From the Battle Front.

Thornton Carson is a son OF the
late Morris Carson deceased who
a few years ago went to Canada
from st. Paul. When the war
broke out in Europe, Thornton
went with the Canadian troops
to help the Allies and in the ter
rible fight at Ypres in April, he
almost lost his life by the poison
gas dealt them by the Germans.
His company was almost entire
ly annihilated. In a letter
to his uncle I. Erskine Carson of
Baltimore, under date of July
Both, Thornton writes that he
has almost recovered from the
effects of the gas, and that when
he next goes into battle, he and
his comrades will be supplied
with cloth helmets that have
glazed eye holes, and will also
have respira tors-both for pro-
lection against the gas. He said
that the soldiers receive good
food and plenty of it. To
keep the field camp hospital
secure against attack, parties are
sent out in turn to dig trenches
as soon as they have recovered
sufficiently to work. He expect
ed his turn to come soon. The
letter contained acknowledge
ment of many little luxuries sent
him by home folks. But these
extras do not always reach the
boys when they are far to the
front and in the thick of the
fight.

Thrown From Buggy.

Thursday, July 9th, while Mr..
and Mrs. j. S. Mort, of Clear
Ridge were driving to Maddens-
vile, their horse frightened at a
dead buzzard lying in the road
on Mullen Hill. The animal
wheeled" in the narrow road
and started back up the hill. In
turning, the buggy was partly
tipped over, throwing the occu-
pants out. Mr.. Mort held to the
lines and succeeded in turning
the horse into a pine thicket
stopping it after running a short
distance. Mrs. Mort escaped with
few scratches, but Mr.. Mort
was considerably bruised, and cut
about the face. One shaft pene-
trated the horse behind the
shoulder when the harness gave
way making an ugly wound. A
basket of eggs carried in the
buggy was "a perfect mess"
DR.. R. B. Campbell picked up the
unfortunate parties and took
them home in his auto. Mr..
Mort was confined to the house
for several days. He seems to be
unfortunate, for only recently he
was thrown from a load of grain
an severely bruised.

Short Sketches Of the Lives Of Per.
SONS Who Have Recently
Passed Away.
MRS. ELIZA MICHAELS.


Mrs. Eliza Michaels, mention
Of whose illness has been made
in the NEWS, died at the home of
her son-in-law and daughter Mr..
and Mrs. Geo. w. Hays, Thurs
day evening, July 5, 1915. Her
remains were taken to the family
home in Everett and the funeral
conducted by Rev. Cole, of the
NJ. E. Church, was held on Sun
day and interment was made in
the Everett cemetery.
As has been previously told in
the NEWS, Mrs. Michaels came
to McConnellsburg from her home
in Everett on Saturday, July 10,
and stood the trip remarkably
well. The following Thursday af-
ternoon while in conversation
with her oldtime friend Mrs.
Elizabeth Fisher Woollet, she
was stricken with paralysis, and
was practically helpless from that
time until the end came three
weeks later.
Grandmother" Michaels as
she was affectionately known by
slarge circle of friends, was the
Oldest and last surviving member
Of the family of John and Louisa
Kee Keepers. Not long after
the Revolutionary War, the pa
ternal grandfather of Mrs. Mich
aes, pushed his way across the
Tuscarora mountain from the east
ern part of Pennsylvania, and op-
ened up a clearing and developed
what was known years ago as the
Keepers farm along the State
Road in Taylor township, and
now owned by the Meliuses. The
grandfather was accidentally kill
ed by a falling limb while at
work in the woods. With the
passing away of Mrs. Michaels
all of her fathers family are
gone. Mrs. Michaels, the Oldest
child, was born on the goth of
November, 1922, and hence was
aged 92 years, 8 months and 16
days.
The deceased was the widow
Of Samuel Michaels, who served
as sheriff of Fulton county from
1853 to 1856. About thirty years
ago, with her daughters Sadie,
Maggie and Alice, she removed
from McConnellsburg to Everett,
where she spent the remainder
Of her days. She is survived by
the following children, namely
Miss Sadie, Miss Alice, and Miss
Maggie at home; Louisa, wife of
James H. Irwin, Washington, D.
e.; Emma, wife of David S. Sni-
der, Peoria, ILL.,; Jennie, wife of
leo. W. Hays, McConnellsburg,
"a, and Hoyt, Swissvale, Pa.

to-date buildings and will, when
built, reflect credit upon the
school boards in whose admins
tration they will be constructed.
Our examinations at the be-
ginning of the year were more
rigid than previously. As a re-
suit we had only enough licensed
teachers to fill the schools. This
eliminated what otherwise would
have been low grade certificates
and gave US as a result eighty
two teachers having the best
qualifications of those who came
before us for examination.
The County Institute held the
week beginning November 80,
1914, was we'll attended and ell
icited many favorable comments.
The instructors were both enter
tanning and practical and did
much to create higher ideals in
the teachers and to stimulate
them to greater activity in their
respective school work.
Notwithstanding the inclem-
ency of the weather, the Annual
Directors Convention was a sue
cess. A fair percentage of the
directors was present. The dis
cussions were interesting and all
present went away feeling prof
tied by this annual gathering.
The percentage of attendance
of the schools of the county was
good, yet we are sorry to say
that some boys and girls-a part
of whom are under the require
ments of the Compulsory School
Law were not in attendance at
any school during the year.
Our schools are all supplied
with modern furniture and nearly
all have slate black-boards, but
still a few poor k-boards are
found in the county. These
should be displaced before anoth-
er term of school begins.
Nearly every school in the
county has an American flag GALL
have had but we are sorry to say
that in some instances it was not
floated. We sincerely request
every teacher who has been en-
ployed for the ensuing term to
unfurl the flag in such a way as
to comply with the conditions of
the School Code.
AS to sanitation we found con-
ditions good in many places but
there are other places in which
great improvements can be made
along this line. In the care of
the walls and the floors of school
buildings and the stoves and gen.
eral conditions of cleanliness, in
wall decorations and in window
shades, not only is there room
for Improvement but in some
places urgent need for it.
In my visits sought to impress
upon teachers the sanitary and
aesthetic needs of the school
room, and urged upon teachers
to improve them in every way
possible.
In this report, desire to ex-
press my sincere thanks and
highest appreciation to patrons,
directors, and teachers, and es-
pecially to the Department of
Public Instruction for the much
needed help given, and to all
others in sympathy with educa-
tional work for their hearty sup
port and cooperation for which
support | am placed under a
great many obligations.
Respectfully,

County Superintendent,
