BAD ROADS DID IT.

A farmer old, so we've been told.
With team of horses strong
Drove down the road with heavy
load
While singing his merry song.
But his mirth In song was not 30
long,
For his horses gave leap.
5 As he ran amuck In the mud ne
) stuck
Clear up to his axles deep.
Bad roads did 1t!
And a wheelman gay went out ono
For a joyful morning spin.
With the weather bright. his heart
was light
As he left the country inn.
But he went not far when he felt
Which started his troubles and
2 cares.
He was laid up i'll. while the doc
tors bill
Came in with the one for repairs.
Bad roads did It!
In an automobile Of wood and steel
A millionaire prim and neat
Went out for ride by the rivers
side
In style that was hard to beat.
But. alas, he found that the broken
ground
And the ruts and the holes 10
great
Had smashed a wheel Of his auto
mobile.
What he said we cannot relate.
Bad roads did 1t!

MRS. WILCOX IS
BURNED TO DEATH
IN CREENBRIER VICINITY
CLOTHING IGNITED FROM RED
HOT STOVE-HOUSE AND
CONTENTS DESTROYED.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
A horrible tragedy happened near
Greenbrier yesterday morning. Mrs.
Audrey Wilcox, wife of Jesse Wilcox,
was alone in her home when her cloth
ing ignited from a red-hot stove. She
tried to put out. the fire in the house,
and failing in this, with rare presence
of mind, she ran out in the yard and
rolled in the snow to smother the
flame, but was so terribly burned that
death resulted in a few hours. She
was found by the mail carrier, who
gave the alarm and kind neighbors
were soon summoned to her. The in
jured woman asked to be carried to
the home of her father, Edward Law
renee. She was placed on a cot and
carried there, where death soon re-
leased her from her awful sufferings..
The burial will be at Spring Hill GEM
etery this afternoon.
Mrs. Wilcox was 23 years of age
and had been married only one year.
She was splendid young woman who
numbered her friends by scores, and
much sympathy is felt for her hus-
band and relatives over her tragic and
untimely DEATH. AS the neighbors
We're carrying Mrs. Wilcox to her
fathers home, they looked back and
saw that the Wilcox home was in
flames, and later found the house and
contents were entirely consumed by
fire.
