The Owen Sound Times reports as
follows :—A genuine surprise was
sprung on the people of this vicinity
by the movement in hotel property
this week. Saturday last Messrs. W.
Legate and J. P. Raven, acting for
other parties, purchased the Seldou
House for $38,000. The figure includ-
ed the real estate, furniture and good
will of the business. On Wednesday,
acting for other parties, Mr. Legate
purchased at $16,000 the Queen's
Hotel property from Mrs. Corbet.
The upshot of both transactions is
that the Owen Sound Hotel Company,
ajoint stock proposition with a capit-
alization of $100,000, is in course of
organization to take over both pro-
perties, and the proposition is to make
the experiment of conducting these
two popular housed without the sale
of intoxicating liquor. Mr. and Mrs.
Shipman relinquish their control of
the Seldon House on October 1st,
while Mrs. Duncan's lease has six
months yet to run. With a first class
commercial house and a popular farm-
ers' hotel under their control the ex-
periment of running both without
permitting the sale ofliquor on the
premises will be watched with in-
terest. The other hotel men for the
time at least will have the advantage
of the reduction in the number of
places where liquor is sold.
The people of Wingham are cer-
tainly getting bargains at the Bank -

present, you will probably hear from
us later on.—CAREY SHOE Co., Rit-

Mrs. Flack's Death.
Since announcing Mrs. Flack's death
in hast issue of the Advance, we are in
receipt of a letter from Mr. Flack,
After leaving Wingham, Mrs. Flack
never enjoyed a single day's health.
The journey was too much for her,
and severe colds hastened the end.
It was hoped that the climate of Al-
berta would prove beneficial but these
hopes were not realized. She was
taken i11 the first day of her arrival at
Clareshohn, and for sixteen weeks
suffered with Christian patience and
without a murmur. In the evening
of Sept. 12th, the angel of death carne
and the wheels of life stood still. Mr.
Flack writes with a burdened lonely
heart, but is comforted by the thought
that hisss artner passed triumphantly
home, the sting of death being taken
away. We can assure Mr. Flack that
the news was received with sincere
regret, and deepest sympathy is felt
for him in his loneliness.
Threshing Accident.
On the afternoon of Friday last an-
other was added to the season's grow-
ing list of terrible threshing machine
accidents. The victim this time was
Joint' Kritz, of near Formosa. He
was working with Harper's threshing
gang on the farm of lin. Sillick, of
the 12th of Culross, when the accident
occurred. One of the main belts slip-
ped off a pulley and Kritz caught it
with his hand to prevent it being
caught in a gear. As the other end of
the belt remained on the pulley it lin-
mediately began to twist and Kritz'
hand became caught in a loop and was
twisted with the belt. The arm was
almost twisted off at the elbow and
nothing hnt the breaking of the belt,
which was defective, prevented its
being taken off altogether. Drs.
Stewart and Gillies were sent for and
it was thought best to amputate the
limb between the elbow and shoulder.
At last accounts the unfortunate man
was doing as well as could be expect-
ed.—(Teeswater News.

Rev. Lowe inducted.
The London Free Press gives the
following, regarding our former
townsman—On Sunday last, Rev.
Win. Lowe was inducted rector of St.
Matthew's Church in this city. Ven.
J. B. Richardson, D.C.L.. Archdeacon
of London, officiated on the occasion
at the morning service, and the cere-
mony was witnessed by a large and
interested congregation. The rector -
elect read first, a declaration of assent
to the canons of the Church. The
archdeacon then road the mandate of
the Bishop of Huron authorizing Mr.
Lowe's induction to the corporal pos-
session of the incumbency of the
parish. This was followed bythe
delivery of the keys othe
chnrcir into the hands of the rector -
elect by the churchwardens, Messrs.
TI. Farman and W. Bryrns, and the
formal acceptance of the saute. The
archdeacon then handed to the rector -
elect the Bible and Book of Common
Prayer, to be the rule of his conduct
in dispensing God's Holy Word and
leading the devotions of the people.
The newly appointed teeter afterward
proceeded with morning service and
the archdeacon preached- a special ser-
mon bearing upon the extension of
the Church. He paid ahigh tribute
to the ability, zeal and earnestness of
the new rector, and pressed upon the
congregation their duties and re-
sponsibilities toward him.
October Forecasts.
Rev. Hicks' forecasts for October
are given as follows, though very
much condensed, and merely outlin-
ed :—Change to warmer andcloudy
weather about 1st and 2nd. On 3rd,
4th and 5th, these conditions will
work eastward, causing rains and -
storms in many places. Northwester-
ly gales will he followed by clearing,
frosty weather. The reactionary
storm conditions on 7th, 8th and Oth
will result in more rain and storms,
moving in storm centres like vast
trains from west to east. The next
storm period extends from 13th to
17th, and very decided Returnee'
storms will visit many parts about
16th or 17th; gales out of the north
with dashes of sleet and snow maybo
)est From. 9 h to
expected. l t 21st there
will again be a tendency to cold rains
and sleet. The last storm period will
extend from 24th to 290i, being
central Ott 25th. Look for change to
warmer about 2401, By 20th, decided
storms, attended by heavy rains,
thturder and lightning will work from
west to east, reaching their crisis, and
culminating with much force on and
touching 28th. A sadden incl severe
change to much colder will rush out
of the north and west within 24 hours
after sett -down on the 28th. This is
a crisiscif peril to all on northern
lakes, As the month goes Ont there
will be a change to warmer, the first
stage of reactionary storm conditions
which Will develop to disturbed and
stormy weather in opening days of
November.

Millinery Openings.
On Tuesday evening, the millinery
openings were the attraction, at least
to the ladies. As usual, Miss Boyd's
shop was well-filled with admirers of
fashionable fall head wear. Even
from the sidewalk her stock looked
very attractive, but a closer inspec-
tion revealed a very neat and pretty
display of deft handiwork, that could
not fail to please, and it is not surpris-
ing to hear that orders were booked
for some of the gay s teciinens of full
and winter wear. At the Misses
Little's, there was also a large attend-
ance ; these ladies have but recently
Y
open in Wingham, and are well. pleas-
ed with the prospects. Their stock is
very neat and tastily arranged, and
comprises all the leading styles of
seasonable millinery, that cannot fail
to
please. They report good success
so tar, and many orders, as the result
of their first opening display. Mrs.
Green and Mrs. Aley held no formal
opening, but are as usual ready to
serve their patrons.
A Useful Life Ended.
Under this heading, the Emo Ob-
server gives the following, referring
to the death of Mrs. (Dr.) Bethune, a
former resident of Winghant :—"A
life full of beauty and unselfishness
was closed on Saturday night, when
the grim Messenger of Death sum-
moned Mrs. Alexander Bethune,
mother of F. H. Bethune, M. D., at
the age of 65 years. When the news
of her death, although not unexpect-
ed, spread throughout the town ex-
pressions of profound regret were
heard on all sides, for although a resi-
dent of Euto only about two years,
she had endeared herself to all by her
kindly «a
Ya and by her readiness s to
assist those who were in need of help.
1•Irs. Bethune had been unwell for
some time and was compelled to take
to herpp
e bed about a month ago, just ' tat
a time when she was contemplating a
visit to friends in the east. It was
seen from the first that the end was
near at hand, but her son made a
heroic effort to stem the inevitable,
and was a constant watcher at the
bedside. No human agency could
prevail, however, and the patient
gradually grew weaker, until about
8.30 Saturday night the slender thread
which bound soul and body together
was parted. Her loss, not only to Dr.
Bethune, but to the whole eoni-
munity, will be deeply felt, for she
was well known for her many acts of
kindness and charity, and especially
in the homes of the sick, where she
was always a welcome visitor, will her
kindly presence be missed. A large
number of residents of both town and
country attended the funeral to show
their respect to one who held the
esteem of the entire community.

YOUNG PEOPLE'S CONVENTION.
The Young People's Convention of
the Presbyterial of Maitland, held last
week was a decided success, and there
were large gatherings both afternoon
and evening. The program as pre-
pared by the corresponding secretary
was carried out, and was interesting
and .
'1'he aftehelpfulrnoon session was prefaced
by a ver
excellent
llent or an
prelude by
Mrs. Hestia of Belrave. The opening
exercises
coini-
exercises were conducted by the Presi-
dent, Rev. J. J. Hastie, after which
was the President's address, being a
resume of the work of the young peo-
ple of the Presbytery. During last
year a Home missionary was support-
ed in the Northwest at an expense of
$250, and a native worker itt the for-
eign field at $50, and there was almost
$50 yet on hand. A very pretty solo
was sung by Miss Chisholm, and the
first paper of the day was read by
Walter Burgess of Wingham, on the
"Value of Youth." It was very care-
fully prepared and dwelt upon many
very important elements of early man-
hood and womanhood and the many
influences that affect that plastic
stage. Dr. J. Murray of Kincardine
opened the discussion upon this sub-
ject. Dr. Murray has been in the
ministry since 1808 and yet maintains
his youthful vitality and freshness to
a remarkable degree. In a few well-
chosen remarks he showed how im-
portant were the days of early life
and how they ought to be used :aright.
Miss Jean Habkirk of Brussels then (, ,
read an excellent taper on the "'Worth
of the C. E." in which were shown the

done by,

that •• UGS
institution and the valuable asstance
it was to christian work and individ-
ual christian character. The discus-
sion was led by Rev. J. Burnett of
Molesworth. A third paper was read
by Miss Maggie McKague of Tees -
water, on the "Joy .of service." This
paper formed the third in the series
and indicated the reward that belong.-
_ ed to those consecrated 10 the service
of the Master—that supreme sati,fae-
tion that comes from doing something
worth while, a joy which the world
knows nothing of. Mr. Perrin of
Wroxeter and Mr. llc•Nab of Walton
took part in the discussion and it was
emphasized that joy could never be
obtained by doing merely what we
had to do hitt by addinglove's over -
plus or going the second mile. At
this juncture' the audience listened tet
a duet by Hiss Farquharson and Mr.
G. W. (`line, which was very much
appreciated. Tire' address of the after-
noon was then given by Rev. W. 11.
Geddes of Ailea Craig.. Itis subject
was the Christian Endeavor Pledge.
In his earnest, sympathetic and prac-
tical way, he passed from part to part
and left a deep impression upon his
very attentive audience. He showed
that the pledge was just what every
chervil member was praetically re-
quires- to do. He lingered with in-
terest upon the clause "strive to do
whatsoever He would have me do'
and upon the question of the active
member, duty.
Previous to the evening session a
very interesting atntl clever organ re-
cital was given by Miss Sheik, the or-
gatnist• of the church. After opening
exercises and a selection by the choir,
the minutes of the last meeting wet e
react by Air. Dan Martin and adopted.
a he Treastn•ers repent was also te-
ceived, which showed very liberal giv-
ings by tate Societies in the Presby-
tery. It was decided t<s eontiune the
support of a Roe Missionary and to
take Home
up two shares in a Foreign Mis-
sionary
- at .i() each, in addition ' o the
nativeworker supported lash year.
('ottununieations would' then be re oiv-
eti regularly from this missionary, itt
whnin they have their shares, similar
to the communication they now have
with the Home missionary, Mt.. Mc-
Derinid, whom they support. The

Councillors—Miss Habkirk, Brussels;
Miss Alexander, Aiolesworth; Walter
Burgess, Winghant ; ,John A, Giax'di-
ner, Kincardine. In the absence of
Mr. Ross, Inspector Chisholm of Ifin-
cardine opened the discussion on the
subject "How can we improve next
year's Convention?” His first state-
ment was that as good place was neces-
sary to hold it, and in behalf of Kin-
cardine Society extended a hearty in-
vitation to the Presbyterial to meet -
there next September. This invita-
tion was gladly accepted. Mr. Chis-
holm then proceeded to thediscussion,
the key -note of which for the most
part was—Push more of the laity into
the active work of the Convention and
let the ministers not assume too much.
Plan from this moment onward, he
said. Let local organizations be train-
ing and rehearsing for next year's
Convention. Some discussion ensued,
and many profitable suggestions were
offered, After singing "Onward
Christian Soldiers," the address. of the
evening was given by Rev. R. G. Mc-
Beth of Paris, Mr. McBetlt was born
and raised on the Red River, and gave
many interesting reminiscences of
early days, of Prairie schooners, Indi-
ans and pioneer missionary work.
Ilis address was an inspiration to all
for greater effort towards the Presby-
terianism of the West, which was the
first in the land and has proven to be
so stable and persevering in every
great and trying circumstance.
Hymn 239, "Work for the night is
coining," was then sung, and a Con-
vention not soon to be forgotten was
brought to a close.
