Mr. Wilson was away at the time, and Mrs. Wilson was un- able to save the contents, There was J insurance on the building, but none on the contents, hence the loss will be serious. All kinds of Cigars and Tobaccoes at Kruse's. Lucknow vs. Wingham. These Hockey teams are billed for lively contest on Wingham rink on Friday evening next. As both teams are in the Northern League, both are anxious to win, hence an interesting game is assured. Wingham juniors defeated Lucknow, on the rink of that village on Monday last, by a score of 8-2. Very Quick Work. Only two hours are required to transform the growing cedar into a printed neivspaper. This fact has been established as the result of a wager within the last month. A. growing tree was cut down, its trunk hurried 4o a pulp mill, thence trans- ferred to the paper mill as pulp, the paper in the continuous roll was car- ried to a printing office by auto' and put into the press. In exactly two, hours from the time the axe was laid upon trees, boys were crying the pro- duct in the streets. Property Sold. "The Advance did it," said Mr. Dun- can Stewart, He referred to an ad- vertisement he placed in the Advance for the sale of his residence on Patrick street. Mr, Wm. Wellwood, who has been disappointed in the purchase of other properties, is the purchaser of Mr. Stewart's residence ata price that is very satisfactory to the seller. Mr. Wellwood gets . possession within a few weeks. C. Lloyd & Son have pur- chased from Mr. Stewart the two- story vacant building on Victoria street, and will use part of it as a stor- age room for their surplus stock of doors. T. H. Ross is appointed sole dealer for Iieintzman & Co., the popular piano, for Wingham and surrounding country. A flood Councillor. Sincere regret will be felt at the resignation of Win. Holmes from the list of Councillors nominated. Mr. Holmes has served the town long and well. For many years he has given his time; and labor, and Wingham never hadkmore honest, faithful and efficient representative, Perhaps no man in town has abetter knowledge of the Waterworks, and he will be missed at the Council Board. We un- derstand that he had consented to stand for the Council, but on account of the actions of one or two "sore- heads" he 'decided to withdraw. To say that Mr. Holmes has devoted more time to the interests of Wing- ham than a dozen of the sample that brought about his resignation, is put- ting it, perhaps, strongly, but truth. fully. At Fourscore Years. The following from the Dungannon correspondent of the Goderich Signal, refers to the mother Of Mr. ,Ino. Glenn of Wingham :—"Ott Saturday, the 17th inst., Mrs. Jane Glenn, relict of the late Wm. Glenn, who pre-deceatsed her aboutyears, departed fourteen de arted this life at her residence In Dittigan- non, death being due to the Infirmities of old age. She was seventy-nine years and three months old and had been suffering from general debility for a length of time. liar remains Were interred in Dungannon cemetery, Tttesday, . the 20th.

Mrs. Glenn, along with her de- ceased husband, were early settlere in Wawanosh, having located on the farm on the east side of Glenn's hill. By sheer industry acrd perseverance' they secured a coutfortasbie home for themielvoe and Nally. Wingham �ld�ance' WINGHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1904. St. Paul's Church, Bright, helpful services were held in St. Paul's last Sunday. The church was prettily decorated, and the music by the choir and sermons by the rec- tor were appreciated. At the close, the rector thanked the congregation for the liberal collection, the largest since his coming among them, and also fon" their kindness to his family. Next Sunday, the Sacrament will be administered after morning and even- ing services. The Busy Bee. The Colborne correspondent of the Goderich Star gives the following item—"About two years agoa swarm of bees found their way into the wall of George Clark's house, Loyal. Last week our well-known bee keeper, Al- fred Dodd,, accompanied by James Adams, undertook to remove the bees, when to their surprise they found, as they removed board after board, the bees had built the comb five feet high, from which they removed fully 150 lbs. of honey,, Notwithstanding the frosty weather, they also saved the large colony of bees." Serious Accident. A serious accident happened on Thursday last at the intersection of Josephine and Patrick streets. Mrs. Young, an aged lady, residing on Min- nie street, was crossing Josephine St., when she was injured by a horse driven by Mr. Thomas Forbes. The street was thronged at the time, and so far as we can ascertain, Mr's. Young either did not see the horse and cutter coming, or attempted to cross ahead. in any case, she was struck by the horse, knocked down, and was soon between the horse's feet and the run- ners of the cutter. Mr. Forbes at once endeavored to release her, but the horse stepped upon Mrs. Young's head, cutting it severely. She was taken to Dr. Kennedy's office, and her injuries attended to. Financial Statement. The financial statement of the Treas- urer for the town of Wingham is be- fore the electors, The total taxes for the year collected up to Dec. 15 were $14,498.54, with $680 uncollected.

The New Year. Like its predecessors it will be one of thrilling interest. First of all, thir- ty millions of people will die. These will not be all of the aged and none of the young, orall of the weak and none of the strong; but they will range from helpless infancy to helpless age. More than a hundred millions will watch with these, .and mourn their taking off. Millions more will be born. Many millions will suffer re- verses and collapse of fortune; other millions will win success ; millions will be thrown out of employment with all the usual distress in humble homes, and other millions will enter into the crowded strife for "crust or crown." Great national events will occur ; the play upon the political stage will go on el usual, and maps will be changed. But over all God rules. Not a Apes - row shall fall without 'his notice, not a smiling infant sleep unguarded by his angels, not a wayworn pilgrim lay down the burden of life without his permission, not a nation, however strong, stir without his nod. We may enter the New `Year, and we may not, near as it is. Shall we see its close P How uncertain is life! Ere 1905 shall close, countless changes shall come—changes in the communi- ty, changes in the home. There will be losses and crosses, separation of dearest friends, and many other trials unforeseen and unexpected. But there will no doubt be more sunshine than cloud, anti more of hope than of dis- may anti fear. Let each tie his or her duty faithfully, even in the little hs of life. Obedience toDivine g d i e commands, and reliance on Divine strength will wonderfully aid its to combat evil, bridge the chasms of life's diflfeulties, and help us on in the way to happiness and success. The Ad- vance wishes its readers a most happy and prosperous New Year.

Anthony Oldfield, a well-known far- mer of Downie township, met with a peculiar accident, While engaged in digging a well, and working 20 feet below the surface, a hog wandered over and fell in on him, Mr. Oldtleld is in a very critical condition as a re - suit of this avalanche of pork. The pig is dead. Mr. Oldfield says "he is fond of pork, but doesn't like it in such big chunks.,, Christmas Cantata. A beautiful Christmas Cantata, en- titled "The Star Divine," was given in Methodist Church on Monday evening by the combined choirs of the Church and Sunday School. It consisted of solos, duetts, choruses, recitations and responsive Scripture readings. It was given under the direction of Mr. J, A, Morton, and was one of the most en- joyable entertainments ever given in the church, The musical parts were well rendered, and the little ones acted their parts well. A very pretty scene was shown in the darkened church, when children recited asthey were seated around the open fireplace, in which was a most excellent represen- tation of a burning log of wood. This was an ingenious contrivance, and by means of the manipulation of hidden electric lights, the flickering of the fire was prettily imitated. A most pleas- ing feature was the dressing of the Christmas tree by Miss Edith Walker and a band of prettily -dressed chil- dren. The gifts were intended to be sent to the Deaconess Home, Toronto, for distribution among poor children into whose life there comes but little Christmas cheer. The entertainment was much appreciated, and its success' is mainly due.to Mr, Morton's untiring energy, and the hearty vote of thanks tendered hint at the close was evidence of the appreciation of those who listened to the cantata. Oranges at prices from 15e. to 50c. per dozen at L. G. Kruse's. Presentation. A very enjoyable time was spent on Friday evening last at the •home of Mr, A. B, Lloyd, where a number of the teachers and members of Mizpah Sabbath school, East Wawanosh, had gathered together. Games, music and social conversation were thoroughly enjoyed. The following address was read to 1Vir's, John Linklater of East Wawanosh, See.-Treas. of the Sabbath school a-- • Mrs. John Linklater, We, the members of the Mizpah Sabbath school desire to express to you in seine tangible form, our apre- ciation of your services to the school. Your hearty sympathy and co -opera tion has been a large factor in bring- ing our school up to the standard of excellence and usefuhress which it now enjoys, We have pleasure there - 'fore in presenting you with this Couch as a slight token of our esteem and confidence in you. We trust you may be long spared to work in the Master's vineyard and to this end, we pray that you may be a blessing in this cause. Signed on behalf of the school, J. J. Kerr, J. G. Fyfe. Mrs. Linklater was altogether taken by surprise but replied, thanking the friends for their kindness, confidence and appreciation of her services, and wishing the Sunday school continued success, and that every effort put forth would be blessed by Him, the Giver of all good. Lunch was then served and the happy company dispersed to their several homes. The greatest Organ ever made is the Bell, of Guelph. I sell them at very reasonable prices and on easy terms of payment.

The I! amily Herald and Weekly Star has recently hinted that there might possibly be a surprise for its readers in the near future, and we see in this week's issue they have carried, out the hint. Ralph Connor, the author of "The Man from Glengarry," has issued several startling stories, but the greatest of all is his thrilling work entitled "The Prospector." Only the wealthiest magazines of England and the United States with their mil- lions of readers have heretofore been ale to paythei able price to secure serial rights of suh stories, and it, is inded a surprise to learn that the Family Herald has secured the exclusive Canadian rights of "The Pr'ospeetoi ' as a Christmas gift to its readers. Family Herald readers may well feel proud of their weekly visitor, for they certainly are in for a big dollar's worth this season. DR. Ovens, of London, Surgeon, fits glasses property.
