Kicked by q Mule.

James Ramsey, of the firm of Ram
sey & Kelley, hog buyers of Van
Vert, who lives ono and half miles
northwest Of here, was kicked in the
stomach MonGay morning ty EcCie.
MI. Ramsey was doing t;Ae chores,
and Mrs. Ramsey had called him TO
breakfast. He had started to the
house when the dog ran up and bit
the mule, the animal whirling and
kicking, striking Mr.. Ramsey ir the
breast, knocking the breath complete
ly from him. Upon recovering slffic-
iently, he managed to get into the
house and told his wife what had
happened. She insisted on calling
the doctor, but he opposed the idea,
and said he would be alright in a few
minutes. He urged Mrs. Ramse.' to
sit down and eat her breakfast, and
she had just sat down, when Mr..
Ramsey showed signs OF weakening.
The numbness of the shock was leav-
ing and the pain was so intense and
the pain was so great he was almost
wild.
DR.. Phelps was called and rushed
to the home and gave relief.
The latest report from the Ramsey
home is Mr.. Ramsey is doing as we'll
as could be expected, but it will be
some time before he will be out
about his duties.-Van Vert Path

DRAINAGE DISTRICT.
Farmers of Western Mercer County
and Eastern Harrison Will Dig
New River 10 Miles Long.

One effect of the floods this sea-
son has been to destroy the crops on
practically 10000 acres of rich bot
tom land, along Thompson river and
| the owners of the land are preparing
! to straighten the river and drain the
land so that it will not happen again.
A meeting of those interested was
held at Gainesville some time ago,
and they requested Commissioner J.
H. Nolen, of the state department of
land reclamation, for an opinion in
the matter. Mr.. Nolen went over
the territory and then called a meet
| ing of the farmers, told that it would
be entirely practical and also gave an
estimate of the probable cost. The
land owners then appointed a COM
| mittee to run the outside boundary
line, select name for the district,
determine the number of years the
district should be incorporated for,
employ an attorney to draft articles
/ of incorporation, etc. This commit
tee is now at work and have been
for some time, and their attorney, F.
D. Lawhead, expects to have the dis
trict Incorporated at the January
term of the Harrison county circuit
court. 1t is proposed to begin near
Akron, in Harrison county, and ex-
tend to the southwestern part of
Mercer county, making a ditch about
IS miles long. The district will in
clude about 5000 acres of Mercer
county land and about 10000 acres
in Harrison county. The probable"
cost to the farmers in the district is
estimated at 81 per acre. The larg->
est landowners of Mercer county in
the proposed district are Gotlieb

SANDER.

Many hearts have been saddened,
many lives filled with gloom, much
pain, remorse and agony caused by
just one word of SANDER. Some COAT
ed tongues backed by an impure
heart whispers the base accents. Oh,
| if it could rest here. But no, an
eager ear catches the vile words and
ready lips repeat it. There are many
persons who are ready to believe
every scandal report they hear and
as they are lovers Of gossip they can't
rest while in possession of any untold
scandals. So no matter how much
sorrow accompanies the telling of
these scandalous reports they tell all
they know about 1t as soon as they
can find listening ear.
Many young men who started out
to live honest, sober lives have had
their prospects ruined, their hopes
blighter and been led to ruin by some
vile SANDER, and tongue cannot tell
the ruin, bitter anguish and heart
rending suffering brought on young
girls by some foul mouthed fiend in
human shape peddling bits of scan
dial. These scandal messengers are
merciless set of beings. They have
no feelings for others woes but are
always ready to slay and kill those
who chance to come within their
reach. II those who have erred at
tempt to forsake the path of errors
and lead better life, these demons
laugh at their attempts and kick
thew down and out as unfit to live
in the world. How much less suffer-
ing and anguish there would be in
the world If instead of repeating
each scandal we hear we would put
into practice that charity,
That finds excuse for others sins,
And covers not it's own.

There was very appreciable in
crease in the Sunday school and sew
eral new members welcomed into the
school. However, there is room for
many more and many there are in
Leon who ought to be in Sunday
school.
At the Young Peoples social-busi-
ness meeting last Thursday evening,
the efficiency program of the nation
al Christian Endeavor was adopted,
and the young people entered upon
their campaign with enthusiasm.
Miss Edith Follmer is leader of the
meeting next Sunday evening.
The choir meets this evening at
O'Clock for rehearsal and reorganiza-
ton. It is important that every men,
Der be there and on time.
There is scarcely anyone who does
not concede a, place to the church in
society, and in doing so they thus ac-
knowledge their obligation to the
church. Why then do so many re-
fuse to meet their obligation. One
cannot evade the responsibility by
pleading the inefflciency of the pres
ent program of the church; for it is
equally binding upon everyone,
church member and non-church
member, to correct errors and to
strengthen the church. Church rela-
tionship is not optional. Think about
it, go to church and accept your
share Of the work. The church is a
community interest and has gospel
which is individualistic, socialistic
and universal.
