A Close Call.

On last Thursday our old friend
James Woodal, Sr., narrowly
escaped an accident which might
have cost him his life. His son
Will Is tenant far mer on the Jared
Pittman farm south Of town, and
James was down helping to get
the corn IN. A four horse wagon
was being used and the team had
just stopped at pile in the field,
when James stepped up to begin
picking the corn into the basket.
1t happened that he was just in
the rear of the Off side lead
horse, and the animal kicked
striking Mr.. Woodal on the head
above the right eye inaloting an
ugly cash an inch or more IN
length. Had it not been for a
heavy wool hat which he was
wearing he would doubtless have
been killed outright, tor hole
was cut through the hat by the
horses shoe.

Halloween.

While there was no special
street demonstration Monday
evening, there was quite a little
band Of mummers, In costumes
that were decidedly in keelng
with the occasion, and to the
credit of the boys, there was
absence of the usual mlschlevous
conduct. Old and young, alike,
enjoyed the evening. One of the
most unique social events 10 this
town for long tune however was
Halloween party at the home
of County Treasurer and Mrs.
Charles B. Stevens. The para
phernalia included the latest 1911
models Partisan ghosts, and the
male mem bers were made to feel
a decidedly creepy sensation as
they, one by one, were introduced
into the weird dimly lighted ghost
inhabited halls. This was atoned
for later in the evening by the
hostess serving a generous guam
tity of good old fashioned ginger
bread and fresh sweet cider.

During the summer of 1857,
Maj. Mellott ordered all the mill.
tary of the county to report at
Saluvla on a certain day for drill,
Inspection and review. On that
day l received my first lesson IN
military tactics IN ranks of the
Fulton RiHemen.
The command of the battalion
was turned over to Joseph S.

company organized about 1920.
In 1858, Maj. Mellott ordered US

In obedience to his orders, we re-

The young Rihemen never for.

recall it now when few of them
come together. o, those glorious
old time battalion drills! None
of those who had part IN them
can ever forget them. People
didn't think of working on bat
talllon day, but turned out to
witness the drill and surely those
Fulton County boys knew how to
do that thing. They delighted
and gloried in 1T.
The company drill days, once
IN two weeks or ottener, in
spring, summer and autumn
were important occasions, but
the annual battalion drill day
transcribed all others in inter-
