End News
Hustonville. April II, 1916

Il
"T" Carpenter says the report OF
his narrow escape from drowning in
Green River near Liberty last week
is all mistake, but that he did get
a No. 1 ducking by his son-in-law, c.
F. Montgomery, who caught hold of
limb while rowing down stream,
and caused their war schooner to up
set in deep water. Both went to the
bottom (about ten feet) and had a
hard time of it getting out on account
of their heavy clothes. Montgomery
being an expert swimmer, finally
made the bank, safe and sound, but
Carpenter, not knowing how to swim,
finally found the bank after desperate
efforts to keep his head above water,
and it is said that Carp threw the
water for a few breaths like "sea
lion."

The price of eggs and chickens are
so much better here that people liv-
ing near Stanford are bringing their
produce here, as they claim they re-
ceive two cents more on the dozen
for eggs and two cents more per
pound for their chickens. Yet we
hear several of our people say they
can get more in Stanford. Bring
your produce here and you will see
what is the difference in price-eggs
bringing II cents and chickens Is
cents.
