wire in front of the house of Eli Mat

the wire to the Union Telephone COM

electric wire.
One of the children little Edward

get the wire out of the way, took hold
of it and received severe shock.
When Mrs. Madison saw the child
lying on the ground, Immediately
rushed to him and tried to lift him
up, but received slight shock her.

current off before the child could be
removed, as the wire was clinched in
his hand and coilsd about his limbs.

Conversation Was Bad

Coopersville.-We were sort of dis
listed recently at a conversation we
CHANGED to hear between some. of our
young men. There was quite a num-
Der and with one exception they all
had whine about not having a fair
chance in the battles of life. To our
positive knowledge not one of them
had good excuse for whining. Throw
sensible man out of the window
and he will land on his feet and ask
the nearest way to work. The more
you have to begin with the less you
have in the end. Money you earn
yourself is much brighter than any
you get out of dead mans bags.
A scant breakfast in the morning of
life whets the appetite for a feast
later in the day. He who has tasted
sour apple will have the more relish
for a sweet one. Your present want
will make future prosperity all the
sweeter. There is no excuse for any
Young man to be a wilmer in our
good town.

at Quinn Chapel Forum last Sunday
afternoon. The attendance was un-

Lindsay Davis was at her best in an
address on Present Opportunities.
She urged the women and girls of
the Race to stand up and take their
places in the business world, in civics,
in industrial and social service circles.
She dwelt upon the Importance of
this period of reconstruction. Many
points brought out will be long re-
membered. The cornet solo by Miss
Irene Howard was very pleasing and
the continued applause indicated ap-
proval. The trio by Misses Gertrude
Smith, Stella Williams and Charles
Smith was rendered with much skill
and showed great preparation. Miss
Elma Howell read a paper on Better
Speech" which won for her the high
est commentator, and the instru-
mental solos by Misses Fidela Gus

very high order showing mastery and
skill. An Grafton on fToussaint L
