the church. Accordingly, the church
has invited Rev. D. II. Howerton. of
New Liberty, KY, to preach for us
next Sunday, October 21st, morning

that all the members OF the church be
present next Sunday that they may

he may see the church. We want him
to be so favorably impressed with us
that he will want to come to Ironton
should the church call him to its pas
torate. The public Is also invited.

turning home Friday evening, driving
ore horse anc leading the other, he
had 4 rather exciting experience. The
road north of Hogan, ascending the
mountain, runs through a cut, bound
ed on both sides by banks two ~
three I Get high, and is only good wa
gon width. About two-thirds way up
the mountain an auto holding two
men passed him, painfully chugging
its way to the top. Hawkins knows
all about automobiles and il was evil
dent to him that the engine of the one
just passing was not working as it
should, but this was no concernment
of the horseman and he came on his
way homeward mentally occupied
with the prizes his horses had won
and the warm supper awaiting him.
But he was aroused from his pleasing
c%ogitation by a yell from the front.
Looking back, behold he saw the auto
coming full tilt, evidently beyond it's
drivers control. The roadway was
narrow and hemmed in by banks on
either side. Escape for the horseman
seemed impossible, but his energy
rest to the occasion. Lashing both
horses they jumped over the embank-
ment landing in the brush on the
roadside, with the cart hanging to a
sappling, just as the auto dashed by at
express train speed. Then cur horse
man retraced his way and at the foot
of the hill found the gas-wagon and
its two occupants somewhat excited
but uninjured. The brakes of the car,
at the critical moment, when the crest
of the rise was but a few yards dis
tant, refused their offices, and the
hasty descent followed. The driver
held it TO the road, however, and a
few hours later all the parties to this
incident arrived safely nthe metropo-
lis of the county. Jesse says, "Horses
for me, every time"
