East linron Liberals met in Brussels

dates had the lead in the first ballot,
Arch. Hyslop and W. H. Kerr. At
the final ballot the vote stood : H.yslop
93, Kerr 73, hence Mr. Hyslop is the
choice. Of course, it is none of our
business, but if we were to express an
opinion it would be -that Hyslop has
had his good dine and it is Bro.

Seriously 111.
Mr, P. Fisher, Wine -etas respected
Postmaster, has been seriously' ill now
for more than week with inflammas
tion of the bowels. For some days
voneidarable anxiety was Mt as to his
recovery. It is, however, thought
that the crisis is passed, and we are
pleased to hear that there are pros-
pects of his recovery, though he is
still very weak.
Railway Blocked.
Railveay truffle between Wingham
and Teeswater WAS interrupted on
Monday evening by the derailing of
the afternoon C. 1.), R. freight train
between Glenannan and Teeswater.
The late passenger train remeined
Wingham over night instead of pro-
ceeding to Teeswater, and the passen-
gees were driven over by a livery
team, The cause of the delay was re-
moved during the night, and on Tues-
day morning, the track was elettr
again.
Very High Prices.
Tim editor of tbis paper has a letter
from his second son in Pasadene, Cali-
fornia, in which a few of the prevail-
ing prices are given. He bought a
cord Of soft wood and paid for it six-
teen dollars, with the prospect of
wood being $18 a. cord by New Year.
Coal is high, with demand greater
than supply*. Eggs are 500 dozen,
butter equally high ; milk, 10e a quart ;
meat, 25e a pound ; turkey, 38c a lb.
We think fuel and provisions dear in
Ontario, but these quoted are higher
still.

Was it Suicide ?
Dr. 'Kennedy, Coroner, was called
to Brussels on Tuesday morning to en-
quire into the cause of the death of
George Stemtn, a harness maker of
that village. It appears that the de-
ceased had been absent from home
since Monday morning, and on Tues-
day morning his body was found in
the river. As his watch had stopped
at 0 o'clock, it is supposed he had been
in the river since INIonday morning.
After full enquiry into the matter,
Dr. Kennedy decided that death was
either accidental or suicidal, and
deemed an inquest unnecessary. De-
ceased was a man of good character,
and a member of the Methodist
Church. Of late had given evidence
of an unbalanced mind. He leaves a
wife and family. Sincere sympathy
is felt for the bereaved.
Another Forward Step.
Wingham High School has, in its
first term, been so pronounced a suc-
cess, that the Board has found it
absolutely necessary to engage a
fourth teacher. The choice has fallen
upon Mit. J. C. Smith, B. A. of Dun-
das, as Classical Master. dr. Smith
is an Honor Graduate in Classics of
Queen's University, and Depastments
at Specialist in Classics of Hamilton
Normal College. He is at present
Classical- Master in ninnies High
School. Wingham High School is now
completely. equipped ln every depart-
ment with Honor Graduates and
Specialists, hence the staff of teachers
is exceptionally strong, each member
having not only the best qualifica-
tions but a splendid teachines record.
The iiddition of Mr. Smith as Classical
Master is another forward steps

Good Advice.
This is what Prof. Hicks advises :-
"If yon are planning to escape bliz-
zards on the land, or storms on the
lakes, don't start on 0 journey or voy-.
age (unless your trip is a short one.) at
the on-coMing of a storm period,
when the winds are shifting. to east
and south. tbe tem peratare rising and
the barometer falling. Catch the
northwest tangent of storm areas,
when winds are shifting to west and
north, when the barometer is rising
and the skies are clearing. You will,
indeed, flnd it fresh and frosty at such
titnes, but such a thing as a violent
storm or blizzard will be impossible
until the elements have time to "back
up and reorganize" -that is, for the
winds to shift hack to the east and
south, the barometer to fall, the tem-
perature to rise and cloudiness gather.
These things constitute God's storm
and weather clock on the face of ereas
tiote and he who will may safely see
when it is time to go, or One to
stay.
Clinton Councillors Enlightened.
The Clinton News -Record reports
the action of the Council of that town
with regard to the enforcement of the
License Law, especially of two clauses
of the Act. According to one of these
clauses the fines in all convictions for
illegal liquor selling, where the in-
formations are laid 'by the local con-
stables, go into the town treasury ;
but if the inspector enters the cases,
the fines go to the Government. Ac-
cording to another clause, it is the
(lute. of the constables to assist in the
enfoecement of the law. Councillor
Paisley, who is thoroughly posted in
the license law, said the duty of the
constables is very clearly defined.
They should help to enforce it as they
would any other law. They are not
called on to send their information to
the inspector, but to place it' before a
magistrate as they would any other
ease. By doing this they pocket the
fees, and the local treasury receives
the fines. The Councillors admitted
getting new light on the matter, and
the discussion ended with the adop-
tion of a resolution directing the con-
stables to use "all reasonable tneans"
in assisting in the enforcement of the
liquor act.

Anniversary And Teameeting.
Anniversary services of Winghasn
Methodist Church were held on Sun-
day last. Rev. .T. E. Stall` of Toronto
was the speaker for the day and gave
excellent discourses. . On Sunday
evening the seating acefUnmodation
was insufficient and chairs had to be
brought up from the lecture room.
The Trustee Board had asked for a
collection of $200, but the congrega-
tion did not measure up to that
amount (as they usually do). Possibly
knowing that the church debt had
been removed, they forgot that run-
ning expenses are on the increase,
necessitating at times an overclatft for
which the Board is responsible. On
Monday evenin.g the teameeting held
under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid
was welt attended. Addresses svere
delivered by Rev's Starr of Toronto
and Joliffe of Clinton. The choir of
the Church rendered good service on
Sunday, and also on Monday evening.
The duet and solos by Miss Homuth
and Mr. P. Hill were excellent and
enjoyed by the congregation. MiS8

invitation and recited In her usual

sults were -Sunday collections, $88 ;

interest for a term of ten years, and
also fix the assessment of the proposed
