Mr. Jerry Neaman, who resides a little south of Exeter, while descending from a G,T.R coach at Centralia on Saturday last, had the misfortune to break his arm at the wrist.

Quite a number were present at the wood -bee given by Mr. Charles Isaac, 3rd concession of Stephen, on Thursday last and consequently a splendid supply of wood was cut, Af- ter the completion of a faithful day's work, all present indulged in a •social dance. Owing to the inclemency of the wea- ther on Tuesday last Mr. A. Walper's sale was not a suceess. Considerable stuff was sold, but not -hear as much as if the weather had been fine. About half the things mentioned on the bill were not offered. He has arranged for another sale to take place on Tuesday next, 26th inst', when it is hoped the weather will prove more favorable.

Three trustees are to be chosen and the usual financial and oth er reports will be submitted, This vicinity was counted in the track of the recent storm, On Saturday it looked as if we were going to have. a green Christmas, but the .thermome• ter gave a twist and Sunday, Monday and Tuesday was once more , in the arms of "old Daddy winter". The weather is now just what people want so that they can get out on Xmas pur- chasing trips. It is now the season of good sleigh ing and the AbvOCATE once more warns the school children of the dan- ger of hanging on sleighs. Parents should caution their children of the dangerous practice. It is while going and coming from school when a whole crowd of small children try to' pile on" that a little one will get under the run- ners, resulting in a broken arm, leg, or perhaps killed. Children be careful. Don't forget Mr, ,A. Walper's sale of farm stock, implements, etc, on Tues day next. See posters.

STEWART. The "At Home" and sale of work, held in Trivict Memorial Church •Hall, on Tuesday evening had a very fair patronage; considering the severe snow storm which was raging during the day and part of the night. The work exhibited for sale was very good in- deed and most of what was soldAeesught good prices. The program was a short one but well received. Total amount of proceeds was about $30. .As a result of an 'extra canvass on behalf of the aged and infirmministers' fund of the Presbyterian church. the subscribed capital is now about $115, 900. Of this sum $88,000 is paid. The previous capital was $15 000. Thus a grand total of $130,000, all paid up'lies to the credit of the fund. When the $200,000 is reached the committee have the promise that the sum of $20,000 will be added to it. At the present time there are 76 ministers on the re- tired list. Many of these have only received very small salaries, but it is. now certain that men who gave their life and strength for the service of their church in days gone by will be adequately rewarded.
