THE MONUMENT SITE
The VanStone Corner I-1as Been
.Secured for $9oo
*The Windham Council has purchas-
ed the W. F. VanStone property on
-which the Cosens & 'I3ooth Insurance
'office is located arid will erect the Wan'
Menmorial ort that corner, The price
price paid for tile ground. is $goo. The
building will be moved as soon as
possible and the base of the monu-
ment will be put down arid the ground
terraced appropriately. Our only re-
gret is that this step was not taken a
couple of months ago so that the mon-
unaent might have been unveiled on
, Thanksgiving Day.
At first glance some may think that
the council paid too, much for this
ground, but the council and several
of the business man have gone into
the matter thoroughly and found they
conic], do no better. The situation is
'the best possible, it can be seen from
' five leading roads and when complet-
ed as the council wished, it will be a
_ beauty spot in the heart of the town.

a blacksmith by trade and 'learned the
business with his brother 'William
1101rnes Wingham but spent his
boyhood days on his father's farm,
the late Benj. Holmes of Turnberry.
Mr. Holines was of a very kind dis-
. "position,. and made many friends
wherever he located. evidence of which
was shown by the ...large number of
.friends who were present at. the
, Methodist Church, Carlyle of which
he was a former member and from
, - whence the funeral was held to the
, Carlyle Cemetery, as well as the
many floral tributes. Mr. Holmes is
-survived by his wife (who was form-
erly Miss Clara Carter who also lived
in Windham for many years previous
to her marriage), two sons and one
•daughter, Messrs. William Holmes,
Commissioner, David of Tu.rnberry
,and Andrew of Bluevale are brothers

STREET POULTRY FAIR
Committee Visit. Arthur With View
to Inaugurating One
Messrs. J. Hirst, R, H. King, W. R.
Hamilton, f. W. Hanna and A. G.
Smith motored to Arthur, on Monday
afternoon. Their mission was to look
into the workings of the Christmas
Street Poultry Fair, which is an an-
nual event in that town, and it has
grown to be the biggest eyent of ifs
kind in Western Ontario, if not in
Canada. We found the business men
of Arthur most courteous and there
are only two knockers among the en-
tire lot of business men, all the others
were loud in their praise of the bene-
fits of the Poultry Sale. A few said
it didn't make any great difference to
their business, but it was a mighty
good thing for the town and for the
farmers and therefore they boosted.
Arthur Poultry Sale will be held this
year on Dec. nth, 12th and 13th and
they are out to make the sale go over
icio,000 pounds. At the last poultry
fair over $5o,000 was paid to the far-
mers for dressed birds. Each merch-
ant gets a buyer to come up from
some of the wholesale houses andthey
go up and down the street buying the
birds competitively as the farmer dri-
ves in.
Our belief is that a Street Sale of
Poultry would be a good thing for
Windham and. vicinity.
Mr. Rafter, a man -who has been to-
tally blind from his youth. is the edi-
tor of the Arthur Enterprise -News,
and to say the least, he is a marvel.
He is one of the most public spirited.
boosters in Arthur, and walks about
the town as though he had no afflic-
tion. His neat little printing office
would put some of the weekly news-
paper offices to shame.
It is probalble that a Poultry Fair,
will be inaugurated in Windham.

CHANGED ELECTION DATE
Municipal Election and Nomination
One Month Earlier
At a special meeting of the council
of Wingharn, held on,Thursday night,
a by-law was passed changing the date
of municipal elections and nomina-
tion. As in several other towns the
nominations will be held on IVIonday
evening, Nov, 2.6th, and the elections
on Monday, December 3rd. The rea-
son fox- the change,is to get nomina-
tion and election away from the holi-
day season. For the past couple of
years the nomination has been held at
noon one day and the nomination
speeches and public meeting a couple
of evenings later, when all the interest
has been lost.
• This year the last Monday in De-
cember falls on New Year's Eve and
many could not attend the nomination
meeting that night.
The political pot is already beginn-
ing to boil, but the whisperings thus
far 're so faint that we will not re-
peat them at present.
Beautifying the Cemetery '
Several ornamental trees and about
fifty shrubs were planted at the cem-
etery last week by the cemetery com-
mittee, ably assisted by Mr. W. A.
Galbraith, town clerk and the services
of Mr. Levi Harding. A further ship-
ment will be planted in the spring.
Choir Make Presentation
On Thursday evening last, Knox.
Presbyterian Choir, Bluevale, held a
social evening, the occassion being
that of presenting Miss Carrie Di-
ment, -Oho is shortly to move to
Windham, with a beautiful Rose Bowl
accompanied . by a suitable address,
expressing the choir's regret at the
lose of one ,o1 its valued. members
and extending well wishes for the
future. .
Died in London .
A former resident of Wingham pas-
sed away at London,' on Sept. 23rd,
in the person. of John Risfh. Deceas-
ed gentleman was a member of Wind-
ham Lodge A. I-1'• & A. M. and re-
sided here several years while he was
conductor on the London, Huron. and
Bruce. He is survived by his widow,
four sons and three daughters, who
have the sympathy of many of the
old friends here.
Do You Remember.
Ma.y be you do and may be you
don't remember when whiskey was
40c per gallon, tobacco 5oe per lb.,
tea timothy seed $s per bushel, x
doz. candles roc, pair boots $2. These
are only a few, but they are a remind-
et- of the times around 1870, and be-
fore that.

Dazzling Auto Headlights
Driving into the dazzling lights of
an oncoming car is dangerous busi-
ness—dangerous alike -to the dazzler
and the dazzled, And it is so unnec-
essary. To dim the lights of a car
is so simple, and easy a task, that it
seems that the danger involved by
not doing so would' compel the mo-
torist approaching another car • at
night to take this simple precaution
against the possibility of accident to
his own 'car as well as the cars of' oth-
ers. It should not take a law to
bring about the dimming of head-
lights. Conn/ion deceucys,,demands
that a motorist practice this simple
yule of night driving etiquette, for it
is etiquette, and good manners are
just as essential on the road as in the
ballroom.
