Ed. Register-About 1915 Saturday night
| a very distinct shock of earthquake was felt
here by great many of our townspeopIe
The duration of the shock was about fifteen
seconds, and those of our folks who felt il
are nearly ali of the same opinion as to the
first thought entering their minds, and that
was that burglars were at work, but, after a
few moments of collecting her senses from
the drowsiness Of slumber, they soon be- anne
acquainted with the situation, and, in little
while, were again in sweet repOse.
Mr.. VIM. Fitzpatrick has returned home
from Topeka, Kansas, accompanied by his
daughter, Mrs. Jas. Cuthbert. 1t will be re-
membered, mention of the matter was
made in last weeks REGISTER, that Mr.
Fitzpatrick was called thther in response %
a telegram bearing The news of his beloved
wife who was there lying very low with alb
scess of the liver, and, as an operation was
thought necessary, she submitted, and a
tumor weighing sixteen pounds was taken
therefrom. The operation was successfully
performed and everything looked favorable
for her early recovery, hut cold set in and
she soon passed away. Deceased was about
66 years of age, was good Christian woman,
a member Of the Missionary Baptist church,
loving wife and mother. She leaves hus-
band and one daughter, Mrs. Jas. Cuthbert,
to mourn her and the entire community
extends their heartfelt sympathy to the be-
reaved ones.
Those of our town people who took their
outing on sunday were Mr.. and Mrs. James
MeLaren and sister to the latter named Miss
Nettie Beeves, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Marlin
and our GranitevilIe second nine, who went
to Arcadia to cross bats with the coored
nine of that town for the third time, but the
home team, however, we understand, got it
put on them this time so to 10. The first
defeat we believe this season. The second
nine, we will say, were not alone, as two
other teams of our town went with them.
The Happy Hollow boys did up the Sham
rocks 1--WE will call them) in grand shape
The fourth team, and in the kid line, went
to Middlebrook and fell victims to the Brook
ties IN a way that did not set very well with
our small boys. Truly Sunday was not our
day out as base ballsts.
Mr.. George King, of whom mention was
made last week, who was having fits and was
taken TO the city and would be placed in the
hospital, returned on Tuesday evening in
care of Geo. Bowhay. The doctors there
said they could do nothing for him, hence
their early return, and, as he was still bay-
ing those spells frequently, it was thought
best to seud him TO his brother in Quincy.
Mass. So arrangements were soon perfected
and on Sunday, in the care of of Mr.. Bow
hay, they started East. The trouble, webe-
lieve, with Mr.. King is epieptic fits caused
from a partial sun stroke while IN st. Louis
last summer. 1t is hoped by his brother
granite cutters and friends here that he will
eventually recover.
Misses Mary Ranft, Mary Schwab and Nora
Kolb were out to our town Sunday for a
drive.
Mr.. Jas. SizemOre came down from the
city to Sunday with his folks here.
