Leaving Gorrie.
Mr, Lyons of Gorrie has decided to
discontinue publishing the Gorrie
Vidette and will remove his plant
from that village to Deseronto, a town
of nearly 3000 inhabitants on the Bay
of Quante, without a newspaper. Mr.
Lyons has not bad the support he
deserved, and he is wino to remove to
a more promising field. Publishing
a newspaper involves great expense,
and no man can altord to throw away
the best part of his life in a place,
where prospects are uninviting and
discouraging. We wish Mr. Lyons
success in bis new field, and regret
losing him from the list of Huron
county newspaper teen.
The Editor's Love Letter.
Dear Darling Delinquent :—Our pre -
cions subscriber in arrears! You are
so shy 1 Do you think we have sold mit
and gone? No, little sugar plum, we
couldn't get away if we would.-• We
are still at the same old stand, dishing
out the Advance on sweet promises and
bright expectations. They make an
excellent diet darling, with a little
pudding flavored with a word of en-
couragement to serve as a desert.
We long to hear tby gentle footstep at
the door and to hear the ring of tby
bappy dollars within our office. Dear
one, we feel unusually sad and lonely
without you. Now little pie crust,
will you come ? Do we hear you
answer in a voice so sweet and be-
guiling. I'm coming, or it is only the
winds that around our office roar?
We pause for further development.
PASTURE. --Parties desiring pasture
for stock can be accommodated,—T, J.
Hutton.
Reciprocity And Prices.
The Hon. A. G. McKay stated at
Markham that eggs were about four
cents per dozen higher in the United
States than in Canada, and grew elo-
quent on the great advantages of the
American market for our surplus
product. He evidently forgot the im-
portant fact, that last year, Canada
did not furnish sufficient eggs to sup-
ply the home market.- We had to
import 731,000 dozen to supply our
own people. Besides, the price is so
low in some parts of the United States
that farmers are killing off their hens
as eggs are too cheap on the local mar-
lets. The prices,quoted on April 14th,
are as follows —Toronto, 18c; Mont-
real, 19.; ; New York, 38s. ; Chicago,
14zc. Where will the United States
market benefit the Canadian farmer?
From the "Canadian Farm" of April
14th, we take the following prices :—

Fair Warning.
Sorge delivery boys are running
risks of being tined. Instead of keep.
ing on the aide of the road on Shuter
street, some of then drive along the
sidewalks, and even allow the wag-
gon wheels to cut into lawns. Some-
body is going to get into trouble if the
praotice is continued, and it would be
wellto take this gentle hint.

ous young farmer of the district and

ing, Mr. F. J. hili rendered a fine solo
in his usual excellent style and with
good effect. In the evening, the choir
was reinforced by. Mrs. Beattie, and
also by Miss Chapman of London, who
favored the audience with a well -ren-
dered solo.
In St. Paul's Church on Sunday Iast,
the Easter services were bright and
interesting. A special collection was
taken to remove a floating debt. The
tioly Communion was observed at
7 30, 9 and 11 a.m. There was also a
children's service in the afternoon,
and the Lenten boxes returned by the
Sunday School showed receipts of
over $00. A baptismal service at,
4 p.m., and the evening service, closed
a busy day for the Rector. Special
music was rendered by the choir at
the services,
The Easter Vestry meeting of St.
Paul's Church was held on Monday

members of Wingham Methodist Sun-
day School have been preparing for
examinations as Teachers in Training,
and on Sunday last,. they - were pre-
sented with their diplomas. Those
present who received diplomas were—
Mr, J, A. Morton, Mrs. J. A. Morton,
J. W. Ansley, Miss E.• Rutledge, Miss
Georgia Mintage, Miss L. Well wood,
Misses Lillian C. and Laura Kerr.
Rev. Dr. Rutledge presented the
diplomas, and from what we can gath-
er, the class from Wingham took ex-
ceptionally high standing. This was
doubtless due to the thoroughness of
the work, under the leadership. of Mr,
J. A. Morton.
The congregation of Wingham Bap-
tist Church was much disappointed on
Sunday last on account of the unex-
pected absence of their pastor, Rev.
G, V. Collins, who bad been spending
Good Friday in Sarnia. When re-
turning to Wingham on Saturday, the
train was delayed by an accident,
after
Bins readied London
and Mr. Co e
the evening train for Wingham had
left. Anxious to reached -home for
the Special Easter services he walked
part of the way and reached Exeter,
and telephoned from there. The
roads were in such a state that neither
auto nor livery could be induced to
undertake the trip. A special service
for the children had been arranged,
and a baptismal service announced
for the evening. Mr. Collins felt the
keenly as his congre-
gation.
disappointed as n

PP y
gation. At the evening service, Mr.
Oosens presided ; Mrs, Hanna, read
an excellent Easter selection, and the
choir gave a service of song, so that
the evening was profitably Spent.
Patronize (tome Merchants.
When you send money to the city
departmental stores, you are Assist-
ing in building up those cities, to the
detrimeint of your own interests. The
value of property in a town increaser
in proportion to the business done in
the place, and every dollar withdrawn
from the circulation itt a community
detracts to that extent from the busi-
ness of that locality and consequently
depreciates the value of every foot of
property, not only in the town, but in
the neighboring district. The prospect
of a Blight saving in the eost of certain
atticles is the inducement that actu-
ates moat people whit send their or
dere to the 'city stores, Brit it is
doubtful if in the long run there is
any actual saving. The adeantage of
seeing an article, and being satisfied
before ,paying out the money for it
