In the death on Tuesday afternopn of Mr. Peter Fisher, after a few Weeks' illness, Wingharn has lost one of her oldest and most highly esteemed resi- dents. Mr. Fisher was born in Kinin, Perthshire, Scotland 83 years ago. He came with his parents to Canada in 1831 and settled in Osgoode, but in 1846 removed to Guelph where he learned the woollen manufacturing business. From 1853 until 1857, he had the management of the Guelph woollen mill, after which he was in business on his own account there, until 1863. In 1800 he purchased the Government water privilege in Wingham, on which he built saw, flour- ing and woollen mills, and was thus the founder of manufacturing in Wingleam. In 1875 his mills were destroyed by fire, but he at once formed a partnership with his brother, Archie and rebuilt. Mr. Fisher discontinued active business a number of 3;ears ago. On May 24th, 1884, fifty years ago, Mr. Fisher was tnarried to Miss Louisa E. Wright, of Guelph, who was the first bride brought into Wingham. Mr. and. Mrs. Fisher very happily celebrated their golden wedding last May, in early lite the subject of this sketch took an active part in political affairs and was for some years President of the • North Huron Liberal Association. He was also for some years Chairman of the North Huron Board of License Com- missioners. In religion he was a Bap- tist and was a tower a strength in the coisncils of his favorite church. He was well versed in his Bible and at ali times was active in the work of the Church and a regular attendant at church ser - owes, Mr. Fisher ies better known to the present generation as Wingbarn's postmaster. He was appointed to this position in 1807 and through the years of service since that date had never re- ceived a complaint of any kind from his superior officers. The service rendered to the public under Mr. Fisher was al- ways perfect and be was rightly regard- ed as "VVingliam's grand old man." He was well posted on all the leading ques- tions of the day the editor can recall many pleasant conversations' with our esteemed friend who has passed to his long -home. 1'o know Mr. Fisher was to respect him. He was a model man in every way and he set an example which any young man could follow with prollt. He was honest and upright in all his dea,lings. He imet , business re- verses, but through it all had a cheer- ful disposition and paid every creditor in full. Besides the bereaved widow, two sons and two daughters survive, -viz:- John; of Wingharn; Peter S., f Toron- to; Margaret and Mrs. Geo. C. Hanna. To the bereaved will be extended the sympathy of the community. The fun- eral will take place this (Thursday) af- ternoon at 2.30 o'clock for Wingharn cemetery. Service at the house at 2 o'clock. Friends are asked to kindly omit flowers. - Sale of Cattle, etc, An auction sale of hor will be held at lot124, c wanoah o Wedries , one p.m. sharp E. W.

Mr, Arch. Paterson is of the opinion that Black Minorca hens can prOduce larger eggs than any other breed of poultry. On Monday Mr. Paterson had six eggs weighed at Mr. MeGee's gro- cery store and they tipped the scales at 1 pound and six ounces. We would like to hear if any person can show a better record. Sold His Hardware Business, *4-, Mr. Alex Yc4ng has sold out his hard- ware business to Messrs. Ross and Bell, who will take possession about the first of August. The former has had con- aiderable experience in the hardware business' in Cargill, w bile the latter gentleman is from Paisley, /Mr. Yoting intends taking a trip to the 'West in the near future and as yet has made no definite arrangements as. to the future. He has been in business in Wingharn for over twenty years, and his retire- ment from business vvill cauee a break in the ranks of the older businessmen of the town. Stock Damaged by Fire. About 12.15 Friday morning the citi- zens were aroused bys the fire alarm, fire having generated in the basement of the store occupied by J. H. Baker, who was in London on business at the time. For a time 'it looked as if the blaze would be hard to extinguish, but after getting into the basement with a good force of water, while another etream played on the floor above, the firemen soon had it under control. The origin of the fire is not known, but it is thought it was caused by mice or by a cigar stub carlessly dropped through the grating. The damage was chiefly done by fire and smoke. Orange Celebration. Alarge number of our citizens left on the early morning trains on Monday to attend the Orange celebrations held at Arthur and Goderich. The local lodge accompanied by the Citizens' Band and a number of frienda left at 8,15 by the C. P. R. for Arthur, where a very successrul celebration was held, some sixty lodges taking part in the procession which was over a mile in length. The local lodge of the Orange Young Br itons, however, took the G. T. R. special at 7.05 for Goderich with nearly three hundred people from this locality; About forty visiting lodges took part in the procession and it is estimated that over ten thousand people were present. The nuinber of tickets sold at this point was 294 by the G. T. R. and 101 by the C. P. R.

XIIntil the new Armouries are finished, which it is expected will be by the end of this present month, the Wingharn Company of the 33rd Regiment in cOsa- mend of Capt. N. T. Sinclair, is holding preliminary drills in the Mills' Memorial Hall. The first parade was held on Tuesday night last, quite a number of the members of the Company being present. /4 From now until the Com- pany goes to °amp, drills will be held every Tuesday and Thursday evening at 7.30. In addition to this preliminary work, rifle practice at the Whitechurch Rifle Range is carried out each Satur- day afternoon. Quite a number of the members are availing themselves of this interesting feature of militia work, and .although early in the season some remarkably good scores have been made. The Company goes to Camp at Goderich on August 17th and the fea- ture of this year's training will be the seven days manoeuvres covering the ter- ritory between Goderich tied London. This is quite a departure Irons the reg- ular Camp routine, only four days being allotted to preliminary training.

A large crowd assembled at the park on Wednesday afternoon last to witness the Lacrosse match between Orange- ville and Wingham 0.A.L.A teams The game was called about 3,30 and our boys rushed the ball to the Orangeville goal and in five minutes Belcher scored the first goal. This was followed by Vanwycke and Sanderson raising the score to three after about ten minutes playing. Here the visitors got busy and when time was called the score was 3-3. In the second quarter Wingharn was again the first to score, but the visitors were warming up, at half time two goals each had been scored, mak- ing honors again even. In the first part of the second half Wingham succeeded in scoring twice and for a time honors stood 7-5 in favor of the home team. Again the brilliant plrying of Keith, Orangeville's 1st hotne man, brought the score to a tie. The last quarter was a poor exhibition of lacrosse, the home team being weakened by two men off. The visitors soon took advantage of the condition and rushed the play for the balance of the game, scoring three goals in succession, and thus winning the game with a score of 10-7. 'The game Was keenly contested throughout and some brilliant plays were made by Bel- cher, and Vanwycke, for the home team, while Keith of Orangeville did some very good Work, five of the goals being to his credit. The following was the line-up: - Wingharn Knechtel IL MeLean Gurney C. McLean Orangeville Goal Pooth Point Densmore C. Point Morrison 1st Def.
