A Mules Vicious Kick.

Mr.. Robert Sea, of the Woodlake
neighborhood, this county, was haul
ing stock fodder a few days since,
with a mule attached to wagon,
when the animal baked. In the
effort to make it pull Mr.. Sea walked
up by the side of the mule and struck
it a severe blow upon the hip with
the lines, when the animal kicked al;
him, striking him in the face, break
ing the jaw-bone at the chin, and on
the right side, knocking out four
teeth and MASKING his nose. DR..
John A. Lewis, Of Georgetown, was
sent for and dressed his injuries, but
it will be a long time before Mr.. Sea

Death Of w. h. Allison.

A telegram received by the editor
of the ROUNDABOUT Saturday after
noon, conveyed the sad, but not I'M
looked for, intelligence that Mr.. Will
liam B. Allison, formerly of this coun-
ty, passed away at his home in Rich
mond, Virginia, Saturday morning,
after lingering illness of many
months with consumption. He died
as he had lived, true Christian, ex-
pressing firm faith in the Savior,
and fell asleep in His arms, with no
fear Of death or the grave. Of
modest, gentle disposition, only those
who knew him best appreciated his
true worth. To the gentle, loving
wife, who has for the third time in
the last six months been called upon
to stand by the open grave of loved
one-two bright, beautiful little
daughters having preceded her hus-
band to the eternal home only few
months before-this last blow came
with sad and crushing effect, and the
hearts Of many friends and relatives
here, where she was born and reared,
are bowed down with deepest grief
for her. 1t seems hard that one so
pure, SO noble and gentle should be
called upon to endure so great aff1ic-
ton, but it is the Lords will, and she
at least will bow in humble Christian |
submission to it. God be with her
and her three little ones in this da rk
hour, and give them strength to bear
up under the exceeding weight Of
woe which has come upon them.
The funeral took place Sunday af-
rest in beautiful Hollywood cemetery.

cULTURE.-DEAR SIR: Yves L.
Robertson, editor of the Gallatin
Democrat, in a letter to this office
concerning the Inter State Road
Grader contest to be held at Mex
leo, Mo-, September 1917 next,
suggests that mass conventions be
called at each of the county seats
on September 5 to elect delegates to
represent the counties at the trial.
The idea is a good one and we
hope it will be generally acted up
on. viii you, cooperating with
other newspaper men, county judg-
es and others interested, call a
meeting for the.date indicated and
elect delegates
The Board OF Agriculture will be
very glad to have this done, feel
ing that it will add greatly to the
success of the trial. We would
suggest that five delegates be APP
pointed, a newspaper man, a men,
Der OF the County Court, a road
overseer, a farmer and a business
man of the town.
Marked copies of papers contain
ing notices of the trial will be ap-
preciated. Respectfully,
LEVI C%HUBBUCK,
Secretary.

cent hogs were offered. Butcher
grades sold at So. 35 to $40; good
light SIS. 10 to 1928 but were weak
at the close; fair to good mixed
s4.75 to 500; heavy rough 1915
to $3.50, and good heavies $500 to
SIS. The off grade hogs and green
stock sold at So to s4.6O and very
unevenly, and while they sell do
not give satisfaction to handlers.
Sheep.-There was a fair run,
but the bulk consisted of ordinary
sheep. The demands for decent
to good muttoas were quite fair,
also for good stock ewes and NUT
tons. Thin and common sheep
