Farmers, Note This.
A mysterious disease broke out. in
the herd of cattle owned by Edward
and Geo. Tedford,*con. 13, Arran,
recently resulting in the death of 4
fine fat cattle. C. E. Mitchell, V. S.,
of Owen Sound diagnosed the trouble
as malignant catarrh. To make sure
he seat for Ww. Stubbs, Dominion
Veterinary, who came to the same
conclusion as the Owen Sound vet.
By the time a consultation had been
held 3 more cattle were dead. Both
of the vete say the disease is caused
by badly ventilated stables. The
disease is something like the foot
and mouth disease, and is infectious
but not contagious. There is a likeli-
hood of others in the herd succumbing
to it. The loss to the Tedfords is
already about $100.
Store Renovated.
The interior of the store in the
Beaver Block, occupied by Alex.
Ritchie, has undergone thorough
renovation during the past week.
Carpenters and painters have been
busy and the results are apparent.
Wide, up-to-date shelving has taken
the place of the old style ; the ceiling
and walls have been painted; a hand-
some table -counter with plate glass
top has been added to the furnishings.
For the past two days, the clerks have
been busy putting the stock into place,
and when the work is completed, the
store will be inviting in appearance
and'the stook attractive. The Ad-
vance hopes that the expenditure
will result in increased business. Mr.
Ritchie will be pleased to have the
public call on him and will no doubt
serve them faithfully.
Annual Supper.
The annual Supper of Wingham
Fire Brigade was held on Tuesday
evening. The members of the com-
pany and a number of invited guests
sat down to the oysters tastily served
by W. J. Scott. The editor of the
Advance acknowledges receipt of an
invitation, but on account of indis-
position was not able to be present.
After the supper had been enjoyed,
Chief Vannorman occupied the chair,
and took charge •of the program.
Bvief addresses were given by Mayor
Vanetone, Councillors Holmes, Bell
and Greer, Dr. T. Chisholm, and C. N.
Griffin. Music by the Glee Club, and
a song by G. 0. Hanna added interest
to the proceedings. The Fire Brigade
is an efficient organization, and should
receive encouragement and appreci-
ation from the citizens. The members
are ready and prompt to turn out day
or night in response to the fire alarm
to save property. The Advance
wishes the organization continued
succese,

Presenlation.
The citizens of Wingham never fail
• to properly appreciate an upright
business man and good citizen, and
learned with regret of Mr. A. Young
severing his connection with the busi-
ness interests of our town, On Tues-
day evening a number of his friends
met at Hotel Brunswick. Dr. T. Chis-
holm was called to the chair. After
opening remarks, Councillor Greer
read the following address :—
Roof Collapsed,
Mr. George Garton, residing near
Whitechurch, had the misfortune to
have the roof of his barn fall in with
the weight of anew and ice Wit week.
The walls were also forced out which

Canadians All.
The Bolton Enterprise bad an in-
teresting conversation with a gentle-
man from Duluth, Wis,, the other day
in which he stated that the Mayor of
Duluth, every councillor but ono, and
every member of the School Board,
Fire Brigade, and Police Force was
Canadian born.
Rented A Mill.
The following item from the Mild-
may Gazette refers to the Mr. Patter-
son, who was formerly miller at the
Wingham flour mills :—Messrs. J. I.
Patterson and Rich'd Berry have rent-
ed. a griet, mill in the village of Lotus,
Durham .county. and left on Monday
to take possession. The mill is run by
waterpower, and is situated in a fine
agricultural country, so these gentle-
men stand to make money. Mr. Pat-
terson has been head miller in the
2Etna, Roller Mills for about three
years, and is an expert mechanic."
Kept The Track.
A rather strange adventure with a
horse and cutter belonging to Chas. J.
Hinton' of East Wawanosh, happened
last Thursday. When at Wingham
Junction "Y," the cutter was upset,
throwing Mr, Rintoul's son out; the
lines breaking, the cutter righted,
the horse immediately took to the
railway track, running along it as far
as Bluevale, crossing railway bridges,
culverts, cattle guards, etc. When
caught at IT uevale, strange to say the
horse was uninjured, without even a
scratch, in fact, surprising the owner,
who followed on foot, expecting the
horse would be killed.
Known Here.
The following item from the Daily
Globe has reference to a young MRD,
well-known here, and formerly mail -
clerk on the G. T. R. We are inform-
ed that he studied medicine in spare
hours and in that way helped to pre-
pare himself for his choice of the pro-
fessions. The item is as follows—Dr.
Walter Crawford, formerly of Toron-
to, son of the late ex -Police Sergt.
Crawford has successfully passed his
examinations in London. England.
Dr. Crawford was married last week
in London. England, to Miss E. M.
Grimes, a poetess who has already
spent eight years in mission work.
After their marriage the young people
will leave to undertake medical mis-
sionary work in East Africa. The
doctor's brother Edward, is also en-
gaged in the same work.

Suit Dismissed.
Our readers will remember, that
some time ago, a number of farmers
in Huron county were surprised by
receiving notice of charges for ad ver•
tieing their farms for sale, by Daly,
publisher of the Canadian Farm Ad-
vertiser. Many refused to pay the
charges against the farms, and thus
the cases came into Court. One of the
suits was dismissed on appeal by the
Divisional Court at Osgoode Hall on
Thursday last. The case was Hisey
against Millman. The plaintiff
(Riley) was the assignee of J. J. Daly,
the publisher of the paper, where de-
fendant's farm had been advertised
for sale, The agreement regarding
the advertising was that $130 should

To The West.
On Saturday last, H, 0. Bell left
Wingharn, for his new home at Fort
Francis, where, in company with A,
H. Oarr (formerly of Wingham) and
others, he is interested in extensive
timber and manufacturing operations.
The abundance of timber in that vi-
cinity, and its contiguity to the rapid-
ly expanding West, offer inducements
to young men of capital and enter-
prise, that are not found in older
Ontario. Mr. Bell has grown dip with
the extensive furniture interests of
Wingham, and his experience and
general business ability will be of
great service in the foundation and
development of the new company's
operations. The Advance hopes to
hear of the success of the enterpris-
ing Winghamites now pushing busi-
ness at Fort Francis. Mrs. Bell will
remain for a time with her parents in
Clinton. Prior to Mr. Bell's departure
hie many friends presented him with
a gold watch, Dr. J. R. Macdonald,
who made the presentation, expressed
the regret felt at Mr. Bell's removal.
A pleasant evening was spent and
supper at the Xing Edward much en-
joyed. Winghamites will always be
pleased to hear of Mr. Bell's success.

Ooun. D. Bell has received word of
the death of his uncle, James Balfour,
who passed away at his residence, Hill
Farm, Amt., on February 2nd. Mr.
Balfour was one of the early settlers
of this vicinity, and it is said shot
wild ducks in the swamp that once
held sway where the handsome pre-
mises of the Bank of Hamilton now
stands. Deceased went to the west in
1880, and met with success.
Farm Wisdom.
A Canadian farmer who kept twen-
ty-four cows and two hired men tested
his cows with the Babcock test, and
found that eight were unprofitable.
He disposed of them and let one hired
man go, and at the end of the year
found that he had made as much
money from the sixteen as from the
twenty-four. Now he has got down
to twelve good cows, and expects as
much from them as he made from
twice that number. Now he can in-
crease up to his original number as
fast as he can find or grow good cows
and increase hie profits.
A Monster.
The Norwood Register says : The
big swamp elm tree on the farm of
Patrick Fallon has been cut down,
and two pieces of this King of the
woodland have been hauled to the
• railway station here for shipment to
St. Louis. Mo., as part of the Cana-
dian exhibit at the World's Fair. The
larger of the two pieces selected
measures 12 feet in length by 5 feet 2
inches across the top end, and 8 feet 8
inches from point to point at the
widest part of the butt end, The tree
measured about 50 feet from the
ground to the first limbs. It took the
greater part of two days to fell this
giant, and two good teams of horses
were required to deliver the log at the
railway station here,
