NAME OF ORGANIZATION CHANG- ED—OFFICERS ARE ELECTED —APPROVAL OF 0O.T.A. » The Perth County Temperance and Moral a> Alliance met in the Y. M. C. A., Stratford, on Friday last, when pReciatteoet workers from all parts of the county gathered to- be replaced, it was not thought ad- visable to put in an entirely new ex- ecutive. It was decided that the pres- idents of the temperance organiza- tions in each municipality should als so be made members of the execut tive. 4 speech by Rev. Mr. Bell, of the Prohibition Union, Toronto, urged strongly the need of preparedness | gether. The morning session was devoted! to the hearing of reports from the} ¢ Various sections, and on the whole they were favorable. The feeling of the convention was one of satisfac- . tion with the progress of temperance in. Perth The president of the alliance, Mag- istrate T. L. Hamilton, of Lisféwel, who occupied ie chair, urged the ne- eessity for whole-hearted co-opera- tion of all prohibitionists in bripxing T. A. offenders to justice. He pointed out that it was quite obvious that an inspector can not discover every violation of the law and declar- ed that it was up to the members of Sthe churches and temperance’ sup- porters to inform the inspector of any infractions that might come within their notice. D. M. Wright of Stratford, in speaking of the situation in that city expressed the opinion that the gov- ernment had no right to bring on a referendum on the O.T.A. unless it alternative that to the “Government control” he said, “is mot superior to the O.T.A., at least, it has not yet been found to be as good. I have been in British Colum- bia and in Quebec and I claim that! government = is a distinctly backward m he ci Blah expressed a very hearty vote of appreciation of the gervices rendered by Magistrate Hamilton of Listowel, in his capacity as president of the county alliance over a period of six or seven years '.-Mr. Hamilton asked to be relieved of his duties by this convention. Rev. F Duggan, of St. Marys, was pres- sed to accept the office but declined and the question of electing a new president and executive — deferred “until the afternoon sess amilton, of Millbank, treas- | mrer of the alliance for the past ten years, read a very favorable report “on the finances of the organization. At the afternoon session a motion ‘‘owas introduced by T. L.

In conclusion the speaker urged that all present work with the energy of those who were consecrated to the work and prayed that God give them strength to car- ry the fight to the gates. A resolution was passed express- ing appreciation of the work of the G in f (3) the O. T. A., and giving assurance of sympathetic and loyal support in this direction. t was moved that a letter ures the preaching of a sermon on ernment Control and the O.T.A. be sent to each preacher in the county. Many are preaching such sermons but it was felt that if letters were sent to all, more effective and last- ing results would be brought about. It was also suggested that various up-to-date temperance literature be obtained and cirenlated among the Sunday Schools and Congregations of the County During the afternoon a by Mrs. Frank Campbell of Mitchel was iraq She Pic accompanied by Mrs. L.

O. Mail Clerk Held For Theft! SAMUEL HAWKINS, OF CARGILL, N RUN BETWEEN SOUTHAMPTON AND PALMER- STON. Samuel Hawkins, of Cargill, a railway mail clerk, was arrested Friday last at Southampton at the in- stigation of the post office depart- ment and charged with the theft of a quantity of registered mail. Haw- kins was sane as a Dall clerk on the C. R. His run extend from Southainptan to Palmerston. The extent of the robbery is not yet known, officials at the post of- fice state. It is intimated that the thefts have been going on for some time and measures were en by Superintendent W. J. May, of the London postal district, with head- quarters in London, to apprehend the alleged thief. Hawkins has been in, the mail ser- vice for a number o re. The run on which he was engaged is one of the most important of the north branch lines of the C. N. R. and con- siderable quantities of mail pass over the line daily The arrest was made by a member of the Harriston decective firm, who, it seems, had been working on the case for some time. It appears that registered mail had been disappear- ing right along on this line with the result that the department decided to conduct an investigation, which fin- ally led to Hawkins’ arrest. Hawkins admitted taking a letter containing a one dollar bill, but no less than elev- en registered letters were found in the prisoner's club bag following the arrest. He was taken to the county jail this morning by the Southamp- ton Chief of Police. Hawkins is a married man about twenty-five years of age and has a wife and family living in Southampton. A jJater despatch states that Sam- uel Hawkins appeared before County Magistrate McNabb at Walkerton on Monday and pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to a three-year term in Kingston Penitentiary. | eiebeeeeiebletebeieeiebbeiee dt + BUSINESS IS GOOD AND GETTING BETTER % oA + topped FosssesseiecscsiaGieassict do we mean—‘'Buesiness is We mean it is not bad—we mean that there is plenty of business in Canada to-day for every he-man who goes out and LOOKS for it.
