NEW PIANO STORE
David Bell is moving into his
New Store this week.
For some time past we have felt the need
of better accommodation in order to meet
the demands of our growing business,
and it is with pleasure we extend a cor- •
ilial invitation to our many friends and
patrons to visit our new; showrooms,
which w ill be found to compare favorably
with any city music store.
In addition to carrying in stock a com-
plete Iine of Musical Instruments, Grama-
«phones and Sheet Music, etc, we have
been successful in securing as our Leader
the celebrated Nordheimer)r'iano, Nord-
heilner "Hamann Touch" Player Piano
and the world renowned Steinway Piano,
•nitruments which need no introduction
to the musical people of Canada, the
prices of which will be the same as quoted
in the Nordheimcr Co's. warerooms,
Toronto.
In order to celebrate this event we have
decided, that, for a short time, special
discennts will be allowed on all Pianos.
We again cordially envite you to visit our
New Store On Josephine Street.

THE CANADIANS IN BATTLE.
Canada awoke Monday morning to
read news that brought such acute'feel-
ings of grief and pride as the country
never knew before.
Our army at the front has been in the
fiery furnace of battle, suffering severe
losses and displaying, according to the
despatches, the highest qualities of
soldiers. At this moment the extent
of our losses is not definitely known,
but from the large number of officers
killed and wounded, it is to be feared
that the men who have fallen, killed
and wounded, will reach a serious total.
The Canadians seem for a time. to have
been cut off by the enemy and assailed
front and rear, but, true to the colors
they wore, fought on until, aid coming,
they made good what was lost -but
made it at a great price.
Many brave Canadians have given up
their lives in the great cause. We have
not learned yet as to whether any of
the Wingham boys were in the thick of
the fight.
Lieut. George Gordon Duncan, 10th
Battalion, 2nd Infantry Brigade, is
among the wounded. He is a son of
Rev, G. P. Duncan, of Port Credit, a
former pastor of the Presbyterian
Church at Whitechurch. Lieut. Dun-
can attended the Wingham High School
for some time and prior to enlisting
had been a member of the office staff
of the Consumers' Gas Company at
Toronto.
HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
The results of the Lower School Test

inations is 40% on each paper and 60
per cent of total mark's.; Reports have
been sent to the parents, giving the

tions of the teaching staff.
