While out hunting rabbits last
evening with two Wells boys, Senator
Horace II. Coryell, of Wells, was acct.
dentaliy shot through the body by one
OF the boys with him. The bullet was
of twenty-five caliber and entered Mr..
Coryell's body at the hip, passing en-
tirely through. The wound is serious
but it is not thought that it will result
in death, although that is possible.
Senator Coryell's rapid recovery is
sincerely hoped for by his many
friends throughout the county.
Or. c. E. Whitesides has made an
excellent suggestion for raising money
poses that every auto owner in the !
city who possesses old and worn out
auto tires sell these tires to Mr.. Ben |
Bangs, who has expressed u willing |
ness TO buy them, and all proceeds |
from the sale be donated to the local |
chapter of the Red Cross. Consider |
able money ought to be realized in |
this manner and we are anxious to |
do anything within our humble power
to further the scheme. Get your old |
tires together and take them to Mr.. |
Bangs. He will see that their value
gets to the proper officials of the Red
Cross.
The band concert given yesterday !
on the Courthouse lawn was largely |
attended and greatly enjoyed. The |
boys handled a difficult program in |
excellent style and amply repaid the |
townspeopie for the enthusiastic sup
port that has thus far been given
them. The solo CT Mrs. Esther Smith
Carpenter was deserving of especial
mention and the round of applause
that called for an encore from Mrs.
Carpenter was well merited. She has
a very sweet soprano voice of wide
range that carried past the ears Of
every listener. Her two songs varied
the program in most pleasing man
ner and the people OF the city are aux-
ious to see her frequent appearance
on the future Sunday programs.
