turnips were not only a poor crop, but
very poor quality, and lie questioned
if they would keep till spring, and as
for table use any he had tried were
worthless.

Recovering.
The Advance is pleased to report
that our former young townsman, Ed.
Braulvin, is recovering from the at-
tack of typhoid fever, which necessi-
tated his leaving his work in the Tem-
iscaming district and travelling many
hundred miles to reach Toronto hos-
pital. Travelling is sometimes tedious
when a person is well, but to travel
over a thousand miles when you are
sick, is no holiday trip by any means.
Ed's Wingham friends will be pleased
to hear he is improving.
FOR SALE.—Lot 18, con. 7, Turn -
berry, one hundred acres, nearly all
cleared ; in grass many years ; good

Appointed To Markdale.

ell of Turnberry, has been appointed
by the Bishop of Huron to the incum-
bency of Christ Church, Markdale,
until his ordination in the spring.
His leaving Huron College was the
occasion of a midnight supper in his
honor on Friday night last, in the
dormitories of the College. .After a
number of toasts and responses, three
hearty cheers were given for the guest
of the evening. Auld Lang Syne was
then sung and the happy company
dispersed.
Certainly, Why Not ?
The Walkerton Telescope remarks
thus :—A gentleman who was sending
a parcel by post from Walkerton to
Formosa, the other day, was surprised
to learn that for the same postage he
could have sent it to Vancouver, a
place three thousand miles away, and
on thinking the matter over, arrived
at the conclusion that the law in this
regard requires amending. The ex-
press companies, in fixing their char-
ges, take distance into account, and
why should not the post -office do the
same thing?

Successfully Managed.
The Oshawa Vindicator pays a
former young resident of Wingham,
the following compliment.—"Mr. J. C.
Reading,who has so successfully
1 y
managed the Union Life Insurance
business in Oshawa for the past eight
months, has gone to London where he
has been promoted as superintendent.
Mr. Reading carries with him the best
wishes of a large circle of friends in
Oshawa, where he will be greatly
missed." The Advance is pleased to
hear of the success of our former
townsman, who is the son of Mr. 0..7.
Reading, of Patrick street.
Wedding in Huilett.
A. quiet but pretty wedding took
place on Wednesday, Nov. 22nd, at
the home of Mr. Jars. Caldwell of Hal-
lett, when his slaughter, Ella, was
united in the bonds of matrimony to
Mr. Isaac Quinn of East Wawanosh.
The ceremony, which took place at
twelve, noon, was performed. by Rev.
Mi. Leckie of Londesboro'. The bride,
who was gowned in an exquisite dress
of white silk, entered the parlor lean-
ing on her father's arm, to the strains
of Mendelssohn's wedding march
played by Miss Minnie Nethery of
East Wawanosh, cousin of the groom.
After the ceremony, during the sign-
ing of the register, Miss Nethery sang
that beautiful sacred solo, "One
Sweetly Solemn Thought," after
which the bridal party repaired to the
dining room, where it sumptuous de-
jeuner was served. The presents,
Which were numerous and costly;
showed the esteem in which the young
couple are held. Mr. and Mrs. Quinn
left on the 3.50 train for Niagara, Ot-
tawa and other points, renewed by
the good wishes of many friends.

Now In Possession,
By the time this issue is in the
hands of our readers, the transfer of
the hardware business of 13, Gerry to
Messrs, Bishop & Brewer will have
been completed. The Advance ex-
tends a welcome to these gentlemen
and trusts that their new business lo-
cation will be found satisfactory and
pleasant from bothflnanciaal and social
standpoints.
Armed Italians.
A news despatch from Guelph re-
ports trouble on the Guelph-Goderich
railway litre, and says :—Guelph chief
police office looks something like a
small arsenal, with ten knives, alt
over regulation size, five loaded re-
volvers, four shotguns, three loaded,
all taken from a car. It seems there
has been trouble between the Italians
on the section between Guelph and
Weissenburg, probably on account of
some of the men being graded from
$1.75 to $1.50 a day, and they threat-
ened violence on the foreman. J. G.
Macklin, divisional engineer of the
Guelph and Goderich Railway, seeing
the gloomy look of affairs, carne to
Guelph Tuesday afternoon and asked
for police intervention. Chief Ran-
dall and two constables went up and
disarmed three gangs of thirty men
each. Several arrests are being made
and an investigation will follow.
We are just after adding a lot of
new groceries to our stock, which we
intend selling at about cost prices ;
get our figures on them before buying
elsewhere.—Ritchie's old stand.
Hockey Club Concert.
A successful concert was held on
Friday evening last, under the aus-
pices of the Hockey Club. The pro-
gramme was furnished by home tal-
ent and was well received. Music by
the Band, a piano duett by Misses Orr
and Linklater, a solo by G. W. Cline,
guitar solos by W. Galloway, special-
ties by H. H, Wightman, dancing by
Miss McDonaalcl and J. Madigan, solos
by Miss Pearl Duncan, and several
tableaus, made up the evening's en-
tertainment. Miss Norma Dinsley
was accompanist. The attendance
was encouraging, and we understand
that the boys have $40 remaining af-
ter deduction of expenses. This will
give thein a start financially on the
conning season and assist in purchas-
ing snits, etc. We are informed that
they do not intend appealing to the
hotels or private citizens for funds,
hence any effort they make to raise
the necessary cash to give them means
to meet expenses should be well patro-
nized by the citizens.
Seasonable Hints.
Implements not already stored
should be brought up from the fields
and gone over carefully, and note
taken of any repairs needed, or any
missing parts. A little coal oil on the
castings will help to prevent rust, and
not only prolong the usefulness of the
machine, but render it more service-
able for next year. The wise na,n
will not require the caution to use bits
of board to keep the wheels or other
part off the ground, when necessary
to store them on an earth floor; neith-
er will he need to be told to keep the
salt barrel away from the plane where
iron tools and implements are kept.
Such little attentions characterize the
methods of the thrifty farmer: In
storing things away, do not forget
that the plow, barrows, and drill will
be required before the mower and
binder. Some people put thing away
in the order in which they finish with
them, and some in whatever order
they happen to be brought to the
barn. Alittle thought in the arrange-
ment of things will save considerable
time, work, and, perhaps, some pro-
faulty, next spring.
FOR SALE.—In Wingham, a good
brick residence, eight rooms, bath,
electric lighted, modern conveniences,

ble property. Terms reasonable and

Municipal Nominations.
Municipal nominations this year
will be held on Friday, December 22,
instead of as usual on the last Monday
in the month, which this year hap-
pens to be Christmas Day. The
statute provides that when the last
Monday in the month is Christmas,
nominations shall take place the pre -
needing Friday, but election day will
be on Monday just the sante, although
it is New Year's Day.
The Cattle Trade.
The editor of this paper meet a friend
at Palmerston recently, who is in the
cattle business and he says that this
has been an unfortunate year for deal-
ers and many will lose money. He
said, that for himself, he had made
nothing in his season's business.
Many of the cattle were bought a
year ago at be a pound that are being
sold now at 4 cents, and some at even
a lower figure. The reason for the
depression in price is not quite appar-
ent, but no doubt the rush of western
cattle to the market has something to
do in that respect. The Ontario far-
mer cannot compete with the western
ranch
men in producing cheap beef.
Then cattle from other countries are
displacing ours in the British market.

Waterworks Extension.
W. H. Green, inspector of water -
main -laying contract has examined
the work and recommended that Arm-
strong & Lewis, the contractors, be
paid. Tho work hegan un Patrick
street, at the corner of Frances street,
along Patrick to Catharine street,
thence by way of Catharine to John
street ; up that street to the Stand-
pipe site, down John street to Frances,
along Frances to Victoria, and down
this street to connect with the main
near the Union factory. There are in
all 3226 feet of new mains. Mayor
Bell is in receipt of a letter from Hun-
ter Bros. of Kincardine, stating that
the steel plates for the Stand -pipe i
were on hand and they expect to coni- I
nnence its erection about December 1
lst, and hope to complete it at the
specified time, December 15th, The
Stand -pipe will be eighty feet in
height, eighteen feet in diameter,
abort fifty-five feet in circumference,
and the plates will vary in thickness
from five-eighths of an inch at the
base, to one-quarter of an inch nt the
top. The Executive committee of the
Council have sent word to the Engi-
neer at Berlin to go to Kincardine nt
once and inspect the steel plates in-
tended to he put in the Stand -pipe,
which will be brought here all ready
to bolt together. On Tuesday, Mr.
Green was completing the connection
of the new cement flume with the
power house, and the representative
of the Advance had the opportunity
of . entering the flume. The work
seems to bo well clone, and the cement
is getting as hard as stone. It should
fill the bill for a waterway ; lir. Green
is certainly sparing neither work nor
expense in doing the work well.

Invited And Accepted.
About two weeks ago, the Quarterly
Official Board of Wingham Methodist
Church extended a unanimous invita-
tion to Rev. W. G. Howson, of Mit-
chell, to become their pastor at the
next meeting of the London Confer-
ence. After due consideration, Mr.
Howson has decided to accept the in-
vitation (subject to the decision of the
Stationing committee) and on Monday
evening last tendered the Mitchell
Official Board, his resignation. While
regretting their pastor's decision to
leave, Mitchell Methodists will wish
him success. As a speaker, Mr. How-
son has few equals in the London Con-
ference, and his record as an earnest,
devoted and spiritually -minded pastor
is excellent, Should the Conference
sanction the arrangement, Mr. How-
son will find a good field of labor in
Winghatn, where, we trust he will be
abundantly successful. We under-
stand that Rev. Dr. Gundy has an in-
vitation to an important charge out-
side this Conference but as yet has not
decided to
accept the invitation.
n.
Coal Gas Did it.
The escape of coal gas from a cook-
ing range nearly caused fatal results
to Mrs. Bloonifield's family on Thurs-
day night last. On going to bed,
fresh coal had been put into the
range, and without waiting for the
gas to pass off, the checks were closed,
and a small lid on the stove opened
as is frequently done to further check
the draft. Mrs. Bloomfield, sen., sleeps
downstairs, and her bedroom door be-
ing closed, she did not notice the gas
escaping. Mrs. Bloomfield, jun., and
four children sleep up -stairs, and the
stairway door being open, they were
the sufferers. On awaking in the
morning, Mrs. Bloomfield, jun., found
herself and four children very sick,
and scarcely able to move. Neighbors
were summoned, and a physician call-
ed, when it was discovered that coal
gas was the cause of the trouble. The
victims vomited considerably, and
Mrs. Bloomfield felt the effects for
several days. A little while longer,
and the results might have been even
more serious, perhaps fatal. Mrs.
Bloomfield appreciates the kindness
and aid rendered the family by the
neighbors, during the exciting time.
Your attention cannot be called too
often to the quality of goods that we

tired travelling through the bush, It
is Maid that the doctor, being very
fond of fishing, went down to the edge
of a little hike, where there was n
Antall isblfld a few yards from the
shore. He crossed over in a canoe and
tried his luck with hook ancn line, and
to his astonishment he very soon
caught as monstrous fish. Not being
able to draw it to shore, he concluded
to do the lino to a small go tree and
for his comrades to help haul in the
fish, On returning the next morning,
to his great surprise, he found the Ilsh
had. swath away, taking the island
along with it. There being a strong
wind blowing from land, no doubt
that assisted the fish considerably,

sented signed by 155 ratepayers, ask-
ing that a local option by-law be sub-

apply Mrs. Barrett, Frances street.
At St. Paul's Church.
Rev. T. S. Boyle, M.A., B. D., began
his labors in Wingham as Rector of
St. Paul's Church on Sunday last.
The day was fine ; the congregations
large and attentive. Mr. Boyle has a
pleasing manner, a clear enunciation,
and enters on his work apparently
with energy and devotion. The mem-
bers of the congregation are favorably
impressed with their new Rector, and,
on the other hand, Mr. Boyle is pleased.
with Wingham, the neat church pro-
perty, the efficiency of the Choir, and
the cordiality of his reception by those
to whom he will minister.
In the morning Mr. Boyle chose as
his text a mast appropriate passage—
I Cot'. 2:2—"For I determined to know
nothing among you, save Jesus Christ
and Him crucified." He said (in sub-
stance) that changes must and will
take place, and yet if we compare the
condition of humanity now with that
of two thousand years ago, we find
that much the same conditions of
thought, motion and feeling prevail as
did in years past. The speaker re-
viewed and contrasted the -visits of
Paul the Apostle to Athens and Co-
rinth, noting especially his object in
preaching to the Corinthians, as indi-
cated by the resolution of the text.
The power of a Christian minister did
not lie in eloquence ; that is only se-
condary in importance. Happy will
he be who approaches his congregation
Sunday after Sunday, telling them in
simple language of Christ and Him
crucified. It is not so much in the
minister and the social powers with
which he is gifted, as in bringing
home to each heart the communion
and fellowship of God with His people.
It is the message he bears, more than
in the minister's gifts or eloquence.
Mr. Boyle then digressed from the
text to point out some practical rela-
tions that should exist between pastor
and people. The minister must snake
no distinctions ; he is the minister of
all—to the poor and lowly as well as
to the high and wealthy—all are on
the same footing in the Church of
God, The minister is the representa-
tive of all. He had come at the unani-
mous wish of the congregation, and it
was his determination to make no
changes in the services only as desired
by the congregation. No two men
men can work alike ; his work might
not be done in the same way as his
able predecessor had done his, but he
asked them not to judge from the first
sermon or the first few weeks, but to
exercise forbearauee and withhold
judgment until he became, as it were,
acclimatized to the new conditions.
Mr. Boyle expressed the hope that the
work would grow, and that God
would help hint in the practiced work
of the parish. Should differences of
opinion arise, he hoped all would be
found united with one heart and soul,
in faith, hope and charity, with one
heart rind voice to praise and honor
God.
In the evening, the Rector chose as
his text, Psalm 44, first and last verses
—"We have heard with our ears and
our fathers have told ns the works
that Thou didst in their days, in titnes
of old. Arise for out help and redeem
us for thy mercy's sake."
The Rector remarked that these
words were probably written by Ne-
hemiah just before the Babylonian
captivity, while chaos and disorder
reigned and the people Were returning
to their idolatrous ways. There were
however, noble spirits who looked for-
ward to bet er do ys, basing
their
hopes upon the past and what (god
had done for their forefathers. Mixed
as the Jews are today, an)ong other
nations, they have not forgotten their
loyalty to God and His promise to
restore them to their own land. The
Litany was written just in such a
troublous time, close upon the break-
ing up of the Roman empire. The
Litany was written as a special peace
prayer. Life and property were then
unsafe, and it seemed as if a return to
Babylon was imminent. Commerce
was at a standstill, learning obliterat-
ed, everything seetned in chaos and
disorder, but they looked for brighter
titles and a1 prayer broke forth in the .
I words of the text. Although the
prayer was apparently unanswered,
for a time, the Roman empire was at
last completely destroyed and out of
it came the civilization which we en.

Mr. Boyle referred to changes and
related that since coming to Wing -
ham, a man had told him that he had
worshipped with this congregation in
a log shanty thirty years ago, and as
he looked aroud. at this beautiful
church, he could not help thinking of
the text.
The Rector remarked that as the
Jews were a chosen people, so Eng-
land has been a chosen nation. God's
guiding, controlling hand had been
manifested in her history, She can-
not stand. alone. God grant that she
may not forget that she has a work to
do. Let us pray that she may ever
bear forth among the nations the
Cross of Christ, which means so much
to the world, and she will then be the
greatest of all nations to the end of
time.
