A 1IECLTin Towle-Wingham is without a doubt one of the healthiest townsein Ontario. During the six months ending June 30th last, only 13 interments were made in the Wingham cemetery. Seven of the above number were children under 10 years of age. Taking out of this num- ber those who died in the vicinity of Wingham it will leave it that we live in one of the healthiest parts of Ontario, Loss OVA Honsoi )hief Vannormon was rather unfortunate in losing evalu- able race horse on Friday afternoon last.

T, R. has decided not to grant an improvement of the train service by allowing the London train to run to Palmerston instead of remaining at Wingham all night, on the ground that it would not add one dollar to the company's revenue.

SPEND IT IN Tower. -Money made in town should so far as possible be spent in town. The more money you keep in your com- munity the more there is to circulate. It is the dollar that remains here and passes from hand to hand that does the most good and not the dollar sent elsewhere never to return. The above rule should be carried out by every citizen of Wingham. Exnlntxroe PACLnc:-Mr. J. L. Doherty, of Clinton, who is here training Tommy IL, the guideless pacer, the property of Mr. W. Doherty, of Clinton, will give a free exhibition with this pacer on the Wineham track this (Friday) morning about nine o'clook. This, horse has pared a mile in 2.15 without prompting of any kind.

Horses are arriving daily and some that are already here can go in better than 2.10 Reduced railway rates are given on both the G, T.11, and C. P. R. All who aro fond of a good horse race should make it a point to be on hand on Wednesday and Thursday of next week. oREs•- ever in the history Sr N of Wingham were there better stores than we now have. Not only is the accommo- dation good, but the stocks carried are second to none, and there are very few things which any person wants, however particular he may be, that cannot bo had at some one of the splended stores' which are established in this progressive town. The merchants realize more and more that if they carry the goods the trade can be kept from wandering to other places. The only good excuse a resident of any town can have for going to other towns or cities to trade is that the prices are excess- ive in their own town or the quality of goods they want cannot be got in the town in which they live. Neither of these ex- cuses can be advanced in Wingham. A careful perusal of our advertising columns will show that our merchants are up-to- date in every respect. Tim TIMES will ever use its best iudeavors to advance the interest of this town and to bring the merchants and customers together to the advantage of both. Tun GARDEN PANTY.. -T110 garden party given by the 'Wingham Presbyterian Sab- bath School in the perkWednesday evening, was and unqualified success. The park was well ligbted with large aro lights and dozens of Chinese lanterns. The four beotbs, Canadian, Scotch, Japanese and Hebrew, were very pretty indeed -all ap- propriately draped, and beautifully decked with flags, bunting and Chinese lanterns. The attendants, dressed in oharacter, added zeal and novelty to the whole scene. The whole town was fully represented. It is estimated that there roust hays been close upon a thousand people present.. Tho town baud added largely to the enjoyment of all present by its excellent playing, and Mr. Anderson, the piper, like a true Seotohman, did his duty well. The young people who had the whole manage:neat of this unique garden party, are to be heartily congratulated upon their splendid success, and we aro authorized on their behalf to publicly express their sincere thanks to all who so generously and liberally assisted them in giving the most enjoyable and successful social party of the season. The total receipts is upwards of 5108.00. Civic Ilor,ii .-Civic holiday bus been proclaimed in a number of neighboring towns, but as yet we have not heard of any move being made in that direction in town.

He arrived home on Saturday evexiirg and is now about alright agaireVr FOOT BALL Meeen-A. foot ball match was played on the town park, on Wednes- day evening of this week, between the local club and the Listowel boys. There was not as large an attendance as there may have been, no doubt on account of the notice of the game being so short. The first half of the game seemed to be in Lis - towel's favor, they scoring the only goal that was scored. The Wingham boys were kicking against the sou and wind in the first half which told against them. In the second half our boys got down to business and succeeded in scoring three goals, leav- ing the ?core at the end of the game 3 to 1. The Listowel boys play good foot ball, and they have the combination down est, a thing which our boys are lacking. The game was a very good one from start to finish.
