SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS. -&t present, it looks as If Mr, Borden will have a majority of 40 in the new parliament; that is ouf- fiolent. ♦ I * -Monday, October 30, has been chosen as Thanksgiving day for the bountiful harvest and other hleseings enjoyed thus far during 1911. Let us be thankful for peace and plenty. . a 0 * -The Brussels Post in reviewing the election results, re .narks --"Our nearest Liberal member is Hugh Guthrie, M. P. at Guelph, W. Proud - foot, M. P, P., is now an orphan in Huron County, being the only Grit member in either House out of 6 possibilities." 4 w * -Mr. R. L. Borden seems to ap- proach the Premiership in a proper spirit, On hearing the result of the election, he said :- "The Conservatives will assume the task of Government in no spirit of exaltation, but with a feeling of responsibility, and an earnest endeavor to -promote the progress of this strong nation." * w * Some person has been industrious and curious enough to figure out the religious persuasions of the members of the new parliament, and this is said to be the result :-71 Roman Catholics, 46 Presbyterians, 46 Metho- diets, 45 Church of Eogland, 5 Bap- tists, 8 Lutherans, 2 Congregation- alists, and one Quaker (Carrick of Rainy River.) * • • -The Toronto daily Globe com- ments thusly :-"The strength of the Liberal representation in Parliament has been terribly broken. Outside of Sir Wilfrid himself and five of his colleagues, Messrs. Lemieux, Oliver, • Pugsley, Murphy and Beland, the party, so far as' the Commons is con- cerned, has been swept clean of all its leaders. On the other hand, the Con- servative representation, both in quality and numbers, is stronger than it has been in twenty years." s • • -The following is the political his- tory of East Huron and might be kept by those interested for the infor- mation it contains :-The riding was established by the Redistribution Act of 1882. At the general election in that same year, Thos. Farrow (Con- servative) was elected by 60 majority. Five years later, in 1887, Dr. McDon- ald (Liberal) was elected by •a majori- ty of 61. At the next general election, in 1891, Dr. McDonald was re-elected by 308. Again, in 1896, Dr. McDonald was elected oder E. L. Dickinson by a majority of 159. At the next appeal to the country in 1900, Dr. McDonald was again victorious over E. L. Dick - insole by 140 majority. In 1904, Dr. Chisholm (Conservative) contested the • seat against Dr. McDonald, and re- deemed the riding by a majority of 184. In 1908, Dr. Chisholm was again •successful, defeating Arch. Hislop by a majority of 83. At the next appeal to the people, Sept. 21, 1911, James Bowmen (Conservative) and Arch. Hislop (Liberal) were the candidates, and the former won by 198 majority. WINGHAM TOWN COUNCIL Council met in regular monthly session on Monday evening; members all present. The proceedings of last regular meeting were read and confirmed. Scott Gordon of Toronto asked a rebate of business tax from June 1st, taxes having been paid -matter left over for reference. Coun. Hall presentrd a request from Mr. 74. Beckwith asking for rebate on business tax ; action deferred. Mr. Geikie asked for refund on dog tax of $1.Q0, as dog was poisoned in February ; no action taken, as Mr. Gelkle neglected application to Court of Revision. Mr. and Mrs. Runstedler asked for change in Iicense fee for vaudeville. Ae the By-law would have to be chan- ged to allow of this, Coun. Elliott and Bone moved that no action be taken- carried, Coun. Bell then gave notice of motion to have By-law changed at next meeting of Council. As the Council had proposed to take the initiative in laying sewers on cer- tain streets, residents on those streets petitioned against the improvement. On motion of Coun. Elliott and Bone, the petition was received and the Council will take no further action in the matter. Dr, Irwin and Mr. Sperling com- plained that they had been charged Sanitary tax not chargeable ; the mat- ter will be looked into.' Mr. Howson asked for an electric light at the mill, as it was necessary for the accommodation of the public, and' offered to pay $5 toward cost of erection ; the committee will see if a re -arrangement of lights will remove the difficulty. Coun. Mitchell is liable to bad spells of the Street Committee;business, and in the monthly attack (perhaps unin- tentionally) insinuated that the demon. "graft" influenced the work. Natural- ly Chairman Elliott very strongly re- sented the insinuation, and promptly tendered his resignation as Councillor as well as Chairman of Committee. He was induced to withdraw the form- er, but will no longer be Chairman. Couns. Bone, McDonald and Hall, as- sisted in pouring oil on the troubled waters, and the Mayor asked that the incident be closed, Coun. Mitchell stat- ing that he meant no offence.

Russia, usually ag- gressive, has been quiet since her defeat by Japan. Germany frequently starts a war sere b 3' her er w arlii ke preparations, but this actual war is located in the south. Italy bas dared to declare war against Turkey on account of conditions in Tripoli, a country on the north coast of Africa, Italy seems prepared, has a fine fleet, while Turkey (known as the "Sick Man" of Europe) seems in a very poor eondition so far as het' fleet is con- cerned. To raise a diversion, and probably to induce other powers to join in the conflict, Turkey bas at- tacked Greece. It is hoped that the war wilt be confined to these nations, and that the greater European powers may not be drawn into the conflict. 11 eo, the war will not be of long duration, as the superiority of the Italian fleet will give Italy the ad- vantage from the start. At present, adv nta-e of i Italy took a it Looks as f t y g Turkey's helpless condltion, to declare war against her, and unless some European power acmes to the aid of the "Sink Man,' the latter is practi- cally without a fleet to convey her Soldiers to Tripoli, and Italy's fleet will cover the scone of operations, and Turkey Must submit to- the in- evitable. HARVEST THANKSGIVING. Will Drill Again, The Water, and Light Commission- ers' have decided to try agate, and will drill a test well near the power -house at the upper dam, where it was In- tended when the scheme was first launched. The driller expects to get his apparatus ready to begin there on Monday. Friday, Oct. 6. The indications show that the enter- tainment on Friday, October 8th, under the auspices of the Ladies' Auxiliary of Wingham Hospital, will be well attended. The Lucknow Dra- matic Club will render "The Stolen Diamonds." Reserve your seat at J. W. MoKibbon's, The annual Harvest Thanksgiving services were conducted in St. Paul's Church on Sunday, Oct.. let, by Rev. H, M. LangFord of Listowel, The church was beautifully decorated and the congregations were good, the evening service being especially well attended. In the • morning an appro- priate sermon was based on the text, "Thou crownest the year with thy goodness" --$'a. 65:11, and the key- note was "Seeing God in the harvest," In the evening, the sermon was an expansion of the thougbt of "Seeing God." The text was, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shalt see God" -St. Matt. 5:8, The pure in heart shall see the things of God and shall have visions of God, but the worldly mind and impure thoughts keep men from seeing God. In proportion as purity, holy desires, and zeal domin- ate in our hearte, in that proportion shall we have visions of God. And we shall see Him where Christ saw Him -(1) --In the physical world, (2) - In human life, and (3) -In history. The Harvest Supper on Monday evening was an unqualified success. After partaking of the sumptuous re- past provided by the ladies, the con- cert was held in Mills Memorial Hall. The orchestra opened with an over- ture and throughout the evening won much well deserved praise. The chair- man, Mr. H. Davis, who always adds a great deal to the enjoyment of an evening when he presides, called upon Rev, Dr, Rutledge for an address. He felicitated the rector and members of St. Paul's upon the very successful celebration and conveyed the hearty greetings of the Methodist Church to them. The male quartette com- posed of Messrs. Willis, Hill, Wilford and R. Gerry Willis, rendered two selections which were encored. Mies Freeman of Lucknow delighted the audience with her rich contralto voice. After a guitar solo from Mrs. McGil- livray, which was encored, Mr. Willis, sen., sang a solo and was twice en- cored. His son, R. Gerry Willis, like- wise sang and was encored. Rev. 0. E. Jeakins, B.A., B.D., rector of Clin- ton, delivered an inspiring address, which will be long remembered, and as the chairman remarked, it was by such work he had won .the •hearts of the people when rector here. The enjoyable evening was brought to a close with a few words of thanks from the rector and an octette from the choir. Misses Houghton, Reynolds and Griffin discharged the duty of accompanists very acceptably. Great credit is due the ladies of St. Paul's and especially to Mrs. C. N. Griffin, the president, for such and excellent supper and entertainment. There are now about 75 public library buildings in Ontario and over 400 libraries.

Went Quickly. 3. Walton MoKibbon's stock of gold fish did not last long. On Friday morning, every purchaser of a box of Rexall Liver Pills was presented with an aquarium, consisting of globe, plant and two gold fish. In twenty minutes, the whole stock was gone, and 142 purchasers of pills took their fish home with them, The heavy rainfall during the pre- r•eding night and threatening aspect .,f the weather on the morning of the second day of the Fair, interfered to some extent with the attendance. Nevertheless, the day was fine, but cool, and the attendance was very good. About one p.m., the school children in a very pretty parade formed a pro- cession, preceded by Wingham and Lucknow Bands, with the Boy Scouts as rear -guard, marched gaily to the grounds. The inside display was scarcely . as good in all lines as last year, roots and fruit showing a decline, attributable no doubt to the season. The ladies' departments were splendid, the home - baking display being larger than ever. There was a larger number of entries in each class than at any previons Fair, except in the root and fruit classes. The outside exhibit was very good considering the threatening weather. Great interest was manifest in the horse class, and it is conceded that the best lot of heavy horses ever shown in Wingham was at the 1011 Fair. Two of our former students, Miss Mary Stewart and Miss Lizzie Fergu- son, have secured schools. The form- er at Grand Valley and the latter at Niagara on the Lake. Mise K. C. S. Ries, 1 A.

The gathering took a pleasant form intended to express ap- preciation of the work of Mr. J. A. Morton's work, as leader of the choir for the past eight years. As an evi- dence of the pleasing relations enjoy ed, Mr. Morton was presented with a handsome "Club Bag." Mr. F. Hill, the newly -appointed leader, made the presentation. Dr. Redmond read a complimentary address, expressing the most kindly sentiments, and ap- preciation of Mr. Morton's work in connection with the choir, as well as in other departments of Church work, including the Adult Bible class and Teacher Training class. In accepting these evidences of good will and ap- preciation, Mr. Morton expressed the pleasure he had experienced in the work, and the hope that the choir would continue to be a helpful factor in the work •of the Church.

A reactionary storm period is central on the 3rd and 4th, and may be expected, to. bring.a return of storm conditions, with rain, wind and possibly light snow northward, fol- lowed by rapid change to much cooler,. A regular storm period Is at its center, with full Hoon on the equator, on the 7th, This is one of the most decided storm periods of this month, Violent disturbances should be watch- ed against, both in the Lake and Gulf regions. Rain, wind and thund- er will visit most parts of the interior during this period. Snow northward, rising barometer'and much cooler, will wind up this period. A reaction- ary storm period falls 011 the 131b, 14th and 15th. Fierce 'autumnal thunder etorms will visit many sections; with high gales over lake regions, . A regular storm period ex- tends from the 17th to the 22nd.

Autumn rains will occur, attended by dangerous gales, especi- ally on and about the great lakes. Early snow to the north and west with sleet storms that will hamper and endanger wires and agricultural interests, need not surprise those con- cerned. High northwest winds and cold, fair weather will follow this period. A reactionary storm period will bring low barometer, cloudiness and autumnal rain and wind, on the 24th, 25th and 26th. Stubborn cloudi- nese, persistent tendency to drizzle and sleet, snow and cold will attend and follow these dates.
