A SAD ACCIDENT.
Little Harry Visor was Drowned in a
Cess Pool Friday Night.

Cess Pool Friday Night.
Harry Visor. youngest son of Mr..
and Mrs. Samuel E. Visor, who was
not yet seven years old. walked into an
open cess pool on lot of his grandfather,
DR.. j. w. Foust, last Friday evening
about eleven o'clock and his %lifeless body
was recovered from the pool about
seven o'clock the same night. A new
cess pool had been dug, the building
removed from old cess pool and a man
and team had been hired to fill the old
cess pool Saturday, and some old rub
Dish near the cess pool had been set on
fire to burn it away so as not to inter
fere with work OF filling pool Saturday
morning. Harry had been at his
grandfather's and started home and the
last heard Of him was when he was 60
ing around the house towards home
singing. The supposition is that he
went up to the fire and walked into the
cess pool without thinking OF it being
there. Harry was never out after
supper, but this evening his mother
was away, the first time in eleven years,
and he had been at home OF his grand
parents. When he did not get home
o o after seven o'clock Mr.. Visor sent
Walter, an older brother, after him,
but he failed to find Harry. A search
was made by Mr. Visor and others for
him and about $50 Mrs. Visor thought
OF the cess pool, and there his body was
found.
Funeral service was held at home OF
bereaved parents at Las p. m. Sunday,
and was a very large funeral for a boy
so young. DIR. ]. A. Parsons, pastor OF
the M. e. church, conducted the SER
vice. Two trolley cars were used to
take the funeral party to the Reynolds
vile cemetery, where interment was
made.
Harry Visor would have been seven
years old the 10Th OF next December.
He was a personal friend of the editor
of...THE STAR and we were sorry to
learn of his sudden death. Harry be-
gan attending M. E. Sunday school over
four years ago, when about two and a
half years old, and only missed two Sun
days during the four years. He was
n of our faithful Sunday school boys.
II was a delight to him to be doing
something for other people; he was al
ways looking for an opportunity to help
someone. Friday, his last day at public
school, he stayed after school and
cleaned the blackboard for his teacher.
He could write and had a list of names
at home OF boys who attend school
whom he said would not go to heaven
because they would swear, he had heard
them swear. Harry was an easy-going,
quiet boy, always in good humor and
happy, and had many friends among
older people as we'll as boys and girls.
The floral tribute consisted of bou-
quets from Clifton Williams, Lilly
Northey, Cereal McCreight, J.. J. Nc.
Entire and wife, Fl. L. McEntire and
wife, Boyd Johns, Harvey Deter,

"Her Only Sin"

The average play nowadays usually
depends for its success upon some
element foreign to the real story of the
plot. The American flag is waved
wildly, mock heroes are INDUCED in,
the pathos is turned sometimes to the
burlesque and the comedy depends on
the liberal use OF the slap stick rather
than the exercise of true wit; or per-
haps there is a little OF the real play in
evidence that o u is had to the
introduction of numerous inane special
ties utterly out of place and homogeneous
to the scene. Lincoln j. Carter in his
successful drama-"Her Only Siu'-has
written a simple, plain story appealing
so directly to the heart and mind of the
auditor that it enlists his Interest and
gains his sympathy from the opening
speech and holds it with ever increasing
force until the final word is spoken.
This play will be seen at the Reynolds
opera house on Friday evening, October
10.

Marcus Julius Cicero bathed in the
mud of Lake Aguan 1900 years ago
In order to get rid of the govt. The
mud of the standing waters in the dis
trict west of Naples was famous from
early times for the relief of arthritis.
The luxurious high llvers of the i'm
perial days knew its efficacy and no
doubt did their cure" there In much
the same rough and ready fashion as
their modern representative does now.
1t is no doubt to the sulphur and
other deposits that the mud Of the lit
tie lakes on the promontory Of Cumae
owes it's health giving properties, and
as nature works much the same way
now in that region as she did in the
time of the Caesars the effect upon
twentieth century govt is probably
much the same as when the great Tul-
ly soaked his inflamed joints In the
ooze of the Phlegraeaen fields.
