Whitechurch.
Angus Morrison is laid off work
with a sore thumb, something resemb-
ling bloodpoison,
Mr. A. Fox has Jas. Laidlaw's house
rented and will move into it the be-
ginning of the month.
The interior of the parsonage is re-
ceiviu r a coat of paint. Mr. Sherk of
Wingham is the painter employed,
Miss Rhoda Paxton of Port Dal-
housie, who spent the past week with
her friends, Mr. and Mrs. Fox, re-
turned to her home on Tuesday last.
Jas. Laidlaw is having his hand-
some brick house, in the village, treat-
ed to a coat of paint, which will great-
ly improve its appearance. Mr, R.
Carriek is doing the work.
Last Sunday was Bethel's anniver-
sary Sunday, so there was no service
in the Methodist church here, There
was not a very large representation
from Whitechurch, either on Sunday
or Monday evening. No doubt the
threatening state of the weather on
Monday evening prevented several
from going,
Last week an important looking
train pulled into the station here at
about 11 o'clock, and proceeded to get
on the switch in order to allow the
eastbound passenger train to pass,
and as the rear car passed it was
noticed that it was marked "Official,"
and sure enough there was the whole
G. T. R. Co. inside. After a while the
Co, got out. We were not very sure
at first whether it was the Co. or not,
but when they all came down into the
station just like as if they owned it,
and carefully examined a sag in the
floor (our station is beginning to sag
pretty badly in places) and asked the
station master if he had coal enough
for the winter, then we were all sure
it was the Co. all right. After they
looked at the station floor, they went
up and peeked into the stockyard, but
they soon peeked out again (it was too
much for them) and then they got
back into the car labelled "Official"
again, and that was the last seen of
the Co. But you should have seen
the Conductor, how nervous and
scared looking he was, and no wonder;
conducting the G. T. Co. all over the
country would be enough to upset
anyone's nerves. It made us quite
nervous just to gaze on it, and Andy
Fox could scarcely speak above a
whisper.

PATRONIZE HOME.
To the Editor of the Advance.
Dear Sir :—Would you kindly allow
me a. small space in your valuable col-
umns to ask a few questions. The
parsonage at Whitechurch is being or
has been lately treated to a coat of
paint, and both the paint and the
painter have been imported from
Wingham. Now, the writer is not
particularly interested in this institu-
tion, but he is one of those who like to
see heme industries patronized, and as
there is a first-class painter in the vil-
lage in the person of Mr. R, Carrick,
and a hardware store where I believe
all kinds of paints can be procured, I
was wondering why the executive had
to go to Wingham for either skilled
labor or material, and more especially
as both the above are, at least, ad-
herents of the Methodist Church, and
doubtless lend their support thereto.
The writer took the trouble to ask Mr.
Carrick if he was given a chance of
the job, and be says he was not ; that
he knew nothing of it till he saw the
painter out here. What makes this
all the more remarkable is that when
there is a job of carpenter work to be
done in connection with this institu-
tion, the mechanic is always found
right here in Whitechurch. But per-
haps that is explained by the fact that
the mechanic in question is one of the
executive, and if this is the case it
makes the present case resemble that,
precious commodity known in the po.
Utica! world as Graft (on a very small
settle). Yours very truly,
A Lover of Fair Play,
i'or Quality and Quantity ask your
dealer for the new big plugs of "Bobs"
"Stag" and "Currency" Chewing To-
baocoss.

Last week Peter Cantelon, 6th line,
was seriously injured, He fell from
the mow and struck his side on the
wheel of the buggy. As Mr. Cantelon
is over 70 years of age the accident
may be difficult to overcome.
We are sorry to report the severe
illness of an old and well known resi-
dent, Wm. Michie. He has a combin-
ation of ailments, but we hope he will
soon be better. Mr. Michie is in his
77th year, and has resided in Morris
since the fall of 1850.
Thursday of last week, at 6 a.m.; the
barn on the farm of John Johnston, of
B. C., Oth line, Morris, was destroyed
by lightning. The tenant was George
Stevens. Barn was 30 x 56 and was
struck at the westerly end and burned
instantly. The proprietor had $1,100
insurance, and Mr. Stevens $700 on
contents, in the Howick Mutual.
On Wednesday of last week the
spirit of Francis McCutcheon, one of
the pioneers of the 0th line, took its
flight. He was born in County Fer-
managh, Ireland, and came to Canada
when a boy with his parents. In 1854
the family located in Morris, taking
up N?j lot 25, con. 7, then a bush lot,
which was transformed to a fine farm
by industry, thrift and economy. In
politics he was a Conservative, and in
religion he held to the English church.
Out of a family of 9 brothers and 3 sis-
ters Mr. McCutcheon was the last to
depart this life.
The Council met Sept. 2 ; members
all present. Minutes of last meeting
read and confirmed. The Treasurer's
half -yearly statement was examined
and accepted as satisfactory.
On motion of Campbell and McCut-
cheon, the Reeve was instructed to
have the Sunshine bridge put in a pro-
per state of repair.
On motion of McCutcheon and
Campbell, the Clerk was instructed to
call for sealed tenders for the con-
struction of the Cole drain.
On motion of Shaw and McCutcheon,
the offer of Mr. Robert Vint for the
construction of a cement arch opposite
lot 8 on 7th con. line, for the sum of
$100, was accepted, and the Clerk in-
staucted to draw specifications, etc.,
for the same.
On motion of Taylor and Campbell,
the following rates were struck for
the current year : County rate 2 mills,
Township rate 2 2-10 mills, and general
School rate 1 6-10 mills in the dollar.

Health For Run.down Women.
From the experience of Mrs. Jno.
Panke, Saskatoon, nothing compares
with Ferrozone. "At times I was
confined to my bed and couldn't do
any work. I was run down in flesh,
lost strength, my appetite failed, my
color was pallid. Weary and cast -
down, it seemed I couldn't catch up.
Ferrozone started a new kind of life
in my blood, built me up, vitalized and
strengthened my neryes, and finally
cured my heart and stomach pains."
Ferrozone is a rebuilder that has
special virtue in female ailments,

—ON—
Saturday, Sept. 28th
AT 2 P. M.
On above date, on the premises,
a public auction will be held of all
the unsold lots belonging to the Quay
Estate, about thirty in number.
These lots are well situated, being
close to both Public and High Schools,
and less than ten minutes' walk from
the postofiice. Their freedom from the
dust, heat, bad sanitary conditions, fac-
tory and railroad smoke nuisance, river
fogs, and poor drainage of some other
parts of the town, give them a special
valve that will steadily increase, as
they, form the most desirable residential
site left in Wingham.
