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.

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.

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. Married in Crestline.
