A thorough search of the district has failed to reveal any trace of the missing man and the river is now being dragged on the assum.ptien 'that he may have fallen or jumped. into the stream. Mr. .eiroungblut, a married man, aged 45, 'was last seen on Friday about an hour before the inquest opened :into -the death of H. A. Hill, who was Mlle ed as a result of being thrown from a "jigger" on the C. P. R. at Auburn about a week ago. He was on the "jigger" at the time of the accident 'which resulted in IVIr. Hill's death and had been subpoenaed as a witness. It was when he failed to appear when called to testify that Mr. Younghlut's absence wes first noted. Bert Mc- Donald, of Goderich, took a boat to Auburn by motor truck on Saturday in order that the river there may be dragged. There are many deep holes in the river close to Auburn and it is feared that the body may have be- come lodged in one of these. The search was continued to -day. McKILLOP, Wins Appeal Gash -Last Novem- ber, John F. Byerman, MeKillop, was convicted before Police Magistrate Reid on a charge laid by Andrew Porter, Inland Revenue officer at Goderich, for violation of the inland revenue act and was fined $200 and e51.40 costs. Three barrels of mash or mash suitable for the manufacture of spirits were found concealed in a wood pile at the back end of Byer - man's farm, where tele stuff was evi- dently placed to ferment. Byerman declared that it did net belong to him, that he did not know of its existence, nor did he know how it got there or to whom it belonged, that the barrels were never seen before by him "and that he had never had apy like them. It was Mee shown that 'the week be- fore the Mash was found Byerman allowed men, to whom he had sold wood to, go hack to the vicinity of the wood pile to gather up the wood they lead bought, and it was argued that this was not consistent with guilty knowledge on his part. He appealed from the conviction and the appeal was heard by His Honor Judge Lewis, of Goderich, who has handed out judgment quashing the conviction -with costs and ordering the repayment of the fine ane costs imposed by the magistrate. 0.......sogralessees.masuever...

A Former Residene Dies In Algoma. -Mr. Andrew Clark, who resided in this township upwards of fifty years ago, died last week at his late resi- dence at Iron Bridge, Algoma, at the age of seventy-four years. He was born in Hamilton Ont. in April 1850, of rugged Scotch parents. When quite young his family moved to Ful- lerton township, near Russeldale, Perth County, where they were among the honored pioneers of that township and he an,d his father and brothers were expert builders and stonecut- ters. On December 15th, 1870, he was united in marriage to Miss Jean Doig, eldest daughter of the late John Doig by the Rev. J. S. Eakin, of Kip - pen. Ti this union four children were born, two (it whom survive, viz.; Janet, (Mrs. Hubbel), of Superior, Wiscon- sin. and Barbara (Mrs. McGivern), of Iron Bridge, A;goma.

The names of those taking parts in the play were: Mr. Ted Price, M. W. J. Mills, 1VIr. Fred Mack, Mr. A. Washington, Mr. H. W. Maxwell, Bill%Lancaster, Mr. Lex. Wilson, Miss Olive Spearin, Miss Ida King, Miss Lilian Smith, miss Lena Hyde, and Mrs. D.

But we are informed it is hard to get prays without some such parts, but if in it it would be well to omit or substitute for sparklipg wa- ter, if only for example's sake, in this age . when so much is being done to blot out what has, we think, proved the greatest curse to humanity, and lots of good innocent wit, humor and fun in good plain parliamentary language, invariably fills the bill at any good play. However, as we have said, the play on the whole, was greatly enjoyed and the St. Marys players played their parts well and did not spare themselves to give free- ly of their talent, which was much appreciated ,by the large audience. The violin selections given by one of the party, was a splendid feature of the evening's entertainment, as well as the playing of the accompanist, a St Marys lady. • -V Exeter District W.M.S. Convention. -A very representative gathering attended the twenty-eighth annual convention held May 15th, 1924, in Hensall Methodist church. About 300 delegates registerd; Mrs. V. Mollard, District Superintendent presided. Al- ter the devotional services, conducted by Mrs. Kitely, splendid reports were given by all the Auxiliaries, Circles and Bands, showing not only an in -1 crease in funds, but also a growing Christian attitude towards missions. An impressive Memorial servite heas cenducted by Mrs; Hunter. She paid a loving tribute to thirteen deceased auxiliary members. Among the num- ber was Mrs. A. M. Wilson, so well known and deeply mourned through- out the district. has: V. Mollard, District Superintendent, in a learn capable manner, gave a survey of the work done in the district. She re- ported 24 Auxiliaries which raised $3,6731.59; 12 Circles, which rreeed $945.00, and 13 Bands, which raised $561.71. The total amount raised was $5,182.31, an increase of $163.26 over last year. She would have us to re- member that ours is, a spiritual or- ganization that hits for its object the financing of forces that make for the enlightenment, the education and the evangelizing of people in the thrall of heathenism. So it needs our prayers, it needs our study that we may work internee -AMY and it needs our money, because no -work of TO- formation can be Married on without money, Then since . "Jesus calls us" should come to the ihe.eting cheer- fully and prayerfully and let the light shine out of the wiedetes ut out souls to guide, bless and etreeigthen others, The Preservtation othan ars was • e Aireek by Mrs. McKay.

This •time his text was taken from the Book of Samuel, "Bripg me a Man that can play well," aild pointed out the psis- takes in Saurs life, impressing on the young people the necessity of avoid- ing the same mistakes in this modern age. Both, discourses were listened to with much appreciation and pro, fit by the large gathering, whose only regret was that the time passed so quickly.
