They had started to work at a pile of raw wool near the door when Mr. Gledhill turned on the lights. In the fracus which ensued, Mr. Gedhill shot one of the men in the shoulder, while the other made off and up the hill to the church grounds, where they had parked a truck, and got away with it. The man who had been struck had fallen to the floor, the bullet having struck at the top of the right shoul- der and passed through, inflicting only a flesh wound. Mr. Gledhill took him to his own house, summoned medical aid and a constable, and the prisoner was taken to Goderich jail The man BLYTII Fight Over Street Pavement. — A climax to the paving of the streets took place last week when two old and respected residents met where the work was going on and started an altercation. Mr. Beatty, who is crip- pled and carries a cane, struck W. McElroy over the face, the result be- ing that Mr. McElroy had Mr. Beatty served with a summons for assault, and Beatty had a summons issued on McElroy for using abusive language. The cases came before Police Magis:- trate Reid, of Goderich, here on Sat- , urday. J. M. Best, of Seaforth, ap- peared for Beatty, and the county crown attorney appeared for the crown. In the assault case the mag- istrate bound Mr. Beatty over for a year to keep the peace on a $200 bond and ordered him to pay the costs of the action. McElroy was fined $5 and costs. There have been hard feel- ings caused in the town by the laying of the pavement, but this is the first case of such a nature. IsTotes.—The farmers are having a hard time garnering their crops on account of the catchy weather and some have not yet got their haying done, as they had to leave it to go at their wheat. The crops are all splen- did if they can be saved. Some are drawing in their grain and that in a wet condition which may have serious results.—Dr. Colborne, a general practitioner from Goderich, has de- cided to start practicing here and is having offices fixed up over R.

Goven- lock gave an accoufi of the Old Boys' and Old Girls Reunion in last week's Expositor, with a reference to the 0. T. A. at the end of every verse. The closing words of the letter prove that he was not taken into the confidence •of the Ontario Premier when fram- ing the questions, which will appear on the ballot paper. My guess is, the -questions will be: "Do you want the present O.T.A. to continue in force?" "Do you want the liquor business placed under government control?" And there are likely to be 'other questions on the ballot paper as well. Eighth Line Notes.—Visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

Public Meeting.—A public meeting in the interests of Social Service work, was held in the Town Hall, Hensall, on Tuesday evening last, when there was a large attendance, the spacious hall being well filled as well as many in the gallery. The meeting was advertised to start at 8 o'clock, but owing to many coming from quite long distances and coming in a little after time, the meeting was not opened until 8.30. The chairman of the evening was Mr. W. G: Medd, of Exeter, President of Social Service for South Huron, who discharged his duties throughout the meeting very ably and pleasantly, and the first speaker that he called upon was Mr. N. W. Trewartha, M.L.A., for South Huron, who made a very intetesting address on the subject of "Citizen- ship," emphasizing the thought that we should endeavor to make life the better of our having lived in it and to get people, to respect law and or- der. Speaking of the County of Huron he said he thought we well might feel proud of it in many way's and respects, one being that there was what might be termed two bad boys only in the County as far as at- tendants at the Industrial School served to show. He also spoke high- ly of the Children's Shelter in the County and the good work it was do- ing, and that from it the children were taken to good foster homes. He also spoke of the good work the juvenile court was doing for young offenders who were talked to and counselled in a way that was so help- ful to them, and in speaking further of agencies that made for good, he alluded to the prison farm, where so much good was done to the offenders of the law, that sixty-seven per cent. of them made good, and never came again insthe clutches of the law. Reg- ular church services were held every Sunday by bothsthe Protestants and Catholics, as well as tile Salvation Army holding a son' service every Sunday afternoon, and also spoke of other good agencies in the way of Social Service world, Trewartha's address was followed by a fine solo rendered by Miss Harvey, of Exeter, which was much enjoyed. The chair- man then called upon Miss Agnes McPhail, M.P., of Southeast Grey, who gave quite a long and interesting address on "Present Day Problems." Miss McPhail spoke of the kindly greetings that she received upon en- tering the hall and meeting with a friend who lived so near her home, and that while pleased to be present and give an address, she never felt so much at home and happy as address- ing a farmers' meeting, and liked to see so many present at the meeting. She then entered upon her subject of "Present Day Problems," and how necessary it was to have good active and constructive conditions and high ideals of life. 'She scored what she considered false and hypocritical in certain 'types of Christianity and spoke with Much warmth and force upon the eviri of war and what lead to war, the chief cause of which she characterized as the grasp of nations for con%0 of trade and markets. She said that Britain Was more of an ex- ception in "that Matter than other na- tions, as the was more for free trade, ,i4osber,, '44 KIPPEN ..Notice.—Owing to the death of the late Thomas Mellis, I would kindly ask all those having accounts prior to 1924 to kindly call and settle.

Huron on the lake shore. Death of the Late Robert Bell Mc- Lean—One by one the pioneers of Huron County are passing to their reward, leaving as a monument of their enterprise and frugality, one of the grandest and most fertile counties in our Dominion. The last to pass to that realm beyond the bourne was Robert Bell McLean, who died at his home on the London Road, about three-quarters of a mile to the north of our village, in the township of Stanley, on August 8th, in his 75th year. For the past five years Mr. McLean had been in failing health but up until the last short time had been able to be up and around, al- though gradually getting weaker, un- til the end came, and he passed peace- fully away without a struggle of any kind. The late Robert McLean was born on the old homestead, now own- ed by his son, James B., of Tucker - smith, nearly 75 years ago. He was the third son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James McLean, of Huron County, who predeceased him many years ago. In January, 1877, the late Robert Mc- Lean was united in marriage to Marion Kerr, daughter of the late William and Mrs. Kerr, of the town- ship of Hay, who has shared leis joys and sorrows for over forty years, and who ably seconded him in all his enterprises and undertakings, and who still survives him. This happy couple started life in many ways different from the way it is started now by the present generation. Taking up their abode on the 12th concession of Tuckersmith, on the farm now owned by Mr. ,George Fairbairn, and was some years ago owned by Mr. George Hill, now of the village of Brucefield, they started life in the humblest form not having large brick houses and fine barns as they do to -day, but on the other hand the little frame shanty which was erected inside the twenty- four hours. Here this happy couple started out in life full of determina- tion and means of will power to make the Mat- of life in all its' ups and downs. To this union five children were horn, all of whom are still liv- ing, namely: James B., on the old homestead, Tuckersmith; William jolen, of Haileybury; Mrs. James Fowler of Exeter; Mrs. Earle Sproat of Tuckersiiiith, and Mrs. John, Hen- dersdn, of' the London Road.. In the BEN SALL Death of Mrs. James Horton.— Quite a large number from Hepsall and vicinity, on Tuesday afternoon last, attended the funeral of the late Mrs. James Horton, of the boundary concession in the Township of Hib- bert, and wheq, maiden name was Annie Wren. Mrs. Horton had been ailing for a couple of years with no hopes of her recovery and having lost her eyesight for a year or more, made her life lonesome for her, so that death came more as a minister - "ng angel. Mrs. Horton had many excellent qualities and was highly re- spected. She was in her 76th year, and leaves her bereaved husband only to mourn the loss of a true and lov- ing wife, having no family. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Mr. Sinclair, of this village, and the remains were interred in McTaggart's cemetery. The funeral was quite largely attended, many relatives and friends coming from quite a distance. Briefs.—Mrt,. T.

She scored war as really having no place among nations and that now in time of peace and time for reflec- tion, that conditions should be made to prevent war, and that if war must be had that everyone should be made to feel the horrors of it, and not only parents and their sons, and that in that way there would be a wholesome dread of war. She also criticized in certain respects, school teachers and school books in not giving what she considered most essential in true ideals of life and that too much was made of war and training for it, and in her opinion, training for war made for war. She also thought that a great improvement could be made as to Parliament and the way cabinet members were selected and that they should be more responsible to their electors than to any cabinet. Miss McPhail was followed by the Rev. F. E. Clysdale, of Exeter, whose subject was "The Present Temperance Situa- tion." He dealt principally with the coming plebiscite on the 23rd of Oc- tober, 1924, and spoke of the present temperance legislation under the 0. T. A. as being the very best we had ever had. That under it, drinking had been reduced to a mere fraction of what it had been, and gave a great many convincing facts of the differ- ence between now and say, 25 years ago, that not one per cent. of the drunkeness was present. .now -that there was 25 years ago. He showed how differently 12th of July celebra- tions and election returns were now to what they used to be under the open bar, and that those who were trying to bring the O.T.A. under censure, such as the Moderation League, bootleggers and those inter- ested in the traffic, were trying to bring it under censure because it did prohibit and stop drinking so large- ly, and that while there was a certain amount of illicit traffic, it was a mere drop in the bucket to what it used to be, and how difficult it was to obtain liquor under the O.T.A., and how un --- fortunate it would be to ever surren- der the best legislation we ever had had. He instanced how much more drinking was done in the city of Win- nipeg, under Government control, than under the former good legislation that had been repealed, and that if the electors showed the same fine front for temperance as they had in 1919 and 1921, the Premier would endorse the O.T.A., but if not he would give them back the liquor with all its at- tendant evils, so that it was now up to the electors to stand true and firm to their best interests. He scored the idea of making the Government, as it were, the sellers of liquor, which. would be the case under Government control, and that under it women and girls would have access to it where they even did not have it under the old time bar system,, as they would not want to be found there, but would take it at counters or tables where it could be served. He closed his ad- dress with a strong appeal for the up- holding of the O.T.A. and making it even more, stringent. Another solo was then given by Miss Harvey, of Exeter, after which Mrs. Edwards, of Komoka, Provincial President of the Women's Institute, was called upon for her address on "Co-operation of Women's Societies in Social Work." But as the hour was then very late, Mrs. Edwards said she would not think of giving the address .she had intended, but spoke of her 'pleasure in listening to the former speakers and the good account Mr. Trewartha was able to give for Huron Cotnty in its social service work, and her ap- preciation of Miss McPhail's a fess and how she indorsed Rev. Mr. lys- dale's address along the line of ena- perance, and that the slogan that was used_by our soldiers in the late war, "They shall not pass," should be ap- plied in the case of the 0. T. A. That the enemy shall not pass in their ef- forts to throw down such good legis- lation, and in closing spoke of the great advantage that would accrue in the way of the different societies for social work being more merged, and that while the women were doing a great work they sought and needecl. the co-operation of the men. The meeting was then brought to a close by the singing of the National An- them.
