The bundle must have been carried past Glenannan and been lost. If this oc- curs again, some snail clerk will ee- ceive a rescinder from the Superin- tendent of nails to be more careful. Much Regretted. The many friends of Rev. E. R. Fitch, pastor of Wingham Baptist Church, will regret to hear that a To- ronto specialist finds that he has partial paralysis of the vocalchords, and may have to take a prolonged rest from public speaking. This will be much regretted, as Mr. Fitch gives promise of an exceptionally bright future. It is hoped, however, that the affection may only be of a temporary character.

After an illness extending over two years, Mrs. Ward, of Minnie street, passed to her reward, on Wednesday morning. Deceased was the relict of the late John Ward, who died about twelve lv years ago. Her maiden name was Drucilla Beaton, and she was born in Frontenac county, Ont., over sixty-seven years ago. In 1803, with her husband, she removed to Morris township, where they began to make a home for themselves. About eight years ago, Mrs. Ward removed to Wingham, where she has since been an esteemed citizen. She leaves three sons -Donald, of Talmage, Kansas, Edward, on, the old homestead, and James, of Stratford. Two daughters also remain — Hattie and Charlotte, both at home. One sister, Mrs. Wal- ler, of Kingston, is also among the bereaved relatives. Deceased was of a kindly disposition, and tirade many friends in the community where she lived so nhany years. So long as her health permitted, she was regular and faithful attendant upon, the services of the Presbyterian Church, of Which she was a member. She bore her long illness with christian fortitude and patience. Cold Storage Again. On page 4, of this week's issue, will be found Dr. Chisholm's third speech in the House of Commons on Cold Storage. This subject is of such im- portance that it should interest every- one, especially farmers. It is gratify- ing to note that interest has been aroused, and that the Minister of Ag- riculture placed in the estimates $100,- 000 as a beginning. After the debate on the second reading, this was in- creased to $150,000. Dr. Chisholm has made the subject a study, and treats it entirely from a noel -partisan stand- point, hence his speeches may be read with interest by adherents of both political parties. Prior to Dr. Chis- holm's election, the report was circu- lated far and near, that he never would be heard on the floor of the House, but so far he has spoken on the following subjects—"The Invita- tion to King Edward," "The Western Lands Question," "The German Sur- tax," "The Lord's Day Bill," and three tinges on the subject of "Cold Stor- age." Dr. Chisholm announces his intention of supporting the 8111 intro- duced by the Minister of Agrietlltttre, Hon. Sydney Fisher, At the same time he isurging that the system be made as effective as possible, and that in the interest of the fanners it should be prevented from falling into the hands of a monopoly. It will take time and money to get a complete system established, but such a scheme as Dr, Chisholm atdvoeates, which in - eludes a system of eold storage from the Canadian prodaeer to the markets of the old band, with no link missing, would be an inestimable boon to the farmers of Canada. Since the fore- going was in type, we notice also, that on Rtoaday last, Col, Hughes moved the following resolution r— "That in the opinion of this House the interests of Canada and the British Empire would be best served by a full pertnership union among Great 13rt- tain anti her colonies." This was seconded by Dr. Chisholm in an excel- lent speech, which we expect to give our readers in fell, in future lone. W.i.x'rrsn,—Two young men to Iearn Moiler-tnaktng, 18 to 20 years of age.

Mr. Crawford's lease of property expires this month. The work of removal of the old building will then begin, to make way for the new and substantial structure. Retail Merchants Banquet. Monday evening began the second year of the existence of '4Vinghant branch of the Retail Merchants' As- sociation. Arrangements were made to have more than ordinary interest attach to this meeting, and the pro - rase of the presence of E. A. Trowern, Dominion Secretary of the Retail Mer- chants' Association of Canada, was secured. The members met in the comfortable lodge -room, and proceed- ed with the election of officers, which resulted as follows ;—President — R. H. Crowder; 1st Vice -Pres. — W. J. Greer ; 2nd Vice-Pres.—D. M. Gordon; Treasurer --O. N. Griffin; Secretary -- J. 0. Leckie; Auditors—F. H. Walley and A. J. Nicholls. Unfortunately, Mr, Tr•owern, the Dominion Secre- tary, was unable to be present on ac- count of illness, but his representa- tive, Mr. Impey, of Toronto, came in on the Palmerston train. The Ban- quet was held in the spacious dining - room of the Nrttional Hotel, where Mr. and Mrs, Hanson had tables most invitingly spread, awaiting the guests. The supper was all that could be desir- ed, and was gotten up in the excellent style for which the National is noted. President Crowder occupied a seat at the head of the table, Vice -Presidents Greer and Gordon at the foot, the guest of the evening filling the place of honor near the President, while the representatives of the press were ere ac- corded seats in the centre, as a sort of balance of power, the pivotof the oc- casion, as it were, etc., etc. After the appetizing viands had been enjoyed, Mr. Impey itt an hour's address out- lined the work accomplished by the Association. A mistaken idea has gone abroad that the object of the As- sociation is to fix prices, a sort of coin - bine of the sellers against the pur- chasers—nothing of the kind. The less grievances the retailer bas to labor under, the better position he is in to serve his customers. There have been, and still are grievances, and the object of the association is to accomplish by organization, what could not otherwise be obtained, legis- lation to secure to the retailer redress from some at least of the disadvant- ages under which he labors, so that be may be able to serve his customers to the best possible advantage. The usual toasts of "The King," The Town of Wingham, Tile Press, etc., were re- sponded to by gentlemen present. Votes of thanks to Mr. Impey for his address, and to Mr. Hanson for the excellent repast, were passed, and Winghan Retail Merchants' Associ- ation entered in a prosperous con- dition, the second year of its history with prospects of continued success. --t HOCKEY GAMES. On Wednesday evening of last week the Fordwich hockey team lost to Wingbntn Business College team by a score of 4 to 3, in one of the roughest games of the season.

Ted Elliott and Johnston were both out of the game from injuries received at Mt. Forest, and Herb. Elliott, a Junior, was press- ed into service. Elliott, ,Fleming and McLean played excellent hockey for locals. The defence played a steady game all through, but saw there was no occasion for heavy work, and did not exert themselves.
