Other things may give- relief
but perfectly adapted glasses

Bicycling on Sidewalk
A number of persons still persist in
riding their hicycles on the sidewalks
of the main street, in spite of all prev-
ious warnings. One evening last week
a cyclist trade arse of the sidewalk at
the north end of•joaephinestreet and had
a narrow escape from running int a
number of pedestrians. This is a dan-
gerous practice and if persisted in may
memiememo melee oomen. terminate in a serious accident.
MAKES PRESENTATION •
A very pleasant evening was spent at
the home of Mr. Chester Copeland on
Monday where the girls of the "Loyal
Blues" Sunday School Class and a num-
ber of friends presented their teacher.
Mise Margaret Tibbs, prior to her re-
moval from our midst, with a kitchen
shower and an oak rocking chair accom-
panied by the following address:-
Wingham, July 19th, 1915.
To Miss Margaret Tibbs.
Dear Miss Tibbs: -We, the mem-
bers of your Sunday School Class,
known as the "Loyal ,Blues," desire
to express to you our appreciation
of you as our teacher. We have
always found you patient, kind and
thoughtful of our welfare. It
seemed to us that we were con-
stantly on your mind and heart.
Our welfare was your first thought;
your constant devotion and untiring
efforts were always manifest, so
much so, that we could not come in
contact with you without feelings
of inspiration. We cannot find
words to adequately express the re-
gret we feel at your removal from
the class and school. We trust,
however, that you will be slightly
compensated in knowing that it is
our purpose to aspire to the nobility
of character which your teaching
has encouraged. We pray that our
Immanuel may have the continuous
leadership of your life and that some
day we shall be reunited in the
"Summerland of, Song." As a
slight token of our appreciation we
ask you to accept this rocking chair
and as you use it you will remember
the girls of "The Loyal Blues" of
Wingham Methodist Sunday School
Signed -Marjorie Harrison, Ella
Cook, Lila Bell, Alma Cook, Cora
Hingston, Flossie Haines, Gertrude
Bone, Irene Scott.
On Thursday of last week the choir of
the Methodist Church met at the home
of Mr, Frank Hill and presented Miss
Tibbs with a linen shower.
On Tuesday evening at the parsonage
upwards of forty of the officers of the
Sunday school, presented Miss Tibbs
with a set of cut glass and a mahogany
table. A hapyy social time was spent,
presided over by Superintennent W. F.
Buchanan, Miss Tibbs, who has been
connected with the Sunday School work
for many years, carries with her the es-
teem and well wishes of a host of
friends who wish her many happy years
in her new home.

Managing a Business.
The three essentials in managing a
business suceessfully are advertising,
salesmanship and service, and there
three are so closely allied that speaking
of the one it is almost impossible to
keep from speaking of the others;
especially is this so when speaking of
advertising. -Canadian Grocer.
Death of Mrs. Turner.

week record the death of Mrs. John
Turner, of West Wawanoah, who passed

wanosh, near Pordyee. She was highly
steemed by a large circle of friends
who will extend sympathy to the
hereaved husbsnd and two small
,;hfldren.

You Can Help the Editor.
One of the most difficult tasks in a
newspaper office is in getting the facts
relative to births, marriages and deaths
in the community. Many people take
it for granted that when a person dies
the editor is familiar with every detail
of the life of the deceased and his ac-
tivities, when as a fact he sometimes
knows absolutely nothing about him,
but he has to get his information from
other sources, same as other persons
would have to do. It is the same with
marriages or other more or less import-
ant happenings in the community. In
almost every case the editor has to dig
up the particulars or satisfy himself
and the readers with a meagre and in-
accurate account. The patrons car,
hardly overestimate how much he ap-
preciates any efforts they make in
furnishing him the facts for news
items. Send your items of news to the
TIMES.
