The memory of the holiday season
at Grand Bend, bas again been sad-
dened by the drowning of another
young man, Norman Elliott, of St.
Marys. Scarcely a camping season
passes at this resort, that there is
not some one ushered into eternity
in a similar way. Should these sad
events not•serve as warnings to fre-
quenters of summer resorts and stay
those who will persist in taking their
lives In their own hands, when dan-
ger lurks in their path. The blow
to the parents of this young man is
indeed sad, and it will be hard for
them to realize for many a day to
come, that the young man, whe was
so full of life, has disappeared for-
ever front their midst, When death
comes in this way, in the midst of
holiday -malting, the shock is always
the more severe, and its grimness all
the more terrible. The contrast
throws out its black colors, in horrid
relief. On all sides the keenest sym-
pathy will be felt for the bereaved,
and it 'nay be that the knowledge,
that they do not mourn alone, will
bring them some pale, glimmering
comfort.
Local News
Mrs. J. N. Howard has moved with
her household effects over the store
premises of .Mr. C. L. Wilson, on

cession of Stephen, had an old fash-
ion barn raising on Monday after-

DOG NUISANCE
To th.e Editor of the .Advotate:--•
I. have been creditably informed
that our town fathers, some time
ago, passed a by-law that no town
dogs should be allowed- to run at
large. . There is every indicatin of
this by-law being entirely ignored
and not the slightest observance has
been taken of it so far" as I can see.
If by-laws are to be made and broken
at will, what is the use of making
such by-laws, • with apparently riot
the least effort to enforce them..
,Now, Is think it about time that some
action,; shoulds;be taken '.iJUl kinds
of hounds; Airedales ,various other
large"sized' dogs that are, running at
large do a lot of 'damage to gardens,
and flowers as well as being a nuis
, ante in many other ways. Is it not.
up to the authorities to enforce the
laws?
