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?

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.

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.
