Family Reunion.
The Huron Old Boys' excursion fur-
nished the opportunity for the annual
reunion of the family of Mr. and Mrs.
Michael Walker of town. Among
those from Toronto were Mr, and Mrs.
R. A. Walker, Miss Zelma Walker,
Mrs. J. E. Anderson, Messrs. Hardy
and Wendall Anderson, Misses Lena,
Stella and Ella May Anderson, and a
number of younger members of the
families represented. On Sunday last,
they met at the old home in East Wa-
wanosh, when forty-three members of
the family were present.
A July Wedding.
A gay and festive gathering made
cheerful the hone of Mr. Arbuckle,
East Wawanosh this (Wednesday)
afternoon, when his daughter, Miss
Mae, became the bride of J. J. Fry-
fogle, Implement agent, Wingham.
The nuptial knot was tied at 5 p.m. by
Rev. D. Perrie, in the presence of a
large number of guests. The bride
was dressed in cream silk eolienne.
In the evening a reception was held
at which a large number of young
people were present and enjoyed
themselves. The bride and groom
were unattended during the ceremony
and will at once commence housekeep-
ing in the residence recently par-„
chased from Conn. Hanna, on Minnie
street. May the future have much of
joy and little sorrow in store for
them.

Praise For Our Band.
The Teeswater News has this to say
about the service of our Band on July
1st ;—"Wingham Citizens' Band ar-
rived about 10 o'clock and immediate-
ly began to display that spirit of
obliging liberality that has won for
them an enviable reputation where -
ever they have filled engagements, by
pouring out in unstinted measure
their strains of delightful music. This
band cannot be too highly praised.
The day throughout was enlivened by
their services, and it is safe to say
that it will always receive from Tees -
water crowd a hearty welcome."
Our harness gives the best of satis-
faction ; we guarantee gond material
and good work.—S. Marshall, Meyer
Block.
Wingham High School.
The foundation work for the new
High School is well built, and very
substantial, and will no doubt hear
the superstructure to be reared there-
on. By the end of last week, about
twenty thousand bricks had been
built into place inside the foundation.
Bennett & Nicholson will turn over to
the Board, a good building,when her it is
all completed. With what has been
pronounced (by experts judging from
the plans) the most up-to-date High
School building in the province, and
an excellent staff of teachers, Wing -
ham High School should not be long
getting, near the head of the proces-
sion.
July The Fourth.
The anniversary of Independence
day 'with the Americans is past once
more, with much the same results as
in past years, so far as accidents and
loss of life is concerned. This year
reports show that thirty-eight persons
were killed and 2,780 injured by cele-
brations in different places, neatly all
by cannon, fireworks, firearms and
explosives of various kinds. Last
year 42 persons were killed outright,
but when lockjaw and other diseases
induced by injuries completed their
work, over 400 lives had been sacri-
ficed. When it costs so many lives
yearly, the question arises—Is it worth
the cost?

The Western Harvest.
All conditions in the Northwest are
favorable, and an early and bountiful
harvest is promised. According to
present indications from all parts of
Manitoba, the harvest this year will
be ten days earlier than ordinarily.
If the weather continues favorable
they will be in the midst of harvesting
by the. middle of August. The Pro-
vincial Immigration Commissioner es-
timates that it will take 25,000 men to
garner the harvest. Last year there
were 17,000 men from Ontario and the
\Vest, and he thinks that the acreage
and yield are sufficiently increased to
require 8,000 more hands. Men to the
number of 15,072 were distributed over
the Canadian Pacific last year, and
1,266 over the Canadian Northern,
while about 1,000 were required in the
Winnipeg district.
Civic Holiday.
Wingham's Civic holiday has been
definitely fixed for Friday, July 27th.
The event of the day will be the
annual union excursion of the Sunday
Schools of town, Kincardine has
again been chosen as the point of ren-
dezvous, ;and with fine weather an en-
joyable day is ensured. Two special
trains have been secured, one running
from Mitchell, calling at intervening
stations; the other will start from
Wingham, and will leave soon after
nine o'clock, Both trains are due in
Kincardine soon after 10 o'clock, and
returning will leave the lake -side at 7
p. n, Wingharn's fine Band will ae-
company the excursion. Baggage cars
will be attached to the trains to con-
voy the provisions. See posters and
hand -bills for full particulars. The
fare from Wingham is the sante as
last year, '70 ets, for adults ; 85 ets. for

WINGIIAM,
Huron Old Boys,
The Iluron Old Boys' excursion
brought many visitors to the county
from Toronto, Saturday. They were
not all old boys ; there were girls
among them, and it would never do to
call the girls "old." A football match
arranged between the Albions of Park -
dale and Wingham tears, was played
on the park on Saturday evening.
The latter could not put their regular
team on the field, and the visitors won
by a score of 3-4 Two former Wing-
hamites played with the visitors, Fred.
Rush and Rus. Wheeler,
Accident At Raising.
Au accident occurred at John
Abram's barn raising, near Beltran*,
on Friday last. A. Turnberry young
man, Percy Coupland, was up on the
frame, and had occasion to elinrb be-
tween a post and a brace, The brace
gave way, and Percy fell to the
ground, alighting on a pile of lumber.
One of his
r. awns was broken in two
places and he received injuries about
his head. It is hoped that the in-
juries will not prove serious. As hay-
ing has begun and harvest is ap-
proaching, it is an inconvenient time
to be laid aside from work on the
farm.
The Glorious 12th.
On account of the difficulty of secur-
ing proper train accommodation for
July the Twelfth, Wingham L. 0. L.
was undecided where to celebrate the
anniversary of the Battle of the
Boyne. An emergency meeting was
held on Tnesday evening to make ar-
rangement, and it was finally decided
to go to Gorrie and join with the
Howick brethren in their celebration,
accepting the best train arrangement
possible. It was also decided to secure
the services of the Citizens' Band for
that day. A special train will be run
to Seaforth, leaving Wingham at 9.55
a. rn., and returning leave Seaforth at
6 p.m.; return fare, $1.00.

Par
Garden Party.
y.
The members of the lacrosse team
were disappointed at the small atten-
dance at their garden party last Fri-
day evening, the receipts being barely
enough to cover expenses. The boys
were discouraged from soliciting sub-
scriptions when the season opened,
and their gate receipts have been
small, hence it is not much wonder if
they feel sore, as the season ends, to
find them "facing the music" of going
deep into their pockets to pay ex-
penses. On Friday evening, the Band
gave excellent music, and they evening
was fine, but the attendance small.
Mrs. Chas. Rintoul was the holder of
the ticket that .secured the centre
table. Don't forget the boys next
Wednesday at the Seaforth vs. Wing -
ham game.
Pretty Wedding.
A pretty and fashionable wedding
was an event of interest in Holy
Trinity Church, Winnipeg, on June
27th. The contracting parties were—
Mr. G. A. Woodruff of Nesbitt, Man.,
and Miss Lottie, daughter of the late
Daniel McCurdy, and sister of Mrs.
Gen. Tervit of Kincardine and Mrs.
Andrew Ferguson near Wingham.
The ceremony was performed by Ven.
Archdeacon Fortin, assisted by Rev.
J. Wolfe, of Wawanesa. The bride
was handsomely gowned in cream du-
chess satin over cream taffeta, with
embroidered chiffon and silk lace.
The groom's present to the bride was
a diamond and emerald ring, and to
the bridesmaid (Miss Florence Wood-
ruff, sister of the groom) a gold brace-
let set in opals. The happy couple
left on a tour to the coast. On return-
ing they will reside in Nesbitt, Man.,
where they enjoy the esteem of a
large circle of friends.
Dn. Ova s, M. D., London, Eye and
Ear Surgeon, will he at McKibbon's
drug store the first Tuesday in each
month ; hours, 2 to 9 p. rn. Cataract,
squint, failing eyesight, nasal catarrh,

Sabbath Observance.
It seems to us that an awful mess
has been made of the Sabbath Obser-
vance Bill in the Commons. It was
introduced by the former Minister of
Justice early in the session, but the
Government itself has been divided on
the question, and the result is that it
has been shut off till near the close of
the session, and now an emasculated
and unsatisfactory thing has been
turned out as a Sabbath Observance
Bill, The members of the Cabinet
were neither agreed amongst them-
selves, nor did they appear to know
their own minds,, On one day Sir
Wilfrid Laurier and his Alinistet• of
Justice voted against each other three
times, Ilon. llfr. Aylesworth virtu-
ally opposed an amendtnent made by
Mr. Plebe one day and caused its de-
feat, only to take up and urge the
adoption himself of a similar amend-
ment as few days later, Hence it is
no wonder that the I3i11 is unsatisfac-
tory and is filled with contradictions
and inconsistencies. It is no harm to
play golf on Sunday, but it is a crime
to indulge in other kinds of wren.

ONT,, THURSDAY,
To California. ' •
On Satnrclay next, Miss L. Lloyd
expects to leave for California, where
she intends
to spend pen twelve clue months
with her brothers, who reside in Oak-
land. On Saturday last, the em-
ployees of Lloyd's factory, where Miss
Lloyd has been for many years the
efficient hook -keeper, presented her
with a Lady's Companion, accompani-
ed by an address expressing their kind
wishes for her future welfare. In the
Methodist Sunday School last Sun -
clay, in which Miss Lloyd has been a
faithful teacher for a number of years,
the hope was expressed that the trip
would be a very beneficial and plea-
sant one for Miss Lloyd.
Our Fall Fair,
The prize lists for the Fall Fair, to
be held September 27 and 28, are now
ready and have been mailed to the
members, Should any one fail to re-
ceive a copy, they may secure one on
application to the Secretary, H. B.
Elliott. Let every member lend a
hand to improve the Fall Fair. We
have a good centre, and there is no
reason why Wingham Fair should not
be the leading Fair of the county.
Take an interest in it ; resolve to do
something to add to the exhibit. The
officers cannot do it alone ; it requires
the co-operation of every member.
Those who are not members should
have their names added to the list at
once. Get a copy of the prize list,
and prepare an exhibit.
Seaforth Vs. Wingham.
Another game in the district cham-
pion list will be played on the Town
Park, Wingham, on Wednesday, 18th
inst., between Seaforth and Wing -
ham. This game will have much to
do in deciding the championship.
The citizens should give the boys a
good gate, as they are short of funds,
and the Garden Party on Friday even-
ing, on which they depended to help
them out, was a failure, so far as as-
sisting their expense account was con-
cerned. The boys want to square up
everything in business -like shape.
Help them, and they will appreciate
it very much, as the season is nearing
an end. Seaforth and Wingham are
equal now, each having lost one
game ; hence a lively game may be ex-
pected.

Salt In Northwest.
A letter from R. C. Sparling of
Dauphin (formerly of Wingham) to
A. E. Smith, gives the following iters
of news that may be of interest—"The
salt claims in the possession of 1?. K.
Herchmer and his son AVilliarn, at
Dawson Bay, lake Winnipegosis, have
been worked by them lately for the
purpose of testing their value. The
results have been more than encou-
raging. This salt was analyzed and
found to be of high commercial value;
being of the finest quality that is in
general use as table salt. The springs
producing the brine from which the
salt is taken are numerous, varying in
sizes. One spring was tested and
found to have a flow of 30 gallons to
the minute, producing one pound of
salt to the gallon."
Wingham Hospital.
Wingham has again demonstrated
the fact that it is a progressive town,
and its citizens of that class who have
faith in their town and do what is in
their power to forward its interests.
In the matter of the establishment of
a Hospital, the public spirit and enter-
prise manifested have been commend-
able. During the past few weeks, be-
tween five and six thousand dollars
have been subscribed, thus ensuring
the success of the enterprise. That
beautifully -situated and commodious
building built a few years ago by A.
W. Webster, has been secured. It
contains twenty-two rooms and when
slightly remodelled and fitted up, will
stake a very suitable building for the
purpose. An enthusiastic meeting of
the promoters was held in the Council
Chamber on Tuesday evening for or-
ganization. Mayor Bell presided and
Mr. R. Vanstone acted as secretary.
Dr. Kennedy, who bas taken great in-
terest in the project, stated that $5,200
had been subscribed, with prospects
of more within a few days. Dr. Tam-
lyn, Dr: Chisholm, M. P., Dr. Red-
mond, Rev. T. S. Boyle and others
gave short addresses, pointing out the
advantages of a hospital to a com-
nnnnity and Wiugham's favorable lo -
ration for such an institution. The
following provisional directors were
elected : —Messrs, Thos. Bell, Richard
Vanstone, A. E. Smith, P. J. Taylor,
Rich. Clegg, Walter Green, Rev..T. S.
Boyle, Drs. Tanllyn, J. R. Macdonald,
Redmond, Kennelly and Hamilton.
In addition to the stock subscribed,
quite a number have promised dona-
tions, some in cash, others in ftu'nish-
ings to fit up the hospital, so that the
enterprise may be regarded as success-

10 A Collision.
Frank Bradwin, son of Jos, Bradwin
of town, is oke country buyer for a
large e fir rH
anilton
While on his
last trip, the steamer he sailed in (The
"Majestic") narrowly escaped a serious
collision, oft' the coast of Ireland, by
coming in contact with the light -ship.
A calamity was only averted by the
coolness and quick action of Captain
Hayes, of the Majestic. On account
of the fog the liner was running at
half -speed, when the lightship was
suddenly sighted only fifteen feet
ahead. In the twinkling of an eye the
liner's rudder was put hard tr-port.
The starboard side grazed the light-
ship. The shock- threw the two thou-
sand passengers into a panic, and Cap-
tain Hayes ordered boats to be man-
ned to render assistance to the light-
ship if needed. The lightship had pre-
viously been in wireless communica-
tion with the'time,
test'c for o some m t me,
and the accident was due to the fact
that the lightship's siren was not
blown sufficiently, hence the Captain
of the Majestic was not aware he was
so near.
Sad And Unexpected.
A sad event darkened with gloom,
the home of Mr. Chas. Button, clerk
of Culross, last week. His daughter,
Mae, had been teaching at Desbarats,
Algoma, and was returning home for
her vacation. Her trunks arrived in
Teeswater safely, and her friends were
expecting her daily. While waiting
for her arrival, they were shocked to
read in the daily papers that the body
of a young lady, named Button, had
been found floating in the bay at one
of the docks in Toronto. Inquiry re-
vealed the fact that it was Miss Mae
Button of Teeswater. The case was
investigated, and the young lady's
trunks were returned to the authori-
ties at Toronto, to ascertain if there
was anything therein that would point
to suspicion. Nothing, however, was
found indicating such, and the war-
rant for the inquest was withdrawn,
as it appeared a clear case of acciden-
tal death. The remains were brought
to Teeswater for interment. The de-
ceased young lady was a neice of Mrs.
Wnr. Fessant and Messrs. Jesse and
Watson Batton of Wingham.
Farm Drainage.
The Department of Physics at the
Ontario Agricultural College is endea-
voring to emphasize the importance
to fanners of proper drainage of their
land. This meets with such hearty
approval by the Minister of Agricul-
ture that he has authorized the of-
ficers of the Department to go out
among the farmers where requested,
take the levels of their land, locate
the drains for them, and give informa-
tion generally on the subject, the only
expense connected with it being the
travelling expenses of one man.
Where two or .three persons in the
same vicinity have work to be done,
they should arrange together to have
all clone during one trip, enelr one pay-
ing his proportionate share of the ex-
pense. The plan reduces the individ-
ual outlay to a very small sum. All
communications on the subject should
be addressed to War. H. Day, Lectur-
er in Physics, Ontario Agricultural
College, Guelph. The Department is
also endeavoring to collect informa-
tion with regard to damage by light-
ning, in the hone that a fuller under-
standing of its habits and freaks may
lead to more effective protection
against it.

It Is Better.
"Better to strive and elinrb,
And never tench the goal,
Than to drift along with time,
An aimless, worthless soul.
Aye, better to elitnb and fall,
Or sow, though the yield be mall;
Than to throw away, day after der,
And never strive at all."
