CITIZENS' BAND CONCERT. A very euccess.'ul band co.lcert was held in the Town hall on Tuesday eve- ning, when a large audience assembled, the hall being packed. A good pro- grama had been prepared and every- thing passed of tinely. The band play- ed their various pieces with good taste and precision and evidenced the careful training they are receiving from the popular bandmaster Mr. Fred Hinkley, who is justifying his selection as leader more and more as time passes. His solo, Sullivan's "Lost Chord" was a fine piece of cornet playing, the full sweet tone produced being very effective. He also played an encore piece. Mr. T .Dunn, basso, was in good voice and sang four songs. Miss Pinkie Smith and Mr. Willis also pleased the audience with their selections and hid to respond with encores. Mr. H. J. Jobb took well with his humorous reci- tations. Miss Griffin was an efficient accompanist. We trust the band will show the same steady improvement at their next concert. i f Christie's Grocery PHONE 59. Store c pens 7 A.M. Closes 7 P.M. (Except Saturday.) NOW For New Fruits!

McLaren of Toronto, gave an interesting lecture on Mission Work in Honan, China, illus- trated by nearly one hundred lantern slides. After showing its geographical situation and telling of its industries, population and so forth the lecturer ex- plained the difficulties which were met with by missionaries on account of the poverty and ignorance of the people. He showed the conditions under which the people of this large province live, the urgent need of help, both material and spiritual, and pointed out the great field for young men and women trained in any business whatever, who were willing to go and work in the mission field, and so help along the great work of evangelizing the world to the Christ- ian faith. He told of the political up- heaval which was taking place in that vast republic and how the 'republicans were seeking instead of rejecting the light of the gospel and •"ere welcoming the medical missionary with open arms. Some of the views showed the classes of young Chinese who were being train- ed as native teachers and preachers; others showed the opium plant, with opium smokers. One view showed a beggar with a baby girl he had bought for one cent and a half, a child sold by parents too poor to raise her—condemn- ed at this early age to a life of poverty and degradation of the worst kind. The means of transit in China were pictured, the vehicles in some parts being clumsy, springless, two -wheeled carts on which one missionary had tra- velled hundreds of miles. The lecturer also told of some interesting happenings in the lives of Chinese converts, especi- ally of two blind men, one rich and the other poor, who were devoting their lives to the spread of the Gospel among their fellow -men. At the beginning and close of the lecture missionary hymns were sung by the audience and Mr. Perrie, who presided thanked the lecturer for his excellent address. Married at the Rectory. A quiet wedding took place at the Rectory on Thursday evening last when Miss Adeline Dunkin, daughter of Mr. David Dunkin, of Glenannan, was un- ited in marriage with Mr. Fred Johnson of this town. The ceremony was per- formed by Rev. E. H. Croly, 13. A. The TIMES joins in extending congratu- lations. The Citizens' Band serenaded Mr. and Mrs. Johnson on Friday even- ing and were entertained by the newly wedded couple. Mr. Johnson has for a number of years been President of the Citizens' Band. Died in New Ontario. Word was received here on Monday morning of the death at Sleemans, New Ontario, of Mr. John G. Arm- strong. The deceased had been in poor health for some time. He was a son of the late Richard Armstrong, of Wing - ham, andspent his early life on the 10th of Turnberry. He was married to a daughter of the late Isaac Wright, of T'Irnberry, who, with a family of child- ren, survives. The deceased's brother- in-law, Mr. Geo, Wright, of Turnberry, eft on Monday afternoon for Sleemans to attend; the funeral. DISASTER ON THE LAKES. The storm on the great lakes on Sun- day, November 9th was the worst in a great many years. Up to Tuesday the number said to have lost their lives is 254, and 18 ships worth $2,955,000 have been lost. This is an awful toll of death. A large number of bodies have washed ashore at Goderich, Kincardine and other points along the lakes. The London Advertiser in referring editor- ially to this awlful disaster says:— "There is something in the lake storm horror almost greater than in disasters such as happened to the Titanic. Not only is this bitter event so much nearer home, not only are many Ontario homes desolated, but human wit and invention seem helpless to contrive a way of, averting such things. More lifeboats, more wireless, was the cry after the loss of the Titanic. But where fix the blame for the waste of splendid man- hood in last Sunday's storm? The vessels cast away were of the most modern type. Their lifeboats were useless in such a sea, or if they could be launched without being dashed to pieces, there was small chance of their occupants surviving in the dark- ness and cold and awful welter. The storm song would soon be their re- quiem." A Business Change. Mr. A. M. Crawford, who has for some years been engaged in the cigar, tobacco and billiard business in Wing - ham, has this week transferred the business to Mr. John Sims, of St. Marys. Mr. Crawford's time has been so much taken up with his automobile business that he has not been able to give proper attention to his wholesale and retail tobacco and billiard business. Mr. Sims is well known to many of our readers as he has for a number of years represented the McCormick Biscuit Co. of London, in this district. He comes to Wingham very highly recommended and will make a good citizen. Died Suddenly in Toronto. Many old friends in Winghan: will hear with deep regret of the sudden death in Toronto last Thursday even- ing of Ethel Annie Day, wife of Mr. J. Arthur McCulloch, in her 33rd. The deet ased lady was a highly esteemed resident d Wingham for some years, her husband being foreman in the moulding shop of •the Western Foundry Co.. .. • Successful Hospital Bazaar. The Ladies' Auxiliary to the Wing - ham General Hospital held a very suc- cessful sale of home-made baking and candy in the store next to Awde's flour and feed store on Saturday afternoon last. The donations from the people of Wingham and district were very liberal and everything was sold. Some $40 was realized which will be used by the Auxiliary in purchasing furnishings for the Hospital. The members of the Auxiliary wish to heartily thank all parties who made donations and also thosewho so liberally patronized their sale. Another sale will be held about the 5th of December and the ladies will be pleased to receive further donations of cooking and candy and those who were unable to contribute for last Saturday will have an opportunity of doing eu at the coning sale.

WILLIS & CO Deaths Decrease, Interesting facts regarding the re- sults of a decade's warfare against the ravages of Consumption are contained in a circular which has just been issued by the National Sanitarium Association in order that clergymen taking part in Tuberbulosis Sunday, on Nov. 30th, may be possessed of the latest statis- tics. The most striking result of the analysis of vital records for the Pro- vince of Ontario is that, compared with eleven years ago, and despite the large increase in the population during that time, there is a total decrease of 990 in the annual number of deaths. In 1911 there were 3243 victims of consumption; in the death statistics last year the total was 2250. This is the more re- markable, too, in view of the large in- crease in the population of urban centres, where the overcrowding con- tributes largely to the spread of the disease. In its history of fifteen years work the National Sanitarium Associa- tion has had under treatment 7000 patients, many of whom were in ad- vanced and hopeless stages, Of these over 4000 have been sent back to their homes either cured or in much improv- ed health. • All:iftt IED • LYNN WILtIT.," - In Ildwiek, ot1'Nov. 5th, by the 'Rev.

Stan • of Exeter, who defended Mr. Hami..on, and who has conducted both appeals on his behalf at Toronto, took the ground that the alleged offence took place on the boundary road between Huron and Perth and was therefore not within the jurisdicton of the County of Huron. He' ;appealed from the Magistrate's conviction of $25 and costs to Justice Kelly of Toronto in September aa.l re- ceived a judgment quashing the con- viction.

He spoke of the bravery of the Hien who went down to the sea in ships —Iarge of heart land strong of hand—and pointed to dis- asters in other parts of the world which sometimes made people ask the ques- tion of the text. It was all in the di- vine scheme, and many lessons could be deduced therefrom—the main thing being that we should, to use a Scotch phrase, be "Ready, aye ready!"
