lor Thompson. George Kirk. Clarence Car

This deplOrable accident cast a gloom over
the entire community. The unfortunate
young man was eighteen years old and was
held in the highest esteem. He was engaged
in cutting the upper limbs from n large shade
tree in the lawn of his home, but when about
thirty feet from the ground, missed his
footing, and plunged headlong to the ground
without making any outcry. He struck the
ground on his head, the skull being crushed
and death was instantaneous His father
was standing nearby, and his cry of horror
brought the family and many neighbors to
the scene.

SECURED.
Deepening of The Channel VIII Add to
Elkton'S Activity. Congressman Baker
C0nferS With Citizens Regarding The
Matter.

The channel of the river at Elkton will be
deepened, as a Government appropriation
for the work will be forthcoming. The ccm-
mittee on Rivers and Harbors has recon-
mended that $4,000 be expended on the Elk
river at this point.
Congressman William b. Baker, who has
been untring in his efforts to secure this
needed Improvement for Elkton. was here on
Wednesday morning being met at Council
Hall by "A number of prominent citizens
To representative of the CECIL WING
Congressman Baker stated that "athough
there was no doubt but that the appropria-
ton of $4,000 already recommended by the
committee would be forthcoming at an early
date it was his desire to have Elk river re-
ceive larger amount in accordance with the
engineers report and' estimate which was
Sl6,665. If "A larger appropriation cannot be
obtained he would eudeavor to secure an an
nual appropriation for the maintenance of
way. Owing to the tremendous demands
made from all over the country for apprc-
priations it is only likely that there will be a
number of places disappointed in the amounts
OF their appropriations.

irving to prepare dinner. Rather
do all you car for your dinner Satur-
day afternoon or in the morning be-
fore you go to church, and when you
return kindly ask your company to
excuse YOU. Give them some books
or paper to read and change your
pretty dress that is so hard to
launder for one that bears washing
we'll, and go and help mother.
Notice the bright smile on her lips
and the glad light in her eye. When
she is laid in her grave, as mine has
been, you will be glad you have
helped her through life, and your
company will think more of you.
When you go to choose a husband
look to his home, and if he is kind
and helpful there he will also be to
you. Do not take any notice of the
man that uses slang in your presence,
for remember the man that wishes
to lead you to the altar, if he be a
gentleman, thinks you virtuous and
true and far too lovely to hear such
language uttered in your presence.
Beware of the stylish dude that has
no trade or the stranger that wishes
to marry in haste and can give no
record of his past life. Rather marry
a broad shouldered, stalwart farmer,
with good honest Character and not
much means than to risk your life in
such a persons hands. MAUD.
