overcome either by the ether or the
excitement and lost Consciousness for
some time. He had to be taken home.
He is feeling better, but is still weak.
Friday night after the dance, Hugh
McNeal was returning home from
Farley Prices on q horse. Rodney
Harper, of McDonaldville, was going
home from the dance in Porterville.
Both boys seemed to be going at a
very swift gallop, 1t being quite dark,
Hugh's horse struck Rodney's horse,
paralyzing it's back. The horse could
not get up and Saturday morning 1t
had to be killed. 1t was quite a
loss to Rodney as he had just bought
new buggy and this was his buggy
horse. Moral, Boys should be more
careful at night not only for the
safety of their dumb friends but for
the sake of shemsel es
Robert Plant is still quite i'll. DR..
Beck is doctoring him at present.
During the intermission between

ment the music on the way in which
they played. The dances We're only
a very few minutes long and long
intermissions between times. Then
you would not think by the dances
that the people of this place had
progress very much in art of dancing.
For not any new dances or steps
were PLAYED. There were only, waltzs,
two-steps, and quadrilles that have
been danced for so years. Now 1t
seems this neighborhood is progress
sive enough in other things that 1t
certainly ought to be able to dance
a few of the new dances, which are
being danced all of the world and
not have some non-progressive per-
son saying they are "ragging." Now
we hope that somebody will get IN
terested in the new ones and run the
dances in such way as to be a
credit to this community.
