House, returned Thursday evening from
a three weeks''visit in Kentucky. Mr..
Ross had close call TO ''shuffle off this
mortal coil" when near Louisville, KY,
by a switch being turned the wrong
way near a steep embankment. The
engine and several cars were wrecked
and the passengers well shaken up. 1t
makes Mr.. Ross shudder yet TO think
how near he was TO the gateway be-
tween here and hereafter.
AT Middlesborough, KY, where Mr..
Ross son-in-law, A. p. Utter, is SUPER
intendent of tannery, the tannery
company has ten acre field of corn,
and while there Mr.. Ross and
Mr.. Utter went into the corn
field and cut down one stalk
OF corn that, by actual measurement,
was over sixteen feet long. Mr. Ross
says In some places there we're stalks Of
corn over nineteen feet tall.

Mysterious Woman.

A woman dressed in black who covers
her face with a heavy veil and wears
rubber shoes so her foot steps will not
be heard, has been seen on the streets of
Reynoldsville quite frequently in the
past two or three weeks. She is us
ually seen on Jackson street and her
hours for meandering are between
eleven and two o'clock at night Who
she is and the object she has in view is
what some of the men folks would like
to know, especially those who do not
find the shelter of their own homes be-

"Dandy" School Directors.

Ringgold township has "dandy" lot
of school directors. Last year they re-
duced the wages Of teachers TO 5000

cancelled the certificates OF all the
teachers employed for the Ringgold
township schools and the directors put
the wages back to the old rate. From

the teachers for their township:
