A correspondent sendsus the fol- lowing, and the best of it is, that this is a truthful "fish story"; --Master Stanley Brandon, 2nd line, Morris, has during the last two weeks caught nine red -fins or mullets. The smallest weighed 3l lbs., and the largest five pounds. They were caught with a snare, but it requires an expert to land them, Stanley wants to hear of a real record that can beat this. Beat The Train. Travellers coming in on the London evening train, frequently complain of the delay at the Junction, to enable the train to back down to the station. One of our citizens has often said that be could walk the distance (which is perhaps a mile) and beat the train. He tried it on Monday evening, and won out, arriving at the station an hour before the train that brought him from Clinton to within about a mile of Wingham. A turntable at the engine house would prevent any delay at the junction. High School Notes.

An Accident. Mr. W. J. Rowson was laid up for several days as the result of an acci- dent last week. He was unhitching his horse, when the animal started off, pulling Mr. Howson down and injur- ing one of his knees, so as to confine him to his room for a few days, He is able to be around again with aid of crutches, Look Out, Boys, The Trustees of the Junction School have their eyes on some boys from town who have been going intothe school house after hours, turning things upside down, and writing ob- scene things on the blackboard. The Trustees say that they know who the guilty oyes are, and if it occurs again there will be some squirming when they come before the Police Magia trate and have to pay fines and costs, Want A New Manager. According to reports, the meeting of the Fire, Water and Light Committee on Saturday evening did not partake of the nature of a love -feast, and diff- erences of opinion were warmly ex- pressed. Fortunately, thestorm p le y , pass- ed ed without any one being hurt. The dismissal or retention of the Electric Light Manager was the storm center. It was decided by the majority to dis- pense with his services immediately. Later on, it was found that this course could not be taken, consistently with the agreement between the Town and the Manager, and it was decided to give him one month's notice. We un- derstand that the Committee have twenty-seven applications for the position. Greatest bargains ever given in Jewelry in Wingham, at Knox's. Superintendent Gillean Here. Supt. Gillean of the G.T.R. was in Wingham on Saturday, and met as many of the Town Council as could be calleca together quickly. A brief con- ference was held regarding the pro- posed sidewalk to be attached to the new bridge, which the Company is about to erect over the Maitland in place of the present structure. Mr, Gillean favors the proposition, and will recommend that the Board of G. T. R. directors permit the side- walk to be constructed. He will have plans drawn and estimate of cost made, to be submitted to the Council. The walk would be a great conveni- ence to many, especially to the West- ern Foundry, which is to -day, the most flourishing industry Wingham has. The Market Outlook. We select the following from the Financial column of Saturday's Globe :—When were prices of farm produce in Ontario as high as they are lit present ? Grainand live stock are close to famine levels, and other farm products are not far behind. Wheat continues to rule at $1.35 per bushel, but even with the seeding period at an end, the country fails to offer any of the remnants from the crop of last year. While wheat has remained firm at $1.35, the past week has seen daily advances in the local., quotations on oats. At present the buyers on the street are offering 593 for the best class of Ontario oats, and dealers at the Board of Trade building are bid- ding 56c to 57c on track Toronto, and 53e to 54c outside. The same problem, however, is confronting, in a less de- gree, the buyer of oats, as is before those who are in need of wheat. There is surprising difficulty in secur- ing No. 2 white oats in Ontario, con- sidering the time of the year, and such is the apparent scarcity that a big place has been opened on the local market for the Canada Western variety. For choice export cattle, $6.25, $6.40 and $8.50 per cwt, was paid this week in this city, and in one special sale as high as $6.75 per cwt. was realized. In 1908 during the cor- responding, week, the top prices were $6 and $6.15 for the best export cattle. The contrast inlive hog prices be- tween the present and a year ago is perhaps as interesting a comparison as has been witnessed on Iive stock mar- kets in Ontario. On Thursday, at the Western Market in Toronto, 800 live hogs sold for $7.75 f. o, b. at country points, to $8 fed and watered on the track here. The range of prices for live hogs a yegr ago was $5.75 f. o, b. to $6 fed. and watered, WANTED AT ONCE. -1000 cases 01 Eggs, 1000 boxes of Butter, Targe quan• titles of Wool.

To the Editor of the Advance :— My paper being lost, could not reply to Mr. Henry, G. T. R. agent, before this. I would say he is correct in one instance, that was when I first made inquiry about the 21,000 lbs. being the minimum weight, but I did not wish to ship on those grounds, so Mr. Henry said he would write and find out what he could do for me and that being as stated in my previous letter, C accepted his terms and shipped accordingly. I had made inquiry in Bluevale of the agent, and. he would give me no such terms and liketvise of 0.P. R. agent, Wingham, and he said I might get bit at far end, but was foolish enough to g"rel' by Mr. Henry's advice. Now Mr. Editor I wish this matter to drop, as I have no wish for any further controversary, but would say, I telegraphed to Mr. Henry as soon as possible after arrival of cars to the facts ascertainand received t n v r e e e answer.

The people of this o 0 mmunity were greatly surprised on hearing of the sudden death of one of Turnberry's mosthighly respected residents, on Saturday morning last, in the person of Mr. Donald Stewart. Deceased was in his usual health until Friday, when he complained of a pain in the chest. On Saturday morning he eat a light breakfast, but on rising from the table he took a weak turn and died before the physician arrived. Mr, Stewart was born in Campbelltown, ArgyIe- shire, Scotland, on Feb'y 17th, 1838. His father died in 1854, and he with his mother, two brothers and sister, came to Canada when he was 16 years of age, and settled in the township of Nissouri, Oxford Co. Remaining but a year there, the family came to Turn - berry and located on the farm now occupied by Mr. Peter McEwen, 2nd con., Turnberry. After a few years, Mr. Stewart settled on lot 2, con. 3, Turnberry, where he lived until his death. He was married on the 14th June, 1876, to Mary Abram, who proved to be a true helpmate. The result of their united effort is seen in their fine farm property. The de- ceased was very hospitable and kind hearted. His home was ever open to bis many friends, who can testify to his generous hospitality. Mr. Stewart was a member of the Presbyterian Church, Wroxeter, and a very wide and intelligent reader. A widow, four sons, Alex. and James at home, Wm. and John of Kenner, Lousiana, two daughters, Agnes and Jean at home, also two sisters and a brother, Miss Stewart, Mrs. Currie of Harriston, James of Newbridge, are left to mourn a most faithful husband, kind father and devoted brother.
