Evangelist Ranton concluded the ser- vice with announcement of the week's services. In the evening, Me. Ranton delivered an excellent discourse on the topic VhY'am I a Christian," basing his remarks on the words -"To whom she'll we go, Thou hast the words of eternal lie."

One day recently, a representative of the Advance had the pleasure of a four through the extensive Uphol- stery factory of Walker and Clegg, which is recognized as one of the most valued of Wingham's industries. Ac- companied by Mr. Clegg, the scribe wended his way through room after room, from floor to floor, and from office to engine room. It was inter- esting to watch the processes of manufacture, and receive the infor- mation so willingly given by Mr. Clegg, who is thoroughly conversant with the business in all its details. This enterprising firm began busi- ness in Wingham about eight years ago in a two storey frame structure about sixty feet long. Compared with present facilities and output, the be- ginning was small, but back of the enterprise were capital, energy, enter- prise, and a thorough knowledge of the business in all its details. Besides these, there was an essential, viz., the manufacture of articles of home com- fort, that people in these days require. The product of this factory is chief- ly Upholstered goods, and these are made in great variety of style. Most of the timber used is American oak, and costs from $00 to $70 per thou- sand feet, and is necessarily of excel- lent quality and grain. The coverings embrace choice plush of English and German manufacture, and beautiful figured silks from the looms of French factories. Handsome d erne and attractive titr'v e as these'are, the less showy and more substantial leather -covered styles are becoming very popular. The great West and New Ontario, where money is plentiful, furnish ex- cellent markets for these goods. For instance, Mr. Clegg showed us a hand- some chair, worth $30 retail. An or- der is now in hand for twenty of these for Mr. Juo. Martin of Cobalt (former- ly of Wawanosh). Another order of eighteen, for a more expensive chair, is booked from New Liskeard. The 'styles of shape, size and finish are numerous, and the difficulty would seem to be -what to choose. We noted some handsome outfits for gen- tlemen's club rooms in Victoria and Winnipeg. The writer well remembers calling on Mr. Clegg, when he was busy fit- ting up the old framebuilding eight years ago, to commence business in Wingham, and the change is wonder- ful. Soon, the business outgrew the 130 foot frame building, and a brick factory, 120 feet long, 40 feet wide and three storeys high was erected. The following year; this proved too small and a fourth storey was added. Many thought the limit was then reached, but tri ! sY ear another addition, t55 x 53 and four storeys high, was erected, and this is now to be steam -heated like the rest of the factory. In addi- tion to this, a fine system of drying - kilns has been completed, capable of containing fifty thousand feet of lum- ber. It appears to be but a question of short time, when the original frame structure will be pulled down and give way to another four storey addition. The firm hopes to see this additional improvement before long. At present, there are in all, about seventy employees, but Mr. Clegg in- formed the reporter, that he hopes before long to increase the number to one hundred. The present conditions in the great market of the West, ren- der it wise to exercise caution. But these conditions are probably only temporary, and ere long more men must be employed. Even now, the wage pay sheet shows from $500 to $000 weekly, or about $30,000 a year. To have this much cash circulated in town means something to the business men of Wingham. Down in the engine room a fine Wheelock engine furnishes the motive power, and in an adjacent room, a 125 horse power boiler generates the steam. Another improvement is contem- plated. A track will soon be laid from. the packing roots in the new addition, to the G. T. R. freight shed. Goods can then be loaded on a hand car in the packing room, and then pushed across to the freight shed, thus saving time and drayage. The show room has some elegant samples of the finished product of this up-to-date factory. The Advaneo wishes the progressive firm of Walker & Clegg continued success and increased business.

A Successful Gathering Of Epworth Leaguers Of Wingham District. A very successful Convention of the Epworth Leagues of the Wingham District was held in Brussels on Tues- day and Wednesday of last week. Some excellent papers and addresses were given, and the delegates were most hospitably entertained by the Brussels people. From the Post, we ;glean the following :- The new Executive purpose making a push in advancing League work in the District. Secretary Rivers looked after his work in excellent form and in a most agreeable manner. A hearty vote of thanks was. passed to the League and friends in Brussels for their generous hospitality. A resolution was adopted that the District Executive be asked to urge the formation of Junior Leagues wherever possible. An interesting discussion was taken part in by a number of delegates as to the advisibilityy of Union Conventions between the Sunday School and Bp - worth League District organiza- tions. The Leaguers were eAked, through the delegates or pastors present, to actively aid in Local Option work both as to its campaigns and the carrying out of its provisions when carried, The Sumpter School question came up for review and expressions of opinion were voiced. Nominating Committee was asked to appoint a Simmer School Committee to work in conjunction with the District Execu- tive. Its members are Mr. Connie°, Kineardine •; D. C. Taylor, Lueknow ; and Rev, E. 0, Powell, Brussels. The report of the Nominating Com- mittee was presented as follows :- Hon. President, Rev. IL W. Locke, I{incardine; President, W. S.

(lay the Local Option Committee,) One hundred Local Option cam- paigns in the Province of Ontario, Intemperance is the greatest social curse of the age, It is the parent curse from which many others spring. It thwarts the work of the Church and breaks down much of the good that ministers of the Gospel are the means of building up. In what Church do we find thor- ough organization of the membership for temperance work ? Inland Revenue returns show a de- crease of forty-five per cent. in excise receipts in Owen Sound district and an increase elsewhere in Ontario. Tho comparison between Owen Sound and other districts is striking. In the Owen Sound district, 35 liquor licenses have been cut off by Local Option. The territory between Georgian Bay and Lake Iinron and about two town- ships wide, is now practically all un- der Local Option. -[Pioneer. Why should the wives and children lack nourishment, sufficient clothing, etc., while the men spend money in buying liquor, which not only injures the system and destroys manhood, but also makes man unreasonable, selfish and deceitful ? Let us rid ourselves of this evil. Citizens awake ! Get busy. Protect the families constantly mov- ing into our town. Remove the temptation from• our boys.

Hearts are aching, aching, aching, Every moment hearts are breaking. Drink is raging, raging, raging, Battled hosts are now engaging. Men are falling, falling, falling, Hear the Master calling, calling. Up, away 1 Up, away ! . For the Master calls the workers out to -day. Is the bar -room a good place to edu- cate the young men who are to be the husbands of our daughters ? Do your boys get good habits in the bar -room, that will make thein good men, or habits that, will make there good-for-nothing men. If no money was spent in bar -rooms, would there not be more good trade, and less bad debts in business ? During the past six years, out of 150 chance's to repeal local option by-laws by a simple majority vote, there has been only one, successful. This surely proves how • satisfactorylocal option works. • "'Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that putteth thy bot- tle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look upon their nakedness."-(Hab. 2: 15.) Can any individual by his vote and influence countenance a business which God has evidently pronounced a woe against. If he does, that woe most assuredly applies to him also. If each. of the five hotels of town have a daily bar income of $20 (which we are led to believe is a very liberal estimate,) money is spent in Wing - ham every 18 months for strong drink to the value of all its hotels. Would not this amount in the pockets of our citizens increase trade to an extent that would greatly off -set the amount lost byfew who nor a would. id elsewhere g o elsewh • e with their trade, because of their in- ability to obtain liquor to drink here. J. C. ROCKWELL'S SUNNY SOUTH CO. After years of experience with the greatest colored shows of recent times and years of endeavor as manager of his own aggregation, J. C. Rockwell has reached a secure place in the recognition of the theatre going pub- lic. To -day, his New Sunny South company, which will appear in the Opera House, Wingham, Thursday evening, Oct. 31st, is one of the strong- est and most complete colored shows ever sent on the road. Mr. Rockwell does not believe in putting the greater part of his salary allotment into one or two acts and allowing the balance of the performance to suffer through the employment of cheaper ones, which always disgust the experienced patron, but he has found that the ex- penditure of money for the purpose of making each act And detail complete, pays twice over in the receipts. This explains why the Sunnyy South Co. always gives unbounded satisfaction. The company is composed of 25 color- ed people, eaeh and everyone an ex- pert in specialty work, who do every- thing funny that derides can do so well, and keep the andieneo in a con- stant state of laughter and excitement from &tart to finish. The high-class solo concert band which accompanies the organization, will head the "Boon" town parade at noon. Seats are now on sale at McKibbon's drug store. Prices, 25, $5 and 50 ets.

Bell are in Southampton this week. They have definitely decided to engage in the manufacture of furniture there, and have purchased the Southampton fac- tory, so that their future location is definitely settled. They are now tak- ing stock, and get possession this week. Air. H. 0. Bell will remove very soon, but Mr. Bell, sr., will re- main here until spring. We fear, that eventually, this purchase means the removal of several families from our town. Say, "The Little • Eaton" is swell. My, they have beautiful Ladies' Coats at "The Little Eaton." Business Brisk. Bev. Wm. Lowe, of London, form- erly Rector of St. Paul's, Wingham, writes the Advance as follows :-"Per- haps some of my Wingham friends will be glad to hear that I have been doing a rushing business of late in the matrimonial line. I have united six couples since Sept. at five dollars per couple. Among them my old friend Wm. Dawson, of Culross. I would like to tie up some of the many old bachelors, elo if not all, in , Win ham D. Wingham, Bell, W. Greer, Dr. Agnew and others. My people gave one hundred and ten dollars last Sunday at our Thanksgiving Services, besides one hundred and fifty dollars the week be- fore for the Jubilee Fund. They cer- tainly have done wonders in the last two years." Death Of Mrs. Archer. There passed away on Friday last, at the home of her father, Mr. John Pugsley, Mary Nettie, beloved wife of Mr. Wm. Archer, of Hullet township. Deceased had been in ill health for several months with a complication of troubles, and two weeks prior to her death, she came to Wingham, think- ing the change would do her good. But disease had gained such inroads upon her system, that she gradually grew worse and passed away on the 18th. Mrs. Archer was born near Hamilton in the township of Bin - brook. She leaves no family except her bereaved husband. She leaves several sisters, one, Miss Eunice lives in W ingbam with her father ; an- other, Mrs. Small resides near Clin- ton, and a third is, Mrs. Parsons of Bayfield. Deceased was a member of the Methodist Church, and when in health, took an active part in church work. The bereaved family feel grateful for the kindness of Wing - ham ladies during their trouble, and appreciate the kindly sympathy indi- cated by the floral tributes.

The students of the Wingham High School have formed a Literary Society. The election of its first Exe- cutive was held on Tuesday and the various offices were keenly contested. If the enthusiarn manifested is a criterion, it is safe to say that this feature of high school life will be de- cidedly popular. At the close of the afternoon session the "electors" gath- ered in large numbers in the As- sembly Room to listen to the speeches of the successful candidates.

Thursday evening of this week is the date of the Supper and Concert under the auspices of the Ladies' Auxiliary of Wingham Hospital. Supper served from 5.30 to 8; concert to follow. The ladies of the Auxiliary are grateful to all who have assisted in this work, especially to those in the country who have promised assist- ance.- It was pot possible for the ladies to call on every one, but to all who have in any way contributed to the Supper, or promised contributions to the support of the Hospital during the coming winter, the sincere thanks of the Auxiliary are tendered. The New Bank. Though late in the season, the work has begun in earnest for the erection of the fine new home of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. Mr. Mackenzie, who purchased the old buildings on the site has removed then, and pur- poses using the material er'a•1 t o construct dwelling -houses. The surveyor was here on Monday taking levels, etc., and material is now being put on the ground. The contract has been given to the Provincial Construction Co., of Toronto, and the representa- tive of the Company, Mr. Betts, is here and will remain throughout the progress of the work. Mr. Betts pro- mises to have the buildings ready for occupation by the first of January next. Now is the time to invest your money in Fall and Winter Footwear. Great values at W. J. Greer's. Brussels Burglarized. "Troubles seldom come alone" it is said, and this was again proven by Postmaster Farrow. Last week Mrs. Farrow died (see items under Brus- sels) and Mr. Farrow returned on Sat- urday from Thorndale, where inter- ment took place. Early the next morning, apparently between two and three o'clock, burglars entered the Postoffice by one of the back win- dows, and blew open the safe, and took everything that was of value, in- cluding $153 worth of stamps, $9t in cash, besides $50 Mr. Farrow had laid there, with which to pay funeral era1 ex- penses of his wife, and some valuable documents. The report of the ex- plosion was heard by about six per- sons, but not hearing an more noise, , they did not make any stir. The burglars had a rig _and one of the vil- lagers heard the rig going south at a rapid rate. Provincial detective Greer was in Brus"sels on Monday try- ing to get some clew, also Deputy P. 0. Inspector Fisher from London. Death Of Joseph Clegg. Our Belgrave correspondent has favored us with the following refer- ence to the death of Mr. Joseph Clegg, of Morris, which occurred on Satur- day last. Mr. Clegg was a highly- respected- resident of Mortis, and one of the first settlers of the township. For some time past, his health had not been in the very best condition, and yet the end came suddenly and very unexpectedly to his family and to the community. The cause is ascribed to heart -failure. Mr, Clegg n od c S was born i G c,rr h township, wnshiP+ abort sixty-seven years ago, and came to Morris with the rest of his father's family, about fifty years ago. They settled on the 5th line, near Sunshine, and there he lived continuously until the messenger came. He followed the business of buying and exporting cattle and was therefore widely known throughout the country. Mr. Clegg was a member of the Metho- dist Church, an official of the Bel- gravt, circuit, and one of the pillars of the Sunshine appointment. In poli- tical matters, he adhered to the Con- servative party, and was a member of Brussels L. 0. L., who laid their de- ceased brother to rest with the ritual of the Order. Mr, Clegg will not only be missed by his family, but by the surrounding country. He leaves a sorrowing widow, two sons -John, on the faun at Sunshine, and R. 3., of Belgrave, and two daughters-Lindia and Frankie, itt home. Win. Clegg, formerly of Wingham, and Frank, of Washington territory (formerly of Morris) are brothers of deceased. The remains were laid to rest in Sun- shine cemetery en Tuesday afternoon, service being eonducted by his pastor, Rev. G. W. Revers, assisted by Rev. Geo. Miter of Biuovale, and Ices'. A. 1. Jones of Auburn. The funeral was it very large one. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the community, in their sorrow. WANTin,-..Chioice flub Butter, 240 to 27c, Fresh Eggs, 22e to 23c.

Borden, who removed from Wingham to London about three years ago, met with an accident on Friday last.
