NARROW ESCAPE FROM
DEATH BY LIGHTNING

Lightning struck the post oak

past one o'clock last Friday, the
Dist inst, says the Bonnie Register,
and left the trunk of the mammoth
old tree a bunch of kindling wood.
Mrs. Pigg, who was in the kitchen,
received severe shock and fell in
a semi-cnnscious condition. Re-
alizing the probable danger OF the
house being struck and set on fire,
she crawled to the front door and
was seen by Mrs. Barban, who was
in their store ACROSS the street Mrs.
Barban called and Mrs. Pigg was
only able to raise her hand. No
one else was in the house. A physi-
cian was Immediately called Eand at
this time Mrs. Pigg has recovered
her voice and seems to be recover

All the front windows and door
panes of the Pigg home were shat.
tered. The large plate glass front
of the City Bakery was smashed.
The tree crumpled up and fell
across the iron fence and wire poles
breaking two poles off level with
the ground.
Miss Myrtle LaBruyere was on
the side walk carrying an umbrella
over her. She had on rubber heels
and this probably saved her life.
Her umbrella hand felt the shock
and the umbrella slipped through
her hand. Other than the scare re-
ceived, the tremendous report made
all who happened to be near by
nearly jump out OF their skins.
Miss LaBruyere escaped enterely.
The tree was nearly four feet in
diameter and the first 10 feet OF the
trunk is so shattered that 1t beggars
description.

" HE new school of turkey trot-
ting has brought into existence
two groups of rabid partisans;
those who do the dance and know how
jolly is the dancing, and those who
look on and see how shocking is the
prancing. And meanwhile turkey
trotting is so earnestly done that it
seems in fair way to be done to
death-and a falloW field for humorists
will thus become sterile and barren Of
little jokes like the famous: ''She is
more trotted against than trotting"
In this age of specialization, tur-
key trotting is not sufficiently spe-
cialiZed, and every little freak step
that wriggles its way into life mas
querades under the one name or that
of some barnyard or menageric reIa-
