Death of Miss Reeves.

Miss Louise Reeves, daughter of
Mrs. w. D. Reeves, Helena, Ark,
died last week on the 10th inst. in
Washington City of influenza. The
young lady, recent graduate of one
of the noted Eastern seminaries, was
in Washington, periodically serving
her country in war emergency work.
She was about twenty years of age,
and is survived by her mother and
family of five children. Mrs. Reeves
is the widow of the late w. D..
Reeves, who was reared and we'll
known in the county. She was a
native of Kentucky and a woman of
much personal charm and beauty.
The daughter was a namesake and
doubtless inherited her mothers in
telligence and charming graces. Mrs.
Reeves reached Washington just be-
fore the death of her daughter, and
had the remains shipped back to the
home in Helena. .

Fell $500 Feet.

r. P. Whitesell returned last Sat
urday from Fort Worth, Texas, after
visit to his son, Sgt. Hunter White
sell, who is in the aviation section
of U. S. Army at Carruthers Field,
Fort Worth. Mr.. Whitesell stated
that the aviator was doing remark
ably well after his remarkable es-
cape from death. He was drilling
with his cquad and they were flying
in a V-shape at a height of $500
feet, when the aviator at his side,
either accidentally or without pres
ence of mind, broke rank and struck
his machine, disabling the latter and
causing Aviator Whitesell to drop.
He descended like a dead weight one
thousand feet or Whereabouts before
he could get his machine righted and
then he checked the velocity of the
descent by turning it in a spiral
course. AS he was reaching the
ground he changed the position of
the machine side up and dropped it
on one of the wings, thus, in
miraculously skillful way, saving
himself from death. OF course he
was stunned, and when released it
was found that his left jaw and nose
were broken and on the right side of
his face a very ugly scar was made.
1t was a rare case of cool, calm
judgment, and certain death if he
had failed to take advantage of pos
sibilities left to a damaged machine,
an instance of one in thousand saw
ing himself. The wounded man was
taken to the hospital and placed in
the best of surgical care and nursing.
The bones of the jaw were reset and
wrapped with wire and his nose and
face were dressed, and while he will
have a scar or two the surgeon as
sured Mr.. Whitesell that the traces
of the fall will soon be nearly re-
moved. The friends in Union City
tender kindest greetings to Sergeant
Whitesell.

Death of Mr.. Homer Reeves.

The death of Mr.. Homer Reevesy

reported here Monday, the 14th inst,

he had been stationed for some

CITY SCHOOL NEWS.

The schools will open as soon as
physicians think it safe. This may
be Monday, October I'll, or it may be
later. A notice will be placed in the
post office a few days before.
The Government is urging us to
save all nut shells and fruit pits
from which to manufacture carbon
for gas masks. Collections will be
made at school and other public
places. Be faithful. This seems a
small matter, but it means the life
or death of many of our soldiers.
A. e. Winship, of Boston, says:
"Truant and parents who allow their
children to stay out of school face
the charge of being slackers." In
the last City School News published
in this paper it was shown that an
education is worth to the average
boy or girl $4,000 or about $12 for
each day the pupil attends school.
And yet, several cases of absence
have been reported since that time
for excuses that would not have kept
the child away from a job if he had
been earning wages. There are still
many people who have not the slight
est idea of the value of school or of
the harm they do the child when
they keep him out of school for just
a day or so.
Our aim is that each day our
school shall do just little better
work and do it just a little more
cheerfully than it did the day before.
There is unusual harmony in the
faculty, in the school board, and
among the pupils.
Report cards for all pupils will be
sent out each quarter of the school
term. Letters are sent parents each
month in tho case of 6 pupil doing
poor work.
Begin now to prepare for next
summers garden. In future years
it will be a source of satisfaction to
the child to recall that he helped TO
produce food for the army that put
an end to all war.
Buy more bonds.

Pneumnoia Cure.

One pint of onions after they are
peeled and sliced, one-half pint of
good vinegar, three pints of wheat
bran. Place the onions in warm
water, cover tight to exclude air,
boil until very tender, add vinegar
and some more water, and thicken
with wheat bran. Spread one-half
inch thick between thin cloth large
enough to cover the whole chest !;
put this on as hot as can be borne,
repeat in five or six minutes, keep
this up for three hours. Then place
a warm antiphlogistic poultice over
the lungs. Repeat this in twenty
four hours if necessary. This is
enough for two large poultices, SO
you can keep one hot all the time by
replacing it back into the vessel used
for making it. This never fails
where properly used. Any informa-
ton desired can be had by tele-
phoning 40, Woodland Mills, Tenn.
