L Jobb has kindly loaned us a copy of The Wingham Advance, dated, Thursday, March 6th, 1879. It is an eight column sheet, four pages, and the columns are about two feet long. The paper was evidently printed on an old Washington hand, or should we say Armstrong Press. It is indeed interesting to look over the paper and note the 'changes which ha-ve taken place since Wingham was a village. Arnong the advertisers we find theMaines of T. A. Mills, gen- era.1 merchant, Geo. McKibbon, dry goods and clothing, Philip leteKibbon, general store; M.
