Own Special Train.

narrowly missed running down the
Republican presidential candidate

having left the station to turn around

1t was pulling back into the station.
A band was playing and the noise of
the approaching train could not be
heard.
The automobile backed away In
time to avert an accident. 1t ran In
to the machine just behind and the
crowd on the tracks scattered quick
ly. The train was brought to stop
without injury to anyone.

The match was to be decided by the best three out of five games. An other draw game was played before Ketchum finally won third game and the tournament. and became the proud pos sessor of the splendid checker board and men given by the Birmingham Arms com pany to the winner.
 Clarence Ketchum is but a boy, but plays a remarkable game of checkers ard, 1t is said, there are not many players in town who can beat him. The complete scores are as follows: E.

DR. GEORGE EAVES' MONTHLY REPORT Thanks Authorities of the Pisgah Home for Co.,
 operation.

Dr. George Eaves, secretary of the Jef- ferson County Anti-Tuberculosis associa- ton, yesterday made public his report of the work done by the association during December. It follows:
 ''The secretary desires first of all to ex- press thanks to the authorities of Pisgah home for invaluable cooperation. A Wednesday morning and reported with a letter from a physician in Greene county urging that we do something for his aid The man was evidently in dying condi tion. He had visited his sister to give her last farewell travelling from west ern Texas for the purpose. There was no space available at the Red mountain ssEatorium without exposing the patient to the fury of frequent storms. By ar. rangement with the authorities of Pisgah home, it was found possible to shelter and isolate the dying man. Miss Clement of the visiting nurses force took charge ably seconded by the matron of Pisgaf home and visited by Dr. Leon Fox, but the patient passed away on Thursday morning. This tragedy illustrates better than ordinarily the terrible need for a county hospital adequate to receive those crying for care on account of advanced tuberculosis. In conjunction with the health department the cottage occupied by the patient was carefully disinfected An additional feature of distress is the fact that the wife ond children of tht deceased are somewhere between Birming ham and Fl Paso, Tex, unaware o1 the death of the sick man.
