A general in- crease in the assessment will not mean higher taxation, though It may result in a cower rate on the dollar. Mr. Clegg wishes to complete the work early, before his removal to the farm. Always have on hand fresh and smoked fish, also celery and lettuce at L. G. Kt'nse, Star Restaurant. One of our exchanges has figured up the days of snowfall this winter and states that snow has fallen sixty- five clays, and byFeb. lot, we shall have had eighty-two days continuous sleighing. Just now, there is no indi- cation of the supply of snow giving out, and it still falls as plentifully as if winter had only just begun. The Brantford Courier says : "The practice of cleaning cement walks frorn snow, right down to the surface, should he stopped. In that condition they are more slippery even than the average elide, and a great menace to the public safety. A quantity of snow should be left on the sidewalks." Pehaw, Brantford, you are behind the times ! Wingham citizens have adopt ed that plan for years. No, you don't catch us taking all the snow off our sldewaiks. The fasters around Blyth have adopted a . simple contrivance for leveling the track for each sleigh run- ner to a width of 14 inches. It is made by attaching a piece of plank to the front reeve on each side so that it sets like the moldboard of a plow. This. makes a hard track, does away with pitch holes and prevents the horses Prom crowding as they have a smooth hard track to travel on, Thie might work well if adopted at the beginning of winter, but in the present condition of roads in the vicinity of Wingham, it would not be of much service.

Our liet is one to be proud of for good, prompt paying subscribers, but there are is few, who might improve by paying promptly during January, for 1904. Try it and see how well the plan works. Anniversary. Next Sunday will be the anniversary of Wingharp Baptist Ohtireh, and the members and adherents are looking forward to a day of special interest, Rev. Dr. Thomas, the retiring pastor of Jarvis street Baptist Church, To- ronto, is expected to preach, morning and evening. On Monday evening, an intellectual treat is expected in the lecture to be delivered by Dr. Thomae, entitled—"Off days in a busy life." Admission—adults, 20 eta.; children, 10 cts. This will be an excellent oppor- tunity for Wingham citizens to hear this distinguished minister. Hockey. The local Hockey club played their schedule game in Northern League at Palmerston on Wednesday last and lost by the narrow margin of 1G to 11, in one of the fastest gamer eypr seen on Palmerston rink, The game, though toll of close checking anti fast combination rusher, was played with the best of good feeling and only fear men Were titled off for minor offences. At f time score Was 11 all, and in the extra 1Q minute* Delano of Paine- ereton threw a high one which in the dinxly.lighted Mink got past Headley and proved the winning goal, Mr. Meyers. of Listowel was referee and had little to do in the way of penaliz. Ing players. The poor light war partly the cause of the big *core and most of goals were scored on long *hot, which could not be seen. For Wingham team—McLean, Fleming and Elliott played a fast rotnbiiiation game, and for Palmerston, Graham and Delano?' shots were always dangerous. Wing. ham boys were anew -bound in :Palm.

This cer- tainly should prove an attraction, Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the Junior branch of the ''Woman's Auxiliary, for the election of officers, was held in the school -room of St. Paul's church on Wednesday, January 13. The officers elected for the ensiling year were as follows :—President—•Miss Corbould let. Vice-Pres.—Miss O. Van$tone; 2nd Vice-Pres.—Miss A. Fitzpatrick; Rec.- Sec.—Miss Laura Martin ; Cor. -Sec,•— Miss N. VanStone; Treasurer—Miss May Smith ; Board of Management -- Mrs. R. Beattie and Mrs, W. F, Van - Stone. Huron 01d Boys. At the annual meeting of the Huron Old Boys held at the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, the following officers were elected ;—Hon. Presidents—Col. W. D. Otter, Mr. Justice Robertson, Mr. Justice (arrow, J. S. Willison, H. MacMath, E. Bloody, E. J. B. Duncan; President—G. A. Smith, B. A.; Vice- President—S. T, Church ; Secretary— A. A.

Electric Light. J. B. Ferguson, Town Clerk, gives notice by 'advertisement, in this issue, that users of electric light will be charged for all repairs, renewals, sup- plies, etc. Parties interested should remember this and read the notice carefully. When the Town took over the plant, a few were paying a "flat" rate and others were on the metre system, and we understand, it is still thus. The man that le on the metre system pays for every hour he uses even one lamp, but the man who en- joys a "flat" rate may use every lamp in bis house for every minute the plant is in operation ; in his case abundance of light costs no more, and few will be economical in such a case, Tata is not fair; every man, rich or poor, should be put on the same system and pay the same rate. The Executive com- mittee will no doubt remove this in- equality of rate as soon as possible. The material is on hand for the street light extensions, but the severe weath- er put a stop to the work of extending the light. What It Costs 1 perhaps in no single industry bas the advantages of advertising been more clearly proven than in placing on the market the many cereal break- fast foods now so generally used. A market can be created and kept in existence only by persistent advertis- ing. It costs from $400 to $800 in ad- vertieing to sell $1,000 worth of break- fast foods. The man who makes wheat -coffee, spent, last year, $384,000 in advertising in 800 newspapers and 80 magazines, and this year he is spending a million dollars, The inaker of shredded wheat spends $700,000 a year for publicity. Another paid $5,000 for the privilege of paint- ing the name of bis product on a big chimney in lower New York that can be seen from all the North River ferry- boats, He has for months kept before the public eye a comic figure and some *twinging rhymes, and has made all 4rneriee and England laugh, The laugh has cost the manufacturer hun- dreds of thousands of dollars, but it goes without saying that it pays or he would not keep at it, WANTS)) - All kinds trade ; Dried Apples 6e.

In connection with this Fair there will be an Auction Sale of such stock, im- pletnente, furniture, etc., as may be brought in for sale. W. A. Currie, auctioneer, will be on hand, and ar- rangements can be made either with him or with the proprietor of Hotel Brunswick, at whose stables the Fair and Sale will be held. To Alberta. Mr. W. R. Cantolon of Turnberry left on Wednesday of this week for his new home near Pincher Creek, southern Alberta, where he has taken up land. He goes to erect a dwelling and break up the prairie, thus to lay the foundation of what we trust will prove a comfortable home. His family will follow later. The climate there is milder than in Ontario, and cattle graze outside all the year round. They have occasional light snow -falls, but the "beautiful" soon disappears under the influence of warm wind and sun, Mr. 0. will be only a few miles from a railway, and there is no doubt he will do well in the great west ; we sincere- ly hope that he will. He will be missed by many in the vicinity of Bluevale, especially by the Methodist Church, where he was for a tong time leader of the choir and orchestra. The Advance will visit him weekly in Alberta and thus keep him in touch with the old Ontario home. Social. Sunday last, the deg for the special offering to cancel the last payment on the Pipe organ in Wingham Metho- dist Church, turned ant so stormy that scarcely one-third of the usual con- gregation was present. Nevertheless, the offerings were in many cases liberal and amounted to about $285 out of the $336, necessary to be raised to fulfil conditions and receive the $100 promised by Mr. W. H. Green. Had the day been fine, there is no doubt the whole amount would have been raised. On Monday, Messrs, Kerr and Greer, two of the Commit- tee, set out to secure the balance, and we are pleased to say that they suc- ceeded, so that this evening (Thurs- day) the pipe organ will be presented to the Trustee Board free of debt, at a social gathering held for the purpose. At 8 p. m. Rev. R. Hobbs of Strath- roy will deliver a lecture, entitled "The Manly Man." Other interesting numbers are on the program, and at the close refreshments will be served. Admission -15 cts.; children, 10 cts. Everybody cordially invited. Yon can get Weston's, of Toronto, high-class Biscuits, such as Macaroons, Vanilla Wafers, Lady Finger, whole wheat and other lines at L. G. Kruse', Mcgelvie's old stand. The Storm. Last week's storm completely de- moralized the train service on the Grand Trunk. Listowel reported as follows on Friday last—"The train service is completely blocked in this district. We have had no mail nor trains for two days. A freight train of 32 cars and four or five engines are stuck in the snosv between here and Milverton, and ten engines and some cars of stook between here and Gow- anstotvn, while two engines with a plough spent the night in a snowbauk a few miles north of thio town, Sev- eral cars of stock are lying in the yard here, Two passenger cars got in yes- terday, and the people have been liv- ing wi ho t fog at the h in r t u tell pros pect of getting away tin to -morrow at least. One engine in ploughing through the snots got its front truck off the rail and smashed the rail into three pieces, The heavy snow on Thursday night filled up the cute solid, and while the railway company have put on a large gang of shoveliere, it will take some days to clear the road." Add to this condition of the road, the storm of Sunday last, autl a worse state of affairs could scarcely be iniag- f Wed, Two hundred tnen Were at Work on Monday shovelling snow between Wingham and .Kincardine. Carloads of hog* have been lying in Palmerston for several days, delayedby the storm.

The annual county meeting of North Huron L, 0, L. will be bold in the Lodge room of No. 794,, on Tuesday next, February 2nd. Let there be a good attendance, as the election of officers will take place, and the place of celebration of July 12th decided on. Meeting convenes at 11 a. m, --W. J. Greer, County Master. County Council. Huron County Council is in session, this week, that is if the members sue- ceeded in getting tbrough the snow- drifts lying thickly athwart the paths between their homes and the Council Chamber, Goderich. Mr. S. W, Fer- guson of Lakelet gave the Advance a call on Tuesday, on his way thither. Mr. Ferguson thinks that so far as Huron county is concerned, there will be a change from the present system of electing County Councillors and that the municipalities will signify their desire tobe represented in Coun- ty Council by the Reeves of the town- ships and Mayors of towns. The re- sult will be that next year Huron County Council will consist of twenty- six members instead of sixteen, which means greater expense, but the repre- sentation of each municipality at the Council Board, though it does not necessarily follow that the btuinees will be more satisfactorily transacted. Fon SALE.—The 7 room dwelling and I acre lot with fine outbuildings and orchard, situated at 110 Shuter St. E., for $1500.00 cash. Possession on May lot, 1904. Address—Mrs. E. E. Forster, Charleston, Mo. Sad News. Mr. W. H. Cruickshank of Turn - berry received a telegram Teat week announcing the death of Mr. Hubbard, in Labrador. Mr, Hubbard was sent out by the publishers of the magazine known by the name of "Outing" pub- lished in New York city, to write up au account of the Indians of Labrador. Mrs. Hubbard is a sister of Mrs. Cruickshank. The only particulars available are those contained in the despatch to the dailies, which is as follows : Word was received at Quebec on Friday last from Chateau Bay, on the Labrador coast that a courier had arrived there on Thursday, from North-West River, with the informa- tion that Mr. Hubbard, of the explor- ing party sent out by "Outing," of New York, had died from starvation in the wilds of Labrador, on Oct. 18th last, and that the remain:) were on their way to Quebec by dog train, with the other members of the expedi- tion, which expected to reach Chateau Bay some time in March. North- West River is several hundred miles below Chateau Bay. The telegram instructed Mr. Orutkshank to write to a firm in New York for particulars. The place where the sad event happen- ed is eight hundred miles from a tele- graph office. Hicks' Forecasts. The first storm period for February extends from the lst to the 4th, being central on the Int, and having its be- ginning in January, By the lat a marked change to warmer will be passing from west to east over the country. About the 2nd to the 4th general rains may be expected in the south, with winter lightning and thun- der on and abort the 4th. Behind the area of warmth, rain and low barome- ter, a genuine blizzard is apt to some out of the northwest, and follow the track of low barometric pressure far into the south and east. Be on the outlook for snow and blizzard very early in this period, in western and northern sections, The same storm center, as it moves across the country from west to east, will induce heavy northeasterly gales and blizzards along the north Atlantic and in Canada. This is a time when one of the most general and destructive sleet storms of the winter may be counted on, and the culminating stages will be on and touching the 4th. The second storm period will be central on the bah, 7th and 8th. Owing to the pressure of the Mercury disturbance, the very low barometer and general storm condi- tions prevailing at the previous or first storm period, may not disappear at the normal Unita but run into the re- actionary period. In anch event, vio- lent storms of rain, sleet and snow will develop sand run their courses shoat the 8th, 7th and 8tii. One of the most general and severe cold waves of the winter need not be a surprise, as a sequel to the stoma and very low barometer at this time. At both the storm p"riele within the Mercury brace all proper vigilance should be practiced against the probabilities of disagreeable, if not dangerous winter storms, A change to warmer will set in to the west about the 11th, and storms (drain, turning to snow at the last, will take their course eastward across the coantry during the 12th to 16th. The 4ioon in apogee on the 15th and at new on the 16th, will tend to draw the perturbations of this period a day or two later, But if winds shift to northerly, and the barometer rises sufficient to bring change to much colder about the 18th and 14th, the new A1oon on the kith will lend ite in- fluence to the reactionary period fol- lowing. The probabilities for the re- mainder of the month will be given in another home. ylle Independent. li»attloy yonreelf, Bsltabllelt 'It, btlsleesa.
