THE MISSING CHILD.

Though further searches have been made br Mr E. Paul's child, who ctisappeared. rom his father's home on Saturday, Novm'ber 13, no trace so far has been found of he little fellow (says the "Winton Rebrd"). The bush has been thoroughly coured and the open country and gullies raversed from end to end. It is thought 'hat the wee fellow may have climhed a ;ree bird-nesting and got caught in the jranches or fallen from a tree into the hick fern. He may also have wandered to the Winton creek, some distance away, and fallen in. Af that time the creek was in high fiood as a result of the steady rainfall. One day no less than 150 residents searched the bush from daylight till dark, and almost daily parties have been aut in hope of finding the child. Of 30urse if the child wandered towards the 3wollen| creek and fell in, the body may never be recovered, or at least not until the stream falls below normal.- A huge P&rch party is being or.ganised by the oolice for Sunday next to ma-ke another big effort to find the missing boy, Stanley Paul. Searehers are asked to meet at Mr Nicholson's, Devereaux road, and at — r R. Paul's at 9 a.m. that day. Very great BWthy prevails for Mr Paul who, not long since, had the misfortune to lose his wife.
