Another Milestone Passed.
Looking Backward Thirty -Three Years.
With this issue the Winghatn Ad-
vance eaters its 34t1; year, Bright,
smiling, successful and optimistic.
Thirty-three years ago, August 10th
last,r,James 'lert camemeto Vin
e-
hamfrom Walkerton to commence
the .from
of the Wingham Ad-
vance, and the first issue of the paper
was on September 5th, 1£73. Wing -
haus then bud a population of five or
six hundred, Tho material for the
plant was teamed all the way from
Clinton, that being the nearest rail-
way station.
There have been many changes in
these thirty-three years. The "roan
at the helm" of the Advance has not
always been the same, but the paper
was never more successful, or popular,
than it is to -day, Mr. Fleuty is still a
respected resident of our town, and is
able to assist in the office when an
extrahand is needed.
Looking over a copy of the first
issue of the Advance, dated Sept. 5th,
1878, we note the following advertisers
of those days :—

WINDHAM won SClOOL
The Advance has several times re-
ferred to the suceess of Principal Tay-
Ior, of Wingbaui High School, while
in charge of the High School in Dut.
ton, The following from a Dutton
paper gives another example of the
res z
ts that have followed from Mr.
Taylor's teaching, and the exceptional
success of another of his pupils: ---
Dutton High School achieved a
distinguished success at the To-
ronto University scholarship ex-
aminations, when one of its stu-
dents, Reginald Bocking,:captured
the Edward Blake Scholarship in
Mathematics, amounting to 5214,
also the second Edward Blake
Scholarship in Science, =minting
to 5108. His record is unique, and
has never been excelled lay any
candidate from Dutton High
School. He got first class honors
in 1Slatheaual•bcs, Latin, English,
German, Science, Chemistry, Pity-
sies and Biology (Botany and Zoo-
logy); stands 2nd in Biology, 6th
in Physics, 4th in Mathematics,
Fitit in Latin, 11th in General Profs.
eiency, and 3rd for the second Ed-
ward Blake Scholarship in Mathe-
maties and Science, besides pass-
ing Parts I. and II. Senior Leaving
with honors. Mr, Booking is one
of the most talented students that
ever passed through Dutton High
School, and his brilliant success is
another gratifying contribution to
the long list of honors and scholar-
ships won by this school in recent
years. Nearly 52,000 stands to the
credit of the school during the
past six years.
Students who intend taking High
School courses of study should note
the fact that Winghatn high School
has an exceptionally strong and well-
qualified staff of teachers. What Mr.
Taylor accomplished in Dutton can be
accomplished here. Winghatn High
School will, in the near future, take a
prominent place in the educational
institutions of Ontario. The Board of
Education has spared no expense to
secure the best staff of teachers, and a
well-equipped modern building. Those
having in view a University course, or
any of the professions, will make a
mistake if they do not choose the best
school available, and if we make no
mistake, •take Wingham has that School.

Epworth League Baseball.
About twenty Epworth Leaguers
from Wingham accompanied the
baseball team to Teeswater on Thurs-
day afternoon of last week, and saw
them get walloped by the Teeswater
team. The game was listless and un-
interesting, and there wasn't enough
excitement to allow the spectators to
do enough cheering to keep them-
selves warm. After the game, the
Teeswater Leaguers entertained the
visitors in the school -room of the
church, and that was followed by a
short program in the auditorium. Al-
together a very pleasant time was
spent.
For California.
Dr. and Mrs, Towler expect to leave
this week to spend the winter in Cali-
fornia, and on Sunday last they closed
their labors (for the present at least)
in the Methodist Sunday school here.
A. number of the officers and teachers,
in speaking, voiced the sentiments of
the entire school and membership of
the Church, in expressing the hope
that Dr. and Mrs. Towler would have
a pleasant trip and be spared to re-
turn again to Wingliam. Both have
been most enthusiastic Sunday school
workers ; the success of the school and
its present prosperous condition are
largely due to their faithful, efficient
and persevering work. Mrs. Towler
will also be much missed in the W. F.
1,1. society of the Church. The • Ad-
vance wishes thein a pleasant time in
sunny Cti"lifor•niat, while we expect to
be shovelling snow during the coming
winter.

Wedded In Toronto.
As we went to press for this week's.
issue, Wednesday, August 20th, a
happy event transpired in Toronto,
Miss Jessie Porter, daughter of Mr.
Richard Porter, of Wingham, became
the bride of Johu W. Pattison, son of
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Pattison, of
Winghatn. The bride is one of Wing -
ham's highly esteemed young ladies,
and the groom was one of Wingharn's
steady and industrious young men,
who a short time ago, purchased a
furniture business in Port Elgin. The
ceremony took place at 4 p.m. in St.
Andrew's Church, Rev. Dr. Eakin,
performing the inarriage ceremony.
In the absence of fuller particulars,
all we can do, is to wish Mr. and Mrs.
Pattison long life, much success and
all the happiness possible. Both have
a large circle of friends, who wish
them a happy future, On Tuesday
evening, the Clerks of town presented
Miss Porter with a beautiful Cut glass
pitcher with silver top, as a token of
high esteem. The gift was accom-
panied by sincere wishes for her
future prosperity.
Interesting Address.
Miss A. 0. Macdonald, National
Secretary of the Young Women's
Christian Association in Japan, is
home on a visit, after spending two
years in the far east. On Sunday
evening last, she gave an excellent ad-
dress in the Presbyterian church, out-
lining her work in Japan. There is
no State church in that country ; all
forms of religious belief stand on
equal basis in the eyes of Japanese
law. The country is now in a transi-
tion state. The old religion is being
discarded (especially by the young)
and as Miss Macdonald pointed out --
unless the gospel is introduced and ac-
cepted, the people may drift into in-
fidelity. Hence the necessity for the
Church and other religious organiza-
tions acting promptly and energetical-
ly. Miss Macdonald's address was very
interesting; it was given in excellent
form, and listened to with great at-
tention. The speaker's enthusiasm in
ber work impels her to return in a
short time to further prosecute it in
far-off Japan.

Death of John J, Elliott.
Bereavement has come to another
Wingham home, and this week we
have to record the visit of the angel of
death, early on Sunday morning, and
the demise of an esteemed citizen, Mr.
John J. Elliott, V. 8, Mr. Elliott was
born in the township of East Wawa -
nosh, and from his boyhood days has
been almost a continuous resident of
this Vicinity. When a young pian he
chose as his profession, that of Veteri-
nary Surgeon, and graduated with
credit. For eight years he practiced
in Clifford, and about six years ago,
came to Winghatn. Nineteen years
ago he was united in marriage to Miss
Mary Ann Linklater, only daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Linklater.
To them were born one daughter and
one son. Mr. Elliott was well known
through the surrounding townships
and universally esteemed. His record
is that of an upright, straightfor-
ward, honorable business man. He
was a member of Winghatn Presby-
terian Church, and in political mat-
ters adhered strongly to the Conserva-
tive party. Three brothers remain—
William, in Brandon ; M. II. in Clin-
ton, and Irwin, on the homestead.
There are also three sisters—Mrs. Jos.
Johnston; near Blyth ; Mrs, Sheridan
of Michigan, and Mrs. Siem of Hol-
stein. Mr. Elliott was for some time
afaithful and efficient member of the
Town Conncit, For the past two
years his Health had been failing, and
it was thought for some time that the
strength of his constitution would re-
sist the inroads of disease, but by de-
grees the earthly tabernacle crumbled
and a good citizen has gone. De-
ceased was 42 years of age. Mrs. El-
liott and family have the sympathy
of our citizens in their trial and be-
reavetnent. The funeral on Tuesday
was very hugely attended, and was
conducted under Masonic auspices.
Winghatn Citizens' Band led the fnne-
ral cortege. The slowly measured
tread, and the mournful strains of the
Dead March in. Saul, added solemnity
to the occasion. The impressive ser-
vice of the Masonic Order was con-
ducted at the residence and completed
at the grave. Rev. D. Perrie, pastor
of the deceased, also conducted service
at the home and .: nd t)y the grave rete.
Among the floral tributes were band -
some wreaths and emblems, one from
the citizens of Wingliam, another
from the Woodmen of the World, and
i others.

swears not at it when it frightens his
horse as they meet or shrieks him out

drives the threshing machine by day,

night. It carries a headlight like a lo-

the devil is abroad in one of his infer-
