The Adrancc has once more to thank the ladies of the Women's Institute for their annua' gift of a good fat goo.se May their socisty prosper and every member have a hsppy • and prosperou.'s New Year. For the past live years the W. I. have been doing a spleLdid work. first in war assLstance and now in the endeavor to raise money for a msiuorial park. They are worthy of every a.s9i.i- tance. The workmen sii(!aR«d in Uying the cement floor iu Mr. Down'a new garage made a very close acquaintanee with death on Saturday afternoon last, from a dasa of the deadly gasollBe gis. The building was closed up tight and heated by a wood stove and coal furnace, while a gatolina cngipe ran the utixer. Along in the afternoon the six workaaen began to feel " queer " and lose airength. Two of them (^uit work and went home. The three remaining worked fur some time longer until they were stagjeriug and un6t to do any more. It was with difficalty that they were able to get to the door and to their homes. Mr. Dowa himself, Maloolm McDoaatd and' Joseph Blakely were the unfortunate ones and a doolor'a services were required. They were all able to go to work again on Menday, bat you ean wager that it was not under the same conditions. Mr. jVm. Nixon, of Amulet, Saek , ia Hpending a few weeks with his wife hera. Miss Pearl Kadluy of Toronto visited her father over iha week end. Mrs. A. J?histlethwaite left on the 17lh for Toronto to stsy with her son, Jetf' under the care of Dr. Robb. Duii't forget the entertainment in the Presbyterian church on Cbristoias niaht. Tea will be served followed by a good entertainment. A delightful time iraa spent iu the public school Friday afternoon, when a Christmas tree waa unloaded aad a neat program given. Master MeWin Sled made an ideal Utile chairman. All subsoriptions sent in by mail and postmarked not later than December 2U, 1919, will be received at the dollar rate- After December 29th the rate will bo §1.50. Mr. Andrew Gilchriat has sold hie farm near Ceylon and purposes, wa understand, to live in Flasherton. Mr. W. Caswell of the Toronto line has handed the homestead over to his ton, Nat, and will also move to town. Both families will be heartily welcooiisd. The English astronomer who predicted the end of the world or some other great disaster last weak has failed in his fore- cast, as so matiy have before him. Nothlne out of the ordinary happened because of the conjunction of six planets, unless the cold weather could be called extraordinary, but neither bad storma, earthquake or ether phenomena occurred. Therefore we will aot print the letter provisionally promised last week. The Owen Sound Sun-Timss publinhai a photo of G. M. Leeson. M.P.P., last week, and announced him as the membsr elect for Centra Gray. If it were not f )r Bre'r Fleming's well known temper- an(!e principles one would be tempted to believe thac he had been sampling some of the swampy variety of wet goods recently unearthed up around Owen Sound. Mr. Leeson is member for SOUTH Grey aad It is iu order for Lieut.' Col. Csrmichasl, who carried cff such an astounding victory in Centre Grey, to enter a protest. ** Mr. R^Benthans of the suburbs cap- tured two foxes ia his traps one day last week, for the pelts of whiah he received $44 â€" a good day's work. Dick has received $99 for the fur eaptursd within the past month right on his own farm and within a few rods of bis own build- ings. The captures comprised four foxes and three raccoons. Dick scams to hare a fur farm run at a minimum cost and he knows how to ssearc the pelts. These who hunt the wary animal with Jogs have not been so 'fortunate by a long way. Dr. Mearns of HanoTer, in a recent address iu his home town, criticized the Grey County Road Commission very strongly. AnioBj! other things ho said, " This rotten committee ought to be turned out." His uncalled fur charges brought forth a hot reply from Mr. Boyd in last week's Sun Times. Now Dr. Mearna says ho did not know he was speaking for pablieation. It would seem that the Dr. has one variety of facts for the public and anothei for homo coii- sumptioj. The knowledge of this fact ought to pretty near shove the Dr. out of public life. Courting At Markdale Mr. Bruce Burnett, of the subutkr, was given a fair warning in court here last week and Uuuhk that interfering with a Constable iu the discharge of his duties can't be done. It appears that on Saturday night, December 6th, u number of youn^ men, tome of whom were intoxicated, became very troublesome ou eur streets, which resulted in Chief Hartley attempting to. make an arrest. Oup, Ranee Teeter, was the man pursued, but somehow, it is understood, that Mr. Brucs' Buraetb attempted to prevent the arrest Conse- quently ha appeared before Magietrate Armstrong on this charge. M» Arm- strong and Lawyers Henry and McCullough pointed out the serioueness of the offeaceâ€" a hue of $100 could have been imposed, or six months in jail. After gi-ave deliberation- Magistrate Armstrong dismissed the case, with costs. We might mention here that it is de- clared that the Court will support Constable Hartley in the discharge of his duties, and all sach public nuisances are to be dealt with to the limis hereafter. Arthihr Wrightman, who appeared on a charge of "drunk and disorderly" was lined $5 and coats for being disorderly and making use of profanity ; $10 was imposed for being intoxicated. Ranca Teeter did not appear, having "aklppsd the country." However the Court declared "we'll gel him yet," so he will probably sufTdr moat keverely, he having real y been the chief cause of the disturbance.â€" Stitndard Announcement I wish to ainicunca to the people of Flesherton and surrounding country that I sin opening a Gents' Furnishing Store en Jan. 2nd, 1920, in the building recently vacated by J.

Rate After atjckiog ,to the old subscriptien rate for alueost tbiee years after all the other other Grey County papers had laUed, the Flesherton Adyance In its last week's issue announced that its rate after Jan. 1st, I920,wiiroe $1.50 per annum. By sticking to the old rate tho AdTance says it has lust money ; and no doubb i' has. Iu fact, the paper situation is such that eeveral pablishers of weekliea and semi-weeklies are sartoasly considering a further imcrsase per annum. â€" Owen Sound Advertiser. Tree FeU On Him tfT!yiZr!^;r^Sf^Zr^^jrjr^Zk^f^Zr^?5^Z^ Hamilton McFadden, aged 55, who resides about three miles north of Mark- dale, was brought to Owen Sound Hospital on Satarday morning, suffering from a 'oad frsctara of the uppav end ot the thigh buns. Ha was felling a tres at his home, and when it fall, it pinned him to the ground, where he lay for several hours, knowing that his family weuld be on the spot sooner or later. Dr. Brown was called in and had the unfortuuate man brought to Owen Sound where he is now recoveriag. Dr. Mid- dlebro is atteading Mr. MeFadden here. OUR thoughts go out at this Holiday Season to each of our friends, to wish them Prosperity in their undertakings, wisdom for their work, peace for their pathway, friends for their fireside and strength to the last.
