Narrow Escape from Death.

Galen, the ten-year-old son of Circuit
Clerk Roy G. White had very narrow
escape Wednesday from instant death.
The little fellow was riding a bicycle
near the overhead bridge, on the out
skirts of the city, when a carriage
loaded with people ran over him,
Literally burying him in the dust Of the
street. Galen, who was taking his
first lessons on his wheel, came up the
street, and the writer, who was one Of
the occupants Of the vehicle, realized
the boy had not mastered control of the
bicycle, and suggested to the driver to
give plenty Of road Reaching the side
Of the horse Galen lost control Of the
wheel and darted under the animal,
striking it in the body which caused
the horse to plunge forward, knocking
the little fellow beneath the wheels OF
the carriage. Fortunately when the
horse dashed forward it jumped over
Galen and thus saved him from being
crushed to death. Notwithstanding
both wheels Of the heavy vehicle passed
over the body Of the little fellow h
escaped with few severe bruises, ano
is none the worse for his exciting ane
] dangerous experience.

Boost The Madison Poultry
Show.

Secretary j. B. Walker, of the Madi-
son County Poultry Association, assures
The Climax that the exhibition Of
poultry in this city in December will
exceed the expectations of the most
optimistic chicken fanciers of the
county. Over fifteen hundred dollars
will be given away in premiums, and
these handsome cash prizes will
bring to this city the very best fowls in
this and other states. Secretary Walker
has sent a letter TO number of our
citizens requesting their cooperation
and influence in making the first
poultry exhibition in this city a grand
success, which interest at this time
indicates it will be. The letter mailed
out by Mr. Walker reads as follows:

County Poultry Show the success il
should be, we need the cooperation and
assistance of every poultry fancier in
this and adjoining counties. For several
weeks past we have been at work
preparing the premium list which will

that the Association is leaving no stones
unturned in order to make the exhibition

offered will attract to the Madison
County Show the finest assortment Of
