Wednesday, August 19th has been proclaimed by the Mayor as Wingharn's Civic Holiday. This date has been sel- ected so as te give a large number of our citizens an opportunity of going to Fergus when the Wingham boys will play the final game of lacrosse with the boys from Orangeville. Former Winehamite Honoured. 'Mr. J. 11. Hiscocks, who has for a long time been connected with the In- ternational Harvester (3ompany's Lon- don office as cashier, and who has been appointed secretary of the Western On- tario Commercial Association, With headquarters at London, was honoured by members of the office and warehouse staff on his departure. /His fellow - workers presented Mr. Hiscocks with a handsome, travelling set as a mark of their esteem and good fellowship. Mr. Hiscocks is a former well-known resi- dent of Wingham. Football Match. A very closely contested football match was played in the town park on Friday evening last between the Cadet Football and Wroxeter Juniors, which resulted in a tie of 1-1. The Cadets succeeded in scoring before half time was called, but in the second half the visitors evened up honors by also scor- ing a goal. Twenty minutes overtime was then played, but both teams failed to score. This is the second contest in which these teams have tied. The local team will play the return game in Wroxeter. Lacrosse Boys Again Defeated. An 0.A.L.A. game of lacrosse was played in Orangeville on Wednesday last between the Wingham and Orange- ville intermediate teams. Owing, no doubt, to the changes made in the team the boys failed to come up to their usual standard as stick handlers, and were defeated by a scere of 8 to 1. This defeat makes homers even in this district and necessitates the playing of another game on neutral grounds, which will take place in Fergus on August 19th. With Fink and Wil:iams again playing, the team should be able to put up a winning game on Wednes- day next. Apply to Local Officers, Col. Hughes announced at Ottawa, on Saturday, with a request that the news- papers all over Canada gave it publicity, the following: -"The recruiting for the special overseas force is being done by local militia officers throughout the Dominion, and it is desired that intend- ing candidates will not write to Ottawa, nor trouble the Minister with letters and telegrams for enlistment. All such lists are to be made up and forwarded by the captains of companies and officers commanding regiments. Application, therefore, should be made by individuals, in all cases, to the local militia command- ing officer in their own neighborhood." • The New Armoury. )( The handsome new armoury on Ed- ward street, has been completed, and is now ready to be taken off the contract- or's hands. The building is a red brick constructure, 44x90 feet, and is the first of the kind in this section of On- tario. Mr. J. Mills, of Kincardine, had the contract for the construction and Messrs. A. Young and A. Schaefer took the contrects of plumbing and painting. The interrior is fitted with hardwood flooring throughout and contains besides a drill hall, 40x70 feet, three rooms on the ground floor for storage of eloth- ing, rifles, etc. • Above these is the gallery with three departments for the °Mors' use, In the basement there is a !ergo furnace room and shooting gallery 8)(80 feet, the Windows of which are fitted with ventilators to carry away the smoke. The building is furnished with brass fittings, electric light and fire proteetion and is painted throughout in a stone blue eolor/Mr. VanNotnian, inspector of the buil ing is to be con- gratulated for the efficient manner In Which ha performed his duty and ell branohes of work hes beet done hi a first-class - tnanner, and te the entire satisfaction of the departnsent WIN TIMES.

"Newspaper edvertising is your best salesman' When times are dull keep up your advertising and incx•ease your space from time to time," This was the advice given delegates at National Shoe Retailers' Association convention by William Laird, Pittsburg, based on a successful business career of more than 30 years. Plenty of Provisions. Safety of coastwise shipping, even in war areas, and the fact that channels of trade from Canadian shores are like- ly to remain open indefinitely, are doing much allay any feeling that there might be a shortage of food in the Dominion. For householders to lay in large supplies of provisions is characterized by whole- salers as folly as it is certain that the provisiori market will shortly steady down again, perhaps nearly normal. This movement is expected as soon as shipping activity is resumed between American shipping ports and Europe. Wingham Fall Fair. The prize list for the Wingham fall fair, to be held on Thursday and Friday, September 24th and 25th, have been sent out to a large number of people this week. The list has been thoroughly overhauled and revised this Year and is made more attractive than ever before. Several additional prizes have been add- ed and ethers increased and it is con- fidently expected that the show of this year will be the largest and best ever held in town. If you have not received a copy of the list, you an secure one on application to the secretary, H. B. Elliott, at the TIMES office. No Camp at Goderich. Leave of absence of all officers, non- commissioned officers and men of the regular militia of Canada has been can- celled and all now on furlough have been ordered to report to their units at once. This order was received Tuesday evening bv Co]. W. E. Hodgins, in com- mand of the local headquarters at Lon- don. He was also advised that the camp at Goderich, and the manoeuvers of the city regiments arranged for this month have been officially postponed. Messages have been received in Gode- rich confirming the cancellation of the camp, and all preparations have been stopped. Women's Institute Picnic. The last regular meeting of the Wing - ham branch of the Women's Institute was held at the home of Mrs. W. J. Adair in Turnberry on Thursday, July 29th and took the form of a picnic. There was a large attendance of mem- bers and visitors from the St. Helens and St. Augustine Institutes. The meeting was one of the best in the his- tory of the Institute and excellent papers were given by Mrs. Gillespie and Mrs. Hall. After the meeting lunch was served under the trees in the or- chard. The tables were •laden with a grand bill of fare and all present voted Mrs. Adair an excellent hostess. A pleasing feature of the meeting was that seventeen new members wore se- cured. The ladies were highly pleased with the success of their July meeting. Death of Mr. Small. On Wednesday, July 20th, Mr. Rich. ard Lewis Small passed away at the family residehee, on Minnie street. He had been ailing for some time and his death was not altogether unlooked for. Death was due to heart failure and up to the time of the fatal illness the de- ceased had never been ill. The deceased was born in Oxford County in 1844 and in 1871 he married Miss Susannah Bell and settled on a farm in Perth County where he lived for a number of years. The deceased was a member of the Anglican Church Besides a sorrowing wife, deceased leaves four sons and two daughters:— Thos,, of Listowel; Andrew, of Wood- stock; Bolen, of Chatham; and Edwin, at home. Mrs. John Haines, of Culross; Airs. Hugh McDonald, of Teeswater, to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband and father. The funeral took place from his late residence on Friday, July 31st to Wingham cemetery, the service was conducted by the Rev. E. G. Dymond, rector of the Anglican Church, and was attended by Mr. Mattheson Small, of Woodstock, who is a brother of the deceased; Miss L. Small, Woodstock; Mr. Andrew Bell, Mr, Bolen Bell, of Stratford; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bell, Teeswater.

Mr. Breckenridge underwent an operation recently and finds the business too heavy for him to handle./ We wish Silt McGee every success in his new, business. Fire Company's Success, The Wingham Fire Company accom- panied bysthe band attended the Fire- men's Tournament held in Seaforth on Wednesday of last week A large num- ber of our citizens were also in attend- ance, about one hundred tickets being sold from this point, besides the large number who autoed down. The Wing- eam firemen succeeded in bringing home two prizes, having secured second place in the hose reel race, and third in tne hook and ladder race. This bespeaks well for the Wingham Brigade, as some twenty towns took part iiithe competi- tion. Pitt—Buttery On Wednesday morning, Aug. 5th, at St. Paul's Church a very quiet Wedding took place, when Miss Rosabell Buttery was united in marriage to Mr. Ernest Pitt, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. E. G. Dymond. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Ada, while the groom was supported by the bride's brother, Mr. Albert Buttery, of Hamilton. After the ceremony a sump- tuous breakfast was served at the resi- dence of the bride's parents. The young couple were the recipients of many beautiful and costly presents. The TIMES joins with their many friends in wishing the young couple happineis and prosperity through life. Good Advice. The Canadian press, on the whole, is talking sense. Here is a sample from the Toronto World:—Canada will do everything that is needed of her in send- ing men to the front But Canada can do a great deal more by keeping a level head in her domestic affairs. We al- ways need prudence and diocretion, and never more than now, but these virtues must not be allowed to degenerate into any vicious panic. There is no need to hoard up flour in a damp cellar, and there is sugar enough to burn. This generation has never seen a big emer- gency before, and was loath to believe there could be one, but now that it has arrived. we have no need to run behind a hedge about it. The more nearly we can go on doing our ordinary business and attending to our ordinary affairs the better it will be for all of us, across the Atlantic or between the two oceans. Winghainites are Ready X On Tuesday a number of members of Wingham Company of the 33rd Regi- ment went to Clinton, accompanied by Captain N. T. Sinclair, and were ex- amined with a view to being ready to take their places in any of the Canadian contingents which may be required in England. All opThe following, except one, were accepted:—Dr, H. J. M. Adams, Dr. W. J, R. Hambly, Sergt. R. E. N. Barron, Sergt. John Budge, Corp. A. Bowyer, Privates C. J. Mar- shall, Arthur O'Farrell, G. E.

A very interesting and closely con- tested game of baseball, was played in Lucknow on Friday last between the Lucknow and Wingham teams. The game throughout was a pitcher's battle. In the first innings neither team scored In the second, however, the Wingham team tallied three runs while the home team scored two. The next four innings were blank, both teams failing to se- cure a run. In the seventh the visitors succeeded in securing the only run made in the remainder of the game, making the score 4 to 2 in favor of the Wing- hamites, The return game will be play- ed on the -town park this (Wednesday) afternoon. This promises to be a good game as the team will put up a strong fight for this game,which should they win, will place them as chamsions of the Lakeside League, when they will meet the winners of the Palmerston and Walkerton games in the Northern div- ision of the league. The game by in- nings was as follows:— Wingham-0 3 0 0 0 0 10 0-4 Lucknow-0 2 00 0 0 0 Q 0-2 The standing of the teams so far is: Wingham, won 9 and lost 1 Lucknow, " 6 " " 3 Teeswater " 4 " " 7 Kincardine " 1 " 11 The batteries were:—Wingham, Tel- fer and Geddes; Lucknow, Siddall and Johnston. B. Company Attends Divine Service. On Sunday last the annual Military Church Parade took place when B. Company, 33rd Regiment, attended Divine Service in St. Paul's church. There was a good representation of the volunteers and a large congregation present, notwithstanding the extreme heat. The service throughcut was particularly appropriate for such an oc- cession; the psalms for the ninth day of the month were as fitting as though specially chosen; speaking of God's special providence over his people in time of war. Special prayers issued by the bishop of the diocese to be used during Britain's necessity, praying for peace and for the victory of our armies, were offered. The hymns used were taken from those appointed by the Church to be used in times of war; "Oh God of Love, Oh King of Peace, make wars throughout the world to cease"; "Praise to our God whose bounteous hand, Prepared of old our glorious land", and the National Anthem. The rector, Rev. E. G. Dymond, preached very eloquently and very forcefully from the text, Deut. 3 chap, 22 verse. "Ye shall not fear thein for the Lord our God He shall fight for you"; showing that war was justifiable under the present cir- cumstances and that Britain and her allies were fighting in a righteous cause; that out of war would come lasting peace. The preacher reminded his con- gregation that our enemies as well as our allies belonged to the great brother- hood of man and were all alike children of one common Father. The choir sang the anthem, "Soldiers Of Christ Arise" during the offertory. At the close of the service the volunteers marched to the park headed by the Citizens' Band, and were dismissed. From fifty to sixty thousand dollars' damage Was done in the destruction by fire of 34 summer cettages at arirnsby Beach, caused by the upsetting of a COM oil stove. PERSONALS Mr, A.
