Golden Wedding.
A very pleasant evening was spent
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W, S.
Anderson of the B line, Tnrnberry, on
Thursday last, when this respected
couple celebrated the fiftieth anniver-
sary of their wedding day. A large
number of their neighbors and friends
gathered with them to tender con-
gratulations and share in the festivi-
ties. Mr. anti Mrs. Anderson were
married fifty years ago, in the village
of Lochxnaben, Dtuufrieshire, Scot-
land. Friday was their wedding clay,
and certainly it ciicl not prove unlucky
for them, for they have had many
happy years together and have found
comfort and plenty in their Canadian
home. Three clays after their mar-
riage they started for Canada, and for
three years lived in Scarboro'. In 1858
they cane to Tnrnberry, when not a
tree was as yet cut. It is said that as
they drove from Clinton, es night fell,
they came to a tree that had fallen
across the road. Mrs. Anderson, with
a little one in her arms, was obliged to
spend the night in the woods until the
obstacle could be removed. They suc-
ceeded in making for themselves a
comfortable home in the new country,
and were blessed with a family of
eight; two of these are dead. The re-
maining ones are John and William in
Manitoba, Aclanr of Orilli;L, Frank at
home, Mrs. J. Currie of East Wawa -
nosh, and Miss Maggie still at home,
Mr, Anderson has reached the age of
'77, and his faithful partner, the three
score and ten mark. They are mem-
hers
rax
of the Presbyterian Church, and
enjoy the esteem of their neighbors.
On Thursday evening last a delightful
time was spent, children and neigh-
bors bringing with them gold coins,
easy chairs and other tokens of love
and esteem. Among those front a dis-
tance were Mr. and Mrs. John Ander-
son of Manitoba, Mrs. Adam Anderson
and three daughters of Orillia, Mary
Anderson of Dresden, Mrs. Elliott of
Scarboro, and a number of other
friends. May the aged couple be
spared yet many years.

Gone West.
On Tuesday last, Dr. J. S. Chisholm
left for the west, where he will no
doubt locate in some rising town. It
was known by some that he intended
to go west soon, but the doctor was so
modest he would give no idea as to
the time. Now his many friends feel
very much disappointed, as they would
have been pleased to give hint some
token of esteem and express their sin•
sere wishes for his future welfare.
The doctor, however, prevented this
by slipping away as quietly as possi-
ble. Dr. Chisholm, jun., has grown
up from his boyhood in Wingham,
and has hosts of friends in town and
surrounding country, who regret his
removal, but will be pleased to hely of
his prosperity iu the great west.

sold to any person under twenty-one
years of age, and warning every one
not to ask for liquor after legal hours.
The notice also states that no loafing
will be allowed. These are steps in
the right direction. The hot.elkeeper
generally gets the blame if the law is
broken, but very frequently the man
who wants a drink, during prohibited
hours, and induces the landlord to
break the law, is more guilty and
should receive the punishment. If
there were fewer "thirsty" ones to
tempt the hotelkeepers, there would
-be fewer infractions of the law. Mr.
Orr has done well to give the notice
referred. to.

105 Years Of Age.
Mrs. Henry Argue, formerly of
Tnrnberry (now of Nesbitt, Manitoba)
has the unique experience of living in
three centuries. She was born nearly
fifteen years before the battle of Wat-
erloo, when Napoleon the Great was
Emperor of France, andGeorge III
was King of England. The date of
her birth was August 15, 1800, so that
if spared. until August next, she will
be 105 years oke. She was born in
Ireland, and emigrated to Canada in
1813. She was married in Ireland and
had one daughter, Mrs. Miller, with
whom she now lives (a subscriber of
the Advance.) Mrs. Miller herself is
78 years of age brut still able to look
after her aged mother's comfort. In
18.15 this now aged lady was married
a second time to John Speer and lived
a
for two years in Turnberry. y Again
:
}n
she became a widow, and removed to
Cavan. She was married the third
time, to Henry Argue, and was again
bereft of her husband. She then re-
turned to Tnrnberry for a while and.
resided with her rlanghter, and after-
wards removed to Manitoba. She has
had remarkable health, and to her
daughter's knowledge has never been
i11 diving her long life of nearly 105
years. There are four generations
living on the farm where Mrs. Miller
andl•her aged mother vesicle. Many in
this vicinity will be interested to
know that this patriarchal lady still
delights itt talking of the Emerald
Isle and singing its ballads. Thongh
she is in excellent health and has a
good appetite, she has not left her bed
since a year ago last July. Her eye-
sight failed her seven years ago, but
she is wonderfully clear in her mental
perception. She. has. indeed, attained

ADDRESS AND PRESENTATION.

PUBLIC MEETING.
The public meeting held on Monday
evening to discuss the By-laws now
before the property -owners of Wing -
ham, was not largely attended, only
comparatively few appearing to take
interest in the matter. Mr. R. Clegg
was elected Chairman and the By-laws
were discussed by Mayor Bell, R. Van -
stone, Conn. Greer, Robt, Currie and
others.
The By-law proposing to fix the as-
sessment of the Canada Furniture
Manufacturers at $20,000, for a term
of ten years, does not meet with much
favor apparently. The general opin-
ion seems to be that the factories have
been liberally dealt with by the town,
and that now they should bear an
equitable share of the taxation. The
taxpayers of Wingham appreciate the
value of the furniture factories to the
town, and yet at the same time, they
would perhaps be more willing to aid
a new industry, than to give further
favors to those that (many consider)
have had enough.
There is this to be considered, how-
ever—there has been an over -produc-
tion of furniture and there are seasons
of the year when trade in this Iine is
dull. At such tines, the number of
hands must necessarily be decreased,
or sufficient storage room provided.
Tho building of the proposed. addi-
tion, 04 x 70, might enable the Com-
pany to keep running during a dull
period and thus afford continued em-
ployment to our citizens when other-
wise a closing down of the factories
might be a necessity. There is no dis-
guising the fact however, that many
of the property -owner's consider that
the Co. should provide this storage
room, without additional favors from
the town.
Suppose, however, that owing to
of the officials of St. Paul's waited over -production or other causes, it
upon hills, at the residence of his par -
factories
be necessary to close one of the
encs, when lir. Chas. Inglis, on behalf factories (and this is not improbable)

Lacrosse.
Wingham Lacrosse team went to
Kincardine on Friday last to play
with the team of that town. Our
boys have no complaint to make of
the referee, Mr. Ellis, who acted very
impartially, and repeatedly penalized
the Kincardine players for their rough
playing. At the middle of the third
quarter, the score was 2-2, and fearing
defeat, the spectators interfered, and
to this and the rough play of a few of
the Kincardine players, our boys at-
tribute their defeat, for in the last
quarter, they were prevented from
scoring, and the game closed 0-8 in
favor of Kincardine. The next game
of Lacrosse to be played here is dated
for Jane 28111, between Kincardine
and the Maple Leafs.
