of Wingbain hockey team. At half
time, the score stood. 4-1 in favor of
Wingham, and as the game proceeded,
our boys added more to the score until
it stood 10-2 in their favor. „ The first
ten minutes was rough, but penalties
brought the players' to time, and the
rest of the game was good, fast play.
Mt. Forest was out -played from the
first, their star, Marlotte, being out-
classed by Smug Elliott on right wing,
while McLean on left had things easy
with Mannell. Fleming and Ted. El-
liott were at home in the combination.
Johnston played the best game of the
season, while Moore and Britton at
point.,and goal were always in front
of the net and saved many hard shots.
Britton is a great shot -stopper. For
Mt. Forest, Langdon was the best,
though Moncrieff put up a good game
and deserves credit for his play, The
others did well but met better players.

-Mr. Studholme, the only repre-

day for 3a hours, thus proving con-
clusively.that he is not afraid ofhard
work. At the same time, •he gave
those who listened for three hours and
a half, a taste of what real hard work
is. So much, indeed, that some of
them want no more, of that kind at
least as long as they live.

-Wingham is, we are pleased to
say, comparatively free from "fac-
tion," that so often prevents prosperi-
ty. We have known places, where
the population was so split up into
small factions, that no united effort
could be successfully made for the
town's advancement. Of business
rivalry on a square basis, no person
should complain, but the things that
destroy social, business and church
life are envy, jealousy, distrust and
hatred. These things should not find
a resting place in any citizen's life.
They eat as a canker into the joy of
social life and the success of business
relations. Even from a. monetary
point of view, they play a losing game
on the checker board of life. '

Correction Of Errors. •.
Will the nrcmhers and adherents of
the Baptist Church, and any others
who have received a copy of the Topic
Cards announcing the Sunday Ser-
vices, please notice that under the
heading of Church Officers on page
four, there are two mistakes which
need correction. The first is the
omission of the name of Mr. George
Pocock from the list of Deacons.
This error occurred through the
names being copied from the last
printed financial statement on which
only the names of the officers for 1900
appear. Mr. Pocock was elected at
the annual meeting in 1907, and is now
a Deacon. The second mistake is in
the name of the Bible Class Teacher.
It appears that a few weeks ago a
number of names were added to the
staff as substitute teachers to act in
the absence of the regular teachers.
Dr. Hibner was one who kindly con-
sented to act in this capacity, and was
so appointed. Mr. W. D. Pringle has
for sometime been the efficient and
popular regular teacher of this class,
and remains so yet. The mistake was
made by the pastor of the church,
who was not present at the time of
the appointment of Dr. "Ebner to the
list of stibstitute teachers, and who
misunderstood the information after-
wards given him.

LOCAL OPTION NOTES.

Committee.
The Indianapolis News says, "The
Atlanta jail has not a single prisoner,
for the first time in fifteen years. It
is traced to the prohibition law, which
went into effect Jan, 1." Vote for
Local Option.
The Los Angeles Express says that
the FIVE counties of West Virginia,
having the largest area under license
have 415 convicts between them in the
State Penitentiary, whereas the other
FIFTY counties have only 413 between
them. That is,the license counties
average 83 each, the others average a
little over 8 each. Vote for Local
Option.
In 1859, Fargo, Dakota, had a popu-
lation of 5,000, and 40 saloons. To -day
it has 17,000 people and no saloons.
Fargo business men do not want the
liquor shop to return. Their former
fear that prohibition would kill the
town, has been proved groundless.
The place has excellent hotel accom-
modation, but a new hotel is to be
erected at a cost of $150,000. All of
which shows that hotel -keeping fs a

Political economists divide the world
into two great classes -the produbers
and the non -producers.
The farmers, the manufacturers and
their employees largely comprise the
former, and all the rest of humanity
make up the latter.
The non -producers are divided again
into two classes -the useful and neces-
sary non -producers, and the useless
and unnecessary ones.
The one way by which it can be de-
termined to which Blass any given
business belongs, is the simple test,
"What is its effect upon the peace,
happiness and prosperity of the peo-
ple." Applying this test, we pass
favorably upon the minister, doctor,
lawyer, editor, teacher, hoose -wife,
storekeeper, etc„ etc.
How about the bar -room
Does It make a matt a better citizen?
Does it make him a better husband

Does the mereharit appreciate the

Is his standi.tg and credit better in

Do we like him better as aneighbor?
Does he snake a better employer or

- advanced programme is anticipated,
to which further radical changes may
be outlined, notably along the lines of
technical or industrial training, to
which the minister has been devoting
considerable attention. The legisla-
tion dealing with grants to urban pub -

A Narrow Escape.
The Seaforth Expositor reports the
narrow escape of Mr. Manners of
Wingharn at Clinton station last
week. Mr. Manners was on his way
to Seaforth to attend the curling bon -
spiel. He stayed on the Wingham
train chatting to a friend until the
train was in motion. When he went
to alight from the car, the steam from
the engine prevented his seeing some
trunks on the platform, and as he
stepped off he struck the trunks and
was knocked back. He lost his bal-
ance and fell back between the plat-
form and the moving train. With
considerable presence of mind Mr.
Manners remained perfectly still as
the train went past. Further than a
sore back, the result of being struck
by the step of the car, Mr. Manners
was uninjured, but it was a marvellous
escape, and those who witnessed the
accident expected that he would be
run over and killed,

William Armour Deceased.
Citizens of Wingham were sur-
prised on Wednesday morning to hear
that Mr. Wm. Armour had passed
away during the night. He had not
been in good health for some time, but
had continued attending to his busi-
ness, and on Monday was around
town as usual. On Monday evening,
however, he took worse, and Tuesday
found him very low, and about one
o'clock on Wednesday morning, he
passed away. Deceased was born in
East Wawanosh, and came to Wing -
ham about 28 years ago. He succeed-
ed in building up a large and success.,
ful egg and provision business. He
leaves an aged father, a widow, four
sons : William, Harvey, Elam and
Charles (all at home) and one daugh-
ter, Mrs. Frank Mitchell, of Wing -
ham. The deceased was a good man,
upright and honorable in his business
dealings, and enjoyed the respect of
the community. He was a man of
strong religious convictions, and took
but little interest in municipal or poli-
tical matters. He was 52 years of age.
The funeral will take place on Friday

X. M. C. A. Day.
Sunday last in Wingham churches
was devoted to the interests of the
the Young Men's Christian Asso-
ciation, and the congregations were
addressed by Mr. Cullens, Pro-
vincial Secretary, Mr. Wilson and Mr.
Stewart of London. In the morning,
Mr. Wilson spoke in the Methodist
Church, Mr, Stewart in the Baptist,
and Mr. Cullens in the Presbyterian.
In the evening, Mr. Wilson spoke in
St. Paul's, Mr. Cullens in the Metho-
dist and Mr. Stewart in the Presby-
terian Church. At 4 p.m., Mr. Cullens
addressed a meeting in the Town
Hall, The addresses dealt with the
principles and work of the Y. M. 0, A.
Mr. Cullens explained the details of
the County work now being develop-
ed. • The organization is doing a good
work, and being undenozninatiopal,
but rather interdenominational, is far
reaching in its results. It is generally
conceded to be a great power for good
in the cities, and the County work as
outlined by Mr. Cullens, cannot fail to
have a tendency to uplift and help
young men, physically, morally and
spiritually. It is sixty-four years
since the Y. M. 0. A. was commenced,
and during those years, it has been an
active agency for the welfare of young
men. The latest place of its work, the
County system, seeks to extend to the
country and smaller towns, some of
the benefits.
Engine Disabled ; Car Smashed.
Last week was rather quiet in town,
but on Saturday afternoon, the 0. P.
R. furnished a little excitement. As
the 1.17 p.m. train was pulling into
the station yard, a freight train was
taking the siding to leave the main
line clear. Unfortunately, the last
car, a steel coal car, had not got
entirely clear of the main line, when
the passenger engine reached the
switch. The result was, that the
engine caught the coal car crushing it
back against the platform, and finally
tearing the steel car off its trucks, and
throwing it on to the platform, which
broke down under the weight.
Had the car been carried a few feet
farther, there would have been a
wrecked railway station. The engine
was badly broken on the side that
came in contact with the steel car.
The piston box and steam chest were
broken, rods, pipes, etc., rendered use-
less, and the engine put out of busi-
ness, until it has visited the machine
shop. The freight engine was coupled
on to the passenger cars and conveyed
them to Teeswater. Fortunately, no
one was hurt, though Mr. A. Ross was
standing on the platform close by
where the car landed, Somebody evi-
dently made a mistake ; either the
freight delayed a little too long get-
ting on to the siding, or else the con-
ductor failed to hear the approach of
the passenger, It will cost many dol-
lars to repair the breakages.
The scarcity of money does not ap-
pear to make auction sales less succes-
fal. At a sale in Usborne township
last week, cows sold from $42 to $05,
and 2 -year old steers at $110 a pair.
