Delbert Markham, the e~leven-year
boy of Delbert Markham, of Chloride,
south of Ironton, died Tuesday morn
ing from injuries received by being
struck by a base ball the Thursday
previous. Delbert was catching be-
hind the bat when the ball slipped
through his fingers and struck him in
the pit of the stomach. He com
planned a little at the time, but it was
not thought he was seriously hurt. A
day or two later, however, the pain
increased, and he began vomiting and
passing blood. 1t seemed impossible
to afford him any relief and the little
fellow passed away Tuesday morning.
The family have much sympathy in
their sorrow.
The following is reproduced from a
bulletin issued by the U. s. Depart
ment of Agriculture in reference to
Hog Raising: "a poor pig is not
worth raising or feeding. Your pigs
should be sired by a good ~purebred
Hampshire, Berkshire, or Poland
China boar. After you have decided
which of the three you want, stick to
the same breed and in a little while
you will have pigs which are very
much alike, a model for others, and
an advertisement for your commun-
ity. If you can afford it, start with
good grade sows. If not, natives (ra-
zorbacks) will do. White pigs should
not be used in the south, as they sun
burn badly"
The Fort Hill Church, Arcadia, and
the M. E. Church, Ironton, have
united their forces and will in future
be under one head. The Fort Hill folk
have bought the Ironton church and
parsonage, paying therefor $1,000. A
pastor assigned by the Southern M.
E. Conference, will administer to
both charges in the future. Rev. DR..
Powers, who has been the pastor of
the M E. Church the past two years,
will leave this week for his former
home in Kansas. Arrangements for
the consolidation have been in pro-
gress for some time and those most
interested announce themselves as
delighted at the final outcome.
