make fresh enterprise necessary and
also make it very difficult by leaving

big and little, lie within the field of
credit. We know that. Shall we not
act upon the knowledge? Do we not
know how to act upon it? If man
cannot make his assets available at
pleasure, his assets of capacity and

that it will Immediately need it more

GEORGE NJ. SCOTT, Addison road,
Riverside, uncle of Mrs. Smith and a

Descriptions of the accident, vary
ing in details, we're one as to the hor-

to the occupants of the automobile,
when it tried to cross the tracks
ahead of the heavily laden elevated
train, running at this point on the
ground, and crowded with persons re-
turning frcm picnics in Forest Park
amusement resorts.
The automobile went down into
crumpled mass before the onslaught
of the electric train ans was rolled
and crushed and twisted for nearly
200 feet with it's occupants entangled
within. They were ground to an un-
recognizable pulp.
Scores of persons who saw the acci'
| dent were bitter in criticism of all en-
| ployes of the railroad who were con.
! cerned in the accident The criticisms
affected the motorman and conductor
of the death-carrying train; watchmen
who either were not there or who
were called inactive and of represen.
tatives of the railroad who were called
to the scene later.

tile and its business blocks are
modern and up-to-da in appear
auce. The population inside the
city limits will comenear the 10, 900
mark. This population is now
made up almost equally of north
ern and southern people. Inter-
marriage has completely obIiterat-
ed all sectional feeling. The war
veterans of both sides meet and
work together IN the most har-
monious manner possible. Each
side has its camp of veterans and
IT'S regular meetings, besides or
yanizatons of the Women's Re-
lief corps and the Daughters of
the Confederacy.
This being the only city in the
United States built by northern
people on southern soil and occu-

jefferson Davis was captured after
the evacuation Of and flight from
Richmond, mark it as the only
perfect site for a national peace

another name for the TOMB, the
