RUTHVILLE ELITE
ATTENDS SINGING

The son of Mr.. A. J. Nelson, VINO
was near grown, was taken suddenly
sick with spinal affection and died
in five hours. 1t was first thought
hest to quarantine the home, but al
ter hearing from the county health
authorities, it was not done. Mr..
Nelson and wife have the sympathy
of a large circle of friends and rela-
tives in their sad bereavement.
On last Friday night almost all
the nobility of Ruthville left their
homes about dark and motored up
near Dukedom, where Prof. K. H.
Emmerson was teaching a most sue
cessful singing school, and found the
house crowded with people, old and
Young. We, however found seats and
helped to make the welkin ring I'M
til 10 o'clock. All landed safely at
home at II. Five cars, loaded to the
guards. were in this procession, while
many others went in buggies and on
horseback,
Martin Van Buren, Spence, who
has been visiting in Arkansas, re-
turned to the City of Opportunities
last Thursday.
Mrs. Alice, wife of Mr.. B. B. Kim
berlain, is quite sick at her home.
She has been confined to her bed for
about a week and is no better.
Mr.. ]. D. Gibbs is on the sick list,
under the care of a physician this
week. Mr.. Gibbs is superintendent
of Spence park and it is hoped he will
be able to resume his duties in
short time, arranging more comfort
able winter quarters for the splen-
did collection of animals and the rare
specimens of beautiful birds therein.
Mr.. Tom Laswell, son of Mr.. D.
L. Laswell, who was registered, exam
ined and accepted for the army,
moved to Arkansas with his young
wife two or three months ago. In
the last call he was notified here
to be at Dresden when the boys were
to leave for the camp. His father
telegraphed him, as the time was
short, and he pulled into Dresden on
the train that carried the boys away.
Jumping from the train, he informed
those in authority that he was on
hand and ready, but was informed
that another had been taken in his
place and the quota was made uo
and he was honorably released until
the next call.
The saws and hammers are sound

shingles are shining at many homes

As near as we can gather from
the limited information we have, it
was about four years ago when one
of our Ruthville women was prepar-
ing to sew a button on her husbands
trousers; she held the needle in her
lips while she was looking for spool
of thread. At this juncture she
sneezed and the needle disappeared
and could not be found, after most
dilligent search. The incident had
