5000 MILES BY MULE POWER.
J. X. Griffin of Saline Exhibits Ami
mails That Pulled Him to the
Pacific Coast and Back.

Driving a pair of nine year old
mules that pulled covered wagon
in which were loaded a family of
seven with camping utensils, over
mountains, through valleys and
across sandy deserts, to the Pacific
coast and back, travelling distance
of six thousand miles in two years,
j. K. Griffin stopped in front of this
office, Monday, and proudly exhibit
ed them to the Post force. That they
are still full of life was evident. Mrs.
Griffin swung onto the lines as the
animals stood erect with their ears
up, as if eager to bolt for the oppo-
site coast at the first crack of the
whip. Mr.. Griffin says they are not
hurt in the least and he would
not fear to start on another trip with
them, twice as far.
Mr.. Griffin and family arrived in
Saline after the long journey two
weeks ago. They came to this city
Monday to do some shopping. Mrs.
Geo. Dunn of that vicinity accompan-
led them here. :.
1t was two years ago in June that
Mr.. Griffin loaded his family in the
wagon and started from Saline on
the long journey. They went on the
north route trough Iowa, Nebraska,
Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon
down into California. They stopped
enroute to see the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park and other points of in
terest. At Sacramento, Calf, they
stayed a year, and Mr.. Griffin tended
a hop crop. They then went on south
and came back through Arizona, New
Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas, over
the Santa Fe trail.
1t required five months to 60 out
there and four months to come back
With Mr.. and Mrs. Griffin were their
five children. They camped along
the way and had fine trip. The en-
tire party enjoyed good health. The
youngest child, a little boy, was born
in the Sacramento Valley of Califor-
mia, and he is indeed a fine looking

vertising his public sale, which is
about four times the amount usually
spent. The result was that the sale

that it was money well spent. Farm

The Sunday School Institute at the
BAPTIST Church.

The Sunday School Institute held
at the Baptist Church last week was
largely and greatly enjoyed by
many people of all denominations.
The speakers were Secretaries En,z-
minger and Leavell of the Baptist
State Mission Board. The general
theme of the discussions was "The
Graded Sunday School," Every
phase of the subject was discussed
by these men, who are experts in
Sunday school work. As a result of
these discussions 1t was unanim GUS
ly decided by the members of the
Baptist Sunday school to grade
their school, which was done on
Sunday morning by placing all
pupils in their proper departments
and grades and by assigning Super
intendents TO each department and
a number of officers to the definite
work they arc expected to do.
A careful religious census of the
town was also taken on last Thurs
day by the workers of the various
churches cooperating and definite
information of the possibilities of
each Sunday school was gwen to
the respective pastors.
On Friday upon the invitation of
the Baptist Sunday school the work
ers of number of the Baptist Sun
day schools of the county attended
the institute and vThe Muhlenberg
County Baptist Sunday School con-
vention" was organized, which will
hold annual meetings for the stimu-

Negro Man On Rampage.

Jessie Summers a we'll known col
ored man who lives at Earles, is
being very much sought by the Off
GERS of both Muhlenberg and Hop
kins counties, on account of his acts
last Monday, when he visited the
home of Mr.. Will Cardwell, in Hop
kips, and it is said fired several
shots at Mr.. Cardwell and his wife
and a colorcd woman servant; it is
SAID that Summers has for some
time been paying attention to The
servant, but that she recently de-
clined to see him, and he has been
persistent in his efforts to call. Mr..
Cardwell had warned him TO stay
away from his place, but Summers
went back Monday and was equipp-
ed with a pistol to enforce his plea
dings. His unexpected appearance
and quick action in using his gun
threw things in considerable con-
fusion, but Mr.. Cardwell got to his
rifle and fred on Summers as he
was mounting his horse to make
his escape. The horse was hit, but
Summers managed 10 get across the
county line with him. Officers
telephoned from Madisonville to
Sheriff Roll, who dispatched deputy
Robert Wickliffe in an automobile
to Earles, where Summers lives, and
he soon located Summers; that is,
he saw him, but Summers quickly
showed that he had no permanent
place of abode, for he moved with
an ease and speed that indicated the
possession of wings. Mr.. Wicklifie
is some Splinter, himself, having
been the winner of all sorts of med
ais in school contests, but he had
lost 1t all, apparently. and realizing
that he would quickly lose sight of
his man, stopped and fred a few
shots at him. Mr.. Wickliffe de-
clares that he doubts if the bullets
ever caught up with the fleeing OBJ
iect, and Summers is still at large.
This is the first serious trouble in
which Summers has been engaged;
it is not likely that he will long
evade the officers.
