J THE WINGHAM ADVANCE West Wawanosh, Fall wheat is giving poor returns.. 1). E. Munro has received four ear. loads of coal. The exterior of Dungannon Presby- terian church has been painted, The lease of Auburn milia to Alex. Young of W inghani has fallen through. We are pleased to know that Mr. A. B. Carr is much. improved in health the past two weeks. Miss Maty Tummy, who has been under the doctor's care for the past two weeks, is improving. Some miscreant entered the chicken house of Mr. John Phillips, Auburn, the other evening and poisoned 18 of his best chickens. Mr. G. Sprung, one of the oldest re- sidents on the Baso line, is very low at tpresent, but slight hopes are enter- ained of his recovery. The annual fall fair of the Ashfield and Wawanosh Agricultural society will be held in Dungannon on Thurs- day and Friday, October 13th and 14th. The C.P.R. hien have been through here buying the right of way. They made a straight offer of $50 an acre for the land they required ; some ac- cepted the offer, some did not. Westfield choir has been re -organiz- ed with Frank Campbell as leader and Miss C. McClinton organist. A num- ber of new members were added and the choir now numbers about eighteen in all. Last Monday David Crawford ap- plied a cure to a horse which refused to work. He was told just to give it a slight blow behind the ear. Tho euro proved effectual but rather ex- pensive. The contract for the construction of cement sidewalks in Dungannon was given to John Kilpatrick and E. John- ston, both of Ashfield. There were only three tenders, the lowest being 10 cents a foot. Westfield school re -opened on Mon- day of last week, after six weeks' va- cation, with Mr. Henry Morrish in charge. Mr. Morrish has•proved him- self a very successful teacher and we should be very sorry to lose him. Mr. Frank Gutteridge and his men, from Seaforth, have commenced work on the cement part of the new ,bridge at Westfield. We hope it will be rushed along, so that it will be ready for use before the high water in the fall. The • building of the Presbyterian church at Auburn has come to a standstill for the want of brick. It is expected to be here in a few days, when work will be resumed. The seating was taken into consideration last week. Several of our apple -growers sold their early fruit, such as the Duchess, to Robt. Elliott and it was shipped from Goderich last week. The price was 60 cents a barrel, a pretty low figure considering all the work fn gathering the crop. NOTICE TO CREDITORS. Notice is hereby given pursuant to R. S.

B, Mathewson on the Frey farm, where lightning recently destroyed a barn. The new building is to be 40x00 feet, and Will bo located on the bank, nearer the road than the old barn. On Friday night a number of those interested in the welfare of the Metho- dist church, assembled at the home of Mr. Bushfield, and presented his eldest daughter Miss Susan, with a complimentary aclelresa, a beautiful ring and a case containing many use- ful articles. The address was read by Miss E. Mahood and signed by Ml's. J. T. Gregg and Mabel Wright: Miss Bushfleld has been organist in the church, .hut bas gone to New York. On Monday evening as Henry Kar- ges was cutting oats with a binder on his father's farm the horses suddenly started to ran away. He tried to stop them, but seeing this was impossible he jumped off as the binder passed through a furrow, the jolt causing him to lose his balance. He fell on his arm, spraining Isis wrist. The horses ran in a straight course to the end of the field, where they stopped. The binder was in gear and was badly damaged, but the horses came off safely. Mr. Karges will be laid up for a few days -a bad condition for a fanner to be in during harvest. There is a lot of indignation and talk around here those days about an Assyrian Jew giving his name as .Jno. Thomas, who was robbed of his money on Wednesday afternoon, August 17tH, on the boundary be- tween Howick and Minto near this concession by two inen driving a sor- rel team attached to a top buggy. The Jew tells his story as follows :- "They demanded his license, and when he told them he hadn't any they asked him for his wateh and he had none. They told him they wore officers of the law and that he must give them -five dollars and kept one of his grips until he shelled out. The poor Jew not knowing anything of the laws of the land gave thein what money he had (four dollars) and when a farmer near by appeared in sight, they gave the Jew his grip and drove towards Clifford. - [Fordwich Record. .1, Grey. (Too late for last week.) Miss McKenzie is a guest at present of her friend, Miss Mina McAllister. Miss Maggie McArter of Brussels spent Sunday with her friend, Miss Annie Bryans. Jamestown. Mr. Robt. Curry and two nieces, the Misses Baines of Hamilton spent Sun- day at Alex. Bryan's. Mrs. Patterson and little niece of Stratford visited for a few days at Duncan Taylor's last week. Louis Eckmier is under the doctor's care at present with typhoid fever ; we wish hint a speedy recovery. Mrs. James Strachan is very poorly this week we are sorry to say. The doctor seems puzzled to know just what the trouble is. Mr. Kelly, of ZVinghan, preached in Victoria Hall last Sunday evening. Mr. Frank Powell's discourse at pray- er meeting last Friday evening was very highly appreciated by all. It is with deepest regret that we this week have to report the death of Mrs. John Wilson of Harrow, of Essex Co., formerly of Morris. Deceased had been in very poor health for the last two or three years and came ac- companied by her two daughters Miss Mary and Belle, on a visit to D. Tay- lor's, hoping that she might at least receive some benefit. She felt very poorly most of the time but some tinges felt quite well. However, on Tuesday of last week a decided change for the worse was noticed, but she rallied until Wedneday 5 o'clock p.m. when she peacefully passed away to the great Beyond from which no weary traveller e'er returneth. A number of the neighbors and friends followed the remains to Brussels sta- tion on Thursday morning and Miss Maggie Taylor, niece of deceased went with the beloved departed to her home in Essex. The bereaved faintly and friends have the deepest sym- pathy of the community.

Gregg has failed con- siderable siueo he left and hopes of his recovery are slight. With signs and rumors of an elec- tion in the. air, we wonder how the voters of this township relish the idea of being driven like sheep from West Huron into East Huron, in order if possible to prolong the political life of one politician, who by this time ought to be satisfied. The Conned met, on August 23rd, pursuant to adjournment; members all present ; minutes of last meeting read and passed. A letter was received from R. Van - stone, Wingham, since. last meeting, stating that he had been instructed by Sanll. Walsh, lot 30, con. 5, that un- less a claim he had against tho Council for gravel taken from his pit, also for damage done to his fence at salve place, was not settled forthwith, a suit would be entered to recover the sante. Another letter was also received from Mr, Vanstone, per Henry Dea- con, threatening that if an engineer for the township was not appointed forthwith, he would enter an action against the Council and compel them to make such an appointment at once. 'In the matter of Samuel Walsh's claim for gravel taken from his pit and damage done to his fence, it was moved by Mr. Menzies, seconded by Mr. Wilson -That as soon as the dif- ferent patluuasters instructed, send in .their returns certifying to the amount of gravel taken and damage clone, this Council is prepared to settle in full with 14Ir.

A pretty wedding took place in the Presbyterian church, Wyoming, at high noon Wednesday, August 17th, when Rev. Richard Hobbs of Strath- roy, President of London Conference, tied the matrimonial knot between Rev. R. Smith Baker, M. A., Metho- dist minister of Walton, and Miss Alice, the accomplished daughter of Dr. A. E. and Mrs. Harvey. Wednesday of last week a rousing barn raising was held on the farm of Jno. Jackson, 5th con., at which about 200 bands were present. The barn is a whopper, 60 x100 feet with • 23 foot posts, and will be a great convenience to the enterprising proprietor. Stone stabling with 11 foot ceiling, cement flooring, patent stalls and all the other latest improvements will be added. Quite a good deal of excitement was caused in the vicinity of Molesworth last Saturday and Sunday, by Mr. Stewart's threshing outfit being pre- cipitated into the small creek, which crosses the 2nd,' concession just south of the village. The bridge gave way just as the front wheels of the traction engine were leaving the bridge. The falling timbers pinned the driver of the engine, Mr. D. Partridge, in such a position that he could not get his head above the water. He doubtless would have been drowned, had not the other thresher, who jumped clear of the timber, cane to the rescue, and Miss Aggie Aitcheson visited Miss J. Elliott in Turnberry last week. Mr. Shipley of Clinton - has been visiting his cousin Mr. Oliver Mills. Mr. and Mrs. J, J.
