The residents of Wingham and vi- cinity have enjoyed two weeks of delightful November weather, frosty but clear, dry and invigorating. On Sunday last eight inches of snow wore reported from Walkerton and six inches from Formosa, but the ground here was scarcely white. On Sanday and Monday, the worst storm report- ed since 1888 is said to have raged in the southern and eastern States. Traffic was snow -bound, and tele- graph and telephone service demorali- zed so badly, that in order for a tele- gram to reach Chicago from New York, it was necessary to cable it across the oc+.pan and thence to Chi- cago. Immense damage is reported. Oddfellows "At dome." On Friday evening of last week, Maitland Lodge No, 110, I, 0, O. P., gave an "Al, Home" to the members and their friends, which was a very pleasant affair. The program consist- ed of instrumental and vocal selections by local talent, and comae singing by Will. McLeod of Seaforth, all of which were heartily applauded by the large number present. A pleasing feature of the program took plaice when the chairman, John F. Groves, called W, J. Chapman, formerly of town but now of Acton, to the platform, and after a few suitable remarks, present., ell hint with a veteran's jewel. Mr. Chapman has been a member of the Order for over twenty-five years, and this is one of the ways the three -link brethren recognize length of service and faithfulness. The recipient of the jewel replied in a brief but welt -word - ted address, expressing his appreciation of the gift. After the program, an excellent htnelr was served an the Council c a er.

For several days, pre- parations had been made, and when everything was ready, the connec- tions were made so quickly that scarcely any inconvenience was caus- ed by interruption of service. The Central exchange is now located in the Vanstone block, in the shop late- ly occupied by H. H. Chisholm, jewel- ler. Mr. P. Tinsley, who has so faith- fully served the Company in the past, is the new Manager, and the Advance congratulates him on the promotion. We feel sure that the Central will be welt managed under his supervision, with Miss Cody as chief of the opera- ting staff. Several new phones are being installed. A Double Funeral. The following is from the Teeswater News :—"It is not often that it falls to the lot of one family to suffer the mea- sure of saddening affliction that with- in the past week has come to the family of Mr. James Sharpe of our village. Two members of the family, the mother and youngest daughter— were buried on Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Sharpe who was 72 years old died early Friday morning after several months' illness of a complication of diseases due to a general wearing out and breaking down of the system. The daughter, Miss Elizabeth Agnes, died on Saturday at Port Arthur, Ont., where, since the summer vaca- tion, she had been engaged as public school' teacher. The news of her death carne as a great surprise to many in Teeswater as the fact of her serious illness had been kept quiet on account of the Iow condition of her parent. The remains arrived in Tees - water by the Tuesday afternoon train, and shortly after 2 o'clock two hearses Left the residence on Elora street fol- lowed by a great number of sympathi- zing friends to Smith's Cemetery, on the Derham road, where mother and daughter were laid in their final rest- ing place.

I can never repay them, but I trust and pray that they may be frilly rewarded by the Giver of all good. MRs. WEsLLY ALLENBY. 1 COMMUNICATION. Tho admission of a communication in these columns does not imply that we endorse the sentiments of the writer.—Editor, Mn. Entxon,--A few weeks ago you gave an "Independent" space in your paper; will you give me (also an Inde- pendent) a little space this week? It is simply to express my contempt for au article which appeared in the Clin- ton New Era last week. The editor its most despicable sentiments libels our new member, Dr. Chisholm, which of itseIf was an ocular demonstration of supreme ignorance, yes, even to the superiative degree, for all who are ac- quainted with our genial member would know that it was a black tin - truth. He then proceeds to state that the three Hurons could not expect any favors front the present Government. Now, Sir, I have heard this good main preach from the sacred desk of the great goodness of God, I have heard hint exhort others to Ieact pure lives and to love their enemies, but now see the trail of the serpent. Yon kill my dog nnd 1 kill your cat. Because the Hurons did not put "tTS" (tire great big personal pronoun in the plural) in high places, you shall get no favors ; yon will have to pay for alt our enter- prises elsewhere, but your atutivtdtrally will be overlooked. Nothing good in store for you. Now, Sir, we are of opinion that such deplorable senti- ment; must proceed, not front the edi- tor, but, from the devil, and that if Laurier, P. Holmes .t Co., adopt such trinei Iles of favoritism then the l t , sooner their government gods smash the better for all. If they wish to re - thin power they must toe the mark, treating every mats like a num. `routs truly, Ismll'ENrnlxr, X1.00 PER YEAR IN A,RMMO. NOTE AND COMMENT. --Dr. •Chisholm's majority, as given by Returning Officer W. 11. Kerr of Brussels, is 181. When the former Liberal majority of 213 is taken into account, the victory in East Huron wasmost remarkable, for it meant a difference of 8117 votes, —Mayor Urquhart is authority for the statement that the Government may take over the ownership of long distance telephones in Canada, and operate them under the post -office de- partment. It is claimed that the price of phones would be reduced, Public ownership is gaining favor evidently. —Suggestions for decorations for the platform of the Ross convention on the 23rd—A life-size portrait of the chief worker, Cap. Sullivan; a special painting (large size) of the old war- horse "32 years in the saddle," and most prominent of all, a large model of the Minnie M. Back of it all, on a long streamer, to be painted the one word GA X BT. No charge for these suggestions, Mr. Ross. —Among those who are mentioned as likely to receive the nomination for the Legislature, in the Liberal inter- ests in West Huron, are: M. G. Cam- eron, the present member; Mr. Proud - foot of Goderich, and J. T. Currie of East Wawanosh. Mr. Currie's name was mentioned prior to the last gener- al election. From his municipal expe- rience and long residence in the riding he should make a ggod run if he re- ceives the nomination, while his years of service for the party should be re- cognized. It is whispered, however, that the present member may not be shoved aside unceremoniously. —West Huron Liberal -Conservative Exeeutive met in Clinton on Friday last. A convention is called for Nov. 28th, at Auburn, to select a candidate for the Ontario Legislature. There are a number of names already avail- able for presentation to the Conven- tion, front whom a first-class candi- date can be selected. Among the names suggested are—James Mitchell, who contested the riding at the last election, Mathew Lockhart of East Wawanosh, Dudley Hohnes of Wing - ham, Mayor Hoover of Clinton, D. D. Centelon and D. Forrester of the same place, Jas. Conolly of Goderich township and Rev. Jos. Elliott of God- erieh. From this list there should be no difficulty in selecting a winner for the next Provincial contest. Perhaps none of the aspirants would poli a bet- ter vote in Goderich, Wingham and Clinton than Wingham's rising young barrister, Dudley Holmes, —The Executive for the Liberal - Conservative Association for East Hu- ron met in Wingham on Friday last, and decided to hold a Convention in Brussels, on Tuesday, November 22nd, for the purpose of selecting a candi- date for the Legislature, to contest the riding in the election campaign which is supposed to be not far distant. So far we have only heard of two names suggested that are likely to come be- fore the Convention—Mr, A. Dulmage of Wingham and Mr. James Bowman of Morris. Both are well known and would poll a large vote. The majority for Hislop at the last election was (if we remember correctly) 453. But there has been a change in public opinion, and scores of Liberal electors have stated their intention of oppos- ing a Ross candidate. They are con- vinced that the interests of the pro- vince will be best served by a change of Government. East Huron can be won, if the right man is selected and the campaign energetically conducted. —Two political gatherings are an- nounced to be held in Toronto' at an early date. On the 23rd, Premier Ross will gather his forces to consult as to the future policy of the Liberal party in provincial affairs. Then on the 24th, Mr, Whitney, leader of the Opposition, with a representative gathering from all parts of the province, will discuss provincial issues. The revelations of the past few years have shown the ne- cessity for a thorough renovation of Ontario political methods. Of course, at the approaching Liberal Convention in Toronto, there may be passed reso- lutions of regret at the foul condition of Ontario politics, and a veneer of promises of amendment; there may be also a reconstruction of the Cabinet, by making two or three changes. We mistake Ontario electors, however, if they are satisfied with these. An en- tire change of adinini:ttration is need- ed, and it is doubtful if any half mea- sures, veneer, or mere resolutions on paper, will avail any longer. At the Convention of Mr. Whitney's support- ers on the 21th, a decided stand should be taken itt favor of the protection of the people's interests versus those of corporations. When these two con- ventions have been held, the electors should have definite statements of the polieles of the tun parties before them. There is this in favor of the Conserva- tive party : that when it promises to do a certain thing, it does that certain 1 spromises trot if possible. 1t keeps � , �i 1 1 to the people. On the other hand, the promises of the many liberal lxtliti- e.ians mat macre apparentiv for the our - Buse of being broken --take the resolu- tiois passed at the Ottawa convention for example..
