LONDON SEPT. 745, 1906. **V*** ,/ **V** MY.,f u M ,/,./****** THE WINGHAM ADVANCE -- THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1906 News Items. --A Polled Durham cow made 11 lbs, of butter in seven days for W. S. Miller, Lneas County, Ohio, who finds that tine breed promises well for the dual-purpose cow, --Col. Belcher, Southampton, in a number of papers states he will con- test North Bruce with the present member, C. Bowman, and he promises to beat Mr. Bowman. -Califcinia estimates that her out- put of best sugar will total a value of $5,000,(X)0 this year. Last year's output was 67,000,000 lbs„ as against an estimate this year of 93,000,000 pounds. —The grain crops through Central Ontario have been badly lodged this year, but we have bad ideal weather for harvesting. Rust and blight have been reported from a few places on the oats, which will likely yield less than otherwise, —One of the curiosities at Toronto fair this year will be a baby incuba- tor. Babies prematurely born develop into strong health active infants while in these incubators, and the mother interest increases after seeing this ex- hibit and a baby in each incubator. —Silas Eyre, of the Huron road, west, had some wheat at the mill on Wednesday, which tested 61 lbs. to the bushel. It was of the .Dawson's Golden Chaff variety and for that variety the sample is an extra good one. The yield was over 30 bushels to the acre, and the crop was grown on the sante field that wheat of the same variety was grown on last year. Last year the yield was about as large but the grain only tested 59 Iles. to the bushel. —"Horses are scarce," is the byword with all the dealers, says E. Carroll of the Exchange. "There is a reason for everything. The fanner is busy har- vesting. While it is likely there may be a number for sale after harvest, it is hard to say, even then, whether the supply will be equal to the demand. It is the honest belief of all horsemen that there will not be a good supply of first-class draft and harness horses at the present rate of breeding for the next three years. —An accident took place on Mon- day afternoon by which Saida Ruth- ven, 14 years of age, daughter of Gny Ruthven, a farmer on the 4th con. of Elderslie Tp., lost her life. She and her brother were in the act of building a load of grain on a Wagon on her father's farm. The horses became restive and made a move forward, by which she lost her balance and fell in front of the wagon, both front wheels passing over her breast, crushing out her young life instantly. . —Messrs. Frank Gutteridge and H. Edge, of Seaforth, have been awarded the contract for the erection of the passenger station, the freight houses, and the round -house, at Goderich, for the Goderich-Guelph branch of the C. P. R. 'The contract is a large one, and will amount to over $30,000. These gentlemen had the contract for the erection of the other station houses and water tanks on this road, and it speaks well for thein that their tend'r for this work was accepted by the company, although it was the highest of several.

Threshing is now quite general throughout the township. Nearly all have threshed the wheat and barley, some of which has yielded 40 to 50 bushels per acre. Mr. Spiers of the Oth con., west of Fordwich, was the first to bring a grist of new wheat to Fordwieh mill. It was delivered on the 10th inst, and tested almost 60 lbs. as it carpo from the threshing machine. While assisting in putting up a stick of timber in R. G. Nay's barn, Dennis Harrison lost his balance, and fell some ten feet to the barn floor. He was badly shaken up, and will be laid ori' work for a week or more, One of those events which cause a flutter of excitement took place at the residence of Mrs. Howard when her daughter Miss Grace was united in the holy bonds of matrimony on Tties- clay, 14th inst., to Mr, Geo. Galbraith, son of Ed. Galbraith of Orange Hill. The matrimonial knot was tied by the Rev. Mr. Wells in she presence of the immediate relatives. We understand they purpose going to Manitoba. As Miss Howard was organist at Orange Hill, and also an active worker in the church, it will not be easy to fill the gap thus created. This week it is our sad duty to re- cord the death of another of Howick's old settlers in the person of Emma Hoskin, beloved wife of the late Hugh Carson, who passed away on Wed- nesday evening last. at the age of 72 years. Deceased was born in Corn- wall,.England, in 1835, coining to this country when about nine years old. In -1850 she was nnited in marriage to Mr. Carson, living then at Brantford, later moving to Morris Tp. and then later to Howick where they lived for 32 years. Deceased leaves a family of ten children, seven girls and three boys seven of which are still living who are:—Rich., Alex., and Emma., of town ; Mrs. L. Galbraith, of the lath con. ; Mrs. Alf. Taylor, of the 15th con. ; Mrs. H. Zimmerman of the 8th con., and Mrs. McKinney of Good - lands, Man. Would you give up spittfn'—swearin'? Practice every day.

She was the mother of Mrs. John Portice, Kinloss, Mrs. E. Passmore, Bruce Tp., Mrs. J. Herron, Chatham, and Isaac Hays, of Manitoba. Her husband died about fourteen years ago.
