The Wingham Advance, 1904-05-05, Page 81 1 111110 r..1.11IE LEADING SI;10E TORID, We cannot fittingly describe our beautiful Spring Shoes—we cannot put our Shoes into language, no matter how strong the language may be, for language still fails to pic- ture to the mind the combination of strength and grace in our Spring Footwear. They must be seen, handled, examined and worn to be appreciated. Then again our prices are a strong inducement to win your trade. Let it be well understoW that our Shoes are the best that is or that can be made—this we guarantee—and that our prices are always the lowest that can be named on good Shoes. W . J.

Robt. Powell made a start last week, made the occasion for an address and presentation to you, in recognition of Mrs. J. Jackson of Toronto was the your faithful services in connection guest of her sister, Mrs. Robt. Currie, with the Church. We are thankful for several weeks. that this is not a farewell party, as the last was. We are not losing you, we are simply met together, as mem- bers of the congregation, to assure you; of our appreciation, gratitude and good -will for the faithful, arduous duties you have performed so freely as organist of our Church. It would be difficult to over-estiroate the value of those services. In our dear Church of England, sacred music occupies a large and important place. You have taken a deep interest in the musical part of our services ; you have presided at the organ with taste and skill, and to the satisfaction of minister and people. We admire your fine discrimination, your perfect time—neither too fast nor too slow—always subordinated with a devout spirit, the spirit of true worship ; and we do not forget also that the purchase of the new and sweet instrument, over which you pre- side, is largely due to your efforts as President of the Young People's So- ciety. We beg your acceptance of this $20 gold piece, as a slight token of the regard and esteem in which you are held by the whole congregation. The gold piece does not represent the value of your services—far from it—but only to signify that your services have been "more golden than gold." May you receive by and by the Master's com- mendation "Well done," and a place in the Heavenly ,Choir and a crown of glory that fadeth not away. Signed on behalf of the congregation J.

Let tia pray to Him to give us the spirit of ever -abundant, ever -springing love, which overpowers and sweeps away the vexations of life by its own richness and strength, and which, above all things,unites us to Him who is the fountain and the centre of all mercy, loving -kindness and joy.—John Henry Newman.

A wedding took place at the Metho- dist parsonage on Wednesday of last week. The interested 'parties were Thornley Mowbray and .Mise Durnin of St. Helens. May the union be a happy one. A short time ago Mr. Geo, Cottle of the W, hitechnrch saw -mill received an elm log over four feet in diameter, which was too much for the saw to go through, therefore oh Friday last he blasted it with gunpowder. The log was split in two as nice as though it had been cut with a fine ripsaw, but the concussion was so great that win- dows in the houses near by rattled and some of the buildings were shaken. On Wednesday of last week our vil- lage was the scene of a lire, by which Mr. John W. Mowbray's residence was burned to the ground. The fire started in the garret and must have been burning qnite a while be- fore being noticed, and when it broke through the roof a stiff north wind fanned it and the flames were not long in devouring the building. Furniture, clothing and almost everythiog else was burned, scarcely alt article being saved. Mr. Mowbray is agent for the Frost Wire Fence Co. and it is thought he bad some gates on hand, which were also destroyed, The loss is a heavy one for Mr. Mowbray. and he has the sympathy of the community in his loss.
