Large Potato.
Mr. G. C. Creelwan, superintendent
of Partners' Institutes, received recent•
ly from a friend at Kamloops, )7sr C., an
enormous potato, which weighed fl$
ounces and was a foot long by over
five inches in width. During potato
seeding, Mr. Oreelrnan was in the
Kamloops district, and was rather ins
credulous of the local stories of 30 ton
per acre potato crop, He will have

Orders Coming.
President Taylor, of the Western
Foundry Co.. Limited, was absent last
week on a business trip, and took ors
ders for one hundred Crown Huron
ranges fifty of these go to Berlin.
The foundry finds plenty of work, and
it looks as though an enlargement of
the premises is a necessity. They are
now turning out thirty ranges a week.
Mr. Taylor is known as a a"hustler" in
business matters, and has his hands
full.
Saved.
An East Wawanosh correspondent
to the Blyth Standard gives the follow-
ing:—Two small children of a friend of
ours were chased across a field one day
recently by a ferocious cow, and in
telling about the escape the little girl
said "We were saved, mamma. in
answer to prayer. I told Tommy to
pray as he ran and he said he didn't
remember any prayer. I told him to
say what papa says at the breakfast
table, so he shouted, "For what we
are about to receive, make us truly
thankful." Then we crawled under
the fence and were saved."
No matter what you want in Dry
Goods. Clothing, or Furs, try.Dulmage
and if he has what you want you are
sure to save money.
Sad.
Mrs. J. S. Macdonald of Zetland finds
the truth of the saying that "troubles
seldom come singly." Not long ago
she lost her husband. Then in March
last her ten -year-old son, Norman, was
struck in one eye by a playmate, unin-
tentionally. The ,littlefellow wee,
throwing at an object, but missing his
aim, struck Norman in one eye. The
injered child, was taken to the Sick
Children's Hospital, Toronto, and the
eye removed. Mrs: Macdonald now
has word that the other eye is serious-
ly affected, and she fears that her son
may lose his sight altogether. We
hope such a calamity may not be the
lot of the little sufferer.
Died.
A despatch from Clinton, dated
Sunday last says :—The sudden death
of Mr. Ike Rattenbury of the Ratten-
bury hotel of this place, at the Guelph
hospital on Thursday -evening, and
whose funeral takes place here to -day,
removes one of the most widely -
known men of this section of the
country. Mr.. Rattenbury was, the
first male child born in Clinton -58
years ago ; and the words Rattenbury
Corners and Rattenbury House are
familiar. to all travelers, who will deep.
ly regret to learn of his decease Mr.
Rattan bury was unmarried, and' leaves
one brother, Joseph, and two widow-
ed sisters, Mrs, S. H. Rance of Clinton
and Mrs. H. Read of London.

A Good Swimmer.
A fugitive deer found its way to
Kincardine last Thursday morning.
South of the G. T, R, station, he took
to the water and swam out into the
lake. Two parties went after him in
row boats and succeeded in lassoing
him about a mile and a half from land.
He was a fine big buck, In towing
him home hie head became entangled
with the rope, which pulled him under
water, causing death by drowning.
On landing, all who took part in the
chase were served with subpoenas to
appear before the Mayor for infraction
of the game laws. In the eYicitement
of the chase they had forgotten that
they were all gnlicegse4. The titan
who made the catch pleaded guilty
and was fined $20 and costs, The
others were let off.

No Foot -bridge.
Regarding g ng the foot -bridge ridge proposed
to be erected across the river from the
Western Foundry, the Executive
Committee of the Council authorized
Chief V'annorman to secure timber
and men and proceed with the work.
On examination, the Chief reported
the scheme impracticable, and recom-
mended that the bridge at the mill be
used, and a road made from the mill
across the G. T. R., which can be done
at a comparatively small outlay, So
far as we can learn, the foot -bridge is
not likely to be built. To make any-
thing like a permanent work of it,
would require considerabe outlay, as
timber is expensive.

December 4th.
Mr. Campbell, Returning -officer for
the Referendum vote, has issued his
proclamation, announcing the vote to
be taken on December 4th, on the
Ross Liquor Bill. The polling places
in town are : Wardl—J. B. Cummings'
shop; Ward 2—Wm. Gannett's shop;
Ward 3—Town Hall ; Ward 4—John
Gra'f's shop. Representatives of the
temperance people met in the Council
Chamber on Friday evening, elected
the Ward committees, and discussed
the best method of raising the neces-
sary funds. Dr. Macdonald, M. P.,
was present, and gave valuable hints
on organization for the campaign.
Old Lady, Did It.
The Mildmay Gazette reports the
following :—A. charivari in thetown-
ship of Carrick last week resulted
rather seriously for one of the young
men who participated in the "rattle."
The mother of the bride objected to
the racket, end gave the boys chase.
She seized a heavy club and took after
three young fellows, and pursued them
to the fence. Two of them got over
the fence safely, but the third was less
fortunate. The irate old lady brought
the weapon down on the young man's
hand which still grasped the 'top rail
of the fence, and severed the thumb
from the hand. No doubt it is a seri-
ous affair for the young fellow, but he
who undertakes to charivari must
take the results.
A small red leather pocket -book was
lost on the street by a young lady last
week, The finder will greatly oblige
by leaving it at the Advance. office.

X Rays.
Dr. Kennedy has purchased an X
rays and statical electrical machine,
The usefulness of the X rays has been
largely extended during the past few
months, and it is now being largely
and successfully used in the cities for
the cure of cancer, many skin diseases
and other heretofore intractable dis-
eases. The. statical machine is the
most powerful form of electricity ever
made use of by the medical profession
as remedial regent in disease, and has
recently been extensively and success-
fully operated, for the cure of rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, paralysis, St. Vitus
dance, all forms of nervous disease and
manyother chronic cel orris troubles. By the
use of X rays a surgeon can determine
the exact nature of a fracture, and
after it is set, can look through ban-
dages and splints and see that the
hone is in exact apposition.
Prompt Payment:
On Wednesday. E. C. Clarke, Recor-
ding -Secretary of Court Maitland, No.
25, handed Mrs. Hugg, a cheque for
$1,000, the amount of insurance carried
by her late husband in the Canadian
Order of Foresters. The payment of
this claim within two weeks of the
day of the funeral of the deceased is
evidence of business -like methods pre-
vailing in the Canadian Foresters.
Mrs. Hogg's thanks to the Executive
of the Order are expressed herewith:—
GaneranssaN,—I desire most sincere-
ly to thank you for the prompt pay-
ment of $1,000, insurance on the life of
my late husband, Francis .1. A. Hogg,
of Court Maitland, No, 25, and also
take this opportunity of expressing
my gratitude to the members of Court
Maitland for their kind sympathy and
assistance during my recent bereave-
ment. 1 shall always hold the Cana-
dian Order of Foresters in high esteem
and heartily wish thee? God speed in
their noble work.

OhI Te ll,
There appear to be wild rumors in
the adjacent country regarding diply.
therie in Wingham, and a great deft(
of unnecessary fright on the part of
many coming to .town. The public
naturally look for a reliable statement
of the case. There have been, it is
trite., a few cases of the disease, but
only a few, not by any means shill,
cent to cause much alat n. T
he Boat d
of health ?let and decided to close the
school for one week, not because of the
number of case's, but in Order to check
the spread of the disease at the or[tset,
Members of the Board of health hold
responsible positions, as guardinpe of
the politic health. If they are las, the
pgblip will condemn them if disease
spreads i if they are stl:1Pt, they got
into trouble on that score. We believe
patience and care will remove the
trews of the very few cases known,
In the meantime, people from the
country need not be alarmed, or afraid
to come to town,
Atiev IN SAL1111.—Thos. Brown, awe
tioneer, of Seaforth. is prepared to at-
tend Wes in this vicinity, Call tit Ad.

Xing Edward Coins.
People everywhere are looking after
the new King Edward five -cent piece,
on which the manufacturer, Heaton,
of Birmingham, England, erroneously
put the queen's crown on the reverse,
instead of the king's' crown. The 10
and 25•cent pieces bear the king's
crown, The government has stopped
the issue of the 5 -cent pieces, and will
confiscate all those not sent out. The
people are as yet mistaken in the rea-
son for the stoppage of this coin, and
the real reason is not on account of the
crown, although this is admitted to be
an error. The real reason is, that the
usual small H beneath the wreath that
is necessary on all coinage done by the
Heaton company, has been omitted in
the first consignment of 5 -cent pieces
that reached Canada, The 10 and 25 -
cent pieces of the Edward issue bear
the H. All coinage, both English and
Canadian, that has no letter beneath
the wreath, is done at the royal mint
in London. The Heaton people only
get the orders when the royal mint is
very busy. The new Edward cent just
issued was coined at the royal mint.
Similar.
About August 14th last, the Toronto
World had the following
W. C. Bullock, manager of the
Industrial Financial Co., Toronto,
and Mr. John Davidson, today
closed arrangements for the estab-
lishing of a factory of the National
Cross Ply Veneer Co. Limited,at
New Westminster, for the exprt-
ing of tea chests to Japan and In-
dia. They will employ 200 hands
and inn night and day."
Toronto daily papers last week con-
tained the following:—
"The National Cross Ply Veneer
Company, which was organized
last July with- an authorized capi-
tal of $700.000, has assigned to J.
P. Langley. The company at the
time was negotiating for the pur-
chase of lumber mills in British
Columbia, but an assignment be-
came necessary before the com-
pany got thoroughly into working
shape."
The unfortunate resemblance of the
fate of the National Cross Ply Veneer
Co. to that of our National Iron Works
is remarkable. To think that both,
should have to assign before they got
into working shape is indeed strange.
In the Wingliam case 'the thing lasted
until the presentations were made and
the doxology sung. Then the public
had the fireworks and the shareholders
and creditors had the fizzle part•of the
business, and the show was over. No
particulars are obtainable of the other
thing, but "Veneer" is rather sug-
gestive.

INSPECTOR'S REPORT.
To Wingham School Board :—
Gentlemen,—I beg leave to report
that I ,v.isited your school on, October
13tht 14th; 15th, and found the rooms
cleifh and comfortable. You have an
excellent caretaker.
I would suggest that the back row
of desks in Miss Mathieson's room be
lifted and moved to the front, as they
are too near the steam pipes.
The old members of the staff are as
usual doing quite satisfactory work.
Misses McLean and Brock are excel-
lent teachers. The Board could not
have made better selections.
Your school is in a healthy and pros-
perous condition, and reflects great
credit on the business capacity of the
Board, the professional and executive
ability of the Principal, and the olfi
ciency of the assistant teachers.
D. Rona, Inspector.
On motion of Messrs. Griffin and
Moore, the excellent report of the In-
spector was filed.
On motion of Messrs. Elliott and
Abraham, it was resolved to order a
carload of soft coal.
The salaries of teachers and officers

ed by C. N. Griflin,—That this Board
extend sincerest sympathy to Thomas
Abraham, long an esteemed member
of this Board, in the bereavement he
has sustained in the loss of his wife,
who for so many years shared iris joys
and sorrows, We trust he may be
longspared to meet with us.—Carried.
Mr. Abraham . acknowledged 'the
b
kindly.sr1Irit'OM deucell: h4' the notion,
and hoped it would be many years be-
fore any Other member of the Board

lar bereavement.
