of a couple of young lads occurred on
Saturday afternoon, When Gordon

his balance and fell into the water.
'Young Wilson immediately gave the
alarm and in about twenty minutes
Eddie Blue recovered the body, but

of sadness over the community, where

WILL TRY TO SAVE
THE BELL FACTORY
A fairly well defined rumor that the
ovvner of the Bell Factory, which has
been vacant for a long time, might
scrap the building is not well receiv-
ed by many men in 'town, who have
its best interests at heart At a meet-
ing in the council chamber on Tues-
day evening, and which might have
been better attended, the matter was
gone into at some length. The gen-
eral sentiment being that an effort
should be made to retain the building
'and else to get some industry to op -
Crate it.
Mayor Fells suggested a canvas of
the town in an effort to raise sniffle
dent money to, buy the property, make
some necessary repairs, and then try
and get an industry to operate it. 'This
received very general approval, so the
Mayor and Councillor Wilkinson will
try their persuasive powers to raise
the required sum. It need only be
said that the objective is worthy' of
support for just so long as the build-
ing remains there is the possibility of
is being turned into a g-oing concern.
If this will not materialize and the
place must be scrapped, there does not
eem much danger of any loss being
ustained. These gentlemen will in-
erview you this week.
