Buggy Overturned

Sunday as Mr.. and Mrs. Milt
Bennett and their son Milton
were returning from Mr.. Ben
netts farm northwest of town
and after they had reached the
foot of the court house hill, their
team of mules SHE'D at an auto
mobile and one of the axles on
their buggy broke, overturning
the buggy and throwing the
family violently to the ground.
The team with the wrecked
buggy was caught up town and
sent home and the bruised and
crippled occupants brot in by
passing cars. Mrs. Bennett
was the worst injured tho no
bones were broken. She was
PLACED under the care of a sur
geoa and was in a serious condi-
tion until Thursday morning
when she was able to breakfast
at the table. Milt had his bald
spot SCARED by landing on it
and was shaken up and bruised
badly. The boy had one leg
badly bruised and skinned and
he was otherwise disfigured and
put on a blanket in the front
yard for several days. 1t ap-
peared for a time that the three
had suffered serious if not per-
manent injury, and Mrs. Bennett
was in doubt for several days.

THE EUROPEAN WAR.
Allies Continue Gains In West
U Boats Destroy Ships
Russia Dallying

The reports printed in the
dailies indicate that the allies
are making advances in some
quarters in France, tho German
army wins at once important
point.
The destruction of merchant
ships. last week and so far this
week by German submarines
has been considerably greater
than expected. Much commerce
has escaped the U boats but
thousands of tons have gone
down. The U boat has not
proved easy prey for destroyers
or more formidable opponents.
by any means, and apprehension
is felt that their activity may
increase and include transports.
Russia has not determined her
future course in the war. but
that she has finally withdrawn
from active participation 10 the
field, is clearly certain.
General Pershing and staff
and quite a number of soldiers
from our army are in France
and looking the situation over.
A number of Red Cross women
have landed in London and are
being entertained royalty. Raids
by dirigibles and other air craft
have been made on London and
! other sections of England and
many killed and many more in
jured.
The 23rd to the 25th of this
month have been set apart by
President Wilson for volunteer
enlistment between the ages of
Is to 40. The selections from
those who have registered for
all branches of the service viii
begin July 4th, and the l. 800. 600
soldiers needed without delay
will be had. President Wilson
has put an embargo on ship
ments of merchandise to neu-
trails, with Hoover at the head
of board to license. and appor-
ton.
The Lever bill, now being de-
bated in the Senate, if passed,
will set the country to thinking
more deeply than ever.

HIGH WATER RECED|NG
Charlton Bottoms Still Under
Water TO Replant Much
Corn Bridges Lost.

Last weeks rise in the Chari-
ton river was by far the great
est Of the season and reached
crops which had escaped the for
mer high water. In all. surely
not less than a half million dol
lars loss has fallen on the bot
tom farmers of the county. The
dump road between this city and
Salisbury was all under water
this week and the bridge across
the big ditch was put out OF
commission completely. County
court has ordered it repaired if
can be-. Several other bridges
on this ditch have been washed
out.
The farmers along the creeks
which empty into Grand river
and those on the big bar across
from Brunswick which was swept
of crops and all those along the
Charlton and its tributaries are
preparing to replant the ground
in corn as soon as conditions viii
permit.

which they highly prize, and to
whom our sympathy is rendered.
May he rest in peace.
M. C. Smith. aged 81. long a
resident here, and we'll known
all over the County, died at his
home on West 4th street, Tues
day, June 19, 1917, after an ILL
ness of a few months of COM
pllcation of diseases, chief of
which it is claimed was Brights
disease, leaving a devoted wife
and nine children surviving,
and a host of relatives and
friends. Deceased was a men,
ber of the Christian Chuach, an
Odd Fellow and Modern Wood
man, and prominent in all being
especially kind and attentive to
the sick and afflicted. So far
as his means permitted, he was
charitable, and no one called on
him for a needed favor, and met
denial when he could grant it.
He denied himself often to help
others, and now that he is gone,
his friends can appreciate his
worth. While in moderate cir
cumstances, he carried life in
surance for the protection of his
family, in order to educate and
maintain them after his help
was gone. Funeral services will
be conducted from the home by
Rev. ]. P. Rice and remains
laid to rest in the Bennett bury
ing ground north of Keytesville.
There are many nice things we
would like to say of the deceas-
ed, but space forbids and we
leave his life to speak for him.
He had his faults, likewise his
virtues, and we would draw the
veil over the one and emulate
the other.
