death of John II. McAdoo, aged so,
general agent of Hawley railroad
lines in this city. Tonight he is in
critical condition in the South Side
Hospital with a gashed scalp, a crush
ed hip and a broken leg, caused by
falling from his bedroom window
while aslssp to the pavement.
Mr.. MoAdos was or0ssins Fifth
avenue yesterday Afternoon when a
honking automobile behind oaused
him to Jump suddenly His activity
saved him.
He retired at his usual hour. but
arose once from a troubled sleep.
That is the last he remembers with
the exception Of dreaming OF a big
touring car was bearing down upon
him. The machine of the nightmare
was horrifying and distorted and he
says he remembered jumping in a
desperate effort to save his life.
Physicians suppose McAdoo was
walking in his sleep while dreaming
and unconsciously raised his window
and jumped out.

without repairs as the best
of them. When repairs
are needed the cost of putting
a FORD in shape is but a small
fraction of that of overhauling

and reasonable charges for parts.
Do not be deceived into thinking the
FORD Is cheap car in anything but price.
1t is small car but a good one, a car large
enough for the average mans needs and one
so scientifically designed and constructed as
to give its owner service and satisfaction
equal to that obtained by owners of high
priced cars. and at a cost of operation and
maintenance that is not burden to the ordin-
airy man. Were man of moderate means to
be given a 100000 seventy horse power

new DIRECTORY
IS NOW ASSURED
FOR THE CITY
CANVASS TO Be SUCCESSFUL
In Opinion Of Representative
Here

That Americas will have a new city
directory this year seems now practi-
cally assured, at least, such was the
announcement made by Mr.. Jerome
Lennox, representative of the R. l..
Polk Publishing Company, who has
been in the city several days looking
after preliminary canvass for the
purpose of securing support to issue
the new directory
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Lennox that
he has sounded the opinion of the
business men of the city well enough
to know that they will support the
issuance of new directory. While
he did not secure more than half
enaugh of subscriptions while he was
here to insure the publication of the
directory, it is his belief that the re-
naming amount may readily be Sc
cured later.
Mr.. Lennox left yesterday for Cor
dele, where he will undertake a pre-
liminary canvass. He will go later to
Valdosta, where he has already com
pleted a canvass for a new directory
BY working in these towns in connec-
ton with his work here, he will be
enabled to reduce the expenses at
tached to the issuance of the directory
in places of this size and smaller

The Parker cantaloupe farm of forty
or fifty acres, one mile north of the

grown cantaloupes very successfully

looms up handsomely and the earlier
varieties, along with plums, will soon
