The New Factory,
Visitors to our town admire the
substantial factor;, pow in course of
completion for Walker as Clegg. The
engine and boiler will be shipped this
week, and the proprietors expect to be
running in two weeks. The building
is a good_onc, and judging from ap-
pearance must have cost $15,000. Its
erection gives the idea of permanence
of this valuable industry in our town.
Mr, Clegg thought he would have had
the factory in operation before now,
but delays will occur.

winning the King's prize at the target
has' fallen to a Canadian. Private
Perry of Toronto is the hero of the
hour, and scored 321 out of a possible
355. He was congratulated by the
Prince of Wales and Earl Roberts,
who greeted hien as an old comrade
who fought at Pahatdeberg. Among
the other winners on the Bisley team
this year, we notice the name of Ser-
geant Ytruhill, son of Mr. S. Youhill,
Wingham. Perry's prize was $1250.

County Council Work,

W. Ferguson and 1). Pattersep were
in Winghaut on Tuesday. Accom-
panied by the Comity Engineer, John
Ansley, they went out to examine the
bridge over the river at Zetland. Tlhat
•a new, steel bridge is necessary, was
generally admitted, and that it must
either be built at once or the old one
repaired is also acknowledged. One
difficulty in building the new bridge
is that the season is well advanced,
and contractors as a rule have their
hands full at this season of the year.
This has been a heavy year for unfore-
seen expenditure in the county. The
bridge referred to is a long one and
hence a new one will necessitate con-
siderable outlay, • •

Holmes. The tournament began 011
Tuesday and Wingham rinks succeed-
ed well. While D. T. Hebburn's rink
lost by 2 points to Ridgetown, Dudley
Holmes' rink won from Harriston by
2. The novice rink from Wiughant,
skipped by Wm, Holmes, out -bowled
the Ayhner rink by a score of 20 to 13.
This is the latest report we have, and
the tournament is still in progress,
Short, But Swift.
On Wednesday, as T. T, Field's dri-
ver was standing in front of his shop,
she became frightened at the flapping
of an awning, and in spite of the
owner's efforts, she ran fiercely across
the street, on to the sidewalk and
dashed into Miss Macpherson's millin-
ery window. The glass and window
frame were badly smashed, and the
mare returned front her visit to the
millinery rooms bleeding quite freely
on her head and body. On her return
trip she fell upon the sidewalk, but
was soon freed from the vehicle. 4.tr•.
Field fortunately escaped without a
scratch, though he held on to the ani-
mal to the last, while around him fell
the fragments of glass by hundreds.
A partial new front will be necessary
for the. shop. Tom says that if he had
known „his mare wanted a hat, he
would have bought her a dandy.

A Bereaved dome:
Once more, the home of James H.
Brandon has been clouded 'with sor-
row. It is only a few weeks ago that
a thirteen year old son was borne to -
the tomb. At that time, Mr. Brandon
himself was in failing health and gran.
unity grew weaker until Thursday last
when death closed the earthly scene.
Deceased was among the early settlers
of Morris township, and had succeed.
ed in making for himself a comforta-
ble Itoino where once stood the un.
broken forest. There were five bro-
thers, two of whom have now passed
the bounds of time ; three ate left—T.
S. Brandon, Treasurer of the town-
ship, J. A, Brandon of East Wawa -
nosh, and Rev. W. J. Brandon of Al-
lenford. Deceased was twice married.
in the first family there were two
SOW. anal three daughters ---two of
these, Mrs. Lind. and Mrs. Allison, re-
moved last aping to the Northwest
where the two soils also reside. The
second family are still at home, De -

Werth Trying.
Some of our readers complain of be.
ing troubled with ants, The follow-
ing recipe may be useful. Procure
large sponge, wet it well and press it
.dry, which will leave the cells quite
open ; then 1,prinkle over it some
white sugar end place it where the
ants are troublesome, They will soon
collect upon the sponge and take up
their abode in tate wells. It is only
necessary to dip the sponge in scald-
ing water, which will wash them oat
dead. Put on more sugar and set the
trap for a new haul, This process will
soon clear the house of every ant,

The Western Fair.
London Exhibition promises to be
better than ever this year. The
dates are Sept, 9111 to 17t11. To amuse
the tltottsands, before., the grand
stands every afternoon and evening,
the attraction committee hats scoured
the United States and Cantata for
artists, and already a number have
been secured, They are the best that
money can buy. More will be engag-
ed later in the season. The fireworks
display this year will include some
brilliant pieces, the grandest spectacle
being "The Bombardment of Port
Arthur"—a representation of the
frightfulhammering Togo and his
Japanese ships gave the beleaguered
town—ships and forts will be shown
in action, leaking a sight that will not
soon be forgotten.
Civic Holiday.
Tuesday next will be Wingham's
Civie holiday, and the chief attraction
will be the Sunday School excursion
to Kincardine. The train is due to
leave Belgrave at 8.25, Winghatn 8.45,
Whitechurch 9, and arrive in Kincar-
dine' at 10 a.mn. Baskets properly
labelled and placed in the baggage
car provided for the purpose 'will be
conveyed to and from Kincardine
station and the park free of charge.
Returning, the train will leave Kin-
cardine at 7.15. A vel;y pleasant day
may thus be spent at the lake side by
all who wish to do so, and no doubt
the excursion will prove as popular
this year as it has in previous years.
Wingham's excellent Band will ac-
company the excursion. .
Don't forget the date of Dr. Egbert,
the Eye Specialist's visit, at the
Queen's hotel, Aug. 22, 23 and 24,
The Price of Eggs.
So far es the Advance remembers,
the price of eggs has not reached the
present nark: (17 ets.) at this time of
the year, for many years. Some
would of course attribute this (as well
as the good crops, etc.) to the fact
that a Liberal Government was ad-
ministrating the affairs of this Do.
minion. Curious to know the real
reason, we made enquiry, and ascer-
tained that the high price is not disc
to any extraordinary demand, nor
from any unusual activity in the for-
eign market. The cause is ehiefly due
(we are informed) to competition be-
tween the nlerchauts and the pedlars,
who perhaps can afford a little more
t11aL11 others, their expenses being less.
At the present prices, there is danger
that some oue will get caught and in
the enol lose money. In the mean-
time, the farmers reap the benefit.
True there have been a few carloads
shipped west, but it is not an increase
in the export trade that is causing the
high price, for the export of eggs in
1903 showed a decrease front any pre-
vious year. Home consumption is
however increasing, The Farmers'
Advocate on this subject, says m ---"We
were assured by one of the largest
and oldest egg dealers in Canada that
the home consumption of, eggs had
practically tripled. within dL very few
years, and this was to be attributed in
large measure to the attitude of the
medical profession in the prevention
and treatment of a wide range of dis-
eases of a wasting character, relying
upon nutrition by the use of eggs and
milk, rather than of dependence upon
medicines. • For convalescents, too,
and in a great variety of forms, the
use of eggs has marvellously increased
acid this bids fair to continue for
many years' to conte. With the I3rit-
ish market, which absorbs, in addition
to what Is produced at home, some
$26,000,000 worth of eggs ittnntually, as
a safety valve, t'•antnliants earl with
every prospect of continued profit cul-

not involve large investments; it is
safe, less laborious than some other
lines of fawns work, and if the flock
should ever cease to be, profitable it

A battle between the Taps and Rus.
Wens was fought July 24, lasting six-
teen hours. The Russians were de-
feated, driven from their positions and
the Japanese occupied New Chwang.
Not long ago the Russian general an-
nounced his intention of driving the
Japs off their own island into the sea.
Ile has not yet begun serious work on
the contract.

—Statistics of population seem to
show that after long and severe wars,
in which many Hien are killed and the
male part of a country's population is
greatly decreased, there is for several
years a preponderating birth of male
children until the normal proportion
between the sexes is restored. This
seems to have been noted after the
Thirty Years' War in Germany, after
the Napoleonic wars in France, and
even in More recent times after the
siege of Paris.

—Considerable excitement was caus-
ed in England by Russian war vessels
interrupting British steamers and
searching them for contraband of war.
One of them, the Malacca, was seized
by the Itussians. British war vessels
were at once despatched to the Red
Sea, and for a time there was a con-
siderable flurry of excitement. Russia
backed down, released the Malacca,
and it was thought the cloud had
passed, when a British vessel was fired
on and sunk near the coast of Japan.
It looks as though Russia was trying
to provoke a war with Britain. One
at a time, Mr. Czar—please finish the
contract on hand with Japan before
yott take a crack at the mistress of the
seas.
