important Notice.
The members of the Retail Mer-
chants' Association of the Wingham
Branch have decided for their own
protection, to tabulate and print lists
of what are commonly called "Bad
Pay," and they hereby give notice to
all to govern themselves accordingly.
When an acconnt is sent out and no
response is received, the name of the
b
will
delinquent a added to the list of
q
"Bad Pays" for the protection of
members of the Association. It
would be well, if all concerned would
take this hint, and pay up accounts
promptly when rendered.
The Rectory.
St. Paul's rectory has been under-
going a thorough renovating process.
Last fall, the roof was renewed, and
this spring the old fashioned bay win-
dows have been taken down and more
modern ones substituted. New heat-
ing apparatus, a bath, and other con-
venient/es are being added. The cost
of the improvements in all will run up
to nearly a thousand dollars, but will
make the building much more com-
fortable and convenient for the Rec-
tor, who will occupy it as soon as the
work is completed. A very fine build-
ing lot 00x132 feet, has been sold off
the east side of the property. C. G.
VanStone was the purchaser, at
$450. We are informed that he has
plans prepared for a fine residence on
this eligibly situated lot.
Former Resident Dead.
Word was received on Monday last,
of the death of Chas. F. /Kent, of
Douglas, Manitoba, youngest son of
the late Sextns Kent. Deceased was
51 years of age, and was formerly in
business in Wingham, and his aged
mother, Mrs. Kent, is still a resident
of our town. Deceased was twice
tarried. Miss Bertha Kent, of town,
is the only daughter, from the first
riiarriage. From the second union,
there remain one son, Se::tus, and one
daughter, Carlotta, both of Bertha,
Manitoba. His death took place on
Monday, 23rd inst., thus removing the
last of Mrs, Kent's family. In her
declining years however, she is com-
forted with the companionship of .her
granddaughter, Miss Bertha, whose
father's death this notice records.
Another Pioneer Gone.
On Wednesday of last week, an-
otherworthy
other of those stalwart,
Pio-
neers, to whom we owe so much, de-
parted this life, Mr. Thomas Powell.
Deceased was a native of Devonshire,
England, and came to Turnberry in
the early days of its settlement, pro-
bably in the early fifties. He took up
lot 13, con. 7, converted the wild
Woods into acleared farm and eom-
fortable home, and on the seine farm
breathed his last. Deceased was in-
dustrions and frugal, and contributed
his share to the development of the
township's prosperity. He enjoyed
the respect of the community and
reared a respected family of three
sons -Thos. K., James H., and Paul.
With the latter, cut the old homestead,
he made his home in his declining
years. Mr. Powell was in his 88th
year. He was an adherent of St. Paul's
Church, and an ardent Conservative.
The fancied took place on Saturday to
Winglntin eentetery. Mrs. Powell
predeceased hhn by nearly twenty
years.

Accident At Junction,
Mr. John Casemore of the Junction,
met with an accident hast Sunday
afternoon. He had been throwing
down some hay front the stable loft,
and was about descending, when he
missed his footing and full backwards
to the stable floor, a distance of nine
feet. He was considerably hart, and
required the attendance of a physi-
cian, Fortunately no bones were
broken, and we hope no internal in-
juries sustained.
Faithfulness Appreciated.
Mr. Graham, the Manager of Gunn's
(Limited) Warehouse in Wingham re-
ceived a letter from the firm hast week,
complimenting hint upon his success-
ful management of the business here
during the year that has just recently
closed. Notwithstanding the fact that
the very high price paid for eggs inade
the -season rather unfavorable for the
wholesalers, the Wingham end of
Gunn's business presented a favorable
showing. As a mark of appreciation
for faithful service, the firm wrote
thanking Mr. Graham for his careful
management, and informing him that
they bad passed to his credit $100, and
also added $100 to his salary for the
year just now beginning.
This is the season of listlessness,
headaches and spring disorders. Hol-
lister's Rocky Mountain. Tea is a sure

Saturday Evenings.
The Retail Merchants' Association
intend taking action with a view to
having all stores close on Saturday
evening at ten o'clock. This is an
effort in the right direction. It is as
well-known fact that many citizens
delay their shopping until a late hour
Saturday evening, and then expect
goods to be delivered. The result is
that merchants, clerks and delivery
boys are on the rack until midnight,
and some do not reach their bedside
until early -Sunday morning. This
can be, and should be, remedied. Af-
ter a whole week of toil, it is too bad
to keep > merchants and clerks on the
Amin until the lights go out at twelve
o'clock Saturday night. By all means
let the change be made. Citizens can
shop early if they try.
In Ottawa.
From the Ottawa Citizen, we learn
that last Sunday was the day set
apart for Educational work in Bell St.
Methodist Church, Ottawa. During
the evening, addresses were given by
Dr. Chisholm, M.P., and Mr. R. Blain,
M. P. Dr. Chisholm 'said that all had
talents which ought to be improved.
One hour each day devoted to a little
improvement would greatly aid all for
even a little education is profitable.
Dr. Livingstone used to have his
Latin grammar on the loom beside
hint in order to improve his spare
time. Three thousand words snake a
man proficient in any language and
would he worth $3,000 to any young
man. Instruction is a building up
process, but education is drawing out
of the mind. He also referred to the
progress in education and the good
education system. Dr. Chisholm also
spoke strongly against the use of to-
bacco and' cigarettes by boys and
young men. Mr. Blain spoke of the
importance of the Sunday School in
training young people to be of value
to the home and state, and also spoke
strongly against the use of tobacco
and cigarettes. He gave one instance
of a young man who had been secured
a position but who was refused it be-
cause the proprietor had seen him
stroking a cigarette. Both addresses
were appreciated by the congrega-
tion.

fords, on new lasts, with all -the late

Changes In License Bill.
During the progress of the new
Liquor Bill through the Legislature
several changes were made. The
three-fifths majority to carry local
option was however retained, but
where it has been carried by a bare
majority, it is open to repeal by a
majority. When carried, three years
must elapse before it can bo repealed.
The high license fees remain. The
law in regard to sale to hotel guests
on Sunday will be allowed to stand as
in the former act. The cancellation
of licenses section was inodifled. Can-
cellation will be the penalty for the
third offence within two years instead
of three years as it was in the original
draft of the bill. The offences are de-
fined to mean the more serious viola-
tions of the Act. The old law is al-
lowed to stand. in regard to hotels
within 300 yards of a fair ground. No
such licenses are to be granted. An
amendment was trade to the clause
respecting licensed bartenders in
Order, to allow a licensee in eases of
emergency to employ an unlicensed
person provided that he was not kept
working as bartender for longer than
two days. The penalty clauses, with
the exception of the penalties for sale
during unlawful hours, were struck
out of the present bill. Mr. Thum
that e
explained then would be a con-
solidation of the liquor law next ses-
sion, and the Whole matter of penal
Use would be taken up then.
WINGHAM,
At The Q. T. R.
The station yard is still receiving
gravel by the train load, and the yards
when completed will not be excelled
in any town the size of Wingham.
On each side of the walk from the
station to the street, the plots have
been levelled and will be neatly sod -
deft. The oil tank tvil1 also be moved,
and soon, the station, its arrange-
ments and surroundings, will be
among the very best on• the branch
lines. The whole yard from one end
to the other has been entirely changed
and is so unlike what it was a year
ago, that it would scarcely be recog-
nized by a casual visitor as the same
place.
ONT., THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1906.
—No Block There.
.After pulling down the ruins on the
burnt corner, and making prepara-
tions for building a three-story block
on the corner of Josephine and Patrick
streets, W. H, Green has been induced
to dispose of the lot to Mr, R. Clegg,
whose residential property adjoins it
on the east. Mr. Green had begun the
excavation of the cellar for the new
block when the change took place.
If we are correctly informed, the price
was several intndred dollars in ad-
vance of that paid by Mr. Green for
the property a few weeks ago. We
'understand that Mr, Clegg will set in
operation forces that will make the
corner present a very different ap-
pearance ere the season closes.
A New Choir.
The Choir of the Methodist Church
took a rest last Sunday, and its place
was filled by Mr. Morton's singing
class of over thirty voices. Tho sing-
ers certainly did well, and Miss Olive
Mason acquitted herself very credita-
bly, for her first Sunday at tate pipe
organ. The complaint has s b en inthe
e
past, that there have been very few
singers in the congregation, but Mr.
Morton's singing class in connection
with the Ohm•eh, is developing quite a
number. Mr. Morton is doing a cont -
mendable work along the line of the
Church music, that means a vast
amount of work, and his efforts
should be appreciated, as they doubt-
less are.
A Horse Killed.
People cannot be too careful about
driving rapidly around corners, The
cement crossings furnish no hold for
a horse's shoes, and if driven vapidly
around a corner, the horse is very apt
to slip and fall. We have seen several
cases recently, and another case hap-
pened on 'Tuesday, when a horse be-
longing to Mr. R. J. Breen of Turn -
berry, and driven by his son, fell ou
the crossing near Hamilton's drug
store. It was evident that the. animal
was injured for it could not rise with-
out as,eistance, and when taken to the
veterinary's, it was discovered that
its thigh
was broken. It was also in-
juredjurel
internally, and died in a short
time rafter the accident. It is a heavy
loss to Mr. Breen, especially at this
time of the year. Only this week he
was offered $100 for the animal. We
do not think the boy was to blame;
if he was driving quickly it was due
to the fact that he had been sent after
Dr. Recltnond for a sick relative.
Fon. WOMEN.—Our dainty and sty-
lish Shoes, Oxford and Sandals win
the admiration of every lady who
looks at them. All sizes and widths,

Respected Resident Gone.
Just after we had closed our forms
for last week's issue, Mr. Duncan Mc-
Gregor passed over the river of death,
after an illness of several mouths.
For the last few weeks he had been
confined to his bed and it was evident
the end was approaching. Deceased
ws horn in Glasgow, Scotland, in
1848, but came with his parents to
this vicinity when quite young. He
chose the trilling business, and having
learned his trade in Winghaui mills,
he engaged in business in Hensall, and
hater in Ripley, and later still in
Wingham. He enjoyed the respect of
his fellow citizens, and was a member
of the Presbyterian Church. In
political matters, he adhered to the
ILibetal patty. Besides his wife, he
leaves three sons and one daughter.
The sans are John and Charles, of
Chatham, W. J., editor of the Thames -
ford Star; the only daughter is still at
home. Service was conducted at the
home on Thursday evening by Rev.
D. Perrie, and interment took place in
Rogerville cemetery, near Hensall.
A. beautiful bank of flowers rested on
the casket, bearing the word "Fath-
er." Service was conducted at the
grave by Rev. Mr. Smith. A large
number of former friends of the fanci-
ly from Hensall followed the remains
from the station to the cemetery.
Canada's Progress.
Hon. Rudolphe Lemieux, Solicitor -
General in the Laurier Cabinet, at a
recent banquet gave an address, fall
of patriotic sentiments, and deprecat-
ing anything like rare strife. Among
other things, he said :--
"Am I too optimistic when I say
that this century will decidedly
be ours, that Canada will, in years
to conte, indeed in years not far
distant, lead the world in the van
of progress? Behold and see what
are otte possibilities as a nation
and what immense strides we
have made during the last few
yeatrs. Canada contains ate -third
of the area of the British empire,
Tier coast line equals half the eir-
eurnferenee of the earth, Site is
larger in area than the United
States and as large as thirty Unit-
ed Kingdoms. Canada began the
twentieth century with the sauna
population as the United States
began the nineteenth, and we are
adding to our population every
year in number equal to Toronto s
population. Canada's s total volnnie
of trade is now in round figures
four hundred and sixty-five mil-
lions
il
lions; it has more than doubled in
ten years. 'We have the largest
wheat fields in the world, one
hundred and seventy-one million
acres in extent, less than five mil-
lions
ililotrs under cultivation, or threet t
per cent. It is estimated, that in
ten years from now, ten million
steres Would be under Wheat, yield-
ing two hundred mullion bushels."'
Opened For Business.
Tho Canadian Bank of Cotntnerce
has opened its branch in Winghanl,
makingthe
third. chartered Bunk in
our town. For the present, the busi-
ness will be transacted in the building
formerly occupied as A. E. Smith's
private Bank. The office hats been re-
fitted, though at time of writing, all
the work is not completed. The staff
consists of Mr. A. E. Smith, Manager;
Mr. Hilburn, Accountant ; Mr. 'Wedel,
Teller ; Harry Green, junior clerk.
We understand that it is the inten-
tion of the Bank to build a fine office
building in Wingham, as soon as a
suitable site can be secured. The
Bank's adv't. will appear in our
columns in due time. 11r. Smith's
long experience in the business, and
thorough knowledge of the surround-
ings will be of great value in the local
business of the Canadian Bank of
Commerce.

Fire In Morris.
Mr. Jas. Cruikshank of the nest line
of Morris met with a serious loss on
Thursday Last, in having his residence
destroyed by fire. The fire is suppos-
ed to have originated from the chim-
ney, and must have been smouldering
for some tante, as there had been no
fire down -stairs after the noon hour,
and the roof was discovered to be in a
blaze about five o'clock. Mr. Cruik-
shank had been putting in a new floor
in spine part of the house, and hear-
ing some noise went up -stairs, and
found the place in a blaze. None of
the household goods up -stairs were
saved, and the house was totality de-
stroyed. The loss is a serious one,
especially as building material has ad-
vanced in price to such an extent, as
to make rebuilding a very expensive
undertaking. The loss is all the more
trying, coming just on the opening of
the seeding season.
High School Site.
The High School Board viewed the
proposed site on Wednesday morning
and decided on the land to be pin.
chased. The site will consist of six
lots on the east side of Carling Terrace
and a portion of Mr. Armour's farm
property to the rear of some of these
lots. This will give a site of two acres
or more, and it will certainly be a
most desirable situation, as well as
sufficiently largo for play -grounds, etc..
The specifications are being prepared,
and it is now a certainty that Wing -
ham will have one of the best five -
roomed High School buildings in the
province. Iliglr School masters, who
have examined the plans, claim that
they are perfect, and can suggest no
improvement. The building will be
three storeys in height, the third
storey being planned for a large As-
sembly room, in which gatherings of
the students may be bell on opening
or closing days, or for entertainment
purposes. The indieations are that
the Boarcl intends to make Wingham
High School an attractive educational
centre.
The San Francisco Horror.
Seldom has any city suffered so sud-
den and disastrous destruction as the
city of San Francisco. The earth-
quake followed by fire resulted in the
destruction of three-fourths of the
city, the death of hundreds of the in-
habitants, and the rendering of over
200 thousand people homeless. San
Francisco was the sixth city of the
United States in population. It claim-
ed over 500,000 people. Big public im-
provements were planned recently..
By a two-thirds vote, the people ap-
proved the issuance of bonds for $17,-
000,000 for parks and playgrounds,
school houses, a drainage system, a
library and a hospital. San Francisco
had many parks but most of them
were small. The pride of the city was
the Golden Gate Park, comprising
1,013 neves, and stretching from the
city to the sea. The assessment mall
of city property amounted to $521,-
1100,000, and the tax rate for city,
county, and State purposes was aabnttt
$1.00 on every $100. Property Was
assessed at about 75 per cent. of its
market value. So that the value of
property would be about $050,000,000.

trophe will be fonud on page 7.
