what we want, some one who can

On my trip 10 Greenville last week
l was very sad indeed to meet there
the corpse of my dear old friend, Mrs.
Ann Smith. We were friends in my
boyhood days, and a noble Christian
woman she was. She was always
active in christian work and was
loved by everybody. She was a visitor
in our home not long ago. Little did
we think it would be our last visit to-
gether. God has called another of
his children home and she will be
sadly missed by her children and
friends, who have our deepest sym
pathy.
Rev. J. A. Baxter, the new Metho-
dist minister from Purvis, Mississippi,
has arrived to take charge here and
aud Patterson. He is a c~onsecrated

sermons here Sunday and Sunday
night to large congregations.

Lewis generation, attended the re-

Rev. Joel Lewis. This Reunion was
given in honor of Grandma Lewis who
is getting very old and will not be
here much longer. 1t was a great
pleasure to her to meet her chileren,
| grandchildren and old friends and to
enjoy the services. 1t would have
have been a great pleasure to have
been present, but as l bad to leave on
the train at noon l could not be there.
But may they all live to enjoy another
happy Reunion is the wish of their
old friend. ISAAC.

Greenville Sun: "Mrs. Elmer Buck
was killed by a bolt of lightning at her
home at Taskee during the electrical
storm which passed over this section
last Monday evening. Mrs. Buck,
whose maiden name was Ruble, had
been married only about two months.
She and her young husband had just
moved into the house, we are told,
and were arranging the furniture.
Mrs. Buck was making up q bed when
she was stricken. Her husband, who
was in the same room, was un~injured.
Tho body was sent to Des Arc, the girl
hood homo of Mrs. Buck, for burial"
The Collins family was somewhat
surprised Sunday evening about 900
O'Clock when Mr.. C.'s grandson, Err
nest Holman, from Marquaud, Mo-,
drove up in his new Maxwell car. The
young people with him were Mr.. CTS
two daughters, Mae and Ina, his
granddaughter, Eta Holman, and
Blanche and Esther White. The young
people were just out for a little ride
and drove up to Fredericktown and
about 6:00decided Co como to Ironton.
They arrived here about 900 O'Clock
and left about twelve that night.
They arrived in Marquand about 400
next morning. Some trip in such o
short time.
Kaufman, Smith, Emert & Co.,
who were awarded the $15, 900 Ironton
High School bonds, June 23d, have
notified the school board that their
attorney has refused to approve the
issues, and their proposition IL with
drawn. The reasons given by the at
torney for his action are failure to
provided voting place in Arcadia, and,
further, that while the proposition was
carriedby O two-thirds vote of those
participating the election, the constitu-
ton provides that a bond issue shall be
ratified by two-thirds OF all the voters
OF the district, whether participating
in the election or not. This latter
proposition has long been q mooted
question. The board is now endeav-
oring to dispose of the bonds to local
parties and hopes to be successful in
the effort But the delay Is vexatious.

TESTS RESPONSIBLE FOR
CULLING IN DAIRY HERDS
Adviser Ireland Finds That Owners
Are Selling "Boarder" Cows.

Evidence of the good results
being brought about through operation
of the Boise Valley Cow Testing as
ISOLATION is citd by H. A. Ireland
project advisor. in announcing the
past months records, in the fact that
many herd owners have begun culling
out Improbable animals.
That this result is being achieved

as gratifying by the project advisor

EIGHT-STORY BUILDING
SHATTERED BY A BOMB
1t Had to Be Done, in New Triangle
Collier Picture, and Thos. H.
Ince Did 1t.

In the course of the action of "The
No-Good Guy" feature photoplay in
which William Collier is starred on
the Triangle program, one of the most
genuine bomb explosions ever staged
before the camera takes place, with
resultant wreck of an eight-story
building.
1t took producer Thomas H. Ince
exactly one month to make that short
scene possible. He hunted all over
California, it seemed. to find build
ing about to be torn down that he
could destroy for the sake of his Col
ler story; but none could be found
for long time. By keeping in touch
with the Tenement Department, the
Board of Health, he at length learned
of an eight-story concrete corner
structure with a frontage on two
streets Of 100 feet each. newly erected
but utterly condemned by the authori-
ties because of some architectural
defect.
Whereas Ince would not have beer
permitted to blow up most buildings
because of possible damage to adjoin
ing property, this structure had beer
poured almost as one piece in arti
fetal stone, and absolutely required
the use of dynamite. 1t cost lnce ;
good round sum to substitute hi
bomb for the explosive intended TO
use by the workers; but the deal wen
through, and the explosion did it
work in highly satisfactory manner.
In the scene as it is shown by tn
camera, the building is rent asunder b
an explosion that is seen to shoot ur
ward through the eight floors an
cave in the side walls. And yet it oc
cupies but five feet of film, whic
means eighty pictures running abot
four to the second, or something owe
quarter Of minute. At the Bungt
low, Tuesday, October 18th.
