President Barrett and Secretary Hom- uth of the citizens' baud interviewed the council urging the necessity of the town erecting a band stand for the use of the band during the summer months. Play- iug on the dainp grass in the evenings' was not satisfactory, neither for the l members of the baud nor for the specta- tors. A plan of a very commodious struc- ture was submitted, the estimated cost of was placed at $140. The matter was laid over until next meeting. A deputation of the retail merchants, composed of Messrs. D. M. Gordou, J. Galbraith and R. H. Crowder, waited ou the council asku.g that the by-law fixing the transient traders' license fee increased.

Bell, the town clerk was instructed to enter an appeal against the assessment. The dangerous condition of the old building on Victoria street, next to Mr. Cummings' property, was again brought to the attention of the Council. The Chief will interview the owner and have something done in the matter. A communication was received from Dr. Macdonald, M. P., in reply to au en- quiry as to whether the Railway Com- mission had power to deal with the ques- tion of the opening of the town streets across the railway property. The Com- mission has the power to deal with the matter, and on motion of Couns. Greer and Holmes, a resolution was passed deeming it advisable to have Shuter and Frances streets opened across the Grand Trunk Railway Company's property, and that action be taken in regard to same. A. communication from Mr. J. W. Duncan, bandmaster, asking for an in- crease of $50.00 a year in salary, was laid over until next meeting. Mr. George McKenzie wrote the Coun- cil regarding right of way across town property adjoining the hose tower. The matter was left in the hands of the Ex- ecutive. The secretary of the Wingham Base- ball Club wrote asking for the privilege of enclosing the town park on days when visiting teams come here to play, for the purpose of charging an admission fee. The clerk was instructed to answer the communication, that that matter is iu the hands of the Executive Committee. The report of the Executive Commit- tee re electric lighting showed that since the town took over the plant np to April 30th, the revenue amounted to $2657.18, and the expenditure $2010.34, leaving a balance of $646.84. The re- port also stated that the purchasing and keeping in stock of electric supplies and fixtures was rather a troublesome matter, and it was thought that it would be bet- ter to have the supplies kept and wiring, eta., done by a private party.

Mr. Archy Campbell, of the 1st line a been o fin thehousefor some has ee c u ed to 0 days through illnessbut is now able to be round again. E. House, V. S., of At wood was call- ing on his cousin, Mrs. J, D. McEwen one day last week. One of the abutments at the 4th line bridge over the Maitland was sltgh tly damaged by the spring freshet, The bridge at the Stone School o house suffered worse but on the whole Morris came off very well when the great depth of snow last winter is considered and the dam' age that might have been. Miss Mary Irwin, of Shanghai, China. who has speut 12 years in that most in- teresting of land's under the America Woman's Uuion Board of Missions, is here on furlough, and is now visiting her sister, Mrs, W. H. Ferguson, 6t1., line. She has many an iuterestiug story to tell of her work. Misses Elizabeth and• Grace Irwiu, sisters of Miss Mary are also in China, the latter workiug under the great and a idely known Hudson 1 Taylor. The grim reaper visited the pleasant home of Henry W. Allen, Huilets, ori Sunday night, .April 7th, when Mr. Allen was taken from amouest us. That even, ing the family had some friends in for supper, when Mr. Allen, always a splen- did host. was at his brightest and best. Immediately after partaking of the meal, the family and friends adjourned to the barn to attend to the milking and the nsnal chores of farui life. He was speak- ing to one of the ueighbors, when a son noted him snaking a futile attempt to rise from some hay at his feet. Mr. Allen declared there was nothing wrong with him and that he could walk. How- ever he was lifted into a buggy and taken to the house where all measnres were taken for his relief and a doctor sum- moned from Blyth, who responded in au increditably short timo,but as soon as he saw his patient, declared there was no help as paralysis had seized him and he passed away on the morning of April 19th. Mr. Allen was bora near Smith's Falls, Lanark County, G7 years ago, coming, when a boy, with his parents to Hallett. He possessed a constitution for hardiness and endurance, granted to very few. Eminently big-hearted and generous, he was always in his element when entertaining his friends. His keen, bright wit, and ability to say the right word at the right minute, made him a pleasant and entertaining cornpan- I ion, the life of any gathering, a lover of ' peace, always incliued to throw oil on 1 troubled waters, and glad to oblige or assist a neighbor in distress. Deceased was a brother of Mrs. Robt. Warwick of this township. THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1904. NOTES AND COMMENTS. British r Replying to a question iu the House of Commons, Hon. Alfred Lyttel- ton stated that the number of immi- grants reported to have declared their intention of settling in Canada during the year ended, June 30, 1904 were English and Welsh, 32,510; Scotch, 7,046; Irish, 2,236; Galiciaus, 1.041; Germans, 1,887: Hungarians, 2,155; Austrians, 720; Scaudivavians, 5,440; French and Belgians, 1,240; Russians, and Finns, 7,277; miscellaneous, 8,152. The custom revenue for the Domin- ion for the teat months ending April 30th wan $313,377,039, an increase of $3,388,377 over the same time last year. There was a small decrease in the revenue for the month, probably caused by the late- ness of navigation and the backward season. This is the first decrease in several years. The growth of the ens - toms revenue since 1S97 has been steady, and continuous. The next two months will make up any deficiency which has been caused daring April. $ .80 4.21 .63 34 44 567 1000 42.00 Huok & Ladder Co., services 5.00 W. Sheridan, labor streets 1.83 J.

Pointed Paragraphs. From the Chicago News. Few meu can argue about religion and keep cool. One way to dodge the divorce court is to stay single. A man is never satified until he attends his own funeral. A spoiled child is almost as bad as one that is too fresh. After buying experience a man seldom boasts of his bargain. Yen can easily make a man hot by rubbing him the wrong way. Death is one thing that never fails to come to the man that waits. The man who squanders $2 for a mar- riage license is looking for trouble. Too many people are anxious to fur- nish a cause regardless to the effect. No true Kentuckia . will take his morning rye in the form of breakfast ! food. There's something. radically wrong about a woman who isn't fond of dress , parade. Many a man who marries an heiress lives to regret monkeying with a get- ; rich quick game. 1 I We can't pronounce the Russian de - I finition for war, but it's synonymous 1 with Sherman's definition.
