A narrow escape from death by
lightning was reported Sunday night
to the Press man at this pace. II
seems that as Mrs. Dave White was
on her way home from church and
while ascending the hill leading to-
wards east bench, the storm, that
was lowering, broke loose and the
shaft Of electricity struck the rig,
the horse and burning Mrs.
White severely. Her injuries while
not serious. will cause her much
loss of time.
Last Sunday morning, two weeks
ago, while preparing a meal for a
number of guests, Mrs. Porter Mitch
ell attempted to remove a steaming
coffee pot from the top of the stove
and place it upon the warming oven
fnd In doing SO she failed to lift
fhe pot high enough and the bottom
pr it struck the edge of the oven
IN such a manner that the boiling
was turned out upon her head
and a scolding her in a most SER
1ous way. She has been confined to
her bed for most of the time and

The Anannias club, at it's last re-
gular meeting, after attending to
the regular routine of business, re-
ceived a communication from Prince
Jim lance covering his experiences
during an auto trip to the Falls
and return. Jim states that he left
the garage at 8 a. N. with 2 passen-
gers who had to cacth the morn
ing train going east. He (Jim) got
to the Falls fully half an hour be-
fore the train arrived, it being on
time, at 1926. This means a recor
bit of driving over these roads as
Jim attained, at times, the speed of
p miles an hour. Mr.. Lance was at
home for an early dinner.
The settlement of Neeley sent a
few of the choice beauties of that
locality to t~antalize the touch-me-
nots, of Rockland, in a prize win
ming game of ball. The Den man is
still using a rake to get the balls
back into the field that the game
may be finished. The game was re
cessed at $50 so the pitchers could
have a rest. The change in po-
sitions of players in the Rockland
team showed an improvement in the
outfield work and the change of
Talcott to third base makes him a
much better man than in enter. S.
Weber, pitcher for the Medley boys
was just a slight bit off, yet he
held the n hill through all of nine
innings, allowing only 81 hits and
errors galore on the part of his sup
porters. The tally markes looked
funny, Rockland %, Neeley Z.
One of the fair h-omesteaders of
this place and n who occasionally
becomes homesick, concluded TO de-
part from the ordinary and have a
flower garden as her ma used to
have. So she toiled and raked the
ground as she remembered TO have
seen her pa do. When these pre-
liminaries were completed she ran
sacked several bags and boxes in
search of some seeds that mama
had so carefully tied up in different
colored calico TO obviate any mis-
takes and so it was that. an an
eient piece of cloth contained sweet
peas and another nasturtium seed
The sowing of seed was accom-
plished in straight rows. After W
eral days of anxious watching tiny
little green spikes appeared through
little green spiklee appeared through
the ground and caused many happy
thoughts to arise for some of these
were destined to decorate a brides
cake and furnish the groom with a
bouquet, but alas, like all pleasant
dreams, the sweet peas have proven
to be cabbage and the other plant
lets are but turnips. Too bad, so 1t
is.
