Comment- -Ning on this case the Aylmer Sun says : orman Livingston, son of James Livingston, is under arrest in Detroit, charged with being implicated in a saloon robbery.

Very Large Log. An exceptionally large log of soft elm was brought into town recently to be cut at McLean's mill. It is said to be the largest ever brought to town. Mr. McLean reports that the largest log cut at his mill previous to this one, contained 1456 feet, This one was four feet, five inches in diameter, fourteen feet long, and con- tained. 2016 feet. It was brought in from near St. Helens by Robert Maguire, with two teams, The log was valued at about $30. These monsters of the primeval forests are scarce in these parts. Big Value For Your Money. If there is a gond dollar's worth of- fered to the Canadian eople this sea- son it is that of the Family Herald and Weekly Star of Montreal, with its exquisitely pretty premium pic- ture. "The Princess at Work."

The Organ Recital, under the auspices of the YoungPeople's Guild of the • Presbyterian hurch, held on Monday evening was fairly well at- tended. So rich a musical treat should have clrawu a full church. Miss Sutherland's rich, sweet voice was heard to good effect in her ren- derings, and she will be Iistened, to again with pleasure. Mr. Hetvlett's skill at the pipe organ was evident, and the fine, new instrument was heard to great advantage, showing its possibilities when played by a master hand. The proceeds of the Recital were about $70. The young people of the congregation have certainly clone well in securing such a fine organ and so nearly providing for its cost. We understand that only a comparatively small indebtedness remains, which will no doubt, soon be removed. Mrs. Currie's Death. Abont four weeks ago; Mrs. Wm. Currie, of Mt. Forest, came to Wing - ham . to visit her mother, Mrs. Helm, sen., and other friends, little thinking that she would never return to her Mt. Forest home. She was taken ill, and on Thursday morning last she passed away.�Deceased's maiden name was Alfie Heim ; she was born near Paris in 1860, and with other members of the family removed to Culross in 1877. She was united in marriage to her now sorrowing husband in 1880, and after two years resdence in Elora, removed to Mt. Forest. Early in her youth she joined the Methodist Church under. the pastorate of Rev. Wm. Sheppard, and contiuuecl an earnest, faithful Christian. When she remov- ed to Mb. Forest she became a member of the Presbyterian Chtn•ch, and was a faithful worker. ' Amon the floral tributes sent from Mt. Forest were wreaths from the Ladies' Aid Society of the Presbyterian Church, the A. F. & A. M., and the Curling Chtb, and other personal friends, all evidencing the esteem in which she was held. In- terment took place in Wingham ceme- tery on Saturday. Her aged another, her bereaved husband, brothers and sisters, keenly feel the sad event that has taken one from the family circle.

Aboet half -past nine on Sunday evening, fire was discovered in Gunn's Egg Packing establishment, and the firemen were summoned to duty. The fire haus gained considerable head• way before it was discovered, and was soon in a mass of fiance. The eon- strnetion of the building (double boarded) macre it very difficult to get the water to where it was needed the most, and the contents, dry -egg cases, excelsior, etc., maple the blaze the fier- cer, so that even three streams of eater,appeared to have scarcely any effect' un the fire, which blazed p i the building fiercely until r S' was burned to the ground. The building .to the rear was badly damaged, but the cold storage was saved. The ruins held the fire a long time, and one stream was kept playing on the wreck all night and all day Monday, and on Tuesday moaning flee was still smoul- deri.aag beneath the debris. Work commenced at once to remove the ricins and ascertain the condition of the eggs in the basement. There were 85,00() cclozest of eggs in stock, mitt the loss, so far as tan be ascertained at present will be about $10,000, on which there is insurance of $5,000, How the Me. t known. 14 originated iaa no fi to Grahamthe manager, put a fire on about 8 o'clock a. ata., and. at 11.80 went through tate hulloing and found every- thing safe.

'1'he taxpayers of Wingham should be delighted with the .printed state- ments showing the result of our Town's first year's experience iit'inuni- cipal ownership. The annual deben- ture of $1731.90 has .been paid ; the street -lighting system was extended by nine extra pulps, at a cost of $540.- 20 ; permanent improvements were Mule at the ppower hoose and date at a cost of $1198.33. All this Was paid out of the profits and a small balance remains. As the Treasurer points out, had the money market been fav - c debentures, orable for the sale of the , the showing would have )leen store satisfactory still. As it was, $1050 was dropped on the debentures. The interest paid on the purchase during the One the debentures were held from sale ($697.30) was nearly balanced by the acerited interest received ($603.. 70). The statement is a most sa isfac- tory one, mad the Executive eomunit• tee deserve the thanks of the citizens for their careful and successful man- agement of the electric lighting de- partment, Not only has the annual payutettt, been met, but the Town is better off. by the extension of the street lighting system, and permanent improvements to the plant of $1108.33. So far, municipal ownership in Wing - Won bas been a success, and that in the initial year. We expect even bet- tor results in the future.

(Bruce Herald) Dudley Holmes, of Wfngllatla is the man West Huron Conservatives look to to retire one M. G. Cameron, M. P, P. The majority of the latter in 1002 was only about 25, (Seaforth Expositor) At the Conservative convention held in West Huron on Monday last, Mr, Dudley Holmes, of Wingham, was selected as the Conservative standard bearer at the next Provin- cial .election and accepted the nomina- tion. Mr. Holmes as a. promising young barrister andyshould make a' strong and popular candidate. He is a son of Dr. Holmes, of Goderich, County Treasurer, (Clinton News Record) Major Dudley Holmes of Wing - ham, who was on Monday nominated by the West Huron Conservatives as their candidate for the Legislature, is a native of this county and well known in all parts of it. He was born in Goderich and is a member of a family prominently identified with the early history of Huron. He is able, young, vigorous and genial and will be a winner in the race for the Legislature. (Goderich Signal) The Conservative candidate for West Huron, Dudley Holmes bar- rister, of Wingllana, is a, likeable young man and will doubtless make a good run. Before his removal to ingham he was a resident of Gode- rich, where, after graduating from school, he commenced the practice of his profession and served for several years in the town council. During his residence in Wingham he has doubtless made a large acquaintance in that end of the riding, and it was doubtless this twofold connection which largely commended him to the nominating convention. George Cunningham, V. S., is visit- ing at his home in Brussels. Miss Dora White of Toronto is visiting at her home in town. Mr. John George of Net Elgin gave the Advance a call last Friday, Miss Minnie Higgins and brother, Chester, returned from Manitoba last week.

Wellwood and family, of West Wawanosh, sur- prised. them by gathering in their house one evening, prior to their re- moval to Wingham. The reason will be readily seen from the following ad- dress, which accompanied the ppresen- tation of two easy chairs to Mr. and Mrs. Wellwood, and other tokens of esteem to the Misses Wellwood. ADDRESS. DEAR FRIENDS,—Hearing of your intended removal from our midst, we felt we could not allow it to pass un- noticed, hence we, a few of your friends. and neighbors, have gathered to -night to have a social evening with yon. As we think of bidding farewell, our minds are carried back over the many years of your sojourn amongst us. Some of us who are older received a loving and friendly grip of your hand in the early days of the settle- ment of Huron, We think of the many kindly visits and loving words ; oft ayou he sacrifices made byin order that someone else might receive your loving ministrations. We cannot help but think, Bro. Wellwood, of the many years of your official relation- ship in. the Church of God, to which you have always been true, and your earnest desire by counsel and example to lead others to a better life. In bid- ding adieu to you, we feel we are do- ing so to true and loyal hearts, who will cherish kindly thoughts of the years spent in this community. We trust that iaa your future life success may attend your efforts, and the most sanguine hopes be more than realized. As we anticipate your removal, we feel that one link in the chain of friendship, must be severed, to be welded we trust as firmly in some other quarter, and as a small token of our esteeIai we present you with these "Easy Chairs," hoping yon may be long spared to enjoy them, and that you will ever cherish the kindest thoughts for those to whom now bid you a kind and loving farewell. And to you, Misses Hattie and Etta, we also express regret at your removal. Think not your presence will not be missed in this community. Your ear- nest desire to be of service to us has not been in vain. In our social circles and ehuseh exercises sou will be great- ly missed indeed. We, your Metho- dist friends, will greatly miss your eervlces in the public means of grace, where for a number of years you have taken at most prominent part in the service of song. We trust that wher- ever you may go, like serviette will be appreciated, and that God may richly bless ,you in alt your future career. Please accept these small tokens of our esteem and affection for you. Sinned on behalf of Committee. Successful anniversary services were held et Iaatl�g#'side, Sunday Nov. 23. Rev, Thos.
