A Warning To. Boys.
Norman Livingston, son of Rev.
Jas. Livingston the well known
clergyman, now of London, was held
for trial in the Detroit court on Mon-
day, charged with robbing a saloon-
keeper. Livingston's father called at
the jail after the examination and had
a long talk with his son. 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. He was a bright
young fellow, and his present disgrace
is the result of keeping bad company,
and thinking he knew more than his
estimable parents.

Mrs. Raley, missionaries to the In-
dians at IGltalnaat, 13, 0. Me Raley
writes that they have received a nuts..
ber of letters from Wingham and
vicinity, which they cannot answer,
He expects to visit the Leagues of the
district in a short time, and thus
see and converse with those who are

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
public have been tempted by dollar
dailfe' and trashy weeklies at give-
away prices, but when it comes clown
to value for your money the Family
Herald. and Weekly Star has no com-
petitor. The publishers report an
enormous increase in new business
and are earnestly beseeching their old
readers to renew now and save them
from confusiou in the great rush at
Christmas.
Our stock of Storm Gaiters, Artics
and Leggins is very complete. Every-
thing for whiter foot protection at

Organ Recital.
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.

Egg Emporium Burned.
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

Municipal Ownership.
'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.

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.

A. short time ago the many friends
and neighbors of Mr. Wm. 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.
