Word was received here on Saturday
that Capt. John NJ. Clapp while boarding
street car at Washington, d. c.. intend
ing to takea train from Washington to
Oil City, fell and broke his right leg.
Captain Clapp is one of the best known
men of the northern oil field and his
many friends are considerably concerned
over the accident, which is serious on ac-
count OF his years. Derrick.
Fish dynamiting has been going on
in the river a short distance below here
to quite an extent. We understand that
evidence sufficient to convict the culprits
can be produced If any one desires to
bring the offenders to justice. The PEN
atty for this meanest of all game law vio-
lations is very severe, and few doses OF
the proper medicine should be admins
tered. 1t is a shame to allow it to go on.
Rev. Dale was unfortunate enough to
step on a rusty nail last Friday, which
penetrated his shoe and made an ugly
cash an inch deep in his foot. On that
account preaching services were sus-
pended at the NJ. L. church on Sunday,
and many of the congregation worshiped
at the other churches. The Reverend is
recovering slowly from the injury but
will probably suffer for some time to
come.-Sandy Lake Breeze. Mr.. Dale
was former pastor of the M. Il. church
of this place.
Cree T. Work, former Forest coun-
ty boy, has recently been elected presi-
dent of the White Girls Industrial col
lege. located at Denton, Texas. Mr.. Work

manual training in the public schools of
past two years, to assume his new duties.
The board of regents of the industrial
college look upon their new president as
"a gentleman of noble christian charac-
ter, fine practical sense and of superior
administrative and executive ability"

Since so much has been said of late in
regard to the raising of large families, it
might be well for Franklin to show what
she has done in this respect. We have a
man now living in this city, named w. NJ.
Steen, who at the age 60 years.is the father
of 2s children, and, we understand, all OF
them are living. Mr.. Stern comes from
long-lived race, his mother dying in
Pleasantville few years ago at the ad-
vanced age of l07 years. Beat that if you
can.-Franklin News. That's a pretty
big story, but il "Bill" told it to the
News man it's so, for he never varied
from the truth-very much.

years been The sole manager of this flour
ishing store and thoroughly understands

wishes for success to the new firm.
