OFF Heaman's Hardware and Paint Store r, The memory of the holiday season at Grand Bend, has again been sad- dened by 'the drowning of another young man, Norman • Elliott, of 'St. Marys. Scarcely a camping season passes at this resort, that there is not'some one ushered into eternity in a similar way. Should these sad events not serve as warnings ,to fre- quenters of summer resorts and stay those who will persist in taking their lives in their own hands, when dan- ger lurks in their path. The blow to the parents•of this •young.moan -is indeed sad, and It will be hard for them to realize for many a day to come, that the young man, who was so full of life, has disappeared for- ever from their midst, When death comes fn this way, in the midst of holiday -making, the shock is always the more severe, and its grimness all the more terrible. The. contrast throws out its black colors, :in Horrid relief. On all sides the keenest,sym- pathy will be felt for the bereaved, and it may be that the knowledge, that they do not mourn alone, will bring them, sotne pale, glimmering comfort.

HURON IFTISSION BANDS AT RALLY ICIPPEN, .July 10: Representatives of the. Presbyterian Mission 13ands in Huron Presbyterial, 150 strong, gathered recently for a grand rally, at the Presbyterian church, Rippen. Delegates were present from Goder- ich, Blyth, Clinton, Seaforth, Eg- mondville, Brucefield, 'Hensel],_ Ex- eter,' Kirkton, Thanes Rd., Hills Green,. Blake and Iiippen. Youth held "the floor during the rally. mouthful members of Blyth and Kirkton bands conducted devo- tionalexercises, a member from each band leading in public prayers. Boys and girls told of interesting things happening in their own bands and girls from Kippen, Hillsgreen and Blake bands spoke graceful• words of welcome, responded to by a member of Clinton band, and the missionary speaker of the day,' was. a young girl. No more suitable speaker for a mission handrally, could have been chosen, than Miss Bm•ydon, of Houma, China, who - is home on her first furlough. , Her story of China, its people and cus- toms was most interesting. A picnic meal on the lawn, an hour of games and a brief devotion- al period • brought the .members of tiro Presbyterial bands together as a unit in the missionary cause. The next annual rally will be held in First church, Seaforth. BAD ACCIDENT Mr. Fred Ellerington met with a painful accident at his farm in ,Us - borne on Thursday afternoon last.. He was assisting in tearing down an old barn and while attempting to loosen a beam with a crowbar a raft- er from above became loose id tall g` in struck him on theh• cad. He fell sixteen feet was rendered unconsc- ious, and sustained 4'a severe and painful scalp wound. He was im- mediately rushed to Dr. Hyndman's hospital and when part way out, re-, gained consciousness. It .required six stitches to close the wound, and. While able to be around a little, he is very sore and gives evidence of a ra- ther'bad shaking up. DOG NUISANCE To thei Ed for of the Times:- I have been creditably informed that our town` fathers, some time. ago, passed a by-law that , n o town dogs should. be allowed' to run at large. There is every indicatin of this by-law being entirely ignored and not the slightest observance 'has R 1 been taken of it so far as I can see. If by-laws are to be made and broken at will, what is the use of making such by-laws, with 'apparently not the least effort to enforce them. Now, I think it about time that some action should be taken. All kinds of hounds, Airedales various other large sized dogs that are running at large do a lot of damage to gardens, and flowers as well as being a nuis- ance in manyother ways. Is it not up to the authorities to enforce the laws? A Citizen. BE.E1t l B iJl I7LU LN 5:4.1 ). GItANI) BIND Investigating a c]zunkee brativl, reported here recently officers Pel - low and Whiteside' disco vet ed one dozen bottles of whisky and thirty five dozen bottles of 9 per Cent• beer buried in the sand. Charges, involv- ing the ownership .of the cache have been laid. SOFT BAIL , r = 3 A game of soft ball was played on the school grounds here on Tuesday evening between Caven, Pres: girls and Tri ' vitt ]VIem. girls. The game was not strictly exhibition ball, but Caven vanquished their opponents in a fair game, it being won on er- rors and overthrows. The score stood 20-6. Soft Ball Th second s d 1 i za f got awayto a flying start on Monday night, when Caven took the measure of James St. in a good clean game by a score or 3 to 3. Goldie had his team work- ing wonderfully well and are sure to make a strong bid for the honors in this second half. Centralia has tak- en James St. 13 team's place and they are the dark horse till we see them go. Each team has improved so much that this second half will be a great old struggle and the fans want to get to every game, for each - one will be real. Girls James St. girls put one over on Main St. girls last Friday. night, 18 to 10, and by this win, put them in the lead. The girls on - all :the teams are getting better each time out and are playing a good game. Schede e For Second Half (Co1Iie on let's go.)

The two young men on Sun- day, had agreed to go in bathing in. company with some friends. Mr. .El- liott 'was .wading about 80 feet from shore, when a big.wave suddenly struck him and swept him at his feet, and it is thought the undertow caught him and carried • hirer into deeper water. A lady : among the bathers raised the alarm, but those who heard her shouting thought she wanted assistance and by the time. it was made known to the would-be rescuer, Elliott was oat of Sight and was never more seen It is reported that two others were caught inthe undertow, which was particularly bad that day, but .keg managed to get ashore. oe� Mr. Elliott is survived by his' fa- ther and mother and one sisfer. tfe had taken an active part in. the young people's work in eonrrectior, with.
