the number not resident in this city.
Prof Baker was brief caller yeSter-
day morning and left with us sample
apple from the orchard of Mrs. Bump

fine an apple as we would care to see,
and Phillips county certainly stands
we'll up to the front in the quality
and flavor Uf her apples.

Mr.. and Mrs. David Goddard re-
turned Saturday night from an ex-
tended visit east. They went back
to their old home in Canada, and from
there to Maine, Massachusetts, and
Connecticut, where after spending
some time they returned to the lower
provinces of Canada. They left here
June ID. Their visit was a very
pleasant one, although it had been 10
years since they were back last, they
found the changes slight except of
course in the people great many of
whom had died and the children
grown up to manhood and woman
hood.
An accident which came near being
very serious occurred a mile east of
town Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. G..
E. Utter and her daughter, Mrs. G. S.
Atkins, together with the children
were returning from drive in the
country and were coming down the
hill going north just east of the bridge
across the Rrairie Dog, when the
strap which holds the thills down
came unbuckled and let the thills fly
up oyer the head of the horse. This
frightened the horse which made
rapid strides toward the foot of the
hill. The late rains had washed a
gully across the road at the foot Of the
hill and when the buggy crossed the
ditch the occupants were tossed out
upon the ground like SO many bottles.
Mrs. Utter suffered some painful
bruises and scratches and the children
were more or less scratched and bruis-
ed. 1t was extremely fortunate that
the results were not much more
serious.
