The "oldest inhabitant" has been trying but in vain tot recall to recol- lection -such ecol-lection-such March weather as Ontar- iohas had for the past fortnight. Tho sun has shone genially in an al- most daily cloudless sky, the roads are dusty, the farmers seeding and the automobiles are abroad in the land. This • is not a news item for the people of 'Huron but it is for the information of The News-Rec-• ord's numerous readers in the West who may be guessing how the bar - per Province is faring this spring in the matter of weather. . A MUSICAL TREAT. Lovers of music who attend the entertainment to be given in the town hall on Tuesday evening next by the Balmoral Company, under.. the aus- pices of the Women•'s Guild .of Willis church, are assured of. a rich treat.

A der At the a t conclusion h;.merrtada candy was served and a peasant hour:spent in social con - c. arse. A silver: collection was tak- en. The pastor • will occupy .the pulpit on u S nda next and nd t at the : Vfi ' y e Hing service will take for tiffs, subtest.: '"Aeh"other . worlds' inhabited ? .Where is Heaven?'' DR. SAMPSON'S ,AbDRESS. *Dr. Sampson of •.Windsor, Ioeturer in -chief on Government Annuities, de- livered an instructive address; which was listened 'to with •'much . interest, in the town hall on Tuesday'Levening. The -Annuities are provided accord- ing t� are Act' paseekd by the. Dominion Parliament.' • They are not Pensio'is. The. Government does' not :pay an al- lowance out of the. treasury to old. people. But 'the 'Government con- tracts to take deposits from any per- son at any age and convert them in- to annuities payable at such an age as the applicants desire. The same thing .is, done by insurance companies, butthe following' aro the, advantages of the , Government plan for persons with'mode to raemeans: • The whole wealth and credit of the nation is behind the contract. All the cost of securing subscribers, of administering funds, and carrying on the business, is borne by the Gov- ernment, and the investor escapes this charge,. The Government pays .four per cont. compound interest on all the pre- miums or: investments, fixing ,the ane unities on that basis, and, in case of death before the annuity period, re- turns the 'amounts paid with three per cent. interest. There is the largest conceivable lib- erty allowed as to the amounts, meth- ode ethods and intervals of payment, and as. to the time when annuities aro due. There are no forfeitures, no penalti- es, no lapses. Whether payments are large or small, regular or variable, the final adjustment is made on the basis of the agreement, the returns, of course, corresponding to the ac- tual ,amount paid. ' The investment is fres front all claims, creditors and incumbrances. It is an actual and certain net in- come. To give the above advantages the system involves a Considerable Gov- erntent. outlay, in the cast of man- agement and promotion, and in an in- terest charge rather larger than the, Governments pays on its other bor- rowings. This represents the Govern. nient contribution inwards tl scheme for the general benefl't.The idea is not inve'stnent but,irrot�'eetion . These annuities are intended for these of moderate, means, and do not provide more than a. sum required to ,provide the annuitant with the eece,saries of lifer, The, largest annuity +hat can be bought is $000 a year. Those who wish to be sure of an income of from $50 to $600 a year can make their arrangements with the Goverment, Which is looking for no profit, and tis ............. taking no pay; for transacting the business. BAPTIST CIiURCH. Rev. T. W. Charlesworth has rhos. en for bis subjects for next Sunday as follows : morning, "In the Spirit on the Lord's Day" ; evening, "Re- tribution."
