the steering wheel of his automobile
by the barbed wires OF a pasture
fence, Elmer Stage, a young man Is
years old, narrowly escaped death

youth lost control Of his machine and
it crashed from the road into the
fence.
The barbed wire caught young
Stage by the throat and threw him in
to the real seat of the machine. The
automobile ran on to plowed ground
and then stopped. Although bleeding
badly at the neck, the youth man
aged to grasp the wheel and drive to
a neighbours, a few rods distant.
There he tainted when he drove into
the yard. 1t was found that his in
juries, although painful, were not
fatal. Surgeons expressed their sur
prise that his neck was not broken
nor the arteries in his throat severed
in the accident.

Local and Personal Mention
BANQUETTED.

last Saturday evening, 0coee EncamI
ment, |. o. o. F., No, 20, gave banquet
to It's members and few invited guests,
the occasion being a visit rom the Grand
Patriarch of the order, Hon. James Arm
strong, of Nashville.
by 7:30 a goodly number had assembled
in the hall and Grand Marshall NJ L. An
derson, in few weIl-c! osen remarks, intro
duced the speaker.
1t is safe to say that not many of those
present ever had the opportunity before OF
listening to an address such as Mr.. Arm
strong delivered. Combining himself strictly
to the beloved order of which he is so o
spicious member, gave many reasons and
concrete examples why Odd Fellowship
was the largest and most powerful secret
order in existance. His word picture OF
the home for widows and orphans at Clarks-
vile was pathetic one and there were
few present but what felt a deep pride in
the fact that they were Odd Fellows and
participators in the hospitalities being dis
pensed at this home for dependent ones.
Others we're called upon to say few
words, all of which indicated that the adj
dress of the Grand Patriarch had made
deep impression upon them and that many
mental reservations had been made as to
loyalty to the order in the future.
The bano ust wa all that could have been
desired. The tables fairly groaned with
the good things prepared, and Messrs. Hen
sley, Owenby, Smith and O'Kelly proved
themselves adept walters in waiting upon
the guests.
Ocoee Lodge is to be congratulated up
on the success of this occasion and on
behalf of the invited guests we tender it
our hearty thanks for the hospitality

MURDER IN SECOND DEGREE.

That was the verdict of the twelve men
in whose hands the fate of Craig and
Yoder was given.
The case was that in which the defen-

The case was bitterly fought all the way
through. For the state, Attorney-Ceneral
Peace assisted by Messrs. r. NJ Copeland,
Hedden and Adams while the defendants
were represented by Euge WINS and
and John L. Smith.
From what we could learn, the evidence
was not materially different from that
brought out in the preliminary hearing be-
fore Squire Grant Simonds and some sur
prise was manifested that the jury should
have taken so much time in its deliberations.

material that seem in any way to be-

tracted much attention is one of navy

which was laced to fit the figure snug

to fit the lower arm: the collar, too,
was laced to the chin.

When you hear the Tree Toad calling
Be sure that rain will soon be falling.
This is an old saying, but. like a
great many sayings. it is not more than
half true. The fact is StickyToes the
Tree Toad does what most sensible
folks do--sings when he is contented
and happy. And because he is most
comfortable and happy in damp weather
he is very apt to sing when he feels
the air growing moist. as just before
a storm. So lot of people have
foofishly come to believe that he can
actually call up rain. OF course, he
cannot do anything of the kind.
Now. there had been a very long dry
spell, and the grass on the Green Mead
ows was no longer green. but dry and
brown. In the Old Pasture it was still
browner. Even the leaves of the Green
Forest looked dry and sickly. Every
day jolly, bright, round Mr.. Sun
climbed up in the blue, blue sky and
smiled his broadcast. until. instead of
rejoicing at the sight of his smiling
face, the little people of the Green
Meadows and the Green Forest and
the Old Orchard dreaded to see it and

troubled faces at their garden and

was no water for them. In fact, the
weakest ones began to dry and wither
away.
Even the little people in the Smiling

there was so little water coming down
the Laughing Brook that it hardly
laughed at all. and the Smiling Pool
grew smaller and smaller. Every day

they did their best to make it comfort

had to give up.
Every day Peter Rabbit looked eager
ly for rain clouds. but there were
none. Every night he ran over to
the Laughing Brook or the Smiling
