Over in the woods whence the tornado had come, a well defined path could be seen. The top-; of pine trees had been snapped, oaks bent and broken and branches stripped of their foliage. "John Floyd s house, just a little way down the road, was a shapeless pile of splintered timber. And from it, I realized for the first time, came pitious cries for help. It was John's wife. 1 could tell her voice. "By this time people began to collect. Some of them came f^om the big house and some of them came from up the road. We all went to Mrs. Floyd's help.

We began to look for her little four year old adopted sow, and before long found him caught under some timber. He was still and quiet and we feared for the worst.

OONWA1 I ? ?!?"W BRIEF SENARIO VIICROBE OF LOVE f i ro be Given at Pastime Theater May Twenty Fourth, American Legion. - ? In the town of anywhere there ives a number of charming yourg ipinisters. There being only five j digible bachelors in the nia"e?and hese five determined to ronoa'n uu- j ved?the spinisters see but little j hance for them to overcome their I lusbandless condition. At length hey organized a club, for 11 sole mrpose of devising, ways and meims >y which they may secure mates or their lonely hearts. The performance open ^ with a neeting of this band. Among the nany schemes offered whereby they nay secure husban is, is that of gating them from various mail order louses by means of trading stamps. Jpon reading the descriptions of the nen given as premiums with the \a-| ious household articles quoted, however, the hearts of the spinisters aie saddened to find them but a bargain counter lot and not a model me among them. Realizing that the indications are that they will be orced to remain hanging on tiie >arent stem t'or years to come, the spinisters have grown very despondent, when Madam Hyman Cupid appears with an offer to secure luisxuuls for the husbandless by means >!' her remarkable* scientific discovery, the microbe of love, ller services are accepted and plans laul or the capture of those masculines jelonging to the hated Bachlor's Zhih. The Bachelor's Club numbers six >r eight determined young gentlenen who have decided to maintain heir liberty at all hazards. The regular meeting of this club is not levoid of interest, and the initiation if the new member, Mr. Henpecks Speech on "The Evils of Married Life," and other occurrences serve to make the assembly profitable as well is entertaining. The last scene is a garden party, and where the hapless, hopeless, lielpless bachelors become inoculated with the awful germ of microbe of love. The story of the wrecking of this club, and its virtual kidnapping of its members is too sad for expression. Since the microbe has immediate effect and the bachelors fall > .-?

AUTHORIZED FORE RADRPPTH? AT uriiviiu\yuu ni HARDEESFERRY Hut Class Will Be Host to the Men's Sunday School Classes of the Town. Those who survive the hall game between the Hut and Annex Classes, j which is briefly referred to in another column of this issue, will repair at once to Hardee's I'Vn v whore the ! Hut Class will be host to tho Annex class and the Men's class of the Pres byterian Church, in addition to al! the male officers of the throe Sunday, Schools of the town. It is expected 1 that the service of the barbecue will begin around six o'clock and continue ( well on toward mid-night. Down around Bucksport, where tho bull frog bellows at the moon and the katydid hums her croning monotone to the silent stars, a dozen or so fat shoats are spending their last days under the care and guardianship of Mr. Don Richardson. On Thursdav they will, as Shakespeare so well says, " be butchered to make a lloman holiday." And on Friday they will go the way of alll pork flesh, accompanied by bread, Irish potato salad, pickles and possibly berbecucumbers. On top of all of this rumors has it that cake will be spread around for those who still hfivo anv rhinks and crevices which need fillin*?. The committee of the Hut Class having charge of the barbecue states that admission will be by ticket, which said ticket will, however, cost nothing. These will be issued to the presidents of each of the throe classes and distributed among the members and male officers of the Sunday Schools. Each class is supposed to furnish cars to convey its members to Hardee's Ferry. Cars will leave the Court House grounds as soon as Umpire Anderson, or his successor in office, shall declare the ball frame at an end. Each man is expected to bring his own knife and fork, the ladies of the town not being willing to trust these implements into the care and keepinp; of the Class officers. One lady stated that after the last barbecue two or three inches had been bitten off of several of her knives. As soon as these instruments have done their duty pieces of paper will be passed around so that each man can wrap his knife and fork up and bring it home again in his pocket. Many of the stores and offices cf the Town will be closed in time to permit bosses and clerks to attend tlm barbecue. The Conway Lumber Company will close down its plant, so that the lumber fraternity may be well represented. o 41* ordsoi 25 F. O. B.
