Mr. Richard Heron, of the well-known Osprey Woollen Mills, has been nearly forty years a member of the Sons of Temperance, having joiuetl Harvest Home lodge in the Co. of York when he was sixteen years of age. The carol singers were out early on Christmas morning, and the sounds uf sweet music evolved on the occasion caused a temi>orary illuiuiuation of many residences in Flesherton. Wc are glad to notice that this beautiful and time-hoiiure<l custom is still kept up in this town. May it ever Im) thuK. Mr. A. W. Rowe, of Dundalk, will visit Flesherton in the course of a few weeks for the purjwso of organizing a Young Mens Protestant Benevolent As- sociation lo<1go here. He has asked us to tell those who arc desirous of becom- ing members of the Society to leave their names with the Editor of Thk Ad- vance as soon as possible. ROLLER FLOUR.

Nkwhalk, Dec. 20.â€" Dear Sir, you will find enclosed $1 to pay for Thk Advance for the year 1888. I have had copies sent me during part of this year and like it very wolL I hojie your Maxwell oorrespondent will kee]) his ears open as that is the part which interests me most. 1 was going to send you some I NeWdal* items, but I am very busy and ! besides they could not be of interest to ; most of your readers. However, this I part, ami I think the whole province, ,' is enjoying unusual prosperity. Far- mers hare had abundant crops and fair prices. It is useless for me to give tlio \ yield as Ontario farmers would not be- I lieve it. The best thing they o«vn do, is to come out and see the country. If they would, Ontario would soon be depopu- lated.â€" Josub Oamit, jr. . .• BAKGAIHS! .> Immense Bargains ! NOW GOING ON AT RUSSELL'S NOTED JEWELRY STORE, FLESHERTON!

Tlie Presbytcriiiu Sabbath School Anniversary held hero last Monday evening was a success iu every particu- lar. Tlie flue larj^e lecture room of the church was filloil to the doors. The decoratious disi)layed excellent taste. S. S. liaiincrs were hung ou the walls- along with several neatly lettered and appropriate niotUios, and ou the wall just bcliiiul the imlpitâ€" lu beautiful rus- tic letters â€" was the cheering word "wel- oimc." The platform occupied centrni position at the fvciut of the room, from which the luerry eyes of a largo num- ber of bright chililreii looked out n{)on the auillitoriiuii. To the right of the childreu arose tlie tall aud graceful form of an evergreen, which was covered with Christmas presents for the little folk. As a Anishiiig touch to tliis charming scene, the well-known aud kindly fea- tures of the pastor, Kev. A. Wilson, and the suiKjrintendeut, Jos. Blackburne, Esq., looked forth upon the smiling faces of the vast assembly of i>oople. Thu singing by Uio children was simply beautiful, while the reoitations and dia- logues were rendered iu an excellent manner. Miss Damude presided at the organ, and the muRtcal exercises were conducted by Mr. J. G. Russell in a very croditablo manner. An exceedingly well rendered recitation by Mr. Thomp-. son, and a grand Scottish song â€" "Mw din Co)(ntr''<" â€" by that prince of vocal-! ists. Mr. -Andersiiii, arc ileserving of s{>ecial mention ; also a tliriliiiig reci* tatioii by Miss Hogg, of Flesherton Station. The cantata, "Tht: iftitr of Bethiihem." was chariniiiglv rendered. Thost; who particularly distinguished themselves in the cantata were Miss VanDusci), Miss Damiule, Miss Cole, Miss CJordon, Miss .May Damude, Mr. J. G. Russell and Mr. .1. H. .-Viiderson. Miss Christoe presided at the orgau part of the time. .Shortly aftt^r nine o'clock this interesting eute'rtaiumeu^ was brought to a dose by the singing of the doxology, after which the fruits of the Xmas tree were distributed among the childreu. The Librarian's and Secretary's report gave a very healthy showing.
