"A very pretty and very young
young lady came to Palisade last
week, Tuesday about LIS p. M, Miss
Ruth Hetherton Anderson, newest
baby daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. L. C..
Anderson. The visit Of little Ruth
was an agreeable surprise to the

Flag Pole Blown Down
The big flag pole at the Palisade
Fairgrounds blew down one morning
last week in high wind. 1t fell to
the southwest, and broke in a dozen
or more pieces. 1t was erected about
five years ago when the Fairgrounds
were dedicated, and at which Lewis
Castle Freeman made the address.
There was almost a bad accident that
day. A flag pole made of four-inch
gas pipe had been made, with the
next section of three-inch pipe, the
third or top piece being two-inch
piping. The joints, however, had
been screwed imperfectly, and when
the boys got it up, sudden sway
ing caused the pole to break into
three pieces, and down the whole
thing came into the midst of the
boys, and strange to say not one was
touched. Charles Logan, jr., was
experimenting the work of erecting
the pole. When he saw that the
iron pole was broken, he went into
the nearby woods and cut wooden
one and after some heavy effort,
got it into position and the flag
floated proudly that afternoon at the
dedication.
Marie Anderson came over last
Sunday to get glimpse of her new
little sister, Baby Ruth.
