WOMAN FALLS INTO
AN OPEN CISTERN
Wedding Ceremony Rudely
Interrupted.
DIR. j. Il. Henslcy Is Called Upon 70
Rescue and Revive While Perform
ing Clerical Duties.

NOT often is the versatility OF a
man of the professions put to the
test as was that Of Rev. DR., ]. l..
Hensley Saturday afternoon. Rev.
Hensley is a past master in caring for
the physica, welfare OF the genus
homo as well as for their houls, but
he seldom confuses the two or works
on both jobs at one and the same
time. Strange are the exigencies OF
life however. Saturday afternoon,
Rev. Hensley took him his bible in
hand, ani started out on the pleasant
mission of causing two souls to have
single thought, two hearts to beat
as one. In his clerical uniform, he
knocked with dignity at the door OF
ii. G. Williams and was eagerly
welcomed by the prospective groom,
Albert NJ. Codding. 1t is alleged that
scarcely had the ceremony begun
when crys of distress came from
without. so inslstent were these aP-
peals for help growing fainter with
each moment that the service was
discontinued temporarily In order to
effect a resuce. Then 1t was that Rev.
Hensley made a record breaking char
acter quick change. emerging from
the Williams door full fledged ply
sician ready for anything from ampu-
tation 10 adhesive plaster. The cry
was located as coming from the rear
yard Of the house next door, and
thither proceeded DR.. Hensley and the
frustrated bridegroom. Serious busi-'
ness awaited their coming. for the
woman of the house had stepped
through an open cistern, and had
been hanging to the ragged edge for
at least fifteen minutes calling for
help. A few minutes longer and she
must have fallen from exhaustion.
The woman was taken to the house
none the worse except dn nervous col
lapse for the danger according to the
verdict OF DR.. Hensley. Another char
acter change and Rev. Hensley
finished the errand which. as an en-
of Cupid, he had undertaken
to perform. But it all goes 10 show
that a man can't have too many pro-
fessions.

ONE BLOW STRUCK
Charles Fletcher Gives His
Version of the Affair.

Charles Fletcher. who was at.

says that so far as he knew, there
was only one lick struck and that
landed on his hat brim.

attack was like lightning out of a

either Fred Issleib or his son had

suddenness of the attack and was no,
prepared to meet my opponent.

never thought of having trouble witt,

Saturday evening. 'If Mr.. Issleib
persists i'm continuing his threats
against me. / will have him placed
under a peace bond. / am law
abiding citizen and / want my fellow
men to treat me as such" concluded
Fletcher
Fletcher does not deny having
worked against Issleib dur
ing the recent primary campaign, but
does deny that he ever called Issleib
a "boodler" or any other unlSind
name.

.A GOOD ROADS MASS MEETING
Citizens of Midlothian Discuss Mat
ter Of Asking for Bond Election.

The citizens of Midlothian and
| vicinity who pay taxes on property
/ held a mass meeting in Midlothian
! Wednesday afternoon at 3 O'Clock
for the purpose OF discussing the
proposition of issuing bonds in JUS
! tice precinct No. 6 for the improve
ment OF the public roads of that
lprecinct. About one hundred and fiji
/ ty citizens attended the meeting and
! the proposition met with enthusias-
! tic endorsemnt
| Judge O. f. Dunlap of WaXahachie
made an able address on the subject
iof good i'oads. He pointed out that
now was a splendid time to begin
this work. The project would not
only give employment to the citizens
! of that precinct whose crops have
! failed, but the construction of good
roads would increase the value of
| ton of property in that precinct was
about 100000 and that tax of
from 10 to ID cents on the $500
worth of property would provide
funds enough TO build from twenty
five to thirty miles of good roads.
G. c. Groce, Esq, of Waxahachie
followed Judge Dunlap with an ex-
cellent address that covered all the
/ legal phases of the proposition. He
explained in detail the operation of
( the new law and made all the tech
nical points so plain that those who
! have the matter in hand will have
no touble in carrying the project
through to successful termination.
He spoke of the value of good roads
to a community, saying among 9TH
er things that in his estimation the
value of land in that precinct would
be increased from $500 to $1,000
per acre Another advantage to the
land owners would be in securing a
better class of renters.
The addresses of Judge Dunlap
and Mr.. Groce were we'll received.
Commissioner Ed Lowe gave a
practical talk along the line of good
roads building NJ. w. Hawkins and
some ten or fifteen other citizens
spoke in favor of the proposition,
while few made short talks in
which they opposed the measure.
Before the meeting adjourned a
vote was taken on the question
Of presenting a petition to the com
missioners' court asking for a bond
election. The proposition was favor
ed by 1870, while eight voted against
il.
A committee of five was appointed
to circulate the petition and present
it to the commissioners court. 1t is
understood that as sCon as the petit
ton is filed with County Judge

that autos are usually purchased for

course, Grit may not take this view
of it; he prefers, no doubt, to see
his farmer friends swinging hoe
or pulling a bell cord over q pillow

for the Mirror, it is DESTROYS of see

please-if they want to be at the
steering wheel of an auto. We'll be
glad to take a ride with them any
day: if they prefer to walk as we
have to, why Wen go with them I'M

Editor Compton of Crawford is
uneouivocaIly opposed to the auto,
and the only reason he assigns for
his opposition is that the auto is no
good for the farmer. The Mirror
does NOT undertake 10 say autos are
not good for farmers, believing they
are to be the Judge of that. But We
do say that if a farmer wishes to
own am auto, that is his business.
There are some people who believe
that farmers have no right to enjoy
life. that they We're made to work
365 days in the year in order that
Others may enjoy the fruits of their
labor. But the Mirror reioices in the
realization that he who tills the soil
lives the best and noblest life, is the
creator OF all wealth, is entitled to
every enjoyment and every priyel-
eye and pleasure that has been pro-
vided by the inventive mind. and if
he wishes to step in the line Of pro-
aress and give his family the pleas
ures of a summer by the seashore, a
vacation in the mountains, or ride
every day in the year in an auto,
that is his business Fact is, the auto
is Just as good for the farmer as
anyone else, and he who denies this
statement insinuates that the farmer
has not sense enough 10 enjoy him
