Farmers Please Note
In another column in this paper
will be found an advertisement by
the Department of Agriculture call
ing attention to the danger of farm
ers Using seed without having ger
mination tests made of it. A careful
perusal of this advertisement may be
of very great value to many of our
farmers. We know that most farm
ers are particular about sowing good
seed free from weed seeds and with
a high germination test but some
times these matters are left off until
it is too near sowing time to have
these tests properly made, and so this
advertisement will just call their at
tention to the necessity of having
this work done in good time before
seeding begins.

60 years ago, was another such day
as March 7th this year. The day was
bright and mild in the morning but

of 1877 was much like the present
one. There was practically no .sleigh

March but re recalled that there was
considerable snow in April.

Church. The two attendants at the
wedding were Rachel Shiell, later
Mrs. C. McConnell, of Detroit, who
passed on some years ago, and Mr.
Alexander Kelly, formerly of Wing
ham, but now residing at Swift
rent, Sask.
Mr. and Mrs. MacKay since
ing to Culross, years ago, have
residents of this district, and for the
past 28 years have lived on the Wing
ham-Whitechurch road. They both
despite their many years, are enjoy
ing good health and we, together with
their many friends and acquaintances,
extend congratulations and the wish
that they will be spared to enjoy
many more years of happy life to
gether.'
This’venerable couple have eleven

don of Whitechurch; John A., of
Wawota, Sask.; Mrs. J. (Sara) Mar

introduced the speaker of
ing, Mrs,* Merryweather, a mission
ary from the Soudan in Africa.
Her first field was jn Northern Ni
geria among a primitive pagan tribe
of cannibals called the Tungalis- Af
ter laboring here for many years she
was rewarded by seeing many of these'
black children being able to read the
Bible" and spread the good news of
the Gospel wherever they went.
The speaker was then transferred
to a girls' school at a place called.
Washishi. There were 15 girls there
when she went first but when she
left twelve years later there were 50
girls.
She now moved one thousand miles
farther south and had to learn an
other new and more 'difficult langu
age. Here she .and her husband labor
among the Mchamedans. They are
hard people to approach but they have
finally succeeded in establishing Jour*
churches.
In all these places the presence of
leopards, snakes, the mosquito with,
its burden ^of death, and the roars of
lions at night bring these Missionar
ies close to danger at all times, but
under God’s protecting care they are
able to carry on and spread the gos-.

After thanking the speaker the
president, called on Mrs. Kenneth
MacLean who gave the closing pray

The remainder of" the evening was
