THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE Patience is bitter but its fruit is sweet. The City of Happiness is in the State of Mind. The restauriuint at Englehart Station was taken over again by Mr. A. Stevâ€" ens who will comgduct it in future. Mr. D. W. Porter, who was recently in charge, has left Englehart, his staff accompanying him. Two drug stores in Cochrane some days ago were fined $2,000.00 each for breach of the Ontario Temperance Act and the same week a private inâ€" dividual in the town paid $500.00 and costs for the breach of the sfme Act, the fines thus totalling $4500.00 for the one week. On Tuesday afternoon of this week Mrs. I. K. Pieree entertained the Ladies‘ Bowling Club at her home, and the afternoon was a very pleasâ€" ant one. Mrs. M. B, Seott assisted Mrs. Pierce. The four captaics of the teams in the Ladies‘ Bowling Club are:â€"Mrs, Fogg, Mrs. Porter, Mrs. Seott and Mrs. Miller. Mrs. Fogg‘s team came high for the first series. In the individual bowling Mrs. Seott came first and Mrs. Pierce second. There is‘ the greatest interest being taken this season in the Ladies‘ Bowâ€" ling Club. Some were under the impression that a record was made this year in the number of candidates for Counagil. This is not a fact, there having been twenty candidates for Council in ithe 1923 election. LADIES BOWLING CLUB PLEASANTLY ENTERTAINED In 1919 Dr. Mclunis had hig‘ first contest for the Mayoralty, wmmng by 25 votes, there being only 235 votâ€" ing for Mayor, the Town then being small. The second Mayoralty conâ€" test, 1921, gave the Doctor 117 Majorâ€" ity in a total of 389 for Mayor. The third mayoralty contest in the history of the town was the one this week, for 1926, the total vote cast for Mayor being close to 1800. For the years 1919, 1921 and 1926 it was necessary to have elections for both Mayor and Councillors. In addition in 1916, 1922 and 1924 there were elections for Councillors only, the Mayor being elected by acclamaâ€" tion in each of these years. In the fourteen years of this Town‘s existence, there have only been six elections to fill municipal offices, the other years the offices being filled by acclamation. oNLY SIX ELECTIONS IN HISTORY OF THE TOWN Net earnings before depreciation |....

(On Sunday evening, Dec 13th, in the (Gioldfields Theatre, after the church services there will be a grand concert by local talent. The proâ€" gramme will be a particularly good one, as a number of leading artists are expected to take part. There will be vocal and instrumental numâ€" bers and other items of special interâ€" est. Mr. Jas. Geils is directing the event, so the excellence of the proâ€" gramme may safely be taken for granted. There will be a collection taken at the door, this to go for the benefit of football players injured during the past season. The concert will be an attractive one, and all should attend to aid in the benefit collection for the injured football players. { oPESIAL GONGERT ON oUNOAY EVENING, DEG. 13 For Benefit of Injured Football Players.

Between the acts Mrs. Dr. Barry gave one of her muchâ€" appreciated soprano solos and had to respond to an insistent encore, Mr. Max Smith was received with hearty applause and sang first ‘‘Lighterman Tom,‘‘ then responded with ‘‘The a remarkable success. We were told beforehand that there was a laugh in every line of ‘‘The Adventures of Grandpa,‘‘ but, there was not only that, but a great many between the lines and the makeâ€"up of some of the actors was so good that ©there was laugh after laugh without any lines. Mr. Wm. Lowery, the director of the play, showed wonderful judgment in placing the talent at his disposal, for each actor and actress seemed to fit exactly into his or her part. Mr. Geo. Starling as ‘‘Grandpa‘‘ brought many a peal of laughter from the audience and we doubt if a professional actor could have handled this part one whit better; Jim Fell, as ‘‘Monte,"‘ his grandson, was always ready with a way out of each emergency and Fred Mason as ‘‘Tod Hunter,‘‘ his chum, and college pal, a young dancing master, but erstwhile a disgruntled cook, acted well the part, while Art Devine as ‘‘Officer MacCormack‘" was always ‘‘On Duty,"‘‘ although not an apt judge of smallâ€"pox puestules, Miss Violet Devine as, Kloompy,â€" just out from Copenhagen,â€"introducâ€" ed many a comic element and altho‘ threatening to ‘‘yump her yob,"" stayâ€" ed till she had a chance to ‘spill der beans‘ about Lucy Hunter, ‘‘our little wife,‘‘ quaintly and demurely acted by Miss Isobel Arbour. Miss Hanâ€" son as the newlyâ€"rich Mrs. Pansy Hopscotch, found everything very ‘fatâ€"igâ€"ewing,‘ while Miss Velma Arâ€" boeur as Dorothy May, her companion, who had run away from Liskeard and Monte, acted the part with a pert snappiness and pep that pleased everyâ€" body. Rosemary Devine made a very dainty Parisienne in her role as the French dancing instructor. The next play to be presented by this club is ‘‘My Irish Rose‘‘ and will be given in about six weeks‘ time, and judging by the appreciation their first attémpt The Comedy put on by the South Poreupine Dramatie Club on Decemâ€" ber 2nd. in the Majestic Theatre was going to the Company‘s headquarters at Cornwall, Ont. Mr. and Mrs. Doug. Warren of Conâ€" naught, came up to see ‘‘The Advenâ€" tures of Grandpa‘‘ on Wednesday nicht. Mr. Charlie Langlois, of the Chisâ€" holm Construction Co., left on Saturâ€" day for his home at River Beaudette, Quebec, for a few days‘ visit before Misses Del. Craig and Imelda Pilon of TIroquois Falls, attended the Bacheâ€" lors‘ Ball on Thursday night. Mr. Geo, Cole, Mining Inspector, arâ€" rived home on Wednesday from Winâ€" nipeg, where he attended the Great War Veterans‘ Convention. The Chisholm Construction Co. have finished their contract at the Dome dam and were moving their camp outâ€" fit, machinery, etce., away last week. Mrs. Jas. Devine and family, Arâ€" thur, Rose, Violet and Cecilia, left on Monday of this week for Detroit, there to make their future home. The young people will be greatly missed especially in musical cireles, where they usually took an active and very acceptable part. We all wish this very popular trio of young people, their parents and little Cecilia, prosâ€" perity and happiness in their new home. (On Wednesday evening Mrs. Donald Frood entertained at bridge in honor of Mrs. MceKelvie, who has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. F. Dowzer. Mrs. Stanley Pearce won the first prize and Mrs. H. Wilson second. Alâ€" though only a few of her most intiâ€" mate friends were entertained everyâ€" one reports this as one of the happiest little bridge teas of the season. There was a special gift prize for the guest of honor. . Mrs. McKelvie intended leaving for her home in New Liskeard this week, but owing to the illness of Mrs. Dowzer‘s mother, Mrs. Rapsey, Sr., she is remaining somewhat longer. One of our popular young ladies surprised some of her friends by the flashing of a handsome new diamond on her ring finger during the past week. More news later.

The total damage was $4,170.00. The value of the buildings involved where fire oceurred was $37,900.00, and this fact again shows the value of a fire deâ€" partment in protecting property. The regular meeting of the Home and School Association will be held in the Public School on Wednesday, Dec. 16th. Prizes will be awarded to Miss Belanger‘s room for writing, also a prize will be given each to Miss Roney‘s Class and to Miss Michaelson‘s Class for the pupil that has shown the most improvement in his or her writing since September.

There were aâ€" bout one hundred and thirty couples present, a large number coming in from Schumacher and Timmins. The Rambler‘s sixâ€"piece orchestra of Timâ€" mins supplied the best of music and everybody had a jolly time, there beâ€" ing many real insomnia artists among the guests, and everybody w as happy till well on into the wee sma‘ hours, and thought that the Bachelors of the Camp surely were wideâ€"awake when they thought of putting on this Ball. The orginators of this type of insomâ€" nia we believe were Messrs. Joseph Rutherford and A. Anderson. _ The patronesses for the dance were Mesâ€" dames Dowsett, Doelle, D. MacPhail, Barry and M. D.

The roadster had one of the front wheels almost torn off by the impact of the two cars, but the car went some little distance before it too landed up against one of the posts. The front of Mr. Tierney‘s car was badly damaged, the radiator being injured and other serious damage done. Mr. Webster‘s roadster was also considerably injured. Fortunâ€" atly neither of the drivers were hurt in the collision. Some one noting the accident notified the Schumacher Police Station, thinking the aceciâ€" dent was out of the town. Officer Cushing responded to the call, and later notified the Timmins Police Station the scene of the accident beâ€" ing inside the town. Police investigation suggested that it was not a case for the police, the collision being purely accidental, and Mr. Webster saying that so far as anyone was responsible he accepted the onus. The damaged cars were brought to the Timmins Garage for the badlyâ€"needed repairs. Two autos were badly damaged Sunday evening in a collision on Ithe road between the town and the Holâ€" linger. One of the cars was driven by Mr. Webster of the Dome and the other by Mr. Tierney, taxi driver, Timâ€" mins. ‘The latter was returning from Schumacher, and on meeting the other car turned out about as far as the road would allow. Mr. Webster, however, did not see the other car in time, on account of the turn in the road, and before he could get his car adjusted to, avoid a collision, the colâ€" lision had oceurred. Mr. Tierney‘s car was swung across the road by the passing roadster hitting against one of the fence posts and knocking it to an angle like the leaning tower of AUTOS BADLY DAMAGED IN COLLISION SUNDAY In the Municipal Election on Monâ€" day 92 per cent. of the available vote was cast, with the following results:â€" Mayor Frank K.
