' ewe A special meeting of Maitland Pres- bytery will be held at Whitechurch 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. - Corn. Wroxeter. Confectionery-LI;NvoX, Wingham. Mr. and Mrs. R.

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 at an end in this town, would you be kind enough to allow me space in your paper for a few words of farewell. .I desire, first of all, to tender to the Local press, my very sincere thanks for the unremunerated privilege of announcing the subjects of my ser- mons through your columns, week by week, and also for the many kind and appreciative references to my work in the pulpit and out of it. These I shall 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 r ehave able t been 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 to me in person, that my work in the 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- ly-co-operation, ind- 1Yco-o er tin•n, Icommend my suc- cessor in the ministry of this Gospel, the Rev. Dr. Rutledge.

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 Home Companion for June,. Feast of Days. The members of St. Paul's branch of the A. Y, P.
