DR.. w. L. Northcott has domi-
ciled his family in the cottage
known as the Ward home. His
household effects arrived Mon.
day and he is one of us. On his
way here from Indiana DR..
Northcott was in the wreck of
the Wabash accommodation be-
tween st. Louis and Moberly,
and he had some thrilling exper-
fences. He was among the first
to reach the fireman who was
under the overturned engine.
Doc says the shaking up was
enough for all the passengers,
and while he escaped serious
injury. he was Jared loose from
himself in several places.

|UNDERsEA CRAFT LANDS
Deutschland Eludes Enemies and
Docks. German Submarine
Wonder World Astounded

Captain Kairig of the German
submarine Deutschland brot that
undersea craft from Germany
to this country in 16 days with
1000 ton cargo of much needed
German products landing at Bal
timore Sunday. The craft elud-
ed enemy warships, cruisers,
mines, air-scouts and every 9TH
er hostile thing and had a fine
voyage. The captain says they
laid on the bottom of the English
Channel for ten hours, had cham
pague, songs and a good time
generally with all sorts of enemy
craft above them and mines all
round.
The Deutschland is the first
ship of the kind to cross the
ocean a district of 1000 miles,
and the captain says he could
have gone 10000 miles. The
submarine brot chemicals, dye
stuff and mail and it is announc-
ed that a fleet of such is ready
to cross the ocean regularly in
trade with this country.
Protest was made by Great
Britain against the landing of
the submarine or any others, but
the administration holds that it
is the same question which
was passed on favorably for
England and that we will trans
act business with the Germans
just as freely as with Great
Britain. All that is necessary is
for her to get her goods here any
way she chooses and take away
: what she buys from us. The
excuse made by England some
!. time ago for her traffic with this
country was that she could get
here and Germany could not.
Now because Germany has found
a way to trade with US, England
protests against US doing busi-
ness with her. Evidently Presi-
dent Wilson is as willing to deal
with Germany as with any other
country and his determination
to do sois endorsed by every neu'
tral in America.
The entire world was astound.
ed when the report that a Ger.
man Submarine had landed on
our shores laden with a cargo
of merchandise was flashed to
all civilized countries and none SC
"outdone" as England. The
undertaking was considered pre-.
posterous and its accomplish.
ments impossible, and the Ger.
man commander is the hero OF
all the world.

ing the work, in fact our people
have begun to realize the fact
that what they have wasted
would more than paid the
bailing bill, and as the result some
four or five bailing outfits are
busy here taking the hay from
the wind-row.
The good roads people of this
communicable have an ice cream
supper here Saturday for the
reason that this section of the
Keytesville- Macon road, while it
is conceded to be the best State
road out of Keytesville needs
some repairs and some of it needs
grading again and it is the stor-
age of funds available that
prompts people to join US in
this method of supplying the de-
deficiency, so this is an opportun-
ity for everybody to help in this
good cause, as no one doubts the
wisdom of good roads. The cakes
will be donated by good cooks
residing along this road. There
will be music also.

Mrs. Richard H. Tisdale

ALL M. 1clttplc, uduShIcE VI
Geo. w. Temple and wife. was
born near Mendon, Charlton
county, Mo-, March l, 1843.
Died at her home in Keytesville,
Mo-, July 6, 1916. Aged 73
years, A months and 8 days.
Her father was a native of
Tennessee, but came to this coun-
ty in early life, where he mar
ried. After six years Of mar
ried life Mrs. Temple died leav-
ing the two children with the
brokenhearted husband. There
being little else he could do, the
father placed the children with
first one family and another to
board. Thus the girl lived,
without knowing the love of a
mother, and without the sacred
memories of a girlhood home to
carry through life and without a
home until married.
She was married to Richard II.
Tisdale, at the home of b. K.
Bell, February 10, 1859, Rev.
Warren officiating.
To this happy union eleven
children were born. Seven are
yet living. The deceased are:
William P, Ally, Claude and
Clarence. The living are: Mrs.
H. S. HALEY, Richard H. Jr.,
G. T., Mrs. Mary Ashley, Mrs.
VIM. Tiilotson, Edgar and Miss
Roberta. These survive her
with fifteen grandchildren, three
greatgrandchildren and a host of
friends to mourn their loss.
Mrs. Tisdale was converted in
early life at Prairie Chapel.
She united with the Methodist
Church and remained a faithful
member of the same until the
day of her death.
For more than fifty years she
walked by the side of her hus.
band, leaning upon the arm oi
one who was ever all devotion tt
her, until the Chariot of Cod
removed him from her sight,
Then without him she went Sc
renely, unmurmuringly, unit
suddenly the chariot again de-
scended and took her to renew
again the sweet communion
which for three years had been
broken.
But the Old Home of earth is
gone though she is blessed ir
her new relations. The Home
coming" here is no more. But
the New Home yonder has glori
ously begun, and the Home
coming" there without one chile
missing was that for which bott
father and mother lived anC
prayed while here.
And methinks, when redeemed
friends of Keytesville reach thu
the Home of the SouP', anC
walk the streets of that blest
city, they will find her on thu
front porch of her mansion
greeting passers-by with thu
same motherly smile which
cheered them here.

AUTOMOBILE WRECK
Three Prominent Men Over EN-
bankment. All Escape Injury
Lucky Candidates


Hon. Thos. Edwards, Hon. Roy
McKittrick and attorney Clar-
ence Brummall Of Salisbury were
in the Edwards Studebaker car
enroute to Aholt where McKit-
trick was billed for a speech.
The trio reached the Charlton
river bridge at Rockford about
the time designated. The road
turns abruptly to the bridge
from the north and it is impossi-
to see the approach to the bridge
until within less than ten feet.
There is also a road leading to
the bridge from the south. These
two roads join at the east apron.
The banks of the river on each
side of the bridge are very steep,
in fact, almost perpendicular.
Mr.. Edwards was driving his
car and turned the hill to cross
the bridge when he instantly
discovered a lot of loose plank
on the bridge and at the end
of the approach, evidently left
there by some one who had
crossed with a traction outfit.
He wished to know the condition
of the approach before going on
it and undertook to turn his car
to the left and in the south road
until they could investigate. He
saw he could not make the turn
and tried to stop his car and
reached for the emergency brake
and while he was in the act,
the right front wheel went over
the embankment, threw Edwards
out or he jumped. the machine
shot headfrst down, struck a
ledge after going over Edwards
and turned parallel with the
stream, threw McKittrick out
and tumbled into the river,
throwing Brummall beyond it in
deeper water. The machine
landed in water about three feet
deep and upright; Edwards in
a ditch which saved him from
being crushed as the machine
passed over him; McKittrick
landed on a rock ledge on hands
and knees and Brummall in
about a feet of water. McKit-
trick was by far the worst suf-
ferer from the mlshap having
sustained a badly bruised and
otherwise injured knee.cap on
his right leg and more or less
damaged knee of his left leg
and numerous cuts and bruises
about his arms and body. Some
protruding bolts took away part
of Edwards clothing but left him
unhurt except for the fall.
Brummall got a badly scraped
face in some way and a plunge
after the old and approved style
and the car had the right lamp
twisted. the right spring put out
Of place and shape, fender bent
and smashed.
McKittrick and the others pro-
ceeded to Aholt in another car
but before they had reached
their destination, it was appar-
ent that their injuries. especially
those received by McKittrick,
called for their hasty return To
Salisbury even tho a surgeon
from this city had given first
aid. McKittrick had to take tc
bed where he still remains with
a very bad knee, the prospect
for having to remain in bed fol
some time being apparent.
That the whole outfit was moi
destroyed is short of the mirac.
ulous but little. 1t is 35 feet
from the top of the bank they
went over to the narrow beach
below, and almost perpendicular.
Opposing candidates for the
legislature and prosecuting attor.
ney should avoid precipitation
unless they are sure their lucky
stars are also in the ascendency,

for. In the British Open Champion
ship of 1904. at Sandwich, he came TO
the final against Edward Blackwell, one
Of the longest hitters OF the Engllsh
realm.
Sandwich is a course OF long carries
and on previous days from the shorter
tees the American veteran had barely
cleared the cross-course traps and
bunkers. On the last day the deepest
tees were used thirty or more feet
further back-but Travis still just
managed to rap the ball over TO safety.

and get down in one or not over two
puts. why bother? Mighty swipes and
violent lunges are well enough for
those who are disappointed with any
drive under 250 yards. Not 40 Travis.
A straight shot down the course from
1870 to 2l0 yards always looked better
TO him than a mighty wallop twenty
wards off line. He built his game on
that basis and stuck TO il. and the long
hitters. when paired against him.
