The Auditors refer to two matters
that should receive the attention of

for building a vault for the better se-
curity of papers, books, mortgages,

itself to the Council for prompt action,

The Obis Won.
A friendly contest has been going
on in the local Royal Templar lodge,
between the boys and the girls, as to
who could do the most. for the Order,
by the way of regular attendance, pre-
paration of program, and bringing in
new members. The girls are rejoicing
over the fact that they won, and now
they want the boys to furnish the
oysters,
Social Evening.
A social was held in the Presby-
terian church on Monday evening,
tinder the auspices of the Young
People's Guild. Rev. D. Perrie gave
an interesting address, and a very
good progr>axn was presented. The
object of the social was to assist in
renovation of the Sun11y School
room. On account of the unfavorable
weather, the attendance was not as
large as was expected.
From The Yukon.
The Advance was favored on Tues-
day, with a call by Bishop Stringer,
who has been active in mission work
in the Yukon. He has been spending
a few months in Ontario, and on 'Tues-
day evening, delivered an interesting
address in St. Paul's church. He was
accompanied, end assisted in the ser-
vice by Rev. W. H. Hartley of Blyth.
Bishop Stringer purposes returning to
the Yukon in a few weeks, to resuute
his work there. Mrs. Stringer accom-
panies the Bishop.
Low Rate Of Mortality.
During the first three months of
1906, there were in Wingham two
deaths of adults and two infants ; one
of the latter was the child of a tran-
sient boarder in town. So that, not-
withstanding much sickness from la
grippe, there has been a comparatively
low mortality. During the same
three months there were sixteen in-
terments in Wingham cenneteryy, as
compared with 20 in the first three
months of 1905, but nearly all of them.
were from the surrounding country
and some from a distance.

Hospital For Wingham.
4n intimated Bast Week, there is a
movement on foot to establish a hos-
pital in Wingham. $5,000 is required,
and an effort is being made to secure
twenty-five subscribers for $200 each.
A. building that Haight be made suita-
ble for the purpose can be secured for
$3,000, and the remaining $2,000 would
probably put it in proper shape, for
the reception of pittients.
i unnedy. is taking fyi; +letiye part in
tY}el froinetlon olltct'priie, end
at lalst taceetlgts was succeeding very
well with the list. This town is cen-
trally located, and if Clih;tnn, Walker-
ton and other Owes can maintain an
institution of that kind, there should
be no difficulty in establishing one in
Wingham, In ease of an operation
being necessary, a suitable place near
at hand, and also facilities, would
then be available, and this would he
an advantage to the patient, as well
its to the attending physician.

Tannery Purchased..
Mr. W. D. Pringle has purchased
from W. J. Chapman, the tannery pro-
perty on Victoria street. We under-
stand that the -consideration was $2,-
500. Mr. Pringle has more orders for
leather than he can fill, and is kept
very busy. We are pleased to see
success attending his energetic efforts.

A few pleasant hours were spent by

F., on Thursday evening last, A num-
ber of the brethren of the three links
carne over from Teeswater, and some
of theta received degrees. After the
Lodge closed, the members and the
visitors enjoyed a supper at Moore's
restaurant. The exchange of social
- amenities caused the evening to pass
very enjoyably.
SPRING RAINS will soon be here,
but by securing one of D. M. Gordon's
beautiful and most fashionable Rain
Coats, you will be protected and sea-
sonably attired.
Firemen Prompt,
On Thursday, shortly after the noon
. bell had been rung, the alarm of fire
was given, and the firemen promptly
responded. The blaze was in the roof
of the engine house of the Bell fac-
tory, It was apparently caused. by
dust near the boilers igniting. In a
short time, the firemen would have
had a disastrous fire on their hands.
Two streams of water soon exting-
uished the fire, but not until the roof
of the engine house had been badly
damaged. Had the fire occurred at
night with a west wind, the factory
would have probably been destroyed.
Lecture By Judge Barron.
His Honor, Judge Barron of Strat-
ford, will deliver a lecture in the Town
Ball, Wingham, in the evening of
Tuesday, April 17th. The subject will
be—"A wee bit of the Empire." Not
only will the subject be interesting,
bat the object of the gathering is com-
mendable, as the receipts will be de-
voted to the purchase of tents for
tuberculosis patients. After the ad-
dress, His Honor will speak on the
importance and free use of tents for
the prevention and cure of this dis-
ease. Silver collection at the door.
Chair taken at 8 o'clock by Rev. D.
Perrie.
Bereft Of Father.
Rev. T. S. Boyle was summoned to
St. Catharines last week to the bedside
of his father, who was seriously i11.
A note from Mr. Boyle, on Monday,
conveyed the sad intelligence that his
father passed away on Sunday morn-
ing, in his 71st year. Deceased was a
retired farmer, residing iu St. Cathar-
ines, a life-long Conservative, and an
Orangeman for many years. Rev. Mr. -
Boyle will be home in time for the ser-'
vices in St. Pant's on Good Friday and
Easter Sunday. His parishioners and
the citizens generally will sympathize
with him in the bereavement through
which he is passing.

Water Rates.
As Wingham will soon have a print-
ed schedule of water rates, the follow.
ing figures (collected by the Bruce
Herald) are the charges made in other
places, and may be of interest to our
citizens. We presume, however, that
these charges include water for domes-
tic: purposes, which our citizens can-
not have yet. For service for eight -

A Timely Word.
At the Spring Assizes as Guelph,
Hon. Sir Wm, Matlack, Chief Justice
of the Exchequer Division, uttered
words of warning to parents in refer-
ence to the training of children. In
addressing the jury, Itis Lordship rp-
viewed tits

ing is timely for there is at present a
growing laxity in parental discipline.
Children do not show that respect to
strangers or even to their parents,
that they slid many years ago.
Actions and conduct on the part of
children that would not have tolerat-
ed years ago, are now passed over, or
regarded as "smart". "Street educa-
tion" and bad company are gradually
deteriorating chins life and ehnr'ncter
in many cases. '.Ve fear that in this

A Sister Qone.
Mrs. Fred. Johnston received word
on Monday morning of the death of
her sister, 'in Toronto, Mrs. Chris.
2ilnax, late of Listowel. Deceased
had recently undergone an operation
in the Western•ltospttal, and was re-
ported to be doing nicely, so that the
sad news of her death was quite unex-
pected. She was in her 43rd year. In
response to the telegram, Mrs. John-
ston and her mother (who was visiting
her at the time) hastened to Toronto,
The funeral took place on Tuesday
from the late residence on College
street to Mt. Pleasant cemetery,
Address 00 Missions.
On Monday evening, Wingham Ep-
worth League listened to an excellent
address on "Money and Missions."
The speaker was Mr. 0. B. Keenley-
side of London, who is an enthusiastic
worker in the Missionary cause. In
addition to the address, Miss Estelle
Griffin kindly favored the League
with an excellent solo, in her usual
fine style, and her kindness was ap-
preciated. Miss Lizzie Green and
Miss Elva Perrin also contributed
an instrumental deet. Refreshments
were served, so that altogether a very
pleasant and profitable evening was
spent.
Cut Out Black Knot.
At the last meeting of the Town
Council, the question of the rapid
spread of black knot iu cherry and
plum trees, was brought up. The
Chief has l istructions to carry out the
By-law in this respect, and he intends
to do so. It would be wise for those
who have trees infected with this pest
to cut it out at once. If they fail to
do so, the Chief intends to sec that it
is done, and charge the costs to the
person who disregards the law. The
disease is on the increase, and a few
careless persons may be the means of
hastening the destruction of other
fruit trees. "Cut it out," and do not
delay.
Fon SALn.—In Wingham, a good
brick residence, eight rooms, bath,
electric lighted, modern conveniences,
beautifully situated. This is a desixa-
blo property. Terms reasonable and
to suit purchaser. Address at Ad-
vance office.

ers for East and West Huron was held

considerable discussion, it was decided

thering temperance principles. The

dent—G. M. Elliott, Goderich ; Vice-

ed to bring it into force in other muni-
cipalities.

Watermaid Connections,
The Waterworks committee of the
Council were authorized to purchase a
machine for tapping the waterxnains
and making the connections. We un-
derstand that the committee have
made arrangements with Mr. Alex.
Yung, who will purchase the rna,-
chine and make the connections when
instructed to do so. This is perhaps a
better plan than for the town to pur-
chase the machine.
$32,009 la Cash.
Mr. W. H. Green (from whore the
Town purchased the Electric Light
plant for $28,000) is prepared to sub-
mit in writing, an offer to re -purchase
the plant 'for thirty-two thousand dol-
lars, cash down. He intends to snake
this offer at the next Council meeting.
Should the Town accept it, there
would bo plenty of money on hand to
build sewers and install domestic wat-
er service. Think it over.
