The Allingham Advance.
34TH YEAR, NO, M.
WINGE.A.M, ONT., THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1907.
THE BEAM ROLL,
Since our last issue, Death has been
busy, and in this vicinity, the inroads
have been chiefly among those ad-
vanced in years. In addition to the
death of Mrs, James Ford, whose de-
mise is referred to in another column,
we have to note the following:—
MRs. Manx BROWN.
Deceased was, a few years ago, a
resident of Wingharn, but after the
death of her husband and children
was left without means of support,
For several years past she had resided
in the House of Refuge, but she al-
ways expressed a hope that she should
not be buried there. Mr. John Wil-
son, V. S., and Mr. Geo, Wraith had
been executors of the estate at one
time, and they arranged for the inter.
ment here. She was 83 years of
age.
MRs. DREW.
Deceased was a' former resident of
Wingham, and after the death of her
husband, about eight years ago, she
went to reside with one of her daugh-
ters, Mrs. Sinclair, of Uxbridge. She
died quite unexpectedly on Saturday
*timing last, and interment took place
on Tuesday, from the Undertaking
rooms of S. Gracey to Wingham ceme-
tery. She leaves.one son, who resides
in Kincardine, two married daughters,
Mrs. Pocock of Toronto, Mrs. Sinclair
of Uxbridge, and one still unmar-
ried.
IsenELLA FALLIS.
Most of the deaths recorded in this
issue were of people advanced in life,
but this is an exception. Miss Fallis
was the eldest daughter of Mrs. James
Fallis, of the 11th con. of Turnberry.
The girl had been ill with dropsy for
several months, and died on Tuesday
last, in her 15th year. Mrs. Pauls has
had much trouble in her life, and the
death of her eldest daughter just as
she was reaching the age when she
might be useful to her mother, is in-
deed a trial that will no doubt call
forth the sympathy of the community.
Interment took place in Wingham
cemetery on Wednesday.
MRs. CORR,
The deceased lady was a sister of
Mrs. Lewis, sr., of Turnberry, with
whom she had resided for the past
'two years, She was a native of Eng-
land and came to Canada about sixty
years ago, and resided for a number of
years in Ingersoll. She then with her
partner in life removed to London,
where .Mr. Curr died. She was a
member of the Baptist Church. Last
June, she was attacked by para-
lysis, since which time she has been in
Wingham hospital, where she passed
away on Monday, aged 82. The fun-
eral took place from Walker's under-
taking establishment, on Tuesday
morning to the G. T. R. station; inter-
ment in Ingersoll.
MRS. MARY WISNER
Passed away on Sunday, Aug. 11th,
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Gould, Wingham, aged 83. Deceased
was a native of Ireland, and came to
Canada when only two years of age.
She lived in Peterboro for 25 years,
and then removed to Arran, where
she lived for over fifty years. Mr.
*Wisner passed away about 26 years
ago. For some time past, Mrs. Wis-
ner had been residing with her daugh-
ter, Mrs. White of Invermay, but in
May last, she came to spend a few
months with her daughter, Mrs.
Gould. Death was due to the break-
ing up of the system owing to old
age, and for the past few months, she
had been nearly blind and deaf. She
frequently expressed a desire to de-
part and be at rest in a better land.
She had been a devout member of the
Anglican Church since childhood.
She leaves one son, now in Brandon,
and three daughters, Mrs. Owens of
St. Joseph Island, Mrs. Gould of
Wingham, and Mrs. White of Inver -
may, at present in Saskatoon. I.

EXAMINATION RESULTS,
Marvellous Record Made By Wingham
High School.
Only One Recommended Candi
Failed To Pass.
ate
The results of the Junior Matricula-
tion and Junior Leaving examinations
are now available, and Wingham High
School has made a very creditable
record indeed, to which we have not
room this week to refer at length.
JUNIOR MATRICULATION.
Seven pupils of our High School
wrote on this examination, and six of
them passed. The successful pupils
are—W. C. Adams, J. A. Argo, C.
Wilson, T. E. Robinson, T. Scandrett,
Jno, Strachan,

Wm. Breen, Chester Copeland. Gor-
don Duncan, Annie Henry (White-
church School,) Adam Isbister, Blythe
McLaughlin,. Alfred Posliff, Geo. El-
liott, Everett Glenn, Mabel Dobson,
Lillian Doyell.
When this record is analyzed, it
proves to be marvellous indeed. For
the first term, the teachers and pupils
worked under many disadvantages.
Four forms were handled by three
teachers, in the Public School build-
ing, and neither Physics nor Chemis-
try could be taught successfully be-
cause of the absence of apparatus and
laboratory. Then again, it was the
middle of January before the next
term was well open because of moving
into the new building, and even then
four teachers were struggling, with
work and attendance sufficient for five.
And yet, with 28 pupils recommended
to write, 27 passed, and eighteen re-
ceived honors. We question if any
High School in Ontario, even without
the handicaps above referred to, can
equal this record, and it is safe to say
it will not be surpassed.
Principal Taylor and his assistants
have reason to feel proud of the re-
sults, which prove the wisdom of the
Board in its choice of teachers.
Without detracting from the credit
due to the High School, the Advance
honestly thinks that perhaps some of
the success is due to the excellent tui-
tion, many of the pupils had received
under Principal Musgrove in the
Public School. To all, however,
teachers and pupils, we tender con-
gratulations.
If any High School in Ontario sur-
passes this recerd of Wingham, we
hope our exchanges will let us know
of it. In the meantime, we listen at-
tentively for the explosion.
The results of the Senior Leaving
exam. will be out this week.

More Cash Drawer Thefts.
We exceedingly regret to hear that
n
Wighftm is troubled with some
per-
son or persons who delight in petty
thieving, and it is just possible they
may continue until caught. Twice re-
cently, Mr. Geo, Mason's store has
been entered at night. On one oc-
casion, $6.90 was taken from the till,
and on the other, 000 was all that the
thief found, The lesson to business
men is—Don't leave loose cash in your
till at nights.

Be Careful Now.
During this very dry month there
should be great care in every direc-
tion. Carelessness may lead to fire
that may spread and cause damage.
T. T. Field spent part of Sunday last
fighting the fire on his farm at the
bend of the river. By some means,
perhaps a match dropped by a fisher-
man, fire got a hold there last week,
spread on to W. H. Cruikshank's
farm and burned over thirty rods of
fencing. This will cost money to re-
place.
For The Farmer.
The Farming World asks the fol-
lowing sensible question :—Why do
apple growers persist in selling the
product of their orchards 'several
months in advance ? Already con-
tracts are being made for "orchards"
at so much per barrel, and in nine
cases out of ten the grower will lose
by the bargain. It is better business
to wait till the fruit is ripe and take
the best price going. And a better
plan still is for neighbors to co-operate
and do the picking and packing them-
selves rather than let the buyer do it.
A Good Example.
Archie Tolton, jun., of Brant town-
ship, says the Walkerton Telescope,
has set his neighbors a good example.
It may not be considered a matter of
very great importance, but' it adds to
the appearance of the farm, and there
is a good deal in appearance after all.
But to, make a Iong story short, Mr.
Tolton had ploughed, harrowed and
rolled the side of the roadway ail
along his farm, making it smooth
enough to run a lawn mower on.
When this has been seeded down it
will look a great deal better than if it
were all bumps and hollows, and cov-
ered with stones and old rails.

Goderich Collegiate Reunion.
The reunion of former students of
the Goderich Collegiate Institute, for
which preparations have been in pro-
gress for some months, will take place
on Thursday and Friday, August 22nd
and bird. The program is to be 'as
follows:—Thursday morning, recep-
tion to ex -students at the Collegiate
Institute; afternoon and evening, re-
gatta and acquatic sports at the lake
front. Friday morning, athletic sports
and baseball match ; afternoon, pre-
sentation of a testimonial to Dr.
Strang ; evening, a banquet. Gradu-
ates of the school are coining from all
over the continent and a very in-
teresting time is expected. The rail-
ways are giving special rates on the
certificate plan.
Sunday Morning Fire.
On Sunday a morning, many of our
citizens were astir earlier than is
usual on the first day of the week.
The cause was the ringing of the fire
alarm, that called the fire brigade to
duty. About 4,30 a.m., Mrs. Barron,
who lives alone on Edward street, was
wakened by the discovery that her
house was on fire. She immediately
gave the alarm and the firemen quick-
ly responded. The fire seems to have
originated '
rri the north
Sendof the
kitchen, which was totally destroyed,
and the main part of the house was
also badly damaged by water, etc.
There was some insurance on the
building, but none on the contents,
most of which were carried out, but
damaged by removal. The house is
left in bad• condition and will require
thorough renovation before it is again
habitable. ,Even with the insurance

ed to examine the chimneys of the

Huron Apple Crop.
A report on the apple crop in Huron
county has this to say :—Apples will
be an average crop at least, and it
may be the best on record. The quali-
ty of the fruit in this district is excep-
tionally good, the fruit being general.
ly free from worms and scab, and the
indications are that there will be live-
ly times at the shipping stations this
fall. There does not appear to be a
very great show for the fall varieties.
The bulk of the crop will be principal-
ly Spies, Baldwins, Greenings, Kings,
Russets and a few other varieties. A
very conservative estimate of the pro-
bable yield for the county places it at
300,000 barrels, and already the prices
offered are as high as $1.25, with the
prospect of an advance. We hear of
several orchards being sold in bulk,
and one lucky orchardist has closed
for the handsome sum of $725.

Wingham Business College.
This educational institution has
earned for itself a most excellent re-
cord. This is no doubt owing to the
high class of teaching talent engaged,
and to obtain this, Mr. Spotton spares
neither effort nor expense. The
organization of the Orangeville Col-
lege under Mr. Spotton's supervision,
necessitated some changes here, and
Miss E. Virginia Grant, of Plainfield,
N.J„ has been engaged to take charge
of the Shorthand Department of the
Wingham Business College. Miss
Grant is a graduate of the Gregg
Shorthand School, Chicago, of which
John R. Gregg, the author, is Prin-
cipal. She has bad six years teaching
experience in leading commercial
schools of United States, and is highly
recommended by Mr. Gregg. We
understand that Miss Grant is the
second teacher in Canada who was
trained by the author above referred
to. With such a teacher, the pupils
of Wingharn Business College will
make rapid progress, and the excel-
lent reputation of the College will be
ably sustained.
A Good Woman Gone.
This week we have to chronicle the
death of an esteemed resident of our
town, Mrs. Jas. Ford, who passed
away on Friday evening last, after an
illness of several months. She did
not enjoy the best of health all last
winter, but since Easter had been con-
fined to her home, with internal can-
cer. Mrs. Ford's maiden name was
Jane E. Morcombe, and she was born
near Brighton, England, in 1841, and
was in her 67th year. She carne to
Canada when quite young, and while
living in the township of Darlington,
became acquainted. with her future
husband. Mr. and Mrs. Ford had
entered upon the fiftieth year of their
married life, and were hoping to cele-
brate their golden wedding in March
next. Mrs. Ford lived a most ex-
emplary life, having been a member
of the Methodist Church since she
was fifteen years of age, In 1872 Mr.
and Mrs. Ford removed to West We-
wanosh, and about nine years ago,
came to reside in Wingham. Mrs.
Ford was identified With the Wo-
men's Missionary Society, and while
health permitted, was always found
in her place, whether of worship or
duty. The W. F. M. Society sent a i
beautiful floral tribute and attended
the funeral ina Hers r
s was the
Y
faithful, consistent Christian life that
shines, and her illness though painful,
was borne with resignation and forti-
tude. She leaves a bereaved husband,
and one daughter, Mrs. Chas. Taylor,
of West 'Wawanosh. There are also o
four sons --W. J., in South Africa; s
Cleophas, in Winnipeg; Thomas, in a

Another Session Probable,
There are now indications that
the Dominion Parliament will meet
in November. Some time ago there
was quite a stir in some quarters in
view of an election this fall, This
family journal did not take much
stock in the rumor, sir Wilfrid gave
hie word that there would be another
session, and he could scarcely afford
to have Parliament dissolved, and ap-
pealto the h country, Pn ry, in face of the
breach of so distinct a promise. In
any case, elections come often enough
for the good of the country and busi-
ness matters, and, generally speaking,
a Parliament should live out its term.
The people should not be subject to
the turmoil of election excitement just
to suit the exigencies of politicians,
and the announcement of another ses-
sion will, we think, be acceptable to
the country generally. What the
coming session may develop or bring
to the surface is another question.
The Government did well to decide on
having another session before disso-
lution.

Two Quiet Weddings.
This week we have to report two
quiet matrimonial events. At high
noon, on Wednesday, 14th, the home
of Mr. and Mrs. P. S. Linklater was
gay with festivity, when their only
daughter, Jeanette, was united in mar-
riage to Leslie C., son of Mr. and Mrs.
Alex. Young, Rev. D. Perrie officiat-
ing. Only the immediate relatives of
the contracting parties were present,
The bride travelled in a natty suit of
cinnamon chiffon taffeta, trimmed
with velvet ribbon, hat and gloves to
match, The bride and groom left by
the afternoon train on their honey-
moon tour. The other happy event
also especially interested two young
Wingham people, though the marital
knot was tied in London, when, on
Wednesday, Miss Isabella, only
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter
Taylor, became the bride of Mr. John
Pearen. The happy event took place
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Martin
Waugh, on account of the illness of
the bride's mother. In the absence of
fuller particulars, all the Advance can
do is to wish both the young couple a
prosperous and happy future.

Substitute For Oats.
As the oat crop in this vicinity is
likely to be below the average, the
following may be of interest. Dr. E.
V. Wilson of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, writing in the American
Agriculturist, says :—"When oats be-
come too expensive, they may be re-
placed in the ration with corn, barley,
kafir corn, dried brewers' grain,
beans, peas, bran, cottonseed meal, or
even with highly nitrogenous coarse
focldlers. In Maine it was found that
when mixed grains were compared
with oats the mixed grains proved
more effective for colts and cost less.
In another test oats produced less
growth in colts than an equal weight
of a mixture of peas and middlings,
the ratio being 100 to 111, When
colts were fed a mixture of middlings,
gluten meal, and Iinseed meal, in the
ratio of 60-35.15, and hay, the daily
ration cost 12c, and 14c when oats
were substituted for the mixed grains,
In nearly all experiments greater
gains have been secured from mixed
grains than with the use of an ex-
clusive oat ration."

Local Option Meeting.
The delegates appointed by the,
Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist and
Anglican Churches, and the Salvation
Army, met in the Presbyterian Church
on Thursday evening to discuss the
advisability of submitting Local Op-
tion in this town. There was a fair
representation of the Churches, and
Dr. Irwin was chosen Chairman. Dr.
Macdonald considered that the time
was not ripe for the submission of
Local Option, and submitted a motion
to that effect. Mr. A. Lloyd believed
that the time had arrived, and moved
ri amendment to the effect that we
enter at once upon the campaign. Mr.
Spotton
considered rod that as this com-
mittee had no request from the peo-
ple of Wingham, there was no ap-
parent demand for such a by-law. He
moved (in substance) that the time
was not opportune for the submission
f the by-law ; that a delegation
hould wait upon the hotel -keepers
nil inform them that they would be
eeted
p to strictly keep hotel, and
bserve the present law ; also that a
ubscription be circulated at once with I
view
secure funds
to provide p
ovide ac»
W
ommodatfosl for the public, in case of i
ubmission of the by»law. Considers» w
le discussion then followed. The
beirman decided that Mr. Spotton'sl
motion really touched three separate a
nestions, and was not strictly an d
nhendnlent to the amendment. Mr.
potton then withdrew his motion, s
mid Mr. Buchanan moved that the g
ommittee adjourn to meet in two
eeks. This amendment to the e
atnlendment prevailed, and adjourn- p
ent warns made aeoordingly. 0
