Another Bouquet.
The Wroxeter Planet threw the fol-
lowing fragrant bouquet at us last
week : "The Wingham Advance which
has just entered upon its 381h year of
publication is without doubt the best
local paper which comes to this sanc-
tum. It is well edited, elegantly
printed on good paper, neatly gotten
up, and the ads. are very artistic, It
is a credit to Editor Hall and staff,
and is ft good model for others to
follow."
Business Change.
A business change takes place in
Wingham this week, Ebner Moore
having disposed of his restaurant
business to Mr. Robt. Johnston of
Markdale. Stock is being taken as
we write this item, and it is likely
that by the time the Advance is in the
hands of the readers, that the transfer
will have been made. Mr, and Mrs.
Johnston were residents of Wingham
for several years, and to them it will
be like coming back home. Wingham
is a good place to come back to, and
we wish Mr. and Mrs, Johnston suc-
cess. Mr. Moore intends to go west,
we understand.
Next Tuesday And Wednesday.
These are the days chosen for our
fall fair, and the Directors are hoping
for fine weather. There are indica-
tions of a large number of entries and
good attendance. Everyone should
take an interest in the Fair. The
more it prospers, the more the Direc-
tors will be able to offer for prizes and
the more attractions they will be able
to secure. Everybody lend a hand to
make Wingham Fall Fair the best in
this section of country. See advt. for
particulars. On Wednesday evening,
the annual concert will be held in the
Town Hall. It will be given by the
Hewer Concert Co. The artists will

dian ; Elliott Webb, the boy soprano,

Poverty Social.
The Epworth League held a',Pover-
ty Social" on Monday evening, at
which there was a fair attendance..
The various costumes worn by the
members were the cause of much
laughter, A program was given, with
Benson Oruiksbank acting as chair-
man, as follows :-Instrumental duet
by Misses M. Hammond and L. Kerr ;
solos by Gerry Willis and Jos. Guest;
recitation by Mise Copeland ; address-
es by Miss Morton and Rev. Dr. Rut-
ledge. After the program, an excel-
lent lunch° was served. The judges
decided that Earle Hall wore the
worst costume, and a cordin 1
he re-
ceived a vote of thanks, moved by A.
H. Wilford and seconded by E. A.

Well Spent Money.
The Farmer's Advocate points out
that eighty to one hundred dollars
will put an intelligent, thrifty, indus-
trious Ontario farmer's son, with a
High School Entrance standing,
through the first year at the Ontario
Agricultural College, paying all ex-
penses, including books, clothes, board
and railway fare, providing he is will-
ing to put in some spare time work-
ing, at about eight cents an hour, in-
stead of playing football or hockey.
The sophomore expenses come a little
higher, one hundred and twenty to a
hundred and forty dollars being a
moderate estimate. Of course, some
spend more, but they need not ; and
the seven -months' college year affords
a five -months' summer vacation in
which to earn money. The old idea,
that farmers do not require educa-
tion has been exploded, and the young
man who takes advantage of present
day opportunities will never regret it.
Miss Little is ready with an entirely
new stook of fail and winter millinery.

liarvest Home Services.
Highly successful Harvest Home
services were held at the three ap-
pointments of Blyth parish on Sunday
last. Rev. C. E. Jeakins, B. A., B. D.,
of Wingham, preached at Belgrave in
the morning, at Auburn in the after-
noon, where he was assisted by the
rector, Rev. W. H. Hartley, and at
Blyth in the evening. Mr. Hartley
preached at Blyth in the morning, and
Belgrave in the evening. The church-
es were all beautifully decorated with
grain, fruit, etc. The services were
well attended, and collections liberal.
At Belgrave, the congregation was
asked for $85 for missions and con-
tributed $114.61; at Auburn, $45 was
asked for the same purpose, and the
congregation gave $05. In Blyth, an
effort was made to remove the debt
on the church, amounting to $480. In
the morning, $524 was laid on the
plates, and then the evening collec-
tion brought over $100 more, so tbat
the church is now free of debt. The
congregations were delighted at tbe
success of the services, and the results
speak well of the untiring zeal of the
rector, Rev, W. H. Hartley.
Our Hats and prices are right.

Young life Ended.
A death that brought sorrow and
sadness to many hearts, took place in
Detroit on Sunday, when Miss Dorene,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Dever
of Shelburne, passed away. Deceased
was visiting in that city and had been
in her usual health until Friday after-
noon, when she was taken suddenly
ill.° She was taken to the Hospital
and soon became unconscious, and
passed away early on Sunday morn-
ing. Deceased had a wound in her
neck, and blood -poisoning set in,
which caused her death. The funeral
took place on Monday from the G. T.
R. station, Wingham, to the Tees -
water cemetery. Deceased was an
exceptionally bright and winsome
young lady, about 20 years of age, and
her sudden demise has cast a gloom
over a large circle of relatives and
friends. Her mother, who is a sister
of Mrs, Fessant of town, is in a criti-
cal condition as a result of the sudden
death of her daughter.
About Greater Ontario.
The letters of Mr. A. H. Musgrove,
member for North Huron, descriptive
of the Legislators' trip to Greater On-
tario, give our readers a good idea of
the size, mineral wealth and develop -
merit of that part of Ontario. To hear
of towns larger than Wingham, of
railways and junction points, navig-
able rivers, miles of arable land, silver
by the carloads, etc., is calculated to
make the people of Ontario proud of
their heritage. What was a few years
ago regarded as a worthless, rocky
region, has turned out to bo one of
earth's richest mineral deposits, while
the timber is valuable, and the rich
arable land will yet be clotted with
comfortable homes of a contented peo-
ple. It was a good plan to let the
Legislators of Ontario see the land for
themselves, acquaint themselves with
its needs, and get some idea of its
value. They will now be in much bet-
ter position to legislate, not only in
the interests of the people there, but
in the interests of the province. Tlie
people of Ontario have confidence in
the honesty of the provincial Govern-
enent, and the legislation of the ap-
proaching session will no doubt con-
serve the resources of the province,
and at the same tune be in line with
the march of progress and develop-
ment.

How Germs Multiply.
Wherever typhoid fever lurks
around, it is a good precaution to boil
all drinking water. Very few people
have any idea of the rapidity with
which the germs increase, A writer
in a leading magazine gives the follow-
ing: -"Let us suppose that a colony of
vigorous germs (for, as a rule, they
travel in large company) gets access to
a human body under conditions favor-
able to themselves and unfavorable to
the man. At first they do not appear
to make much of a stir. Quietly they
force their way through the intestinal
walls into the system proper and par-
ticularly into the blood. Once estab-
lished in the blood stream, the vic-
torious invaders begin to feed up and
to propagate -two terms that with
them are almost synonymous. An
Englishman who wished to test their
reproductive capacity started with a
colony of 78 germs. In twenty-four
hours there were 6,000 of them ; in
twenty-four hours more he had 10,-
000,000 ; and seven days from the start
they numbered 440,000,000. The idea
of counting such numbers of invisible
creatures may seem fantastical at
first glance, but<:science has devised
ways of doing so with great accuracy.

railway, prepared to ascend the Mon-
treal river. This river flows through
the Gillies' Limit from northwest to
southeast, and has an average breadth
of about two hundred and fifty yards,
and a depth of forty feet. At a short
distance from the shore the hills rise
to a height of two to three hundred
feet. These hills are covered with
spruce and poplar. There are many
good water -powers, one having a nat-
ural fall of sixteen feet, another of
thirty-seven feet. There are also
three portages of a few rods iri length.
As the day was fine the voyage was
very pleasant.
Fifty-six miles from Latchford is
Elk City, in the township of James,
and situated on both sides of the Mon-
treal river. The situation of this city
is beautiful, the buildings are good,
and although only two years in exis-
tence, it boasts a population of three
thousand. It is the centre of the
great mining district between Charl-
ton and Gow Ganda. Some 750 min-
ing claims have been staked, but of
these only seven mines are in a,tive
operation. We visited the Gavin -
Hamilton mine, which is located four
miles from Elk City. This mine is
down to 160 feet, and has a fairly good
vein of silver. As no liquor licenses
are issued within 6 miles of a minim
camp, "blind pigs" are much in evi-
dence. Whilst we were in Elk City,
Chief Caldbeck made a visit and de-
stroyed 160 kegs of beer, spilling their
contents into the river; besides this
he collected $1150 in fines.
In the evening we were entertained
at a great banquet by the citizens.
The noted "fighter," John Munroe,
Reeve of the township, was chairman.
Here we met the chief men from this
district, and some very excellent
speeches were made -in fact we never
listened to better. The miners and
prospectors are a very intelligent
class. Law and order is maintained,
as in older settlements. The great
want of this district is a railway from
Charlton to Gow Ganda, a distance of
about 45 miles, and costing about $3,-
000,000. As there is very little farm-
ing land here, the output of the mines
does not at present warrant the build-
ing of a railroad. The Government is,
however, constructing a good gravel
road to Gow Ganda ; this road will
cost $50,000.
We left Elk City the next morning
and arrived at Latchford in the after-
noon. After holding a meeting here,
we proceeded to North Bay, 'cohere we
arrived in the evening. As the crowd
was so large, a public meeting was
held in the open air. The citizens of
North Bay gave the government
praise for what had already been
done, particularly for the erection of
a fine Normal school, which will be a
great boon to this north country. We
left North Bay about midnight and
arrived in Toronto the next morning,
havingtravelled in all about 1100
miles, visited ten different places, and
held seven meetings. This trip will
be of great advantage, not only to the
members, but also this north country.
The members will now better under-
stand what is required and will be in
a position to discuss all questions af-
fecting the north country more in-
telligently.

hospital. Mr. Adams has been left

Mr. Adams recovered from illness
himself. We trust the dark clouds

What impressed us most was the
immense extent of territory, the great
natural resources in timber, minerals,
agricultural land and water powers.
Besides this, we found a very intelli-
gent and enterprising class of people.
In every town we vieited, law and or-
der is ,just as well maintained as in
any town in the older parts of the
province. The Temiscaming railway
which runs from North Bay to Coch-
rane, is 250 miles long, and is owned
and operated by the province. It is
an excellent road. The road -bed is as
smooth as any in Canada. The offi-
cials are attentive and obliging. This
road is operated by a commission of
three men, Messrs. Englehart, Dane
and Murphy, who accompanied us on
the trip.
It is, indeed, well that this immense
territory is under the management of
such an honest and upright man as
the ochrous. In the
Hon. n frank C
hands of a weak man, there would be
absolute failure, Hon. Mr. Cochrane
has lived for many years in this costa -
try ; he understands the needs of the
settlers, and can sympathize with
them. At tbe same time, there is a
limit to the amount of money that is
available for all purposes, and hence
great care must be exercised in all
dealings with the people. At every
meeting demands were ]Wade for
roads, railroads, schools', etc., and in
all cases the hon. gentleman stated
the facts of the case and fully` dis-
cussed all questions in an honest and
straightforward manner, and whilst
all the demands could not be granted,
ket it was clear that the people all
new that they were dealing with au
honest man, and were nob being hum-
bugged. Mr. T. W. Gibson, Deputy-
Minister of Mines, accompanied the
party and by his intimate knoled e
of all lulu affairs, gave invaluable
assistance.
I might add that the revenue of this
Maria for the past year was as fel-
lows:-
Prom rout Mines .$ 507,000
Thom Forests ...,.... 1,802,000
Total $2,800,000
