. No. 3 and placed in S. S. No. 10 in- stead. Further action in this matter deferred for the present. Com. from D. E. Munro, Auburn, received, requesting and asking for a further grant from the township in aid of the Auburn public library.

Mr. Dobson of Fordwich, occupied the Presbyterian pulpit on Sunday last, Mr. Perrin taking up Mr. Dob - son's duties. Last week the old foundry and con- tents and a dwelling house were ex- posed for sale, but as the reserved bid was not reached, there was no sale. We hear that a dress -making and millinery establishment will shortly be opened in the store next to the Post -office. The ladies of the village and district will appreciate this. We regret to hear tnat Mr. W. S. McKercher, secretary of the Howick Mutual Fire Insurance Company, has been on the sick list these last few days. At time of writing, he is some- what better. The farm stock and implements of Robt. Miller, J. P. and County Coun- cillor, were sold last Thursday. The day was fine and it was a wonder where all the people who were there came from ; everything was sold and good prices were realized. Quite a number of logs have been placed in the saw -mill yard the last few days, but the weather at time of writing is like the end of April, and if it lasts the sleighing cannot con- tinue. The look -out for the usual supply of logs is by no means bright. Mr. John McFarlan of New Ontario, is at present in our midst ; his farm is within 7 miles of Cobalt, and may contain some of the silver ore, with which the district abounds. He gives a lowing account of its resources, and we hope he may be one of the fortunate ones. h - , Howick. Council meets in Fordivich, Febru- ary 17th.

"Resolved that Queen Elizabeth was a better sovereign than Queen Vic- toria." The negative was upheld by Miss Clara McQuarrie, John Pearson and Fred. Bryans ; the affirmative 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 McDonald acted as judges and gave 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 that all heartily responded would be patting it mild. After announce- ments and hearty vote ofthanks to all who took part in the debate and to the sister League from Ethel, one of the most profitable evenings in the history of Roe's League was brought ttoheamclose. by singing the National An - 1: Salem.
