When residents OF this city saw a
horse and surrey speeding down
Fourth street at a terrible rate last
Saturday evening they had no thought
whatever of the successful escape of
all occupants of that conveyance who
were Joe Cunningham, his sister. Mrs.
Ben Hawks and her year old baby
and Miss May Helmick. The horse
was entirely beyond control OF the
young man of the party who was driv-
ing and no one could see how Mrs.
Hawks could possibly escape alive
with her baby. Many ran out after
the rig hoping to be able to do some
thing for the party but were soon dis
tanced and gave up the chase in dis
pair Then the horse suddenly
swerved to the right in front OF the
John Reilly residence at the corner of
Fourth and Palmer streets, and ran
into a big tree.
All were closely watching their op-
portunity to leap from the rig and
when the shafts struck the tree they
were on their way to the ground with
Mrs. Hawks holding firmly to her
baby and doing all that she could TO
protect it from contact with the
ground or any other object that might
cause an injury. And the result Of
this care was that Mrs. Hawks was
badly cut about the head and limbs
and for few moments following the
accident it was feared that her in
juries were of a very serious nature
She was carried into the Reilly home

I think this condition will be chang

There seems TO be much fact IN the
foregoing statement With bridges
and road work and many other things
to LOOK after in a large county, aside
from the regular routine OF business,
il is not fair that county commits

more Of this work for nothing; yet if
he fails TO do this. under present laws,
he will probably neglect much that
needs attention and would be consid-
cred failure as a county commits

In regard to other legislation effect

wherein each county, by paying the
state interest upon uncollected taxes,
may have its insane cared for at the
expense of the state, instead of at the

Grand Mesa Lakes.

In speaking of this splendid resort
and of certain statements published
regarding the road being built and the
fish in the lakes Dr. Miller said 20
an Independent reporter yesterday:
THE contract for the completion Of
the last part Of the road early in July
is being pushed by double the number
of men thought necessary to do the
work, and stock sales conditioned on
its being completed by that date have
been subscribed, so there is really no
doubt about the road being completed
on time.
"As to the amount of fish in the
lakes, they are fairly well stocked,
though. of course. not so highly stock
ed as we expect to have them. At the
time when one or two fishermen com
plain of poor luckk and overfed fish,
the rainbows were being spawned and
the season was too early for good
brook trout fishing to be expected"
II is the intention Of the Resort com
pany to make of Grand Mesa lakes,
one OF the finest summer resorts to
be found in the mountain regions, for
there are few II any more attractive
spots. It is our home outing place,
and those who are conducting improve
ments would appreciate the encourage
ment which they feel they deserve in
newspaper articles, II any are pub

CHAUTAUQUA OPENS AT BLUE RIDGE
Greeted by CroDd Estimated at More
Than 1, 500.

The Blue Ridge Chautauqua opened last
Sunday in the Baptist auditorium at that
place under the most favorable auspice.
The weather was ideal for such gather
ing and this fact was taken advantage of by
one the largest throngs ever seen in Blue
Ridge.
A. w. Beeler made the opening address
and outlined what had been done to pro-
vide entertainment for visitors and promised
on behalf of the people of Blue Ridge that
nothing would be left undone that would
conduce to the comfort of her visitors.
At IL o'clock, Rev. F. C. Mcconnell, of
Fort Worth, Texas, preached the opening
sermon. Rev. Mcconnell is an old Geor-
gia boy, having been raised in Towns
county, and the large crowd that had as
sembled to hear him, attested to the love
and esteem with which he is held.
He took for his text Deuteronomy xxi;
IL, and for more than an hour held his
audience as if under SPELL He has that
magnetism that draws all to him coupled
with pleasing appearance and his future
sermons will be looked sorward to with
eagerness.

A SERIOUS FIRE.
eagerness.

The cry of fire, about $50, Friday
evening brought out almost the entire
population of Ducktown to the scene.
The wash and storage house of E. S.
S. Wallace was in flames and only prompt
assistance of the volunteer hose company
prevented his dwelling from being des-
troyed.
The origin of the fire is mystery, so
far as we could find out, and will probably
remain so.
In the house was stored the family's
winter clothing and other things not needed
and the loss will be quite heavy.
An automobile that Mr.. Wallace was re-
pairing was taken out of the building but
the upholstery was pretty badly burned.
Since the above was written, we lea
that the loss will reach 5000, without
dollar of Insurance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace, through this pa
per, desire to thank the people OF Duck
town for The prompt assistance given in
preventing the spreading of the fire. Also
to those kindly neighbors who came with
their offers of help when it was needed.
Their thoughtfulness will always be re-
membered.

WAR HAS REACHED DUCKTOWN.

Quite number of letters addressed to
foreigners of different nationalities have
been received at the Ducktown postoffice,
but Postmaster Arlington has had trouble
in delivering them.
They are from vice-consuls and probably
contain demand that the addresses pre-
pose to repair to the old country to do
buttle in the war now going on.
So far, all of the letters, but one, have
been refused and the one receiving the
letter has not been seen since.
