His shaggy head of hair and disreputable looking lieard of a week's growth had a chilling eftect upon the lovely maiden and she coldly repuls- ed his advances. The man felt liad, but if he liad placed himselt iu the hands of Booth, the Boss Barber, of Flesher- ton, and got his hair cut and his beard shaved heforf "popping tho question," 110 lady could have resisted his charms. Now is the titue to renew your snb Kcriptions to the Advance for 1H88. Most of our subscribers can show a clcau sheet. Will all of our readers kindly commence tho New Year iu the same way ? It is only a small amount and will cause you no inconvenience ; at the same time you will have the con- sciousness that you are aiding your F^d- itor to meet large paymeuts now matur- ing in connection with recent building operations. If every sultscriber on our list would only pay in advance before the 15th .January, we would feel like sending Thk .â- \uvance free to them for six months during the year 1889 1 Prepare for the holidays by getting a first-claM hair cut, shave, and shampoo at Booth, the "Boss" Barber's. Flesher- ton. It is worth the money to sit in his magnificent easy chair, without counting in the hair cut, shave or sham- (KX). Ladies can get their hair trim- mod iu the latest styles of the tonsorial art. Gentlemen with long and unkempt beards will scarcely recognise thenisel. ves in the looking glass after having subjected the said l>cardH to the dexter- ous mauipulatious of Booth, who wiU trim them in the most elegant manner and in any style they may require. Re- mcmlier liis shop is next to Clayton's boot and sIkmi emporium and just oppo- site Leitch's tailoring establishment. A most absurd mistake crept into oar "Tit-Bits" columns last week, in which it was announced that Mr. Watkins, brother of Mrs. ShiJton, was visiting at the Miithodist parsonage. The mistake was the Editor's this time, and not "mat U^rrible com)H)sitor's. " We noticed a gentleman walking up street with the estet'iued Methodist clergyman here, just before going to press on Wednesday, and having imderstootl a week or two previous, that Mr. Watkins watt ex|>«ct- ed to visit Cmada ahurtly. (ell into the blunder quite readily â€" and the more es- (wcially as a certain young geutleman confirmed our impression ; lind, besides, we bad no time for making enquiries bo- fore printing the papers. A fellow can be too previous sometimes in his endea. vors to furnish his reader* with live K largo and pleasant gathering of members and others asseiOblod at the Baptist ])arsoDago, Fleshertun, on Fri- day evening. The pastor. Rev. T. Wat- son, is a very sociable gentleman, and be was pleaso<I with the friendly visit, although unable to divine the cause. At lengtli Mr. R. Knight and Mr. J. E. .Moore approacheil him â€" the forqier U'ariiig a splendid fur coat on his arm â€" and III the most informal and grace- fid manlier, the coat was transferred to the ]>opular Baptist pastor, accom- panicni by a few pleasant and appropri- ate words l>y each of the gentlemen, on U'lialf of niembers of the congregation. .Mrs. Watson was also made the recip- ient of a nice present lu au equally in- rornml iiinnner, Later in the evening, Uev.
