we're not we'll attended because of a
Misunderstanding regarding the ar
rangements, an effort will be made
TO hold another meeting at Hughes
Vile at p. m. Thursday, August %.
When we grasp the idea that hog
cholera is unnecessary, that its
spread is the result of carelessness,
indifference and gross negligence;
when we resolve that such conditions
will NOT be tolerated and that we will
pull together to prevent the losses
caused by this dread disease, then
and not until then. will widespread
outbreaks of the disease become a
thing of the past.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec. 25.-Sixteen
persons were killed and 90 injured
when a Knoxville car crowded with
Christmas shoppers ran wild through

after it entered the tunnel, which is
almost a mile long, the trolley pole
left the wire, and the wheels slipped
on the wet rails.
The mOtOrman was unable to check
the car, which, because of the heavy
grade, emerged from the tunnel at ex-
press-train speed. At the first switch
1t leaped from the rails and crashed
against the heavy iron railroad fence.

MESSAGE FROM GOV. LOWDEN
Tells People to Celebrate Christmas
Despite the War.


Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. Ex-Governor
Lowden issued the following Christmas
statement:
Though Christmas gifts will be
largely lacking, though family groups
will be incomplete because Of the alb
sence of our soldier boys, we still may
celebrate Christmas with warm hand
clasps, with good cheer and good fell
lowship.
''Let us at home take lessons from
our soldiers in the camps. They, true
soldiers that they are, you may be
sure, will make merry all day long.
Certainly, then, we at home should
yield fully to the spirit Of the yule-
tide.
'"The capture of Bethlehem from the
Turk, just before Christmas eve is, in
itself, a good omen. 1t means that the
star of hope for all humanity again
has risen in the eastern sky.
"Surely we are permitted to hope on
this Christmas that the day Of Peace
on earth, good will toward all men, is
ever drawing nearer.
FRANK O. LOWDEN."
