DEATH RESULTS

SUIT OF FALLING FROM AN

Frank Kennedy, who fell from an
apple tree last week, died on Monday
from the effects of the fall. Mr..
Kennedy resided at Dodson's Gap on
the line between Maury and Giles
counties, and was member Of a
well known family. He married a
daughter of the late Riley Dodson.
The remains were inferred at Lynn
vile today.
Mr.. Kennedy's death was a great
surprise and shock to the family and
friends. When he fell from the ap-
pie tree last week he thought little
of his injuries although he sustained
rather severe bruises. It is evident,
however, that he was much more Sc
riously hurt than he thought for he
began to complain on Sunday of In
tense pains, due 1t is supposed from
internal injury. He died on Monday

William Fry and Clearance Fry re-
turned yesterday afternoon from
Huntsville in their Buick Model 16
equipped with Zilio Tire Filler
They travelled distance Of over
275 miles without the slightest acct.
dent over rough roads as well as good
roads and through creeks and over
mountains.
Their car was entered In the con-
test as No. 81, which left Nashville
at 1920, stopping As minutes at MUIR
freesboro and Shelbyville, and they
were the first car 70 reach Fayette.
Vile, distance of S6.5 miles, and ar
rived at that control at 1922. They
checked out OF Fayetteville at 2:27h
p. m. and travelled the remaining 81
miles in / hour stu minutes. making
the total distance of ITS miles in 8
hours 14k minutes, being the third
contesting car to enter Huntsville.
The prizes were awarded to those
making the average time. This aver.
age was reached by getting the bal
ance between the first car to arrive
and the last car to arrive, and rs Fry
Bros. had no trouble with punctures
and blow outs they were not delayed
in making speedy trip.
All along tn route there was a
great deal Of interest displayed in
Zilio, and at every stop crowds gath
cred to examine the care and to see
what effect such trip was having
on the filler. ]
Without single stop on the reads,
and without even an examination OF
the tires the Buick drove right on TO
the finish, passing cars with air I'LL
ed tires all along the road with punct-
ures and blow outs.
A more perfect trip could hardly be
possible.
They left Huntsville on their re-
