Wrecked Cincinnatti
On B. & O. Train, Near Park
\


On B. & O. Train, Near Park
ersburg, w. Va, Thursday.
Arrived in CINCINNATI this
morning after the big storm and
teh city was almost panic strick-
Ell over the loss of life and prop
erty. Reports of disaster were
coming in from all directions.
! tried to hear from Missouri,
but the wires were all down. The
train in front Of ours was blown
! off the track and several people
killed, but we fortunately escap-
ed. 1t would seem as though
storms were more prevalent
than usual all over the country
this year.
From what | can see and hear,
crops Of all kinds in every part
of this country are much better
than the average and some will
be record-breakers. The ex-
ception to this rule is the corn
on fiat lands suffering from
weeds and grass. | saw few
fields Of corn in Missouri that
were being choked with weeds
and too wet to plow. Corn on
rolling" ground never looked
better. If these crops can all be
| harvested and sold at good
price, we should again have
prosperous times in the country.
If we have to fed the world,
1.-THE price is bound to be higher
than usual. Of course we will
always hear the cry of "hard
| times" from some people, no
matter how big crops are grown
or how high prices are paid.
They won't have anything to sell
because they won't work. Thank
goodness we only have few
chronic kickers and knockers
around Mexico who won't work
and don't want to see anybody
prosper. OF course one knocker
makes a lot Of noise, but that's
all.
| am more impressed this year
than ever with the permanent
J good roads being built every
where, clear across the country.
: If Mexico wants to stay on the
good road map, we must get
! busy. The purchase Of a Jumbo
grader was a move in the right
direction, and we must keep
moving. There is going to be q
rock road across Missouri and we
,. want it. There is no improve
. ment more beneficial to a farm
2 ing community than permanent
e good roads. That's the way tc
:, make Mexico a city.

EFFORT TO RESCUE MISS
ROBINSON WAS FUTILE
Several Companions in Wading With
her Made an Effort to Save II
Year old Girl
UNDER WATER HOUR AND HALF
Was Preparing to Leave River When
she Stepped Into IL Foot Hole
and Sank to Bottom.

The drowning Of II year old Lille
Robinson on the farm of ]. W. Peck,
near Moline. late Tuesday afternoon,
is one of the saddest accidents to shock
this city for several years. At one
time two of Miss Robinson's compan-
ions had hold Of her and it appeared
as If she might be saved but her strug-
giles endangered the life of those who
went to her aid and they were forced
to let go of the drowning girl to save
their own lives.
Miss Robinson, with three sons and
daughter of D. NJ. Slonaker were in
wading. Mrs. Slonaker's eldest
daughter. who was sitting on the bank
suggested they had been in the water
long enough and had better come to
shore. AS Miss Robinson started to-
ward the bank she STEPPED into a hole
IL feet deep and Immediately sank to
the bottom. Two of the boys went to
her assistance and caught hold of her.
She struggled so hard in her efforts
to keep above the water that she was
gradually drawing the boys into the
hole.
To save themselves they we're for
ced to release their hold on her. She
remained under water an hour and
half before her body was recovered.
Miss Robinson was the daughter Of
Mrs. ]. H. Robinson, Of this city. She
leaves the following sisters and broth
ers, Mrs. J. w. Peck, Mrs. VIM. Blair,
Miss Sallie Robinson, of st. Louis;
Homer, of Slater; Wallace of Iowa.
She was splendid young woman, well
thought Of by everyone and her death
casts gloom over host of warm and
admiring friends. Miss Robinson
would have been a Senior at McMil-
Ian High School next year.
The funeral services will be held at
the home of J. W. Peck north of
Mexico at nine thirty Thursday morn
ing by The Rev. A. A. Wallace. The
remains will be inferred in Elmwood.
Claud Slonaker, Homer Baker, Roy

and Taylor Dowell will be the pail
