H. Cauns, Rec. Sec. The Advance has taken over the stock of Upper Camtdit Bible Society Bible's and hymn books held for Mme years by Mr. Bunt, who has left town. These books are worth looking uvoc when you come to buying your Xmas presentn, as they! are sold at remarkably cheap prices. The municipal pot in the towo.ship of Artemiisia is attaimug a pretty fair denteo of heat, and it is thought that during the next two weeks it will attain to boiling point. The townshift will have a deputy teeve this year fuc the fiist time since Kleshcrtou was lopped oil'. The prospective oandidiUe»i tor tb'S ofuce have uaji yet held up .||&e>i- hands, but there i« no' doubt thAt (hoy will be forth- coii^ing. There are biiits, but nothing d«tinilis of a cdotest for llie Uecveship. We ixpeot, howevor, to tee a fall shta by uouiirtatiou d»yâ€" Dec. 27. Mr. Alf. HsriLson purchased a thor- oughbred Holstein cow six years ago. From herself and her pro^-eny he has sold $475 worth of stock and has four cows and three heifers left. He has shipped a bull calf to New Brunswick and two heif- ers to New Citario. Mr. Harrison thinks his record cannot be beaten and would like to know, you know. Our foremost business men are to the front as uiual with h.i'aouncements of splendid displays of Christmas goods aait- able for the season. Read especially the advertisements of Messers, F. H. W, Uickling, F. G. Karstedt. and W. E. Richardson, ioaiua issue for suggestions. You will find wk»k you want there. If it be a piece ofcjewelry you want, of course W. A. Armstrong can tuppljr you, and Mr. Buskin is headquarters for sroceries and confectionery. The town electric house wiring will be completed by the outside experts this week. There will still be a few things to do, however, among them being the wiring of the Methodist church, which we un- derstand will be done by local men' There has been com plaiurs about some of the meters working over time and all the time, but we think generally they are pretty corrert. Une man thought his meter was not working at all because it registered so little. Men and officers of the Grey battalion are making a house to house canvas this and next week with a view to bringing the battalion up tu full streneth. ba' tween six and seven hundred men are yet required, and the othcers have decid- ed that the only way to get them is to go out and make a personal appeal to the the loyal young men uf tbe county. Joe LeGard, Frank Patlon, T. Chard and Lieut. Rutherford are the f(|uad doing the canvas here. The Clarksburg Review, referring to the item recently printed regarding Mr. Karatedt's oil well,says:"It seems strange that this p:trlicuUr oil well should con- tinue to be a puzzle to experts and would- be experts. If that well bad been locat- ed anywhere near Cal4;ary, tlie whole countryside would have been over-iun with oil prospectors and company promo- ters long befoio this and frenzied finance would have been at its freuziest. Luck. ily, however, it is owned by a level-head- ed, honest business man who will not permit exploiting until there is something substantial to exploit. " Chalmers church Ladies' aid held their closing meeting for the year, at the home of tha president, Mrs. D. McTavish. The tieasurer's report showed a successful year and the finances in a prosperous condition. Officers fir the ensuins year were elected as follows: Honorary Pres- ident, Mrs. A. S. VanDuseii; President, Mrs. Jas. Paton; Vice President Mrs. P. Teeter; Secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Joseph Blackburn; Visiting Commit toe, Mrs. McTavish, Mis. J.L. McMullen and Mrs. A. Hairison. The retiring Presi- dent was tendered a vote of thanks for her very faithful services. Mrs. Wm. Wrighc, one of the oldest members of the s-^ciety, was made an honorary mem- ber. Presentation and Address The S. S. oi Ceylon assembled last Thursday evening, in the UraneoHall, to enjoy a sociar«vening. Under the able leadership of Mr. S. Hemphill and his efficient slaflf of officers and taitchers, the school has enjoyed a year of prosperity, the average attendance for the year being thirty-three. The program was varied and esjoyable, after which luucb- eon was served by the ladies. During the evening the following address with a well filled purse was presented to the Rev. R. C. Kerr.

Is duties and respons- ibilities, we are assured, will not sulfur Under your care Hud supervision. Y'our influence anionic us has been helpfu', your life above reproach. Coming from a home that places princip'e before sentiment, and makes practice the expression of fail h the vital duties of life will be less oner- ous, and the secondary never supreme. As au\.liary to home comes Sabbath school and Bible class training and in- struction. In these you have taken an active part and due proportion, heli)ed to emphasize the great truth that "Things that are seen are temporal, but things that are not seet\ are eternal." Your own fd'th, genial behaviour and unwav- ering iutereit in that which is best, have won our esteem and admiration; and, to- night, wc strive to give these slight ex- pressions by our presence, and this slight memento of our happy relations, as ineni- bers of Chalmer's church Bible class. Your continuance in our neighborhood we hail with delight, and trust the future may be eveivmore resplendent with un- ceiisiiig helpfulness than the past.
