Funeral of Mrs, Bell.
The funeral of Margaret Parr, relict
of the late Alexander Bell, took place
on Friday afternoon last from the resi-
dence of her son, Mr. David Bell, Ed-
ward street, to the Wingham cemetery.
The funeral was largely attended and
the services at house and grave were
conducted by Rev. W. J. Kilpatrick, of
Belgrave in the absence of Rev. J. W.
Hibbert, pasror of the, Wingham Meth-
odist Church. The pall -bearers were
Messrs. S. Bennett, Wm. Fessant, A.
E. Lloyd, A. H. Musgrove, W. F. Van -

Railroad Men Retire.
Mr. Robert Bradley, who has been
with the C. P. R. for the past forty
years and for many years was baggage -
man on the run between here and Tor-
onto, and Mr. Robert Osborne, for
over forty years with the same company,
and for many years was conductor on
the run between here and Toronto, have
both retired on pension. Both were
trusted employees and were well-known
to the travelling public. Mr. Bradely
will reside in Teeswater and Mr. Os-
borne in Toronto.
The C. T. Act Election.
The election in this country under the
p etition for the Canada Temperance
Act is likely to be broughton early this
fall before the weather conditions be-
come severe, which would be appreciat-
ed by the public. It is understood Mr,
Peter W. Scott, of East Wawanosh,
will be returning officer for the county,
and we think his appointment will give
general satisfaction, as he is both cap-
able and reliable, and will be particular
to see that everything is done right.—
Goderich Star. The TIMES can agree
with the Star when it says that Mr.
Scott's appointment will give general
satisfaction.
Wingham Wins From Clinton.
There was a good crowd of spectators
at the park on Wednesday afternoon of
last week to witness the league game
of lacrosse between the Clinton and
Wingham teams. The Wingham boys
are now out do win the district and in a
good game won from Clinton by a score
of 6 to 1. Goderich and Clinton recent-
ly played a tie game and this tie will
have to be broken by a game between
the two teams. If Goderich wins, it
will make the standing of the district a
tie between Goderich, Clinton and
Wingham,
Widow Sues for Damages.
Mrs. Wm. Irwin, whose husband was
recently run down and killed by a C. P.
R. Train while walking along the track
at Montreal, is arranging to move to
Walkerton, and along with her two
children will take up her abode with her
aunt, Mrs. Kormann at the Hartley
House here. A claim for $10,000
damages has been fyled against the
C. P. R. by Mrs. Irwin for the death of
her husband, it being alleged that he
was let aff an excursion train at night
on the supposition that he could catch
another train farther down the track
that would take him more directly to
his home. While proceeding in the
dark he was struck by an incoming
train and was horribly mangled on the,
rails.—Bruce Times. Mrs, Irwin is a
daughter of the late Jaynes Collins, and
was for many years aresident •of Wing -
ham.
Legislative School Grants.
The Legislative grants to rural schools
have just been apportioned by the
Educational Department and orders for
the same will be sent to the sec-
retaries of the boards in a few days.
As explained in a circular sent to
trustees about New Years, the money
apportioned by the Government for
this purpose has -now been fixed, so that,
as schools generally throughout the
province have qualified for higher grants
by paying higher salaries end engaging
teachers with better qualifieattons, it
has become necessary to base the grants
on a higher minimum and even after
that to make a pro lata reduction. In
consequence the grants this year are 28
per cent, Iess than what were antici-
pated. The sums received on salaries
and certificates in East and West Huron
last year were respectively $7272.40
and 48208.70; this year there has been
apportioned $i606.8'G anti 86133.32 res
pectively.or a decreass'of $2740.82.

M. Y. McLean has been connected

fellow pencil pushers. They all pub-
lish good newspapers and we hope they
may have many more years of health,
happiness and prosperity. The editor
of the TIMES does not yet consider him-
self a veteran newspaper man, but
in this Connection we may state th it
we have been for nearly twenty -.•.x
years connected with the TIMES.
FARMER'S PSALM OF LIFE.
Lives of Farmers all remind us,
They must take their little Chance;
And in working get behind thein,
Larger patches on their pants!
But if Borden swells the tariff,
As he seems inclined to do;
Soon the farmers will have nothing
For to sew the patches to!

Tell nie not in blissful story,

Casting ballots Grit and Tory,
Filling up on Jersey cream.

Working hours seventeen,
Bearing on his starboard quarter
Patches vaster than have been.

Wedding at Brussels.
Wedding bells rang merrily at the
home of Councillor and Mrs. McGuire,
William Street, Brussels, at high noon.
on Wednesday, August 6th, when their',
only daughter, Miss Mary Winnifred, '
was united in marriage to J. T. Mason, I,
of Merlin; Ontario. At the appointed
hour the bride entered the parlor lean-
ing on the arm of her father to the
strains of Mendelssobns wedding march,
played by Miss Alice Bell, Londesboro'. I
Music was played softly during the
entire ceremony, which was performed
by Rev. A. J. Mann, B.A. The bride
was becomingly gowned in cream silk
Eoline richly trimmed with cluny lace
and pearls and carried a shower boquet
of cream and pink roses. During the
signing of the register, S. Spencer, of
Milverton, sang a choice solo entitled
"Again." The ceremony was perform-
ed under an arch of myrtle, and the
floral decorations were sweet peas and
roses. An elegant repast was served
after which the health of the bride was
proposed by Rev. Mr. Mann and re-
sponded to appropriately by the groom.
Congratulatory speeches were made by
a number of the guests, wishing the
bride and groom long life and happi-
ness. The presents received by the
bride were handsome and useful. The
wedding party left by automobile for
Strathroy amid showers of confetti and
good wishes. Bride's travelling suit
was of navy blue whip cord with cerise
satin blouse veiled With navy blue ninon,
and hat of tan tagle straw trimmed
with navy blue tulle and Bulgarian
ornaments. Mrs. Mason, the petite
bride, was well and favorably known in
and about Brussels and has the good-
will of everybody in leaving for her
new home where we trust much that is
bright and prosperous will come to her
and her husband.' The abovo from the
Brussels Post refers to the marriage of
a granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rich-
ard Rankin, and a niece of Mrs. A. E.
Simmons, of this town. Mrs. Simmons
attended the wedding at Brussels.
