pioneer life. The old land marks are
passing away, and there Was but one

music and games, after which all de-
parted Wishing Mr. and Mrs. Martin

Celebrated Nov. 5th.
L. O. L. No. 794 met on Friday
evening last in regular monthly meet-
ing. It had been previously announc-
ed. and invitations issued accordingly,
that the members would celebrate
Nov. 5th, by having an oyster supper.
After the close of the lodge eeting,
the members present went to Mr.
Lamonby's restaurant, where they en-
joyed a fine repast of oysters, fruit,
etc., etc. After the abundant supply
of bivalves had received attention, a
social hoar was spent listening to
brief addresses from the Master of the
Lodge, Bros. Greer, Dulmago, Spotton
and others. These were interspersed
with vocal selections from Bros. Abra-
ham and Rankin. A vote of thanks
was tendered Mr. and Mrs. Lamonby'
for the bountiful spread. Then the
fraternal circle was formed, the Na-
tional anthem sung, and the members
retired to their homes.
Accident.
On Saturday evening, an accident
occurred, that might have proved
very serious in its results. A buggy,
containing two daughters of Mr. P.
Thomas of Bluevale, and Miss Lizzie
Fleuty of the Advance staff, was met
near the town ball, by the bus of the
Brunswick hotel as it was going to
meet the London train. There was
plenty of room to pass, for the ladies
in the buggy were close to the side of
the street. The driver of the bus
however appeared to heed them not,
and the wheels of the bus caught the
buggy, dragging it some distance.
The buggy was wrecked, and the
young lady oecupants thrown out.
The Misses Thomas escaped with souse
bruises, but Miss Fleuty fared worse,
one of her feet being injured so that
she was obliged to retrain at home for
several days. The ladies claim that
the accident was entirely due to the
carelessness of the bus driver, and
that had he turned out the least, or
even kept the centre of the road, the
collision would not have occurred.

—Fancy the great Globe warning its
readers against "eleventh hour cam-
paign stories," and then printing the
scandalous "Buffalo belles" founda-
tionless charge. Shame i
—No, 1, Turuberry (Lower Wing -
ham), increased its majority from six
at the last election to 52 for Dr. Chis-
holm.. Nobly done 1 This made the
majority in Wingharn and Lower
Wingham, practically, 180.
—Ross failed to "deliver a majority"
from Ontario to Sir Wilfrid. Of
course, the Minnie. M. could not be ex-
pected to do duty in inland con-
stituencies, and Cap. Sullivan is not
ubiquitous.
—There was no uncertain sound in
East Huron at least. The majority is
most emphatic and decisive. Defeat
should be accepted gracefully ; on the
1904 list, the majority would have
been very much larger.
—A Conservative majority in every
ward in town, and `in every•polling
sub -division in Howick, and a decrease
of the Liberal majority in every other
municipality in the riding except
Blyth, are among the fruits of the
election.
--Listen for explanations ; "over-
confidence" yon know; bend your
ear to the ground and catch the sound
of—"protest," "unseating," etc. So
far as the Conservatives are concerned
they have no knowledge of a single
act on their part.
—Even the gerrymander failed to
save them. The "Three Hurons" have
gone Conservative, and not one of the
Liberal candidates is left to carry the
tale of dire defeat to Ottawa. Huron
county sends three defeated candidates
to swell the list of "back numbers."
—Cotton has soared so high that
unless therm is very soon a material
tumble in the price, travellers will
have to shove up theprices on all cot-
tons and linens. This means that
shirts will advance in price fully twen-
ty per cent., remarked one gents' fur-
nisher recently.
—The Mitchell Advocate expresses
itself thusly :—"Tho defeat of Dr.
Macdonald, East Huron, and Robb.
Holmes, West Huron, are among the
grandest Conservative victories in On-
tario. Holmes for years sat for a sto-
len seat, and pocketed the indemnity
which rightly belonged to his oppo-
nent."
---Seine person was silly enough to
say that the only way Dr, Chisholm
would ever be member for East Heron
would be for the ex -member to either
"die or resign." We are pleased to
say that neither death nor resignation
were necessary, for Dr. Chisholm is
member -elect for East Huron, by the
unmistakable and emphatic wish of
the electorate, as shown in the turning
of a Liberal majority of 218 into a
Conservative majority of 170.

ClwrzaprEw : The contest ie : over;
East Huron has been redeemed, and
for the first time in twenty year* or
more, the riding will be represented
by a Conservative.
It ,required considerable energy to
face a contest with a majority of 218
against us, the prestige of two govern-
ments, and with my opponent es
Deputy -Speaker. The victory leis,
however, been won ; it was won bon.-
estly, and was most decisive..
And now it remains for the to
thank the noble band of Conserva-
tives that rallied around me in every
municipality. As a central force, the
Conservatives of Wingharn were a
contingent, of whom any candidate
Wright be proud. The workers in
every polling subdivision are con-
gratulated on their effort to poll the
fun Conservative vote.
To those Liberals (and they were
many) who favored me with their
votes, I tender my most sincere
thanks. Without their aid the vie.
tory might not have been won, I can
understand tosome extent, what it
means to drop (even temporarily)
party ties of life-long standing, and
those honest Liberals who accorded
me their support, have my sincere ap-
preciation and gratitude,
In closing, to every person, who in
any way whatever, aided in securing
the great victory of redeeming East
Huron, 1 tender my sincerest thanks.
Trusting I shall prove your faith-
ful representative.
I am yours faithfully
THOS. CansuoLn, M.D.
