Jacob Lever is in Brussels visit- ing her mother, Mrs. Manning, Ohas. McTaviah of Toronto spent the veekend with bis parents here. Mr. Harry Si eeley of Toronto was in town on Saturday. BusineHs brought bim. Mrs. Sudden, of Chatsworth, who visited at Fred McClocklin's, returned . home last week. Mr. and Mrs Jacob Lever attended the funeral of the latter's aunt, Mrs. Lloyd, at Walkerton last week. An epidemic of measles is sweeping the town pretty well. It is a measly nuisance â€" for the sick ones. Mr. Andrew Dow, 8lh line, Artemesia, has returned home after a two weeks hunt in Parry Sound , with a tine deer. W. E. Blakely, of Foreman Welton's telephone gang, spent Sunday with parents here. Elmo likes the work immensely. Wiater appears to have set in with considerable vigor, beginning with a sleet storm on Monday and snow at night. The eleinghing is good. Mr. Jos. Blackburn and sister, Miss Jennie of Mount Forest, are on a holiday irith relatives in this vicinity and visited ttieir uncle here on Saturday. The taxes in this school section are several dollars less for each ratepayer. The difference, which is very acceptable is credited to the reduction in the teaching «taff of the public school here. Miss Eileen G. Freeman is giving a great musical treat in the town hall here nn Monday next. Press notice of the artists to be present are given in the •'Odds and Ends" column. No one should mias this event. John Sullivan, of Sullivan's Grove, Glenelg, died en Sunday. On Saturday he was taken to Toronto to be operated on for an internal trouble, but it was too late to save hia life, and the body iras brought home on Monday Tom and Joe V\atson and Jim Vause, of Proton, called on friends here on Tuesday between trains while on their way home from a deer hunting trip in the north country. They took home six deer which weighed close to a thousand pounds. â€" Bolton Enterprise. Last week our reporter got things slightly jumbled when he was describing the travels of the stork. Thatintoresting bird did not not call at Jacob Parslow's, but rather paid a visit to Mr. and] Mrs. John Parslow's. As the two farms are in close proximity the error was an easy one to make. Richard JI. Price, the young man from Glen Huron who set fire to Hamilton Bros, mill and barn on Thanksgiving IJay.got •'hisn." The jud^e gave him an order for free board at the penitentiary for seven years. By the time he changes his boarding house Price will have over- come his. fire-bug propensities, or at least he ought to remember the price he paid for his fun. A number of our local exchanges have been publishing an Item to the effect that the Park House is closed. This is in- coriact, as Mr. Arch. Boyd is the new- proprietor, and the place was not closed at all. Nor have there been five tenants in the'place â€" just four. Mr. Boyd re- ports the House receiving a fair patron- ags. We hope this happy state may long oontinne, as Mr. Boyd gives, we believe, good accommodation. A young Fleahsrton engineer (who desires his name kept secret as be has not yet received his papers) met with a serious accident last week. He, in company several other boys, was experi- menting with a homemade steem engine vhen the thing blev op. It appears that the bead of steam was too great for the rickety boiler. The aforementioned engineer received a very serious scalding in the head and is under the doctor's oare. The next boiler will be more â- oUdly constrtioted. The Advance tenders congratulations lo Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Stewart of this town on their successful passing of the Both mile stone of their married life, which important event was duly celebrat- ed by about thirty relatives on Monday evening. A few members of the family were unable to be present, but notwith- standing[« very enjoyable evening was spent. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart settled near this town on a bush farm lifty years ago, and "Sandy" informed our scribe that he thought they could ro at it and clear up another hundred if necessary. However, both of the esteemed old people have done their full duty by society and for their country, having raised a large family who are all an honor to their aged parents and most estimable citizens. Mrs. Sophia Moore, relict of the late William Moore, died at her resideuce, west back line, Artemesia, on Monday afternoon at the age of 72 years C mos. Mrs. Moore was born in Co. Cavan, Ireland, and most of a fair.iiy of ten children we^e born there. The family came to Canada about thirty years ago and after a year's residence in Toronto came to Artemesia and settled on the O. D. R. After breaking up the home' Mr. and Mrs. Moore lived iu Flesherton for seven years. Mrs. Moore did not I live long after her husband's death, which I occurred in May last. They leave nine children of which the best known here is Mrs. \Vm. Parker of the west back line. There were six girls and four boys in the family, but one son was drowned in N. Y. state a few years ago. Three of the children are living in the States ; one lives at Guelph, one in Uxbridge, one in Caledon and another in Toronto. The funeral took place to Flesherton cemetery to- day (Wednesday.) With the Charches Mr. B[. Cree, Knox College student, preached in the Presbyterian church on Sunday and highly pleased the [congrega- tion, who hope to soon hear bim again. Mr. W.J. Cook of Knox College, will preach next Sunday. Word was received here on Tuesday that Rev. Mr. Ross, of Essex, declined the call from the Presbyterian charge here. There is much disappointmeut as the call wa.s very uuaniuiou.s and the congregations hoped to .secure Mr. Ross for their pastor. Card of Thanks Mrs. Duncan and family wish to ex- pres,s their thanks to the many kind friends, who have helped and so kindly sympathized with theiu in their long two years of trouble, especially the young people's Guild for their beautiful floral offering : as Harold expressed it, "a smile from God ;" also the choir and church and kiud ministers and many kind friends both from far and near, who kindly wrote their letcers of loving sympathy, and as Mr. Duncan assured his wife and family that he had a peace that the world could could not give, neiiber take away," and that tho gift of God is eternal life. We wish our dear friends to receive this same blessing. Comfort mo. Lord, that I may be some comfort to another ; That on hia darkness I may shed light for a stumbling brother. A soother to the aching (heart, that watches late in sorrow ; A ^little cloud-break in the sky, when dawns the dim to-morrow, Help me to reap, that I may sow seed from Thy purple mountains ; To pass along the cooling cup filled from Thy ceaseless fountains ; To gather sweets front every flower that lightens up the dawning, Their scent will hnger through the night Ere glows another morning. Mrs. J. M. Duncan and family. Are The Police Trustees Awake? Lious Head is negotiating for the pur- chase of a 91100 fire-fighting equipment, induding an engine. We have a pump in FlesheKoa for the purpose of fire protection, but that is as far as the matter goes. The thing as it stands to- day cooldn'k throw as much water as the small boy with his little water sqairter. Why are our Police Trustees so dilatory in this matter. If the place should be visited by fixe it would be nest thing to impossible to get the pump out of the building whioh shelters it let alone use it to pat out a blase. The matter appears to trouble the trnstees to no great extent. Is that body purely [an honorary one t Or are they even prsteediDg to be in* terested in the welfare of the place 7 Surely they oan rouse themselves to such an extent as to fix this up to serve ss some protection in the time of need. The pump has done good service before to-day in keeping flames from spread- ing, and it is impossible to tell how soon it may bo needed ag-tin. â€" R. T, Fatal Accident at Yellow Grass, Sask. A serious accident occurred at Yellow Grans, Sask., on Tuesday, Nov. 3, John McArthur, as a result, is in " danger of losing an arm. Mr. McArthur was 8oparat<jr man on .\. R. Thomas' outfit. They were- threshing at John Gunia's and he was oiling up about five o'clock, for the last time that night. In reaching for an oil cup, Mr. Mc.\rthur's coat sleeve caught in the ge^iring and before the macliine could he stopped he sustain- ed a compound fracture of tho arm near the shoulder. He was brought to Francis and tiikon to the Grey Nun's hospital at Regina, on Wednesday. The doctors are making an effort to save the arm, but as yet can give no a.sKurance [that ampu- tation will not Ije necessai-y. He was accomdanied to Regini by his wife and brother Alex, and sister Florence, and Mr. John Colin McDougal of Indian Head, Sa«k. John McArthur, the beloved son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald McArthur of Peiceville, Ont. . piussed away at Grey Nun's hospital, Regina, on the olh of November ISJOO. He leaves to mourn his departure a sorrowing ^wife, nee Catherine McDougal, late of Pviceville, Ont., three sons, Johnie, Colin, and Lachie ; an aged father and mother five sist«rs and five brothers ; Archie, Margaret and Lachie at Priceville ; Hugh at Onaway, Mich. ; Mrs. M. Calder, Verm, Sask.; Mrs. Jane Lowey, Weyburn, Sa.sk.; Daniel, Alex, Florence and I Minnie, at Yellow Gra.ss, Sa-sk. Tho remains were brought from Regina Monday morning, the 8th of November, to his lute residence, were interred at Yellow Grass, Tuesd'iy afterni>on. A service was |conductedJ at the house at 1 o'clock, and then to Y'ellow Gratis Presbyterian church, where Rev. Mr. Juarnie, Presbyteria upastor, and Rev. Mr. Haines, Methodist pastor of Lang; conducted the last sad rites of the deceased. Deceased was born at Price- ville. He came to Yellow Grass six years ago and has made a host of friends, and loved by everyone who knew him and hospitality was always under his roof. He was a good neighbor, kind and loving husband and father. His hearty hand-shake and smile will be missed by many. Oh! the dear ones in glory. How they beckon me to come And our partings at the river I recall; To the sweet vales of Eden They will sing my welcome home. But I long to meet my Saviour first of all. Two vessels are being built in England for the Grand Trunk Pacific to run between Prince Rupert and Seattle. There was a joy abounding in Cree more recently. The school board had the rooms fumigated â€" and the fumes remained for a week. The scholars en- joyed their holidays immensely. It has been stated that if the ice in the Ar:tic regions were melted it would cover the earth to a depth of five feet. All you short ones learn to swim ! The Clarksburg Review says that the Provincial government will receive from the insurance companies the sum of one hundred and forty-six dollars and one hundred and thirty-six hundredths.
