The only accident reported to any
of the hundreds of automobiles that
passed through this place for the ey-
clone district during the week was
encountered by Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene
Massey and family of near Woodland
while on their way from the stricken
storm section south of Mercer Sun
day. They were driving along the
Mercer-Lineville road and when
about two miles this side of Mercer
a Ford car driven by parties from the
Cleopatra neighborhood, dashed into
the road from the west and was
caught between the Massey car and
large car belonging to Abe Reck,
of Alierton. Mr.. Massey applied the
brake and stopped his car within a
few inches of the strangers car, but
the car was struck by the Reck car
with such force from the opposite
side as to throw it against the Mas
sey car, bending one of the tenders
and bursting tire. Neither car be-
ing damaged otherwise and in few
minutes all were able to meander
their respective ways for home

Last Wednesday night as Ralph
Scott was going home, when in front
of the c., T. Buck farm east of town,
he was run into by an auto and badly
bruised up. Ralph was driving a
horse and he said he pulled out on
his side of the road as far as he
could but the automobile driver
hogged the road with the conse-
quence that the horse was knocked
down and the auto ran uD on him so
that he could not get up until the car
was backed off from him. Ralph was
thrown out with such force that his
left elbow was dislocated and brok-
en-. The auto driver assumed all the
blame for the accident. 1t is fortu-
nate that the accident was not any
more serious and that Mr.. Scott es-
capped as, lucky as he did.-Lamoni

Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in the
South. We are all facing a crisis,
This war in Europe pas things in
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree OF
clearness.
The sure and certain increase in
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall Cost of all food and
grain products is high, SO high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. 1t will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres of cotton you
ever grew!
Hastings 1917 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of money saw
ing garden and the vegetables to put
in it. 1t tells about the field crops as
well and shows you the clear road to
real farm prosperity. It's Free. Send
for it today to H. G. HASTINGS CO.,
