FAMOUS 'ARTIST, •
G, A, REID DIES
Born In East' Wawanosh and Started
His Career In Wingham
George 'A. Reid, dean of Canadian
art,' and native of Huron County, died
at home in Toronto, Satnrday,
First Principal of the Ontario Col-
lege of .Artisits, Mr. Reid started out
in a small „studio in Winghark, and
gained international fame- for Canad-
ian art throughout the world, He stud-
ied art" in Philadelphia and Paris and
in the Canadian field is credited with
starting many brilliant careers.
His hard, early years were reflected
in the first important phase of hiS
painting, where he produced subject
studies whose canvasses carried all, the
deeper meanings behind the humble
scenes of the early Canadian farm.
Reid began as a radical in art, fol-
lowing his studies at the Philadelphia
Fine Arts School 'under Eakins, who,
though academic in reality, broke the
hard and fast rule that drawing should
precede painting, and taught his schol-
ars to combine the two.
George Agnew Reid was born July
25th, 1860, son of Adam Reid and
Eliza (Agnew) Reid, Scottish-Irish
pioneers, on their farm near Wingham.
He was the third. of nine children. The
arduous tasks facing the family kept
.him busy until the age of 19.
Reid branched out with a small stud-
io in Wingham and painted portraitS
and did a little teaching at Wingham
and Kincardine for two years.
Reid had two pictures hung in the
large salon, "Dreaming", in 1889, went
to the Royal Canadian Academy and
was purchased by the National Gallery.
"Logging", a Canadian scene painted
in Paris from memory, was also exhib-
ited at the Royal Canadian Academy.
Other important pictures that followed
were "Mortgaging the Homestead",
the diploma picture of the National
Gallery of 1890," "Berry Pickers", ex-
hibited at the Salon and purchased by
the Ontario Government, "Forbidden
Fruit", a hayloft scene, and "The
Story", all typical of his picturizations
of farm life,
Reid scored an even bigger success
in 1893 with "The Foreclosure of the
Mortgage," exhibited . in the leading
Canadian 'and United -States centres
winning the medal at the Chicago
World's Fair and the San 'Francisco
Winter Fair. "A Modern Madonna",
62 Simple character study was also. pro-
duced in• '1893, followed by "City and
Country", bought by the Ontario Gov-
ernment,
Mr. Reid was president of the Ont-
ario Society of Artists in 1897, at the
age of 37, and held this office until
1903. From this period until 1906,
when he became president of the Roy-
al Academy of Art, he painted, among
other works, "Mother and Child," "The
New Day", and "Iris" the beginning
of his adventuring into the realm of
symbolic painting.'
Mr. Reid was a leader in the found-
ing .of the Toronto Art Gallery, ;and
while president of the Royal' Academy,
initiated the movement for a perma-
nent art advisory council and time Nat-
ional Art Gallery,
He married in 1885, Mary Augusta
Heister, a student 'with him at the
Philadelphia Art School, and after her
death, Ile married Mary Evelyn
Wrinch, a former pupil, at Torontef in
1922, who survives,
Mr. Reid was the author of "Art Ed-
ucation in the United States, England,
Scotland, France and 'Holland."
He is survived by his widow, in Tor-
onto; two sisters, Mrs. Halpenny and
Mrs. Finlay, London, and one brother,

WOMEN'S INSTITUTE
The local Women s Institute Branch
held their August meeting last Thurs-
day, A sweltering heat, summer vaca-
tions, summer visitors, with added
household duties and other summer at-
tractions had already convinced these
in charge of a prospective small at-
tendance but they were mistaken—
very much mistaken. There, was a
splendid attendance of members and
several visitors. In fact several of the
hostesses entertained their lady guests
for one afternoon by bringing them
to the Institute meeting] I 'Mrs. Par-
ker reported a very successful can-
vassing of the members interested in

showed those interested how to make
the above salads.
Mrs. J. J. Brown gave a splendid
demonstration of 'pottery flower mak-
ing. She also had on display many
beautiful finished flowers in their nat-

grateful to Mrs. Brown for taking time
out of a very ;busy life to do this for
them.

Celebrated 80th Birthday
Mrs. Wm, Oakes, McDiarmid Street,
who was 80 years old on Sunday, cele-
brated the event with a small party on
Monday. v.021
We salt the attention of our readers
lo the fact that this issue of the Wing-
ham-Advance forgetting for the nonce
the present hyphenated title of this
family journal—is Vol. 75, No, 1.
The first issue of the Advance came
off the old Washington hand press on
September 5, 1873. The proprietor was
Mr. Charles Cliff of .Kincardine, with
Mr. James Fleuty as /publisher, This
arrangement ;existed for one year,
when Mr. Fleuty- became owner and
publisher.
The Advance was; first located in a
two-storey frame building at the ex-
tteme south end of Josephine street,
owned by Mr, Isaac Ireland. This
structure was razed so many- years ago
that only the oldest inhabitant will re-
member that it was 'ever there. The
printing plant was shortly removed to
the then busy. Victoria Street.
Wingham was not then even an in-
corporated village, but a railway was
under • construction through the town
to Kincardine and the citizens, were
hopeful for a bright future.
The seventy-four years that are now
behind the life of The Advance lage
witnessed a number of changes in its
ownership and in its journalistic op-
position. Now and again other weekly
publications were launched on the jour-.
nalistic sea but were wrecked on the
rocks of non-support, (while The Ad-
vance kept sailing along on an even
keel. 9r, It is a far cry from. the flourishing,
modern Wingham of today - back to the
date of the first issue of The Advance
At that time a lady's calling card was
printed on the cumbersome big hand
press, and that surely took consider-
able skill. All type was hand set. To-
day we have modern type-setting ma-
chinery and automatic presses. In the
words of Brudder Gardner of the Lime,
Kiln Club "De World do move." •
Now The Wingham Advance and
The Wingham-Times, the latter hav-
ing 'been started a year before The Ad-
vance, are amalgamhted,, and, the title
is The Advance-Times! The present
publisher wishes at this time to ex-
tend his sincere thanks to the public
of all this district for the liberal sup-
port .The Advance-Times is receiving.

ANNIVER, SERVICES
Among visitors to Wingham at the
occasion of The Salvation Army's
Corps Anniversary was Major Harvey
G, Banks, now retired and living in St.
Petersburg, Florida, and Bandsman
Russell Reeve of Chatham Citadel.
The 61st Anniversary week-end was a
time of great rejoicing and reunion
among former comrades .and men and
women ,who have left Wingham but
returned for these services,
Major Banks with the late Mrs.
Banks and family were "stationed" at
Wingham Corps in 1906, Bandsman
Reeve was a convert of The Army's
in 1905, to which fact he testified
movitigly during the Saturday even-
ing "Old Fashioned Army Night" ser-
vice. Many 'old timers' gave ;brief but
graphic accounts of former 'battles',
and Mr. H. Hopper gave some of his
impressions of Salvation warfare in
this place declaring that he had always
been a 'Salvationist in spirit'.. Mr. Hop-
per vividly recalls how, when he was
a young man, The Salvation Army
'opened fire' in November 1886,
' The Sunday services were led on by
Capt. Alex Ttirnbull of Listowel Cita-
del, and again through the day\many
old Salvation Army songs and hymns
were revived and sung, comrades and
visitors testified to God's goodness,
and messages in music by the Band
were an inspiration and blessing.
From among the many letters of
greeting and .congratulation to Wing-
ham Corps on this Anniversary oc-
casion, Corps Secretary F. V. Russell
read messages from Major A, G, Ash-
by (Chattanoga U.S.A.), 'Capt.
Auld (R), Brock Avenue, Toronto;

former Wingham residents and Offi,

but were prevented by elrettegstaness

William Nethery, 63, was instantly
killed at his East Wawanosh farm
home on Highway No, 4 Tuesday of
(last week when a team of horses, pull-
ing a binder, took fright and dashed
'through the barn door knocking the
-elderly man to the ground, The heavy
!binder wheels passed over his body and
death was instantaneous.
Mr. Nethery, a life-long resident of
that homestead farm where he died,
was driving the horses -from the barn
when the animals suddenly became
skittish and then bolted out of control,
It was believed flies may have start-
ed the horses on their bolt. Mr. Neth-
ery was struck on the side of the head
by a portion of the machinery and
knocked to the ground where the
wheels of the binder passed over his
body. In
