Fork, 18th District.-Mr. William Price,
father of Mrs. Leonard Foard, is still confined
| to the house from the accident which befelI
him nearly two weeks ago. He was watching
| the operation of cutting fodder when the ny
wheel of the cutting-box flew off and came, as
he expressed it. like a cannon ball" and
struck him on the knee. caught his overcoat.
| wheeled him around, threw him down and
ran over his breast. As the wheel weighs
hundred pounds or more and was running at
high speed; Mr.; Price was fortunate to escape
being killed. Mr.. Van Wilgies, who feeds the
cutter. says he was never scared so badly in his
life as when it few off and by moving quite
lively and in time he got out of the way Of the
flying wheel. DR.. John S. Green is attending
Mr.. Price.
On Sunday, January 21st, Rev. r. L. Dickey
will preach at Fork and Salem NJ. e. churches.
He is secretary of the Local Preachers Asso-
citation. On January 18th Rev. w. L. Schmal-
horst will preach at Fork in the morning. Rev.
M. L. Beall, pastor, exchanging and preaching
at the same time for Mr.. Schmalhorst at Chest
nut Grove Presbyterian Church.
On the first Sunday in March Rev. Joseph s.
Wilmington, president of the Local Preachers
Association, will fill the appointments at Fork
and Salem.
Last Sunday morning Rev. William L. LAM
bright preached at Waugh Nj. e. Church in
the morning, and not evening" as your type
setter made me say in last weeks issue. A
slim congregation listened to bis fine sermon,
owing to the confusion this error made among
the people, so the pastor Rev. NJ l.. Beall
thinks that, owing to the large circulation of
THE UNION, it behooves the editors to be care
full, as seemingly small error like this proves
a serious one, as preacher coming from Balti-
more is disappointed at small congregation,
and as it was Mr.. Lambrights second sermon
at Waugh the people wanted to hear him again.
They were delighted with his first sermon.
| am pleased to note that in giving correct
information last week about Towson, as to its
resources and enterprises tina. the editors were
up-to-date and have been wise in not classifying
the saloons as benefit. We extend our con-
gratulations and wish the editors would be
fearless enough to scut out advertising their
business. While at the Worlds Fair in 1904
subscribed for year to monthly farm paper
just being started in st. Louis. The subscrip-
ton was placed at ten cents year in order to
get large number of farmers to subscribe, and
it was successful. For nearly year it ran
solid reading matter, about 16 large pages.
Then it took in advertising and with it about
a dozen flaming whisky advertisements. The
editors must have been flooded with protests
and threats of disseminating from the farmers
for, after the second issue of these ads every
one was cut out. 1t is praiseworthy fact that
not one of the many leading agricultural papers
prints any liquor advertisements and they
have, many of them, over 100000 subscribers.
The farmers who take agricultural papers are
the bone and sinew of the land and want clean
papers in their homes. The UNION well claims
to be the newsiest county paper in the State.
Let it do little cleaning up on the advertising
line. The Farm Journal. with nearly half
million subscribers, goes still further and re.
fuses hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of
patent medicine advertising. K.
The editors of THE UNION accept, with
proper humility, the "drubbing'' our cores
pondent gives us on account of the error in
hour above referred to. Perhaps if he would
write a little pIainer such things wOuld never
occur again.
