Milverton, Exeter and other brands of Flour SEEDS A SPECIALTY THE WINGELA ADVANCE Keeping Up Appearances. In Oanada'e history there have been no more heroic tignree than Sir Will. iatn MacKenzie and .Sir Donald Mann —if one believes the glowing eulogies pronounced by some of their support, era in parliament, For eighteen long years, with pick and shovel and water- ing can, have they toiled on the prai- ries s and labored bred in the mountains to provide their fellow -citizens with a transcontinental railway, and never a cent have these two patriots got Lo their lingers have bled and their brows have perspired, but never a syllable of complaint. For have they not been sustained in their altruism by repeat- ing one to the other their noble motto ; "For Canada." Yet there is a pathetic side to the picture. One cannot help thinking of conte briefless barrister going about in a frock coat that grows more shiny as the accompanying top bat grows more despondently .dull. Yet must the poor lawyer attend to his looks, He must be able to inspire"confidence should ever a client happen along: for who will entrust 'business to one whose whole appearance bespeaks fail- ure? Poverty is sad, but how much sadder is this shabby gentility? Mackenzie and Mann have kept up appearances. To do that for eighteen years without ever getting paid a nickel for their daily toil is a feat that deserves—and is receiving from many M. P.'s the highest praise. They have done it so well, The bankers of the world have been so impressed that Messrs. MacKenzie & Man have been able to issue upon the 0, N. R. system securities totalling over $300,000,000. The rulers of the people have been so impressed that they have presented to MacKenzie & Mann over thirty mil- lions in subsidies and as much more in land grants. But that is not all. By preserving at all costs an appear- ance of financial soundness, even of flushness, the two promoters have daz- zled Dominion and Provincial Govern- ments into guaranteeing their bonds— backing their notes, as it were—for $190,000,000 and are on the eve of daz- zling the Borden Administration into guaranteeing $45,000,000 more, After all, it is looks that count, if Sir William and Sir Donald had gone about as two seedy individuals, toil- ing day and night at the paltry salary of nothing a year, think you they would have got thisDominion tied up to their venture to the tune of $280,000,- 000 and have been able to dispose of $312,000,000 of securities ? They knew that they could not. They knew that the fate of the C. N. R, depended up- on parading as a pair of magnates, though such friends as admirers and as Hon. Arthur Meighen, Hon. W. T. White, Edmund Bristol, M, P., and so -forth might know they were in reality two incomeless philanthrop- ists. No matter the more impression- able members of Parliament almost burst into tears when little by little it is communicated to them the magni- tude of the sacrifices Sir Bill and Sir Dan have made to build Canada a rail- way. Surely it would be an ingrate country that would refuse the aid these two heroes need to complete their public service. Perieh such a thought 1 St. Paul's New Rector. Rev. E. G. Dymond, who for five and a half years was rector of Christ Church, Markdale, and St. Matthias Church, Berkeley, has been appointed by Bishop Williams to the rectorship of St:Paul's Church, Wingham. We glean from. the Markdale Standard that Mr. Dymond's incumbency there was a decided success and deep regret was felt at his removal. St. Paul's congregation here feel that they have a worthy successor to the excellent rectors with which they have been blessed in the past. Death of Mrs. John Parrot. There passed away at her home on the 9th line of Morris on Wednesday the 20th inet, Margaret Bailie, wife of John Parrot. Deceased received in- ternal injuries seven years ago from a fall, which impaired her health. She underwent an operation some two years ago in hope of complete restora- tion, without avail. Though not en- joying health for some time, she was only confined to bed six weeks. Mrs. Parrot was an industrious, Christian woman, beloved by a large circle of friends. She was born in West Wa- waposh in the vicinity of Dungannon, and was married to her bereft hos- band twenty-one years ago, She leaves a family of two daughters and one son to mourn her loss. The funer- al tools place on Friday to the Union cemetery, Blyth, )Wany of the citizens Of Wingham will remember Mrs. Parrot when she resided here and was housekeeper for Robert Mainprixe, after the decease of his wife who was a sister of Mre. Parrot's. Sympathy. is extended to the bereaved. TIMBER SALE.

Fire suppased to have originated with incendiaries, completely destroy. ed the huge frame building known as the Listowel Tannery at midnight Wednesday. The building, which has not been in use for some time, owing to the sewage problem and the scarci• ty of bark, was owned by Breithaufr Bros, of Berlin. Itis i thought that no insurance was carried. The blaze, which had gained eonsld-. arable headway before discovered, ate its way through the building at a rapid rate, defying all efforts of the, firemen to subdue it, The reflection could be seen for many miles, and hundreds of people assembled to wit - nessethe stern fight between twe en th a bri- gade and the flames, The building is an isolated one, so that there was little danger of other property being damaged. It was re e .ectad about thirty years ago, and, when in use was known as the Breit- hauft Leather Company premises.. ,•., 4 The Dominion Day Celebration. Preparations for the biggest day of sports that has been in Wingham's history are almost completed for Canada's Natal Day, July 1st. There will be nothing cheap about it as the committee who have the matter -in charge are sparing no ex- pense to get the best possible at- tractions. In a few days everything as regards program will be completed and posters will be issued. There are two things in reference to this celebration (which is intended to be an annual affair) to which the at- tention of our readers is directed, namely, the objects of the committee in charge and who have been appoint- ed from members of the band and different athletic organizations of the town. - The primary object is to have at least one real first-class day of sports in Wingham each year and the second object is to assist the band and the different athletic clubs in town. From last year the committee have a fair balance on hand and if the weather is favorable and a good at- tendance is the result this balance will be added to, thereby leaving a nest egg for next season and the remainder will be handed to the band and dif- ferent athletic clubs at the discretion of the committee. Let everybody pull for a good big day and we will have it sure. Fire In Restaurant.
