The editor protested and threw the lye pot (kept for washing type) at the constable; the latter it is said re- taliated by shooting at the editor. All this was very foolish. If the constable wanted to put the news- paper out of business, he should have stopped his copy of the paper, and the editor should have entptied the ink - bottle in writing up the constable's record. * • -The people of California are cer- tainly progressive.

Messrs, ilarry Green and Roy Stackhouse, former !students of Wing - ham W, IL S., are attending Queen's University, Kingston, the former being registered in Arts and the latter In Medicine. The total attendance this term numbers one hundred and fifty-five. Form Four numbers twenty,one. We appreciate the Board's interest in our welfare, as evidenced by the generous equipment Which has been provided in the various depart- ments. The prizes won on Field _Day will be distributed at the next meeting of the Literary Society. Our best thanks are due to all who helped to make our Annual games a success and especially to our efficient Sec.-Treas., S. McKercher, and his genial assistant, P. McEwen. M. Herbert L. Troyer, Travelling Secretary of the Canada Colleges Mis- sion, visited the scheol recently and gave an earnest talk to us on the investment of money, time and life. We are delighted to report that Dr, A. J. Irwin has generously given an annual prize of $10 to be awarded to the Fourth Form student who makes the highest aggregate in either Pt. 1 or Pt. 2 of the Entrance to Faculty Examinations.

The schoolmates and friends of W. Linklater (who has been attending the 0. A. 0. at Guelph) surprised him at the home of his parents in Turn - berry recently, when about thirty- five young people assembled. The evening was spent in social conversa- tion, music, games, etc. The young ladies then served refreshments, and a number of Eadie's Choir who were present, sang a few selections, which were appreciated. The evening was most enjoyably spent. The Foundry. By -Lame Many property -owners have spoken favorably of this By-law and will support it, if the interests of the town are . properly safe -guarded in the agreement. The Finance and Execu- tive committees of the Council will meet this week and confer with the Board of Trade and the Foundry Man- agement on the agreement which it is expected will be submitted to the Council at an early date. We had intended writing this week .at some length on the By-law, but think it better to wait until the agreement itself is definitely before the Council, so that it tnay be clearly understood by the property -owners. In tbe meantime every person interested can be considering the question so far as ,,resented in the By-law itself. The Parish Club. The Parish Club has reorganized for the season with every prospect of being as great a success as last year, which was the banner year. Although the Club was a financial success yet on account of repairing the building, paying the taxes and running ex- penses, the officers were prevented from doing any extension work, be- cause of a debt which was incurred when the Club was first organized. Last year's officers decided to make an effort to pay off the debt and thus give the new officers a chance to make much needed improvements. A come- dy entitled "Finnegan's Fortune" will be staged on the 17011 of this month to raise funds to pay off the debt, and a bumper house is expected to hear this entertaining production put on by local talent. The citizens of Wing - ham are no doubt proud of the Club and it is questionable if there is anoth- er town in Canada that can boast of such a successful institution which provides for the physical, matte' and moral welfare Of its young men. We should therefore be glad to give the young men our sincere support both financially and morally, -Co. North Huron Telephone Co.

What about that postoffice clock, for which an amount was included in the parliamentary estimates two or three years ago. We are sure that the tower in our government building would look better with a clock in it, and our citizens would so appreciate It, that they would actually "look up to it" for all time to come. We have an idea that jatnes Bowman M.P. Will remind the Minister of Public Works, of the promise made long ago by his predecessor, and that the clock will yet decorate the tower, and set the the town' a standard time.

" Sorrow and bereavement came to a Turnberry home last week, caused by a sad accident in the West. A couple of months ago, George Alexander Marshall, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Marshall, Con. 10, went ou to work in the harvest Inge thering in Mani- toba. On November 31st he was work- ing at a threshing, and in some way (full particulars not to hand) he be- came entangled in the machine and was so badly mangled that he died; one report says that one of his legs was literally torn from hie body. The remains were brought home by his brother on Monday last, and interred in Wroxeter cemetery on Wednesday Deceased was well-known in this vicinity and leaves one son about four years of age now left an orphan, as the child's mother died a few years ago.

According to Prof. Hicks, a reac- tionary storm period falls on 5tb, 13th and 7th, coincident' with full moon on the Oth. This period will bring the regular swing of the barometer change to warmer, south winds, cloudiness and rain. Western sides of storm areas will bringrising barometer, snow and change to colder. A regular storm period extends from the. 9th to the 13th, being central on the llth. White this period will bring regular changes to storm conditions the indications are that disturbances will be normal and light. The regular change to cooler, clearing weather will follow. A reactionary storm period falling on the 16th, 17th and 18th, will britig recurrence of falling barometer, warmer weather, cloudi- ness and precipiation. Electrical storms will be natural on and about the 16th, This period 'will, be follow- ed by only moderate change to cooler, with bright autumnal weather, A regular storm period covers the 20th to 25th. The new Innen on the 20th will precipitate low barometer, change to Wander, cloudiness and rain, at the beginning of this period. Dnring Tuesday the 21st. to Friday the 24th, autumnal rains will pass eastvvardly ()ATOP the country, but the western flanks of storm areae will bring rising barometer, change to westerly winds, and very decided squalls of snow and eleet-all followed by an early blast of boreal weather Out of the northwest. A reactionary storm period is cettral on the 27th, 28th and 20th. This paled. comes under the influence of the Mercury extrinox and. will most probably bring storing of autumnal rain and wind, merging into sleet and snow, as storm Stoas advance from weat to east, There are no unusual reasons tb expect abnormal sterrns, and the /tenth of November promises to bring More than an average of fair and pleaeant weather. The preeipita- tion of tain and snow will be blew the average, generally. The atom perlode will, however, be distinctly marked by the regular changer!, with more or lees rain, sleet and mow.

The death a Mrs, W. 3, Johnston, sr., of Morris marks the departure of one, who from the earliest days of the settlement of the township, was pro- minent in its family and religious life. Mrs. Johnston was born in Amherst Island, near Kingston, in 1832; later the family removed to Bayfield. Her maiden name was Sarah Davidson, and on March 1st, 1851, she was united in marriage to the late Mr. Johnston. They at once removed to Morris (then known as "The Bush") and commenced the work of making a home for them- selves, and in 1904 celebrated their golden wedding. After many years of successful toil, Mr. Johnston passed away in 1906. Mrs. Johnston w*s a devoted christian woman, kindly in her disposition, always willing to go to the assistance of a neighbor in time of sicknees. In the early days, their home was the place where for years the settlers gathered for religious ser- vices, and the Methodist itinerant was always a welcome visitor. In later years, "Johnston's Methodist Church" Was built near their home, and members of this family were its strongest supporters and most faith- ful attendants. Mrs. Johnston's piety is evidenced in the impress it made upon her own family and the com- munity. She passed to her reward on Thursday, November 2, in her 80th year. She leaves six sons-Robt, of Saskatchewan, Hugh of Boissevain, Man., Richard, Edward, William, of the lst line, Morris, and Silas on the homestead. There are also two daughters, Mrs. Geo. Masters and Mrs. Jae. C. Peacock, both of Morris. The funeral topic place on Saturday, ser- vice being held in the church on the cornet of the farm where the deceased had resided for 57 years.

If we would win in the race here set before us, our better choice is to let go of those things that hinder -the love- less word, the thoughtless deed, the trivial thought, the thankless spirie ; satisfaction with material thinge, neglect of things spiritual.
