Saturday's daily papers contained
the following news regarding one who
some years ago resided in Wingham,
and kept store in the old stone block
on Victoria street, where Mr. Runci-
man now has his :repair shop t—W, S.
flodgins, a well-known life insurance
man, was found dead about nine
o'clock on Friday evening. Deceased
was neatly 00 years of age and was
well known in Toronto. Montreal and
Strafford. At the last named city he
was a school teacher until 1881, when
he gave up the profession to accept the
position of superintendent of agencies
for the Waterloo Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Co. of. Waterloo, About four
years ago he resigned, and for about
12 months represented the Imperial
Life Insurance Co. at Montreal. He
also resigned this position and went to
Toronto. where he was appointed agent
for Ontario of the Provident Savings
Co., with offices in Temple Building.
At the beginning of this year he re-
turned to Berlin, and up to the time of
his death was engaged in an effort to
organize the Beaver Mutual Life As,
surance Company. He leaves a wife
and two children living in Berlin,

Nearly A Fire,
On Monday evening, tbe home of the
editor of this paper was somewhat ex-
cited by the furnace pipes taking fire,
They horned so fiercely, that fire fell
in several rooms, and for a while there
was every indication of a eonflagra••
tion. The brigade turned out prompt,
ly in response to the telephone fire
alarm, but the water was not required.
With the prompt assistance of the
neighbors serious damage was fortun-
ately prevented, We regret that one
of the firemen, D, Dinsley, in his baste
to respond to the alarm, fell and injur-
ed one arm,so that he will not be able
to use it for a few weeks.
1000 Bushels Good Potatoes wanted
at Meir & Co's.
Burglary.
On Wednesday night of last week
the store occupied by aletr & Co. was
entered by some person or persons and
goods to the value of $00 or $70 taken.
The thief seems to Have gained an en-
trance by forcing the outside' cellar
door aside sufficiently to enable him to
lift the cross bar that hold it fast ou
the i
nsule
This being
removed,
an d
the depredator in tbe cellar, entrance
to the store above was an easy matter.
This is the second time Mr. Meir has
suffered 3n this way during his short
residence in town. He has now made
preparations to receive a third visit
from these nocturnal visitors, if they
deem it prudent to attempt it, There
have been several eases of thieving re-
cently, and the perpetrators may run
the risk once too often and get caught.
A Loss To Wingham,
With other citizens, the editor of
this paper has learned with regret of
the iutended removal of Mr. Jas. Oline
and family to Owen Sound. This is
necessitated by a business engagement
entered into by Mr. Cline, and the re-
moval may take place at an early date,
Mr, Cline has been identified with the
business interests of Winghant for
many years, and as manager of the
Union factory was largely instrumen-
tal in making that enterprise a success,
not only for the Oa., but as 0 means of
employment for men of the town. As.
a business man of indisputable integ-
rity and ability Mr. Cline's removal is
a loss to our town. Mr. Cline and his.
,dkJtt tiers; as vocalists, have more than
a local reputation; and Wingham au-
diences have tnvarial ly listened with
pleasure to their renderings. To So-
cieties, other churches than their own,
or any worthy object, they were al-
ways willing to render aid in song,
Wingham social life, and the Presby-
terian church especially, will miss this
estitnable family, and our citizens
without any exception so far as we
know, heartily and, sincerely wish for
them in their new bonne, all the pros.
perity and enjoyment possible. Owen
Sound is a gainer by tbeir removal
there, while Winghein suffers a corres-
ponding loss. Mr. Cline arranged for
the Advance to visit him weekly, so
that he may keep iu touch with the
town in which he and Itis family have
so many friends.

COMMUNICATION.
Tho admission of n communication in these
columns docs not imply that we endorse the
sentiments of the Writer:—Editor Advance,
Editor Wingham. „ ..., .,•..,......,.
Advance,
DEAR Siit,—1 notice In your issue of
the 27t2 nit„ a communication from a
person over the signature "A Lover of
Fair Play." Now, sir, if Fair Play was
only given 98
Cents
on every dollar he
receives, would he call that fair play.
There is as much fair play in having
sixteen ounces to the pound as there is
in one hundred cents on the dollar.
He says every baker weighs two
pounds 3 ounces to each loaf, and the
three ounces are for shrinkage. Now
brother Fair Play, three ounces are
really not enough for shrinkage, with
all the changes of air end difference in
woad, temperature of oven and all the
rest of the disadvantages to contend
with. Now air, it does not matter if
it takes five ounces per loaf for shrink-
age, the loaf must be two pounds
twelve hours after leaving the oven, to
be equal to one hundred cents on the
dollar. Re further states that if I
knew how many disadvantages they
had to contend with my anathemas
toward that class would be milder and
more charitable. He makes use of the
word anathemas, which means curses.
I deny that anything approaching to
that sort of vocabulary was made use
of. I know whereof I speak, as I have
heen weighing bakers' loaves for over
five years, and I have never got one to
weigh more than one pound, fourteen
ounces. I do not wish to stain the
baker with the "brand of Cain' any
more than any other dealer, and .mores
..
over I`do not consider two ounces Ore '
loaf is any nearer honesty than paying
a dollar with 98 cents. Again sir, be
illustrates the case by the butchers'
steak, but the butcher is as much dia.
honest as the baker if he does that kind
of thing. Thanking you very kindly
for space in your valuable paper, and
promising not to trouble you again un-
der any circumstances fn regard to
this matter.
Respectfully yours,
CITIZEN.
