A number of the friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Banley gathered at their residence on Thursday evening for the purpose of expressing the kindly feelings they encercain towards them, and the regret they feel at their departuie from thu neighboihood. During the evening an address was read, and Mr. and Sirs. Hanley presented with a hand- some lea set. The address is as follows: To Mr. and Mrs. Uanley and family,^ j Dear Friends â€" We have gathered to- gether to-night ill your home to express I our rej'ret that you are .ibouc to remove from our neighborhood, to wish you a I farewell, and to give you our heartiest ! well-wishes for your prosperity and hap- piness in your new home.

You, Mrs. Hanley, have been excep- tionally faitliful and energetic in your work in connection with the choir and organ. We believe you made many sac- rifices for the sake of the church's work. We pray God's blessing to res;; upon you and trust that in the church with which you will have fellowship you will have abundant opportunities to use the talents God has graciously bestowed upon you. We ask you to accppt this token of our appreciation, to be a iitlle remembrance of the kind esteem in which you are held by your many friends. â€"Signed on behulf of the friends and members of Providence church, Mr. and Mrs. Uanley replied in a few well chosen words, after which the re- mainder of the evening was spent in a very enjoyable manner.

Dear Mr. Editor,â€" To one who spent some years in your vicinity The .Advance is as welcome and as newsy as a letter from home. I en- close herewith a renewal subscription. It may not be uninteresting to your read- ers in and about Maxwell to have a few words from this part of the west, central Alberta. We are nearing the end of our winter season, which has been delightful. No very cold weather till January which was very cold, 30 to 40 below, but very dry, no storms and just enough snow for sleighing. What liHle snow there is •eems to fall at night and so gently aa to be almost unnoticed. During February the temperature has been almost uniform, a few degrees below zero at bunrise to 40'above zero by 10 a.m., and simply de- lightful. Decidedly a contrast to Oaprey, where, if my memory serves me, twenty- four hours without a "snow" or a "blow" was a very rare occurrence â€" no blizzards or snow banks here. This section is adapted for mixed farm- ing. Land can be had from from Slii upwards, depending on quality and loca- tion. There i» no stone or swamps. Stone is worth S12 to S15 \tev cord. With three railroads no land is very far from stations. Land is relatively cheaper hero than anywhere else in the west, though with the special publicity ^ing given to central and northern Alberta the influx of set'lers will raise the prices. This land has plenty of wood, streams and drinking water. It reminds one of old Ontario and after several days trav- elling over barren and wind-swept prairies it looks like the pro.nised land.

We hope in this way to be able to give the general shopping and business public a service not to be excelled by any large up-to-date firm in the country, and by continuing to do business along broad liberal lines and straightforward dealing we hope to add many new customers to this already extensive business. Mr. F. T. Hill wishes to thank the general public for their liberal patronage in the past, and as he hopes to continue -with the new firm he promises them the same fair and liberal consideration for the future that has been the great stepping-stone to the success of this business in the past and under the new management a still better service which militates to the advantage of all. An old and established firm with young blood and ambitious ideas should prove to be an advantage, not only to the people who have shopping to do, but also to the making of Mai'kdale as a bigger market centre for the marketing of all lines and products of the farm at the highest market prices obtainable.
