Deciding Game Next Tuesday. , The championship game of baseball played here last Friday, between Wingham and Teeswater, was won by Teeswater by one run.

When Teeswater had play- ed eight innings, and Wingham seven, the score was 1--1. The game was then called off on account of the rain and darkness.

A meeting of those interested in aggressive Temperance work, and Local Option, was held in the Baptist church on Friday evening. After con- siderable discussion, it was decided not to submit the by-law at the ap- proaching municipal election, but to defer it for one year, and in the mean- time to prosecute an active campaign of education along Temperance lines, with that object in view. A consider- able sum of money, was subscribed to defray the expenses of the prepara- tory campaign, secure literature and engage speakers. Matrimonial Event. On Thursday evening last, Mr. D. T. Walkom, formerly G. T. R. agent at Whitechurch, and Mrs. Lizzie Hender- son, also of Whitechurch, were united in the bonds of matrimony. The ceremony was performed at the home of Mr. Thos. Kew, Wingham, brother of the bride, by Rev. 1V. A. Finlay of Whitechurch. Mr. and Mrs. Kew made excellent host and hostess for the occasion. The bride and groom left by the first train for their new home in Berlin, accompanied by the best wishes of many friends for their future happiness. May Get The Factory. Some time ago, when Mr. Button desired to purchase part of the park, and the Council declined to sell, it was resolved that the Town Clerk write the G. T. R. requesting the lease of a portion of ground alongside the track and north of Bennett's planing mill. In response to the request, the G. T. R. engineer was sent to Wingham, and on Monday he looked over the ground and will report. We under- stand that he said he would recom- mend the lease being granted. If this is done, the Dore Carriage factory will likely be erected there. The question of site has caused the delay. Men's Shoes for Fall and Winter Wear have arrived, Best of Uppers and Soles.—W. J. Greer. Whitechurch Anniversary. Anniversary services of White- church Presbyterian Church will be held next Sunday. Rev. Professor Ballantyne, D. D., of Knox College, Toronto, will preach at 11 a. tn. and ? p. in., and Rev. D. McKerroll of Lucknow, in the afternoon at 2.30, Special collections will be taken at each service. On Monday evening, the annual tearneeting will be held ; tea served from 6 to 8 o'clock. Then will follow an interesting program of music and addresses. Whitechurch Presbyterians always have a success- ful anniversary, and the approaching one is not likely to fall behind its pre- decessors. Weddings Galore. This is a great week for weddings, for there are no less than eight or ten to take place within a few miles of Wingham. As five of them are in progress as we go to press, we can only mention them, hoping to be fur- nished with fuller particulars of these in time for next issue. The five re- ferred to are—Mr. F. C.

With these on Wednesday, and others to follow within a few days, this is a week of joy to many. Big values in new Toilet Papers at Saunders'. To LUT.—Four comfortable rooms (unfurnished). Box 205, Wingham, LETTER OF APPRECIATION. 141 r. W. G. White, the C. P. R, train- man who was so severely injured at the 0. P. R. station hero nine weeks ago last Friday, has returned to his home at Toronto Junction, and for- wards us the following letter which speaks for itself :— tartan SIR. --Through the columns of your paper I desire to express my gratitude for the kind and careful at- tention I received while a patient in Wingham hospital. My accident was a very severe one, my leg being badly crushed, and the fact that my leg was saved at all, I air confident is due to the skilful treatment I received. I wish to thank the nurses and doctors es peeially, as well as all the kind friends who manifested so much in- terest in my behalf. Yours truly, W. G. White, 272 Marla St.► Toronto 3unction L'pworth League "At Houle." The members of Wingham Epworth League gave an "At Home" on Mon- day evening to the teachers and pupils of the High School, There was a large number present. Rev, W. G. Howson presided in his usual pleasant manner, The program consisted of addresses by Messrs. Workman, Smith and Taylor of the High School staff, and Dr. Eby of Toronto ; quartettes by Misses Mason and Farquharson, Messrs. Cline and Hill ; instrumental duet by Mrs, Sparling-Homuth and Miss Sperling ; instrumental by Miss Hazel Brandon, . selections by the League Choir, etc. Refreshments were served, and altogether an enjoy- able evening was spent. Wedded On Wednesday. On Wednesday of this week, the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A, RintouI was gay with festivity, the occasion being the marriage of their eldest daughter, Miss Jennie, to Mr. Fred. McLean, eldest sou of Jno. A. McLean of Wingham. At 12 noon, Rev. D. Perrie performed the interesting cere- mony, in the presence of the imme- diate friends of the bride and groom. After congratulations, the guests en- joyed a very tasty wedding luncheon. The bride looked especially attractive, dressed in silver gray poplin over gray silk. The presents were not only many in number, but really handsome and valuable. Mr. and Mrs. McLean left by afternoon train for their bridal tour. That their married life may be happy and prosperous is the wish of their many friends. Skin -Grafting Operations. Two operations occupied the atten- tion of several physicians and the nurses at Wingham Hospital on Fri- day last. After several weeks effort, it was found the severe burns received by Mrs. Walter Rose, of Teeswater, were not healing, and hence it was de- cided to have recourse to the skin - grafting process. The most severe burn was the one operated on ; it covers one arta from the shoulder to the ends of the fingers, except a couple of small spaces and the palm of the hand. Mr. Rose submitted to having several strips of skin removed from his legs, that these might be grafted on to the arm of his wife, Both pa- tients were put under chloroform, the operation requiring about three hours. It is hoped that with Mrs. Rose the operation will be successful. As Mr. Rose is in good health, it is thought he will be able to leave the hospital in about two weeks. Very Sad Accident. One of the saddest accidents that has occurred for some time is report- ed from Goderich. On Wednesday last, Miss Etta K. McDowell, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Mc- Dowell, and Mr. Fred. Reid were mar- ried in Goderich and that day set off on their honeymoon tour. They spent Thursday in Galt, and on Friday were driving to Hespeler, and while cross- ing the railway their baggy was struck by a passing train. They were found 'soon after and taken to Galt hospital. Mrs. Reid died on the way, and Mr. Reid shortly after reaching the hospital. Mr..and Mrs. Reid had been expected back to Goderich Fri- day night, and a supper and reception awaited them at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. Carter, Mrs. Carter be- ing a sister of Mr. Reid's, but in place of the gladness of rejoicing at the home coming of a bride and groom, came the lifeless corpses. Interment took place in Goderich cemetery on Sunday afternoon. The young bride, with her parents, formerly lived near Westfield, in Wawanosh, and was highly respected. Two Barns Burned. Heavy Iosses fell to the Iot of Messrs. Nelson Louttit and Jas. Smith, on the boundary between Culross and Turnberry, on Friday last. The threshing machine was at work at Mr. Louttit's, when the barn was dis- covered to be on fire. As a high wind was prevailing, the barn and contents were soon totally destroyed. Soon after, Mr. Campbell's barn, on the adjoining farm, was seen to be on fire. Fortunately, the flames there were soon extinguished. In the meantime, a third barn, that of Mr. J. Smith, was also found to be on fire, and there being no means of fighting the fire, the flames gained such headway in a short time, that the barn and its con- tents were soon destroyed. It is sup. posed that the fire caught in the first place from sparks from the threshing engine, and the other barns from blazing brands carried by the wind. Even allowing for the insurance, the losses will be heavy for Mr. Louttit and Mr. Srtiith, for at this season of the year, barns are generally full. Besides, to erect a new barn, with lumber at its present price, is a costly undertaking. There was an insurance of $2,000 on the barn and contents be- longing to Mr. Louttit, but unfortu{ irately a fine mare and colt were in the stable underneath the barn, and these perished, thas increasing the toss. AI. Smith r badan insurance of t $1,000, and his loss must necessarily be heavy. Mr. Taylor's house took tire, but the flames were extinguished before much datnagi{a was dome, local Items Wear Greer's Shoes and Rubbers, Get Parnell's Bread, at Christie's, Fall Rye for sale at T.

Olaaeea fitted, SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS. --If the overplus of little Japan's population coming to Canada causes such a row on the Pacific coast, what sort of a picnic will there be when the immense territory of China begins to unload its millions in dead earnest? —A recent paragraph in a Toronto daily stated that Sir Wilfrid Laurier arrived in Toronto last week, a sorry looking wreck. Grit and Tory alike will regret to hear that the case is so serious that the operations necessary will cost from five to ten thousand dollars. We are pleased to state, how- ever, that this has no reference to the honored Premier of this Dominion, but to the unfortunate dredge named after him, that five years ago sailed out of Toronto Bay with flying colors, but toppled over and sank before she accomplished any work. She laid in the bottom of the lake until recently. —Mr. Hodgetts, of the Fruit Grow- ers' Association of Ontario, in calling attention to the Provincial Horticul- tural exhibition in Toronto, Nov. 12 to 16, says :—"Owing to the scarcity of apples both in Europe and the United States, many buyers will be in the country this year looking after our apple orchards. We are extremely anxious to impress upon them the splendid quality of the apple as raised in Ontario, and with this end in view wish to make the county display more than ever a leading feature of the Show. To do this it will be necessary for the growers in every county to take up the matter in earnest, and get together a display which will do credit to their own county, We find that we can best reach the fruit growers through the columns of your paper." —Last week the C. P. R. operator at Vanleek Hill was found worse for liquor while on duty. He was report- ed to head quarters, and the railway company prosecuted hint under the new law. The result was, that besides losing his situation, he was sentenced to six months imprisonment. It is hoped that this will teach him a life- long Iesson, and also be a warning to others. An operator, with a brain be- fuddled with drink, might cause the death of hundreds of passengers, and railways do well to see that their em- ployees, who have human lives in their care, are not stupefied with in- toxicants. The day has come when business men and corporations have very little use for the young man of bad habits. Here is a practical lesson for boys and young men. Knowing that drink has effectually barred the way to success for thousands, they should, now and for ever, let it strict- ly alone. —A. report to the Town Council of Orillia is interesting, inasmuch as it shows the success of municipal owner- ship. The revenue from the Electric Light Power and Waterworks plants amounted to $34,500. The profits reached a total of $9,000 this year, and the Council was thus enabled to re- duce the tax rate from twenty-five to twenty-three mills on the dollar. When such an era arrives in Wing - ham, the Advance will be most happy to report it in full. Still, we have no reason to be discouraged. There will be a handsome revenue from water- works this year, and the Electric Light has always paid its way and provided for extensions and improve- ments. Of course, we have not reach- ed the happy stage Orillia has, where the profits knock two mills off the top of our tax rate, but we hope to get there some clay. Though if latest re- ports are correct, there will require to be a large expenditure of money be- fore we shall have an up-to-date plant, -Rev. Dr. Eby, in his address on Sunday morning last, pointed out the danger that is seen by some, in the distance perhaps. In speaking of the influx of Japanese and Chinese into Canada, he referred to the awakening of China with her population of 400 trillions. So far, China has asked simply to be let alone. Should that nation, when she wakes up, become as aggressive as Japan, and should there be a union of the yellow races against the white races, the result would be the most tremendous con- fiiet the world ever saw. The only preventative was the Christianizing of the heathen millions of China, Japan, India and Manchuria. But hand in band with the missionary and the Bible, so-called Christian nations are sending firearms, intoxicants, opium, etc., to the heathen, thus bringing about conditions that neutralize in many cases, the work of the mission- ary. One object of the International Citizens' League is to prevent this, and bring about as far as possible the general observance of the Golden Rule, Dr. Eby having been a mis- sionary in Japan, knows whereof he speaks. iV iAfeittliiii ktAYrYNYINtItiikViVAINsWrIfis i "Antiseptic Foot Powder" Regular 25c Per Box Our Special Price -10c Per Box (For a Short Time Only) tf,iSh# Why have tired, swollen, aching feet, when 10c invest- ed with us will cure them.
