HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance, 1904-03-03, Page 8To All Who Are Undecided as to whether they shall buy a Fur Coat this winter, or put it off until next year, we have this advice to offer --"If you can get good guaranteed new Furs at Cost, buy them at once, for good Furs have advanced greatly in price since present stocks were purchased last spring, and are still ad- vancing rapidly. In view of these facts, it may surprise you that we are still offering a few superior Furs at actual cosT, just because we don't wish to carry them over, also .because we need the money now. Winter Ready-to-wear Clothing, Overcoats. and heavy Underwear, will also be sold at Cost. Groceries , We have a quantity of pure Clover Honey, some of which, we think, should be in every home, now when. "la grippe" is so prevalent. Also good Maple Syrup — try a can of it. Try a pound of our choice fresh ground Coffee—best in the trade. We still keep the lead as the "Great Tea House." L /1 FACTS About Our Great Sale of Shoes. A Shoe Sale with us does'nt mean an offering of heaps of any old Factory refuse of alluringly priced "gone by" styles and "used to be" shapes. We don't conduct our business on that basis. Some- times conditions enable us to give you our good Shoes at less than usual prices ; then we have a Sale —such is the case now. We want to close out our present stock, as well as the J. Button & Co. stock which we purchased, and get ready for the spring trade, We want to convert our Shoes into money, even if we have to meet a loss in order to do so. But we don't buy up job lots or odds and ends simply to make a great show of "cheapness." We want you to feel, when you come here, that you'll get Strictly Up-to-date and Dependable Shoes whether you pay full prices for them or whether you buy them under value, as you can at present. Just a hint of the "Special Values" you will find this week :- 40 Pairs of Misses' Bal. and Hutton Boots, Box calf or Dongola uppers, sizes 11 to 12, regular price $1.50 to $1.75—Special Sale Price $1.10 35 Pairs Girls' Box Calf or Dongola, Bale, or Button, sizes 8 to 1011, regular price $1.25—Sale Price .95 60 Pairs Ohildren'e Shoes, regular prices 65c, 75c and 90 cts.—Sate Prices 25c, 40c and 60c W.

Rev. W. T. Hall, formerlypastor of Belgrave Presbyterian Church, now of Toronto, has been renewing acquaint - awes in this vicinity recently. For the past two years, Mr. Hall has been resting from active ministerial work. He recently supplied two Sabbaths at Luoknow, and last Sabbath preached at Parkhill; next Sabbath he goes to St. Andrew's, London, A call frons Dob. binton, Bruce county is on the way, and one from Lucknow ,now vacant) Is not at all unlikely. According to the Church statistics for 1903 for the United States, the net gains of all the denominations were - 2,340 ministers, 2,647 churches, 482,469 communicants. In the increases, the Methodist bodies lead by a gain of 112• 946 communicants, or 23 per cent. The Baptists come next with an increase of 61,146; Lutherans, 86,667; Presby- terians, 25,606. In the Protestant de- nominations, the Methodists lead with a membership of 6,192,494; 'the Baptist come second with 4,725.775. .A. young Englishman arrived in Stratford on December 8th and on the following day was served with a notice to pay his poll tax and for failing to respond was brought before the ,police magistrate who ordered payment.

It is expected that this year, will witness great strides in the progress of aerial navigation. The prizes offer- ed by the St. Louis Exposition have acted as an incentive to such an ex- tent that some of the keenest experts have ventured to predict the flying- maohitie a practical achievement be- fore the end of the year.

Me lig The Liberel meeting was Belts as Announced on Friday evening, but considering the publicity given it. the flue evening, and the presence of the Band, the attendance was disappoint- ing. A number of ladies graced the occasion with their presence; some Conservativeti also listened to the ed - dresses, but the absence of a number of Liberals In town was noticeable. Altogether, the audience was neither large nor enthusiastic. Geo. 1 eKen- zie presided. Senator McMullen was unable to be present, owing, it is said, to au accident. R. Holmes, of Clinton, Was the first speaker. He made no reference to the subject announced for discussion but confined his atttention to other phases of the government policy. ,t le eulo- gized the Doukhobors, and regarded, them as very desirable emigrants. The facts are—that they are consid- ered very undesirable, even in Russia, and since they were dumped into our Northwest, it has cost some lives and considerable money to keep the fana- tics within bounds, Quite a number left the hall at the conclusion of this address. Dr. Macdonald was the next speaker. He dealt with the Transcontinental railway policy of the government, at great length, until a late hour, and the audience chewed unmistakable signs of being tired. The Mail -Empire and the News were the only daily papers that had a special report of the meeting. These papers are also supplying their readers with very complete cable reports of the struggle between Russia and Japan. Both papers deserve credit for their enterprise.. A NEW VOTING MACHINE. Welland, Feb, 27.—The Telegraph has the following from Bridgeburg: Mrs. C, S. Jackson of this• village has invented a new voting machine, which possesses the merit to commend it to the favorable consideration of the public. It is simple, strong, and sub- stantially built, and nicktl•plated, To begin with, the returning officer is supplied with a given number of re- gulation balls, about half an inch in diameter. The Balls are all ,alike. The voter is supplied with one of the regulation balls. The ball is dropped by the voter into a small hole at the front of the machine and the candi- date's lever is pulled ; the candidate's lever is distinguished by his name, number, and color. When the lever is pulled the ball rolls down in full view of the returning officer and scrutineers, and the machine is locked until the returning officer pulls anoth- er lever at the back of the machine, which allows the ball to roll into the candidate's locked box at the bottom of the machine.. The number of votes cast for each candidate is automatical- ly registered, and also the total num- ber of votes polled, There is also the count of the balls at the close of the vote to balance against the machine. A very large number of votes could be cast in one"day. The machine, which is about to be placed on the market, indicates an immense amount of thought and skill on the inventor, and appears to be such as will fill the want for a safe and reliable voting ma- ehine.
