34TII YEAR, NO. 32.
Wingham Assessment, 1907.
Mr. Dnlmage, the Town Assessor, has completed the assessment for
1907, and eve give below a summary of the results. It will be noticed
that there leas been e, general increase in the assessment, It had been
felt that this was necessary, as town property had increased in value
clueing the past year. Especially was this noticeable on the main street
where the assessment was, in some cases, not much more than half
what was asked for the property. The increase, being general, will not
' be felt much by the individual taxpayer,
The Roll has a neat, clean appearance, and is a credit to the as-
sessor, who has evidently been careful in his work, Of com•se, there
may be appeals from the valuation in some cases, but on the whole
we fancy that the assessment will be, generally speaking, satisfactory.
We glean from the Roll a few statistics that may be of interest ;-

for furnace in Town Hall, was not re-
commended for payment, the Execu-

'lowed to do its work, and he was
prepared to show that it would. The

That annual disquieting factor in
the municipal arena -the street water-
ing question -bobbed up in its old-
fashioned style. The Mayor let the
reins of government lie loosely for a
while, and different opinions were
expressed. The Street committee
thought that the front street should
hear the bulk of the expense. Coun.
Kerr thought some definite plan of
frontage tax should be adopted and
adhered to, es in other tows. Coen,
Gordon considered the whole town
was benefited by having the front
street watered. Uoun's McDonald and
Bell considered that the Finance com-
mittee should raise the funds by sub-
scription, as their duties were easy.
Coun. Kerr replied that it was not the
duty of the Finance
committee to fur-
ni.sh brains for theWaterworks Waterworks cent-
mittee. Then the Mayor woke up,
gathered up the reins more tightly,
held his steeds in hand, and called for
a "motion."
Moved by Coun's Bell and McDonald
-That the Finance committee devise
a scheme to raise $200 towards witer-
ing the front street:
After further discussion the amount
wi4s changed to $100, acrd the motion
passed.

Found Money.
One day last week, while in Wing -
ham, Mr. Ilugh McBurney of Wawa -
nosh lost a puree containing $32. It
was found by tarry Dore, who hand-
ed it to his father. Thus Mr, Mc-
Burney recovered his lost money and
handed Harry over $2, as a reward
for his honesty.
Formal Opening.
As seen by minutes of Council, the
formal opening of the new Postomce
has been dated for I11ay 21, and a com-
mittee has the matter in hand. This
week the small -paned windows on the
main floor have been changed for fnll-
sized plate glass. This gives a much
Netter appearance to the building.
Particulars as to opening will be an-
nounced, when arrangements are com-
pleted.
Mother And Brother Died.
Mr. U. Sherk bears a double sorrow.
About three weeks ago his only bro-
ther died, as a result of a severe attack
of grippe. On Sunday last his aged
mother, Mrs. Jas. Sherk, a respected
resident of Aylmer, passed away at
the ripe age of 80 years. Mrs. Sherk
did not long survive the shock caused
by the death of her son. The funeral
took place on Tuesday. To lose moth-
er and brother within three weeks is a
trial indeed.

St. Paul's Easter Vestry.
St. Paul's congregation held their
annual meeting on Easter Monday
evening. The Church Wardens' re-
port was rend, and general business
transacted. The officers will be elect-
ed at an adjourned meeting on April
15th. Receipts for the year from of-
fertories, etc., were $2091.87, as com-
pared with $1723.60 in 1000; total
revenue from all sources, $2657.10.
Permission was given to the A. Y. P.
A. to carry out their proposal to in-
stall new electroliers. Votes of thanks
were passed to the Wardens and offi-
cers for the excellent showing of the
year. After liquidating outstanding
liabilities of last year amounting to
$333, and after completing the rectory
repairs at a cost of $712, there is a net
balance of $72.11, with no liabilities.
Missionary contributions have in-
creased by $150. An extra $200 per
year was voted the rector, but 'he
. could not see his way to accept the
increase. A month's vacation, how-
ever, is to be provided for him during
the suanmet'. The officers and mem-
bers are to be congratulated on the
material progress of the Church. Miss
Houghton, organist, was given an
Easter remembrance of $25.
Easter in The Churches.
Easter services in Wingham church-
es were bright and interesting. In
St. Paul's, the rector spoke with effect
on the topics suggested by the day,
Eastertide memories and the Resur-
rection of our Lord having the place
of prominence. A large number of
members partook of the Holy Com-
munion. In the Methodist church,
Rev. W. G. Howson spoke in the
morning on "The last and greatest
Beatitude" --"Blessed are they, who
have not seen, and yet have believed."
Iu the evening, the oft -repeated gees -
tion -"If a man die, shall ho• live
again?" was ably examined and an-
swered in the affirmative. Both ser-
mons were much appreciated by the
very attentive congregations. In the
Baptist church, added interest was
felt in the services from the fact that
,
itwas the closingdayof Rev. L. R.
St. Andrew's
Fitch's pastorate, In ,. S
church on Sabbath morning the ser-
mon was based on Acts 1:9, "And
when he had spoken these things,
while they beheld, he was taken up ;
and a cloud received hint out of their
sight." The sttbject discussed was the
Ascepsiop of Christ. Reference was
made to the tendency on the part of
some to regard the Ascension as a
part of the Resurreotion. For tnany,
the Resurrection meant the rising
from the dead and the ascending up
on high, This was to overlook the
importance of the Ascension itself,
and what It meant to the church.
The place and manner of the Ascen-
sion were dealt with. The following
points were then taken up as to the
importance of the Ascension to the
church : (1) It was the appropriate
ending of the days of his flesh. (2) It
was his enthronement in the seat of
sovereignty and power, (3) It was the
practical beginningof Itis great work
in the world. (4) It was the pledge
that he shall return at the end of the
ages.
