Hartman had the misfortune to

was broken just above the ankle.

$500 for Mrs. R. E. Knight,
whose husband died a few days
ago, he being a member of

in a good time and will be of
much help to Mrs. Knight and
children. Mr. Knight had been
a member of the order something
over three years, but he

A 6 room dwelling on Mr. E. i
M. Railings' farm 2 miles south- 1
east of town which was occupied I
by Mr. Minor Jordan and family
was burned early yesterday .
morning and the building and
contents is a total loss, save *
about ten dollars worth of house- '*
hold goods. The fire started in
a bed room while the family was
at breakfast and gained such I
headway before it was discover-11
ed that practically nothing was 1
saved. There was no insurance <
on either building or contents, i
Mr. Jordan and family are hard- 1
working people and they 1
deserve the help* that neighbors i
and friends rajry give them.

Ad infant of Mr. and Mrs. M. 1
V. Rivers, of the Hopewellj *
community, died Sunday and was
buried at Hopewell Mon- g
day, services being conducted

Mr. James Medlin, a farmer I
living a mile south of town, sent

they were laid on successive
days. ^

fighter who has held the world 1
championship, was knocked out f
in the 26th round by Jess Wil- (1
lard, a young Kansas cowboy, v

dny. Every white man is glad
the negro pugilist has been
downed.
The snow recorded in these
columns last week was followed
by another and more severe one
Friday night and Saturday.
There was snow in the shady
places from Tuesday of last
week until Monday of this week.
You know it was cold, though,
don't you?

councillor, and C. M. Nalen,
state manager of the beneficiary

The public is invited to hear
these addresses.
One day last week a couple of
box cars broke loose on the
grade near the crossing in the
northern part of town and they
were on the run for Crowburk
when Mr. R. L. Rodgers saw
them from his home near the track
and ran and mounted one 1
of them. It is downhill nil the
way to Crowburk and the roadbed
is in poor condition. The cars
would have been dumped
into the mud somewhere down
the road, and Mr. Rodgers was ^
taking a great risk when he
mounted one and began pulling
hrakes. Hi? offorK
cessful and he soon broughs the ^
cars to a standstill, and thus \
saved the road many dollars. "
He deserves a pass.
