On Monday Andrew Gilchrist fell off a plank in his mow, and as a result is nursing a broken arm, but is doing nicely. IJOh ! Oh!! Oh!!! The editor of the Monford Express gets rid of this, "we had to laugh along with the rest when we SEEN what had happened." Don't borrow your neighbor's copy of TThe Advance any more. Subscribe for it yoursvlf, and do away with all trouble. It gops the balance of tho year free. The proprietor Gunn of St. George's Hotel, Thornbury, repudiates tho story that ho was fined for selling lujuor. The Gunn "went off" after the report â€" rather the reverse of tho ordianry. Learned men tell us that in Latin the word "editor" means something "to eat." Generally the meaning is altogether different. It means to scratch around like blazes to get something to eat. We are informed that a sad shooting accident occurred not ten miles from Flesherton last week, when several partridge lost their lives. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of accidental shooting. Sundry sounds percolatiug from (he northern wilderness tell of the success of the annual slaughter of deer. But the moose hunters are beyond the mail ser- viceâ€"and best of all, beyond the reach of monthly "duns." Collingwood is in trouble with its band. Perhaps thty think they can keep a band. like the big military bauds, in that tovru. Forget it, and work up to a decent aggregation, rather than back down every year, Coliingwood. Talk about the last rose of summer ! We believe we have it. In our garden is a fool pUnt^that neuer knows when its day's work is done, but goes on blooming through snow, sleet, hail and rain, or any old weatheo condition. We have received a copy of The Barrie "Saturday Morning." This is a clean, well edited newspaper, on 6no stock and should meet with every success. Among the advertisers we nottce the name of Bert Flesher, an old Flesherton boy who is doing well in that town. We received F. T. Hill's and MoFar- land A Go's, changes of advt. on Tuesday night, too late fur insertion this week. We have repeatedly stated that all changes must be in by Tuesday forenoon to insure insertion. Mrs. Robinson's sentence has been oomniutod to ten years in the penitenti- ary. In view of the circumstances It â- was not thought wise to create a new precedent by granting a full pardon. O. M. Seira, thofounderof the Holstein Leader, will start a newspaper in Hep- worth in the near future. The village used to boast a newspaper, but it died. The field is not to be called a promising one, but hope springs eternal in 0. M's. breast. In fact it has to in almost any editor's breast. VVe wish him evei-y success, but There wore 600 new postoffices opened up in the horth west this year. Some of the new postmasters are not onto their job yet. Last week we got four pottil notes in one letter, but the postmaster (he was a poBtmisti-esa) had forgotten to stump them, so â- we bed to wait a little longer before being wealthy once more. Tho Canadian Club in Coliingwood will pass awiiy this winter. The Messenger says : Coliingwood, however is not a literary town, there are a few educated people, and a smaller number of the cultured class. We are a'l too busy chas- ing the almighty dollar to devote any time to Canadian or any other kind of a Club. The autumn breezes around The Ad- vance utttce t^ke the form of "drafts" from the bank â€" and as a fortification against these diafis only one thing is found to be effective. Many of our read- ers have this protection in their pockets still, as tliey will notice by glancing at the accounts we sent out last '.week, A word to the wise is sufficient. A meeting of citizens is called for Fri- day night in the town hall to discuss band mattei-s. The boys are confident that they can keep the band together and have a successful season ue.\.t summer, with the hearty support of the town people. Several persons wish to join, and there is a strong feeling against dis- bandment. Remember, it is a citizens' baud and everybody has a voice at tho meeting. Come out â- and elect a re- sponsible management which will give the boys the proper support and en- couragement. Everybody should make it a point to be present at S o'clock, that the meeting may not be delayed. News of The Women's Institute The Flesherton Bmnch of the Ontario Women's Institute will give a fowl supper in the upper Hat of W. A. Arm- strong's unoccupied store on Wednesdsy, Nov. 'J4. Supper from 6 to 8. A good programme will be rendered in the town hall, consisting of speeches, music, read- ings, etc. Keep the date open, Nov. 24. The October meeting of the V'andeleur Branch of the Women's Institute was hold at the home of Mrs. Jacob Holley. In .spite of the heavy raiti storm a majority of tho members were present. An excellent paper "How to Ttoat our Teachers" was given by Mrs. John Bol- and, Mrs. Rob. Holley gave a number of useful hints on "Table Manners." A report of the 3rd annual convention of Grey County Women's Institute was given by cur delegates, Mrs. J. I.Graham aud Mrs. Wn). Hutchinson. They thought that Mrs. Pettigrew expressed the sentiment of the speakers of that con- vention when, in her address of welcome, referring to our motto "For Home and Country", she said the best way to bene- fit our home and our country is to put God Urst in everything we do. Mrs. Edward Holley, a member of the Meaford Branch, who was present, gave a short .\ddress on the benefit of the Institute and expressed her pleasure in meeting with us again. Tho November meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Ed. Baker. Fenwick" Ellis. On Wednesday, Oct, 20, at the home of Mr. and Mrs, John McNally, Paisley, Miss Jane Etta Ellis, of the township of Kettig, county of Leeds, was united in marriage to Mr. Joseph 'Henry Fenwick of Port Elgin. Rev. Wray Smith, of Pamley, ministered the duties of the occasion. The happy couple entered tho parlor to the strains of music played by Mrs. (Rev.) Smith. They took their stand underneath an arch of evergreens, beautifully decorated for tho occasion. After the ceremony, which took place at 7 p. m., a sumptuous repast was served to the group of relatives and friends, who were i^resent to do honor to the occasion. The bride was beautifully attired in brown silk with waist of allover spot Brus.'<ol8 net. over Japanese silk, and hat to match . After an enjoyable evening spent together, the compaiiy departed to their homes, wishing the bride and bridegroom health, happiness and prosperity in their matrimonial venture. With the Churches Student Ashmore of McMaster Uni- versity preached in the Baptist church on Sunday last. Rev. Mr. Orton of Dutton will preach ne.xt Sabbath. Rev. A. P. Stanley of Maxwell will occupy the Alethodist pulpit next Sabbath. At a joint meeting of Flesherton, Eugenia and Proton Station congre^atitms held in the Presbyterian church here, on Monday afternoon to moderate in a call to a minister. Rev. J. A. Ross, B. A.l of Essex was unanimouHly chosen. Rev. J. A. Matheson of Piiceville, interin moderator, presided. The stipend offered is 8800, with free manse and four weeks holidays. Mr. T. R. McKenzie was appointed, with Mr. Matheson *o present the call to the Presbytery at Orangeville on Tuesday. Tliere was a very marked feeling in favour of Mr. Ross and the congregations earnestly hope that he may accept the very hearty call extended. The Presbyterian Ladies' Aid will hold a cake sale in the Misses Thompson and Jamieson's parlours, W; A. Armstrong's old jewellery store, on S;;turday of tin week. W. M. S. Convention. The annual convention of the Woman's Missionary .Society of the Owen Sound district, was held in the Methodist church, Duiidalk, on Tuesday, November 2nd. The morning .session opened at 9.30, with Mrs. Thomas Cook, district organ- izer, in tho chair. After the devotional exercises, led by Mrs. J. F. VanDusen, Mrs. W, H. Thurston was appointed s cretfiry, tho roll w.is called and tiiu following friiin a distance resi)onded to their names ; Owen Sound, Rev. H. A. and Mrs. Fish, Mrs. J. C. Miller ; Chatsworth, Mrs. S. H. Breese ; Mark- dale, Mrs. A. Henry, Mrs. H. D. Irwin, Mrs. (Rev.) Young ; Rocklyn, Mrs. W. Falls, Mrs. Kelly, Mrs. Seoul, Rev. J. R. Wilkinson ; Flesherton, Mrs. G. Mitchell, Mrs. W. A. Armstrong and Mrs. W. H. Tliurston. Owing to the wet weather and bad state of the roads, the attendance was small. Mrs. (Rev.) Ferguson, on behalf of the Auxiliary and church, warmly welcomed the delegates, and in the absence of Mw. (Dr.) Danard, Mrs. Thurston replied. Encouraging reports were read from Owen Sound, Chatsworth, Rocklyn, Markdale, Flesherton and Dundalk auxili.;ries, and from Chatsworth, Walters Falls and Flesherton bands. Mrs. W. A. Ai'instrong conducted a round table cimference, on "how to increase our inembership" and many practical sugges- tions were offered. An excellent puper on Mission Methods in the .S;iblmth school, prepared by Mrs. T. Love, Brad- f;;rd, a member of the Markdalo auxili- ary, was read by Mrs. Fish. After the devotional exerci.ses, which opened the .'ifternoon .session, Mrs, S. H. Breese, an enthusiastic Mission band worker, read an excellently prepai-ed paper on that ph.-ise of the W. M. S. work. Miss Rena Shar))0 sang a solo very accepUibly. Mrs. (Rev.) Young conducted a con- ference ot workers and answced questions. Mrs. Thurston gave an address on Individual Responsibility. A resolution of sympathy was sent to Mrs. Packliivu", the recent organizer, whose only child was taken from her by death, since the last convention. Much regret was felt at tho absence of Mrs. Rev. Kemp, Walter's Falls, who is Mission Band Cor-Sec, for the Toronto Conference Branch, The evening session opened with Rev. J. Feiguson in tho chair. Rev. J, R. Wilkin.son conducting tho devotional exercises. Mi.ss C. Rowo delighted the audienco with a beautifully rendered solo, .-ind Rev. H. Fish gave the address of the evening. The Dundnlk choir assisted with the music. Bars, Churches, Banks Toronto is the only city of its size on the continent that has more churches than barrooms. Here the churches easily outnumber the bars. The other day we spoke of the striking sight presented on Saturday evening, when one could see bars closed and dark, and, next door, savings banks ablaze with lights and busy with customers coming and going. The open bank and the closed bar are significant of tho changing opinions of the age. A stranger in the city remarked with surprise the other day upon the frequoDcy with which he saw branch banks on important corners. In his home town all these sites would be occupied by saloons. Not only have wo in Toronto more churches than bars, but we have more banks than bars. Out through the residentiil districts, whore the hotels are not wanted and bars not permitted, new branch banks are being opened nearly every week, for the convenience of local traders. The habit of keeping a hank account and paying bills by check is much on the increase, and it is a highly desiroable change. â€" Toronto S'ar. Children's Aid Meeting Mr. M, K. RichardsoQ spoke at a Children's Aid meeting in Owen Sound on Wednesday of last week. In reference to this The Advertiser says : In many countries tho care of the children is a very important feature of all philanthropic work as thei-e is no ((uestion which bears so closely on tho future of tho counti-y. Since the introduction of the Childro:''s Protective Act by Hon. J. M. Gilxson (now Lieutenant Governor) sixteen yesrs ago, 2,000 children have been cared for, and Mr. Richardson re- lated instances which came under his own notice in a territory which covoi-s the counties of : Grey (outside of Owen Sound), Briiss, Simcoe, Dufl'erin, and the districts of Muskoka and Parry Sound. In March last he drove 20 miles in PaiTy Sound and found five children, four of them girls, the eldest only 13 years with an old woman over 80 years of age, living in a house without a door, without necessary clothing, and .subsisting on porridge made from chop stuff; one girl with a broken arm which htid been for two weeks without surgical attention. The whole family became wards of the Society, and he related having visited one of the girls and she was doing well and was highly prized by her foster mother. Mr. Richardson gave a humor- ous turn to his subject by describing what ideal children some people want for adoption â€" with all of the virtues and none of the vices of mankind as well as an attractive personality. Ho also show- ed that there is another class of appli- cants, by telling of a lady who asked for a child that no peraon else would â- want because of some deformity. She sjiid she wanted to do it for her Master's .sake, and became greatly atbtched to the little fellow she secured. An Influence for Good In every home possessing a copy of "The Soul's Awakening" the picture will have an inspiring influence. One never tires of looking tat it. It has some- thing in it that appeals tu the soul, and from which one cannot turn away. Par- ents should see that this picture finds a place in their homes. The family will be the better of it. Tho publishers of tho Family Herald and Weekly Star of Mon- treal certainly deserve credit for placing such a beautiful picture within the -reach of all. It is 10x24 inches ready for fram- ing, and is given absolutely free to every person subscribing to that great weekly, the best on the continent and only one dollar a year. No time should be lo.st in ordering that paper and making sure of a copy (if tho jjicture. It is certainly a charming subject for any home. i^ Odds and Ends ^ W. A.
