MENDON HAS BIG FIRE
Chrane Bros. Garage and Three
4 Machines Were Destroyed
Other Damage.

A fire that destroyed the
Chrane Bros. garage burned
three automobiles and damaged
other property to a considerable
extent occurred at 6 o'clock Mon
day afternoon at Mendon. The
loss could not be figured at the
present time.
The fire started in the oChrane
Bros. garage here it is thought
that a gasoline stove was respon-
sible for the confagration. The
garage building owned by H. c.
Atterberry and tools owned by
the Chrane Bros. together with
three automobiles, the property
of H. C. Atterberry, William
Mayo and Chrane Bros. were
destroyed. One machine was an
Overland, another a Ford while
the Atterberry machine was an
old one.
The Switzer poultry house was
damaged to the extent of proper
ty burned worth $3.50 and other
property damaged in removal:
The blacksmith shop was par
tally destroyed and the
Shull restaurant was saved by
the removal of a small building
between it and the approaching
confagration. The people put
rope around the small building
between the blacksmith shop

The Senior class B. H. S. gave
their annual play at the Opera
house in Brunswick the evening
of the fifteenth, and the attend
ance was a record one, the re-
ceipts being more than $1S5.
The entire class of seventeen
was in the cast, and the critics
are content to say that the play
was the best ever.
College Town" was the
drama, which we understand
will be played here in the near
future by the Carrollton H. S.
Playgoers from this and

Mandy Still Active

Chef of Police Hinton had an
exciting chase after Mandy Mar
tin, a nergess well known in po-
lice circles, this afternoon,
Mandy was one of the ten ne
groes ordered from town last
Saturday. Judge Tedford senten-
ced her to work on the streets
with a broom, but granted her
a stay of execution on condition
that she leave town and stay
away.
Mandy agreed. But she could
not resist the lure of the bright
lights on Kansas City Hill" and
returned last night.
This morning Chief Hintor
was informed of her presence ir
town and went after her. Mandy
saw him coming and jumped
through a window about six fee
from the ground. She sustained
several cuts about the face anC
head, but did not stop in he
flight.
The chief set out in pursuit
fading an occasional shot at th'
fleeing negress which served
only served to accelerate hel
speed. She finally was captured
by Mr.. Hinton and brought Il
the city Jail.
Tomorrow she will be giveI

Since our last issue, Judge
Rucker has made brief visits to
such portions of the district as
he has been called on official
business. He informedsa reporter
that, without neglecting official
duties, he has incidentally dis
cussed political conditions with
many friends and has found no
indication that voters are going
to be induced to support any of
his numerous opponents by the
argument which is being made
against him on account of his
tenure of Office.
He thinks the people demand
efficient and faithful services and
will not repudiate him until his
opponents can point to something
in his record which they, the
people of the district, do not
approve.
1t is the Judges intention to
visit all parts of the district
during the spring and sumner.

Brunswick bottling WORKS have
their Overland truck busily en-
gagged. It is a good machine
and fills a long felt want and
while only a three fourths ton
capacity, it chases with 5000
pounds like an antimire with a
hoppergrass. J. M. Barker con-
sented to part with this one to
the bottling works and would
spare another to another.

Our Northern Suburb

There is one busy town in the
county every day, but especially
Saturdays, and that is Mussel-
fork-PeeDee, the twin brother
and sister IL miles north of the
capitol. Cranberry merchants
and dispensers of wet spirits
have their grand rushers, but M
P merchants need no stimulaters
like picnics, circuses, evangelic-
al seances, prize package-with-
each-purchase, or spell binders.
Saturday, for instance, it was
astonishing where all the eggs
and butter which was dumped in
on the merchants there could
have come from, and how it was
possible for the proprietors and
clerks to get about among their
customers and wait on them, or
a customer being able to get out
with a bundle as large as a pack
age of needles without spilling.
Outside of the business houses
the crowd is about as dense,
made up of the husbands, broth
ers, sweethearts and hired hands
who have come along to see the
shoppers safely there and home
again. Don't fancy that it is
: dull out in this crowd, or that
CAB about crops, stock and the
weather is the only diversion.
Regularly every Saturday after
noon there are wrestling and
glove bouts between young and
old, and some fine exhibitions Of
unframed skill are to be witness.

Mrs. Mary Ann Ward


Mrs. Ward spent the winter in
St. Louis with a daughter, re-
turning to this city March ii
during the big snow, and two
days later was attacked by the
maIady which proved too much
for the strength of a more than
octogenarian.
Mary Ann Hereford was born
on the farm now owned by Jas.
Pearson 2 miles west of this city
September l, 1927, and was the
oldest of sixteen children. Her
sisters, Mrs. Missouri CASTOR
and Mrs. Sallie HALEY are the
only ones of the big family now
living here.
Mary Ann Hereford was mar
ried to VIM. H. Smith April 8,
1845 and the result of that uni
on was three children, two of
whom survive. VIM. Smith died
about 1849, during the epidemic
Of colera in this section. The
widow Smith married William
Ward September IA, 1852, who
died November 15,l 1874, the
result of the union being IA
children.
Mrs. Mary Ann Ward was the
grandmother Of 4S children and
the great grandmother Of IL
and there are few of the older
people in the city who were not
first dressed by her. In fact, in
sickness of all kinds, she was
ever sought, and until her age
prevented, was never known to
fail to respond where circum.
stances would permit.
Three of Mrs. Wards daugh'
ters were born December II and
there was one pair Of twin boys
/, lin her family. All. Of her chill
dren living are married.
Mrs. Ward united with thu
Baptist church in this city il
1853 and was a charter member
, and so long as she could attend
services, she was to be seen a
the church.
With the exception of thre,
, years residence at the place nov
