The unfortunate man w a s crushed across the chest and did not utter a sound, His hired man and Brandon's little boy, four years old, were thrown out of the car but escap- ed unhurt. The hired man is a Galic- ian. The deceased had a farm three miles north of the town and the incid- ent occured about half a mile out. Five small children and a widow are left to mourn his lose, and the sym- pathy of the whole neighborhood is extended to them in their grief. Mr. Brandon came west in 1882 from Bel - grave, Huron County', Ontario, and was well known in Brandon, especially in the local lodge of Foresters. He was fifty-one years of age. There was no inquest and the funeral is to take place Saturday afternoon at half -past two. 'Kenton is fifty-five miles north of Brandon. Mr. Brandon was a son of Mr, *John Brandon who lived' for many years on the farm now owned by Mr. Parc y Scandrett at Belgrave. 71st.

A parade of school children from both town and country and the Wingham Silver Band marched from the town hall to the grounds at 1:36 o'clock. The entries were about the same as other years, and the ladies' work and fine arts was very good. The merchants do not take hold and exhibit the way they should, but that is not their fault, the hall is not quite as it might be. A. H. Wilford had an excellent exhibit of lards, eggs, produce, etc., just out- side the hall. The tent in which the Women's Institute Bold ice Dream and served meals was well patronized. The automobile with the power attachment, owned by A. M. Craw- ford, attracted the attention of many. It is a small attachment which fits on the front of the engine and will turn a cream separator, saw wood, churn or do many other jobs as readily as a gasoline engine. Dr. Ford exhibited his five legged bull, in a tent. The horses and cattle shown were of an exceptionally good olase, and the lady driving was beyond criticism. The tug-of-war between East Was wanosh and Turnberry was the most exciting part of the program and resulted in victory for East Wawa - nosh. Turnberry team was composed of Captain, Reeve Mulvey, Wm. Austin, John Weiler, Alex McKinnon, Cloyn Higgins, 'Stewart McNaughton, Nelson Underwood, Arthur Spropshill, Robt. McMichael, Fleming Black, Joe Lovell.

Another miracle is that it had not exploded before as he had picked a hole in it and been using it for a whistle for over a week. It looked so much like a blank cartridge that no one suspected it to be anything else and no doubt it was thrown away as such in the first place. While the bandages whibh the father had applied were being removed, Mrs. Henderson picked uptwo little fingers off the floor. At last reports Everett, who was at once taken to the hospital, is doing as well of can be. expected. //////////, Warning! 0 The Publisher's Adjusting 0 0 Association have no power 0 0 to collect subscriptions owing 0 0 THE ADVANCE, their order 0 0 being cancelled in the month 0 0 of May, and they therefore 0 0 have no copy of our mailing 0 0 sheet since that date.

Briefly Addressed High School The High School had the privilege of a brief visit last Thursday morning from Dr. E. E.

He also called the attention of the pupils to the decided "forward move- ment" now in progress at the Western University. During the last few years the staff of the Medical Department has been greatly strengthened and the laboratories fully supplied with up-to- date apparatus, so that there is now a a splendid opportunity for the beet Medical training in Western Ontario. The ciinicle material available at Vic- toria and Josephine Hospitals leaves little to be desired. The Arts Department is also receiv- ing prominent attention. Three new profeseore were added last year while three others are already on the ground ready to begin work on the opening of lectures next Monday.

WINOtIAM WINS TROPHY The Free Press Trophy Landed by the Baseball Boys, What was expected to have been the final game in the Northern Base ball League for the London Free Press trophy was played in Walkerton on Saturday, between Walkerton a n d Wingham. At the.end of the ninth innings the score was a tie, 6 to 6 Wingham won from Walkerton in the game in Wingham a week ago. The game was an excellent one up to the end of the seventh inning, when the score stood 1 to 0 in favor of the home team. The tie was played off in Walkerton on Tuesday and resulted in victory for Wingham, the score being 4 to 1. The Walkerton nine were bent on winning and even refused the Winghamites a chance to practice before the game, The Citizens' Band met the boys when they returned home about 9.30 and a torch light procession was formed, escorted by about fifteen autos. The procession marched down Main St. and halted in front of the town hall where Mayor Irwin in a neat speech congrat- ulated the boys, concluding with giv. ing them three rousing cheers.
