Ensign Banks is the new com- mander of Wingham corps of the Salvation Army, The Band of the Army is quite an attraction on Satur- day evenings, Mr. Fitch will speak next Sabbath evening on "Civic Righteousness."

A religion that is up in tate clouds is of no use to anybody on the earth, and a, kind of religion that is covered under the debris of business cares seetus to be about as difficult to utilize as that which is out of reach. The re- ligion of the "golden rule" is not far from right. An English paper tells of Rev. Thos. Lord, who is ninety-eight years old, delivering two eloquent and fiery ser- mons on Sunday at Horncastle. He preached to a crowded church at both services. We may now ask if a man's usefulness in life is exhausted at the age of sixty-five, and what becomes of Dr, Osler's suggestion. Rev. W. G. Howson's sermon on Sunday morning on "The Love of the Spirit" was very helpful and along lines seldom touched. in the evening, his address on "Looking on the bright side of life" was listened to most at- tentively by a very large congrega- tion. Every seat was occupied, and chairs had to be brought in for use in the gallery. Rev. W. G. Howson, has during the past two months, received a large number of calls to preach and lecture at church anniversaries. One day this last week, 11e was asked to go all the way to New Liskeard in the Temiskaming district, about 400 miles away, to preach on Sunday, and lec- ture on the Monday evening- follow- ing. Owing to the lateness of the sea- son he has declined. GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY AT JAMES - TOWN EXPOSITION. The Local Markets.

Norfolk, Virginia.—Among the in- teresting transportation exhibits at the Jamestown Exposition, to bo held on the shores of Hampton Roads near Norfolk in 1907, will be that of the Grand Trunk Railway, the pioneer road of Canada and the only double track system of- that country.

Smith, southern passenger agent of the Grand Trunk System, and officials of the Jamestown Ter - Centennial were in conference at the Exposition headquarters in Norfolk some time ago, and it was then decid- ed by the company to erect a building, the plans for which to be immediately put into execution. The exhibit of the Grand Trunk Railroad will be unique in that it will contain enlarged pictures of the sum- mer resorts along their tracks, beauti- fully executed by noted artists, which in themselves will he works of art. Specimens of fish, game and other products so abundant in the regions through which the system passes will all he displayed. The feature of the display, however, will be the mineral exhibit. One from tbe great mines at Cobalt, called the "New Silverdale" on account of its Creat wealth of ore, will be made. This mine was opened Last year and is considered one of the richest silver fields in the world. At St. Louis the "Grand Trunk" made an exhibit which attracted wide attention and it is stated that the company intend to have an even more extensive display at the Jamestown Ter -Centennial. The Company has won gold medals at all of the previous Expositions and is at present making a large display at Milan, Italy. Unveiling.

This will probably close the bowling season of 1906. From Cape Town. 'Mr, Perfect has a letter from Cape Town, where he formerly resided. It gives a rather gloomy report of con- ditions there. Business is at a stand- still, and trade paralyzed. There had been a riot, the rioters making a de- mand on the Government, calling on the Premier to find employment. Shops were looted, and rioter's took what suited them, if their demands for food were refused. The writer judges from what Mr. Perfect writes and from papers sent him, that Cana- da is a. lovely country. So it is ; there is none better under the sun. Call at R. Johnston's Shoe Store and see his fine display of Fall Foot- wear. Newer styles and more pro- nounced values than you can get at any other store. Very Quick Work.

The building is 120 feet long, 43 feet wide and 21 feet high, It will require 75,000 feet of lumber and 955,000 bricks, Mr. Swarts thinks he will beat the new (?) postoffice yet, so far as finishing on time is con- cerned. The brickwork has been com- pleted and tbe men made a record by laying the 05,000 bricks in nine days. Mr, Swarts could give Sam. Cooper a few valuable hints on finishing post - office contracts. The Mayor's Vote. The following question and answer appeared in Saturday's Daily Mail - Empire. It will be noticed that it corroborates the explanation made in the Advance a short time ago, in re- ference, no doubt, to the same occur- rence: "W. N., Wingham—Question— Has a mayor of a town a right to vote on any question which comes be- fore the Council, and, in case of a tie, be having already voted, has he a right to give a second or casting vote. Answer The head of the Council, or presiding officer, or chairman of any meeting of any Council, may vote with the other members on all ques- tions, except where he is disqualified by reason of interest or otherwise. As a general rule any question upon which there is any equality of votes shall be deemed to be negatived. The Mayor or head of the Council has not a casting vote ; that is, he has not two votes in any case except where that power is expressly given to him by reason of his assessment being the Iargest, or from some other cause.

Jc13NSTON rms. fin, Two Runaway Accidents. On Saturday, Mrs. 3. W. Bone, of East 'Wawanosh, met with a serious accident. She was driving a horse and buggy north of the G. T. R. on Josephine street, and when she ap- proached the crossing was warned by the watchman, on account of an en- gine on the side-track moving slowly. She tried to stop, but the horse be- came excited, and dashed over the tracks, in front of the engine. The buggy struck a shade tree and Mrs. Bone was thrown out ; two ribs were broken from the spinal column and she received severe bruises on her head and arms. She was taken to Mr. Wm. Bone's where she received every attention. Fortunately she had left her two children at Mrs. Allan's, or they might have been injured also. On Saturday evening, another ac- cident occurred. Miss Bell, of Bel - grave was in abuggy standing at Moore's restaurant, when something frightened the horse. As the animal ran clown Josephine street, the buggy struck a. telephone post and lost one wheel, but the horse continued its run. Near Mr. Christie's grocery, Miss Bell was thrown out, and was badly bruised on her head. After an hour or more rest in Mr. Christie's, she was able to be taken home. The buggy was considerably the worse for the accident. Rifle Contest.
