Miss Delia Abercrombie of Heathcote (pent Saturday and Sunday last at her parental home. Mr. Amos McClung and Miss Myers of M irkiUie, spent Suii'liy last at the former's parental home here. Mr. Richard Burrell cf Rocklyn, one Euphmsia's most progressive farmers, was a welcome caller in our burg on Thursday last. Our local fruit export, Mr. Joiin Piewcs, is of the opinion that the heavy frost ou Tuesday nitjht of last week has done much more damage to the prospec- tive fruit crop than people are aware of. It was certainly a scorcher. Mrs. M. R. Hammond and Mra. Rid- del! visited friends at Beaverdale during the past week the guests of the former's sister, Mrs. John Manarty. Mr. John McGee had one of his legs badly sprained recently by a land roller passing over ic. It appears that, the tongue ran through the ring in the neck- yoke, thus causing the horses to run away with the above rrsult. \Ve are pleased to report that the injured mem- ber is healing nicely, and in a week or so John will be himself again. Can't keep a good man down, eh, Juhn ! Before The Advance reaches its nu- merous readers this week one of our pro- gressive young fanners will have joined the benedicts. Put on your think cap.

The sinking of the mammoth ocean linef, Titanic, which lesulted in the loss of some 1000 lives, e:ist a gloom over the entire civilized woild. At once every precaution imaginable was and is being taken by all steamship companies to in sure the safety of human life while cross ing lar^e bodies of water. But, dear reader, did you ever realize that righ here in our own country, Canada, wt license men to deal out poison to our fellow men that annually, directly, causes the death of thousands. The sinking o the Titanic, though the greatest marine disaster of modern times, is but a trivia affair compared to the awful miser, caused by the liquor traffic in Canada Yet practically little or nothing is being done by our governments, fuderal local, regardless of their political stripe When will we as Canadians wak up to sense of our duty ( Mr. Stanley Walter, who has spen the p.ist year in Toronto, returDcd home last week.

We ledyouto tbe thicket and roused the wild boar with formidable tusks and bristles erect. Some of you ere thrilled by his furious charges and some were awed at the gnashing of his 'oam-covered jawa, and no doubt some loped that the btar at bay would squeeze or cuft' us with his mighty paws, but after all, an occasional scratch or tussle n the dust only adds a little excitement to the chase ; and now we liave hung our DOW and spear on the wall for a few months, because " all sport and no work might leave Jack without a shirt." We read with much interest Arnold Thurstou's experience iu London, Eng. Archie McLean, Collingwoud st., went to the Michigan Soo a short tima ago and will likely remain for the season.

The boys though they were " boss " and the cow laidclain to the title, and herein Uy the trouble which was followed by a physical argu tnent. There was soon a general mixup The- boys and cow got so tangled tha they were at List unable to say which wa the boy and which was the cow. Subse quently they got on forbidden grouu and mixed up with Ye Editor's clothe reel. They, struck a snag and her bovin ladyship and the boys found theraselve taugled up in the wires. After some de liberation they decided which was which and began to unravel them selves. The Irishman who put his troiif arson wrong side foremost and jumpe from the fourth story of a burning build ing, decided, on viewing himself, that h ' wasn't kilt entirely, but he was fatal! twisted,"' so the boys decided the clotht reel was considerably disarranged aiv would need to go to the hospital for re pairs. It was ' fatally twisted." Dur him Chronicle. The Reid Wrecking Company ha succeeded in raising the Turret Cap uuk last fall near Cove Island an towing her to Collingwood. NOTICE Carney Mills Burned Owen Sound, May 18. The great umber mill of the Carney Lumber Corn- any was completely destroyed by fire t an early hour this morning. The mill as one of the largest and most modern >f ita kind in Canada, and is a complete 'reck. The warf and lumber piles in lie adjacent yard were saved through le splendid work of the local tire de- artment, and a favorable wind from tie ncrth-east. The loss Ls estimated at upwards of 100.000, which is partially covered by naurauce. A .staff uf about 125 men will e thrown out of work until the mill is ebuilt. The stock if lumber which is wned by the (lines Lumber Company f Chicogo, which took the output of the mill, was entirely saved. The Carney Lumber Mills were erect- d in 1906 by Messrs. Fred and Frank Carney of Marinette, Wis. The site of leven acres was granted by the town fur i consideration of $1,500, and the firm was given exemption from all taxation >ut school taxes fur ten years. The ilant was probably the most modern and horoughly equipped ou the Georgian Any, and special attention had been joid to tire protection, two hydrants and several stands of hose being iniulled in he building besides a complete sprinkler system. In the absence of the owners, both of whom are in the United Scates, it is ill possible to say whether the plunt rfill se rebuilt. The company's timber iinits are on the north shore. The blow o^the town, industrially speaking, will be r elt. The company employed over one lundred and twenty-rive men, and their wage roll ran up to about 75,000 annu- ally. Their annual cut ran "to upwards of twenty million feet each season. The oiigin of the tire remains a com plete mystery. The night watchman had been around tbe mill at - o'clock, and had gone (.uton the tramway?, where his ast register shows '2.1.'! o'clock. It was immediately after this that he saw the smoke rolling up from the mill and ni in the alarm. The insurance .will cover part of the loss. 7 eversham Items Our constable, Mr. I. H.

A Tale of Hardship A tile of terrible privation :uid grin endurance on the inland seas is told in despatch from Wiartou which suys : For sixty-einht hours practically without food, drifting about in a launch on th roughest sea ever known oi^the (-ieoriiui Bay, Phi'ip Clark, Jack Pyett, Tlioiua.- K11U, and KotiaJd Mclntyre, all natives of the Manitoulin island, were picked up by the barge Tempest of Toledo, thirty nine iniles from Cove Island and brough to this port safely. It was a sight t< make strong men weep to see them beiui, carried on the arms of others to the shore. Their story is as follows : A (*..'JO Saturday evening they left Provi deuea Bay for their homes at Michael' Bay, a distance of ten miles, iu a iso line launch. After they had none abou rive miles their engine played out th gasoline was done. They had a 6-g.tlloi c:in full en board but to their dism.v they found that the rocking of the launc 1 had knocked the spout off and that th water which had come into the boat hai _;nt into the can tnd consequently th; were without any power. A s'.ron north-east wind blew them directly mt the lake. All that night, all day Sunds and Sunday ni'.'ht, in the rain and snow with the wiud blowing a sale of liO mile per hour, with the worst sea ever know OD lake Huron, they were tossed nbou and exposed to the weather. All th food tlu-y had was some raw potatoes an some raw prunes. Still they never Ins hope. Once they thought they t-aw him but afterwards it proved to be only cloud. Al last, on Tuesday afterii(,>i>i about 4 o'clock, they were sighted by th barge Tempest, Capt. Johnston, from Toledo, and brought to this por'. Thei hands and feet were badly frozen, and i some cases probably amputation will b necessary. The fact that they are aliv is proof of their strong physique an their courageous spirit. Ronald Mclu tyre tutfered the least. The men are re ceiving medical attention and every pos sible kindness is being shown them. It i not thought that any of them will die.

Grateful Mother Ferrozone Builds Up Weak Tells of Her Daughter's Re- covery.
