A special meeting of Maitland Pres-

on June 20th, in connection with a call
to a minister, for Whitechurch and
Langside Presbyterian Churches.
Ensign. Poole farewelled at the S. A,
l3erracks on Thursday evening. He
was an earnest worker, and the Wing -
ham corps showed their appreciation.
of his efforts by presenting him with
a set of Silver linivee. These will
prove useful, as the Ensign is said to
be contemplating matrimony•
l'he pulpit of the Methodist church
was supplied last Sunday by Rev. J.
Greene of Clinton. Mr. Greene is in
the fiftieth year of :tris ministry, and
still is quite active,, although superan-
nuated. Hewill preach next Sunday
also in Wingham. Rev, N, Burwash
of Wingham entered the ministry the
same year as. Mr, Greene, and hence is
also in his jubilee year. •
Children's Day.
Sunday was Children's Day at the
Baptist Church, ,consequently it was.
one of unusual interest, not only to
scholars, but also to parents and
friends. Supt. Pringle can justly feel
proud of the standing of the school,
with an efficient staff of teachers and
a fine lot of scholars; bright, intelli-
gent girls and boys. In the morning
they turned out in full force, and Rev,.
W. L. Steeves gave them an, interest-
ing Biblical talk. The afternoon ses-
sion was very interesting -"The Mes-
sage Of The Flowers," the opening
piece, was sung by the Young Reapers
after which Mr. Cosmos gave afiftcen
minute review, spicy and attractive.
The children followed with the real
program of the afternoon, ""The Mes-
sage Of The Flowers," reflecting great
credit upon Mrs. Pringle and ' Mrs,
Hanna in the way it was rendered.
These ladies must have taken great
pains and given much time in the
training of the little ones, or the re-
sultswould not have been so perfect.
It was our privilege to look through
the rooms of the schools. which have
been renovated and fixed up in Splen-
did style. They are now so arrang-
ed that Supt. Pringle smilesall over
his . face, and declares that with, the
help of J. Wilds they could, build a
new church if it were necessary. -

TWO TOWN BX•LAWS,
On Mondaduly 20th, the property-
owners of Town will be asked tp ap-
prove or disapprove of two By-laws.
The first, No, 586, deals with the
question of a supply of pure water,
and authorizes the raising by deben-
tures of .$0,000 to be spent in securing
water for domestic purposes, As to
how this money will be expended, see
report of engineer in Council minutes,
in another column. The debentures
are spread oyer -twenty years, and it
will be necessary to raise each year,
$270 interest and' $188 02 for sinking
fund, or $153.02, As the waterworks
is now bringing in a revenue, the in-
creased revenue ought to, meet the
debenture annually. Two things are
much needed in Wingham--a system
of sewerage and pure water. We can-
not have both just now, but the passage
of this. By-law will be progress in one
direction at least.
The second By-law provides for
raising $4.000 to meet a deficiency in
the Sinking fund of the Town Hall
debt. It seems that for part of the
time. nothing was raised towards the
Sluicing Fund. The $1000 must be
paid in September, and the Town must
either raise it all this year by tax-
ation, or issue debentures, The lat-
ter method has been chosen by the
Council, and the ratepayers are asked
to approve of this. The amount to be
raised annually will be $182 interest
and $122.02 sinking fund.
The first By-law will be seen in
the Times in full, and the second will
appear next week in the Advance.
WORDS OF FAREWELL.
To the Editor of the Advance.
DEAR SIR As my work is almost

never forget. 1.desire to express the
pleasure I have had in nay three years'
sojourn in this beautiful northern
town, and shall carry away with me
many pleasant and grateful memories.
of its people. 1 have found many
friends among all the different Chris-
tian denominations, and have been
pleased to reciprocate their friendship.
To the members of my own Church
and congregation, I extend my most
gatfuIthanks. I no

to do for them all my heart longed to
do, but am glad to know, through
many letters sent to me, and through
hundreds of testimonies freely given

pulpit and in the pastorate has been
most gratefully appreciated, and
through the blessing of God has left
behind it abiding comfort and inspira-
tton.
To the same christian love and kind-

To Keep Light Dresses Clean.
Magnesia may be obtained either in
powder or in square cakes. and it is
very effective in cleaning laces and
delicate fabrics. Sift or rub it on the
parts to be cleaned, and lay them away
in a box or drawer where they will be
undisturbed for a day or so, and then
shake them out. It is a very good
plan to apply the magnesia in this way
when putting away party dresses that
have become slightly soiled. The
magnesia absorbs the dust, and when
you take the dresses out to wear them
the next time, they will be fresh and
dainty. The magnesia is also effective,
when applied in the same way, for
removing grease spots. -Woman's

Wingham's Bands.
Who says Wingham isn't well sup-
pled with bands ? First, we have our
excellent Citizens' Band, which has
almost a world-wide reputation for
w e
discoursing good music, and which de-
lights' large audiences in. the Park
every Friday evening (except when
the weather is unfavorable.) Then
there is the Salvation Army Band,
whose selections of sacred music are
always enjoyed and appreciated d a -most every evening of the week. And
last, but not least, we have the North
Star Flute Band, otherwise known as
the Fife and Drum Band, which only
favors us occasionally with some mus-
ic, but which ie an attractive feature
of the Glorious Twelfth "walks."

sion that the True Blues only adtnit

ed them in their noble cause, and wish
