The Gorrie Vidette has this to say
of a former resident of Wingham:—
"On Tuesday of this week sir. Geo.
Town disposed of the Albion Hotel to
Geo. Howes, of Mt, Forest. The new

Town purposes going West where he

Hicks Was Right.
Rev. I. hicks of St. Ltmis predicted
one of the most severe disturbances of
the month about the 17th, and warned
those on lake and ocean to be on their
guard. Monday's daily papers report-
ed the upper lakes storm -swept, ves-
sels a -ground and wrecks feared, as a
result of the worst storm of the sea-
son. The Southern States were also
storm -beaten, and much damage is re-
ported.

successful in other places and would

Trade not slacken its efforts to in-
augurate Wingham's Market day.

Court at Belgrave will, hold their an-
nual concert. Amonthe talent

admission, 25e ; reserved seats, 35c,
An enjoyable evening is ensured.
Belgrave Foresters will put forth
every effort to entertain those who

The l;zplanation.
Why does it pay to advertise ? Be-
cause the up-to-date twentieth cen-
tury farmer reads the local paper.
He wants to know what his neighbors
are doing, what is happening iu the
world around him, and he wants to
study the advertisements and find out
where to buy goods. He doesn't say
much about it perhaps, when he goes
to the store to do his trading, but just
let a merchant advertise a special bar-
gain and see if the up-to-date farmer
doesn't find it out and take advantage.
it is also true that the up-to-date far-
mer is the merchant's best customer.

Entered Another Year. -
Two of nor yotm;; business mets
have just entered a year ear in their
business career. Mr. 3. W. McKib-
ben began business for himself four
years ago, November lst, and has laid
the foundation of a successful busi-
ness. He is systematic and attentive;
his cuetomer.s appreciate these quali-
ties and his business will no doubt iU-
erease. Mr. P. Ii. Walley has during
the past week, entered his eecond year
of business in Wingham, Ile reports
a suceessful first-year, and expresses
himself as satisfied with the results.
He is also obliging and attentive to

A Pother Deceased,
Mr. It. H. Crowder received a cable
message last week conveying the sad
intelligence of the death of his father,
a nt Ecru1 t a Of Charlton -Cum -Hardy,
England. Mr. Crowder passed away
on Wednesday, 14th inst., aged 70,
leaving a widow, three sons and one
daughter, all in the old land, except
Mr. Crowder of Wingham. The de-
ceased gentleman had been for My -
three years, an employee of the large
dry goods firm of 1S. & 3. Watts, Man•
chester, but at the time of his death
had retired, having been pensioned by
the firtn, after 63 years of 'faithful ser-
vice. Our townsman had planned to
go and see his aged parent last sum-
mer, and now regrets that he did not
succeed in doing so. He expects soon
to take a trip to the old land, to coin -
fort his aged mother and visit the
scenes of his boyhood days,
Grateful Por Support.
Mr. A, H, Mnsgr•ove is grateful to
allewho assisted him in any way dur-
ing the, recent election to the Advi-
sory Council, It is easily seen now
why lie failed to reach the number of
votes that would have elected him,
He did not enter the field until other
candidates had been canvassing for
months ; some, indeed, bad their com-
mittee formed last Faster, and when
our Principal began the race, many
teachers bad been already pledged to
other- candidates. Then the combine
was a heavy factor in the contest, for
Me. Musgrove was offered combina-
tion that would have elected him, but
he declined, preferring to stand on his
own merits, and that he received 533
votes, is evidence of those merits.
Besides, an impelled vote of 1400 had
its effect. The cities voted in combi-
nation, bat many teachers in the
country failed to vote at all. Under
all the circumstances, our townsman
ran well.
WANTED.— Will pay the highest

Another Pioneer Gone.
On Saturday last, Mrs. Wm. Yeo, of
Tnenberry, passed from the trials and
sorrows of earth to her eternal rest.
Her maiden name was Jane Risdon ;
she was born in Devonshire, England,
and came to Canada, in 1852. She and
her faithful partner came to Turn -
berry in its early days, when it was
all woods. Many were the days of
hard toil and many privations were
endured in common with other early
settlers. Theirr
reward d came
in a Com-
fortable home and circumstances.
Two sons and four daughters were
born to them. The sons are Joseph of
Ethel and William on the hotnestead.
The daughters are Mrs. Wm. Hastie,
I•Iowick, Mrs. Alex. Hastie, Turn -
berry, Mrs. John Hall, Morris, and
Mrs. Dowdiug of Sault Ste Marie.
Mrs. Yeo was a kind mother, a faith-
ful wife, and a good woman. Kind-
ly remembrances of her will linger in
the memories of those who have
known her for so many years. The
funeral on Weduesday was largely at-
tended.

May Be Nominated.
The Goderich Signal is of the
opinion that the time has come for
Mr. Kerr, editor of the Brussels Post,
to be chosen as the Liberal candidate
for Bast Huron. The Advance does
not desire to interfere in any way
with the selection of a Liberal candi-
date, brit in a friendly way, we may
say that the Signal is not alone in its
opinion, for there are others who
think the genial editor of the Brus-
sels Post should havo a chance. The
Advance does not see "eye to eye"
with Bro. Kerr in matters political,
nevertheless, we have found him an
obliging neighbor, and we believe hire
to be an honorable, christian gentle-
man. A Liberal candidate there will
he, and if East Huron should so far
backslide as to be once more repre-
sented by a supporter of the present
Ottawa administration, there is no
one we would rather see there, than
Bro. Kerr. This much we can say,
that should he be nominated and con-
sent to stand, a contest' between 131'.
Kerr and the present popular member
for East Huron, Dr. Chisholm (while
it might be keen) would be honorable
and clean,
and free from those nasty
personalities, that make en election
campaign unpleasant, and do not as-
sist, but rather injure the candidate
indulging in them. A convention is
to be held early in December to
nominate a candidate.
Only four weeks to Christmas. Now
is the time to select your Christmas
Footwear. Come, see, our display.

Ended kiss Life.
The residents of Wingham were
shocked on Thursday last to hear that
James Atkins, an
employeeee
of the
Westetn Foundry,had b on found
dead. in his bed, at the King Edward
hotel, where ho boarded, Ile had not
been working for a few days, and
after his room -mate had risen on
Thursday morning it appears that At-
kins got up and locked the door. At
the usual hour for tidying up the
rooms, the door was found locked,
and later on, 11Ir. Orr, the proprietor,
was notified. He climbed up ,and
looked through the transom, and at
once saw that something was wrong,
and James Atkins was lying on the
bed, dead. Ou the dresser near hire
was a small, empty bottle that had
held carbolic acid, Coronet' J. P. Ken-
nedy was notified, and on Friday
morning, a post-nnorteul examination
was held by Dr, J. Tamlyn, who found
traces of carbolic in the stomach of
the deceased. The following were
summoned as a jury—R, Clegg, G.
Hanna, J. Hewer, J. Wilson, R. Por-
ter, 3. Hider, 3. Bone, J. McLean, L.
Kennedy, L. Harold, R. Johnston and
D. McDonald. The inquest was held
an Friday evening, Coroner Kennedy
presiding. After hearing the evi-
dence, the jury brought in the follow-
ing verdict—"That Jas. Atkins came
to his death from the effect of carbolic
acid, administered by his own hand,
on November 15th, 1900." The father
of the deceased came up from London,
and on Saturday morning returned,
taking with him the remains for in-
terment. The deceased had been in
Wingham for several years, and was
regarded as an industrious young
man. He leaves a widow and one
child, who for some time past have
been residing in Lucknow, It was a
sad occurrence, and though no cause
can be definitely ascertained, there
must have been something that led a
young yuan, with apparently many
years before him, to deliberately end
his own life, as though it were not
worth living. The writer cannot help
remarking — How many lives are
wrecked, like ships stranded on some
rocky shore ; lives that might run
their natural course of years and be
useful to the community. How full
is this world of sadness, sorrow, brok-
en hearts and wrecked lives. Much of
this might be avoided by early °hoes.

A year ago the clerk wrote various
municipalities in regard to the matter,
and the consensus of opinion was that
a salary was not usual. London was
instanced as one of such places. The
members wilt 'be nominated and voted

The Advisory Council.
After a tedious delay of ten days,
counting the results of the election of
members, of the Advisory Council of
Education have been announced. We
regret that our townsman, Mr. Mus-
grove, failed to reach the necessary
number of votes to secure election.
This was no doubt owing to his enter-
ing the field so late, only a month or
six weeks before the election, while
others had devoted all the summer
vacation to the canvass personally.
We are sure that Me. Musgrove would
have proved a valuable and useful
member of the Council, as well as a
faithful representative of the Public
School Teachers of Ontario. The suc-
cessful candidates are—Miss Harriet
Johnston of Toronto, Messrs, A. A.
Jordan of Port Hope, J. W. Piewes of
Chatham, and Thos. A. Reid of Owen
Sound. The Iast named is a son of
Mr. Adam Reid of Wingham, so that
if Wingham has not an actual resident
on the Advisory Board, she has the
honor of being represented by a son
of one of the most respected residents
of this vicinity. Mr. Reid is receiving
the congratulations of his friends in
many parts of the province. The
highest number of votes was taken by
the lady candidate, Miss Johnston ;
she secured 1,800 votes, and was 881
votes ahead of the second candidate.
The Council will therefore be com-
posed as follows :—Representatives of
High School Teachers—S. Martin, B.
A., St. Marys, and Dr. Pakenham of
Toronto ; Inspectors — Mr, Chisholm
of Bruce, and Rev. W. Colles of Chat-
ham ; Separate School—J. J. Rogers,
Lindsay; Public Schools—Miss John-
ston, A. A. Jordan, J. W. Piewes,
Thos. A. Reid, The other members of
the Council are—President of Toronto
University, Superintendent of Educa-
tion, three representatives from To-
ronto University, and one each from
Queen's, McMaster, Ottawa and the
Western Universities. With such a
representative Council, good results
should be seen in the near future in
our Educational system.

To most of our .citizens, the news of
the death of one of our respected
young ladies came with such sudden-
ness that the whole community was
startled. On Saturday afternoon
there passed away Miss Aggie Swin-
dlehurst, at the residence of her uncle,
Garner Nicholson, near Belgrave.
Heart failure was the cause of her
sudden demise. The deceased was of
a quiet, unassuming disposition and a
young lady beloved by all her neigh-
bors. She has lived with her uncle
nearly all her lifetime, and will be
very much missed by her acquaintan-
ces; she was a member of the Metho-
dist Church in Belgrave. The remains
were interred in the Brandon ceme-
tery on Tuesday.

Whitechurch,
There has been a change in the

Methodist Church next Sunday. The
Presbyterians are withdrawing their
services, and their pastor, Rev. G. P.
Duncan, will preach in the Methodist

Locke of Kincardine will preach after-
noon and evening.
Our townsman, Mr. R. Carrick, is
quite an expert with the gun, he rare-
ly goes out but he returns with quite
a bag of game, he is also quite an
authority on the ways and habits of
the wild birds and animals, which
frequent out' woodlands, and added to
all this, we might mention his won-
derfal powers of mimicry. He can
imitate the call of different birds and
also the sound they snake when on the
wing. He should be heard,in order to
be appreciated,

drawn b engine No. 1.50, passed
up
and down the G. T. R. line. On the
return trip going east, as it neared the
crossing a mile west of the village, it
was noticed that it neither whistled or
rang the hell; it was running at a
high speed at the time, Now this feet
may seem insignificant at first sight,
but when we remember that this is a
very dangerous crossing especially for
a person driving from the southwest,
as the crossing is situated on a sharp
curve, with a mann) on one side and
a snow fence on the other whieh ln'e-
vents It person from geeing a train
coming either way. Also that the
train WAS a special, the fact is not so
unimportant after ail. It is the least
that a driver can do, when he sees a
whistling post, to give the warning
whistle. Had there been anaccident
on that crossing, I suppose that there
would have been the 1.nial amount of
evidence to prove that every preca0-
tion was taken by the engine striver in
the wary of whistle and bell. We read
