The Seaforth Expositor does not be- lieve in the usefulness of the Advisory Council, batt has very kind words to say of Principal Musgrove of Wing - ham, who is one of the candidates. The Expositor says —"But, if the Council can bem y ode of an nse, such xnen as Mr. Musgrove will aid materi- ally in making it useful. He is a gen- tleman who has made the teaching profession his life's work, and who has been a success in it and is both by training and general mental equip- ment well qualified to do good service in almost any department of our edu- cational system. The only objection we have to his appointment to the position named is that we would like to see hint in a position where his ex- perience, knowledge and ability could be used to better advantage in the public interests." "Mr. Musgrove was for five years teacher in School No. 3, Cnlross, where his services gave every satisfac- tion, and his long term in the Wing - ham school speaks well for his know- ledge of educational matters, his abili- ty and judgment. We are pleased to see that he has many influential friends 'Act do not hesitate to speak ..14 in his favor, and we have no hesita- tion in endorsing him as an eminently fit man for a position on the Board."— [Teeswater News. "Mr, Musgrove is an ex -president of the public school section of the On- tario Educational Association. He is a man who keeps himself thoroughly posted on passing events, a platform speaker of exceptional ability, and an able man in committee. He is most popular where he is best known. The press in Huron county is a unit in sounding his praises and fitness for the position."—[Brigden Progress. "Mr. Musgrove is well qualified for the position to which he aspires, hav- ing been identified with public schools for many years. He is not a faddist, but a solid, well-balanced, broad-guage educationist."—[Kincardine Review. PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD.

Terms — Twelve months credit on approved joint notes, An Experienced Hand. Mr. Page (formerly of Wingham) has been superintending the laying of cement sidewalks in Dauphin, Man. The Dauphin Free Press says—"When it is completed there will be in the neighborhood of 80,000 square yards. When the cottncil first contemplated putting down the walk, tenders were asked for but the prices were consid- ered too high, The lowest figures were about 21 cents per square foot. Tho council then decided to put the work down by day labor, and to sup- erintend the work, Mr, Wm, Page, a man of several years' experience in the east, was engaged. This proved to be agood stroke of business. The walk has not only been put down in a first-class manner but its a further re- sult the town will save several cents per yard in its Cost. Mr. Mage etas proved that he not only knows how to put down a granolithic walk well but that he also knows how to handle a gang of rnett to the best advantage and secure the maximum work at a minimum cost, The "Dissolution of Partnership Sale" at the "Big Store" will be continued for two weeks longer (to Ott. 27.) Great Slaughter of Prieto in Drew Goods) Clothing, Puri, Carpets, &c. Burned, Perhaps Fatally. A sad accident occurred on Monday evening in Culross. Mrs. John Mc- Allister was. lighting a lamp, when it exploded, throwing the burning oil all over her. Her clothing at once took fire, and she was soon a sheet of flame. Her daughters, who were milking .ran to her assistance, and wrapping a wet blanket around her extinguished the flames. At last ac- counts, she was burned so severely, that no hopes were entertained of her reco very. Business Purchased. Mr. England, of the Bee Hive, has purchased the stock of the Carey Dry Goods Co., and preparations are being made to take stock. We understand that Mr. England intends to keep both stores open, using the Carey stand for dry goods and the Bee Hive for gents' furnishings. Mr. Carey is an ener- getic, business -like young roan, and will find a good opening elsewhere. Mr. England has secured a good stock, and his announcement may be expect- ed next week. Municipal Election Dates. At the recent meeting of the On- tario Municipal Association a resolu- tion was adopted asking the govern- ment to fix the last Monday in No- vember as the day for holding munici- pal nominations and the first Monday in December as election day. This is the system that has been carried out throughout the entire West, and the easterners who have gone out west and who know anything of municipal politics world not now think of going back to the old system. The holiday season is not a time for affairs of such importance to be transacted. At that particular time many electors are ab- sent from home and there are many reasons more in touch with things en- tirely municipal why the earlier dates would be an improvement over those of the present. This is a question that will probably engage the attention of the Ontario legislature at its next ses- sion. SLAUGHTER SALE.— This sale in- cludes Dress Goods, Furs, Overcoats and Pea Jackets. Terms cash. G. E. King. The Storni. A heavy storm, continuing for several hours, passed over Wingham on Monday evening. The wind was high and the lightning terrifhc. The tower on Mr. Jobb's house was blown off, and telephone and electric light connections destroyed. The lightning also struck the barn of Mr. Lovell of Tnrnberry ; the building and contents were destroyed, and the loss to Mr. Lovell will be heavy. Part of the felt and gravel roof of the Union factory was stripped off, lotting a lot of the heavy rain into the interior. New roofing must be put on. This. storm was predicted by Prof. Hicks, and ac- cording to his calculations October has other atmospheric disturbances in store for us. One of the most dangerous storms of the month if not of the whole autumn is said to be due between the 16th and 20th, with earth quakes in some places. The storm ended in Wingham with several inches of snow. Will Go To China. The Christian Guardian has the fol- lowing referring to Miss Caroline Wellwood of Wingham : — "The Methodist Church is so fortunate as to have under appointment for China, a reinforcement of three young ladies —Miss Caroline Wellwood, of Wing - ham ; Miss Uberta Steele, of Mount Wolfe and Miss Hattie Woodsworth, of Toronto, who will sail for their field of labor early in . November. Miss %Vellwood's preparation for the field has covered one year in mission work at Philadelphia, the nurse dea- coness course at aThe National Train- ing -School for Missionaries and Dea- conesses," Washington, D. 0.—which included two years at Sibley Memorial Hospital, one year in the Bible -School, and being sent to Portland, Maine, to establish deaconess work in that city—deaconess to a medical mission in Boston, and head nurse at the Talitha Cunni Maternity Hospital of that city—in all term of eight years. A Novel Plan. A debt -collecting :agency, which is run as a part of the regular public postal system, is the newest "inl- proveinent" of the postoffices of Aus- tria. Despite the novelty of the en- terprise, the plan Inas worked admir- ably, so that thousands of pounds are collected annually by the postmen throughout the Austrian Empire. The system is very simple. Suppose a tradesman in Vienna has an account due from a customer in, say, such a distant town .a s Budapest, which he wishes to collect. Distance does not matter in the least. Ile merely sends the bill to the postoffiee in the capital, whence it is at once transmitted to the postoffiee at Budapest. There the postman presents it to the debtor, collects the cash and remits it to the Vienna postofllce, whence it is de- livered to the tradesman by postman. In the event of payment being refused which, of course, sometimes happens, the creditor is promptly apprised of the fact, and valuable time le thus fre- quently saved. Will Be Inducted. Whitechurch and Langsido Presby- terian congregations have extended a T call to Rev. G. P. Graham of loronto, who for 9 years was stationed in Union- ville. The salary offered is $900 and free manse in splendid condition, with five acres of land, and four weeks' holidays. Mr. Graham has accepted the call and Maitland Presbytery will meet at Whitechurch on October 10th at 3 p. in. to induct Mr. Graham. Whitechurch and I4angside Presby- terians are working congregations, and will, we trust, under their new pastor, continue their good work as faithfully as in the past. Prom Mr. Watt. The Advance is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Thos. Watt, who removed. to Mio, Michigan, where he is man- ager of a large dry goods business at a large salary. On his way, he stopped in Detroit, to purchase goods at the wholesale centres. Mio is the county town of Oscoda county. Mr. and Mrs, Watt had a pleasant trip to their new home, and at time of writing were much pleased with the city, which 1 quite progressive. The business over which Mr. Watt presides is large, and aconsiderable number of clerks have to be overseen. Mr. and Mrs. Watt were among Wingham's most esteem- ed citizens, and many regretted their removal. What Wingham lost, Mio has gained. In the meantime, the Advance will visit them weekly and keep them in touch with the Canadian town they have left. We have everything in Rubbers for everybody and this is the Rubber sea- son.—W. J. Greer. Coroner's Inquest. The inquest in the case of the death of James Jobb, who was killed on the night of the 28th ult., was continued on Wednesday evening last, the Coro- ner, Dr. J. P. Kennedy, presiding. The following witnesses were called— Chief Vannorman, Conductor Walker, Engineer Johnston, the fireman and brakesman of the C. P. R. train, Mr. Moffatt and Dr. J. E. Tamlyu. The witnesses were examined by County Crown Attorney Seager, and Mr. Dud- ley Holmes, representing the C. P. R. The jury brought in the following ver- dict : lst—That the death of James Jobb was caused by the C. P. R. pas- senger train at the crossing on Jose- phine street on the night of Sept. 28, 1900, about 10.55 p. rat. 2nd—That we attach no blame to the train crew, as all the usual warning signals appear to have been given. 3rd—We strong- ly recommend that a system of gates or flagmen be placed at the 0. P. R. crossings on Water and Josephine streets, as we regard these crossings as dangerous. The Almonte Fire. Mr. J. S. Timmins, who is well known in this vicinity, has sent us the following, in answer to many inquiries by letter from his friends here :— There was a big fire in Almonte on the morning of the 21st of September that consumed six dwelling houses and eight of the largest stores in the place, including hniton Timmins' gents' furnishing store, and the de- partmental store occupied by Timmins & Co. for eight years. Fortunately they had sold out their stock of mer- chandise amounting to $37,000 and got a cash cheque for $10,000, and the balance secured. On the 19th, they hacl given their successors, W. L. Bel - ten & Co., full possession of the stock and premises, just 14 hours before the fire originated in the back shed of a furniture store. As everything was dry, many had a close call in getting out with their lives ; nothing of any account was saved. Loss in stocks was not less than $125,000. Fulton Tirntnins, who carried a stock of about $7,000 and was insured for $5,500, has since got his cheque in full, so you will see the loss to us has not been very heavy. The origin of the fire is unknown, bet it being the last night of the fair, many who could not get beds were lying around sheds smok- ing, and this was supposed to be the cause. A First -Class Flume. This week W. II. Green has taken out the pine scantling used in building the cement flume fox' the waterworks, from the dam to the power -house. There was in all nearly 4000 feet of scantling used, and now that it has been removed, anyone who has seen cement work can judge of the work. The flume was built late last fall, now nearly a year ago, so that ft ]las stood the test well. On Monday last, the editor of the Advance had the oppor- tunity of going down into the flame and examining it, and if we are any judge, it is a first-class job and far superior to all iron flume, It is seven- ty feet long and seven feet diameter. Mayor Bell has inspected it and is well pleased with the work. As the editor, Mr. Green and Mr. I3rooks stood in the flume from which the water had been withdrawn, Harry Green took a flash -light photo of the group. The cement wort: is as hard as a rock, and a blow from an axe makes no impres- sion on it. It would have been a wise act if the Council had placed a short cement flume under the roadway at the trill; then no bridge would have been needed, and the work would have been permanent, WANTED.— Will pay the highest lprice for chickens and hens, to be de- ivered any day except Saturday. --.W, Armour it lion, 'Sudden Death. Death came very suddenly to Mr, Wm. Jaynes Johnston, sen„ of Dorris on Tuesdayevening. ev ntng. lIe had been in his usual good health; he ate his sup- per as usual, and walked up the road past Mr. Shaw's. Later, as ho was standing in tate woodshed, he was stricken with paralysis.six. Aphysician was summoned, but a few minutes after he arrived, the spark of life had fled. Mr, Johnston was one of the earliest settlers of Morris, having been in the township fifty-five years. com- ing to it when it was solid bush, Hard toil and frugality made for Mr. and Mrs. Johnston a comfortable home, and they raised a highly -re- spected family. Their home was al- ways open for ministers of the Church of their choice. Mi. Johnston had been Reeve of the township, and for many years an active official in the Methodist Church. Wherever he was known, he was greatly respected, as a man of sterling character. Besides his sorrowing partner, he leaves five sons and ,two daughters. The sons are—Robert and Hugh in Manitoba, Richard, Win. James and Silas of Morris; the daughters are—Mrs. Geo. Mothers and Mrs. Jas. Peacock. The funeral will take place on Sunday next: service at Johnston's church at half -past one o'clock. Mr, Johnston was 72 years of age. The family have sincere sympathy iu the trial that has come so suddenly upon them. Harvest Home Services. The Harvest Home Services at St. Paul's Church this year were very successful. On Friday evening last special Thanksgiving services were held, in which the Rector was assist- ed by Revs. Hartley, Rhodes, Lang - Ford and Sanders. The preacher was the very Rev. Dr. Farthing, Dean - Elect of Ontario. He delivered a splendid sermon on Psalm 103:1, which was listened to with eager attention. His subject was --Thanksgiving as an act of worship. He is possessed of a strong and magnetic voice, a good presence, Inas an excellent command of choice and forceful English. His sermon was a real treat, and was thoroughly appreciated. In spite of the unfavorable weather the church was full. Full congregations also greeted the Rev. W. J. Doherty, M. A., on Sunday. Mr. Doherty preach- ed two excellent sermons, appropriate to the occasion. It is evident that St. Paul's congregation will have only the best on these special occasions. The choir under Miss Houghton was in fine form, and the music was ex- ceptionally good. The collections were about $50 in advance of last year. The Harvest Supper on Mon- day night passed off very successfnlly and the Women's Guild have a neat sum to repay them for their trouble. Itas in all respects a most enjoy- able w- J Y able evening. Revs. Thos. Hicks and C. W. Sanders were present and gave addresses, and there was also a splen- did musical program rendered. Miscellaneous Brevities.
