Proprietor Presented With Gifts Over one hunJitJ friends and neighbors met ai tile Oranfee Hall, Eugenia, on Saturday evening, Dec. 4th, to spend a few plasant hours with Dr. Leslie and Mrs. Ferri.s, who were recently married, and presented them with an electric floor lamp, and with the best wishes for a long ami happy wedded life. Miss Irene Dinsmore read the following: To Dr. and Mrs. Ferris: We, your friends, have gathered here To wish you joy and the best of cheer, And to you both, we truly say That we are glad you passed this way. In a village in .\rtemesia . Lived a maiden, Donalda Patricia, _UTio was jolly, kind and gay. Winning friends in her own way. ' In Eugenia school she taught 1 And we her in.spiration sought As we learned our A-B-C's Or tried our best this Miss to please. With the choir, by her own choice She did willingly blend her voice, Or at the organ did her best To lead us all with vim and zest. When our social times came 'round Donalda would always there be found. Where she could she lent a hand And the results were simply grand. But, alas, there came a day When a doctor passed this way, Who it was we needn't guess, It was none other than Doctor Les. He met and loved Donalda Sloan And hoped to claim her as his own; She tried to cure his big heart-ache By feeding him on chocolate cake. And so these two, Donalda and Les, Having given the final "Yes,"' Into the car so stealthily got And went to Flesherton to tie the knot. Now their married life has begun With never a trouble and lots of fun. But oh! they decided, what a pity. To leave us all and live in the city. Now. dear friends, we wish .vou well With joy, so jBuch we cannot tell; Do plea.«e accept this little token Of our best wishes and love unspoken. May God above be your only guide, To safely lead whate'er betide In joy or sorrow, as He sees best, 'Ntaih His protecting wings to rest. â€" Signed by Wm. E. Walker and -N'orman Williams. Jobn Fawcetl Passes Word was received last week by Mrs. Down of the death of her brother John Fawcett which occurred on Dec. :Jrd at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Cairns of Winnipeg. Deceased had been at Kenno Hill, Yukon Territoi-y, for a number of years and was interes- ted in mining. In September of this vear he came home to visit his daugh- ters but the long journey seemed to weaken his constitution although his mind was clear and alert until the end. Low blood pressure and heart compli- cations hastened his death. He was bedfast just four days when he passed peacefully away, a beloved husband, father, and brother at the age of 82 years. Hi.«( remains were taken to Brandon to rest beside his wife who nredeceased him several years ago. He leaves to moum his loss three daughters, Jenny and Vera of Edmon- ••on.and Olive. Mrs. Cairns, of Winni- peg, also one brother Edward of .\llis- ton and two sisters, Mrs. Rowe, Barr- ie. and Mrs. Down, Flesherton. Mr. Fawcett was a son of the late Robert â- ind Elizabeth Fawcett. pioneers of Funhrasia Township, and former res- idents of Flesherton. y Card of Thanks W.> dpsire to sincerely thanlf the nnblie for the kind sympathy and as- sistance extended us in the terriblv •snHden nassfne of our husband and f-ither. the late Edward Fisher. â€" Mrs. Fisher and family.

An Appeal to Our Subscribers On January 1st the price of newsprint will increase by $10 to $12 i per ton, so we are advised by the paper mills. This means an in- j crease of nearly 20 per cent in the price of paper alone, while ink, ! type metal, rollers and other materials used in the publishing busi- j ness have also arvanced. The Dun.lalk Herald, and many other week- | ly papers have announced a raise to $2.00 per year and every daily j newspaper in Ontario has now increased its subscription by one ! dollar. I Despite these facts, the proprietors of The Advance are going to ? try to keep the subscription rate the same as at present, $1.50 per [ year in Canada, and $2.00 per year in the U. S. A. and the British | Isles. However, in order to do this we must have the co-operation of i all our subscribers â€" that is, please pay your subscription in advance. | Please do not get careless and get in arrears. Take a look right I now at the label on this paper, ami if you are in arrears, please remit | at once. We want you to have The Advance at the lowest possible cost, but we cannot continue at present rates unless you pay in ad- vance. The Advance would be a fine Christmas gift, one that will bring joy and interest throughout the coming year. Why not send it to that friend or relative.

All forms are actively engaged in writing examinations and, as is usually the case, there will likely be not a few sighs and laments a.s the results are posted. Examinations may be all right, but it is the results which we do not like. Unspector R. H. Wallace paid us a visit on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. .A.t the conclusion of his inspection he expressed his sympathy for us because we have started under such a handicap, but he seemed quite satisfied with our interest, scholarship ind behaviour. Now that the ice in the rink is ready, a hockey team will be formed, though not until after the Christmas holidays. We have an excellent in- structor in the person of Mr. Hutton, himself a hockey player of no mean repute. So, if the boys co-operate with Mr. Hutton, we should have a strong team. Have vou seen that amusing play called ''Station YYY?" Our bet is that .vou haven't. Well, if you'll come out next Tuesday, you'll see George Loucks as the mischievious boy who gets his own way by playing tricks on his father. You should see John Mon- aghan as the great radio fan, and Bill lamieson as the junior partner of a 'aw firm, looking for a wife, in the nerson of Kay Bannon. Marjoric •Stewart, the fiery young sister, and Retty Stewart, the friendlv wife, all help the plot admirably. Having ask- d yourselves that question it would Se to your advantage to read our ad. vortisenient elsewhere in this issue â- ind then come and hear this excellent nrograin. Other items of entertain- iient will make the evening enjoyable Mr. R. H. Wallace, high school in- .spector, made his olTicial visit to Flesherton high school on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. Inspector Wallace was a former student of Meaford high school and was also principal of Meaford Public School for some time. He spoke very highly of the -^'ork of Principal Eubank and statf and that the pupils were well along in their studies, despite the month lost in September when the paralysis epidemic was at its height. Inspector Wallace was consulted by members of the High School Boa- ' the requirements of accommodation for the teaching of manual training and household science, which are on the new curriculum, but which are n being taught in the Flesherton schoo' this year. Hydro lo New Area Expected ihis Week History is being made this week in the Maxwell and Feversham districts when it is expected that Hydro power will be turned on and lights become available for tho.se communities. The new line was tied-in to the line at the Eugenia corner on Sunday afternoon. Power is now available for a short distance east, but it is expected that the whole line will be connected this week and turned over to Mr. Jos. Corkill, who is in charge of this rural power area. There are at present (it! users signed to contracts and more are expected to sign when the line and other works are completed. The line commences at the junction of the Collingwood Gravel and the Eugenia road, through Rock Mills one and a quarter miles east, where a branch line continues to Maxwell, and thence along Cameron's suieroad to the 8th line, where it turns east and tinally ends at Feversham. One branch sToes west along the 8th line as far as the Hydro lake. The final opening of this section of the Rural Hydro System of Ontario is bringing to a climax efforts made for -ome years to bring Hydro power to the residents in the district covered by "he lines erected this fall. Plenty of oower can now be secured from the Hydro Electric Commission and with ^he lower rates now in operation ha? become available for the average far- mer.
