County Meeting.
The annual meeting of the L. 0, L.
of North Huron was held in Wingham
on Tuesday. Notwithstanding the
unfavorable weather and irregular
trains, a goodly number of the breth-
ren were present. County Master
W. J. Greer presided. Much of the
time was taken up with reports and
routine work. The County Master's
address was appropriate, comprehen-
sive and instructive, It was decided
to have it printed in the minutes and
in the Sentinel. A unanimous resolu-
tion passed deciding to celebrate July
12th in Wingham. The officers elect
are:—County Master, M. Mains; D. 0.
M., R. Leishman ; Chaplain, Rev. W.
Lowe ; Rec.-Sec., J. J. McMannus ;
Fin. -Sec., Alex. Leishman ; Treas.,
Jas. Colley ; D. of 0., N, Johnston ;
Lect're., J. Broadway, R. Leishman,
Asked A Grant.
Mr. Thos. Bell for Wingham, Reeve
Iabister for Morrie, and Reeve Mc-
Callum for East Wawanoslh, attended
the County Council last week, and
advocated a special grant for the road
south of Wingham, that is always
overflowed with water in the spring,
and impassable for two or three
weeks. It was thought that if Morris,
Wawanosh and Wingham each
gave a grant, and this wit' supple-
mented by an equal amount from the
county, the road could he put ;in good
condition, so as to enable farmers to
have ae'i;ess to town during the spring
freshets. The County Council did not
seem inclined to make a grant, fearing
that other portions of the county
would make application for grants.
The necessity of this particular case is
generally admitted, and when each
municipality was willing to assist in
the work, our County representatives
Might have given
ment at least.
Fon SALE.—The 7 room dwelling

For Teeswater Branch.
The Toronto News of Saturday
says—One of the C. P. it's big rotary
snow plough arrived in Toronto this
morning from Montreal, and will be
placed on the Teeswater branch. This
plough is one of the largest made,
and will throw snow for a distance of
150 feet from the track. It is worked
on an entirely different method from
the ordinary plough, its front being
of the shape of a funnel which pene-
trates its way into a bank of snow no
matter what height, and the snow is
projected out at the top by revolving
wheels in the interior of the plough.
Tho plough, which is the only one of
its kind on the 0. P. R. lines in On-
tario, •will be held in readiness for
another snowstorm. The officials say
that they do not intend to take any
chancel' of a block on the Teeswater
branch, which was the one to suffer

Two Presentations.
Thursday evening last was spent
very pleasantly by a goodly number
at the Methodist church. Owing to
irregularity of trains, Rev. R. Hobbs
was unable to reach Wingham on that
day, hence the lecture announced may
be given at some future date. How-
ever, an interesting program was pre-
sented. Rev. Dr. Gundy gave a read-
ing entitled "Absalom," with good
effect. Miss Brock gave an excellent
recitation in her usual good style. A
solo by Frank Hill, a duett by Mrs.
Kaiser and Mr. Skilling, and several
selections by the choir, made the musi-
cal part of the paogram very accepta-
ble. Then came the presentation of
the Pipe Organ to the Trustees. When
the church was being built the Trus-
tees could not see their way clear to
assume any further liability, Bence a
committee of five of the Trusteea was
appointed, and they personally as-
sumed the responsibility of purchasing
the organ. So faithfully did they per-
forin their duty that the organ, free of
debt, has been formally presented to
the Board. In making the presenta-
tion, Mr. J. Kerr, chairman of the
committee, in a neat speech. outlined
the work of the committee and thank-
ed all who had assisted in anyway,and
then handed over the key of the organ
to Mr. Fessant. Treasurer of the
Board, who, on behalf of the Board
and congregation, thanked the com-
mittee for their earnest and faithful
work. Mr. Green, Treasurer of the
committee, then burned the three
notes given some two years ago for
the organ. The Audience showed their
pleasure of the happy conclueion of
the committee's work by sincere ap-
plause. The next item on the program
was also very interesting, and that
was the recognition on the part of the
Board of the faithful services rendered
by Mr. W. I3. Green, as Inspector of
the building during the erection of the
church. This took the form of a pre-
sentation of a Solid Gold Watch, with
elegant chain and charm. On the in-
side of the case is stained the photo of
the church, and on the dome is en-
graved the name of the recipient and
the reason for tho presentation, while
in the locket is a portrait of Bev. R.
Hobbs, the pastor during the erection
of the church, The accompanying ad-
dress was read by one of the Trustees,
Mr, Il'essant, Another Trustee, handing
Mr, Green the elegant recognition of
bis services.
