waiting for his wife and children in

Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Robertson, Dia-

and severely injured Mr. Tervitt.
The motorist never . stopped but
played the cowardly part and stepped;
on the gas. The accident was doubt-
less quite unavoidable as it is possi-
ble that the driver's windshield was
covered with rain, but the least any
manly person could have done was to
have rendered assistance.
Mr. Tervitt was rendered uncon-
besides being badly bruised and cut
about the face and shoulders. The
buggy: was almost doubled ` up and
the horse bolted, catching the buggy
and harness' on an auto parked in
front of Mr. Walter's residence, the
impact tore(off a light and punctured
the radiator. The horse "'although
badly frightened was easily stopped
when it reached the Dominion Stores

fortunate at any time, but moreso
with a farmer at this busy season of
the year. George'.ss-many' friends trust
he will soon he able to be about again

Culross Child Is Dead
Wilma Huffman, the five year old.
Culross township child, who was sup-
posed to be bitten by a huge lizard,
while in the river about two weeks
ago is dead. Just why the Cargill
correspondent to the daily papers con-
tinues to give out this story to the
press is a connundrum. Relatives of
the little girl tell us that there is no
word of truth in, the story that she
-.vas 'bitten b . a.�. lizard.
y She hadthe
measles and went to the river much
too soon with the result that she has
been a very sick little girl for two
weeks and her little life ebbed out as
a result of after 'effects.
The only poisonous species of liz-
ard known is the helodernia, found
in Mexico, Arizona' and some sections
kof South America, It has never been
discovered in Canada,
Climbs Front Of Brunswick
A fairly large crowd gathered on
Josephine St., on Saturday night to
see Jerry Hudson, . the "human fly"
give an exhibition of . climbing. He
put several bills up in town on Fri-
day night and the news- spread fast
and people came to eown earlier than
usual to. see him.
Hudson prefaced his performance
'by a talk about his record as a climb-
er, an outstanding achievement being
the climbing of the Woolworth Build-
ing in New York city, a building ov-
er fifty stories high. Probably his
exhibition here in climbing the Brun-
swic_k Hotel was an easy task, but it
was quite thrilling to the spectators.
Before starting his performance a
collection was taken up in the crowd,
and when he was still on the roof he
offered to refund the money to any-
one 'who was dissatisfied' with his per-
formance --provided they would climb
to the roof to get it. None did. .
Bright Little Girl Dies
Sincere sympathy is extended to
Mr. and Mrs, Will Lott of Kincaid,
ask., whose little three year old
aughter, Gwenne Elizabeth, died in
W m
Inghaon Sunday, July 26th at the
hone of her grandparents, Mr. and
11rs, Levi Lott.
The parents and their little girl had
notored from their Western home
nd spent several weeks pleasantly at
he old home here, in fact they had
made preparations for a pleasant voy-
ge back, leaving the first of this
eek, On Saturday the little girl
vas seized with convulsions, and on
unday the little spark'of life fled,
ith startling stiddeness.
The funeral was held from the
one of the grandparents to the
Wingham Cemetery.
The parents and relatives have the
sympathy of a large circle of friends,
specially the parents on their sad
turn to the ",,Vest without their
right little darling, who so greatly
'dived the long trip to Ontario,
