SUCCESSPL ANIV10ERSkAlly
The anniversary,, servicers of the
James St, Methodist Church' were
held on Sunday and were a splendid
success. In spite of the very incle-
ment weather large congregations
were present both; morning and ,ev-
ening. Rev., J. F. Raycraft, of Brant-
ford, was the preacher for the day
and 'he delivered two splendid dis-
courses, meesages that gave his hear.
ers food for reflection. The choir,
provided special music. at both ser-
vices. Owing to the absence of Mr.
R. Goulding who is recuperating
from a severe illness, Mr. Theodore"
Gray of London former leader of the
James St. Choir presided at the or-
gan very acceptably. Main St. Church
withdrew their evening service and
the congregation united with James

Raycraft took for his theme mess-

SUMMER' HOMES AT GRAND
BEND ' LOOTED BY THIEVES
About 20 cottages on the London
side of the summer resort at Grand
Bend have been entered, and hun-
dreds of dollars' worth of clothing,
bedding and foodstuffs stolen. Dis-
covery of the robbery was made by
a Londoner who carne to his cottage
for the week -end, and investigation
showed, that the theieving had been
general.- County Constable W. B.,
Oliver, assisted by Provincial Offi-
cer Albert Whitesides of Hensall; is
at work on the case, and some im-
portant clues have been unearthed.
Last fall some of the cottages were
entered and considerable property
removed, but not on the wholesale
extent of this year. At that time
Constable Oliver had, little : in the
clues, by persistent effort he
finally secured necessary evidence
to secure conviction of the thieves.
Londoners have great faith in his
ability to clear up the present, case
and some arrests are expected short
ly.-London Advertiser.
Mr. J. G. Jones, of town, : who
owns a cottage on the London side
at Grand Bend states that his' cot
age has not been entered. We have'.
also been in communication with
Grand Bend and find that- the re-'
port is greatly exaggerated.
