Temple and Robert Patterson. Reeve E. hillier was also there and Ex- Mayor (leo. Spotton..of Winghatr, The chair was occupied by Mayor Mitchell who in a few well choses words welcomed those present, The object of the gathering was to get to- gether the past mayors and the citi- zene generally. They had a program which they felt they would all thor- oughly enjoy, He called upon Mr. Joseph Barker for a recitation. When it is remembered that Mr. Barker is 90 7 ear of ae his recitingin T of John Critch- ley Prince's famous poem "My Relig- on,' was a marvellous feat of memory, and his voice end enunetation was clear and strong. Messrs. Andrew Malcolm and John Tolmie delighted the audience with their old time duett and in responee to an encore Mr. Malcolm told a splendid Scotch Story in dialect while Mr. Tol- mie Bang a Gaelic 'song. Mr. R. Patterson thirty-five years ago was some violin player. Again he essays to be an Ole Bull and from the manner in which his effort• was receiv- ed there is no doubt he moved the au- dience to tears as he played for Mtn Frank Sellery's tin dancing man. It was a great stunt for these twa and they were presented with a bouquet of flowers. Mr. Frank Sellery rendered his fam- ous woman's rights speech which brought down the house. His cos- tume was a marvel all he lacked was e. peg top ekiri. A selendid quartette was rendered by Mies Malcolm, Mrs. John Bell, and Messrs. Scott and Fraser. Mr. J. A, Young sang "The Pirate Chief," in splendid voice. Mr. E. Miller rendered two of his patriotic songs in his usual good style. Miss Malcolm and Mrs. pelt render. ed a very sweet duett, Several fine selections were rendered on Mr. W. Hunter's victrola. Short addresses were delivered by Ex -Mayors J .0. Cooke, W. J Henry and W. G. Temple. The speaker of the evening was Ex - Mayor George Spotton, Wingham. His address was full of humor, but throughout it all the point he kept in view was loyalty to your town. He dwelt on the fact that every town had a few knockers. He would advise these if they did not like the town to move to some place they did like. To build up a town it was necessary for all to pull together. There should be no jealousy on the part of neighbour- ing towns. In this section their come biped efforts were necessary and by so doing they would benefit oneanoth- er, Mr. Spotton', speech was greatly enjoyed and appreciated and his fund of humorous stories kept the audience baPPy. Fordyce. A few from around our burg spent an enjoyable evening at Mr. Samuel Phillip's one evening last week. Mr. Wellington Nixon spent an en- joyable evening in Kinloss lately. Wellington usually makes some of those tripe. Mr, Archie Aitcheeon and Mr. 3, Tur- ner took a business trip to Wingham one day last week. A few around this locality attended the box yodel held at Whitechurch one evening last week, and report halt- ing a good time. Samuel Deacon held a successful wood bee last week. A Ane lot of wood War nut aand an enjoyable evening war Reeve Hunter in few well chosen re- mark. thanked those present for their presence. The object in view was to secure a united effort upon the part of Oil to forward the interests of the town. There should he four objects kept in view by all. These were, an- other railroad, more factories, hydro eletcric power and the building up of a commercial harbor with the big boats again calling at Kincardine. They were objects worthy of their beet ef- forts, and, with a united front they could be attained Miss Nellie E. Rinker, Mies L. hillier and Miss Arnold accompanied the var- ious singers, Mr. Jos, Barker moved a hearty vote of thanks to the mayor and reeve for paving carried out the splendid idea of citizen's night and the entertain- ment provided. This was seconded by Mr. And,ew lisle -olio, who put the motion to the audience and it was carried with a hearty clap of the hand.. Mayor Mitchell In responding thank- ed those who had assisted to ably in the programme, and also Mr. Spot: ton for his capital addrese. He refer- red with regret to the absence of Mr. James A. Macpherson, also an ex• mayor, and who is at present confined to his home on account of illness. Mr. Macpherson sent his regrets. A splendid lunch was expeditiously served by Walpole, the caterer. The first "Citizen'. Night" came to a close with the national anthem, the people apparently having enjoyed the entire evening.—(Kincardine Report - CITIZEN'S NiGHT Mayor Mitchell and Reeve Hunt- er Entertain the Electors Splendid Program. On Monday evening is novel method of spending a most enjoy- able evening was inaugurated by Mayor Wm. Mitchell and Reeve Win Bunter when they issued an invitat- ion to every elector to be present at what they termed "Citizen's Night" in the town hall. Between three and four hundred oiti. tete accepted the invitation and the affair *ae pronounced a decided race cess by those present, On the platform Were Ex -Mayors Joseph Harker, Andre* Maloolnr, Bluevale Literary Society. A most profitable and enjoyable meet- ing of the Bluevale Literary Society was helot on Wednesday evening of last week, The feature of the evening was adebate, resolved "That Napoleon was a greater general than Welling- ton." The Affirmative was upheld by Principal Posliff of Wingham and Mr. John King of Bluevale and the Negas tive by Mr, Wttic Mines of Turnberry and Mr. Stanley Elliott, a teacher in Turnberry, The debate was opened by Mr. Posliff, who stated that the three qualities of a general were, ambition, courage and etratagem, and in all these Napoleop excelled. Na- poleon was a Democrat, while Wel- lington was an Arietocrat, and that at Waterloo Wellington was in the de- fensive, while Napoleon had to make the attack. Another qualification of a great general was seen in Napoleon inasmuch as he was greatly loved by his soldiers and when it came to a battle, he said to his men "Come,' while Wellington said "Go." The next speaker was Mr. Mines, who gave% very. able exposition of the qualifications of Wellington. He quoted Lord Roberta as stating that Wellington was the greatest general that Europe had ever had. Queen Victoria had said that he was the pride and joy of the nation and for his great generalship was recognized by the British House of Commons and honored as few men had been honored by them, and at his death his body was buried in Westminster, where only the great repose. On the. other band Napoleon sacrificed his men as at Moscow, At the battle of Water- loo, Wellington had 38 per cent•. British and 62 per cent. foreigners, while Napoleon had all French, yet Wellington owing to his genius as a general won the day. Sir Charles Napier had looked to the Duke of Wellington as a model of military genius. Napoleon, he said was an egotist, having said that his presence on the battlefield was as good as forty thousand men. The Duke of Welling- ton was a humane man while Na- poleon was a tyrant. The next speaker for the Affirmative was Mr. John King of Bluevale, who made a very fluent address and show- ed that he was master of his subject, and a good student of history. In refuting pointe made by the previous speakers, he went fully into the Pen- insular War, showing that Welling- ton had oft been defeated. A great general was one who could command discipline without severity, but a weak general such as Wellington could only have discipline with severity. He also minutely described er. The above is taken from the Kincar- dine Reporter, and it might be a good thing for Wingham to do something similiar. Kincardine had an excellent Dollar Day and was the source of in. spiration for that held in Wingham. We can again possibly take a leaf out of their book to our own benefit. It might not take the same form but a night to honor the old citizens of the town known as Citizens' Night, might be helpful. ,.•,aMawa Salem. Mr, and Mrs. Roy McKersie were given a pleasant surprise, on Wedneu- day evening last, when their friends and neighbors gathered at their home, Glenfarrow Farm, and presented thew with a chair and the following address, which was read by the President of the Epworth League. To Mr. and Mre. Roy McEereie :-- We, the members and friends of Sal- em Epworth League have met to spend a social hour with you, seeing that you have left the state of single bleasedneer, and have entered into the united state we wish you every happiness and se a token of our esteem towards you, we ask you to accept this chair as'a mem- ory of our former associations and trust that you may be spared many yearn to take an active part in the League and other institutions of the church. Signed --C. Whore, J. Halliday, 0. Wren and W. Q. Westlake. Mr. Me. Revile then made a notable i eply and a very enjoyable evening War spent In to the battle of Waterloo and showed the circuwstauces seemed to be against Napoleon, but with all he showed good generalship, in fact he said Napoleon bad never beep equaled as a Military genius,, Be then de- scribed Napoleon taking his army across the Alps. Napoleon was a great warrior and they were contrast- ing the two mere as generals. Mr. Elliott theft followed and shows ed considerable ability in refuting the various points made, by previous s sake e a of on had never .led a r. e N P P regiment. When he went to Paris there was chaos and when he left there was more chaos, Napoleon was called the "night mare of Europe" while Wellington was called the "Iron Duke." The conditions in the battle of Waterloo, he veld were asgood for one as the other, that the rain had fal- len on both alike. In refuting the point that Napoleon always went into the thickest of the fight with his men, he instanced the battle of Ratisbon, where he stood on a mound a mile or 80 away. Wellington loved hie men, while Napoleon sacrificed his omen, by the tens of thousands, if it would only advance himself. Napoleon taught a bad creed, i, e„ the worship of war. His generals were very jealous of him. Mr. Posliff had only three minutes in which to replyand refuted a number of points. The judges then• retired and in the cou. se of a few minutes re- turned with a verdict in favor of the negative, i. e., that Messrs Mines and Elliott proved that Wellington was the greater general. Other enjoyable numbers were an instrumental by Mr. Wm. Spiers, a duett by 'Miss Aitche- son and Mr. Swanson, a quartette composed. of Mesere. Stewart, Haney King and Higgins, The Rev. Mr. Tait gave a reading, "Tennyson'e ode to the Duke of Wellington." Eight young men gave a number of selections on mouth organs, which were greatly en- joyed by the audience. A vote of thanks was tendered the debating visi- tore, which was moved by Messrs. Mc- Ewen and Tait. The Bluevale Liter- ary Society .has held a reputation for being a real, live organization, which is very helpfulto the community, and this evening was fully up to the re- putation which they have gained. Now "the bright morning star, day's harbinger, Comes dancing from the east, and leads with 'her ' The flowery May, Who from her green lap throws The yellow cowslip, and the pale prim- rose. - Tis a kind of good deed to say well ; And yet words 'are not deeds.--Shaks.
