Kimberley were fortunate in bunching hits, which generally end in runs, and runs win ball games. Kimberley had the largest ej-owd on Thursday, that has attended a ball game in years. Quite a number of local fans ntade the trip. While the final score is a one-sided affair, there was no runaway In any one inning, and Kimberley scored all runs by ones and twos with the excep- tion of the 8th, when a trio of tall- ies flocked across the plate.

Mr. W. G. Akins has secured a position in Wingham and left Monday morning. He will be much missed in sporting circles in town as he was the manager of the ball team and aljo was a leading light on the hockey team. Rev. J. R. and Mrs. Wilkinson and two children, Elfreda and Harold, of Victoria Harbor have been visiting with Mrs. Wilkinson's mother, Mrs. Crabtree, in Meaford, and called on old friends on the way to Toronto. The Advance was pleased to meet Mr. Wilkinson again. Mr. and Mrs. A. Kiingensmith of Long Beach, Calif., are on a motor tour of Canada and called on friends here on Monday, stopping at the Munshaw House. They will return to town on Saturday and will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Wilson. A basket picnic under the auspices of the Osprey-Eugenia U.F.O. and U. F.W.O. Clubs will be held in the Park at Eugenia on Monday, August 23rd. Miss A. C. Macphail will be present. Come along and bring your games and basket and have a good time. Everybody invited.- A political meeting in the interests of R. T. Edwards, Libetal-Conserva- tive candidate in South-east Grey, was held in the town hall Wednesmy evening of last week to which attend- ed a fair sized crowd to listen to the questions of the day discussed. Mrs. Fallis of Peterboro, the wife of a farmer, spoke as did also the candi- date. Rev. W. W. Peck, M. A., will occu- py the pulpit in St. John's church morning and evening, and at Eugenia in the afternoon on Sabbath next and will represent the Ontario Prohibition union. Mr. Peck was for a number of years secretary of the B. C. pro- hibition forces and has an exceed- ingly vital message on the working of government control. We hope a large attendance will greet him. .MEADS â€" CHA.NDLEW Tax .Mail Order Houses A man who listens carefully when The Centre Grey League has had he is spoken to and ask only enough •a splendid year, and the brand of questions to insure the accurate car- baseball, has, on the whi)le been of rying out of instructions. A Detroit paper tells of the birth of a child with webbed feet. This is an illustration of the danger of being attended by a quack. With cars everywhere there is nothing left these days for the black- smith to shoo but hens. Amid a setting of summer flowers' and ferns before the altar of BonatI Presbyterian Church, Toronto, Ethel E., daughter of ^r. and Mrs. Wni. L. Chandler, Wingham, Ont., and Robert O., son of Mr. and Mm. Wm. J. Meads, Flesherton, One., were united in holy bonds of matrimony on Sat- urday, August 7th at two o'clock by Rev. Norman A. MacEachem, former, pastor, now of Winnipeg. The bride . who was given away by her father, looked charming in her bridal gown I of white canton with trimmings of, silver and ribbon, wearing a veil of tule with coronet of orange blossoms, and carrying a shower bouquet of Premier ro.?es,lily-of-the-valley, maid- en-hair fern and baby's breath. She was attended by her youngest sister. Miss Mary M., in poudre blue georg- ette over gold, with gold lace trim- mings and picture hat to match, who carried a bouquet of Ophelia roses, lily-of-the-valley and fern. L. Marg- uerite Ferris, niece of the groom, was a charming little flower girl on her fourth birthday, scattering petals from her basket of sunset roses in the bridal path. She was very daintily attired in French frock of peach crepe de chine, and wore a wreath of lily- of-the-valley in her hair. The groom was assiste'd by his youngest brother, Mr. Joseph J., and Messrs. James Roe and John Dickon, city associates, acting as ushers. While the register was being signed Mr. Angus McLeod rendered ,'For You Alone," very beautifully, accom- panied at the organ by Mr. Harold Frost, who played softly throughout the ceremony. The wedding reception was held at the home of the groom's sister, Mrs. James Ferris, St. Clarens Ave. The groom's gift to the bride was a beautiful white fox fur, «to the bridesmaid white bold bracelets set with brilliants and pearls. I'he groomsman was given a mottled fountain pen with pencil to match and the little flower girl an initialed sig- net ring. The gift to the soloist was a set of white gold links bearing the Masonic emblem and to the ushers mottled fountain pens respectively. The four o'clock boat to the Thous- and Islands carried the happy couple en their honeymoon, the bride travell- ing in a gown of poudre blue georg- ette with moire ribbon trimmings and coat of French blue with ribbon cloche hat to match. Upon their return thty will visit at Flesherton and Wingham, where re- ceptions will be held in their honor. Mr. and Mrs. Meads will reside in Toronto. The proposal of the Retail Mer- chants' Association to tax mail order houses for all business done In each municipality and remit the tax di- rect to the municipalities is a move in the right direction provided the scheme can be worked. Talk as we like of the few advantages of dealing with these mail order houses, if their expansion is not curbed the day. will come when there will be but a few retail. stores in the towns and villages. Local merchants can head off the ex- pansion of these octopuses to a great extent by taking the best means of reaching the buyer â€" consistent and persistent use of their local paper.

That the planting of these trees is, however, not all pleasure, was the information handed out to us last week by Mr. Murdoch who said that already there had been parties on his premises who had taken some and destroyed others and that it was his intention to take legal proceedings against any found so doing. Tree planting is from a I provincial standpoint, a most impor- J tant part of the government's scheme of reforestation, and it is too bad that some people so far forget themsel- ves as to want to destroy that which in a ifew years will be of value toi the province. It is to be hoped that tl>e depredation will not continue and that those who have taken an inter- est in the matter will not be troubled with others whose whole ambition seems to be to destroy. â€" Chronicle. 0" the Toronto Line Provincial ~ Slighway.

R. right of way near her home, and to have a fast pasisenger train run completely over her body was the strange experience of the two-year old daughter of Mr. Ralph Robinson, East Williams. To the fact that the child was asleep and that she chase the exact middle between the raits is her life due. The occurrence is considered one of the strangest that has ever happened in the district, perhaps in Western On- tario. The tot had wandered away from her home, and evidently exhausted stretched out on the warm cinders. It is believed that soon after she had fallen asleep the locomotive and -its string of cars passed over her body, leaving her unharmed. The noise of the train wakened the sleeping girl, but her confused mind was instrumen- tal in preventing her from moving during the dangerous moment In which the cars were pasisng oVer her. Had she raised her head or moved sideways, her life would Nitve been snuffed out in an instant. She was found soon after her strange experienee, and returned to her home.
