The Good Friday concert in the Opera House, under the auspices,of the Salva- tion Army was in some respects a disap- pointing affair. Although a goodly number of tickets had been sold only a smail portion of the hall was occupied. Mr. P. Buchanan occupied the chair and in a short address spoke of the good work of the Army all over the world. He regretted the size of the audience and the fact that only half of the artists who had promised their services had put in an appearance. One young lady who was to play the piano was sick. However he said he had enough left to make a good entertainment. After prayer and praise, Mr. Peter Wilson sang "My Ain wee Hoose." He also sang "Mary" and ."Off to Philadelphia." His violin music was much appreciated, the numbers being, "Waverly," "Rob- in Adair" and '`Scottish Melodies." Mr. Fred Hinkley, the bandmaster played a banjo solo, and sang a song with banjo accompaniment. He also played two cornet solos "Killarney" and "Kathleen Mevourneen" which were greatly appreetated. Mr. W. H. Willis made a bit with his song "To err is Human, to forgive Divine " Mrs. Hanna and Mr. Willis acted as accom- panists. Band Sergeant ,Law 'contrib- uted a nice recitation. Taken all over the programme was a. very enjoyable one and the audience attentive and ap- preciative. Convention at Clinton The Huron County Branch of the Dominion Temperance Alliance, in a special convention held at Clinton on Tuesday of last week, apipointed a Field Secretary. A proposal had been made to have a Joint Secretary for Huron and the adjSsining county of Perth, but it was thought that there was as much work in the 26 municipali- ties of Huron as one man could reason- ably attend to, and the convention so decided. Rev. E. G. Powell of Exeter was appointed at $1,500,per year and expenses, and will enter at once on his duties. A resolution was carried, with great enthusiasm, heartily endorsing the action of the license commissioners of North Huron in refusing any exten- sion of licenses after May 1st, and ask- ing that deputations i be appointed to await on the commis,ners of Centre and l South Huron, protesting against any extension of the licenses in any part of the county. Zvery effort ie to be made to have the Loeal and Federal Governments do their utmost to have the Canada Temperance Act thorough- ly enforced, and eeri,ain amendments are to be aSked for in ,order to !secure the best results. Resolutions were aid° passed urging temPerance people to go into the prim- ariesiof their respeetive parties to se- cure the nominatioh and eleetion of can- didates who are straight on the temp- erance question. Provincial Officer Pliippen, of this ton was appointed to assist Mr. Pow- ell in the enforcing of the law. His duties ,will extend all Over the county, Mr. .Phippen is an excellent officer arid will do all in hit powee to see that the law is properly enforeed. The President, A. T.

If so, there is a way in which you, as a reader of this paper, dart help to make it more to your liking. It takes a lot of run- ning around, much time and some in- convenience for a newspaper to gather small news items such as personals, notices of small meetings, social gath- erings, afternoon teas, slight mishaps, etc. It is the business of the reporter to do this, of course, but even when he does his best there are always a few items left,over because he has not got in touch with those concerned or does not hear of them until it is too late. Now, the way in which you can help The Times is to call us up, drop us a line, drop in and tell us, or often you might conveniently write it out and mail it to us. Anyway, let us have an intimation of anything of news value just as soon as you become acquainted with it. We will appreeiate it and you will appreciate it and you will be mak- ing your paper that much better, Good Advige for Wingham.

"Every fly seen betvveen now and spring- time should be ruthlessly destroyed. The flies that have survived the winter are the flies that will reproduce millions more this summer if not killed now. Do your share in making Toronto a flyless town." The same advice might as wel be issued to the eitizens of Wingham in the effort to annihilate the fly nuiaance.
