A Sudden Death.
With startling suddenness caste the
dean; of Mr. James Johnston, of Mild-
may, on Wednesday evening last, at
9 o'clock, Deceased had been in itis
nsual state of health until Wednesday
morning, when he took a sick spell,
but even this did not entirely incapaci-
tate him from attending to his duties.
In the evening, however, while eugag
ed in family worship, he suddenly fell
forward, anal expired almost immedi-
ately. Needless to say his death
leaves a vacancy in the town, and as
township clerk of Carrick, which will
be very difficult to f111, Mr. Johnston
was 64 years of age, and leaves a
widow and five sons.
Bereft Of Father.
Mrs. Fred. Johnston mourns the
death of iter father, Mr, John Weeks,
of the 2nd concession of Culross. Mr.
Wocks had been in failing health for
nearly eight months, and on Monday
last passed away. He had been a re-
spected resident of Culross for thirty-
five years or more, and had passed the
three score and ten range of human
life. He was a member of Belntore
Presbyterian Church, and in politics a
pronounced Liberal. Besides a widow,
he leaves two sons, who reside in Cul-
ross, and six daughters, Mrs. Johnston
of Wingham, Mrs. Gillather of Bel -
more, one in Toronto, one in Cleve-
land, and two at home. The funeral
takes place to -day (Thursday). It is
only a short time since Mrs, Johnston
was bereft of a sister.

S. 0. S. Excursion.
The excursion on Friday to Kincar-
dine, under the auspices of the Sons of
Scotland, was well patronized along
the line. Early in the day, rain was
threatened, but the weather proved
fair, and the gathering at the lakeside
was enjoyed. The Wingham Bowlers
played with Kincardine, winning by a
score of 16. The rinks were as fol-
Iows :—No. 1—H. O. Bell, F. Paterson,
3. H. Chisholm, A. M. Crawford -(skip)

(skip) -5 up. The afternoon of sports
was the chief attraction. Among
other games, Wingharn and Kincar-
dine Lacrosse teams played a League
match. The game was rather rough,
and ended in a victory for Wingham,
on a score of 2-0, It might have been
more, but the Wingham boys report
the game so rough that they ran risks
of getting their heads broken with
their opponents' sticks.
From New Ontario.
Mr. Thos. Black returned last week
from a trip to New Ontario, and
showed the Advance specimens of co-
balt, silver, gold and copper, with
which that region abounds. Mr. Black
went as far as New Liskeard, where
his son-in-law, E. Sackrider, resides.
The latter is well-known in the vicini-
ty of Belgrave, having been G. T. R.
agent there for some time. He has
taken up land, and has also done some
prospecting, and we understand that
he sold one claim he discovered for the
handsome sunt of $8,000, and is still
after more, Mr. Black says that,
though there is some good land, there
is very little attempt at farming, and
the people seem to prefer paying $18 a
ton for hay, brought in by rail, rather
than clear the land and raise it for
themselves. The railway is now open
sixty miles beyond New Liskeard, a
place that, a few years ago, was
thought away beyond the borders of
the business world. Mr. Black says
the mineral wealth of that district is
wonderful, and prospectors are busy
searching out claims. A fortunate
find puts money in a prospector's
pocket, but everybody does not be-
come wealthy. Of course there nee
privations and difficulties ; the mos-
quitoes and black flies and getting
aronnd in the heavy clay after a rain,
being among the drawbacks,

Managers Here,
There was a meeting in town on
Wednesday of the officials and factory
managers of the Canada Furniture
Mfrs. Ltd., when matters of interest to
the Company were discussed. There
were present—Sec'y-Treasurer Shaw
of Toronto, II. 0. Bell and Thos. Bell
of Wingham, Messrs. Schafer of Wa-
terloo, Lamont and Walsh of Berlin,
Rose of Guelph, McBetlt of Wood-
stock, and a number, of others whose
names we did not learn,
They Did Well.
The Brussels Post has this to say of
Wingham Football team:—'By com-
mand of the W. F. A. Executive, the
first game that was played in Brussels
against Wingham was ordered to be
played again, and Friday or Saturday
evening was the choice to play the
game. Wingham refused to come on
Saturday and so the match was called
for Friday evening, with Brown Jack-
son of Seaford* as referee. The Wing -
ham boys came down minus a player
and played the Brussels team 10 men
to 11, and certainly put up the best
defence that has ever been played on
Victoria Park. About 6.10 the rain
started and it came in torrents.during
the whole game. The Brussels team
started off strong and some good shots
were put on the visitors' goal. In a
scrimmage at the Brussels goal Aiken -
head shot and the ball hit the corner
goal and' went in, and that was the
end of the scoring. During the last
half Brussels put shot after shot on
the goal, but McArter was there to
stop the shots, ably assisted by Deans
and Mitchell. During the game two
footballs were bursted, owing to the
wet weather. The Wingham boys de-
serve credit, as they have won 2
games, tied 1 and lost 1; and play in
the semi-flnals next week against Mil-
verton. We wish the Wingham boys
success, as the boys who played on the
team Friday night here were a gen-
tlemanly lot."

Enthusiastic Westerner.
The Walkerton Telescope has this,
regarding a former resident of Wing-
harn :—Mr. Harry Day returned from
the West on Thursday, and is quite an
enthusiastic Westerner now. So far
as he can see, the country is going
right ahead the same as it has been
doing the last few years, and the bum-
per crop of last year will be repeated
again this year. There is no let-up to
the in -rush of immigrants, every train
being loaded down with them. As for
himself, Mr. Day made splendid pro-
gress with getting in his crop, He
landed at his ranch on the last day of
March. A few days were occupied in
getting things in shape to go to work,
but he had finished. seeding 870 acres
of wheat and 65 acres of oats by the
second day of May. When he left the
grain covered the ground so that he
could hardly see it. He sold nine
horses at a good profit, and intends to
take up another carload when he re-
turns early in Jnly.
