White's flour mills, Springwater, won
a wager of $8 by shouldering a bag
containing 150 pounds of flour and
carrying It on foot to Orwell, a dist-
ance of two and a half miles, without
stopping to rest. It was a part of the
agreement. however, that the burden
might be shifted from one shoulder to
the other, and this occurred but once
on the trip. The feat was certainly a
remarkable exhibition of strength and
endurance.

lina are guests of Mrs, H. Davis. Mr.
W cod was once Rector of St, Paul's
Wingham, but is now Rector of St.
Pauls Charleston. Mr. Wood and
family like the south well. The
Southerners are more friendly toward
the English than the Northerners, and
even have the British coat of arms
displayed in the chancel. The names
of the streets, King, Queen, etc, hear
evidence to the days gone by, when
Britain held sway, and that these
have not been changed shows that
kindly feelings toward the old land
still prevail.

A very sad and fatal mistake oc-
curred in Brussels on Tuesday evening
that re5''.lted in the death of Alex.
Hunter, Division Court Clerk. It
seems that he had a bird that he
wished to get stuffed, and purchased
carbolic acid and arsenic to preserve
it. Before retiring, he went to take
some medicine. he was accustomed to
take, and unfortunately took the car-
bolic acid. He said to Ms wife, "I be-

Public Holiday,
A prcolamation has been issued
from the office of the Provincial Sec-
retary, declaring Labor Day (Monday,
Sept. 1st) a public holiday. The Ad-
vance is informed that the business
men of Wingham will duly observe
the holiday, Farmers and others
should make a note of this, do their
shopping on Saturday, and thus avoid
the disappointment of coming to town
on Monday and finding the stores
closed.
A Monster Machine.
The Canada Paper Company (which
has several customers in Wingham)
has placed an order with a firm in
Wilmington, Del., for a machine that
wilt turn out a sheet of newspaper
over fourteen feet in width ; it is to be
set up at the company's works on the
St. Francis River, Quebec, and expect-
ed to be in operation about the end of
the year. It will weigh close on 100
tons, and will require a train of 25
cars in transit. It will turn out 85
tons of finished newspaper per day.

Friction.
The Listowel Standard says :—The
chair factory closed down on Friday
last for a week or two, while stock is
being taken. This step has been con-
sidered advisable owing to friction be-
tween the manager and the board of
directors. The Company has a good
business established, which will not be
affected by the temporary closing
down, as orders are being filled as
nsutti, The Stratford Herald says :—
According to the report, manager Sei-
fert, formerly of Wingham, was told
by the president to quit work, but he
refused to do so. It is said that secre-
Lary C. Smith and finishing room fore-
man J. Seberger also impressed upon
Mr. Seifert that his services were no
longer required. But, so the story
goes, the latter declined to leave, and
when doors were locked crept in by
window. If what is reported he true,
manager Seifert's orders have conflict-
ed at times with those of his oppon-
ents. It is even stated that chews
have been unloaded by one party as
fast as the other could load them.
Seifert's salary is supposed to have
been $1,200 a year, $800 in cash and
$00 in stock. Those are also stock -holders opposed the company.

McLean's Mill.
The mill•yard is now ready for next
winter's supply of logs, last winter's
stock having been cut into lumber. A
large stock of staves, hoops and head-
ing is ready for the manufacture of
apple barrels, and should there be a
brisk demand for them they can soon
be put together. At present the de-
mand is uncertain, as rust, scab and
worm appear to be seriously affecting
the fruit, and much is falling from the
trees, so that the quantity of good,
'marketable apples is likely to be much
less than was expected some time ago.
Farmers should read the article on the
"sale of apples" on page 4.
September Forecasts.
For the benefit of those who like to
watch the weather indications, we
condense the predictions of Rev, Irl
Hicks for September weather : From
the 1st to the 4th falls the culmination
of a regular Vulcan period, intensified
by Mercury, Earth and Mars, with new
moon on the 1st and Moon on the ce-
lestial equator on the 3rd. Warm
weather generally will most likely pre-
vail at the opening of the month. On
and touching the 2ad to 4th no one
should be surprised by energetic
storms of rain, wind and thunder. If
very low barometer and West India
hurricane reach our south coasts at
this time they will either reach interi-
or sections, and travel thence to the
Lakes and St. Lawrence, causing high
temperature and heavy storms of ram,
wiud and thunder over most of the
country, or they will move up the At-
lantic coasts, causing danger in those
regions and bringing high barometer,
northerly winds and quite cool weather
over all northern and central parts of
the country. The chances are that
frosts will occur northward about the
4111 to the 7th. The centre of the Mars
period falls on the llth, and on and
about this date, it most he remember-
ed, our globe reaches a crisis or maxi-
mum of magnetic and electric excita-
tion, as a rule causing many curious
phenomena in earth and air. The
regular storm period central on the
18th will almost certainly bring on a
state of stormy and unsettled weather
that will continue in a general way
into the reactionary storm days cen-
tering about the 17th and 18th. One
of the danger periods for September,
especially in localities exposed to equi-
noctial storms, will be about the 17th,
18th and 10th. Watch all indications
at this time, and do not be surprised
by very cool nights and frost. The
last regular storm period for Septem-
ber is central on the 24th, extending
over the 22nd to 27th. This period is
at the centre of the Earth's autumnal
equinox, with Moon at greatest declin-
ation north, perigee and last charter.
Another series of very decided equi-
noctial storms is both possible and
probable at this time. The month
closes in a reactionary storm distur.
trance, excited by the passage of the
Moon over the equator on the 80th.
On that date and into October 1st, au-
tumnal thunder storms will touch
many localities,
London Fair.
Everything is shaping well for a
most successful Western Fair. Not-
withstanding that the dates, Septem-
ber 12th to 20th, are a week later this
year, entries are fully up to what they
were last year at this time. Recently,
two more special attractions have been
secured. The world -famed Streator
Zouaves, (Seventeen in number) the
champion fancy drill and wall scaling
team, and Tom Eck's motor cycle
whirl, the only act of its kind in the
world. It virtually consists of riding
on the side of a picket fence. The
whirl is a circular track 18e feet across
at the bottom and 21 feet at the top,
within a foot and a half of being per-
pendicular, ninety-seven times around
making one mile. Around this min-
iature track five riders on motors at
the one time race the enormous speed
of 30 miles or more per hour, passing
and repassing each other, and at times
going in opposite directions, requiring
the greatest presence of hind and
nerve, Miss Lottie Brandon, the lady
in the act, holds the record for tate
fastest mile bylady, as well as the hour
record, having made over 33 miles in
the hour. The others are riders of note
including the champion trick rider of
America.

Strange But True.
A Woodstock young lady losther
ring while out canoeing on the river a.
few weeks ago. She found it last
Monday night. She had made daily
trips in search of it since its loss, and
found it hanging on a spear of grass
where the river was low. This may
seem strange, but it is not more so
than what the writer knows to be an
actual fact. While teaching in Arran
township years ago, he owned a cow
that for a racer should have been ta-
ken to the track. One evening the
cow took a wild run through a dense
cedar swamp. He followed her as best
he could through the tangled cedars,
sometimes climbing logs, sometimes
creeping under lowest limbs of thick
cedar growth. On reaching home, he
found that his watch, which he carried
in his vest pocket without a chain, was
gone. He searched for days, with no
success. At last it occurred to him
that if he started the wild cow home-
ward front the woods, she might take
the same course. He dict so, keeping
the racer in view as best he could, and
while crawling under a bending cedar,
saw the watch, which had been lost for
three weeks, lying on the root of the
cedar.

Death of John Currie.
The death of Mr, Currie, the well-
known auctioneer, removes from East
Wawanosh one of its most respected
residents. Deceased was born in the
township, on the very farm where he
died. Abont'eleven weeks ago he was
taken seriously i11, and it was soon ap-
parent that there was little hope for
recovery. On Monday last, after much
suffering, he passed away, aged 45
years, 0 months. Deceased, from his
long residence in the township, was
widely known, and his genial ways
and life of integrity won for him res-
pect and esteem. 111s political associa-
tions were with the Liberal party. Ile
took a very active interest in agricul-
tural affairs, and was president of
Turnberry Society, He was a member
of Wingham Presbyterian church, and
occupied a place on the Board of Man-
agement. He was twice married; by
the first union there were three sons
and three daughters ; by the second,
three children. Isis aged mother, his
widow, children, and n, wide circle of
friends keenly feel the bereavement
that has taken from then one so true
and kind. The funeral took place on
Wednesday, and the large attendance
indicated esteem and respect. Among
the floral tributes was one from the
Directors of the Agriculttrea) Society,
and one from the Board of Managers
for the Presbyterian church. His pas-
tor, Rev. D. Perrie, conducted the fu-
neral services.

NOTES OF TRAVEL.
To THE EDITOR:
Dear Sir,—My recent sad and hur-
ried trip to Chicago gave but little op-
portunity for observation, Leaving
here at 3 p. rn. on Monday. and Lon-
don at 8 p. m., I was all night on the
road ; we made a quick trip. Tho first
surprise was the large number of peo-
ple travelling, and in conversation
with Oonductor Fitzgerald I was in-
formed that the passenger traffic on
the L. H, & B, was very large ; in lac',
Wingham station is becoming quite a
traffic centre, and the G. T, R. will
soon have to improve their station
premises, as they are not. at all in
keeping with the business done.
After going through the subterra-
nean and sub -aqua smoke -hole at Sar-
nia, we cross Michigan, which, in an
agricultural sense, cannot be compared
with Ontario—light, fiat land prevails,
and this season's wet has ruined the
crops in many parts. There are no
fine farm residences, or large bank
barns on the route, such as we have in
Iiuron. But what they lack in soil
and agricultural progress they make
up in business enterprise.
As you approach Chicago, you learn
that the business venture, so vital to
American progress, is the strength of
the people, while with us it is otlr
thrift and perseverance,
Now, if we had the American iaueh
in Wingham; there world be a pickle
factory, a canning factory, jam and
berry pulp factory, etc., etc. Our cli-
mate and soil would produce the raw
material in great abundance.
Why, near Chicago they have a.
sauer-kraut factory that you can smell
for Eve miles, and a fortune is being
made to farmers out of cabbage alone.
Our Wingham flats, that the Maitland
river abundantly fertilizes, would grow
enough onions to supply *factory.
Across the lines everything goes
quicker. An American said to me
that, "in Canada, trains loafed around
the stations twenty minutes to let pas-
sengers eat ; we have no time for
that." Again, I noticed in a business
way that they buy and sell quickly;
no beating round the bush, "rake it,
or get out,' is the rule.
Most of all was I struck in my hur-
ried trip with their manufacturing en-
terprise, and I think it is the duty of
our banking institutions to step out of
their "deposit" rut and encourage
hone enterprise and industries.
Yours truly, A. D.
