Graham, D. S O., London, who went overseas as -commander of Lon- don's Own Battalion, to give his lecture on the battle of Amiens. Industry Hall, Blyth, was well filled and the audience listened with keen attention to the best address it has been its privilege to hear on the war.' He appealed to the people not to give up working and giving. "The war is not over," he said, "and every cause in behalf of the soldier, deserves our sympathetic and whole -hearted support. A Last Chance - We learn that the Family .Herald and Weekly, Star of Montreal are shortly . to withdraw their offer of the, War Album which has been given to all who this seas- on subscribed to that paper. The Album is certainly a useful little book to have containing n a vast st amount of useful in- formation. The coloring of the flags of all the Allies is beautiful. The new edi- tion now issued has a complete record of the war, It is said an edition of 25,000 copies were snapped up by the citizens of Montreal in one day. $1.25 pays for a year's subscription to The Family Herald with the Album thrown in free. It's a bargain.

Churchill, passed away on Wednesday last with Spanish influenza. He was just a young man and loved by all who knew him. He has been a C. P. R. agent for some years and his cheerful smile shall be missed by his wife and daughter.- His death took place at McGaw where he has resided for some years a faithful agent.

The Methodist minister of Carlow con- ducted the service at his Noise at McGaw, the remains were brought to Walton by train and from there to Brussels cemetery. The bereaved - wife, parents, brothers and sister have the deepest sympat ,y of the community in their time of sadness, Mr. Fredn a d Miss E. Churchill have arrived home after attending the funeral of their brother. ELI ELLIOTT Mr. Eli Elliott one of the pioneer resi- dents of this section passed away at the home of his son, Mr. Samuel Elliott in Hamilton, on Tuesday evening, Jan 14th, Mr. Elliott was born in Devonshire, England nearly seventy-five years ago and in company with his brother, Mr. James Elliott, came to Canada some forty-seven years ago and settled near +,::Tinton. A, few years rater the two brothers came to Wingham and settledabout a mile north of town and for a number cif years they were extensively -engaged in'uie brick and tile manufacturing. The subject of this sketch was a man of very good qualities: and was most highly esteemed by. a large circle of friends. On the 24th of May, 1915, he was stricken with paralysis and has been an invalid since that time. He was one of the early members of Court Maitland Canadian Order of Foresters' having joined the Order in 1883. Mr. Elliott's wile p l t s w l passed away upwards of six years ago. He is survived by seven sons and three 'daughters, viz; W. If.

Elmer Moore, Ede m(300/1 and Mrs. John Arsbury, Strat. ford. The remains were brought to Wingltttm on Thursday and the funeral took place at noon that day to the Wing• hemi cernntery. The servic' being con-- duei d by Rev. J. F`. moan. n. ANNUAL MPETiN(i Of The Turnberry Agricultural Societe,. Election Of Offieere The attendance at the annual meeting of the Turnberry Agricultural Society was good, The treasurer's report showed that the society t ismaking steady pro;rs seand although they were in 'debt over $1300 three years ago, they are only.$500 behind at present, The Society is worthy of the co -operas tion and support of all farmers and busi- ness men of the district and with their support the fair can be made a great asset to any district. The competitions to have the best dairy products, roots and grain, horses, cattle, etc., certainly have a tendency to make farmers more progressive and to keep only the best in everything, The field crop competition encourages farmers to sow the best of seed and to keep it rightly cared for until harvest time. The more progressive the farming community the more business and the better the claps of business transacted in the neighboring town. The following officers and directors were elected for the year 1919. Hon. Pres --W. J. Currie Hon. Vice.Pres-J. J. Moffatt President -H. T, Perdue 1st Vice -Pres --F, Henry. 2nd Vice-Pres-L.J. Wright , Sec'y-Treas-A. G. Smith. ' Directors -Hugh Gilmore, W. J. Greer, John Gillespie, R, S. Williams, Chas. G, Campbell, Nelson . Under wood, J. A. Brandon, Oliver Camlibell, T. C. King, Lady Directors -The wives of the offi- cers and directors. - Associate Directors -W. R. Cruik- shanks, R. Wilton, W. A. McGill, Frank Thompson, Miller Proctor, R. A. Currie. F. J. Hill, John-Pryfogle, Chas King. Auditors -J. A McLean and Robert Currie. At pres ent it is not fully . decided whether or not aspring fair will be held but we are of the opinion that there will be none. While it has no doubt been a good thing for the farming community yet after two years trial it has not proven successful financialIy. The men with purebred stock wouTdnot get behind it as they should, and therefore if there is no spring fair at Wingham they have no one to blame but themselves. We believe that the race track will be kept in shape all season and that .horses will be practising on it most of the sum- mer. It is also rumored that the Turf Club may re -organize and that fences and a grandstandwillbe erected. Let us all put our shoulder to the wheel and boost for the Fall Fair. make it the best outside of the cities.

COMING The second Lyceum Concert will be the Fairchild Ladies' Quartet which will be heard in the Town Hall, Wingham, on Thursday Eve'g, San. 30th. The program will be widely varied, including both vocal and instrumental selections and the enter- taitment is sure to be themost enjoy- able. The local committee in charge of the Lyceum course feels that it was very for- tunate in securing the Fairchild quartet for it is not an easy matter to secure a ladies quartet which conies so highly re- commended for versatility as does this or- ganization. It is stated by the Redpath Bureau, through which the Fairchilds were secured that few demands are more difficult to fill than that for quartets of Iadies who _in addition to being good vocalists are versa tile upon orchestra instruments.' The members of the Fairchild Ladies' Quartet are both vocalists and instru- mentalits. Their program includes in- • strumentaland vocal quartets, piano, violin, cello, soprano and contralto solos, readings, pianologues, whistling quartets and solos, instrumental duets and trios and vocal duets. The personnel of the company is as follows: -Bessie Fairchild, pianist and so- prano; Dorothy Fairchild, violinist and contralto; Mildred Merness, cellist and soprano; Lela Fairchild, reader, violinist, contralto and pianologist. Besides being splendid artists it is said that the charming personalities of the Ming women win their audiences at once. Seats on sale at the RexaIl Store. Ad- mission 500 and 75c.
