evening; all the members were pre-
sent, and of course Mayor Holmes
presided.
Mr. Jas. Cummings made a claim of

his houses, on account of having put
in the pipe. The Council recognized
no claim for exemption, and on mo-
tion of Nicholson and McDonald, the
claim was "not allowed."
Messrs. Thornton and McDonald

animals had not been in their posses-
sion for some time ; referred to Ex-
ecutive,
Mr. Fleuty asked for correction of
error in his assessment ; referred to
Executive to report at next meeting,

mise water main extension to that
corner of the town for some time.
G. C. Hanna asked the privilege of
being allowed to build, at his own ex-
pense, a cement walk, four feet wide,
on the town property alongside his

The Rector, Rev, T. S. Boyle, was also
assisted by Revs. Hartley of Blyth
and Rhodes ofteeswater. The church
was prettily decorated with flowers,
fruit and grain, indicative of the har-
vest. The services were continued on
Sunday, when Rev. T, H. Farr of Gor-
rie preached appropriate sermons.
The choir furnished special and suita-
ble music, and the services were all
well attended.
On Monday evening, the time-hon-
ored Harvest Home supper was held
in the school room, decorated for the
occasion. Notwithstanding the un-
favorable weather, there was a large

"SPEAKING WITH TONGUES."
To the Editor : •
DEAR SIR.—It may be interesting
to some of your readers to, know that
a'most scholarly work has just been
issued from the press, on "The early
literature of Gnosticism in Egypt."
This work is from the pen of D. Reit-
zenstein, who has made a special
study of modern theosophy, christien
science and other mixed faiths. He
says that the "speaking with tongues"
at Corinth, and elsewhere, was main-
ly the calling out of the name of. God
in a variety of languages. This bit of
information, from this clever writer,
may prove a ray of light in a dark
place.
Yours, etc.,

DEATH OF MRS. GAUNT,
For Half a Century a Resident of the
Township of Kinloss.
On Friday last, after an illness of
sixteen months, Mrs, James Gaunt
passed over death's river, at the age
of 05 years, 0 months. For over half
a century, she had been a respected
citizen of Kinloss, Her maiden name
was Elizabeth Mirehouse ; she was
born at Ewe Close, parish of Plumb -
land, Cumberland, England, on Janu-
ary ist, 1812. She came to Canada in
1854, and in 1865, forty-two years ago,
was married to her now bereft hus-
band. As a pioneer of the township
she bore her share of the toils incident
to early settlement in a new country,
and proved herself a faithful and
affectionate wife, and kind and loving
mother, and was held in esteem by all
with whom she came in contact.
About a year and a half ago, she and
her husband came to reside in Lower
Wingham, Two months ago, her ill-
ness assumed a more serious form,
and she expressed her desire to go to
Kinloss, among her children, thinking
that it might cheer and buoy her rip
to some degree, There she received,
every kindness, and on Friday last
passed away. She leaves one daugh-
ter, Mrs. Jane McIntosh ; two sons,
Edwin and Thomas, besides her be-
reaved husband and one brother, John
Mirehouse, of the third of Kinloss.
Her illness was borne with great
patience and fortitude. The funeral
took place on Sunday to Wingham
cemetery, Rev. G. P. Duncan, White-
church, conducting the service.
Bowlers At Lucknow.
Four rinks of Wingbam Bowlers
went to Luekuow on Thursday. The
skips 'were L. Hanson, W. Holmes, L.
Kennedy and A. M. Orawfotd, The

8. The other two rinks lost. On the
whole contest, the Lucknow •Bowlers
were victors by two,

WINGHAM HOSPITAL.
Items of Interest from this Thriving
Institution.
Boar.—On Oct. 3rd, to Mrs. Woods
of Wroxeter, a son.
The Hospital rooms have been all
occupied, and the nursing stair taxed
to the utmost.
Mrs. 3. L. Little of Turnberry un-
derwent an operation at the Hospital
on Thursday last, and is doing nicely.
The old Conservatory is being reno-
vated and will be made into a Sun -
bath room for patients. It will be
comfortably fitted up and furnished.
Dr. Kennedy is securing subscriptions
for the purpose with good success.
Mrs. Walter Rose of Teeswater,
who was severely burned, is doing'
nicely. Mr. Rose, from whom the
strips of skin were taken for the
wounds, has recovered and expects to
return to Teeswater in a short time.
The Ladies' Auxiliary to the Wing -
ham General Hospital has decided to
postpone the bazaar indefinitely, and
purpose holding instead a supper in
.the Council Chamber in the evening
of October 2401, further announce-
ment of which will appear later, All
members and others, who are willing
to give, are requested to send their
contributions to the Town Hall that
clay. Collectors will endeavor• to make
a house to house canvas, but this no-
tice, it is hoped. will reach everyone,
so that no one may be overlooked.
Willfong's Uncle Tom's Cabin Com-
pany will appear at the Town Hall,
for one night only, Saturday, Oct. 12.
This moral play was written by Har-
riet Beecher Stowe some sixty years
ago, and has been produced in almost
every town and city in the United
States and Canada, and is as popular
as the day it was first played. The
prices are within the reach of all :—
Children under 12 years, 15c ; adults,
25c ; reserved seats, 35c. Reserved
seats on sale at McKilihon's drug
store. , •
Damages Settled Amicably.
Our readers will remember that
some time ago, Mr, A. Gemmill, while
driving on the B line, met with an ac-
cident through a defective culvert,
and his buggy was badly broken and
the horse injured. The matter was
left to Reeve Musgrove of Turnberry
and Mayor Holmes of Wingham. The
decision is that—The Town of Wing -
ham and the Township of Turnberry
each pay damages of $70, or $140 in
all, This would build several culverts.
Gospel Temperance Meeting.
The Local Option committee has de-
cided to hold monthly Gospel Temper-
ance meetings in the Town Hall at
8,15 p. m. on the second Sunday in
each month. Next Sunday time speak-
er will be Rev. H. Edgar Allen, of the
Baptist Church. The address will be
preceded by a bright song service,
when Sankey's songs and solos will be
the hymn book used, The Salvation
Army will provide the music. The
public are cordially invited to attend
and are asked to bring their own
hymn books. A collection will be
taken to defray expenses.

cut, Storm Rubbers, Sandals, etc., 50c

best), 1 oz. of fuller's earth, 1 os?: of
soda Use` a

new.

A petition was received from the six

of the increased cost of living, the

pal's salary be increased $50. Trustee

mously carried.
The teachers' and officers' Salaries
Were ordered to be paid and the Board
aid jourtted.
la The Ditch.
On Saturday, when Mr. W. G. Salter
was coming into town, .along the Bel -
grave road, he found two men with
their horse and buggy overturned, the
horse lying on its back in the ditch.
They were strangers, and apparently
had been imbibing too freely of some-
thing stronger than water. As far as
in his?power Mr. Salter helped thein
not of the difficulty, but of course he
could not remove the Influence of the
"booze."
Serious Collision.
On Friday last, as Rev. Mr. Curry,
Methodist minister at Walton, was
driving home from Brussels Fair on
the Seaforth road, he met two young
men driving furiously towards Brus-
sels. He was not able to get out of
their road in time, and the result was
a terrible shook and wreak. Mr. Curry
was thrown out of his buggy, and his
horse thrown backward over the bug-
gy. A veterinary was called'iii and
found the horse seriously injured.
Tho buggy was 'badly broken. It is
said that it will take nearly or quite
$200 to cover the bill. This reckless
driving should be stopped, and per-
haps a heavy bill of damages may as-
sist in teaching reckless drivers that
others have rights on the road as well
as they.

Death Of Miss Greer.
The family of Mr. George Greer,
of Lucknow, has been plunged into
deep sorrow and bereavement by
the death . of his fourth daughter,
Miss Minnie A., on Sunday last.
Deceased had been in 01 health for
some tine, and yet the end came
sooner than was expected. Gerrie
was her birth -place. She graduated
from the Buffalo General hospital in
1000, and soon after was placed in
charge of the Clinic department,
Which position she held for sixteen
months. Later on, she took a post-
graduate course in New "York Infant
Asylum, and afterward held the posi-
tions of Superintendent of White
Hospitiil, Ravenna, Ohio, and Passe-
vant Memorial Hospital, Jacksonville,
Ill. She was also a graduate in
Elocution from the Detroit Training
School. In 1900, her health failed,
and she was obliged to give up her
work, and visited Cromwell, Conn.,
Denver, the Adriondacks, and Sara-
nac Lake, in hope of restoration, and
in July last, she tame home, She
was a dutiful daughter, exceptionally
bright and clever, and much beloved.
The funeral took place on Tuesday to
Greenhill cemetery, Lucknow. The
floral offerings were beautiful, among
them being several from a distance,
and a handsome pillow (indicative of
rest) from. the family. At her re-
quest, the pall-bearere were her two
brothers, two nephews, and two
cousins. Rev. J. W. Forel, pastor of
Lucknow Methodist Ohurch, conduct-

Accident To Mrs. Wellwood.
The Advance regrets to bear of a
serious accident that happened to
Mrs. Wm. Wellwood of Wingham, on
Tuesday of last week. She was visit-
ing her daughter, Mrs. Tigert of Gode-
rich, and had occasion to descend the
stairs at night in the dark. There is
a turn in the stairway near the foot,
and Mrs. Wellwood thought she had
reached the floor, when in reality she
was two steps from it, and hence fell
heavily the height of the two steps.
The result of the fall was a very had
fracture of the one thigh bone. She
is still at her daughter's, where she is
receiving every possible attention, but
is suffering severely. It is likely to
be several weeks before she will be
able to return home. Her many
friends here hope for as speedy a re-
covery as passible.
Among the new students at Wing -
ham Business College are John Steel,
Teeswater; Miss Edna Stafford, Buf-
falo ; Miss Phemie McIntosh, Ripley.
We hope they will meet with success.
Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Stewart have
closed their home here for the winter
and will reside with Mr. Cloakey, near
Belgrave. They are not removing
their furniture, so we hope to have
them back again.

--Here is a pithy sentence from
John Ruskin ; "That country Is the
richest which nourishes the greatest
number of noble and happy human
beings; that man is the richest who,
having perfected the functions of his
own life to the utmost, has also the
widest helpful influence, both personal
and by means of his possessions, over
the lives of others,"
—On Monday last, after being in
the Liberal column for thirty-two
years, for the Provincial Legislature,
Brockville elected A. B. . Donovan
(Conservative) by a majority of 325.
This was the riding represented by
'fon. G. P. Graham, Leader of the On-
tario Liberals, and was rendered va-
cant by his removal to the arena of
Federal polities, The electors of
Brockville discovered that "It is never
too late to mend," and "While the
lamp holds out to burn," etc.
—The proposal to establish a Cash
Market day in Wingham seems to
have died while yet in its infancy,
along with its twin sister, the propos-
ed Carnegie library. The Advance
still believes that the establishment of
a Market day would be a good thing
for Wingham as well as for the farm-
ers. Bolton, a place much smaller
than Wingham, has established one,
with good prospects of success. What
is the use of holding meetings, discus-
sing propositions—only this and noth-
ing more, The towns that stand in
the first rank are those whose citizens
are on the alert for the best to be had,
and persistently reach after them.
Occasional, or even periodical, "spurts"
accomplish very little. In this strenu-
ous age, "At it, and always at it," is
the way to success.
—The question of Local Option re-
calls a very peculiar case, as reported
existing in Meaford. Last year it was
decided to submit Local Option, and
as a preparatory step, the Temperance
people (very properly) took steps to
secure accommodation by purchasing
one of the hotels, The Local Option
by-law failed to carry, and those who
purchased the building for the travel-
ling public were obliged to lease the
building, and no one would take it
without the license. Hence they were
under the necessity of leasing it to a
man who sells liquor. As the leading
temperance men and some ministers
are in the Company, the situation is
(to say the Ieast) very peculiar. We
saw this reported some time ago, but
wrote to a relative there to verify it,
before referring to it. If this is really
the case, -it looks inconsistent, and the
conditions should be changed as quick-
ly as possible.
Call and see our new stock of Neck-
ties, selling below wholesale prices.—

Men have commenced to pull down
the old buildings on the site which the
Canadian Bank of Commerce pur-
chased last year, opposite the Mac-
donald block, preparatory to erecting
a very fine building for Banking pur-
poses.
High School Baseball.
A good game of baseball .was played
ori the town park on Saturday after-
noon between teamnt. representing
Kincardine and Wingham High
Schools. Considerable rivalry exists
between the two institutiorie, owing
to a couple, of hockey games played
last winter, in which the lakeside
town got the better of it. For this
reason the Iocal boys were out to even
matters up on Saturday and they did
it to the queen's taste. The visitor's
never had a look -in, the Score at the
finish being 14-4. Most of time credit
for the victory belongs to the local
twirler, Cecil Knox, who had 18 strike-
otits to his credit, bat the whole team
played a snappy game. The local line-
up was as follows :—C. Knox, p.; J. G.

—In the town of Collingwood there
is now a new condition of affairs in
the effort to control the traffic in in-
toxicating drink. Last January the
Local Option by-law was voted on,
and the vote stood 794 for and 550
against- Though this gave a majority
of 238, the by-law was defeated, owing
to the three-fifths requirement. The
Town Council is now taking another
method, and next January will submit
a by-law to raise the liquor license fee
to $2,500, and as this will only require
a majority, it is expected that the by-
law will carry easily. There are eight
or nine licenses in Collingwood, and if
the fee is raised to $2,500 it will result
in nearly all of thein quitting busi-
ness. half the fee goes to the govern-
ment and half to the municipality.
The hotelmen's association of the pro-
vince were represented by counsel at
the Collingwood Council meeting last
week, but will take no action until the
vote is taken on the by-law. Then if
the result is unfavorable, a stiff fight
will be made in the courts, for it is
realized that other municipalities may
adopt the same methods of substitut-
ing such a by-law f`or_.the ordinary
processes of local option.
