Wingham is especially interested in the proceed- ings this time, because the question of the establishment of a High School here conies up for discussion. A. depu- tation consisting of Dr. Irwin, Princi- pal Musgrove and Mayor Bell are in Godorich (as we write) to present to the County Council the claims of Wingham. They have a strong case and can point to the recent very fav- orable vote of Wingham property. r owners on the question. Eclipses For 1906. In 1906 there will be five eclipses, three of the sun and two of the moon. The one visible here will be a total eclipse of the moon, Feb. 0, visible to North and South America; a total eclipse of the moon, August 4 and 5, visible in part to central and western portions of North America, but not on the Atlantic coast ; a partial eclipse of the sun, Aug. 19 and 20, visible to the northwest corner of the United States, the western half of the Do- minion of Canada, Alaska, and the Arctic regions, but not so on the At- lantic coast. A Legal Distinction. Judge Mabee, of Osgoode Hall, has decided that legally a sow is not a hog. The Petrie Mfg. Co., of .Hamil- ton, got a judgment against J. Mc- Phail, to, farmer living near St. Thomas for $81, minus the usual farmer's ex- emptions, including a cow, six sheep, three hogs, etc., valued at $73, The company seized a sow valued at $24. Barrister J. M. Ferguson, acting for McPhail, asked Judge Mabee to ex- empt the sow, quoting legal authori- ties to prove that sow was the femi- nine of hog and that in a legal way a sow was a hog, but to no avail. The Judge upheld the contention, so the sow was returned to McPhail. A Sad Home -going. Mrs. John Radcliffe (formerly a Miss Webb) came from Brandon a short time ago, to visit her parental home at St. Helens. While enjoying her visit to the old home, she received word that her husband was i11, but it was not supposed to be dangerous. Mrs. Radcliffe thought it best to re- turn to Brandon, and she had only been gone a short time, when a tele- gram came to St. Helens conveying the sad news that Mr. Radcliffe had passed away. When his wife reached Brandon, she found the remains of her husband awaiting interment. His widow and seven fatherless child- ren will have the sincere sympathy of their St. Helens friends. We have some of those Men's and Boys' Overcoats left yet that we had on sale last week at $I.00, reg $5 to $8 coats, also big bargains in Ladies' and Misses' Coats, less than 50c on the' dollar.-Ritchie's old stand. A Prosperous Institution.

At the annual meeting of the hank the shareholders will be asked to give the directors power to increase the capital stock of the bank from $2,500,000 to $3,000,000, in order that the directors may be in a position to provide for the future growth of the bank's business. Wing- ham branch is well looked after by the cautious and efficient manager, 0. P. Smith, and a staff of obliging clerks. Importance Of Testing. Tho importance of knowing the value of a cow before buying or sell- ing was shown by an experiment cit- ed by Prof. Dean of the Ontario Agri- culture College, In Dee., 1005, two rows were bought, and in a test last- ing 10 days one gave 00 lbs. of butter and the other 44 lbs., or on one eow there was a profit of $11.75 during the period, and on the other $1.00 ; while the feed in both cases cost about $4. "The first is the kind of a eon' we want to buy," said the professor, "and if breeders do not avail thetilselves if the opportunity of getting their eo'ays tested and tlmus develop their Herd they cannot expect to raise the best class of stock or realize the best prices for it. We want our cows to pay, and it is tirnc we paid less at- tention to fancy points and more to production in the breeding of our dairy stock," Grand Lodge Meeting.. Tho Grand Orange Lodge of Ontario West will meet In animal session in (lodelich on March 13, and the town council has made a grant to their re- ception conamittee for their use. From 400 to 600 delegates will be in at- tendance for the whole week, The Local Markets.

They put up an en- tertaining programme every evening, and time Firemen feel grateful for the patronage of the townspeople. Wing - ham Firemen are ready, day or night, to hasten to protect property, and citi- zens appreciate their efforts. Pays To Advertise. A short time ago, a cow was adver- tised for sale in the Advance. The cow was sold the next day, and every day for tvvo weeks intending purchas- ers called to enquire where that cow for sale could be found, A shawl ad- vertised as lost was handed in the day after the paper was printed. The Ad- vance is read by hundreds of good - paying subscribers, a few not quite so prompt, and (we suspect) quite a num. her who borrow it from their neigh- bors. It is so easy to.slip into a neigh- bor's and say --"Have you got your paper this week"? Or, if it is lying at hand some will pick it np, saying - "There's something in it I want to see. I'll bring it back again." Jnst extend a cordial invitation to them to subscribe for it themselves.

A Record Winter. Toronto Observatory reports show that so far this winter has been the mildest since that of 1889-90, and so far as the absence of snow is concern- ed, there has not been its equal for twenty-five years.

The death of Miss May Field in Lon- don, on Wednesday of last week, was inexpressibly sad, and has left the re- latives sorrow -stricken. The whole community was startled, when the news arrived that May had taken her own life. Deceased was a bright young lady of 22 years, a sister of Messrs. Field, and Mrs. H. P. Hicks, of town, For some time past she had lived m London and resided with her sister, Mrs. McCracken. She had fin- ed her situations with credit, and had only been a few days in the (office of MoClary Mf'g. Co. She was in the habit of preparing her own breakfast in her room, and taking her noon-daytench lunch with her to the office, andhence, she was not missed until Thursday evening. When she did not arrive at the usual time, enquiry was trade, and as none of the board- ers had seen her that day, anxiety was caused. Her roomdoor was found locked, and on its being forced open, the young lady's lifeless body was found stretched upon the bed. A physician was summoned, and he decided that she Imaul been dead several flours. It was then ascertained, that the evening before, she had purchased eat'holic arid, and the empty bottle was found beside her bed. The sad news was telegraphed to her brothers in Wingham, and T. T. Field took the first train for London, The pity siciun and the coroner decided that neither post-mortem examination nor inquest was necessary, No motive can be as- signed for the rash act, that s0 quick- ly and sadly ended a bright young life. Miss Field Was a young lady of unblemished character, of a modest, ensitive and retiring disposition, with a, tendency to melancholy and distrust of her own ability. The remains were brought to Wingham on Saturday for nterment. Her brothers and sisters keenly feet the grief that has thus uddenly conte athwart their lives. They have the sincerest sympathy of E 1e community, but even that, fails to Ift the burden of so great a soln'ow.
