Raymond Qualey, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chris Qualey, had an expert
ence sliding down hill Sunday after
noon that we dare say he will not care
repeat. He was over on the Ice Cave
road at the east entrance, with his
hobs and started sliding down the hill
towards the bridge. He slid down the
hill all right, onto the bridge, and

strange to say, wasn't injured in the

wasn't on his pleasure program that
afternoon. How he escaped unin-
jured is hard to explain, other than he
held tight to the sled and 1t lit right
side up with care.

recall that Seward Lemley left home
about a month ago to visit his sweet
heart in Illinois and his father in West
Virginia and that nothing had been

morning. sent from Lincoln ILL.,, where
he had stopped to visit among other
