R. agent at Londesboro, mourns the death of his son, Percy, who died in Toronto on Wednesday of last week. He had been learning the watchmak- ing in Seaforth, and sometime ago was operated on for appendicitis, and also suffered from typhoid fever. Deceas- ed was in his 20th year, a bright promising young mina His remains were brought to Wingham for inter- ment in the family plot, on .Thursday last. His father, and his brother J. J. who is in his third year at Cleveland University, accompanied by Mr. Fair - waives of Toronto, attended the in- terment in Wingham. Deceased was a nephew of Mr. Amos Tipling, of town. —It is frequently said "What's in a Mune?

The Trustees of Wingham Metho- dist Church, aided by the pastor, have made another substantial reduction in the debt on their fine property, reduc- ing the liability from $1900 to $1400.

Where Chickens Roosted. The late Alexander Ferguson of Blandford left an estate worth $60,000. A. number of the relatives represent- ing the various branches of the family filed claims for provisions or services rendered during the old man's life- time, and it was to adjudicate upon these claims that the .county judge was called to act as arbitrator. The evidence showed that the old man was rather peculiar in his. domestic habits, In giving a description of his living apartments, one witness said' that the chickens roosted above the table from which he ate, and the clog was kept almost constantly in the room. DR. OVENS, of Loudon, Surgeon, fits glasses properly. Treats diseases EYE, EAR, NOSE, THEOAT. Office bon's drug store, Whightun, MONDAY, April 17th. The New inspector. The Clinton News-Reeord has this to say of the new License Inspector for West Huron :--Mt'. Asquith was horn in the township of Hullett about forty years ago. He is a graduate of the Clinton Collegiate and attended the University at Toronto. He is a good naturetl man and fond of a joke, but when the occasion requires is firm and decided. To an extent his will be found to be a hand of steel in a velvet glove, of which those most concerned will do well to note. The inspector- ship is not by any means a sinecure, for with Temperance extremist pull- ing one way and the antis another it will be quite impossible to please both parties, but we believe Mr. Asquith will enforce the law fairly and im- partially. Automatic Telephone. The Telephone committee Of the House of Commons recently examined N. D. Mill, head of..the Canadian Ma, chine Telephtine Co., manufacturing the Lorimer automatic system. The device does away with the central and makes automatic connection. Mr. Mill said the company would in three weeks have its first Canadian ex- change installed, itt Peterboro. The comp:illy had been incorporated with a quarter of a million capital over two years ago, and bad been struggling ever since to save $100,000 to instal the Peterboro system. The automatic system requires one attendant for 1000 subscribers. while the ordinary ex- change requires an attendant for each 40 to 60. Mr. Mill thought if the Gov- ernment undertook to control the long-distance trunk telephone lines there would be a great impetas given to the organization of independent municipal exchanges. WANTED—At once, partner for Real Estate and Insurance business; must be a hustler: Apply personally to C. J. Maguire, Real Estate Agent, Wing - ham, Ont. . Contest Closed. An interesting contest hits been go- ing on during the past three months among the members of Wingham ,Council, No. 114, R. T. of T., which concluded with the last meeting in March. The sides were known as the "reds" and the "blues," the latter win- ning by a good margin of points. Each side presented excellent pro- grams on alternate evenings., and by this means brought out considerable latent talent, The membership has also increased from 55 at the 1st of December, to 153 at the present time. At the regular meeting on Tuesday evening, an excellent program was given by members of both sides, after which the "reds" treated the Council to ice cream. For a new Council, No. 114 has made remarkable progress, and if it is the means of keeping boys and young men from frequenting questionable places of resort, it is do- ing a commendable work, and one which should receive every encourage- ment. Anniversary Services. Next Sunday, Rev, E. E. Scott, of Galt, will preitch the anniversary tsar - mons of Wingham Epworth League, both morning and evening. Mr. Scott's visit to Winglutin is being looked forward to with much interest, and large congregations are expected. On Monday evening, Mr. Scott will deliver his popular lecture--"Canitcla, the land of the Maple." The Gode- rich Signal .says of this lecture :— "It was one of the most enthusiastic its Well as instructive and interesting lectures ever delivered in Goderich. The lecturer aroused the interest and patriotism of his audience by a splen- did description of the grandeur of the position, extent, natural beauty, legis- lation, education and religious liberty of Canada, for 'oil no grander land does the sun look down'. The mag- nificent resources of Canada in her fisheries, forests, minerals and iigaicel. Wye were exhaustively dealt with, the speaker showing a wide knowledge and just appreciation of these rich and extensive assets. Mr. Scott's law. uage was picturesque and eloquent at all times, but when he latmeired forth in hie eulogy of the scenery of Canada his Worcispietering Was very lino in. deed,'" There should be 4 large audience to hear this peariotie leder* ; tickets, 15 ets. er two for 25 eta, hi Use 45 years. The Seaforth Expositor nays :—Mr. John Walker of Roxboro, has just re. moved from the kitchen of his resi. dome a "Victoria" cooking stove which he purchased from the late Jno. Kidd in 1800 an4 it was in constant use until last week when he had it taken down to make room for one of more modern construction. It was still in a very good state of preserva- tion and what is even more surprising the same pipes that were got with the stove were still in use when it was taken down and some of them were so good that Mr. Walker had them used in connection with his new stove. 111r, Walker says that he has burned in that stove over four hundred cords of wood. This, certainly, is a stove with a record and there are none made these daysthat could equal it for longevity. Rapidly Promoted. The Advance is always pleased to report the progress and prosperity of Wingham boys, and hear of their suc- cess. This week we have the pleasure of copying from a leading provincial paper, a. report of the success of J. 0. Reading, son of 0. J. Reading of our town, and at the same time, we wish to congratulate hint on Itis success and promotion. The Peterboro Examiner says :— "Mr. J. C. Reading, one of the local agents of the Union Life As- - serene company, after a service of six months in that capacity here, has been promoted to the position of District Manager, With office at Oshawa, Ont. The record "mule by this popular young man is one that is seldom surpassed by men who have been in the assur- ance business for many years, The fact that the company has recog- nized the ability of Mr. Reading in such a substantial manner, is a source of much gratification to his many friends. He has the honor of being one of the youngest Dis- trict Managers in the company's employ and practically holds the record for rapid promotion among the many representatives of this company. The best wishes of his many friends will accompany him when he enters epos. the duties of his new position, Monday, March 27th.

After a tedious illness from that sidious disease, consmnption, Mrs. D. B. Anderson passed away on Thurs- day last, in her thirty-fifth year. De- ceased was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs Thos. Henderson of town. For some time past she had, on account of her illness, resided with her parents. She leaves a sorrowing husband, and three young children to battle with life without a loving mother's care. Mrs. Anderson was a member' of Wingham Presbyterian Church, The funeral took place on Saturday to Wingham cemetery, Rev. D. Petrie conducting the burial service.

Hutchison of Wingham ; the sons aro Thom" of Newton, and Hugh, who resides upon the homestead. Deceased was a, member of Fordwich Presbyterian Church, and was in his 77th year. School Accommodation. Since our last issue, men have been busy preparing the old Congregation- al Church, for the reception of one of the departments of the Public School. The desks will be removed during the Easter vacation and new desks placed in the room thus vacated ; this room will probably be occupied by Miss Reynold's department. The mange- ment now made Is only temporary, in order to relieve the crowded state of some of the rooms. Permanent ex- tension of the Public School accom- modation is a problem 'Winghain must face, at no very distant date, either by the enlargement of the pre- sent betiding, the erection of a Ward school, or the establishment of a High School, as may be deemed best in the interests of the Town. The School Board is fully alive to the situation, and will eonsider the question in all its bearinge. Keep your bowels regular by the use of Ohamberlain,s Stomach and Liver Tablets.

This matter of drainage has come to be a serious question and the Town Coun. cil would like to get an expression of the feeling of the ratepayers thereon, before formulating a scheme, or sub- mitting a by-law therefor. All per. sons interested in this matter aro re- spectfully invited to attend the meet. ing.—Tnos, BELL, Mayor, See the new Easter postcards, just in, at Cooper's Book store.

The firm is noted for its push and energy, and has built up a sun. cessful manufacturing business, Mr. Armstrong has been honored with the confidence of his fellow -citizens, who elected. him Reeve of the village. Markdale at first was named Corna. buss, but many years ago, its name was changed to Markdale, in honor of one of its pioneers, namesake and. grandfather of the gentleman referred to in this paragraph. It is a progres- sive village, with excellent building's, and good citizens Dr. T. S. Sproule, M. P. and 1. B. Lucas, M. L. A. have their homes there. So far as business is concerned there is probably more business done in Markdale, than in many places considerably larger. The Standard, Markdale's newsy news- paper visits our sanctum regularly, and along with other enterprises, that of Armstrong Bros., included, has done its share towards building up a substantial town—which we expect it will be, before many years pass by, Pretty April Wedding. A pretty wedding in which no small interest has been taken, inasmuch as the families of both bride and groom are so well and widely known here, was that which was solemnized on Wednesday evening, April 12ta, at the beautiful home of Mr. and Alas. John Haig, 651 con. Kinloss, when their eldest daughter, Belle M„ was united in marriage to W. J. A. McGregor, son of Mr, D. McGregor of town. The home was beautifully decorated, and beside a hank of flowers and ever- greens, the ceremony was performed, Rev. G. M. Dunn of Whitechurch officiated in the presence of about 150 invited guests. The bride entered the drawing room leaning on the arm of her father, who gave her away. She was attired in white taffeta silk, trim- med with all-over lace with valen- cienues insertion, and. wore a beautiful crescent of pearls, the gift of the groom, and was attendel by Miss Kate Kenney, daintily frockea in silk crepe de chene, Miss Mary M. McGregor, sister of the groom, prettily dressed in cream voile acted as maid of honor, and Mr. C. D. McGregor of Seaforth assisted the groom. The groorn's presents to the bridesmaid and maid of honor were gold bracelets, and to ' the groomsman it kohl ring. After the ceremony, and congratulations had. been received, the guests entered the dining room where a tastefully - served wedding repast was partaken of, after which the evening was spent in games and dancing. A very large number of beautiful and costly pres- ents evidenced the popularity of both bride and groom. Among the presents to the bride was a souvenir which was given to the groom by the bride's grandmother over twenty years ago. After visiting friends in London and Chatham, they will be "at home" after April 24th at their home in Thames - ford, where Mr. McGregor is editor and manager of the "Star."
