One train had Wingham for its destination, the other Goderich. It is estimated that 1,700 left Toronto on the Goderich train, and 1,400 on the Wingham train. As they neared their old homes, many of the excur- sionists dropped off at the intervening stations, so that when Wingham and Goderich were reached the numbers were largely ditninshed. Notwith- standing a hot and dusty ride, the ex- cursionists reached Wingham in good spirits, though over an hour late, and as the dinner .hour was past many sought refreshments at once, instead of going to the reception in the Town Hall. The Old Boys (and Girls too) were met at the station by the Town Council and the Citizens' Band. On arriving at the Town Hall, an address of welcome was read by Town Clerk Ferguson,tson, and d the visitors tors were welcomed also in brief addresses by Mayor Holmes, Reeve Irwin and Coun. Gordon. The President, J, R. Lyons, W. E. Groves, Dr. Stanbury, J. Mc- Kinnon, E. Floody, J. S. Timmins and others, all expressed themselves de- lighted at the progress of our town and the cordiality of the reception tendered them. In the afternoon, a programme of sports, that had been arranged for the visitors, was much enjoyed. The Baseball match between Winghatn and Kincardine was won by Wing - ham on a score of 14 to 2. There were also foot races and Highland piping and dancing, Conn. McDonald enter- taining them with the bagpipes. The prizes were :— Girls' race -1st, Fannie Holmes; 2nd, Olive Knox ; 3rd, Jennie Staple- ton. Bandsmen's race -1st, E. Flem- ing; 2nd, II. Trout; 3rd, Alex. Bird. Fat Men's race—lst, Dr. H. E. W. Tamlyn ; 2nd, R. F. White. Highland Dancing -1st, Flora and Mabel Mc- Donald ; 2nd, Verna McDonald ; 3rd, A. Ross. The visitors thoroughly enjoyed the day, and towards evening they found their way to scores of homes, Where their home -coming was welcomed by relatives and friends. The Old Boys will not soon forget the hearty reception tendered them by the Town and citizens of Wingham, and the outing of 1907 has been mark- ed down as one of the best. "The re- ception was never excelled ; the best we ever had," was the testimony of many. The excursion returned on Monday evening, arriving in Toronto shortly after midnight, Many of the excursionists visited the High School and Hospital. To some of them, the progress Wing - ham is making was astonishing. Cburcb 'Hews The Eureka Bible class in Wingham Methodist Church held their annual meeting on Thursday evening. The officers are :—President — Win. Fes - sant; Vice-Pres.—J. T. Davidson; Teacher—R. E. Saunders ; Secretary— S. A. Maguire ; Treasurer — M. Beck- with ; Organist—Miss Sperling. Rev. A. H. Renton of Toronto has been secured to assist in Evangelis- tic services in Wingham Methodist church, to commence about October 13th. Mr. Renton has been very' suc- cessful, and had just declined engage- ments in Paris, London, Dominion and Douglass churches of Montreal, Tilsonburg and other places. In the Baptist church next Sunday, Rev. H. Edgar Allen will conduct the services beth morning and evening. Morning subject—•"The Stewardship of Life,' Matthew 25:14-30, and' Luke 19 : 12-27. Evening subject — "The 7th Commandment, or The Social Sin," Exodus 20:18, and Matthew 5:27-23. Everybody welcome. All seats free. Rev. 3. Greene, who is taking Rev. W. G. s ' Ho sonwork w duringhis Is vacation, preached on Sunday morn- ing. His subject had a bearing on the Higher Christian life. Noticing Rev. N. S. Burwash in the congregation, Mr. Greene remarked that Mr. Bur- wash and himself began their work in the christian ministry forty-seven years ago that very day. In the even- ing, Mr. John Buchanan, of Toronto, occupied the pulpit, and gave a good address on "Fruit -bearing." The annual report for the Metho- dist Church on the Whitechurch cir- cuit has been circulated among the members. The membership sotfered severely in the past few years by re- movals, nevertheless, the report shows that those who remain are standing loyally by their church. Rev. Mr. Finlay is an energetic pas- tor, and does his duty faithfully, both in the pulpit and in pastoral work. Whitechurch raised for all purposes, $103.10; Bethel, $277.12, and Tifiln's $181.41 ; the totalr '. ailed for aril( poses on the circuit was $1182.80. The congregation arc pleased to have Mr. Finlay remain with them an- other year, Mrs. Finlay too is an earnest, faithful worker. They have entered their second year on the cir- cuit, with resolves to be true to the Master's cause, and are hopeful of sue - cess. May they have the earnest co- operation of all the membership.

Great preparations have been made for a grand home- going, and one week of solid enjoy- ment may be expected, Promises of a big gathering are in evidence as -many have signified their intention of being home for the fun. Musical Exam. Mr. Barron, Principal of London Conservatory of Music, was in town on Saturday, examining pupils of Miss Houghton at her studio, for the above Conservatory. After the examina- tion, Mr. Barron gave a piano recital of his own compositions, explaining the different touches and modes of ex- pression, which proved very beneficial to the pupils. Bring your produce to King's—Eggs 17c, Butter 19c.—Geo. E. King. Lucknow vs. Wingham. The Lakeside League Baseball match on Friday last, between Lucknow and Wingham, was rather one-sided to be interesting. Lucknow did not develop the increase of strength expected, and played a very tame game. In fact, Wingham walked right away from them to the tune of a score of 24 to 4. Batteries — Wingham, Dunlop and Britton ; Lucknow, Brislan and Mc: Coy. Umpire, R. Ross, Kincardine. The Glorious Twelfth.

The Senior Leaving and Matriculation exams. are now in progress. There are seven candidates for Junior Ma- triculation, eleven for Senior Leaving and one for Honor Scholarship. Business Change. The Ayton man, who arranged to purchase Leslie Constable's tonsorial business did not carry out his bargain. Mr. Hewar bought it, and took pos- session on Friday last. He will be pleased to have his north end custom- ers call on him in his new stand, next to Griffin's. grocery. The stand is a good one, the shop is fitted up nicely, and Mr. Hewar is very attentive and obliging, so that he should do well in his new location. Auction Sale. L. 3. Williams of con. 5, Morris, has sold his farm to Samuel McCurdy, who takes possession on the 15th Inst, The price paid for the farm was $5,000 and for the crop, $400, Mr. Williams has announced a clearing sale on July 15th (Monday next).

Greer, John Wells Still Lives. A few weeks ago, a report was cir- culated here that John 'Wells (former- ly of Lower Town) had fallen on a cir- cular saw and had been killed. The Advance is pleased to learn that the report has no foundation. His sister, Mrs. D. IV. Allenby, writes that no accident has occurred, and all are well. They report enjoying life in Florida, but still remember the old home. The Advance is as welcome a visitor in Florida as it is on the veldt of South Africa, or in the mis- sion field of the interior of China. East Huron's Member. The Daily Mail -Empire has this to say of East Huron's members in the Commons :—"Good candidates are be- ing named by the'ouservative con- vention, and Dr. Chisholm of East Huron, is one of the best. Dr. Chis- holm is a cultured gentleman, and a splendid member of Parliament. When he addresses the House he al- ways says something good, and what he says is well put and eloquently de- Iivered. Moreover, Dr. Chisholm is an earnest advocate of the interests of the farmers. He stands for all the facilities that can be afforded the agri- cultural community. Another term in the House of Commons will certain- ly be accorded this worthy public man." Public School Board. Wingham Public School Board met on Tuesday evening. The Principal's report for June showed the average attendance for the month to have been 315. The promotions at the end of the term were :—Part I to II -20 ; Part H to Jun. 1I-20 ; Jun. II to Sen. IT -25 ; Sen. II to Jun. 111-23; Jun. III to Sen. III -19 ; Sen. IIs to Jun. IV -33 ; total, 140. The fence at the School having been completed, pay- ment was authorized. Trustee Kerr reported repairs at the School in pro- gress. A set of new grates for boiler was ordered, and the Secretary in- structed to purchase new minute book and Principal's record book. Woos, WANTED.—Any quantity ; highest prices.—Geo. E. King. FA IM HELP.—Three vonn English- men are desirous of finding work on a farm. Apply to Rev. •T. S. Boyle, Wingham. Marked Improvement. Six new stores on Josephine street this summer will make a great im- provement in the appearance of our town, provided they all find tenants, and no doubt they will. Six new stores (probably a new Bank) and about twenty-five or thirty residences will make 1007 a record year for build- ing operations in Wingham. The brick -work on Hanna's store is coin- pleted, McKenzie's and Wilson's aro both well advanced ; all should be completed by the early fall months. The Canada Furniture Mfrs. are mak- inn considerable improvements also. The two boilers .ts m file3e 1 I 1 factory to y have been removed, and a large one installed, equal in steam -developing power to the two. A tall brick chim- ney has been erected eighty feet in height. him'. W. It. Green, who built the one in Lower Town, had charge of the erection of this also, Sanitary arrangements have been completed by the addition of closets, supplied with the Town water. Walker & Clegg find It necessary to enlarge their fac- tory ; ac -tory; this will mean business exten- sion anti employment to more men. Yes, Wingham is a prosperous, pro- gressive town, and 1007 wilt show Marked hnprouernent, Not The Right Way. Nasty Accident. Mr. R. ,1', Tindall and some friends had an experience recently in meeting and passing a large covered automo- bile from a distance, ace In meeting it they had considerable difficulty with their horses ; later on when the auto. passed them, the danger was repeated. To make matters worse, those in the auto„ when they saw the difficulty with the horses, never even stopped, but jeered and laughed, and waving their hands, passed on. There was nothing smart in such a trick as that; any guy could act in that way. The gentlemanly way would have been to have stopped until the horses attached to the buggies were secure, especially when one of the horses was driven by a lady. Wingham autotnobilists never act that way, but recognize the rights of others. China Wedding. On Saturday last, a happy company assembled at Conn. McDonald's to celebrate with him and his good lady, the twentieth th aanive a ary of their wedding day. On July 6th, I887, at St, Helens, Mr. David McDonald and Miss Annie Todd were united in the bonds of matrimony. Among the many guests who gathered to con- gratulate them on having safely pass- ed through the toils and cares of twenty years, were the following from a distance :—Mr. and Mrs. Crowe and daughter, of Toronto, Mrs. Hall, D1 Tans ley and Mrs. Tan.l oy of Newmarket, Mr. and Miss Misner of Windsor, Mr. and Mrs. Collins of Kincardine, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson of Sault Ste Marie. The afternoon and evening were enjoyably spent, the guests wish- ing Mr, and Mrs. McDonaId very many happy years together. Many handsome presents both appropriate and useful, were evidences of respect and esteem. The Advance hopes that many happy years are yet in store for Mr. and Mrs. McDonidd and their family. MONDAY Am•'TERNooN.—The Barbers of town have decided to close their shops on Monday afternoons until the end of September. Why Not Here ? In School Section No. 11, Artemesia (near Markdale) there was recently erected and unveiled a handsome monument to the pioneers who went into the bush, and blazed their path- ways from the older settlements. These noble men and women are near- ly all gone, and it was fitting that a beautiful monument should be reared to their memory. It should be done in every township. The editor of this paper is familiar with many of the names inscribed upon the momument referred to, and some of their children passed through classes under his care. Speaking of the Schools, however, re- minds us of the remarks of Chairman Boland, on Dominion Day, when the monument was unveiled. He said :— "This school has now been in exist- ence for fifty years. In that time, hundreds of pupils have passed through its doors into the outside world ; but of all those who have pass- ed, not one has been the cause of the expenditure of a single copper by those connected with the administra- tion of justice, because of crime com- mitted." This is surely a creditable record, and shows that S. S. No. 11, was settled by a band of God-fearing pioneers. The Home and the School were at work upon the young minds, it may be before the Church pushed its way into the new settlement. L. O. L. Attend Church. On Sunday evening, L. O. L. No. 704, and the Orange Young Britons, attended service in St. Paul's church. The brethren met in their Lodge room at 6.30, and, in company with repre- sentatives of Bluevale, Belgrave and Blyth lodges, marched to the church. Bro. Rev. T. S. Boyle chose as his text Romans 15 :4, "For whatsoever things were t v written aforetime, were written for our learning, that we through pa- tience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope." The Rector exten- ded a very kindly welcome to the brethren, and preached an appropriate and excellent sermon. The objects of the Orange Association were referred to, and emphasis was laid upon the qualifications, as set forth in the con- stitution. '.There was still a necessity for the existence of the Order. It ex- isted for the defence of the Truth, but no true Orangeman bore hatred or was capable of persecution. The Or- ange Order stood for liberty of con- science to all, of whatever faith, and was essentially a religious Order. There was a large attendance, one hundred brethren marching in the ranks, On returning tothe s, Lodge room, a cordial vote of thanks was tendered Rev. T. S. Boyle for his ex- cellent address, to the Churchwardens for the use of the church, to the Choir, and also to the visiting brethren for their attendance. Brief responses fol- lowed, and the brethren separated, to meet July 12th at 7,120 a. tn.

Hamilton received a heavy across blow his face with the handle of the windlass. The accident will lay him aside for a few days at least, Wingham Leads The League. Wingham Baseball team is right in for the Championship, and on Tues- day, again defeated Teeswater by a score of 5-1 in Teeswater. It was a fast game, and both batteries did good work, but once more Dunlop's pitch- ing for Wingham did it. McCaig for Teeswater was hard on Wiugham's left-hand batters, but the right hand hitters met his curves ; while all bat- ters were alike to Dunlop. The tac- tics of some of the players were ques- tionable, and the spectators showed their dislike of defeat. It was a good game to watch, and Umpire Ross of Kincardine, acted squarely.
