SUBSCRIPTION $1.00 PRIG Ylraa• IN A»»VANCE, $1,50 TO Souaicausi as irr U. 13, THANKSGIVING. To -day, October 81st, is the day set apart for National Thanksgving, and yet it is quite possible that many in- dividuals will puss the day • without one single grateful thought towards the Giver of all good. Ingratitude is a sin, one of the basest. To receive daily the abundant supply, food, raiment, blessings of home life, Health, comforts, eta, etc., and not send up to. the great. Giver one gratefulthought; stamps the re- cipient of all these things as an in- grate ; and who does'nee'despise such Mere satisfaction with.,our circum- stances or environments is not grati- tude. We may be satisfied with the blessings that fall to Or lot, and de- vout gratitude be entirely • absent. Such. a. • condition --is described .by Burns, where•he pays :— "Some tae meat and canna eat, And some would eat that want it ; But we here meat and we can eat, Sae let the Lord be thankit." True gratitude goes farther. • It re- cognizes the source of our.. blessings, and so,touehes our lives ural we re- spond, by giving Him our love, de- votion, and obedience. The gratitude that does not (to some extent) influ- ence our lives can scarcely be worth the name. We have not space to .enlarge upon the cause for gratitude to auy extent. Suffice it to say, that, there are abun- dant reasons for thanksgiving, if we look at it from either a n atiou alz a community, or a family standpoint. Leaving national blessings aside, as a community, there is much cause for gratitude. Business men have per- haps not made money, but none have gone down under financial burdens, and all are hopeful, Our .factories have not been"idle, and there has been plenty of work for the .toiler at fair wages. True, the increased cost of living has made inroads on the week- ly wage, but there is an absence of poverty and want, while a majority have abundance,. There bave been bereavements, . it. is 'true, and Death has brought 'sorrow to' some homes, but' we "have" a •healthy.Town, and no epidernie bas scourged: our families or brobght`to`s'-ivide-spread sorrow. So that, as 11,, ,rnrpunity, we have cause forgrat:tlude,.aside from the national standpoint. When we come to consider the question of individual 'thanksgiving, it is ton large • to dilute on here. If we ciinn'ot ;count .our blessings, the conscientious endeavour to do so, will reveal many causes for gratitude. It was Shakespeare who would have every day one of thanks : "Let never day nor night unhallowed pass, But ,still remember what the Lord hath done." SUPPER AND .CONCERT, Successful Effort by Ladies' Auxiliary of the Hospital. The Ladies Auxiliary of Wingharn Hospital deserve credit for their un- tiring efforts in behalf of the institu-• tion. The supper and concert on Thursday last, under their auspices met with• gratifying success. • Supper was served in the, Council Chamber and. "many cotnplimentary remarks were passed as to the excellence of the edibles,..« .• Froin 5.30 till eight. o'clock, • the ladies ivez•e• busy. The writer .does not rc nember eyer seeing so large a number o£, people served with so much ease And: with less confusion. The arrangements had eertaiply been well made, and were successfully carried out. The progrdrn 9n the anditorium be- gan soon after eight, and was entirely furnished by local. talent. .Ian this• line, Wingham takes no back scat, and the program was sufficient evi- dence of this fact. Prineipal 'Mus- grove presided' in his usual excellent style. Among the numbers• on the program, we might mention—the Chairman's address; instrumental solos by Miss Grant ; vocal selections by Misses Griffin and Mason, Messrs. Cline and Hill ; song ' by Masters Claude and Clayton Maxwell ; solos by Miss Mason, Miss Griffin, •Mr. Gales and Dr, J. Tamlyri ; recitations by E. W. Tamlyn ; duet 'by Mas- ters Louis and Joe Haroldaddresses, by Revs. Allen, Perrie . and Lauren - dean; This varied program 'was en- joyed by the audience, and the enter- tainment closed with the National Anthem. The cheerfulness with which assisa tance was rendered .was a pleasing feature. Provisions .were liberally provided, and the waiters• performed their duties very .satisfactorily. The supper was one of the best managed affairs of the kind ever held in town. The receipts were very satisfactory and, including donations of • supplies. amounted to $200.00. Heathendom has no Thanksgiving Day. It is a product of Christendom —the expressionr essionspring- ing of gratitude itude sp rt a - ing from a confident belief in a Divine and beneficent government' of the world. All this is implied and ac- knowledged in the official order -in - council setting apart a day for na- tional thanksgiving. One of the first occasions of the kind was in Leyden, Holland, in 1775, for deliverance from siege. In America, the observance of Thanksgiving day dates back to Nov. 20th, 1789, when George Wash- ington made a proclamation of such.a day in New York. • Let us appreciate the blessings we enjoy, and may the selfish element that sometimes appears even in thank- fulness, be expunged. There is room for sober thought to discern the real spirit and meaning of Thanksgiving day. It should not be merely an occa- sion of feasting or frivolity. . THE LOCAL MARKETS.

Miss Mabel Snell, who .is engaged with the Calgary Milling Co., is now receiving a salary of Seven Hundred and Twenty dollars pec year. This estimable young lady had only a com- mon school education before spending a few months at the Wingham Bnst- ness College, from which she gradu- ated, in Stenography, jest nine months ago. With three years' ex- perience, she will no doubt be receiv- ing One Thousand. Surely Stenog- raphy is better than school teaching for any young lady.

After a brief illness, Mr, Henry Ball, one of Wingham's most respected citizens, passed away on Wednesday evening of last week. Exactly three weeks prior to the day of his death, deceased took in, and during that period was conscious only at brief in- tervals. He had been n remarkably healthy nian, scarcely knowing what a day's illeess was, but the breaking up of the • tenement came suddenly and unexpectedly..Decensed was born in Wiltshire,' England, _over 80 years ago, and came to Canada with his parents when five years of age, sett- ling first in Dutnmer township. A few yeare later the family found a home in Uxbridge. In 1876, Mr. Ball removed his family to Grey township, near Brussels, where he resided for nearly 25 years. About seven years ago, his sons commenced business here, and Mr, Ball retired from the farm and came to reside in Wingham. He was of a quiet, retiring disposition, upright and conscientious. In politi- cal matters, he was a strong supporter of the Conservative party, never wav- ering in his allegiance. As a member of the Methodist Church, and one .of the Church Trustees, he was held in 'high esteem, and' was seldom absent from the services of the Church. The funeral took place on Sunday after- noon to Wingharn cemetery, Rev. W. re i service, Howson conducting the eryt s i , during which he referred to the Chris- tian character of the deceased. Be- sides his widow, he leaves four sons- one in British Columbia, Dr. Bali of Toronto, John and Luther of Fort. William, There are also four daugh- ters—Mrs. Copp of Vancouver, Misses Rosanna, Libby and Hannah, at home. The family have sincere sympathy in their bereavement, especially as Mrs. Ball is in very poor health. church 1Rews7 Rev. T. S.

Our winter's store of coal has been stored away in the lower regions— namely, the cellar. A piano has been installed in the Assembly room, and melodious strains. such as Silver Bells, and numbers from Mozart, Bach, •etc., echo through the corridors during the time the classes are not in 'session. The Executive of the Litera,ry So- ciety have chosen the' staff for the High School Journal, which is to be edited weekly, and to be read at each meeting. The staff is as follows :— Editor-in-chief—Gordon Duncan ; as- sistant journalists — Miss O. Cruik- shank, Miss R. Clegg, Roy Gallagher and J, Mitchell. The paper is to . be strictly neutral in its politics, bat pro- mises to be one of literary excellence, and gives an opportunity to the aspir- ing poets and journalists of our High School, The excitement resulting from the' recent election of officers for the Liter- ary Society has subsided, and it now remains for the successful candidates to put forward their best efforts t make the Society a pronounced suc- cess, since it is the first Literary Soci- ety that has been organized in the Wingharn High School, We are "sorry to add that two of the candidates have been under the weather since election day; one from excessive joy over her election, the other from ex- cessive mortification over her defeat, though she terms it "toothache." Double Wedding. Ope of these exceedingly interesting events enlivened the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Willets, of Turnberry, on Wednesday of this week. The brides are, Miss May Willets who was wed- ded to Mr. John Henry, and Miss Vic- toria Willets, who became Mrs. Percy Copeland. Particulars next week. ByElections.

East Northumberland, Owens (Con- servative); majority, 256. North Wel- lington, Martin (Liberal); majority, 387. The lime -light views of the Old Land, given by Dr. Macdonald in the Assembly room Tuesday evening, were very much enjoyed by. all, They proved both interesting and instruc- tive. We also bad a speech from Mr. i J. T. Currie, Warden of our County. The meeting closed by a vote of thanks to Dr. Macdonald, the singers and speakers. The vote was moved by Mr. Harry Green and seconded by Mr, W. Earngey, thanking them for all the scenes they had sung and the songs they had seen (slightly mixed but sincere). Mr. Thos. Robinson, our new President, filled the chair very acceptably, and gave an excellent chairman's address. Next Sunday's services at Paul's Church will commemorate the, Dio- cesan Jubilee. Special music 'will be rendered, and the addresses'norning and evening will be on subjects relat- ing to church extension.' In the Baptist church, next Load's' Day morning,' the pastor will preach on "The Fifth Beatitude ,• . or the Blessedness of the Merciful" .In the evening, the pastor will deliver the fourth sermon on the 'Lord's Prayer entitled, "The Brotherhood of 13e-. lievers."

If there could be "as much or more intoxicants" sold in prohibition locali- ties as in those where licenses pre- vail, liquor men would not spend thousands of dollars to fight prohibi- tion. They might prefer that their than should be business she cl legal rasher t illegal, but they would not pay out barge sums of money to fight pro- hibition if the profits on the liquor trade were as large or larger under it than under license. The liquor men know perfectly well on which side their bread is buttered. They are under no illusions in their fight against prohibition. They are not paying out their money for sentiment, •and this silly lie ought to be dropped by all who mean to be honest, or who want to be considered honest.

The recently issued excise returns show the following excise receipts for the District of Owen Sound. Month- ly average for year 1905.1900, $2530.29; monthly average for 9 months of 1907, $1402.74, or a decrease under Local Option of 45 per cent. Every other district in Ontario shows an increase, Bear in mind, in the Owen Sonnd District, 35 Liquor Licenses have been cut off by Local Option. 'Owen Sound, Southampton, Tara, and the townships of Sydenham, Derby, Keppel, Amabel, Arran, San- geen and Bruce, are all under Local Option in this district. Now be honest and say that Local Option does materially reduce the consumption of liquor! Owen Sound Board of Trade is not a temperance society nor .a religious institution, but they are responsible for saying, that the past year was the hest business year in, the history of Owen Sound t Local Option, therefore,.- does not hurt business.

At one time, it looked as if the pro- posed Button -Dore Carriage factory scheme would fall through for want of suitable site, where power was avail- able. Mr. Button wanted to build ad- jacent to Bennett's factory so as to obtain necessary power, and hence a site on the town park, or G. T. R, pro- perty was necessary, The former was not regarded favorable, and the Coun- cil communicated with the G. T. R. After some delay, the Engineer came up and looked over the ground, and recommended the lease. On Tuesday, the Town Clerk received a letter from U. E. Gillen, Superintendent of the G., T. R., stating that he had consider- ed the application and report of the Engineer, and would reeommend the lease to the Board, So that the mat- ter of the site is practically settled. `Mr. Button is spending the winter in New York State, and he has been in- formed of the Railway Company's decision.

A shocking accident occurred in the cement works at Atwood, on Satur- day evening, about eight o'clock, Mr. Veneer Felice, one of the employees, being instantly killed. It is not ex- actly known how he met his death, but it appears he had fallen or in some• way came in contact with one of the large belts which run the cement grinders, while oiling or attending to his duties as grinder. The bead was completely severed from the body, and was found at a considerable dis- tance from the body. Mr. Felice came to Atwood this summer from Italy, along with a few of his German also working in the hu who were chums, employ of the cement company. He was much respected by the men who worked with him, and was a steady, industrious fellow, and was looked upon by his comrades as a father, and they feel- deeply the loss of their friend.
