The Wingham Advance, 1905-12-07, Page 133RD YEAR, NO. 15.
FOR DISTANT SUBSCRIBERS.
Many subscriptions for the
Advance from those who live
in the Northwest and in the
United. States, expire with the
last issue in this month. Of
these, only a very few are in
arrears, but unless the arrears.
are paid and renewal made for
1900, in good time, the paper
will bo discontinued. We can-
not send the Advance on credit
to parties living so far away,
and pay postage into the bar-
gain. We have done so at
times, and the result has been
that the postmaster has notified
us that the party has "Re-
moved," we know not where.
We wish to retain all our dis-
tantiu but ask
subscribers, cis,wea
them to renew promptly. The
label will show the date to
which their copy of the Ad-
vance is paid.

Correction in Figures.
Ali ht error in figures occurred in
the communication ilst week's Ad-
vance, regarding the High School
question. The writer of the letter
says :-
DEAR SIR :-To be absolutely
accurate in regard to the cost of
the erection of a High School, per-
mit me to say that the statement
-"a little less than one mill" ----
should react -"a little more than
one mill,. The present. e sed
asgs
value of the town is $670,000, and
accordingly the $740 required each
year to meet Sinking fund and
interest, would mean an increase
of abont one mill and one ninth
of a mill.

successful in Seaforth.
The statistics of loss of lives and
vessels on the lakes this season are
appalling. Over,fifty ships were de-
stroyed and scores of others badly
damaged in the storms, while the loss
of life totals op 122. The monetary
loss will be over $5,000,000, snaking
the season of 1905 one of the most dis-
astrous ia the history of shipping on
the lakes.

from the tomb with the mourners and
refuses to be buried is character.
That is true. What a man Is, survives
hits. It never can be buried. It
stays about the house where Itis foot-
steps are heard no more. It lives in
the community where he was known
hence we should take care to build in-
to our character only beautiful
things.

Successful There.
Municipal ownership in Brockville
is a paying investment judging from
the report of the past year's operation
of the light and power department,
taken over by the town five, years ago.
The revenue from gas and electricity
amounted to $40,965.00, an increase of
$10,871.08 over the first year's revenue.
The operating expenses were 584,450.-
29, leaving a clear gain of $0,508,77.
Every account of the past year was
collected with the exception of $0.
The street lighting has been greatly
improved and the cost of gas and
electricity reduced, thereby increasing
the number of consumers.
Be sure and spend your money
where you get the most, and best
value for it -that place is at the
Bankrupt Sale, Ritchie's Old Stand.
Women's Institute.
A very successful meeting of the
West Huron Women's Institute was
held iu the Chisholm hall, Wingham,
Dec. 5th. Mrs, F. French of Clinton,
President of the West Huron
Women's Institnte presided and pave
an excellent address. Mrs. Colin
Campbell of Goderich General Sec. of
tho society, gave a very instructive
demonstration on "Cooking." At the
close of the meeting, the Wingham
branch of the Women's Institute was
re -organized, and will hold their first
meeting the first Thursday in Jan.,
1906, at the home of Mrs, 0. Gillespie,
Sec. -Treasurer. Mrs, W. Bone, Presi-
dent,
le Markdale.
The Markdale Standard has the fol-
lowing, referring to, a son of T. K.
Powell of Turnberry-"Mr. F. E.
Powell of London took charge of the
Christ Church appointment here and
also St. Matthias Church, Berkeley, on
Sunday, until his ordination in June.
To quote exalted authority -"the
people heard him gladly" He uses no
furbelows ; abhors fuss ; is without
fads. Yet his sermons are true and
rich, and them are the embroideries
that give color and_ pathos -to the web
of his discourse. Mr. Powell, who is
quite a young man, gives the promise
of potency and sway in the town; and
is already very popular. We wish
hien the fullness of blessings, as in-
cumbent and as a citizen."

cheerfully, and expressing himself as
anxious to see the continued pros-
perity of No. 794.
Reception And Entertainment.
An enjoyable time was spent in the
school room of St. Paul's church, on
Tuesday evening, under the auspices
of the Anglican Young People's As-
sociation, It afforded an excellent op-
portunity for citizens of the town and
members of other Churches, to extend
a welcome to Rev. T. S. Boyle, the
new Rector, and also to Mrs. Boyle.
There was a large attendance, and all
appeared to enjoy the social evening.
Mr. H. Davis occupied the Chair ; the
program consisted of -Instrumental
clues by 11'isses Orr and Linklater;
Solo, by Miss Knox ; Reading by Miss
Brock ; Solo by Mr. Cline ; Solo by
Miss Griffin, and addresses by Revs.

Wingharn, and the Rector, Rev. T. S.
Boyle. It was pleasing to see the
fraternal spirit existing between the
Churches, as indicated. by the pre-
sence of resident ministers, and the
kind wishes and greetings extended
to the new Rector. The program
closed with the benediction by Rev.
Dr. Gundy, after which refreshments
were served, and social conversation
became general.

tainable at Belgrave postoffiee store.
The Standpipe.
Material for the Standpipe began to
arrive last week, and by Saturday
night the steel bottom was in its place
upon the solid cement base, ready for
the superstructure. The plates are
bent so that four of them make the
circle, about six feet high ; each plate
possibly seventeen feet long. As the
diameter of the Standpipe is eighteen
feet, the circumference must be sixty
feet, or thereabouts. The thickness
of the plates varies froun five-eighths of
an inch in the bottom circles to three-
€ ighths at the upper ones. The plates
weigh about 1500 lbs. each, so that the
four forming one circle of six feet in
height, weigh about three tons. As
the pipeis to be eighty feet high,
the
metal will probably weigh over forty
tons, counting the very large number
of bolts. The bolts are rivetted by
means of compressed air. As a circle
of plates six feet high is completed, it
is tested for leakage. Water is ad-
mitted as required, and a floating
platform on the inside brings the
workmen up to the necessary height,
the platform rising as the water is ad-
mitted. Unless the weather continues
mild, there will be cold fingers before
the work is completed.

Death of Mr. A. Roe.
This week, we have to record the
death of Mr. Alfred Roe, proprietor of
the Queen's hotel in this town. De-
ceased was born at Newboro, Leeds
county, and learned the trade of a
ship -carpenter. At the time of the
mold excitement, he went to the
Cariboo mining district, but his
health failing, only remained two
years. He then became manager of
the store and gristmill belonging to
Mr. Gamble, .51. P., Pine Grove.
Later, for eight years, he and his
brother were in partnership in busi-
ness in Woodbridge. They removed
to Chicago, and engaged in the whole-
sale grocery business, but it ere burnt
out, in the awful conflagration of 1875.
Mr. Roe returned to Canada and in
1880, opened the Queen's hotel, Brus-
sels, and three years later came to
Wingham. He believed in keeping a
quiet, orderly house, and the Queen's
has-been a favorite with the travelling
public. He was of a benevolent dis-
position, and rano in real need ap-
pealed to hint in vain. In 1866, he
was united in marriage to Miss Sten -
mann, who died in September, 1900.
About five years ago, he was seized
with paralysis. A second stroke, a
short time ago, again shattered his
weakened frame, and on Friday last
he passed away, aged 07. He leaves
one daughter, Mrs, Geo. Duffield, and
two sons -Joseph, of San Francisco,
and George, proprietor of the Queen's
hotel. Tho funeral took place on Sim -
day, Rev. T. S. Boyle conducting the
funeral service,
Not In That Class.
Recently we met with the following
description of the non-progressive
town :--
Did you ever hear of the town
of "No Good," on the banks of the
river "Slow," where the "some-
time -or -other" scents the air and
the soft "go-ensies" grow ? It lies
in the valley of "What's the Use,"
in the province of "Let Her Slide,"
it's the hone of reckless "I Don't
Care where the. "Give -it -ups"
"
, p
as abide. The town is va old as the
human race, loud it grew with the
flight of years. It is wrapped in
the fug of the idlers dreams ; its
streets are paved with disordered
schemes and are sprinkled with
useless tears,
Now, no one, not even with a disor-
dered imagination, would dream of
applying such a description to the
iprogressive town of 'Wingham, with
ts busy factories and large Stove
foundry ; its ten or twelve miles of
granolithic sidewalks, its improved
waterworks system, its excellent rail-
way facilities, its new G. 1. R. station,
and fine government building, the
new postoflice, etc., etc. Neverthe-
less, the establishment of a High
School would give ns a prestige and
position that Wo do not now enjoy,
and Oust Cannot be secured in any
other way. Think it over. The bet-
ter you can stake your town, the
more valuable is your own property
in that town. Make it a desirable
town in which to reside, by every
means in your power. Let its educa-
tional advantages be at least equal to
many smaller towns and even some
villages,
The ladies of "Wingham will find a
nice assortment of Xmas. presents
suitable for theirentlemen friends,
weltaas fancy and doth Slippers, Ties,
Neck Scarfs, ifandketiehiefs, etc., at
the Bankrupt Salta,
Fire In Palmerston,
A tire occurred on Sunday morning
last, in the brick block owned by J.
W. Scott, of Palmerston. J, W.
Taman's gentlemen's fin nishing_ store
was completely gutted. The office of
9t'. Greenlaw adjoining was also bad-
ly datnaged. Mr, G. H, Donaldson's
residence was partially destroyed, and
the household goods badly damaged
by fire and water. Mr. Taman's loss
is only partly covered by insurance,
Deal At Home,
Loyalty to home merchants is a
charrtaterrstic that every true citizen
should possess. A person who spends
his money out of town for articles
that can he bought 'at home, indirect-
ly robs himself in the end. Keep the
money in circulation in yont own
town, and incidentally it will come
back to you in some form or other, or
in its equivalent, The city dealers
simply throw out the bait, smile at
the catch and put the cash down in
their pockets -they do not return one
cent. On the other hand, the home
,merchants pay back a large percent-
age in taxes and local improvements.
If you would build up your town,
patronize the local merchants,
Anniversary Services.
The Anniversary services of Wing -
ham Methodist Church will be held
next Sunday. Rev. Rich. Hobbs of
Strathroy, will preach on Sunday at
11 a. m. and 7 p. in,; collections at
each service in aid of the Trustee
Board funds, On the following Mon-
day evening, the Ladies'Aid will serve
tea in the Lecture room, from 5.30 to
8 o'clock. Following this, there will
be a program of addresses and music,
given in the auditorium. The Choir
will furnish a good selection of music ;
Miss Estelle Griffin has kindly consen-
ted to assist in the programme, and
Mr. Gibb will render selections on the
violin. .A. pleasing and also interest-
ing feature of the evening will be the
"Burning of the Mortgage," which
has recently been discharged. The
church was erected through the per-
severing energy of Rev. R. Hobbs,
aided by the liberality of a people
loyal to their church interests, and no
one has a better right to the pleasing
task of cremating the mortgage, than
Rev. R. Hobbs. The Trustee Board
had not a single dollar on hand where-
with to build, when the enterprise
was launched. The church cost, in-
cluding the organ, over $20,000, and
is now free of debt. The corner stones
were laid May 24th, 1901, and the
opening services were held in Febru-
ary, 1902. It is indeed creditable to
the congregation, that iu so short a
time, the whole debt should have been
wiped out. Hence, an especial in-
terest attaches to the approaching
anniversary services.
