Returns After Forty Six Years A very few of the older residents of Wingham will- remember John 'Comerford who was in the employ of Jas. Barkley, as a tinsmith in Wing - 'ham in the seventies. Mr. Comerford is now living in Detroit, called on his .old chum Mr. Roderus oe. Monday. He left Wingham in 5879. Who Can Beat This? Mrs. John Gamble, Turnberry, has a couple of geese which have been •doing their share to pay for their b,oa.rd and lodgings. In April they hatched x6 healthy young goslings and in June they again hatched out a bat- ch of r8. While the mother goose has her hands full with the new babes the ,old gentleman has the first sixteen out for a cruise on the waters of the .river Maitland. We know where we can get a choice Christmas goose, if they're not all gone before that time. Died In Kincardine Daniel McNaughton, former M. L.

The highway offi- cer, whose duty it is to detect speed- ers and othe? isiiolators of the high- way traffic act, was patrolling the road when a fine Crysler, car came along at a trifle over the 25 mile line. He challenged the driver re- questing his tame and address and was about to- add a word of caution when the driver revealed his identity as Provincial Constable Atkins for Halton. Of course, the traffic officer apologized but Constable Atkins emu- plimented him upon his alertness and ptinctilioes attentiOn to the duties he was sworn to perform.

Orangemen At St. Petrie A large congregation was present at St, Pauls Church on Sunday even- ing, when the Rector, Rev. H. W. Snell preached an eloquent sermon to almost one hundred brethren of L. 0. L. No. 794, taking for his text 1st. Chap. of Joshua, /2th., e3th. and re.th, -verses, pointing out that as the chil- dren of Israel had perfect trust in God in carrying out his commands under Joshua even though it meant much eacrifice to them so it is neces- sary to -day to have that same trust in God in order to carry out elle obliga- tions of the Orange Order, The Misses Nettie and Jean Christie as- sisted the choir and sang a duet very sweetly. A Couple Of Old Papers Mr. George Wraith very kindly brought into our office a copy of the Montreal Weekly Witness and an old copy of the Christian Guardian. The former was labelled to N. McHardy at St. Helens and was dated Match 3rd,, 187x and the latter was dater Fe- bruary 3rd 1869, There is probably nothing quite so interesting to us as to scan through the pages of very old newspapers, The subscription price of the Witness was 2.25 per year, it is a small five column four page paper' with no advertisements, or practically none. The sale of fancy buggies and driving horses in the city of Montreal seems to be a real live btisiness, The Christian Guardian is a four page sev- en column paper and it also praetic. ally without advertising. 404 'ef SubScriptione Se.00 peril/T:1S' Fine Weather Blesses The Orangemen of This Distric The 235th anniversaey of the Battle of the Boyne was celebrated in real old- fashioned style at.
