Picnic Excursion.
Civic holiday, on Tnesda y last, was
one of the finest days of the season
and an ideal one for the lake shore.
The Sunday School excursion was the
event of the clay, and the first train of
ten coaches left Wingham witli over
a thousand passengers ; scores of them
were happy children' full of expecta-
tion for an enjoyable day, nor were
they ,disappointed. A little later a
second train, of eight coaches well
loaded, came along, bound also for
Kincardine. It is estimated that
about 2,500 visitors thronged the park
at the lakeside and thoroughly en-
joyed the day. Wingham Citizens'
Band accompanied the excursion, and
Kincardine Band turned out to wel-
come the visitors. Wingham and
Kincardine lacrosse teams played a
game, the victory going to Kincardine
by a score of 4-1. Three rinks of
Wingham Bowlers played with Kin-
cardine and carried off the laurels.
The excursionists returned in the
evening;• every one appearing to 'have
had a good time. Kincardine kindly
gave free use of the park, furnished
hot water fm tea and coffee, and con-
veyed the baskets from the station to
the park and back, so that the lake-
side town did its part. The excursion
and picnic were a grand success.
There were 1013 tickets sold at Wing -
ham station.

Band Garden Party.
Wingham Citizens' Band have ar-
ranged for a Garden Patty on the
park, on Thursday, 10th inst. These
events under the auspices of the Band
have been very enjoyable and the one
now announced will, no doubt, be
equally successful,
Swallowed A Pin.
The Southampton Beacon says :-
One year ago last Monday a young
lady of Southampton swallowed a pin.
It stuck in her throat and she went
immediately to a doctor. The pin,
however, could not be found and in a
few days the annoyance ceased and
caused no more trouble. On Sunday
last, while out driving, this young
lady was suddenly attacked by a fit of
coughing, which lasted several min-
utes and resulted in the coughing up
of that, pin which site had swallowed
one year ago, lacking one day. This
story can be vouched for.
To Michigan.
Mr. Frank Hill leaves this week for
Calumet, Michigan. Frank is a valu-
ed member of the Methodist Choir,
and is an excellent singer. His bass
solos are always well rendered, ap-
propriate, and have been appreciated
by the congregation. Soule trained
singers utter their words so indistinct-
ly, that it is difficult to know what
they are singing, but Mr. Hill has
avoided that serious defect. His ut-
terance is distinct, and his renderings
of sacred songs have been very ef-
fective and helpful. He gave two
fine solos on Sunday last. The Ad-
vance wishes hint success, in his new
hone. He will be much missed in the
choir of which he has been a useful
and faithful member.

Minister Resigns.
On Sunday morning last, at the
close of the service in the Baptist
church, the pastor, Rev. J. N. McLean,
B. A., announced his resignation. We
understand that the announcement
came as a surprise to the congrega-
tion. Mr. McLean has had charge of
the Baptist Church her
e for the past
two years, and was appreciated as a
preacher, and highly esteemed not
only by his own congregation but by
our citizens generally. We are in-
formed that the resignation takes
effect in September, and that Mr. Mc-
Lean intends returning to College to
prosecute his studies still further.
The congregation has not as yet taken
action but their desire expressed
would be for the pastor to remain
with thein.
Trouble After Trouble.
Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Cornyn of De-
troit, mourn the death of their son
Harold. The little fellow was 2i years
old, and while his parents were gone
out a few inometts, he wandered out
and fell in the edge of Pine lake and
was found ten minutes
later with life
extinct. Mr. Cornyn is a nephew of
Wtn, Cornyn of Wingharn and is em-
ployed as canvasser for the Farming-
ton Enterprise, and that paper says -
Mr. and Mrs. Cornyn hare had more
than their share of trouble in bring-
ing up their children. Out of three
children only one survives, a boy of
six year's. He suffered the loss of an
eye on account of a fourth of July
celebration a year ago last fourth. Dr.
Campbell, of Detroit, removed the
right eye to save the other. The
other child was a girl. She was buried
just a year ago Sunday.
Hicks For August.
Rev. Irl Hicks' predictions for Aug-
ust are very lengthy, occupying over
three columns in Word and Works.
We condense them for the benefit of
our readers. Cloudiness and general
storm conditions extend front 4th to
Oth, and rain with wind and thunder
will pass eastwardly across the coun-
try. By the 8th these will have passed
and fair cooler weather will prevail.
A vtilcan storm period extends from
14th to 10th, and storms of wind and
thunder need not surprise any one,
especially towards the 18th. Earth-
quakes and tidal waves will be report-
ed. The 23rd, 24th and 25th are rear-
tionary storm dates and may bring a
crisis of summer warmth, followed by
decidedly cool weather, with almost a
frosty temperature in some parts to
the Northwest. The last week in the.
month brings a storm period which
may be fraught with violent or dan-
gerous probabilities on all southern
waters and coasts exposed to hurri-
canes and cyclones, The crisis of this
period will fall within 48 hours of 6
o'clock a. tn. on the 30th. Violent
stomas aro apt to sweep over the nor•
thern States and much of Canada, A
very cool wave with tendency to frost
will mark the early days of Septem-
ber.

Business Booming,
Business appears to he prosperous at
the Western Foundry, and the man-
ager, Mr, J. Cunningham, looks cor-
respondingly happy. Two carloads of
stoves were shipped on Tuesday to
Toronto, and sixty-five stoves on
Wednesday to Winnipeg. Order's
came in this week: for two carloads to
a Toronto firm, so that business is
booming over at the foundry, May it
continue to do so.
Killed By The Train.
On Friday morning last, as the G.
T. R. train from Durham to Toronto
was passing a crossing near Mt.
Forest, Mrs. Curran and her daugh-
ter, about twenty years of age, were
struck by the train. Mrs. Curran was
killed and her daughter sustained
severe injuries, being hurled some dis-
tance and rendered unconscious. The
horse was killed and the buggy re-
duced to kindling wood.
Offered 510,000.
We have it on good authority that.
Messrs. Bolt and Adams, of Wing -
ham, are likely to have handsome re-
turns for the product of their in-
genuity h. the invention they have
recently patented, the Dustless Sifter.
We understand, that although it has
scarcely been advertised to any ex-
tent, the patentees have been offered
$10,000 for their rights. This is evi-
dence that the Sifter has merits that
are considered likely to make it sell
well. Evidently Messrs. Bolt and
Adams have struck a good thing, and
there is money in it.
A Soapy Trick.
A man and his wife played a trick
nn Walkerton people last week.
They sold little sticks of soap done up
in scented paper, and did a lively busi-
nese for a few days. They were sum-
moned before the magistrate for ped-
dling without a license, told then the
woman gave the trick away. What
they diel was to buy, a bar of ordinary
soap at a grocery store. Taking it
into their room, by means of a tin
punch, they manufactured from this
one bar, 75 little sticks, to be offered
for sale to the public. The next step
in the process was to wrap each of
these little sticks in a printed label,
and then to sprinkle a little highly -
scented powder over it. They made a
good many "sticks" out of a bar of
soap, and their profits were large.
See that they don't work the game in
Wingham.
A little forethought may save you
no end of trouble. Anyone who makes
it a rule to keep Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy at
hand knows this to be a fact. For
sale by all druggists.

Wedding And Baptism.
A very pretty house wedding took
place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Moore (formerly of Wingham)
25 Pacific avenue, Toronto Junction,
on Wednesday, July 26th, when their
daughter, Miss Irene, was united itt

Worth Remembering,
The Scientific American says if you
are afraid of lightning, here is a very
simple safeguard to remember. Sim-
ply put on your gum shoes or rubbers
and then stand lip so that you won't
touch anything. Whether you are in
doors or out of door's, you're perfectly
safe, for rubber is a non-conductor
and yon are perfectly insulated, This
is worth remembering.
Enjoying The Trip.
Mrs. W. H. Green writes the Ad.
vance a few notes, from Fort William,
as she and her family were on their
way to Rainy River. She writes -
"We left Wingham on Tuesday, July
25th and arrived in Owen Sound at
1.30. We were stet by Mrs. Neil
Haines and accorded a hearty wel-
come. After dinner, we took a stroll
around town and at 5.30 p.m. boarded
the Alberta for the trip np the lakes;
we stopped at the Soo for about
twenty minutes, and also called at
Port Arthur, reaching Fort William
about two o'clock Thursday. The
weather was fine, the sailing smooth,
and the accommodation all that could
he desired. There were 170 pas-
sengers and everybody seemed happy.
We had lots of singing and music,
and we were sorry when we had to
leave the boat, I write this as we are
waiting for the Northern train. We
expect to reach La Vallee on Friday
morning, where we meet our friends,
Mr. and Mrs. McTavish.

A Useful Machine.
A south Carolina roan is said to
have invented a machine that will
revolutionize the art, of building, in
addition to cheapening the cost of con.
struction and lessening the time neces-
sary for the erection of brick struc-
tures. The machine in question lays
brick. It is claimed by those who
have seen the machine that it will lay
brick with all the skill of the most ac-
complished bricklayer, with perfect
accuracy and with a rapidity that
discounts the human hands. The re-
port is to the effect that with two or
three men operating the machine, sup-
plying it with brides and mortar, that
it will do the work of a dozen brick-
layers in a course of a day, carrying
up a wall as if by magic. It is further
claimed that the machine can be
easily and quickly regulated so asto
skip wherever it is desired to leave
doors and windows, doing the work
with seeming human intelligence. It
is also said that the machine is not
complicated, will not easily get out of
order, and is in every way a practical
and useful invention, sure to conte in-
to general use by contractors.
Removed To Goderich.
Mr. Park and family have removed
this week to Goderich, where Mr.
Park has arranged to engage in busi-
ness. While we regret to lose any of
our good citi-
zens, yet we
sincerely hope
that Mr. Park
will find busi-
ness in the
county town
fully up to his
expectations,
and that the
social relations
will be agreea-
ble, as no doubt
they will be, Mr. Park has been an
active church worker, and for many
years was leader of the choir, a mem-
ber of the Trustee Board, the Quarter-
ly Board, and assistant -superinten-
dent of the Sunday school. In all
these positions, he was a faithful
worker. In the Sunday school, his
excellently executed crayon iltustin-
tions of the lessons have been interest-
ing and helpful, and he will be missed
in the positions he has faithfully filled.
On Sunday last, the officers and teach-
ers of the school presented Mr. Park
with a large Teacher's Bible and a
Methodist Hymn Book, both beauti-
fully bound. These mementos of es-
teem were accompanied by the follow-
ing address:-
Wingham, July 30th, 1005
Halsey Park, Esq.,
Wingham, Ont.
DEAR Sin AND Bun. :• ---We the offi-
cers, teachers and members of the
Wingharn Methodist Sunday School,

you have always taken in the school.
In the various positions, as Assistant
Superintendent, etc., you have held

done your part in helping forward its

dered in the preparation of the erayon
illustrations on each Sunday's lessons.
These works of art have been appro.
ciated by all. We wish you and Mrs.
Park every prosperity, both tempor-
ally and s piritualty itt your new home.

NOTE AND COMMENT.
-Never trust a secret to the mails
(or to the females, either for that mat-
ter.)
-Montreal is the largest banking
centre in Cannula ; Toronto second,
Winnipeg third, Ottawa fottrtb.
--Lori] Roberts, who, it was expect-
ed, would be one of the attractions at
the Toronto fair, now announces that
he does not expect to be able to visit
Canada at all.
The Minister of Inland Revenue,
Hon. Mr, Brodeur, is going to dis-
tribute in the Public schools of the
Dominion, booklets explaining the
metric system of measurement.
-Editor McDonald of the Chesley
Enterprise is a good Liberal, but the
"salary grab" was too heavy a dose
for him, and he writes thus ;-"In fut-
ure every line of praise in this paper
for any politician will cost 10 cents.
We are disgusted with the whole
bunch at Ottawa."
-Canadians now pay a premier
$12,000 a year for doing things and a
leader of the opposition $7,000 per
annum for seeing that he don't do
things. -Hamilton Spectator. Yes,
and at the next election, the electors
will "do things" and won't charge
anything for their services either.
-It is estimated that sixty-nine per
cent. of the deaths front infectious
diseases in Ontario result from tuber-
colosis. Yet very few take alarm
where consumption is in a communi-
ty. Small -pox is not nearly so dead-
ly, but let a single case appear in a
township, and there is almost a
panic.
-W. F. McLean, M.P., proprietor
of the Toronto World, has donated
the $1,000 increase in his salary to the
Sick Children's Hospital. W. 3. Tel-
ford, M.P. for North Grey, has given
half of his increase to the Agricultnral
Society in that riding. That a few
choose to distribute the extra pay in
this way does not justify the "grab."
-Anthony Butt of Philadelphia
died 46 years ago, but the records
show that he has voted for years since
his demise, in the ward in which he
used to live. It was not discovered
that he really was dead until he was
summoned on the jury, and failed to
answer the summons. It was then
ascertained that while a man who
died 46 years ago might vote, he cer-
tainly could not serve on the jury.
-Now the Farmers' Advocate takes
a whack at the Government that is
scattering Canada's millions with such
a lavish hand, The Advocate says :-
"A few weeks ago the Postmaster -
General, some private members of
Parliament and a lot of newspaper
organs were rolling up their eyes in
a fine spasm of economy when it
was resolved to turn down the pro-
posal to give the farmer free rural
mail delivery. Such ruinous ex-
travagance was not to be thought of
for one moment, but the scene
changed with lightning rapidity
when a huge salary grab came to be
rushed through in the dying hours
of Parliament. It was a case of
"Help ourselves, there's money to
burn," and friends and foes (politi-
cally) joined in a generous saw -off,
hut the farmer was not in it. He
comes in handy to grow the crops
that foot the bills, but if he doesn't
want to walk six miles three clays
a week for his 'tail after a harder
clay's work than most M. P.'s per-
form, he can hitch up the old gray
snare to the buckboard."

Your Choice
of Perfumes
Might with advantage be
made from oar showing.
That's so for quite a number
of reasons. One of them is,
that our cheapest perfume is
PERFUME. It is grades a-
bove a lot of the stuff that
is called perfume, and which
is sold only because it costs
little. One thing should be
remembered while buying
perfume; it is this - a few
drops of a good lasting sort
will go further, and last
longer, than a pint of Berne
watery fluid clone up in a
pretty wrapper.
