1 FROM WINGHAM TO WINNIPEG Two Wingham Residents Passed
BY MOTOR
•To Wingbarn Advance -Times '
Dear Mr, Smith:
As Mr. and Mrs. Maguire, Mr.
. Brandon an myself are on a motor
,
tip through' the Canadian, West, 1
• :thought I would let you know how
'nye are -enjoying the drive.
We left Belgrave, Tuesday morn-
ing, July 6th at 7.30. We drove to
Sarnia arriving.there at 11.15 and got
in line with about eeventy cars ahead
• df us to get on We Ferry for Port
• Heron. After two boat loads got
, away we got on the 'third and when
we got off at Port Huron we decided
e
1-o take. the north trail for Winnipeg.
Ve siarted for Flint and Saginaw,
-/es .)0th very flourishing places, especial-
ly Saginaw, which .had very wide
streets. •We drove over five miles
from when we entered one/side till
' wevleft it at the other. We then took
thetoad for the Straits of Mackinaw,
but after driving.255 mile.s we stopp-
• ed at a very nice place called Stand-
• ish and had a, good night's rest. We
arose early the next Morning, Wed-
nesday and sterted off at six o'clock,
,driving thirty miles before breakfast.
. •After breakfast we continued on our
joinney to the Straits, a distance of
160 miles, and arrived at 3.30, but had
to wait forty five minutes for the
, boat, .getting in fourth place. We
were not- alone in getting on the
,boat, as there were forty cars, ' a
-trailer and a motorcycle on and still
,there was room, but they say they
can place fifty-seven oars on the
....boat. We 'hada lovely sail of an
;hour on the boat and after leaving
Ithe bbat at St. Ignace, we started for
,Manastique, ninety-four miles away.
1We just went seventy mile and pull-
ed in for the night. Next morning
'we :got •up and drove to Exa,naba,
ewhere we stopped for three liburs and
Tallied on some old Belgrave friends,
Mr. andtMrs. Thos. Wilkinson. It
is a great lumber country and such
piles of lumber, I never saw.
• We drove 720 miles in Michigan
)
and found the roads realegood a great
' deal of pavement and all fairly hard
,enrface. One. would wonder where
they got the money to build the roads
for outside the towns and cities I
would say the frontage tax on 'the
eevliele 720 miles would not build ten
im.des of the road, such as they have.
It is the most barren I drive I ever
rto4, Mountains and red clay. They
'lied a very heavy rain on Thursday
and that red clay mud made a sorry
.looking sight of our car. We •then
.came into *Wisconsin,' where there is
.some fair timber, but a lot of poor
land, and roads not very good. We
'were nof long in passing into Minne-
esota, where the ,country looked .1set-
;ter, but very few good farm buildings
:and after the rain the roads were not
• good. When, We got within a couple
• .of miles of Deluth, we hacl our first
,car trouble, had picked up a iiail and
had to change a tire in the stickiest
, antul I ever tramped in, '
' After spending a 'couple of hours
in-Deluth, we drove to a small town
• about 45 miles from Emmerson on
„the 'border, where we stayed over
might as we had driven 320 miles that:
eelay. ' ,We were still no miles ,from
j"Winnipeg, which we drove Sunday
f.
,reaching here at 1 p. m, after a drive
, of 1365 miles. We are spending e
few days here, before going on to
'Brandon and, points West.
With the exceptiori of Thursday be-
ing wet, we had a delightful drive
and are all feeling fine.
Your S respectfully;
j. A. Brandon.

' Suddenly Away Last Week
A' very sudden call came to Alia,
Wesley McEvers on Wednesday .af-
ternoon last, July f4theif Deceased la-
dy' was in her rtsual health and went
Lor a motor drive to Culross with her
daughter on Wednesday afternoon.
While sitting in it chair at the home
of her neice, Mrs. Thomas Donaldson,
she quietly slipped away without any
pain or suffering. 1. She was in her
7ist year and was born in Northum-
berland County, near Coburg. Her
libsband predeceased her -three years
ago last February, She is';'airvived by
one daughter, Miss Jennie and two
adopted daughters, Cluistena Hender-
son of Oshawa, and Narma McEvers'
at homei The funeral was held from
her let/ esidence, Shuter St., Wing -
ham, on Saturday afternoon. to Wing -
ham cemetery. Rev. M. M. Bennett
of the United Church conducted the
services. Among those from a dist-
ance who attended the funeral were:
Mr. Allen of Oshawa, Miss Baptist of
Toronto, as well /as relatives from
Teeswater, Lucknow and Kinlough.
On Saturday, July r7th, there was
laid to rest in the Wingham cemetery,
one of the old time pioneers in the
person of Mr. John L. Little of town,
but for a long time a resident of
Turnberry. He passed away on Thurs-
day, after a very brief illness.
(Deceased was born in Stirling, Scot-
land, 8r 'years ago. ,• His love for the
old land was strong, any reference to
"the land of the hea,ther" always tou-
ched a tender spot in his affections
At the age of 4 years along with his
parents, brothers and sisters, they
sailed for Canada arriving at the town
of • Goderich, after staying there a
short time in the fall of 1869, they
thought of moving to Turnberry, go-
ing by way of Zetland, which at that.
time was a thriving village • while
Wingham hadn't even a place on the
map. On the way their wagon got
stuck in a lonely place in the woods,
while they wcre away getting help
some bears with an inquisitive turn of
mind found it out, and after scatter-
ing things around, old briiin found
cake of , tallow, intended for making
candles (this Was before the days of
elebtric light or even coal oil), he
must have found it a delicious naorsel
for he didnt leave anything to make
light on the subject.
They first settled the gth con,
Turnberry, but finally • took • up a
homestead of 200 acres on the bound-
ary of Culross. Here they lived for
many years, going "through all the
te,rdships of pioneer life in the back -
Woods. ,
Deceased was a member of the
Turnberry council in the early days.
Fri wife predeceased Van sixteen
years ago. A brother and two sisters
are still living, Peter of Chicago, Miss
Bella Of Nebraska, and Mrs. McNae-
ghton of Sask." He leaves a fa.mily of
four to mourn his loss, viz: Mrs. J.
Cueneyvvorth, Toronto, George of
Smith Falls, Bert of Toronto, Miss
Hazel at home. •
• Rev. De. Perrie came from Bruce
Beach to take the funeral services
which was attended by a large num-
ber of people in the community. Am -
Zing those_ from a distance who were
at the funeral were Mr. and Mr. Reid
Torrance and Mrs. Elliott of Porters
Bill, Mrs, Sloan' of Blyth, and Mr.
Peter Walker a London.

Looking Up War Veterans •/
Mr. a. Brooks, Dominion Circula-
tion Manager for the -Grand Army of
United Veterans, is in Wingham in
connection with his work of cleaning
up all just claims of needy veterans.
Mr. Brooks says these are a great
many cases that come to his atten-
tion all over Ontario, which appear to
have thus far been overlooked, and
many are very needy and must get at-
tention. Mr. Brooks is himself a re-
turned man who came beet.: gassed
and blinded on crutches. He had an
income to live on or his would have
been a needy case. 1 -le and a couple
of assistants are staying at the Brun-
swick Hotel for, a few days, •
Several Lodges Overlooked
In ott4fitiprief write-up in the last is-
sue of 'The Advance -Times of the Or-
ange celebration at Clinton, we over-
looked the mention of several of the
very,best lodges, which were present;
and we wish to offer an apology for
the .oversight We made arrange-
ments with it reporter for several oth-
er papers, and he willingly accepted a
fee for 1-4s serivbes. He took up a
position .where all the "walk" had to
pass and how he missed so many is
more than we can understand, For
instance Orange Hill, Lakelet, Ford-
wicl and Gorrie ledges in Howick,
were conipletely overlooked in the re-
port'. Aud just how a young unmar-
ried man could heglect to put the na-
mes of the ladies lodges from Foid-
wich, Beige -ye and, Blyth on list is
beydnd our comprehension.

A Successful Tea •
We clip the following from the Ed-
monton Journal as we knew it will
be of interest to many of our readers.
"Gratifying , indeed wai the result
of a tea given by Miss Edith Peddle,
McQueen Institute Missionary, last
Thursday afternoon and evenieg, itt
the mission home, 9562 103A Menne,
The tea was given with • it view to
securing futids to send a girl to the
camp, and was entirely suc-
cessful. .
'Many visitors showed their inter-
est by calling and the cottage which
has reeently been tedeconted, was
greatly admired. Mrs. W. Yule and
Mrs. A, C. Fartell presided over the
ten table in the afterhoon, and were
essisted by Mrs, A. C., Stewart artd,
Mrs, Kenneth Wilson. Mrs, Jas. Mc-
Arthur :assisted Miss Peddle with the
arrangemerns. In the evening IV/Ise

TO THE LIBERAL CONSERVA-
TIVES OF NORTH HURON
Nine months ago I was your candi-
date in the Federal Election, When
the fight was over everyone knew that
neither party could carry on and the
word was sent out that this battle being
indecisive, had to be fought over a-
gain. We were asked to get ready
and keep ready. This I did confid-
ently expecting that, as it was a mat-
ter of fighting the seine election over
a:gain, I would have no oppositien for
renomination.
Now ,that we have finished the hard
fighting to stem the inroads of the so
called Progressive Army into our own
Party, and, are about to reach out for
victory, it appears there are .several
ready to pluck the fruit from the tree
which we have digged abeut, watered,
nourished and brought to maturity.
If the writer was the right candi-
date to select to engage in an unfin-
ished battle last autumn .surely he
should be permitted to finish the fight
if he showed fair strength. We there-
fore submit for your consideration the
two following proofs.
The vote accorded me in Nineteen
Hundred and Twenty-five was over
"One Thousand One Hundred end
Fifty" more than given me in Nine-
teen Hundred and Twenty -One. That
shows a growing strength which I
have reason to believe is still grow-
ing. Secondly --a friendly comparison
with no ulterior motive—save to show
how my vote stood in each townshiP,
village and town with two ideal can-
didates, who were winners in the On-
tario House. Mr. Joynt's vote exceed-
ed mine as follows: Ashfield, 80; W.
Wawanosh, 102; E. Wawanosh, 14;
vote exceeded Mr. Joynt's as fol-
lows: Wingham, n29; Turnberry, .109;
Morris, 63; Blyth, 48; Wroxeter, 16;
Howick, 78. That is 347 more votes
were given. me in Me. joynt's riding
than were given him. Mr. Wiglet
vote exceeded mine as follows: God-
erich, 59; Colborne, 29; My vote ex-
ceeded Mr. Wigle's as follows: Grey,
98; Brussels', ze. That, is 23 more
votes were given me than to Mr. Wi-
gle. Therefore in the Federal riding
my vote was 370 more, notwithstand-
ing the 'home pulls' of two candidates
against my one.
As many candidates for the Nom-
inatiori are prosecuting a vigorous
canvas, I simply take this opportunity
to refute arguments against my can-
didature. I have no desire to unduly
press myclaim to reap' the fruit of
my past labors, because, it always has
Been, that many are anxious to reap
where they have not sown. I simply
ask that each delegate attend the
Convention as a free woinan, and, a
free man, (not as a slave doing the
bidding of others), and after hearing
the candiates make his or her own
mind up and vote accordingly. If the
decision is.against me there will be
no murmur or complaint from me, I
will cheerfully abide by that decision.
Faithfully yours,
Geo. Spotton,
Preached. in St Andrews
At the Presbyterian church on Sun-
day last, the Rev. McCullough of Kin-
cardine, preached both morning and
evening. The congregations at both
services were • deeply impressed not
only with the message the speaker de-
livered but also by the able manner
with which he dealt with the all im-
portant subjects of his • discourses.
Many who stayed at liBme or took it
holiday regret their being absent.'
