them when they meet Hanover here
in the first league game.

this sport, being :bright and spacious,
and with a few games the Wingham
boys will give -a good account of
themselves, The sawdust and loose
earth is a hindrance and., resulted in
the slowing up of t `e game as it was

DR. THOMAS CHISHOLM, A FORMER
LOCAL PRACTITIONER, DIES AT TORONTO
After a brief illness from cardiac two years lacers, obtained his
trouble, complicated with pneutnonia,
Dr. Thomas Chisholm, formerly of
Wingham, died at his residence, 15
Playter Crescent, Toronto, Thursday
night, in his 90th year. He had made
his home in Toronto since retiring
from active practice and membership
in the House of Commons,
.. fel,.,::. ,+,.•l. F. v.
The Late Dr. Thomas Chisholm
The passing of Dr. Chisholm re-
moves a genial, rugged personality
from the public life of Ontario. He
was one of the last of the old-time
physicians ministering to the needs
of pioneer settlers, scattered over a
wide area.
Of Highland Scottish and Irish an-
cestry, he was born at Glenwilliams,
Halton County, April 12, 1842, was
educated in the local schools and for
ten years taught in the public and
high schools of Garafraxa township
and of Fergus. Not satisfied with
that form of activity, he took up the
study of medicine at the University
of Toronto, graduated in 1879, and
M,D.
degree.
He commenced practice at Arthu
Ont,, then went to Grand Valley,
which village he was regarded as t
father, having laid out and started i
development. Later he settled i
the town of 'Wingham, where he wa
in practice for over 30 years, H
also was surgeon for both the of
Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacifi
Railways. For a period hewas a lec
turer on pathology and medical jur
isprudence at the.Western Universit
London.
All his spare time was devoted t
study and; he was an author of n
mean repute. Perhaps his greates
claim to literary fame was his Rhym
ing History of England in which h
condensed more than ten centuries o
history into 100 lines. • Other work
were: 'Dialogues of English History
`Dialogues on Canadian History,' an
'The Hunters' Adventures in the Can
adian Wilderness."
A staunch Presbyterian and a Con
servative, he represented his party in
the House of Commons at Ottawa as
member for East Huron, having been
elected in 1904 and re-elected in 1908,
He did not seek election in the reci-
procity campaign in 1911. It was
largely through his instrumentality
that a national monument was erect-
ed at the capital to Hon. Thomas D'-
Arcy McGee, one of the Fathers of
Confederation, who was shot by a
Fenian in 1868,
Dr. Chisholm married in 1866 Miss
Margaret Gerrie of Aberdeen, Scot-
land, who predeceased him in the fall
of 1930. Surviving are two sons, J.
H. Chisholm, of Simcoe, and John S.
Chisholm of Prince Albert, Sask., and
one daughter, Mrs. W, G. Collison of
Lindsay.
The funeral was held on Saturday
with interment in Riversdale cemet-
ery, Lindsay.

HOLDS DECORATION
Decoration services were observed

acting Chaplain. The services opened
with the singing of the hymn "Oh,
God, our help in ages past," and the
scripture reading, Ps. 90, after which
the members laid a floral tribute on
the graves of over thirty who had
been members of the Orange Order.
A splendid memorial address was de-
livered by Rev, (Bro.) McPherson of
Knox Presbyterian Church, Listowel,
and prayer by Rev. A. E. Mann of
the United Church, Bluevale,
After singing "Work for the night

FIRE DESTROYS
MACHINE SHOP
A large machine house was totally
destroyed by tire on the farm of Gil-
lis Haines, a half mile south of Dun-
gannon, on Wednesday afternoon. A
nuinber of implements, binder, mow-
er, seed drill, disk, harrow, etc„ stor-
ed in the building, were destroyed,
The building was situated some 40
feet from a large 'batik barn, and 1
about the same distance from a large
hog -pen, but both buildings were sav-
ed owing to the fact that the wind
was favorable and blew the sparks
away from all the buildings. A buck-
et brigade dashed water upon the
other buildings which served to pre-
vent their taking fire from the heat,
The loss, attlountittg to about $800,
is covered by insurance, The cause
of the fire is a mystery as no one was
at the barn when the fire started,
