—With butte•, eggs and other neces-
saries of life away up in price, now
comes the sad news of a great advance
in the price of diamonds.
« ««
—An exchange says—"Beer will
make n man fat." Yes, and we have
known it to make him lean, that is
if there was anything near for him to
lean against.
« «
—A Chicago exchange tells about a
man in that city who has attempted
to commit suicide six times within a
year, A bad habit like that will be
the death of him some day.
« ««
—The editorial in the Advance two
weeks ago, on "bower going to waste"
seems to have attracted considerable
attention. This week, we received a
lengthy communication on the mat-
ter, which we are obliged to hold over
till next week,
—It pays to do things well. T.
Patchell of Clarkson attended to his
strawberry patch well, and from two
acres, he had 11,661 quarts of fruit.
After he paid the commission to
'i wholesaler to handle them in the city,
he had $1214, or $612 per acre.
« ««
—New Jersey forecasters are predict-
ing a mild winter in that State.
Reasons—squirrels are not making
great stores of food, and snakes have
not buried themselves below the. frost
line, but were turned up in fall plow-
ing. That may be so, and yet there
are people in the same State, who not
only plowed them up, but "saw
snakes" when there wasn't one within
a mile of them.
« ««
—Hon. Sydney Fisher, Minister of
Agriculture met a number of the
farmers of West Kent recently to dis-
cuss the regulations as to hogs.. Mat-
ters did not go very smoothly, and
finally the hon. gentleman caused an
uproar, by intimating that a farmer
in Kent who could not make money
in fattening and selling live hogs at
five cents a pound, did not know his
business. West Kent farmers resent-
ed this, and it was only by making an
apology for his hasty remark, that
the Minister of Agriculture succeeded
• in quieting the storm he had raised.

—There are indications of the butter
market being somewhat easier, and
this will be good news to the consum-
er. When the price of butter in Ca-
nadian cities goes up as it has, to 30
and 35e per pound, it has reached the
point where, it pays to bring in Irish
and Danish butter. It is a fact, that
Irish butter is now selling in Montreal
at 25c to 30c a pound, and' wilt soon be
on the Toronto market. It is said
that some Canadian farmers are hold-
ing their butter in the hope of higher
prices. It would be well to remember
that if the butter of Ireland and Den-
mark is shipped here in large quanti-
ties, there will be no danger of a
scarcity, and it is quite within the
rauge of possibility, that lower prices
will prevail. Some have argued, that
with butter at 25c now (and 35c in the
cities) ere winter is over, 50e will be
obtained, but with the Danish and
Jo, Irish article shipped in, this is not
likely to be realized.

By -Law Approved.
For a while, there was uncertainty
as to whether debentures could be
issued for the extensions of water-
works made during the past summer,
without submitting the By-law to the
people. Application was made to the
Railway ad Municipal Board forper-
mission to issue the debentures. The
Town Clerk has received notice
that the Board has approved of the
By-law, and hence the debentures
may be issued.

Last Sunday, was missionary day in
Wingham Methodist church. Rev.
Jas. Livingston, pastor of Wel-
lington street Methodist Church.
was the speaker for the day.
The congregations were large, and Mr
Livingston's discourses were listened
to attentively. Ho is a good speaker,
and has a pleasing delivery. He did
not deem it necessary to make a very
strong appeal, because Wingharn
Methodist Church has a record in the
London Conference along that line,
and this year, an effort will be made
to reach $1,000 for missions, and it is
expected that when the contributions
are all in, the total will toach.the high
mark aimed at, The editor of this
paper was delighted to meet Mr. Liv-
ingston, whom he knew as a young
man, before he entered the ministry.

able program. Chair taken at 8 p.m.

Instructive And Enjoyable.
A very pleasant evening was spent
by the A. Y. P. A. of 'St. Paul's on
Monday last. Mr. Taylor, Principal
of Wingham High School gave a very
instructive address on the wonderful
possibilities of Science, dealing par-
ticularly with "Wireless Telegraphy".
Reference was made to the amazing
progress of the present age. Mr. Tay-
lor's address was much appreciated,
and he was tendered a sincere and
hearty vote of thanks.
A Curiosity.
Mr. Joseph Smith of the southeast-
ern part of Morris township has a cane
that is a curiosity. On it are carved a
number of animals ; among them, a
turtle, a fox, snake, toad, hound, and
several others. The handle is hollow,
and within it are two balls. It cer-
tainly must have taken a long time
and a great deal of patience. What
makes it the more remarkable is the
fact that the work was all done with a
jack-knife, and the 'figures are well
executed. It was carved by Mr.
Smith's father, who began the work
after he had reached the great age of
05. We need scarcely say that it is
much treasured by Mr. Smith and his
family.
JUST ARRIVED.—Fresh groceries for

AWawao
n sh Pioneer.
On Wednesday, the 20th inst., an-
other of the pioneers of West Wawa -
nosh, Mr. Thos. Alexander, passed to
his Iong home, after an illness of two
weeks. Deceased was a native of Ire-
land and had been a resident of the
township for thirty-five years. He
was well-known in Wingham and sur-
rounding country as an honest, frugal
and industrious man. He was a mem-
her of St. Helens Presbyterian
Church, and was respected by all who
knew him. In political matters, be
was an adherent of the Conservative
party. Two daughters are dead, and
there remain three sons and two
daughters. Two sons and one daugh-
ter still remain at home. Mr. .Alex-
ander had reached the age of 87. Tho
funeral on Friday was attended by a
large number from the surrounding
country, who thus evidenced their
respect for the deceased, and sym-
pathy for the bereaved.

Lower Wingham Accident.
On Wednesday of last week, Sandy
Finlay met with a serious accident.
He was out shooting rabbits, when
the breech of his gun burst, Not only
was the gun blown to pieces, but
Sandy was badly hurt. His arm,
head and face•were lacerated, and the
doctor bad to be called in to attend to
the wounds. Too heavy a charge of
smokeless powder is said to have been
the cause of the accident.
Band Concert.
An excellent program is in store
for those who attend the Band Con-
cert on Friday evening. Besides the
Band, Prof. Cline's quartette, Mr.
Gales, Miss H. Brandon and others,

ductor. Admission, only 10 cts.
Watch for programs, but be sure to
•buy a ticket and help the Band.
Temperance at St. Paul's.
Rev. T. S. Boyle gave an address on
Temperance lust Sunday evening, on
the text, Phil, 2 :4. Taking the
Scriptural side, he quoted our Lord's
action at Cana, and his institution of
tate holy Communion, together with
the fact of Itis being termed a "wine-
bibber," in contradistinction to the
Baptist, who vowed to take no Strong
drink. He thought, that prohibition
was therefore not enjoined or de-
manded by the : the IsTew Testament. It
could not be argued though, that it
was not in many eases Advisable. Ire
quoted also Dent. 14 : 25, 26, and said
such verses taught hitt to be cautious
and moderate in his ianguage. Turn-
ing to the economic side, he dealt
with some interes ing, but sesurpri t
n
g
figures, showing the results of exces-
sive drinking, and these, he declared,
were greatly to be deplored. Discuss-
ing methods of reform, he declined to
give an opinion, his aim being to in-
dulge in facts only. Ile thought the
licenses were in good hands in Wing -
ham, and hold that great good could
be effected by seeing to it that only
then of principle obtained licenses,
tie urged, in closing, onr personal re-
sponsibility, for our own sakes to bo
strong, and for the sake of others, to
show a good example.

After a lingering illness of over
two years, Miss Hattie McDonald

on Sunday, the 24th inst., in her
21st year. The young lady former-
ly lived in Wingham and bad made
many friends since going to Mit-
chell. Deceased was a daughter of
Mrs. D. S. McDonaId, but for some
years past had resided with her sister,
Ales. Thos. Dodds of Mitchell. The
funeral took place Wednesday at
2.30 o'clock to the Presbyterian

Encouraging.
Air. Ferguson, Town Clerk, has re-
ceived a letter from the Superinten-
dent of the Grand Trunk Railway, in
reference to the site asked for along-
side the track, for the proposed Car-
riage factory. The letter says that
the plans have been prepared, show-
ing location of track and factory, and
the Superintendent has no doubt
whatever, but the plans will be ap-
proved. As soon as that is done, Mr.
Button will be notified, The outlook
for the new Carriage factory is now
encouraging.
Sunday School Entertainment.
The annual entertainment in con-
nectionwas held
with Mizpah S. S. 1 1
d
in Currie's school (S. S. No. 0, E. Wa-
wanosh) on Friday evening, Nov. 22.
Mr. Jos. Kerr acted as chairman, and
a good programme was carried out.
One number that caused considerable
applause was a motion song by a num-
ber of small boys and girls. Much of
the success of the entertainment was
due to the efforts of Miss Squire,
teacher, assisted by Air. and Mrs. Jas,
Fyfe, who spent considerable time in
training the children.

Heaps of Trouble.
The Executive committee of the
Town Council has been having heaps
of trouble at the electric plant end of
the town. Only recently, a dynamo
gave way ; fortunately a new (hut
smaller one) had just been installed,
and it bore the load bravely until an-
other could be secured. This was put
in place last week, and it was hoped
that thethe troublo was over, when the
engine went to pieces, necessitating
sending it to Galt for renewal of some
of its parts. The old engine was tried,
but it was not equal to the emergency,
or rather shook the establishment so
much that it was not considered safe
to use it. The result is that light can
only be furnished while the supply of
water holds out. The Executive have
not had a bed of roses this year, but
they are doing their best under diffi-
culties.

A RipeAge.
Old A
On Friday last, Mrs. McDonald, an
aged and respected resident of town,
passed away, at the residence of her
son, Mr. D. E. McDonald. Deceased
was born in Inverness, Scotland, and
had reached the advanced age of
ninety years. Her maiden name was
Miirgaret Clark, and she was united
to her deceased husband, in the old
land, in 1810. They immigrated to
Canada in 1840, and thirty-seven years
ago took up their residence in Ash-
field township. To them were born
twelve children, of whom seven have
passed away, The surviving ones are
s Irs. Humes of Detroit, Mrs. Misner of
Windsor, Mrs. Thurlow of Crewe,
John, of Goderich, and David E., of
Wingham. Mrs. McDonald was a
Presbyterian, but was broad in her
views, and was a faithful attendant
upon church services, as shown by the
fact, that there was no Presby-
terian church near her, for twenty
years she attended the services of the
Methodist Church. The funeral took
place on Sunday to the family bury-
ing -ground. at Dungannon.
An Aged Resident Gone.
There passed away on Sunday last,
residence of her son,an aged
at theg
and respected resident of Wingham,
Mrs. Guest, relict of the late John
Guest. Her maiden name was Char-
lotte White, and she was born in'l'ip-
perary county, Ireland, in 1831. When
about six years of age, she came with
her parents to Canada, settling in
London township. Thirty years ago
she carne to Huron county, and for the
past t ttventY3 ears has
been a resident
of Winghaun. Her husband passed
on before, about twenty-seven years
ago. Eight sons were born to them,
two of whom aro ntutbered with the
dead. The others are—William of
Wingham, J. W. and J. V. in Chi-
cago, Frank, Robert and George in
the West. Mrs. Guest was almost a
life•Iong member of the Methodist
Church, and while in health was a
regular attendant upon the services.
For some time past the infirmities of
old age had been creeping on her, and
a few weeks ago site sustained a very
heavy fall, which, on account count of inter.
c
nal injuries, possibly hastened the
end. The funeral took. place Tuesday
to f.ucknow cemetery.
