Many very handsome gifts were included in the "shower" and .a jolly time was spent by the girls. i • VOTE FOR PROGRESS. A meeting of citizens was held in the town •hall on Tuesday evening to discuss the Good. Roads and Electric Light bylaws. Mayor Taylor presid- ed and said in part : 4We have spent thousrnets on our roads and. have nothing to show for it. We are no further ahead than we were thirty years ago. The old system is too expensive. It is time for a change. We also spent thousands on our -cem- ent walks, but though they were per- haps expensive at the 'stY vt who would go back to the plank Walk again. I am also in favor of the Electric Light bylaw. . Reeve Smyth : I am now practical- ly oct of business but i am just as keen as ever for Good Road's . for I belie:e that. every • man and woman in town 'will reap a benefit . there- from. Self preservation bids us, keep the streets leading in from the coun- try a t y n i good shape. We want the: trade of our farmer friends for many miles around and by building.. good roads we will express in macadam our desire to do business with them". As a member of the street conuidt- tee of the council I rear say that we doo not propose to begin work on front street until wehave first built: the roads leading into the townships, Councillor Paisley -: I am in favor of rte Good Roads bylaw because I think a change in the system of ex- penditure on our street.necessary in the interest of .economy and for the general welfare of, the town. For years poor gravel has been placed upon our streets onlyto bescraped off thenext season. As a conse- quence while thousands of dollars have been spent in this .way, the s reets have been going from bad .to worse. We are now spending about $1000 yearly on or streets ; If we carry this bylaw and build macadam roads the interest and sinking fund • each year • would amount to $750. Good Roads will, therefore, not cost rs any more,. if notless, than - we are now spendingon roads which are a disgrace . to the ''town. I would like to. we • the bylaw carried by a good majority on Monday next.. • Councillor Cooper :. .Good Roads are a payingproposition from every. standpoint. They will .save in wear rad tear of 'horseflesh and vehicles-: rs.•.an instance, take the grocersane their 'deliver`` wagons. They will re- c;uce our annual expenditure on roads ad show to our farmer friends that we want their. trade.. But' I s am not ; n favor 'of the Electric Light bylaw. • 1 object to the Company being able amello• .io charge 12 cents .per. 1000 ki110- ORDERED Wats.

Come in and have a look around, THE MORRISH ELOTHING CO. "A Square Deal for Every Man" street will not be properly lighted. by incandescents.

E1- ectric Light and Waterworks . should. berntogether, n for' the peopleand,. by the people. Councillor Gibbings : • The Good •Roads bylaw is all right and I hope it will carry; When we start to build the roads let',s secure the services of a man experienced in macadam con- struction. I am not in laver of Mun- icipal ownership for I don't believe it is a success in towns of less • than 3000. The Electric Liglit bylaw vias the . best bargain we could make with the Company. ' Dr. Shaw :' Our streets•are . in an abominable' condition . and I would like to see a unanimous vote on: the bylaw next Monday. •. In my • trip south • recently I found that. Good . Roads was everywhere the question and people who have a modern sys- tem pointed to it with pride, The roads are. well drained and were built by experts. I am also in favor of the Electric Light bylaw. The Company givee us good service and an incandescent systeni such as "is' proposed is the most modern. Municipal ownership is not a success Torthere are too many looking for positions and who cannot be got rid of when their usefulness is gone. ;• Dr. Thompson: I am a supporter of the Good Roads bylaw because better roads are a necessity, but 1 will not vote for the Electric Light bylaw because 1 believe the lighting and waterworks system" should bo operated together and a savingthus effected in both. This is the advice we, rea'elve from almost every town . which has a waterworks plant. Ex -Mayor J...13. Hoover : We have been drawing gravel on to our roads and drawing it off, There has been nothing permanent, nothing which ex tended beyond the year. There has thus been a large expenditure and nothing to show for it. Our streets should all be in good condition, es- pecially those leading lin front the country, and it will pay well in the long build run to b d a modernsystem st em y of macadam, so that I hope this by- law will carry next Monday. Our lighting system' is obsolete ; much. of the light from the arcs is lost ; the incandescent system is the ideal, The proposed. contract with the Electric Light Company is all right, `"i At the reque; it of Mayor Taylor, Rev. J. Greene closed the meeting With benediction, THE SALVATION ARMY. Next Sunday's subjects at the S. A. hall will he as follows : 11 a. m., "Two Kind of Trees"' ; g p. m., "Fourteen Nights in Danger" ; 7 p. w., "The King's Opinion. You are cordially invited.

Jollitfe in the presence of a few intimatere- latives and the. newly wedded pair left the same afternoon for Detroit, The bride has been a popular young lady in town and will be much mis- sed in many circles ; the groom is al- so well known here. The News -Rec- ord joins the many friends of the young couple in good wishes for hap- piness and. prosperity. ODDFELLOWS AT CHURCH. • The Oddfellows attended service in St. Paul's church en: Sunday morning Last when the annual sermon was preached by the rector, Rev, 0, ' R. Gonne. The service, which was chor- al, was specially arranged 'for. the • convenience of :the visiting brethern, the hymns being printed on sheets for distribution and prayer books with suitable indexes provided, The choir, as usual,rendered the music in . ex- cellent form and the . congregational singing of the hymns was most not- iceable. T offertory off r a to p, enthem was, "Give. Peace in Our Time, 0 Lord," the solo part being . taken by. Miss. Gladys Herman. • Miss Bentley,. the organist, had the assistance of Mr, Phelan, the strains of whose violin added much to the instrumental part of the musks. • The rector took his -text from 1st Tim; 5.8: "But if any mean . 'provide not for his own, and; especially • for those of his ownhouse, he hath de- nied the faith and is worse• .than an infidel.'' After, Welcoming the lodge to. the , sexvzces..:of•.P.xaise,and•..Thaeks- giving the rector dwelt upon the fatherhood .of God and the brother - hoed of man ; the unity ' . of the whole ' world • as one faniily, and pointed out. how Christianity. had set the seal bf truth upon the child -like re- lation of man to God and the broth- erly relation of man to man. The 'general law, however, was like all generalizations, subject to modifica- tion, tion, sand • hence • societies,, like the family. and: the.brotherhood, were called into •existance' where syrf pathy and love had their • supreme manifes- tation. When Cnniot game into the world humanity Was redeemed and. •e -c nst.ruc d t o to with h th e everiastin g God everywhere . and the Lord' Jesuv as •the centre Of our , potent brother-. hood', bound, together by • the golden ties of: Faith, Love and Truth,. This great brothefihood • constit te .„ , the Church universal' of .every, eintry, race and language upon earth. Suit- able smaller brotherhoods, such as the. •I.O.O,F,,have from time to time been nailed . into existance 'to emphasize the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. When the Church is faithful to her duty she will swatter helpful infiuonces im all directions. So. it is' that in friend ly societies where the greatest stress is laid upon kindly acts of love and devotion, the teaching of Christian- ity is .bearing fruit. Such societies, then, instead of being opposed to Christian principles, aro' in a • very practical . manner carrying them out. Societies which teach mento pro- vide in a suitable manner for the. emergencies of life and for the future, that •they of their own house may not be Ieft to the eold charity of others, ,•are without controversy' in perfect harmony with the .apostle's teaching, If Christians do, not make such provision they have denied the faith ' and are, worse than infidels. The term "infidel” in the text is used in its literal and etymological sense of one without belief in God. It has none of the opprobrium, which in conmion language attaches to ft today. 'Perhaps a better rendering would bo "unbeliever." . It is a well known fact that' an unbeliever, many a ono who never knew .the true God, who never hoard the gospel of Testis Christ, yet made ample provision for the dear ones they might leavo be- hind them, The worst man then is not the infidel, but the worst roan is the sinful man, who, in spite of his professed Christianity, is immoral, intemperate and improvident, It mate' tors not what creed such a irian,may profess, it matters not under what ecclesiastical banner he may range himself, ho is not, faithful to , his profession—on the contrary he is an injury to society, a destroyer of good principles, a worker of evil. The rector then spoke of the need of good leaders and of a live inter- est all along the line, and Concluded by urging the brethern not only to look to the morrow, but to the dim vista. of the futurewhereeternity wasstretching themaway before hose for happiness or • woe would be deterntined by the self-etaistant Clod.
