Learn this one thing, learn it early in life and learn it well, that the man who does not believe as you do is not always a fool. The fact that you hold views not in accord with your neigh- bor is not proof positive that you are right and he is wrong, nor is it any proof that your neighbor is insincere. If this were not true, then all smart men would belong to one party and all good men to one church. And if all belonged to one party and one church they would break up both party and church. Lord's Day Alliance. Rev. T. Albert Moore, Secretary of the Lord's Day Alliance is a busy man. Ho spoke in Teeswater on Sun- day morning, drove to Raffle's church, Turnberry and spoke in the after- noon ; preached in Wingham Metho- dist church in the evening, and ad- dressed a large audience in the Town Hall, after the conclusion of the ser- vices in the churches. Mr. Moore is an earnest, forcible speaker, and his address was listened to with great at- tention. The annual meeting of the Wingham Branch of the Alliance was held in the Presbyterian church on Tuesday evening. Rapid increase. As an instance of how rapidly a millionaire's wealth may increase without any effort on his part, the case of the recent rise in Standard Oil Co.'s stock may be cited. Owing to the present revolutionary troubles in Russia, the oil market becatne af- fected and the stock of the Standard Oil Co. advanced fifty per cent. in a few clays. As a result, John D. Rock - feller, who owns sixty per cent. of the stock, became even more wealthy than he was. In six days, the wealth of this millionaire increased sixteen million dollars by the rise in the value of the stock. To become immensely wealthy, there is nothing equal to getting in on the ground floor of a monopoly of an every day necessity. John D. Rockfeller lays every user of coal oil under tribute to increase his millions. When you want a pleasant physic try Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.

A pretty October wedding caused a flutter of excitement at the residence of Mr. Alex. Dey, Scott street, on Thanksgiving day, when his youngest daughter, Miss Jean, became the bride of Davis 13. Jerome of Hamilton. The bride was prettily attired in cream oolionno, trimmed with lace. Tho groom Was assisted by his brother, Charles, and the bride was assisted by Miss Nellie Murray, who was attired in pale pink organdie, trimmed with oriental lace. The ceremony was per- formed by Rev, D. Petrie, at 0. p, tn, Miss Annie Cowan of Blyth played the wedding march, and after the ceremony, Miss Jerome sang a solo with pleasing effect. Tho groom's present to the bride was a set of sable furs; other presents Were numerous and appropriate. The guests from a distance were --Misses Lily and Ray Dey of Zion City, Mrs. Wilcox of De- troit, Miss Ethel Jerome and Charles Jerome of Hamilton, The happy cou- ple left for their home in Ilamiltort on Monday, Social Evening, A successful social was held Thanks- giving day evening, under the auspi ccs of the Junior Epworth League. Rev, Dr, Gundy occupied the chair, and the program of music, recitations, dialogues, etc„ was well received. Re- freshments were then served and a pleasant social time enjoyed. The re- ceipts of the evening were about 320, The Junior League aro loyal in assist- ing the enterprises of the Church as far as is in their power. important Section. Shippers of fruit will do well to give heed to section 0 of the Fruit Marks Act, which reads as follows ;—No per- son shall sell or offer, expose, or have in his possession for sale any fruit packed in a close package, upon which package is marked any designation which represents such fruit as of No. I, or XXX, finest, best, or extra good quality, unless such fruit consists of well grown specirnens of one variety, sound, of nearly uniform size, of good color for the variety, of normal shape, and not less than ninety per cent. free from scab, worm holes, bruises, and other defects, and properly packed. It is surprising the snaps that the ladies are getting in dress goods and trimmings, at the Bankrupt Sale, Ritchie's old stand. At G. T. R. Station. •Lnprovements are progressing at the G. T. R. station. The £Fane of the newtat' s ten has been erected and the plan can be seen to a certain ex- tent. It will certainly be a great im- provement on the old structure. The foundation is of cement ; upon this there will be four feet of briek work, the rest will be weather -boarded. It will have abundance of light, and there will be conveniences that had no place in the former building. The inside will be wainscotted four feet high with oak and finished in Georgia pine. Unless the weather keeps fine, there will be many cold fingers yet, before the whole work is completed. Waterworks Extension. There is, as yet, no signs of the ar- rival of the steel Standpipe but other parts of the work are progressing. Mr. Green has made good progress with the flume, considering the diffi- culties he has met with. In some places, he has had to cut through two or three feet of old slabs, as sound as ever they were, buried from six to ten feet below the surface. He has about three-fourths of the cement work completed, and is now working at the mouth of the flume and hopes to com- plete the whole work in about two weeks. He is also building two new cement abutments to keep the apron of the clan in position. Five of the abutments built a few years ago, will be emptied of stone to the depth of ten feet and then filled with cement. Upon these abutments, the new Town bridge will be erected.

Word was received last week of the death of Mr. Fred. Sheppard, eldest son of the late Alis Raby, andform- erly f rrn- erly a resident of Wingham. His home was in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and last spring he contracted a severe cold, from whieh tubercolosis develop- ed. After Mrs. Baby's death, Miss Laura Sheppard, who had been wait- ing upon her mother, went to her sick brother's bedside to attend him. He was advised to try a warmer climate, and was taken to Los Angeles, where ire died, October 20, about a week after his arrival. He leaves a widow and one child. Mr. Sheppard was a trained nurse, so is Mrs. Sheppard, and his sister, Miss Laura, is Superintendent of Los Angeles Hospital, so that the deceas- ed had the best of care during his ill- ness. Married in Winnipeg. The Winnipeg Free Press of Wed- nesday, October 18th, has the follow- ing :—"Miss Hannah Ingram, of Wingham, Ont., and Miss Minnie Bennett, of Walton, Ont., arrived in the city together a few days ago, and were the same day united in marriage to two well-known young men of this province. Miss Ingram was married to Win. John Hawthorne, of Walskal- da, Manitoba, and Miss .Bennett to Samuel McSpadden, of Iloissevaln, Tho double ceremony was perforated by the Rev. Donald Munro, minister of Point Douglas church, a number of local friends of the various contract- ing parties being present to witness the joyous event. Mr. and Mrs. Hatw- titorne left yesterday morning for `Vaskada and Mr. and Mrs.:ilc.Spad- den for Bohssevain, • where they will in future make their home. All of the participants in the weddings have numerous friends in the city and throughout the west, who will be pleased to learn of the occurrence of the marriages." Mrs. McSpadden is it niece of Mr. S. Bennett of Winghimi, and Mrs. Hawthorne formerly resided en Scott street, Wingliam, DIB, OVENS, of London, Surgeon, flts glasses properly.

Hours 1.45 to 0. 2, 1905, 31.00 PER YEA IN ADVANCE A DISASTROUS FIRE The Corner Block, Owned by W. P. VanStone, Destroyed. On Tuesday afternoon, the alarm of fire summoned the firemen to duty at tho W. F. VanStone block, formerly known as the Button block, The fire seems to have originated near the stovepipe of one of the tenants of the rooms up -stairs, for it seemed to be un- der the roof over the apartments oc- cupied by Mrs. Aley. The firemen cut a hole in the roof, and soon bad it under control. It is feared, however, that fire still smouldered there, al- though before retiring to rest, Mr. Swanson made an examination, and could see no sign of danger. How- ever, soon after five o'clock the next morning, the whole block was ablaze. It was occupied downstairs by Mrs. Aley, Milliner, L. G. Kruse, grocer, and W. F. VanStone, office. Up- stairs, five families resided, Mrs. Aley, L. Bisbee, 0. Swanson, T, Fells and Mrs. McLean. The fire had gained such headway, that nothing was sav- ed, the tenants barely escaping with their lives. Mr. Fells was awakened by smoke and found the room on fire. His wife and children were hurried out in their night clothes. Mr. Swan- son let Mrs. Swanson down as far as he could from the window, and let her drop, and then jumped out of the window himself. Mrs. McLean was absent at the time. The tenants lost everything, even their clothing, in fact nothing was saved in the entire Klock. A high wind was blowing at the time, and it was feared that the Sne residence of R. Clegg, and the stores of Messrs. Lamonby and Pattison would fall victims to the flames, which raged fiercely. The firemen were promptly on hand, and soon had several streams playing on the build- ing. Fortunately, they were able to confine the ravages of the fire to the block. They made heroic efforts, and worked hard amid storm and cold, some of them drenched to the skin. A plentiful supply of water and persis- tent work prevented other buildings from taking fire. The firemen deserve great credit for their prompt arrival and faithful work. Chief Vannorman looked all round the building at 1.30 a. nn. and there was no sign of fire, Night-watchman Guest, on his way home at 4 a.m., saw nothing wrong. Soon after five the building was in flames. At time of writing it is difficult to get the exact loss, but it will probably total over $12,000, less the insurances. So far as can be ascertained, the figures are as follows :— W. F. VanStone, building and office furniture, etc., loss $6000; insurance, $3,250. Mrs. Aley, furniture, piano and millinery stock, $2000 ; insurance, $1000. L. G. Kruse, grocery stock, $2000 ; insurance, $1500. C. Swanson, household goods, 3000 ; no insurance. L. Bisbee, household goods, $500 ; no insurance. Mrs. McLean, furniture and piano, $800 ; insurance, $350. T. Fells, household goods, $600; insur- ance, $300. Mr. Kruse lost his entire stock ; even his books were not secured. He has been unfortunate, this being the third time he has suffered loss by fire since corning to Wingham. It is said that besides her stock of millinery and household goods, Mrs. Aley lost $100 in cash in the fire. The block cannot be rebuilt this year. "EAST LYNNE." One of the ringing successes in emo- tional drama is announced for the Town Hall, Wingham, for Friday evening, November 10th, when the ever popular "East Lynne," the play made fatuous by the late Ada Gray, will be produced by the Raymond and Poore company. The Kalaanatzoo, Mich„ Daily Gazette of Sept. 26, 1905, says :—"There has been no theatrical performance given in Kalamazoo for several seasons that has met with so few unfavorable criticisms as has Ray- mond and Poore's beautiful produc- tion of "East Lynne," which was giv- en in the Academy of Music last even- ing, to a good house. Take the com- pany as a whole, it was one of the most evenly balanced seer in this city for some time. The n t sic furnished by the orchestra was a rare treat.
