Former Wingbarnite Retiring The following is clipped from the' Northwest Miller, which is published at Minneapolis and we believe ,it should be of interest to Advance - Times readers, as Mr. John S. Mak-- well is a former Wingham. citizen. Al- though he has not been home for a number of years,: he expects to be here next year for the Old Boys Re- union. Their mill has made ra- pid' progress in the last few years. It now has a capacity of .rr,000 barrels of flour and r0oo barrels of oatmeal per day. They have ere elevators throughout the West. The following is the write tip:' "The resignation is announced of J. S. Maxwell, for 42 years manager of the Western ',Canada Flour Mills Co., t • There Were Speeders In Those Days- . In the Archives of Newport, R. I., there has been discovered a resolution of the assembly bearing the date 1678 which reads, in part as follows: "Whereas, .there has very lately in. the towne of Newport ,on,Rhode Is- land been very great hurte done to a small childe by reason of exceeding fast and hard' ridinge of horses in saide towne, this Assembly, takeing the matter in their serious consider- ation, and being desirious for the fu- ture to prevent' the 1'ike'mischief, doe ordain ` that from and afer the public cation hereof, if any person or per- sons shall presume` to ride on either horse,' mare or gelding, a gallup, or to run speed in the streets of New- port, -said person shall for his effence pay unto the treasurer of said towne, 5 . shillings in money on demand; 2 shillings of which shall be paid to any person or persons that shall give in- formation thereof, and the other, g shillings to remaine for the use of the said town."

Dr. - McDonald,- liberal, and Dr. Chisholm, conservative, have just. finished a lively election campaign the latter being victorious. It is as good as. an entertainment to read what the Times says' about the. Tories . and what the Advance says 'about the Grits.

Bradwin, editor of the Blyth Standard, is spending a few days in Wingham and the surrounding town- ships canvassing for the office of county councillor for, this division.

Mooney paid the "devil" on the prey- ious Saturday; and funds were so low on Monday he could not attend ' the Laurier meeting. A number of Winghamites attended the East Huron nomination meeting at -Brussels on Thursday of last week. The meeting was, rather of a noisy nature, muck more so than previous occasions. Dr. P. MacDonald was nominated by then 'Liberals, with: `" Barrister, R. Vanstone, as .his finan- cial agent, and Dr. T. Chisholm by the Conservatives with ' Barrister, Dudley Holmes, as his financial ag- ent. There was considerable trouble in arranging' the order of the speaking The Conservatives were anxious to have Mr. John George, of Port Elgin, speak after Mr. MacDonald.'"
