This morning, Mr. Emerson, who was • driving in the Bayfield road, saw the body lying on the road near the over- head bridge. He at once notified the authorities and- Dr. Oakes was called. But he pronouncedthe man dead.," In the absence of Dr. Shaw, Coron- er Dr, Burrows, of Seaforth was summoned and he decided that an in- quest be held. The following were empanneled as -a jury; Messrs. G. 1.1. Elliott, foreman, W. T. Hawkins, R. H. Johnson, E. Walton, R. Webster, W. Pickett, W. H, Mutoh and C. D. Connell. They viewed the body ' and the inquest was adjourned until 2 o'clock on Tuesday next. At tinne of writing arrangements for the funeral of the unfortunate man have not been completed. Box Owners Beware Postmaster Counter asks us to say to the holders of rural mail boxes that the Postoffice Department has not authorized anyone to go about paint - Mg mail boxes at the expense of the owner. It appears that a racket of this sort has been carried on in some parts, A. man, or perhaps two, comes along, tells the farmer that he has been sent to brighten up the mail boxes, -proceeds to do it, and demands fifty. cents for the service. Nobody has been sent out by the department to do this at all. When the mail box needs freshening up, and it must be admitted some of therm do, the owner is supposed to do it himself or arrange tohave it done. If you own a mail box do not be fooled by any travelling slicker. Another thing which Postmaster' Counter has brought to our attention is the fact that tourists sometimes -nail cards or letters with insufficient postage, or they even soinetimes mail letters with American stamps. The postage issued by the government of The United States is all right, in that country, but it is no use in Canada. When mailing -natter in a Canadian postoffice each piece must have suf- ficient Canadian stamps to carry it to its destination. Otherwise delay and loss will ensue. When in a foreign country one has. to conform to the customs and laws of that country, however unreason- able they seem to be. Its the only way one can ever learn to be a good and a welcome traveller. A. Y .P. A. Picnic The annual •picnic -of the Anglican Young; People's Association of the Deanery of Huron was held on the Reeto'y - Lawn at Bayfield on July 15th.

This year it was won by Clinton. Canon Ap- pleyard of Seaforth made the presen- tation to ,Miss Florence MacCallum, Secretary of the Clinton Branch; CLINTON AGAIN BEAT GODERICH Also `Eke Out Win Over Zurich STOCK AND BRANT DO SOME FINE HURLING Seaforth Here Tomorrow The Clinton- Colts wound bp the regular schedule with the Goderich Sailors son Tuesday night in Goderich by handing the Sailors a 6-1 beating. This was the fourth time these teams have met this season and on the four occasions the Colts came out the win- ners. "Slim" Brant made his firstap- penance on the mound since the op- ening of the season and pitched six innings of splendid ball, backed up by splendid support in the field by his teammates. Heletthe Sailors down with 6 hits, struck out nine of the 23 batters that faced hint, and did not issue a base on balls, at the same time receiving perfect support in the field. If the locals continue to get this kind of mound workfrom Brant and Stock, they should be hard to stop. So far this season they have only lost one. game, the first one played, tied one, and have eightwins their credit. g to - Dick Welsh was in the box for the Sailors, and Dick pitched good ball, the locals collected only '7 safties off. his offerings, : one of them being a two -bagger by "Riley" Johnston in the sixth which drove in two runs. He issued two bases on balls, and struck out 8 men. His teammates collected 4 errors, which probably -helped the Clinton cause some. Goderich got 3 of their 6 hits in the first inning, thus accounting for their run, Phelan came home on Finlayson's single. Clinton scored 3 runs in the fourth, one in the filth and two in the sixth.

The Seaforth boys have not had much luck this season, but have acquired quite a name for their stick-to-it-ive-mess, and tans are as- sured of seeing two teams out there trying all the time, something that is not always the case at ball games. The locals are also trying to ar- range a game with Winghani which is supposed to be played in the near future. . Clinton: won a close game from Zurich last Thursday night by the score of 6 to 5 . According' to the of- ficial scorer the locals must have had an off night as they were credited with six errors. Some of this May have been due to the fact that Man- ager Tasker had to rearrange his line-up, due to Pickett being unable to be present, As a result, Hawkins tookhis place at first and Glew took Hawkins' place at second, "Poodle" Livermore, who has seen very little action of late was injected into the centre; field position in Glew's place. The locals got away to a flying start inthe first, coming through with 4 runs. ,Holmes walked, McDon- ald and: Wagg .singled and Hawkins drew out a homer to dear the sacks. Zurich was held scoreless until the third. Lillow was on on •a Clinton error and he and Yungblutt scored on O'Brien's drive. Zurich gradually closed the gap and with one run in the fourth and two more in the sixth took the lead 5 to 4. • After their first inning splurge the Colts were held in check until the seventh, and then it was errors on Zurich's part ' that won - them - the game. McDonald walked; McEwan was on: cal, an error; McDonald scored the tying run on Wagg's long fly, McEwan going to second. McEwan then scoredwhen the second baseman let Glew's drive away front, him with the winning run. Zurich went scoreless in their half of the seventh, but quite an argument arose when Stock caught Stade off first, Zurich claiming a balk, blit the umpire ruled differently. Stock pitched good ball, but his teammates nearly threw it way With THE HOME PAPE The Markets Wheat, 80c.1 Oats, 34c to' 35c. Barley,50c. Buckwheat, 42c.

McCartney received word Tuesday of . the death of her father, Henry Livermore of Upland, California. My. Livermore and his family had been visiting here, leaving Clinton July 13th on their return journey. No word bad been received since,- until this wire, but they seemed to have reached home. Mr. Livermore was not in good health when here and their visit was shortened on that account. He hacl suffeerd from as- thma and a heart condition and the change of climate did not suit him.
