Jt is about five feet below the ground,. three feet above, and is 25 feet square. The contractors for the laying of the mains would have had their work completed, only that they have had to wait for valves, and may yet finish on time. W. H. Green has begun the ex- cavation for the new cement flume, so that the work is well on the way. Just arrived, piles of new Rain Coats. Cravonettes, Overcoats, Suits, Odd Pants, Overalls, Smocks, etc., at A. R. Small's. Why Not Try This. A problem which sometimes baffles the cook is how to preserve rhubarb so that it can be put on the table dur- ing the winter months in at form pleasing to the eye, as well as to the taste. This problem the Institute workers claim to have solved, and, judging by appearances, the conten- tion is well founded. To follow their methods, take the late growth before getting too old, cut the stalks in pieces about half an inch in length, put in a jar, cover with., cold water, seal it up, and the work is done. The acid in the rhubarb preserves it per- fectly, and when taken out it may be treated as though it were fresh. This cold water treatment bas also been successfully applied to gooseberries. Made A Mistake. Some months ago members of the Sarnia council concluded that pro- perty owners along any street could be forced to pay for a granolithic side- walk, even if none of them were will- ing to sign a petition. All that the law seemed to require was a standing vote of two-thirds of the council. The council began to lay sidewalks along streets where they were not wanted, and the property owners were forced to pay a frontage tax in the same way as if the walk had been laid in the usual way by a petition signed by a majority of the owners on the sf cot. At some meetings more than a mile of sidewalk would be voted through in that way. It now turns out that the firm which was to buy the debentures refuses to take them, their lawyers claiming that before the sidewalks were laid there should have been notification sent to the parties who were to pay for thein.

The County Valuators have com- pleted their work, so far as townships are concerned ; they regard McKillop as the best township, all round, in the county. Brussels and Wroxeter vil- lages are also completed, and the time of the Valuators will now be given to the other towns and villages in the county. Mr. Spedding, for some time past book-keeper at the Western Foundry, expects to leave Wingham soon. This many will regret, as Mr. Spedding is a live business man, and an excellent book-keeper. His ability and ex- perience will no doubt secure him a more lucrative situation in some commercial centre. Mrs. Jno. Loutitt, Culross, won the 25e butter prize for the best tub re- ceived during past two weeks. GEo. E. RING. We regret to announce that N.

Ile haus gone to his home near St. Mary. ; we hope soon to see him return restored. Mr. Geo. Spotton. the Manager, is taking his place in the meantime. The Clinton News -Record is inform- ed that the county assessment will bo largely increased as the result of the labors of the three valuators now at work. In some of the townships the advance will be so marked that the taxpayers will at once realize that they have not been paying a fair share of the county rate these several years past. Norxc'n.-Do you wish to sell your Life Insurance Policy is If so call on ale and realize a much larger VASE VALUE than you would receive from the Company: -0. J. MA(+triitn, Real Estate Agent. The Goderich Star reports thus :- On Friday W. F. Diamond, of Whig- bam, was before Judge Doyle on a charge of homey. The young man was arrested on the arrival of the str, Ii;ing Edward, at the instigation of his father, who seethed to think that his son Might do something wrong. The charge was well ventilat- ed, the defendant himself giving evi- dence in his own behalf, and in the end his Honor reserved judgment, and defendant was sent back to jail. The defendant's trouble if any, is caused by a too vivid imagination, for he in- terprets a letter sent hits by a young lady, in a sense entirely opposed to its wording. Judgment may be rete• bred dutWog than earning week, WING-EAM, ONT., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 19O . Debentures Sold.

Councillor VaunSLone came home from the hospital in Toronto on Fri- day evening, perhaps rather sooner than he should, but the quiet of one's own home is infinitely preferable to any room in any hospital, and we are pleased to say that on Saturday he ap- peared none the worse for the trip. He is getting along nicely and will soon be able to move around again and attend to business. Try our special 28c Tea in green or black, it will please you. --L. G. Kruse, Corner Grocery. A Good Paper. Farmers, are you acquainted with The Weekly Sun ? If not, yon Wright do worse than try it until Jan. lst next. Leave 25 eta. at the Advance office, and get the Advance and Sun until 1st Jan. next. The Sun claims to lie an independent journal for farm and home. The claim is fair. It is a clean paper, therefore fit for the home. It is particularly adapted to the farm home because it is edited and pub- lished with a view to interest every person in the home -the old and young, reale and female -all may read it regularly with profit. Its market page we consider equal to the hest in the Dominion for farmers. We un- hesitatingly recommend The Sun to every farm' house in Canada. It is one dollar a year, and good value for the money. The Advance and the Sun ono year for $1.80. Hurrah For Blyth Fair. The great Blyth Fair will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday next, Octo- ber 10th and llth. This year's fair promises to be larger and better than ever. The prize list has been enlarged ancl revised, and contains some of the best prizes to be found in any fall fair prize list in Ontario. There will be three speeding contests, as follows :- 2.40 trot or pace -purse, $75 ; 2.25 trot or pace -purse, $100 ; 2.19 trot or pace -purse, $125. Single fare tickets can be secured from any Grand Trunk sta- tion within 85 Miles of Blyth ; all tickets are good from Monday after- noon until Thursday night. There will be two special trains on the se- cond night of the fair. The first will leave Blyth at 10.20 p. in. for Clinton and way stations, making connection at Clinton with the regular train for Goderich. The second special train will leave Blyth at 11.15 p. m. for Wingham and way stations. These trains have been arranged to enable visitors from the. neighboring places to attend the fall fair concert. This year the Blyth fair directors are hold- ing two concerts, one each night of the fair, and for which the very best talent has been secured. Wingham Band will furnish music during the second day of the fair. Ladies of Wingham and vicinity are invited to call and inspect the large and beautiful stock of new fall milli- nery at Mrs. Green's. Grand Trunk Improvements. As announced some time ago, very extensive improvements are contem- plated at the Grand Trunk railway station, Wingham. The intention is to complete the changes this fall, and the work has been commenced. At present, we can merely outline the changes. In the first place, the whole yard is to be entirely remodeled. Front the fence near Catharine street, the hill will be cut down so as to com- pletely level the yard from the fence referred to, down to the site of the present station. On this extensive yard tracks will be laid, and here the switching will be done. The cat- tie pens are being romnoved to the east end of the yard, and the present freight sheds will be moved back from the main line, and some distance eastward, and will be used entirely for furniture freight sheds for the fac- tories. A new freight shed for general freight will be erected, 150 feet long. The engine house, now west of Josephine street will be re- moved near the oatmeal mill. The present passenger station will bo re- moved, and a fine new building erect- ed, to stand ninety feet back from Josephine street. This building will not cost less than $10,000, and may cost much 'chore, but that much at least is the estimate. On the north and south sides of the new station, granolithic walks will be laic. to the. main street, and between these either a grass plot or flower beds will be laid out. Hence the front Will pre- sentaa neat appearance, and the busses will be given a location farther back. In a few days the contractors for the levelling will be at work, as the con- tract is let at 23 ets. tl' cubic yard. There will be a busy scene on the G. T. it. grounds soon, and some con- fusion perhaps; but out of it all will - conto better buildings, greater con- venience, wonderful improvement, creditable to the G. T. 14. and worthy of the thriving town of Wingham, rora 8Al.i.. --- Comfortable house, goe(l lot, new stable, well situated; also 2 good cook stoves, 3 heatets,.one piano (good its new) 2 bedroom anrtes - pictures and other household fern!! tune.

The business for the past year was successful, for a dividend of seven per cent. was declared, ilfr, F. Tay- lor has returned from Toronto and is again in the Manager's chair, Mr. Cunningham will still superintend the practical work, for which position, he is so well adapted. The Co, begins a new year with good prospects for increased business. It has become one of the established and prosperous industries of our town. Messrs. T. Bell and F. VanStono are directors resident in Wingham. Funny, Isn't it. The London Free Press is a good daily paper, and has improved wond- erfully of late, but it is often lament- ably behind in its Wingharn news. On Monday last, October 2nd, it had as a "Special" from Wingham, an item announcing the appointment of Mr, 0. P, Smith, as Manager of the Bank of Hamilton. This appointment was made on August 31st and was re- , ported in next issue of The Advance, that of September 7th. "Special" news items a month old are too funny for anything in an enterprising daily like the Free Press, and if its editor would scan the columns of the Wing - ham papers lying on its exchange table, the Free Press retains would get Winghaant news every Friday at - least, and not have to dish up news a month old as "Special." < From Rev. W. Lowe. '.1'he Advance has received the fol- lowing letter from Rev. Wm, Lowe, of London, which speaks for itself :-- MY DEAR MR. BALL -Having just returned from the reception tendered us this evening by the church wardens and members of St. Matthew's church, I thought it my duty to write, and ask you, to thank my many friends in Wingham, through your valuable paper, for all their kindness to my- self and family during my incumbency of St. Paul's. I shall never forget their kind words and acts. And I feel, I am greatly indebted to yon Me. Editor for the umny times yon have mentioned my name in such kindly terms in the columns of your paper, which I shall always read, with pro- fit and pleasure. We are not quite settled yet, but expect to be in a few days. It is needless for me to say, that both Mrs. Lowe and myself will be more than pleased to see our Wingham friends at 892 Lorne Avenue, (provided they do not all come at once.) Thanking you Mr. Editor and the kind friends in Wing - ham for favours already received. Believe ale. Yours very truly, Wm. Lawn. London, Sept. 20th, 1905. DR.

The annual meeting of the Wing - ham Branch Bible Society will be held in the Baptist church on Wednesday evening, Oct. llth, at 8 o'clock. Ad- dresses will be delivered by Rev. D. Perrie and Rev. J. R. Gundy D. D. Good music will be provided. The prayer -meetings will be withdrawn in all the churches in town on that evening in order that there may be a grand rally in the interests of the Bible Society. The Wingham Branch has undoubtedly shown signs of much life and vigor, for during the year 1001 they forwarded to the Upper Ca- nada Bible Society the sum of $237.05 (including the centenary offerings) and they are expecting the same _ liberal support from the people of Wingham and vicinity this year. The great Parent Society has issued over 180 million copies of the scrip- tures in 378 languages and dialects and yet there are over 400 millions of our fellowmen for whom no line of the Bible bas yet been published in any language they can understand. The pressing needs of these benighted peoples ought to be a constraining incentive to us to redouble our efforts, and enter with renewed zeal and vigor upon the work of publishing the glad tidings through the distribution of the inspired Word. A Noble Response. Last Sunday was Iiarvest Home day in connection with Wingham Methodist Church. Rev. W. McDon- agh, of Stratford, a veteran of fifty - Lice • ' the t years ar stn ministry, preached horning and evening. The pulpit platform was decorated with flowers, fruit, vegetables, etc., very prettily arranged. It had been known for some time that an effort was to be made to wipe off the remaining debt on the chnrch on that day. Prepara- tory to this, the pastor, assisted by a committee, plate a canvass, and the refusals to assist were few indeed. The congregations were asked. to place upon the plates $1t0() to liqui- date the debt, and they responded nobly by contributing $1565.50 Of this about $1000 was in cash, and most of the rest will bo paid in this week, or in a short time, so that this fine edifice will in a few (lays be free of debt. The corner stone was laid May 24th, 1901, and the church completed and opened in February, 1902. In the short time since, the debt has been re- moved and the pipe organ purchased and paid for. At the approaching an- niversary in December, it is expected that Rev. R. Hobbs, under whose earnest efforts the church was erected, will preach anniversary sermons and "burn the mortgage." Considering that when the enterprise was com- menced, the Trustees had not a single dollar in the building fund, it is ques- tionable if the Conference on beat the record made by Wingham Metho- dist Church ; we know of nothing aap- preaching it, (specially pleasing is the fact that no urging, or public ap- peals by professional "money -raisers" were necessary. The members of the congregation knew their duty and did it nobly. Nor is it what may be termed a wealthy congregation. Some pessimists predicted that not more than three-fourths of the subscription list would be forthcoming. The fact is, that there has been less than one per cent. unavailable. This too, is a remarkable record, Il1itda.arys IN Sirens.---liaaving add- ed to the Ritchie bankrupt stock $3,500 worth of new and np-to-date Boots, Shoes and Rubbers, bought at a low rate on the dollar, we are prepared to offer great bargains itt the above, as well as dry goods, ete, 0 ztn Sitox Co., 'Wellies old stand, SEPTEMBER EXAMINATIONS.

The Benedicts started out with a big lead with the intention of shutting out the colts.
