WINGHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1906. $1.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE TWO VOUNG MEN DROWNED, Sad indeed was the calamity that calve to Wingham on Sunday after- noon last It t . came so unexpectedly, that citizens were startled and shock- ed with its awful suddenness, On the afternoon referred to, the intense heat and oppressive atmos - there induced iuced number of young men and boys to go down to the Maitland's banks, that there they might enjoy a cooling plunge. Among them were the two whose sad death we now re- cord, Prank Mee and Clayton Grisdale. The favorite place for bathing is at a bend in the river, where twelve or fif- teen feet of water afford an excellent opportunity for those who can swim well, The sides are of slippery blue clay, and shelve off very quickly to the danger point in depth. Frank Mee was the first to go in, and being unable to swim was soon seen to slip into the deep and disap- pear. Clayton Grisdale noticed this, and at once plunged in to save his companion, but was immediately caught hold of by the first named and both went clown. A younger boy, Harold Buchanan, who can swim well, and was jest ready for a plunge, jumped in to help his comrades. One of them caught hold of him, and he narrowly escaped being dragged under also. Fortunately he was able to free himself, or he too would have found a watery grave, The alarm was given at once, and help speedily arrived. Among the first to reach the scene was Miss Kelly, a trained nurse residing at Thos. Arm- strong's. Mr. Albert Fleming was passing on Victoria street, and ran at once to the river, and with the assis- tance of two boys, sons of Thos. Hicks, he soon recovered the bodies. As soon as they were laid upon the bank, Miss Kelly endeavored by every means in her power to resuscitate the young men, not sparing either herself or her clothing. Drs. Tamlyn and Redmond soon arrived, but the spark of life had fled. Dr. Towler, Coroner, was also on hand, and decided that no inquest was necessary. In a few minutes the waters of the Maitland rolled on as smoothly as if no awful accident had occurred. Yet two young, bright lives had been suddenly ended ; two homes had been rent with poignant grief, and the whole community sorrow - stricken. Clayton Grisdale was in his eigh- teenth year ; he was a young man of exceptionally good character and habits, and was rapidly becoming 'the mainstay of his mother. But a few months ago, he chose the Christian life and united with the Methodist Church. He was faithful to his em- ployers, a dutiful son, and esteemed by all his associates. The...funeral on Monday was largely attended and was conducted by his pastor, Rev. W. G. Howson. Upon his casket were floral tributes from the citizens of the town, from the Epworth League and from the employees of Lloyd's factory where he had worked. Mr. Buchan- an, one of his employers and his class - leader, spoke very highly of the char- acter, faithfulness and honor of the deceased. • The other victim of this sad ac- cident was not so well known in Wingham, as his home was near Fordwich. Though he had only been , here a few months, his conduct was so ` exemplary, that he had gained the re- spect of all with whom he came in contact, He was employed by Mr. Geo. Carr, who speaks highly of his character and faithfulness. Frank was a member of Wingham Metho- dist Church, and of the Class, of which the writer is leader. Seldom was his place vacant; he was of a quiet, retiring disposition, but a good young man. His funeral took place on Tuesday from his father's residence to Fordwich cemetery. A number from Wingham were In attendance, and laid upon the easket a tribute of respect from our citizens, Not for many years has so sad an event occurred in Wingham, as that • which caused the death of two fine young citizens. One of our citizens, who has resided here for very many years, reckons that these deaths make eleven victims taken by the waters of the Maitland -•' within his recollection. .

John Joynt of Lucknow gave the Advance a call on Saturday last. Ile was in town completing arrange- ments for purchasing the farm that belonged to his brother, the late Thos. Joynt of St. Helens. This farm lies alongside Mr. Joynt's farm. of 150 acres, and he paid for it $8,000. This will give him 800 acres in one block. He also owns another 100 acres corner- ing on these lots. Mr. Joynt is an ex- cellent example of what push, energy and honest dealing may do for a young man. He began life as a hired boy, and worked for $12 a month on 0 farm that the afterwards purchased. By industry, good management and the blessing of Providence, he is now a wealthy tuan. Besides the three farms mentioned, Mr. Joynt has pro- perty in Lucknow, and is now build- ing one of the best blocks in that vil- lage. His example of industry and energy might well be followed by many young men of to -day, who are calmly waiting for "something to turn up." loor From Old Land. DIr. Geo. Mason returned on Satur- day from his trip across the ocean. He visited England, Ireland, Belgitm. and Holland, and the extended outing seems to have agreed with him.

His, visited six capitals during his absence. In Belgium tate railways are owned by the State, and the re- sults are in the interests of the people. For instance, a traveller can purchase a five -clay ticket for $2,25, and this will carry him anywhere he pleases and as far as he wishes during the five days; or for $4.50 he can get a ticket that will carry hint over the entire railway system of the country. A small photograph of the holder is at- tached to the ticket, and all tho travel- ler has to do is to show the ticket; when the time expires it is taken up, This is cheap travelling, at $2.25 for five days' travel, So much for public ownershiell a 11 B. n tar EllI.OvI, London, cls o and Ear Surgeon, will be at Mei Eye drug store the first Tuesday in each month ; hours, 2 to 0 p. in.

The best way to kill them as far as experience has shown, is to cut the plant off an inch or so below the surface of ground, with a sharp spade, and place on the root three teaspoon- fuls of concentrated lye solution, use three gallons of water to one package of G' illett s lye. Some of the back yards and lanes of Wingham should have severe treatment for this wee;l. As for Wall Paper to do up your fall house-cleaning, go to K. M.
