Th made their way back to a small clum of trees near a spring, where the were probably attracted by the sme which was very strong and they te us the flies swarmed by the hundee The outfit censistecl of a large sti and auxiliary with all necessary ap Pliances and a stock of about 300 ga ions of mash on hand. F'reiburge and Stafford Paisley, who were caugh at work in the still were both taken t Godeeich. This is the second offenc for Freiburger, but we unclerstan that he is now out on bail. Inland Revenue Officer Porter ord ,ered the destruction of the eight bar rels of mash and other appliances while the stove which had been spec ially made for the purpose, also th still, copper coil, etc., were taken t Goderich. On Friday evening, th outfit. was standing in front ,,of th Queens Hotel in Wingham, and on of the men who saw it reports that was a vile smelling- affair. The trial will take place in Gode- rich on Saturday. It is clairried that there are twelve parties implicated in the still, but to prove it the officers say will be a big undertaking. They have several nam- es on their books, and also know a good many of the regular custom'ers. The mash in process was sufficient to make $1000 worth of liquor when dis- tilled and another eight barrel§ Were found empty. - - The still was a substantial affair, the body being a water tank off a traction engine of about so gallon cap- acity. At the bottom a fire box had been built in and the coils were in the tank. Their method of brewing was to start up about five o'clock in the evening and keep the still busy all night. Their selling and shipments were made under cover of darkness, and many in the town and vicinity were suspicious al what was going on, but held their peace, khowing that sooner or later the parties operating the business would get caught. • Freiburger claimed he knew, nothing about the still, but as the outfit was confiscated on bis farm, he will be held liable. Still Is Seized A liquor still shipped from Chicago in bond and addressed to a man in Paisley was left uncalled for, and was seized on Saturday by the revenue officer. It is said a chafge will be laid. The still is being held' as pos- sible evidence. , Large Carp Fish Mr. A. Buttery showed us a beaut- iful large Carp which he caught in the Maitland on Wednesday morning. It tips the scales at mil. pounds, This is at least one of the fish stories which we must believe for Mr. Buttery has the goods with him. He also had three nice sized bass. Frost Due In Next Six Weeks There will be frost within six weeks, if an old saying among the farmers is true, that frost comes within six weeks of the time the katydids sing. Any number of katydids were to be heard on Saturday and their singing was loud and "clear. Many farmers believe this is an unmistakable sign of the approach of fall. Successful Garden Party The Garden Party held under the au:spices of Eadies' Presbyterian Church, at the home of Mr. W. j. Campbell, Turnberry, on Thursday ev- ening of last week -was undonbtedly one of the best of the season. Be- tween six and seven hundred people were adulated. to the grounds and the proceeds will amount to about one hundred and fifty dollars. An excellent program was given by the Wroxeter • Hawaiian Orchestra, Bluevale Presbyterian Choir, Mr. Her-. bert Jobb of Winghmu, and Mies Rena Deacon .s' 1d by Miss Bessie Abell, Wing -ham. Rev, Crawford Tate, pas - toe acted as chairman.. soth Anniversary Picnic Invitations are being wit out this week for a 5oth Anniversary Picnic of (Curries') S. S.

He was ably assisted in the decoration by his clerk, Miss Vina Smith. • A Twelve Inning Game Those who missed seeing the Gode- rich-Wingharn baseball game, Thurs- day afternoon, missed a treat: The 'Wingham boys would have won only for a couple of streaks of hard luck. The visitors got their first two runs in, the first innings before Winghanz was rightly aware that the game was going ahead. Morden and Arnott played a great game, in fact all of the boys did well. Wingham squeezed in two runs in the sixth innings nd the game stood 2 to 2 at the end of the -ninth. In the first of the twelfth, Goderich scored another run, thie e made excitement even mare intense. In the last of the twelfth with teem men out Arnott carne to bat and land.'. ed a safe hit followed by Farrar, -whet. also bit safe.
