The men worked" on Mr. Wood until medical men arrived and he was remov- ed to Mr. Law's home and later taken to the hospital where he passed away about 10 o'clock'l p.m. There was a little delay in having Mr, Wood taken to the hospital aseDr. Kennedy was un- able to promptly secure an automobile or other proper conveyance. Wood was in a dying condition when taken from the water and there were slight hopes entertained for hie recovery. Mr. Wood had been a resident of Wingham for some months, hafting come here from England. He was of a bright and cheer- ful disposition and was highly esteemed by many friends. He left a position in England which he had held for twenty- seven years to come to Canada. The funeral took place Friday afternoon.

Public service was held in the Methodist Chureh, conductedby the deceased gentleman's pastor, Rev. J. W. Hibbert.

An important decision was given at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, last week by Mr. Justice Kelly. About a month ago High Constable Whitesides of Hensall sum- moned Mr. T. 14f. Hamilton. merchant of Staffa, before Geo. C. Petty, J.P., on the charge that he was committing a breach of the hawkers' and pediers' by-law of the county of Huron in selling from his wagon -on .the boundary road between the counties of Perth and Huron to residents of Huron. The magistrate convicted Mr. Hamilton and fined him $25 and costs. Mr. J. G. Stan - bury of Exeter,, who was defending, appealed to Toronto to have the convic- tion upset and the argument took place on Friday, September 19th, Mr. W. Proudfoot, K.C.,; taking the case for the county of Huron. Justice Kelly has given his deeisiorti quashing the convic- tion with costs against the county on the ground that 'the boundary road is not within the county of Huron. This is a l ecord, Surely. The schedule of convictions by magis- trates in Huron County for the quarter ending Aug., 31st, issued by Crown Attorney Seager ,under date of Sept. lith, shows but one ease tried --a breach Of the Lionise A¢t, in which Iitspector Torrance ryas tilt*,' prosecutor, end the fire imposed was ,$10 and costs, That's a pretty good sl:ilwing for so large a county as Huron To New Subscribers We will send the TIMES to new subscribers to any address in Canada to January 1st, 915, for One Dollar. This is an exceptionally good offer. If you are already a sub- scriber, send a copy of the paper to your absent son, daughter or friend. HARVEST AND ANNIVERSARY SERVICES AT ST. PAULS The annual Harvest Home services of St. Paul's congtegation were con- ducted in that church on Sunday last. The occasion also narked the forty- sixth anniversary of the planting of that communion in Wingham and the twentieth year of the opening of the present building. Twenty years ago when the new churcQhwas opened the sermons were preached by the Rev. R. McCosh of Chathany a former dearly loved rector. On the following Monday evening an organ recital was given in the church; the organ which had been installed being the first pipe organ in Wingham. On Sunday last the Rev. Dr. Boyle, Dean of Trinity College, Toronto, preached both morning and evening. In the morning Dr. Boyle based his remarks on the words of St. Paul, "Through a window in a basket I was let down through the wall," drawing from them the vast importance of the seemingly little things of life. In th evening he took as his text," "Your Stewardship," and endeavored to im- press upon -the congregation the thought that we, as stewards. mnst never for- get that while our goods increase we hold them only in trust from God and must render to Him on account of bow we have used them; tbat we should be unfeignedly thankful for our many blessings and live our lives with the thought that God is omnipresent and all -seeing. Dr. Boyle also made an appeal for men to enter the ministry, as the fields were white unto the har- vest and the laborers were few. The church was nicely decorated with grain, fruits and flowers. Special thanksgiving anthems were rendered by the choir at both services. In the evening Miss Alice Mann sang very sweetly "After the Harvest". Large congregations were present and many were glad of the o portunity of once again seeing and heiaring the Rev. Dr. Boyle, who was a former very popular rector of St, Pauls. The thank -offering during the day was 'very generous. Harvest. upper. On Monday evening from six to eight o'clock the annual $upper was served in the school room cif the church and was a great success. The weather was ideal and the at«endance very large. The tables were fiery pretty, being decorated with flowers, chiefly red Geraniums and Salvia, and candles. The supper was quite up to the. usual excellence for which St. Paul's is noted. A splendid programme was given in the Mills MemorialHall, consisting of address by the Revs. Perrie and Hib- bert and Capt. Milton and Lieut. Bolton, solos by Miss Griffis, hiss Alice Mann, Mrs. Willis and Mr:.A. H. Wilfrid, and a cornet solo by Mr. Fred Hinkley, Bandmaster. Miss;Griffin, Mrs. C. P. Smitn and Mr. W. H. Willis acted as accompanists, and Rev. E. H. Croly occupied the chair ,and expressed for himself and bis congregation the de p appreciation they ! felt for the la' „e attendance from the sister churches. Death of John McGlynn.

A neighbor, who was driving behind Mr. Hardie, noticed his condition and together they cine back to town where the injured man was attended to by Dr. Kennedy, whp found that the wound itself was note of a very serious nature, and unless 'complications set in there was no immediate danger. On Tuesday Mr. Hardie eras suffering e.on- siderable pain near h s shoulder and an unsuccessful attemp!i was made at the hospital to locate the bullet with the X-ray. Mr. Hardie is not feeling well at all, and it is to behoped that he will soon get over the effects of his trying experience. This is the second time in his life that Mr. Hardie has been shot, as he still carries in his body, a bullet he received forty years ago. Death of Mrs. Paul Powell, It would come as a very sad surprise to many people to hear of the death of the death of Mrs. Paul Powell of Turn - berry. Mrs. Powell was in town on Thursday last, and to all appearances was in good health, but that insidious disease, diabetes, had undermined her system and, becoming acute, she passed away on Monday evening to the life hereafter at her home on the seventh concession of Turnberry. Mrs. Powell was born on August 7th, 1861, on the old homestead near Blue - vale, being the daughter of the late Mr. Duncan King. She was married to Mr. Paul Powell on June 18th, 1884, and they took up their residence in Kinlough, Bruce Co;, where Mr. Pow- ell was engaged as school teacher; mov- ing from there to Ltcknow: thence to the fine farm in Turnberry where for the last twenty-three years they have continued to reside. Their family consists of two daugh- ters and one son: Miss May, a nurse in Philadelphia, and Miss Belle and Frank at home, and who, with their father, now mourn the loss of a devoted mother and wife. Her aged mother and four brothers, Thos. King , of Owen Sound, Robert of Goderich, John and Peter of Bluevale, and one sister, Mrs. George McDonald of Bluevale, survive her. To all these the sincerest sympathy of the community goes out in this dark hour of affliction. Mrs. Powell was an exceptionally fine woman, whom to know was to respect and admire.
