Wingham High School Cadet Corps is now almost ' fully organized At a recent election, J. A.

Are You In Business For Business? If you had an opportunity or address - 1,000 people in a hall with the privilege of delivering an address on your busi- ness and the wares you sell, you would be apt to make the address as interest- ing as possible, so that your hearers would listen and you would profit by it. It is just the same with an advertise- ment in the Times. You have the privilege of talking every day to.hun- dreds of people and if you are selling honest goods and tell the people about them in a,straight-forward manner you cannot avoid reaping a benefit. But bear in mind that no man can get out as good an advertisement for your business as you can. You know all the little details, the goods you bought at a bargain and all that. Successful Horse Fair. - The first horse fair under the aus- pices of the Wingham Business Men's Association was held on' Wednesday last and was most successful for the first fair. There was a large crowd of people in town for the afternoon and many of them came from a long distance. There were a number of horse buyers and were ready to buy horses but there was too much difference between the price offered by the buyer and that de- manded by the seller. There were, however, a number of horses changed hands. The next fair will be held on Tuesday, February 2nd and there will again be a number of buyers present. The prizes offered by the Business Men's Association were awarded as follows:—Heavy draught team, Jas. Forster, West Wawanosh; general purpose team, J. G. McKenzie, Culross; single driver, R. Ormston, of Tees - water. Off to Mission Field.

A pioneer resident of this section passed away at Wilmer, m r, Sask., on Jan- uary 12th, in the person of Mr. John Linkluter, in his 87th year. Mr. Link - later had enjoyed good health up to a short time prior to his death. He was born in Orkney Islands and came to Canada over fifty years ago, being then quite a young man. He worked for a few years in the County of Lanark, near the village of Packenham, at the trade of shoemaker. In 1855 his father and mother also came out with the rest of the family, ten in all, three of the brothers had been out previous to this. Eventually they all moved to the Huron tract as it was then called, and for a good number of years resided within its borders. In fact five of the family besides the parents have died in Wingham and vicinity, all living to a good old age. Shortly after coming to Wawanosh he married Miss Betsy Gar- rick and started to hew out a home for themselves on the place known as the salt -well farm, now the property of Wm. Arbuckle. Here they raised a family of ten children, three boys and seven girls, of 'whom three of the girls are deceased, viz: Mrs Smith aid Mrs. Jones who died out at the coast. and Jessie who died in Manitoba. The surviving children are: John, principal of Gananoque public school; James and Mrs. Ireland, of Sask.; William and Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Harper and Miss Agnes, stenographer, of Manitoba. His widow also survives. The deceased was a rul- ing elder in the Presbyterian church, Wingham, from its first inception till he and his family moved West in 1883. He had a quiet and unasumming manner, devoted and sincere in his religious con- victions Like the stern apostle to the Gentiles he put his duty to God first and at the same time applied the gold- en rule in all his acts and doings in every day life. He was the means of starting one of the first Sabbath Schools in this section of the country, in No. 9, East Wawanosh, in which he acted as Superintendent till he moved out West. No doubt but this Sabbath School was quite a factor in moulding the minds of the youth at that early time as they are the men and women of to -day and are scattered throughout the length and breadth of our wide Dominion. Hert 1-Iume, aged seventeen, fell two stories down an elevator shaft at the London Foundry and was instrntly kill- ed, at the close of the second day of employment there. CHANGE OF BUSINESS.

DISTRICT PRESS CONFERENCE. The third of a series of Press con- ferences comprising the counties of Perth, Huron, Oxford and Waterloo, was held in Stratford on Monday, under the auspices of the Canadian Press As- sociation. The meeting was of the "Get Together" order for extending ers ac u i personal q a ntanceships and the discussion of matters of mutual inter- ests. The St. Thomas Times said in its welcome of the opening conference at that city last Friday; "No business in the world, perhaps presents greater cdmplexities and intricacies than that of g i thering m,the„happenipgs of the universe and presenting them to thou- sands of intelligent readers daily in brief and comprehensive form. No business is so encompassed about with restrictions and unavoidable expendi- tures; no business calls for the exercise of greater tack, diplomacy and execu- tive ability than the management of a newspaper. Nor is there any class of men in the world who so unweariedly labor for the welfare of mankind and individual Communities, and apparently principally merely for their health, as the average newspaper man.” Excel- lent addresses were delivered by W. M. O'Beirne, of the Stratford Beacon, President .of the Canadian Press As- sociation; W. E. Smallfield, of the Ren- frew Mercury, chairman of the Ontario and Quebec division of the Canadian Press Association; John M. Imrie, of Toronto, manager of the Canadian Press Associations; E. Roy Sayles, of the Port Elgin Times; Lorne Eedy, of the 'St. Mary's Journal. At the afternoon session a Huron and Perth Press Association was formed to take the place of the present Huron County organization. Officers were elected as follows:—Honorary presi- dent, W. R. Davis, Mitchell Advocate; president, H. B. Elliott, Wingham Times; secretary -treasurer, Alex. Abraham, Stratford; executive mem- bers, the officers and Lorne A. Eedy, St. Marys Journal; J. W. Vanatter, Goderich Star, and C. V. Blatchford, Listowel Banner. AN ENEMY ATTACKS OUR FRONT WITH KNIVES.
