Teeswater by one run. The result
made the teams a tie for the cham-
pionship, necessitating another game,
which was played in Teeswater on
Tuesday. When Teeswater had play-
ed eight innings, and Wingham seven,
the score was 1--1. The game was

all, for we have a few left, and some
.very'good ones indeed.

Local Option Deferred.
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

Whitechurch Anniversary.
Anniversary services of White-
church Presbyterian Church will be

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. Taylor of
Hawick to Miss Isabella Caroline,

2nd line of Morris. Dr. R. P. Feild of
Brussels to Miss Clara Edith, daugh-

and others to follow within a few
days, this is a week of joy to many.

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,

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,

—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.
