Hogs are alightly lower, at ! 9!).40. j John McC'auIey has returned from Elk , Lake, and Charlie JaniiesoQ from Coch- | rane. The prospect of fly time failed to i appeal to them. Rev. Mr. Milli(;an, the ue>v Presby- I teriaii pastor here, occupied hia pulpit | for the first time on Sunday, and preach- [ ed to a large congreKntioii. The moetins? for a July l.st celebration | in Flesherton is announced for Friday \ qight of this week. There will l)e room I in the town hall for everybody. | Mr. Rob.

The Toronto Star says it is rumored in Legislative circles that Hon. J. J. Foy â- will retiie fiom the Ontario Cabinet and that bis place as Minister of Justice will | be taken by Hon. L B.

Mr. W. Buskin, who recently sold his farm on the west back line, has rented the Presbyterian manse in town and is moving his family lher«ito. The Advance tenders a hearty welcome to Mr. and Mrs. Buskin as residents of the village. Magistrate J. MoMulleu had two cases before him last week. One was a muzzl- ing case in which one of our citizens, Mr. John Heard, Buured. Ho was charged with letting his dog run at large without » muzzle. A fine of one dollar and coats waa imposed. The other was an assault nasa from Euphrasia in which John Syinona charged Ralph Harbottlo with assault and wounding. This case was dismissed. Mrs. B. Field of Rock Mills met with » serious accident while diiviug between that place and Muxwell one day last week. At Hargravea' the horse took fright at souie cows, bolted and ran on a high bank, upsetting the buggy and throwing Mrs. Field out. She suffered A bad cut on the head, her back was iJso I injured and she wm rendered insensible for some time. She was taken home the aame evening and is now recovering. A. communication on school matters Appears elsewhere in this issue from a man who refuses to allow his name to be at- tached. The article deals iu garbled quo- tetions and false dedu:;tions. We are not «fr«id to allow the public to compare the communication and our own editorial and form their own judgment. Wo feel sure the verdict will be that the esteemed author of this communication wrote his â- trictures through a pair of colored glas- •ee, and is very unfair in many or his .quotations and statements. The last word in tb» freak hen egg line comes from Vandeleur, where Jos. BuchiDan h»« a hen which seems to de- light to do fancy stunts. Her latest ia a donble ahelled egg with tail attached. The inside shell resembles fan ordinary egg shell, though a trifle soft, while the •aiside shell is very soft, a membrane, to be exact. The intervening space is filled albumeu. The tail ia merely a continua- tion of the outer shell, and is two and a half inches long, filled with albumen for kalf an inch of its length. On Sunday laat the anniversary servic£« mi Flesherton Baptist Church were con- ii«io»ed by Rev. Mr. Cameron of Owen jfiound. The preacher delivered splendid sermonn to largie ouneiegatioiis. H? «rged them to trust Qod to take care of His pgople and to put first things 6»t in iheir lives, seeine lo the life of the soul rattier than 'hat of the body. We hope tliiit tliia may not be the last time, but rather the tir.st of many, that Rev. Mr. Caraerou will visit us. As <iur readers are deeply interested in Hnlley's comet, we might say that this elusi ;u twinlder rose this morning (Wed- nesday) at 4.:!5, and the .sun at 5.33. The comet's speed is about l.OTO miles pe r minute, and growing faster. It still appeai.s at, a star. Choral Concert Given. The concert given last week by The Fleshertoi Ciioral Union under the direction of Miss Eileen G. Freeman did nut meet with the support ic deserved. The weather and lagrippe are given as the rcaton for the very unsatisfactory turnout. The reasons given may be the correct ones, but we imagine that if there had been several "comics" hired for the occasion to make themselves ridiculous the function would have l.een more successful. The concert going public of thia neighborhoud as in other neighborhoods appears to have an in- stinctive antipithy to "pedigreed" niutic â€" while any old mongrel selection is hail- ed with delight. It is deplorable but we believe none the less true. Own up, now. Would you youru'lf not rather hoar some rousing "sole" stirring strain ground out of a f^queaky violin than Miss Wilda Freeman was pianist, and rendered several piano .solos. Any words The Advance miiiht say in laudation of the youug lady's (kill would not more firmly establish Miss Freeman's position in musical circles. Whereevcr she is kuowu her reputation as a pianist is firmly establishedâ€" and as well deserved, listen to the modern idea oft{what's what in music. Truly we are a degeiietate people, Mr. Lorenzo Turner is an expert 'cellist and his solo worli was appreciated to the full. His skill on the violoncello was a revelation to many and a delight co all Miss Eileen G. Freeman in her solos charmed her hearers. Perhaps the best testimony as to her ability was given by the Choral Class under her direction. Miss Freeman has the past winter trained the chorus, and trained it well. While not large in numbers it was listened to with ijruat interest. Several selections Wore very ambitious, but were well rendered and well received. Wo tiust that MihS t<Veenian may be persuaded to organize another Choral class in our village on some future occasion. Rev. H. E. Wellwood occupied the chair. Mrs. Wm. Reid Dead Mrs. Wm. Iteid of this village pa.^sed to her long rest Monday night ut the age of (51 years. Mrs. lieid has been in feeble health for a long time but no immediate serious result was anticipated until Monday, when the collapse came. The deceived lady's maiden name w.is Ferguson. Sho was born in Scotland but came to this country with her imr- ents when a little girl. They first settled in Esqucsing and later came to the 18th con. of Egreuiout. Forty years ago sho married Mr. Wm. R«id of the O.D.R., where they lived for about 25 year.s. For .some years they have Iwen living in Flesherton. Mrs. Reid leaves a sorrow- ing husband and two adopted daughters. The funeral took place to Flesherton cemetery on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Reid has the deep syin[>athy of the whole village iu the loss of his respected and beloved partner. A Modern Motor Car During their spare time the past few weeks Dr. Murray and Walter Loucks h.ive been constructing a motor carâ€" quite the last word in automobiles. The Advance man ran across it at the out- skirt of the village on Saturdey afternoon. Auto like, the contraption had refused to go, and 80 we tendered our litte share of advice. Strange to relate, the engine refused to run on advice alone ; and not until the engine was tinkered with for two and n half hours would it consent to goâ€" and then for no apparent rea.son ran right merrily. The chassis of the machine is the gear of an old superannuated buggy, with shaky apokea. Dr. Murray's little 2- horse portable gasoline engine is the power plant, An ingenious system of belts and pulleys " ni.-vkes the wheels go 'round." The guiding of the craft is done by an original contrivance very sim- ilar to the stoering gear of a trnctiou engine â€" only better, of course ! A bat- tered, hoarse-toned fish horn servos as a siren to warn all comers that at least half the road ia desired, and all would be I appreciated. Owing to the low power of I the engine it is necessary lo uet out and push to succoasfully navigate hills; though I It moves along 7 niilei an hour on tne level. With hii toy, the Dr. and his partner in the enterprise hope to have as much pleasure as a 60 horse power craft could , aupuly. They will have ail the senf.ati'>n . of tiii* muJ.' v'st. •••• any rate ; even to the ' frequent brcakdowa, in all probability. i Mrs. Henry Taylor or â- '.;...maF.lgin foil 'down oel'iir with a iijjl.Uii Iftmp :ni her hand and t'M so serioi'sly burned that sho died froii I.ar injuries, hit.
