A MAGNIFICENT STORE.
G. C. Hanna's New Store Completed
And Occupied.
Geo. C. Hanna moved this week
into his new store, which is acknow-
ledged to be, not only the finest in
town, but one of the best north of
Toronto. n, is 115 feet long by 30
wide, and from its situation presents
a very fine appearance. Inside, it is
beautifully finished, and furnishes two
unobstructed floor spaces, seldom ex-
celled outside of the cities. It is well
lighted by day, for large plate glass
windows, upstairs and down, admit
plenty of natural light, and at night
the powerful electric lamps make it
almost like day.
The building is steam -heated, and
nineteen radiators diffuse the heat,
The ceilings on the main floor and
also upstairs are metallic, of elegant
pattern, made even more attractive
by being tastefully doeprated and
painted, Mr. A. Schaefer's workman-
like brush doing that part of the
work. The cellar is the whole length
of the building and is cemented
throughout. The main floor has
handsome fittings, and will be devot-
ed to house furnishings, gents' fur-
nishings, clothing, ladies' mantles and
furs, The size of the store willallow
these to be tastefully displayed. Up-
stairs will be chiefly the Carpet de-
partment, and the very large floor
space will be a great convenience in
displaying rugs, etc. The stairways
are handsome, and easy of access, and
at the rear an easily operated hoist
renders it easy to transfer goods to or
from the second flat, '
The contractor for the building was
Mr. Wm. Rintotil, who did the car-
penter work. Jenkins and Pugh did
the brickwork ; Adam Schaefer, the
painting; Alex. Young, the metallic
sheeting and • heating apparatus ; S.
Bennett furnishing the factory ma-
terial, so that the whole building is
the product of home workmen. The
building is certainly a credit to all
who had part in its construction, and
is a decided and substantial addition
to the business blocks of town.
Altogether, the "Little Eaton" now
has exceptional facilities, and the en-
terprise shown and money expended
in its erection, should bring commen-
surate returns.

UNEXPECTED DEATB,
Visitor From Washington Dies Shortly
After Arrival,
.
The uncertainty of life was most
impressively enforced last week by
the sudden death of a lady near Glen-
annan, Mrs, Krause, of Everett,
Washington territory, came a couple
of weeks ago to visit her sister, Mrs.
Rich'd Armstrong, formerly of Wing -
ham, but now residing with her son
near Glenannan. She had not seen
her for twenty years, and the sisters
were expecting a pleasant winter in
each other's company, but death came
suddenly, and as often is the case,
turned rejoicing into mourning, Mrs.
Krause appeared to be in her usual
health, and was in Wingham on Mon-
day. On Tuesday night of last week
she took ill and early on Wednesday
passed away, heart failure being the
cause. She was 67 years of age, was
twice married, but was a widow and
leaves no children. Interment took
place in Wingham cemetery on Sat-
urday.

A Visit Of Inspection.
On Tuesday morning the Council
went on a visit of inspection of the
Electric Light plant, and invited the•
Press to accompany therm. The Exe-
cutive committee of the Council has
this department under its charge, and
the members find that they have quite
a problem before them. The fast is
plain. to every person, $who will take
the trouble to investigate the matter,
that a large expenditure of money
must be made, and that before long, if
Wingham is to have an up-to-date
plant, such as the Town ought to
-have. The difficulty is, that taxation
is already at high water mark, and
how to manage the matter will be a
problem that the Council of 1908 Will
most likely have to deal with.

Supper And Concert.
The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Wing -
ham Hospital are doing their share in
the interests of that Institution. On
Thursday, 24th inst., they will give a
Supper in the Council Chamber, to be
followed by a Concert in the Opera
House. The admission fee to Supper
and Concert is placed at the low price
of 25 cents, and there should be an
overflow attendance. Ten cents extra
will reserve a seat for the Concert ;
the plan of Hall will be open at Mc-
Ifibbon's drug store at 2 p. m. on Mon-
day. Supper served from 5.30 to eight

—There is an election for the Do-
►ninion Parliament to take place in
London, on the 29th inst, The candi-
dates are Major Beattie (Conservative)
and J. D, Jacobs (Labor), The Lib-
erals will probably support the Labor
candidate, This seat was rendered
vacant by the resignation of Mr. Hy.
man. It is to be hoped that London
will change the program this time and
not repeat the awful corruption prac-
tised
raytised in the last Dominion election,
and revealed in the Courts.
How He Does It.
John A. Webster, of Sparta, has
adopted a plan which should be fol-
lowed by other ftuitgrowers and
farmers. Instead of shipping his ap-
ples in the old way in barrels, to the
Old Country, he wraps each apple in
a piece of tissue paper and packs them
in boxes containing three pecks (forty
pounds). He has shipped one carload
of fall apples to Glasgow, $1.25 per
box f. o. b. at Port Stanley, and has
been offered that price for all that he
can pack. $1.25 for three pecks means
$1.07 a bushel. That should pay for
the extra work.
Again Bereaved.
For the third time in two years
Death has invaded the family circle of
Mr. and Mrs. Louis Small, of Scott
street. It is ouly six months since
they laid their son, Robert, in the
silent tomb, and on Tuesday their
daughter, Mary Elizabeth, wife of Mr.
H. A. Taylor, passed away, aged 36.
Deceased had been in poor health for
the past few months, and a few days
ago, inflammation of the bowels set
in. She bad resided with her parents
for the past few months, .and leaves
no family. Mr. and Mrs. Small have
had much sorrow of late,; but we hope
the. future will be. brighter. Mr. and
Mrs. Thos. Small of Listowel attended
the funeral, which takes. plate to -day

A Nasty Cut.
On Thursday last, .Mr. R. Rankin
met with an accident that might have
proven more serious than it did. He
was splitting wood, when the axe
caught in a clothesline and descended
on his head, cutting a deep gash,
which bled profusely, Medical aid
was summoned, and he is now able to
attend tohis duties as bell-ringer.
Hurry Them Up.
The condition of the road through
the fields where the new bridge is be-
ing erected south of town is wretched.
The butments of the new bridge are
complete, but the erection of the iron
work is delayed. The County authori-
ties should see that the contractors
come to time. To have to drive
through the river and such mud -holes
is anything but pleasant at this time
of the year.
A Rushing Business.
On the 31st day of August, 1906, W.
R. Davis, editor of the Mitchell Advo-
cate, was appointed Police Magistrate
for Mitchell, Fullarton, Logan and
Hibbert. Since then he has disposed
of eighty-six cases, summary and
criminal. The town treasurer, during
that time, received in fines $175, and
the Liquor License Inspector $140.
Four prisoners were committed to
Central Prison ; three to stand trial
at the assize court, three to terms in
the county jail, one to the House of
Industry, one to the Mercer Reforma-
tory and one to London Asylum.
Bro, Davis seems to have done his
share towards handing out justice to
evil -doers.

Three Wayward Boys. •
A telegram was sent to Chief Allen
Tuesday to be on the look -out for three
boys, who had left their homes in Mit-
chell, causing considerable excitement
in their home town, and much anxiety
to their parents. The Chief was other-
wise engaged when the telegram ar-
rived, and in the meantime Provincial
Constable Phippen received a request
by telephone to arrest the boys. They
were found near the G. T. R., arrested,
and word sent to their parents. Their
names were — Wm. Walters, Fred.
Couch, Jos, Baker, and apparently
were about 15 yearsrs of ege.
They
ad-
mitted
they had been reading trashy
novels, and had made up their minds
to go off on an adventure, such as
they had read of. When arrested
they had not decided which way to
go. Their parents came up and took
charge of them, glad to have got trace
of them.
--An "International" postage stamp
has been devised for use, when requirr
ed, in all countries in the Postal
Union. In the past this baa been a
"felt want." 11or instance, if a person
in Canada writes to the United States
to eclossea
wishes en
or francs, and v
stamp for reply, it is no use to enclose
a Canadian stamp, and the same may
be acid if the ease was reversed. This
difficulty has been overcome by the
arrangement of an International
stamp devised by the Postal union.
An International stamp ,can be per.
chased for five cents, and the receiver,
by taking this to his own postofllce,
can exchange it for a stamp recog-
nired in his own country. This ar-
rangement will apply to the United
StatesPrance, Germany and all eoun-
tries its the 'Portal *Onion. To these
days of postal faellltiee and inereaeed
communication by mail, this new ar-
rangentent will be a oonvenience.
Change 0f Time.
The Advance had gone to press last
week, when the change of C. P. R.
tithe was announced. The changes
affecting Wingham are as follows ;—
The morning train for Toronto now
leaves at 7.08, instead of 0.53, and the
afternoon train at 3,24 instead of 8.34.
The afternoon train from Toronto ar-
rives at 1,07 p. m, instead of 1.17; the
night 'train time 10 not changed, but is
due at 10,27, as before,
True, In Many Cases.
Too many people keep the flowers
they have plucked for you until the
day of your funeral. Their songs of
praise are not heard until your proces-
sion is passing your door. The mantle
of charity does not become public pro-
perty until put in use by the preacher
who conducts the "last sad rites". If
a man has flowers for me I want them
while I am on earth and can smell
their fragrance. They will do no good
sitting on the head of my coffin. The
grass that is kept green about my last
resting place will be of little avail to
me on the other shore. Sere is where
I need the flowers and the smiles and
praise, not over there. If the fellow
that is going round to the house after
I am gone to see "if he can be of any
help" will come around to -morrow I
can tell him how he can be a whole lot
of help. Carry your flowers to the
living and sing your songs of praise
at the dinner table. Don't wait for
the funeral.
Auction Sale.
Mr. Arch. McNeil, of East Wawa -
nosh, intends to reside in Grey, on the
old homestead, and announces an ex-
tensive auction sale of stock and im-
plements, on lot 33, con. 12, on Wed-

Postal Changes.
The following important changes in
the Imperial peony and foreign postal
rates went into effect on the first of
October :—The postage on letters to
Great'Britain, Egypt and all parts of
the British Empire, except Australia
and Rhodesia, which has hitherto
been 2 cents per } oz. will be 2 cents
per oz., Australia and Rhodesia not
having signified their adhesion to this
change, the rate on letters to these
colonies will be, as hitherto, 2c per
oz. The postage of letters to Postal
Union countries, with the exceptions
above mentioned and United States
and Mexico will be 5 cents for each
letter of one ounce or less. On letters
weighing more than an oz. the pos-
tage will be 5 cents for the first oz.
and 3 cents for each subsequent oz. or
fraction thereof.

High School Field Day.
The Wingham High School Field
day, postponed from Friday on ac-
count of the rain, was held on Tues-
day on the town park. The students
were favored With ideal weather, and
an excellent meet was the result. The
events vvere keenly contested and the
utmost enthusiasm prevailed. Quito
a large crowd of citizens attended the
games and the High School Field day
promises to be one of the most popu-
lar annual events in Wingham here-
after, The chief honors of the day
fell to W. S. McLean, who with four
firsts and two seconds to his credit,
easily Won the Senior championship.
McLean also won the road .ram a
week ago. The Junior boys' tham-
plonship was won by G. Treleaven,
who had 14 points to his Credit. The
eomplete prize list is not available for
this week, but will be found in next
issue.

A very interesting letter is to hand
from C. J. Maguire, formerly of Wing -
ham, now of Edmonton. He reports
married life very enjoyable, and
though real estate is not moving quite
so freely, there is no drop in values.
Mr. and Mrs. Maguire, Sen. (formerly
of Morris), are living quite near, and
like the West so well that they have
decided to remain there. Edmonton
is on the booze, and the census shows
19,000 population, a gain of 7000 in one
year. Among the recent improve-
ments are a $70,000 school, a postoffice
costing $250,000,the new Provincial
buildings, the Swift & Armour Lack-
ing plant, a street railway, etc. Sena-
tor McMullen bought a lot there re-
cently at $850 a foot frontage. Frost
did some damage to wheat, but other
crops were good, and prices are high.
As soon as the grain begins to move
it is thought that the money strin-
gency will vanish. C. J. is one of the
partners in the firm of Carr & Ma-
guire, real estate agents. Mr. A. H.
Carr (formerly of Wingham) is the
other member of the firm.

Gospel Temperance Meeting.
The first of the announced series of
Gospel Temperance meetings was held,
in the Town Hall on Sunday evening,
after the close of the services in the
churches. There was a very good at-
tendance, that was encouraging to the
committee in charge of these services.
Tho Salvation. Army furnished the
music, and Mr. Buchanan, President
of the Local Option committee, pre-
sided. Rev, H. E. Alien, pastor of the
Baptist Church, had been announced
as the speaker of the evening, but at
one time it looked as if he was going
to be barred out, on account of the
length of the chairman's address. At
last, however (like all good things)
this came to an end, and the patience
of the andience was rewarded by an
Allen. Ile
s b c
excellent address y Pastor Ali .
is a clear, convincing speaker, and was
listened to attentively, It is the in-
tention of the committee to hold these
temperance meetings monthly, on the
second Sunday of the month, at the
dose of the services in the churches.
Now that the Local Option campaign
has commenced, the Committee has
made a contract with the Town papers
for spade, and therein they will pre•
sent their views of the subject weekly
as °caution may require.
