Crosses County

The first aeroplane known to
have passed over Highland was the
big army plane that came down tor
repairs Friday evening in Rocking
ham. The machine crossed over
the northern side of the county,
and many persons who heard
the motor believed it to be a high
power automobile climbing some
steep grade in their vicinity, One
farmer declared that the noise was
unusually distinct sounded like a
two-t ton truck climbing the Devils
Backbone but that he never
thought OF looking heavenward to
locate it.
1t would doubtless have been
seen by greater number of persons
but for the fact that heavy mist
obscured the vision. Perhaps a
dozen persons saw it as it passed
over, the direction being from Crab
bottom toward Doe Hill.
The papers on Saturday gave
further account of the big plane.
it having hccn forced to land near
Bridgewa:et. There were two men
aboard, ai.d they had made the
trip from Dayton, Ohio, to Bridge
water, 300 miles, in two hours aud
ten minutes.
1t is predicted that the passage
of flying machines will be CON-
mon occurrence soon, and High
lauders will not be taken by sur
prise hereafter.
It is in keeping with the present
American spirit that the owner Of
The farm in Rockingham where the
visitor landed took the precaution
to get his old shot gun before lie
approached the stranded outfit,
thinking possibly it might be Ian
ned by Germans.

McCoy--Jones

The marriage of Lieut.. Geo. P
Mccoy and Miss Mabel Hillie
Jones, which took place at Ft'
Myer Saturday last at noon, proved
a surprise to all but intimate friends
of the couple, and demonstrates the
fact that Cupid is hard to out gan
eral, laughing at army commissions
as we'll as locksmiths.
Miss Jones, accompanied by her
sisters, Mrs. Robert Sterrett and
Miss Evelyn Jones, and brother,
Chas. P. Jones, of Covington, left
for Fit. Meyer Thursday evening,
and the wedding was quietly cele-
brated at noon Saturday, as stat
ed above.
The bride, a daughter of Mrs.
Matte w. and the late Hon. c. T.
Jones of this place, is not only
pro minent socially, but has been a
most useful and Influential church
worker. Her active participation
and leadership in war relief work
is known to many of our people,
since, AS chairman Of the Woman s
IService League. She has been
prominently associated with work
ers throughout the county. No
one in this community has wider
circle of warm. personal friends and
admirers.
The groom is a well known ply
stefan of Franklin and member of
the appointment Mccoy family Of
that section. He enlisted in the
Medical Reserve Corps Of the army
last fall and has been located at Ft
Meyer. 1t is expected that he will
60 over seas within a short time.
Friends of the young couple will be
a unit in hoping that for them, as
we'll as all the rest of US, the sea of
Life may soon be Gained by world
wide peace.

Automobile Stolen

A new Ford car was stolen from
Frank Bratton's private garage or
Jackson's River during Monday
night, and, up to time this is writ
ten, has not been recovered.
The theft was not discovered un'
til about S o'clock, and the road
being damp, the course of the ca,
was readily traced. 1t was driven
down the river for short distance
then turned toward Monterey, and
parties north of Monterey having
heard car pass toward Franklin
late in the night, Mr.. Bratton fol-
lowed up that clue and went to
Franklin Tuesday. As stated above,
the car is new, and was purchased
only a few weeks ago.
Later: Mr.. Bratton, accompan-
led by Sheriff Graham followed the
possible clue as far as Petersburg,
W. Va, returning to Monterey
Wednesday at noon where Mr.,
Bratton learned that the missing
Lizzie had been found some six
miles up the river from bis home,
on the road leading from the main
highway to Turnertown, back of
Mrs. Mahala Reeds farm.
Whether it was a theft, prank
or daring "lark,' has not been re-
vealed. We did not learn as to
whether the machine was damaged

an abundance of grass for pasture;

The one thing that outwejghs al
Others is the great war, and every
one is silently expectant. ready for

win.

We would call special attention
of our board Of supervisors to con-
slider the change of road now being
asked for on Sharp's Hill. There is
certainly no other piece Of road in
the county more in need Of improve
meut.
The mail from Warm Springs to
Monterey now passes daily Except
Sunday over this road and the
grade which is excessive, = degrees
togther with the mud, and the ma
ture Of the mud, very tough,
sticky clay, makes this short stretcn

The new location is shorter and
not over . degrees and l feel sure
will BE- made for less than the estl-
mate:t cost.

well that publicity be granted to the
