MARK EVERY GRAVE "And they say unto her, 'Woman why weepest thou?" She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid Him." -John 20:13. "That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, 'What mean ye by these stones? Then ye shalt answer them, These stones shall be a memorial unto the chil- dren of Israel forever."—Joshua 4: Just as Joshua commanded the twelve men, one from each tribe of Israel, to take from the bed of the river Jordon, where the feet of the Priests stood firm, each man a stone and with these stones build a monu- ment to commemorate the passing over Jordon, So, as our loved ones pass from, our immediate presence over the Jordon of deatli; we should select the most perfect, the most beautiful and most lasting stone for the monuments we erect to commem- orate their beautiful virtues and ac-g ecompiishtnents. . Let us show you designs and quote, prices, Our years of experience will be of assistance to you. ONUMENTAL WORKS R. A. Spotton. Wingham Lucknow. Mrs. A. Harris, - Mr. an ld Mrs. D.

WINGHAM, ONT,, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13th, 1928 HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY HOLDS VERY SUCCESSFUL 'FALL FLOWER SHOW Wingham Horticultural Society, which now has a membership of over 400, demonstrated the effectiveness of its work once more at, the annual flo- wer show on Friday last in the coun- cil chamber. Interest however in this affair was not confined alone to the members, a splendid turnout of citi- zens appreciating, and enjoying the exhibits, during the afternoon and ev- ening, . In all there were 187 entries; some of which were of exceptional merit. It might be' permissable to' specially, mention some dahlias exhib ited by Dr; Irwin, that measured fully 6 inches in diameter; ay gladiolus spike exhibited by Mrs. S. Young; and the display of Cosmos. To the late date, of the exhibition may be attributed a slight falling off in entries, for the peculiar season with its abundance of moisture, hurried on the blooms, and in many 'insta'nces regular exhibitors had nothing left in their gardens to exhibit. Mayor Fells opened the show in an appropriate address after the Judges,' William Hartry of Seaforth and J. M. Graham of Wingham, had finished their work, During the afternoon and evening refreshments were sold, and 1 in the evening title High School Girls' Orchestra rendered 'a pleasing pro- I gramme.

A NEAR MOTOR TRAGEDY Returning from a honeymoon trip to Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Schuett, of Cargill, met with a nasty accident on Josephine Street, just opposite H. B. Elliott's Strife, on Friday morning. Driving up the street at a moderate rate, their car, a light Chevrolet sedan, hit a Buick, owned by John. Shields and son,Wa- wanosh, the resulting crash and wet pavement, causing the Chevrolet to swing around at right angles and turn over on its side. The Shields' car was parked on the side of the street at the time, possibly not right close to the curb, and when the •approach'- ing car came close, a screeching of brakes caused many to run out and seethe car swing aroundand topple over. Neither Mr. or Mrs. Schuett were' injured, nor an uncle and elderly lady with them, but all were shaken up and in a highly nervous condition, as they were lifted out of the ear by a pair of strong • arms: The Buick was driven . up over the curb and re- quired a new wheel, a fender and other minor repairs, - while the Chevrolet has to get new fenders and the. steer- ing apparatus teer-ing.apparatus renewed, but strange to say, no glass was' broken.

SEPARATOR The barns of John McDonald, con- cession 16, Grey township, were com- pletely destroyed by fire at 10.30 Fri- day morning when sparks from 'the threshing machine of W. J. Shortreeld, ignited the roof of the henhouse. The separator was also destroyed, James Shortreed, son of the threshing own- er, being severely burned about the arms and neck when he endeavored to hitch a chain to the separator and run it from the barn. The blaze spread with such rapidity that nothing was saved from the barn. The entire season's crop was lost, as well as a number of pigs. The loss to both. Mr. McDonald and Mr. Shortreed will be heavy. The lat- ter collapsed from .overexertion and excitement. REV. DR. KANNAWIN 1N ST. 'ANDREWS ON SUNDAY Rev.

An aeroplane, piloted by a couple of young men from' Belleville, arrived in town on Tuesday, making a landing on Mr. Hutton's farm on the Bel - grave road. That afternoon and yes- terday they took a number of passen- gers up at so much per flight,"and were kept busy all the time.

LET PRUDENCE GOVERN A short time ago papers were filled with evidence in a court case over the Brooks Steam Car Co. and a HamiI- ton' Radiator Company,. when high pressure salesmen induced people to. exchange thoroughly good securities for stock in these companies, which proved worthless. It was a clear case of exchanging a sure dividend paying security for a speculative proprosition, resulting in hundreds of people losing a life's savings. To -day, in Canada's business activity and expansion there are hundreds of propositions of a pur- ely speculative nature being promot- ed, which may or may not develop in- to a dividend paying business. Do not be too ready to exchange your hard earned, . dividend -paying debentures and investments, for these speculat- ive propositions unless you are able to stand the entire loss. If you have the money and desire to take a "flier" or a speculative proposition, all right, but otherwise consult your banker or a solicitor first.
