Letters to Santa Claus,
What to Ask For. Etc.

The Review will be glad TO print
Letters to Santa Claus" from the
little folks from week to week. 1t
is none too early, children, to re-
mind dear old Santa of your wants
and desires because this year the
editor hears that Sanity is having a
very hard time to get the usual toys
on account OF the big fight across the
pond, and that many of the various
freaks offered for sale will not be in
hand, SO don't ask for too many toys
bnt rather confine yourself more
largely to useful gifts, something
that you can use or keep to remem
Der the grand old Christmas man long
after the holiday season has passed.
Of course you will want some candy
aud goodies but won't pair of mits,
stockings, ,handkerchiefs, coat, shoes,
hat, umbrella, rain coat, tie, dress,
aprons, gloves. ring. bracelet, belt
collar pins, locket, pin tray, bank
account, ribbons. rocking chair,
stools, piano, tooth brush and paste,
book case, school bag. ETC., be more
appreciated in the long run than
fiimsy toys that are easily broken
and soon forgotte0. ..7
Of course the little girl will want
a doll, tricycle. or the like and the
boy a wagon or pair of skates but
in thel main we believe they will
want old Sanity to bring them some
thing useful such as enumerated
above. 49,. t~.
Now what do you think about it
children? Tell us US in your letters.

CITY GARDENING PLAN.

One way to help reduce the high cost
of living is tor the city people to util-
ize the spare ground in their back
yards, where trash and other rubbish
is now found A small tract of land
will grow many vegetables and the saw
ing to be made will surprise you. The
children of the household can generally
do this work. Then others can raise
chickens, and those on the outskirts
hogs, etc., enough to supply the whole'
family. This city gardening plan espe-
cially is well worth trying.

FATAL AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
AGED Lady Meets Death Five
Others Wounded-Drunken Driver
the Cause. A Deplorable Ac-
cident.


One dead and five injured tells'tht
story of an automobile accident
which occurred about four miles
from High Point ON the Thomas
vile road just before the noon hour
Sunday.
In the machine were Mrs. M. j.
Weatherman, a well known citizen
of this city living on Flint street and
who died from her injuries three
hours later. G. r. Clancy. the
driver; Mrs. Bette Davis and two
small SONS, and Cleo Clonneeer. H.
vear-old granddaughter of Mrs.
Weatherman. Mrs. Davis and
Frank son seemed to have suffered
the worse of those living. All how
ever received cuts and bruises.
CLANCY, who is I'm employe of
the Southern Car Company, was i'm
mediately placed under arrest and
locked up in the city Jail. awaiting
a deputy sheriff of Davidson county
who carried the prisoner to Lexine-
ton to stand trial for recklessly driv-
ina an automobile while in an in
toxicated condition. No bond was
allowed at the time.
The automobile party was enrOute
to Lexington to visit relatives and
had engaged Clancy to drive them.
It was noticed that he was under
the influence of whiskey and twice
while going at lightning gait on
the ThomasvilIe road, he was asked
to slow down, but he did not pay
any attention to the warning.
The road is perfectly straight at
the point where the unfortunate ac-
cident occurred with a small fill
with a culvert, and a hole of water
at one end where Mrs. Weather
man was found. CLANCY says he
was making about Is miles an hour
at the time but he must have been
going near 40 as Miss Cleo CloReger
says that she had to pull her hat
brim oyer her mouth so she could
breathe. It is miraculous that all
lives were not sacrificed by the
drunken speed klDg as the car
turned completely over. However
all passengers were thrown clear OF
the wreckaee. The wounded and
dying were brought to the city aud
given immediate attention. Mrs.
Davis collapsed when she was told
that her son Frank was probably
internally injured. The dead wo-
man was IS years of age. The re-
mains were carried to Statesville
Monday for interment.
CLANCY who claims that some
thing was wrong with his car, is
said to bear a fair reputation but
that whiskey is his failing.
This is the third accident to occur
on this road recently and close to
the very place where H. M. Short Of
met death and Sidney
Allen of Winston seriously injured
two months ago:
