T. Durrant of Belgrave preached accept- ably. in Winghana Methodist Church. Rev. Dr. Rutledge preached Epworth League anniversary sermon at Briek Church, East Wawanosh. Wingham district Epworth League convention will be held this year in Teeswater.

Next Sabbath evening, the pulpit of St. Andrew's Church will be occu- pied by the pastor, who will preach a special sermon on "Missions." The loose collection at this service will be given to the Woman's Foreign Mis- sionary Society. Referring to the re -opening services of Fergus Presbyterian Church, the News -Record of that town says—Rev. David Persia of Wingham conducted the services of the day, and in a quiet, unassuming, but forceful manner, preached two splendid sermons, that were listened to by large and delight- ed audiences. Next Sunday, October 9th, will be the anniversary of Whitechurch Pres- byterian Church. A former pastor, Rev. G. R. Duncan, evill preach morn- ing and. evening.

Duncan, addresses by several ministers, " and music by Wingham Presbyterian choir, and Brussels talent. A good evening's entertain- ment is.promised. Last Sunday was Children's day in Wingham Presbyterian Church. In the morning, the pastor preached especially to the children. In the afternoon, an interesting program was rendered. Rev. D. Perrie preach- ed again in the evening, and the day's services are reported successful and profitable. In these days, when it seems difficult to win adults to Chris- tian service, the churches do well to concentrate effort on the young. As it appears to the editor of this paper, the Church most successful in develop- ing "workere" tow, from the ranks of the young people, will be the most useful Church in the years to come. Hence the value of the efforts now made in the Sunday Schools of our country. A Further Operation. It is a matter of sincere regret that the effort to save the remaining fin- gers of Mr. Fred Johnston's injured hand has not been successful, and on Tuesday the mangled fingers were amputated. Mr. Johnston has suf- fered much during the past few weeks but it is hoped that now the injured band. will heal, though the loss of the fingers is a very serious matter. Our splendid Smoot, SIIOES at $1.25, $L50 to $2.00, are much cheap- er Shoes to buy than any sort of "Bargain Shoes."—W. J. GREER, Sad Case Of Suicide. Death in any case, brings sorrow to bereaved friends, but more poignant still is the grief, when death is hasten- ed by the individual's owtt aet. On Thursday, Sept, 29th, Mr. Dan, Rosa of Kinloss, about a mile and a half north of Whitechnreh ended his own life, He had been expected to assist at a threshing at Mr. Ferry's and as he did uot'appear, enquiry was naade at his home. Ile could not be found there, and Search was made throtigh the fields, and around the barn. Ile Wee tinnily found hanging to the beam of A root -house near the barn, with life extinct. The alarm wits given, but it is supposed that he had been there for some length of three. De., ceased was in good circurristanees, and in the prime of life. No cause an be assigned for the rash aet, and as one neighbor rertearked, "he WAS tha last young matt of whom euch an act 'would be thought possible." His aged mother, who bat been In ill health for some time, and hie sieter, Miss Mary, at home, ate almost, overevheltned the terrible morrow that came eo ir ad- denly upon theta There are also eeven other brothers and one sister living at a distatce. The entire fatal- ly are deeply aympathized With, la their sad bortatanteitt, WINGHAMI ONT., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 60 1910. THE MOIR INQUEST, The inquest on the death of the late Joseph. Moir was held in the Council room on Thursday evening., Coroner J. P, Kennedy presiding, The jury were—A. H. Musgrove, E. H. Bird, E, Lewis, Robt. Allen, 0. N. Griffin, Jas, G. Stewart, W. J. Johnston, Abner Cosens, V. R. Vannorman, R. S. Mc- Clee, J. W. MoKibbon, W. J, Greer, A. Young and 11. B. Elliott, with A. H. Musgrove as foretnan, all answered to their names. Mr. R. Vanstone ap- peared for the Crown, Miss Barber as stenographer, recorded the evi- dence. Wm. Lepard was the first witness, On the 23rd inst., he was going along the road near Wm. Mitchell's; saw a man driving towards him; when he reached the top of the hill, he blew his horn and stopped the machine. There was a slight hollow between theta The driver of the rig stopped and turned his horse around, when the horse reared, breaking the breechin strap on left. Mr. Macdonald, who was with witness, went to help the man but by that time the horse had got too far away; saw the rig turn the corner and enter a cut ; when the rig was again visible, the top of the buggy was off. He then hurried to the place, and found the deceased un- conscious, lying on his face. Saw a man at a distance and called him, and asked him if he should take the in- jured man to the hospital; decided to do so and told the man to let injured man's friends .know; brought Mr. Moir to the hospital. To the jury, witness said he stepped the distance and found it about 120 yards from where be stopped to where Mr. Moir turned. The auto remained where it first stopped until they saw the .rig come out of the cut with the top off; they then hurried to the 'scene. John Macdonald was next, witness. He was with Mr. Lenard at the time; machine. stopped 120 yards distant; went to help when he saw the horse was going too fast; be then went back; could see breechin loose; they then hastened to the cut in question and found Mr. Moir as described by Mr. Leopard. Frank Wylie corroborated state- ments of previous witnesses, in the main. Thos. Goy was then called. Heard a rig rattling over the gravel ; looked up and saw it turning corner and up- set; saw the horse coming; -left his team in the field and tried to stop ,it, but failed; went to where the accident occurred, identified the injured man as Mr. Moir, and helped,to place him in the auto. Mr. Lepard told him to let man's frieisds know, and he would come back for them if necessary. Wm. Mitchell was next witness. He did not see the accident, but had examined the road closely. His evi- dence shed no new light on the matter in question. James Moir, son of deceased, testi. fled as to the disposition of the horse; 'never knew him to run away before; considered his father could drive any horse; father was not a fast driver, and that horse would go no faeter than he was urged to go; horse came home without rig, checked up, and harness broken, lines trailing, breast collar gone. Dr. Tatolyn gave evidence as to the result of the poet -mortem exam- ination. He had . found Mr. Moir's face badly bruised, two ribs broken in front, two others broken behind, and the sharp end of one penetrating the lungs; found much blood; considered death caused by internal hemorrhage; What he found was quite sufficient to cause death. Fred Foxton saw Thos. Goy try to stop Mr. Moir's horse, and saw horse break loose from buggy; saw the auto when at the place.where Mr. Moir was Mrs. McCormick was next witnese. She lives on the corner; did not see the accident. Mr. Goy came to tell her ;, she then went down to the cor- ner; saw the buggy top; gathered up the things and put them in the top. The jury then retired in charge of Chief Allen, and in about twenty min- utes returned agreed on the verdict, in substance as follows :— That the death of Joseph Moir was caused by injuries received by being thrown from his buggy, but whether the accident was caused by the break- ing of the harness, or the fright of the horse at the automobile, we cart net determine, The driver of the auto. had used the usual precautions, end no blame whatever eould be attached to him.

Magnificent autumn weather favor- ed Wingham Pall Fair, brought a bumper crowd to town, made possible a large and varied exhibit, gladdened the hearts of the directors, and swell- ed the gate receipts to a very grati- fying sum. About 1.30 p.m. on the second day, the Pipers' Band and the Citizens' Band headed the procession of school child- ren, each child bearing a flag. They looked very pretty, marched well, and numbered nearly 350. The inside exhibit was very good. Perhaps too little interest is manifest- ed in exhibiting manufactures. This may be for lack of room, but if our factories would each make an exhibit, it would add to the interest of the fair. j. G. Stewart had specimens of the Pandora range in view. Kerr & Bird exhibited some of their leading lines of dry goods. Thos. Kew ex- hibited team and single harness of his own manufacture, showing good workmanship. On his display of har- ness and rugs, he captured four prizes. Grain was fair in quantity and good in quality; roots and vegetables were abundant. Fruit, as might be ex- pected this year was short in quantity and low in quality. Dairy and pro- visions were web represented and up to the mark. Plants and flowers were pretty and numerous. In fine arts and ladies' work, there was a fair display. The exhibits in horses was large, and it was nearly six p.m. when the judges completed their work. Cattle were better than usual, and there were some fine pens of sheep. The poultry exhibit was one of the best, and indi- cates increasing interest in this branch. Wingham Citizens' Band and Luck - now Pipers' Band furnished abund- ance of good music. The Concert in the evening was quite an attraction, the hall being full to the doors. Jimmy Fax, J. II. Cameron, Miss Pearl O'Neil, elocution- ist, and Harvey Robb, pianist, fur- nished an excellent programme, and greatly pleased the audience. The Fair was a success from first to last, and goes on record as the best the Society ever held. The receipts were as follows :—gate receipta, 5551- 05; children's parade, 515,85; grand stand, 550.60; concert, 5180.90; total for the day, 5709.30. The Prize list will be found on pages 4 and 5. GOLDEN WEDDING. The passing of the fiftieth annivers- ary of their wedding day cannot fail to bring retrospect to the participants. Fifty years do not pas i without bring- ing merry changes, and numerous sor- rows as well as a share of joy. Such doubtless has been the experience of Mr. and Mrs. James Walsh of the Oth concession of East Wawanosh, who celebrated their Golden Wedding on Tuesday, Sept. 27th. Mr. and Mrs. Walsh were married in St. John's Church, London Town- ship, Sept. 27, 1860. Mr. Walsh is of Irish descent, and Mrs. Walsh, Cana- dian, and both are still in good health. Their strong constitutions were im- partecl. to their nine children, five daughters and four sons, all of whom are living. The daughters are Mrs. R. W. Irwin and Mrs. D. S. Scott of East Wawanosh, Mrs, A. Ketchabaw of Ashfield, Mrs. W. McMurray of Morris and Miss Bessie at home. The sons are—Jas. A. of Carnduff, Sask., Vitra C. of Wawota, Sask., Dr. Thos. of Brazil, Indiana, and Edmund at home. The anniversary was most happily celebrated. Mr. Walsh was presented with a gold -headed cane, and Mrs. Walsh, with a gold watch and chain, These niernentoee were accompanied by the following address, read by their grandson, Ilerson Irwin :— Dear Father and Mother :—We your children have gathered with you in celebrating this the fiftieth annivers- ary of your merriage. Since it has pleased our Heavenly- Father to Spare you these many years and has guided you over the many rough places of life, we pray that Ile may yet maitre you many years, and that we may have the ptivilege of joining with you in the sixtieth ltuniversary of your Wedding day. As it has been your privilege to be Spared for thie oreasion We feel that vse earatot let it pass without showing yon that we feel grateful to you for the interest you have shown in us as father and mother, in the years that have passed, and now we ask you to accept these gifts not for their value, but just at a slight token of appreciation of the many kind acts yon done to tee Your Children, Me. and Mrs. Walsh have been reel - dents of &set WeWattoth for twenty - tome years. The Advance extends congratulations to them on having safely reached and passed the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding day. May tlaey see many more happy years Yet, Auction Sale Of Stock.

Terms—six months' credit, or six per cent. per annum discount for cash, Liberal Donations, The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Wing - ham General Hospital wish to express their very hearty thanks to the pupils of the high and public schools, for the very liberal manner in which they, responded to the appeal for donations of vegetables, fruit, etc.. The response was so liberal, that W. G. Gray was called on to remove the donations from the schools to the hospital. Mr. Gray very generously gave his ser- vices free of charge. Mr, Simon Mit- chell also douated conaent steps to use alighting from carriages in front of of the hospital. These steps were very much needed, and Mr. Mitchell's gift was greatly appreciated. Harvest Home. The annual Harvest Home services in counection with St. Paufs Church, will be held next Sunday. Rev. 0. C. Purton ,of Mitchell will preach at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. The offerings will be in aid of the Missionary society of the Church. The Church of England in Canada has undertaken to raise $150,- 000, and Huron diocese has agreed to raise $17,000. St. Paul's share of this is 5152 26. The Sunday School has already given $.3.85. St. Paul's Church will no doubt measure up fully to expectations. The annual festival will be held in the school room on Monday evening. The ladies of St. Paul's are noted for their excellent edibles at this festival, and we can predict a successful event. Even The Babies. It seems to be characteristic of Wingham people to make their mark wherever they go. Even the babies, do well. At the Saskatoon Fall fair, Mr. and Mrs, Elmer Moore (formerly of Wingham) were delighted to have their baby awarded first prize for the prettiest baby on the grounds. Even grandpa Moore was tickled over his grandchild getting the red ticket,and thinks a good-looking grandfather is not a bad. thing to have. Mr. and Mrs. Bert. Winfield (also from Wing - ham) were among the pleased ones at the same fair, for their little one re- ceived first prize for the fattest, chub- biest little one at the fair. I tell you these westerners know good things when they see them, Wingham is a great place.

After the ceremony, a reception was accorded them at the residence of the groom's sister, where a tasty repast was en- joyed. They left on the next train amid showers of confetti, for Buffalo, Niagara Falls and other American cities. It Does Not Pay. John McLeod was before the Police Magistrate on Monday on information furnished by Constable Phippen to In- spector Clegg. The charge was that John being on the "List" had imbibed too strongly from stuff furnisheil him in a bottle by supposed friends, John may have had a good time while en- joying the booze, but it cost like fury, for the magistrate assessed him $15 and costs. It does not pay; the fun is not worth the money. More blame attaches to those who unkindly secur- ed the drink and thus got John into trouble. Very Sudden Death: On September 28th, death came with great suddenness to Mr. Richard Pettypiece of Kinloss. In the early part of the day, he appeared to be in his customary health; he eat his din- ner as usual, and after resting a while, went out to cut some corn, his son Herbert with whom he lived, being absent at a threshing. Sometime after four o'clock, children crossiug the field on their way from school, found him lying unconscious. They gave the alarm, and he was carried to his home, where in a short time, he passed away. Mr. Pettypiece was of Irish descent, and came to Canada, when a boy about 33. He came to Kinloss in the early days, and cleared two of its farms. He was twice mar- ried and twice bereaved of his partner in life. From the second union, there remain two daughters and one son. The daughters are Mrs, Pinnell and Mrs. Hodgkinson both of Kinlough. The son—Herbert resides on the homestead. Two sisters, Mrs. Howe of Essex and Mrs. Bemen, of near Ot- tawa remain, also three brothers, Geo. in Saskatchewan, James of Manstick, and Mathew in the West. Mr. Petty - piece was a good neighbor, well re- spected and was a member of Tiffin's Methodist Church. The funeral took place on Saturday, service being held in the Methodist Church at Tiffin's, Mr. Pettypiece was in his 81th year. The Parish Club.
