Guelph, where he learned the woollen
mill business, and was Manager of the
Guelph Mills from 1853-57, when he
purchased same and conducted them
until 1863. The deceased came to what
is now Lower Wingham about 1860
and purchased a water privilege from
the Government and erected a saw -
mil, flour -mill and woollen -mill. These
were burnt in 1875, after which he
formed a'partnership with his brother
Archibald, and rebuilt the mills which
he conducted for a few years, In 1807
Mr. Fisher was appointed Post Master
of Wingham, which office he .filled to
the satisfaction of all until his demise.

E. Wright of Guelph on May 21st.,

, first bride to come

Hanna of Wingham, John of Wing -
ham and Peter S. of Toronto. The

the thought that his was a life well
spent.

An Editor's Remorse.
Editor Sahefter of the Mildmay Ga-

was in Walkerton on Friday inter-

House in connection with the libel
suit which Mr. Brick has entered
against the Gazette for stating that
he had rotten eggs stored in his hotel
ready to pelt at Mildmay football
players on the night of their recent
visit here. The Gazette article appar-
ently won't hold water, and the Mild.
may editor's attempt to label the
Walker House here as a store -house
for rotten eggs is likely to need a
whole lot of explaining and some long-
dielance apologizing before M r. Brick's
wounded feelings can be salved over
and he le brought around to see the
humor in the clumsy joltes that the
Mildmay scribe sae been hurling et
Walkerton talent,- .tDruce Herald &

Playing In Streets Is Dangerous,
In connection with the "safety
first" campaign, much is being said
just now as to the danger of children
playing in the streets. Films are being
shown in the moving -picture theatres,
presenting dangers from fnotor-oars
and other vehicles vividly before the
eyes of the children themselves. No
doubt this is a good work for the con-
servation of human life, but it is a sad
state of affairs that the children have
no better place than the streets in
which to play. Very often the man
with the automobile is only using the
streets as a play -ground -there are as
many autos bound on pleasure as on
business -and If we give the man in
the motor the right-of-way over the
child on roller skates, it is incumbent
upon us to find the latter some place
in which to amuse himself, free from
danger. If new sub -divisions were
laid out on garden city lines, there
would be a space in the centre of
every block where small children
could play near home, and open spaces
would be reserved here and there for
larger children and adults, Much
must be done, however, to remedy ex-
isting conditions, as well as to plan
for adequate recreation facilities in
future. A much greater use oould
be made of school playgrounds after
hours than is now the case, and in
many, cities, where sufficient playing
fields do pot exist, a very considerable
expense is justified in providing such.
A city is a place in which not merely
to work, but to live completely, and
complete living includes wholesome
bodily exercise for every citizen.
