It was the fortieth anniversary of the mar- riage of Mr. and Mrs. Martin, and their children with a number of neigh- bors and acquaintances gathered to celebrate the event with them. The worthy couple were presented with an address, full of kind wishes, and along with the addresswere two very fine upholstered chairs, as a slight token of esteem and respect.

Inspector Robbs report of our School, dated Nov. 5th, is full of en- courageinent. We have not room for it in full, but give an important part ofxit,,which will be read with interest ": The High School departments of your school are in a very prosperous state and contain a greater nun►tber of pupils (than man three -master Hi h chools; slid are doing equally satis- factory work at but a fraction of the cost.

DR. T. CHISHOLM, M. P. Thanksgiving Day. Thursday next, November 17, has been selected by the Governor-Gener- al as a day of national thanksgiving for the Dominion. The Advance will he issued as usual Wednesday even- ing, and if possible, we will endeavor to have papers in the postoffice by 6 o'clock. If not, our town subscribers may have theirs by calling at the Ad- vance office before eight O'clock, Wed- nesday evening. Our correspondents are invited to send in their budgets of news early in the week. 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.

Turnberry changed a minority of 43 into a majority of 51. Mulberry did its duty. —Howick leads the procession with is majority for Dr. Chisholm in every polling sub -division, and a total of 217. —The "Three Hurons" are indeed "in line" as em' Liberal cotems. predic- ted, but not on the side of the line they hoped for and desired. —The constituency of East Huron was doubtless "sick," and so decided to change physicians. Already there is a thane for the tetter, and the rid ing bids fair to recover, —Ward No. 4, Wingham, where the new postofflee is being erected, and where the defeated government candi- date resides, remains the banner Ward of the town by giving 56 ma- jority for Dr. Chisholm, —Fancy the great Globe warning its readers against "eleventh hour cam- paign stories," and then printing the scandalous "Buffalo belles" founda- tionless charge.

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. ---Premier Parent o fR tt ebe pro- vince fro- wince intends to ride into power again on the crest of the Laurier wave, and appeals to the country. Mr. O'Flynn, leader of the Opposition, claims that such a course is ttne0nstittttional, and the notice given (thirteen days) too short for the discussion - of issues. Ile has issued a manifesto, in which he states that as a protest the Con- servatives will not notninate any can- didates, nor take any part whatever in the elections. Z\'itlr a majot•ity of over sixty, Sir Wilfrid is left without excuse; surely he cannot fail to simile upon Canada, and favor her with 0ninter- rttptecl continuance of "good times." Of (aurae he will see that "prosperity" remains a .feature of his ndrrrutistra- tion. Stich little things as gond crops, dry 0r wet seasons, frosts. financial crises, ele., eae., should not be allowed to interfere with the program.

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. Why Neglect That fold ?
