Prior to his departure, Mr. Ricker waspresented with a gold mounted umbrella by the Young ladies' Bible Class of the Methodist Sunday School and last week the pupils of the Wingham High School presented him with a gold watch fob, accompanied by the following address:— Wingham, Sept. 19, 1915. Dear Mr Ricker:— We the students of the Wingham High School have learned with re- gret that you have severed your connection with our school During • the past two years we have always found you to be a zealous teacher, and a true friend. During that time, also, under your guidance, we have learned that confidence in a teacher is one of the essentials of true education. We have had that essential. One and all we have learned to esteem you very highly for your own, and for your work's sake. In your new sphere, and amid new surroundings we trust your mem- ories of the W.H.S. will be plea- sant, as indeed ours will be. There- fore we ask you to accept from us this slight token of our esteem and regard not on account of its materi- al value, but that wherever you may be it may call to your mind memories of the students of Wing - ham High School. Signed on behalf of students: JOHN C. HUTTON (Pres. of Lit. Soc.) ELLEDA M. MATHERS JOHN- J. CAMPHELL. Thanksgiving Day. The Dominion Cabinet last week de- cided that Thanksgiving day this year be observed on Monday. October llth. Small Fruit Good Quality. Lombards and Gage plums are now in their prime. Canning and preserving should not be postponed. The quality this year is high in both peaches and plums, due to the fact that the trees are not overburned. Crawford and Elberta peaches are now arriving. They are the best product of our Canadian orchards and are supreme, both for eating apt] preserving. With First Battalion. Mrs. Maxwell, last week received a letter from her son, Ross, dated "Somewhere in France", Aug. 24th. He said that was all he could tell of his whereabouts or time of arrival.

Huron County Council at a special meeting at Goderich on Monday, unanimously decided to guarantee the expenses of bringing the33rd Battalion, now at London, to the county to stimu- late recruiting, and to further increase the county's grant of $1,000 per menth to the Canadian Patriotic Fund to $6,000 a month from October to March, 19]6, and $5,000 per month from April 1, 1916, as long as the County Council deems necessary.

Mayor, the eminent Eye Specialist, of Toronto, recently in Brussels, Lucknow, Ripley and Wroxeter, I came to the conclusion that he was the proper man to engage to teach us the advanced "Shadow test System." Remember: he will test all eyes free at my store each morning, afternoon and evening, for one week. Glasses advised only where necessary and satisfaction guaranteed. This man is favorably known in nearly air parts of Ontario. So if you consult him you are consulting the best. Mr. Mayor will be at my store from Sept. 23rd to 29th. J. W. MCKIBBON. Death of Rev, J.

Io the first game of the finals in the Northern Baseball League play on the town park on Friday afternoon last, Wingham defeats Walkerton by a score of 11 to 1. Walkerton motored down with a number of fans, with the inten- tion of cleaning up on the Wingham boys in the same manrer as they did with other teams in their district. But in this they were disappointed and it looks as though Wingham are slated to win the League. The game was play. ed under fair conditions the weather being rather cool. However, a good crowd was in attendance and both teams played excellent ball. Telfer was in his usual good form and pitched a steady game for the home team, having Walk- erton under control throughout the game. His support was excellent and always on the alert. Anderson, who pitched for the visitors did excellent work until the six innings when he lost speed and Wingham, as a result, got the first three runs. McCarthy, the catcher for the Walkerton team, caught a faultless game and let nothing pass him. The game was a pitchers' battle until the sixth innings, when Wingham made three runs. This seemed to be the un- doing of the visitors for although they got the only run of the game in the seventh. Anderson now showed signs of weakening. In the seventh the home team grinded out two more runs, but in the eight the climax came, with two out and three on bases, Telfer smashed out a third bagger. Then White, with one on base, made a home run. This brought the tally up to eleven. In the ninth, Wallace and Smith fanned, La- france made a safe hit and reached first, then W. Smith struck to centre field, whp made a long throw to third, putting out Lafrance and cutting Walkerton off without a run. The Teamns:-,..

Much sympathy is expressed for the bereaved parents, especially as they have now lost the twin sons within a few weeks. The remains were taken to Toronto on Monday and interment made in St. James' Cemetery. Will Build Sheds The meeting held in St. Paul's Church on Monday afternoon to discuss the question of building a church shed was not very well attended, owing to the farmers being busy. It was decid- ed, however to go on with the work and committees were appointed to pro- ceed with a canvas of the congregation. The building will be 40 x 60 fest and will be of arch steel roof with cement walls and will cost $600. At the meet- ing on Monday $100 was subscribed and it is not thought there will be any difficulty in procuring the balance of the money. Weekly Market in Wingham. Mr. A. H.
