The committee recommended pay- ment of the above accounts. D. M. Gordon, Chairman, Nicholson -McDonald --That the re- port of the Finance committee be ad'ipted-cal-rled, '• The Electric Light accounts, amount- ing to $420.04, were laid on the table, reeomtnencled for payment by the Fi- nance committee. ExECUTIVE COMITTTEE REPOIrr. The Executive Committee recom- mended as follows ;- 1 -That any transient trader having paid the fee of $50, after paying two years' taxes, and being still a rate- payer, shall have the balance of the fee refunded him. 2 -That we find that the Council of 1906 sa,notioned extensive i prov - nents in the electric light plant, and that $1,850 of the cost is still unpaid ; also that the revenue was $100 less than in 1005; therefore it is necessary to practice rigid economy to make the revenue meet the indebtedness and necessary expenditure. We recom- mend that the Town do the wiring, installing, repairing, supplying of lamps, fixtures, etc. That the Town buy all material wholesale or from manufacturers, at lowest cost. That three then giving all their time to the corporation is a sufficient number to run the plant., except on special occa- sions. That this will materially lessen expense and increase the revenue. SIGNED. On motion of Conus, Gordon and Nicholson, the report of the Executive. committee was adopted in full.

Irwin -Nicholson -That the Town Hall be granted free of Charge to the Hospital Concert contmittee, as the proceeds were in aid of Wingham Hospital. Caun. Gordon asked for explanation regarding rumors. MrGreer gave a most satisfactory explanation. The motion was then put and carried.

To a young luaus of ability and zeal, having chosen the ministry, being well -adapted for the work, and Alk having undergone a thorough course of preparation, this' must be no email trial and disappointment, The citi- zens of VV'inghatn will much regret. that It is necossery for Mr. Fitch to take this',top.

Nine years ago, March 1st, the pres- ent proprietor took charge of The iS Wingham Advance, The years halve passed quickly and pleasantly, and we have no cause to regret having placed ou'r'ftaith in Wingham and its people. Wiugharn is as pleasant a town to reside in as anyone can desire ; it is progressive and healthy ; its people are industrious and agreeable. Arany towns are so rent with cliques, and faction quarrels, that residence there is not pleasant. Not so with Wing - ham We may be y pardoned, if we feelsoniewhat of a journalistic pride, as we compare the Advance of 1808, with the paper ars it is to -day, enjoy- ing as it does, the confidence and lib- eral patronage of the public, and its circulation increasing weekly. We appreciate the patronage that has recognized the merits of the Advance, and also the most valuable co-opera- tion of our excellent staff of corres- pondents,has nttib ate ondents whose aid eo t • cl so much to the interest of the paper. The success of the past encourages ns to greater efforts for the future. Turned Tables On Lucknow.

Jack I3atbbiek was good, but did not play the game he has played :at home, while Bob Thomson shared the honor of best Inttn in visitors line-up. For Wing - halm Ed. Elliott in centre seemed to be the best, but Jiinniy McGillivray and herb, Elliott both played a very fast game, McLean did not feel like playing, and only on a few occasions did ha- break away, putting two shots Aeon through the nets in last half, which missedthe goal trrripire s eye.

Col. Sharp, the Provincial Commander, were of a Most interesting character. On Sat- urday evening he dwelt on Christ's call of the fishermen to be "fishers of men" and on Sunday morning the talk on "Purity" was very touching and effective, when there was a ready response for consecrated Hien and we - men for service to God and humanity.

The reso- lution was seconded by Dr. T. Chis- holm, M. P. for East Huron, in an able address that was well received on both sides of the house, ttnd on which he waS warmly e on rata at d g I e byLiberals as i 1 well as Conservatives. In this issue, we give the speech in full, and as it is entirely non-partisan it may be read with pleasure by all our readers, whether Grit or Tory. The editor of the Advance is in re- ceipt of a private letter f 1 tt, from Mr. R L. Borden, Leader of the Opposition in the House of Commons. In it, he says :- "The speech delivered by De•,. Chis- holm on imperial Federation was ane of the best that I have listened to in the "louse of Commons. It was ex- cellent in diction and in matter, was well delivered and was listened to with deepest attention by all the members, whether to the right or the left of the Speaker. At its Conclusion Dr. Chisholm was surronnded by members eager to extend their con- gratulations." Regarding Explosions. Explosions in a dwelling are apt to be very disastrous, and the follow• ing from the Kincardine Review may be of interest, as too lnuclt care can- not be esereised.--"Explosions often occur and without apparent Cause. Coal gats acetylene gas and some other gases, when mixed with a small (identity of air, tvill explode with tre- tneudotls force. Dust of nearly any kind will explode where fine enough. Fine dust from sweeping when in set. ilcfent quantities, coal dust, flour dust, and oven dost from polishing marble, will explode when a light is brought near. Vin. Welsh, Durham St., was hear losing his parlor stove a few days ago by an explosion. There was no- body in tite roost, when a heavy thud startled Mr. and !Hrs. Welsh, wlto on entering the parlor found it filled with dust. The lids were blown off the stave and some of the plica blown out, 'rhe cause upon examination it sup- Iposed to be from dusty coal. It be. ng peanut eoal with quite a large percentage of [lust, had got packed in the funnel, alul agood fire being on at the seine time had settled away from that t in the ftr ntarl' which lroppe1 sucke y upon the heated coals and went of instantly with the result as stated." fi Flalleujab Wedding.
