If You Want It
We Have It.
Two farms listed during the
past week, close to Wingham,
with good buildings and valuable
timber, An opportunity that
shculd not be neglected.
We still have a number of
good Town and Country Proper
ties on our lists.
Property in Wingham sells
better than in any of the sur-
rounding towns. Yet there are
always some bargains to be had
from people who desire to move
away.
It will always pay to see us

steady augmentati rt. Toronto and

GREATEST MA' INE DISASTER.
World's Greatest Vessel Founders on
Maide Voyage.
The greatest in rine disaster in the
history of the wo d occurred last Sun-
day night, when the Titanic, of the
White Star Line, he biggest and finest
of steamships, sh tered herself against
an iceberg on her maiden voyage from
Liverpool to New York, and sank with
1,500 of her pa•sengers and crew in
Tess than four ho rs.
Out of nearly ,200 people that she
carried, only 686 ere saved, and most
of these were women and children.
They were picke up from small boats
by the Cunar er Carpathia, which
found, when she ended her desperate
race against tim , a sea strewn with
the wreckage o q the lost ship and the
bodies of drowned men and women.
The White Star Line offices in New
York, while k:eping up hope to the
last, were free o admit that there had
been "horrible loss of life." The hope
still remains tl at some other vessels
may have pick.d up survivors.
News of the inking of the liner and
the terrible los of life in consequence
carne early Mo day evening, with all
the greater s ock because hope had
been buoyed up all day by reports that
the steamship, :!though badly damaged,
was not in a .inking condition, and
that all her pass ngers had been safely
taken off. The x essages were mostly
unofficial, howe er, and none came
direct from the li er, so that a lurking
fear remained of .ossible bad news to
come.
Shortly after 7 •'clock Monday night
there came flash ng over the wires
from Cape Race, within 400 miles of
which the liner n the treacherous
Newfoundland Ba ks region had struck
the berg which br.ught her to grief,
that at 2.20 o'cloc Monday morning,
three hours and fif y -five minutes after
receiving her dea• .biow, the Titanic
had sunk.
On board the Tit: nit were Chas. M.
Hays, President •f the G. T. R. with
his wife, daughter and son-in-law, as
well as several of er prominent Cana-
dians.

Quiet Hom Wedding.
A quiet home wer.ing took place at

idson. The cerem y was performed
by'the Rev. D. Per - e, in the presence
of only relatives d near friends of

wedding dinner the appy young couple
left on the aft( rnoo train for Toronto
and other points. o Mr, and Mrs.
Davidson will be extended the best
wishes of a large ci le of friends. The
bride was pleasantly] surprised on Mon-
day evening when t employees of W.
