There died on Wednesday last at Marnoch, the infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Leishman. Mr. Richard Leishman, grandfather of the child, has called our attention to the fact that this child was a representative of the fifth generation during his life- time. First was the death of his grandmother, then his mother, his brother, his son, aunj now his grand- child. Me. Leishman by no means wears "an aged" look and appears good for many years yet. It is strange too, that the same undertaker (Mr. Gracey of Wingham) had charge of the funeral in each case. This does not often recur. Married In Seaforth. The following from the Seaforth Expositor has reference to a young lady, formerly a resident of Wing - ham :—"A quiet wedding was cele- brated in St, James' church, Seaforth, on Tuesday of last week, the contract- ing parties being hiss Lizzie G. Ken- nedy, daughter of Mrs. D. Kennedy and sister of the Messrs. Kennedy Bros., and Mr. Philip V. Bnrgard, son of Mr. F. Bnrgard of Egmondville. The ceremony was performed at six o'clock by Rev. Father Corcoran. The bridesmaid was Miss Mary J. King of Wingham, while Mr. J. Bur- gard, perforated the duties of grooms- man. Mr. and Mrs. Bnrgard will make their home in Seaforth, Sugar Beet Crop, The sugar beet growing district sur- rounding Winghatu, comprising 24 shipping points for beets, contains 805 fanners who are growing sugar beets, totalling 708 acres, being one-seventh part of the whole crop grown for the Berlin Sugar Factory. It is to be hoped the sugar beet fields of this district will Deceive thorough cleaning and cultivation so they may compare favorably, when inspected in June by Dr. Shuttlewroth, with the beet fields of other districts, and bring highly profitable returns to our fanners. Rev. D. Rogers, President. On Thursday evening last, Rev. D. Rogers, of Thorndale (formerly of Bluevale) was elected President of the London Conference. There was but one ballot taken, Mr. Rogers obtain- ing an overwhelming majority. He received 130 votes, Rev. Mr, Ford 52, and Rev. A. H. Going, 40, The Presi- dent-elect is a most kindly, genial man, a careful pastor, and will make an admirable administrator. We pre- dict that he will be a popular Presi- dent. Mr. Rogers' friends in Wing - ham, also on Bluevale and Fordwich circuits, will be pleased to hear of his election. The Advance congratulates the President-elect. Garden Party. Wingham Citizens' Baud will hold a garden party on the Town park, next Monday evening. The admission price is very low, (10e) and the mem- bers of the band hope for a large attendance. New instruments and some new uniforms are required, and the receipts will be thus applied. Each ticket will have a coupon, on which there is a number. The holder of a certain number will receive a fine Rocking Chair, on exhibition in the window of Walker Bros. & Button. The Band will furnish a splendid pro - gran of music. Ice cream, etc., will be for sale during the evening. Rally to help the Band, High School Principal, Mr. J. A. Taylor, of Dutton, who has been engaged as Principal of Wingham High School will come to Wingham with the reputation of be- ing one of the most successful High School teachers in the province. In 1905, twenty-seven of his candidates were successful in the Junior Leaving exams., a number not reached by any other High School in Ontario, and only equalled by four Collegiate In- stitutes, Hamilton, Owen Sound, Lon- don and Toronto. At the Senior Leaving exam., twenty-four passed, surpassing not only all other High Schools, but Collegiate Institutes as well. In the past five years, pupils of Dutton Iiigh School have carried oft $283.00 in : 'ciioatt'si'fps. 'This year, of Mr. Taylor's pupils, 87 will write for junior Leaving, 26 for Senior Leaving, 15 for 'honor Matriculation, and one for Scholarship.

Barrett of Wingham:—The sad news that Mrs. Thos. Ballantyne had died, after a few hours' illness, fell like a great pall upon Brussels Tuesday at noon. She had been busy in the garden after breakfast and between 8 or 0 o'clock, and while chatting with her daughter, Miss Millie, was stricken with paraly- sis and lapsing into unconsciousness never rallied, passing away shortly before 12 o'clock noon. Deceased, whose maiden name is Eleanor Arch- er, was born at Douglas, Isle of Man, nearly 00 years ago.o. Alongn with r parents she came to Canada when quite a child and took up residence at London, afterward removing to Mit- chell. Here she was united in mar- riage to Jno. Grewar, who predeceas- ed her by 10 years, lacking a day. The young couple located at Brussels and although in Pennsylvania, U. S., Mitchell and Dundas, still Brussels appeared to have magnetic influence for them and as a consequence they that the "setting out" neither cost spent a goodly portion of their adult Sam any anxiety nor loss of sleep ; it life here.

About two years ago Mrs. Grewar married Thos. Ballantyne, of this place, who was a life-long friend of Mr. Grewar, the two of then coming from the sante locality in Scotland. Mr. and Mrs. Ballantyne were veiy cosily situated and the sudden calling away of his light Hearted 'wife will be keenly felt. Wingham Beats Brussels. A fast, lively game of football was played on the park here on Friday evening between Brussels and Wing - ham. Both teams were in good trim, and the gatno was perhaps the best over played in Wingham. Brussels boys are good players, and encouraged by past victories, they probably felt sure of winning. But Wingham bas a good team, and the contest was in earnest for the supremacy. At half- time the score was 0-0, Play com- menced again and in a few minutes Brussels scored their first and only goal. The ball was faced again and every player got busy and settled down to play the game of his life. Wingham players got very aggressive and the visitors commenced to weak- en, and when time was up the score stood 2-1 in favor of the home tenni. It was a great gime, and is tho first time in many years Haat the Brussels team has been defeated by the Wing - ham team. Our boys certainly had Properties Purchased. r +� Mr. John W.
