Reeve Tipling as chairman of the street committee reported that the con- tract for street watering had expired. The committee' will however continue to have street watered as long as necessary. The Fire Company recommended that John A. McDonald be appointed to the fire brigade in place of T. D. Holmes, The n',. 'r was left over. Councillor Mitchell, stated that his committee re- commended having the firemen hold a demonstration two or three times before winter. The men bringing the Lyceum Enter- tainments to town during the winter ask- ed for a reduction in the rent of opera house, because of the five entertainments Moved by Fells and Gurney that the rent of the hall for these concerts be the usual price $15.00 per night Councillor Spotton stated that as it was a series of high class entertainment and a rare treat for our town,,he favored a reduction more especially when a concert company like the Sunny South had rented the hall for $15.00. Moved in amendment by Coun. Spotton and Reeve Tipling that the hall be rented to Smith and Kennedy for the five entertainments for $60. -Carried, Mayr Binkley reported that.the water works and Electric Light Committee had found where they could procure a water heater to be used in heating water for the boilers at the plant at a very low price viz $4.50 A heater in the plant would be the means of saving half a ton of coal every twenty-four hours. We wonder why the town has so long been without a heater. The council voted to send Supt. Brooks to Mount Forest to inspect the heater in question and if thought advis- able to buy same. The Western Foundry Co., want to get 100 h p. from the town and Mayor Binkley thought it would be well to purchase another bailer to enable them to carry more power. He stated that the daylight saving had been a hard blow to the electric light finances owing to less light being needed. Councillor Gurney did not favour purchasing a new boiler as he expects hydro along here in a few year. The wiring is now on hand to connect up with the Foundry. Councillor Fells thought it was a shame to see the delapidited condition of the electric plant, the wall is crumbling, the roof just done and the floor is heaving up in several places. Councillor Currie and Mayor Binkley explained that labor could not begot to fix it up and that, anyhow they hadn't tne money to do it. A couple of uncertified accounts were read and will be paid when properly cer- tified to. The Wm. Davies Co. appealed that their sale work i wae assessed too high. Assessor T. J. McLean explained to the council that it was not too hisform: erly had been assessed to low. Last year's assessment was $2,700 and this years' 58,800, Mr. McLean explained that. tile company had made considerable extensions and that the present assessment was not out of the ordinary. Mayor I3ink- ley felt that it was too much of a jump and Councillor Mitchell took the stand that the council would be very weak- kneed not to stand behind their assessor especially when* appeal had not been entered in the proper time. Moved by Mitchell.and Fells that the assessment of the Wm. Davies Co. stand as assessed and no rebate be granted. Moved in amendment by Currie and Spotton that council appoint William Uintoul as valu- ator on salt block owned by Wm. Davies Co. --Amendment carried. Moved by Councillors Gurney and Pat- terson that A. K.

'ME JM3ARI ROLL DAVID GALLAWAY On Monday morning at Wingham General Hospital The Angel of Death took from our midst a patient and loving father, a cheerful and agreeable friend to those that were acquainted with him, in the name of David Gallaway, who during the last few months, while residing with his daughters at Belmore, had not been enjoying the best of health, and a few days previous to his death, went to the hospital, where it was deemed that special treatment might relieve him of his linger- ing illness. When a boy he came with his parents from South Mountain, near Kingston, to Howick, then called the Queen's Bush, and settled on lot No. 4, concession 15, which he owned at the time of his death. He was assisted in improving and making a home by his wife, Elizabeth Miller, who predeceased him almost six years ago, and to whom were born four daugh- ters, Mrs. Fothergill of Moose Jaw, Mrs. H. Johann, Mrs. F, S. Ballagh and Myrtle of Belmore, also his two nephews, Wilbert and Oliver, whom he provided with a home from their youth, Wilbert living on the adjoining lot and Oliver on the farm of the deceased. Interment took place on Wednesday to Wroxeter cemetery, service at the home of his daughter, Mrs. H. Johann, was conducted by the Rev. N. R. Sinclair of Belmore and Rev Stride of Wroxeter. JeseEs Fourne Mr. James Found, a highly reputed citizen of Wingham for the past fifteen years, passed peacefully away on Monday evening at his residence, Victoria St. at the ripe age of 84 years. Deceased has been in failing health for sortie time but has been tenderly cared for by his grand- daughter, Miss Jean Murray. Before coming to Wingham he was in the saw milling business in Whitechurch. His wife predeceased him 18 years ago and he is survived by three sons, Thomas and George of Winnipeg and James of Oshawa. The late Mr. Found was a Presbyterian and in politics a conservative. The funeral will be held to Windmill cemetery on Friday afternoon, October elth. tittante SUNDAY CELEBRATION Over Newa Recived from th., Battle Front ,"1Great excitement in evailed iu town on Sunday afternoon when a message was received announcing the unconditional surrender of Turkey. The iirst messages were somewhat exaggerated and stated that Austria Hungary and Turkey had surrendered and that Germany was will- ing to accept President Wilson's 14 clauses of peace. Bells were nine most of the afternoOn and whistles blown while a few autos forgot • about the saving of gasoline on Sundays and drove recklessly up and down beating old cans and blowing bugles. Excited people ran in the opposite direc- tion to ascertain where the fire was or what was the cause of the pandemonium. It was of course a pleasant piece of in- formation that greeted their ears and many believed it to be the beginning of the ending and we sincerely trust they are right. However, the news was not just as good as it was expected. Germany had only asked for an armistice and the coronered beast was only drawing in its claw arid offering the entente its blood- stained paw. Berlin invited America, which is a belligerent nation, to play the roll of mediator, as if she were outside the Allince therefore seeking to make a diplomatic virtue out of a military necessity. However, the very fact that the Central Powers are so badly whipped that they are anxious for an armistice is good news, but the Allies will not consider any peace proposals from them unless it will mean unconditional surrender. A Chance To Saye Money J W. McKibbon of the Resell Store Informs ps that he has made arrangements with the United Drug Co. manufactures of Rexall Remedies to have another One Cent Sale on the 24th, 25th and 26th of this month, The International Stozk Co. are also going to give you an oppor- tunity to buy a 25 lb pail of Stock, Poultry or Hog Tonic at lc per pail. Welcomed Horne The council and citizens of Wingham welcomed home five of their citizens who have been overseas on military work on Thursday evening, viz.: Nursing Sister Maud Hanna, and returned heroes Bert Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Williams, Dr Geo. Howson who is off on a short furlough to complete his course in dentistry, Harry Brown and Hayden. Rev. Snell and Rev. Perrie gave short ad- dresses of welcome and Mr. R. A. Currie, chairman of,the reception committee led in three rousing cheers for our returned heroes. Died Of Wound§ £4 cable receiyed from England stated that Lieut. Jas. McCallum, M. M., Machine Gen section, was wounded slightly end remaining on duty Sept. 29. Very shortly afterwards another was receivea stating that he was dangerously wounded with gunshot in the face. And still another cable stating that he had died of wounds. Jim was a hardware merchant at Belgrave and a general favorite among young and old, The sad news of his death was learned with deep regret. He won the military medal for bravery on the battlefield some months ago, Subscriptions: $1.50 )51. y4te The Supreme Phonograph Achievement of Recent Years The following is a statement made:by Mr, Harold Jarvis the popular Canadian singer; The tone of the Brunswick was a revelation to me. The unmusical, metallic phonograph qualities to which we have been accustomed so long, seem to be entirely eliminated in the Brunswick phonograph. The vocal records particularly have a sweet full rich- ness of sound with the very vibrancy of life. I was of course, particularly interested in the reproduc- tion of my own records on the Brunswick, and can truth- fully say that I have never heard them played narly lifelike on any other instrument. Particularly in my re- cording of "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," the Brunswick' phonograph brings out the shadings that I nevere:knew were possible in a reproducing instrument. It hardly; seems possible that it could be the same record. Yours very truly, Harold Jarvis, Come in and hear the Brunswick at the sto•-re of J. WALTON WicKIBBON The Home of the Brunswick. Another Medal To Winghamite Winghamites in general will be pleased to hear that Lance -Corp. Fred Temple- man has been awarded with a military medal for distinguished service on the battlefield. He had been twice wounded as well as being for a short time in a mili- tary hospital suffering with bruises. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tempelman, Ed- ward St., may well feel proud of their hero son, who is only 24 years of age. He has served at the battlefront since the beginning of the war. Why We Celebrated "Why did you celebrate?" you ask, there , wasn't any peace, The rifles still are popping, and the big guns didn't cease; Bill hasn't yet cried "Peccavi!" his mou- stache sticks up straight, What was that stunt you folks pulled off, why did you celebrate? Now listen, pal we'll tell you why we went and whopped 'er up, It was because old Kaiser Bill, that puff- ed-up Potsdam pup, Had realized at last that he can't lick the whole creation, And when lie told the Allies that, we had a celebration ! . Me Sisotton'e resignation was brought nee end left over, Mr. Spptton said he felt he was not: shouldering his share of the ‘eork as lie was so much away from town but if the council felt differently he would stay with them rather -than cause an election. He said that although he had decided to seek higher office yet he would always have the workings of Wingham council board for the good of the old town uppermost in his mind. The council decided to go ahead with the celebration OM they had arranged for Wednesday morning in honour of the recent victories for the Allies and the sur- render of l3ulgaria. Councillor Fells was appointed chairman of the celebration committee. Coun. Mitchell said he would like to see either the council or the fuel controller get busy about the coal situation. He, along with several others were without coal, and he cited what several neighbour- ing towns were working to help the situa- tion. Mayor Binkley said he had been assured by a local coal dealer that coat would be. had for all this winter. The King Sends Sympathy Mrs. M.
