LEAP FROM TOP Of
BRIDGE IN AUTOMOBILE
JOHN |. JONES, OCCUPANT or
CAR, ESCAPED WITHOUT RE-
cEIViNG INJURIES.

One of the most remarkable escapes
from serious accident was that of John
j. Jones Thursday morning whom his
Chevrolet car jumped from the top of
the bridge Oil the Mt. Pleasant pike
crossing the Nashville, Florence g.
Sheffield railroad, and landing ON the
railroad track twenty-five feet be-
low, without injuring its occupant.
Mr.. Jones was alone in the -car and
escaped without injury. but the car
was badly torn up. Mr.. Jones stated
that the steering gear of the machine
became useless and before he could
put on the emergency brakes the car
dashed through the banister and on
down to the tracks below.
The exact height of the bridge is
not known, but it is high enough for
train to pass under with man six
feet standing up ON top of the ears
with plenty of space to spare above
the head. Twenty-Five fleet is con-
sidered conservative by those who
know the bridge, 1t is understood
that Mr.. Jones family were ON The
porch of his home and saw the car
so over. and fully expected TO find
him dead.

JOY RIDE BROUGHT TO
SUDDEN TERMINATION
WHEN MISS ELIZABETH FORD
DOES LOoP-THE-LOOP STUNT
ON. NINTH STREET.

Phil Martin, colored, one of the en-
ployes of Moore & Sons stable and
party of colored friends, proceeded TO
have a good time Sunday, in the
"Lizzy" Of ]. G.. Moore, which termi-
mated in the serious wrecking of the
constitution of the 'Lizzy," and came
near resulting seriously for the occu-
pants.
Martin had borrowed the car from
Mr.. Moore for the purpose OF breez,ng
out a little bit Sunday and when they
were coming in on Ninth street at a
pretty merry clip the front wheel of
the machine hit a set-fast rock, and
Lizzy proceeded to do a loop-the-loop
stunt. In the action of the flip, John
Phillips, one of the occupants, and a
suffering negro, decided he would
make well his escape, and shouted out
to the other occupants "B-b-b-oys, lin
g-going tito leave this thing r-r-r-ight
now" And leave he did. He made
a paracute leap through the top, tear
ing hole equal to that of a torpedo
And strange to say he was not hurt,
and neither were asy of the other
occupants, but Lizzy-well she had to
be hauled in on an ambulance.

CITY BONDS SELL AT
PAR AND BACK INTEREST
c. A. PARKER OF MAuRY NATION
Al BANK MAKES SALE or
CITY SECURITIES.

Fifty thousand dollars and accrued
interest amounting to S2,3GS.03 has
been placed to the credit of the city
Of Columbia at the Maury National
bank as the result of the sale of $50,
600 in 20 year, five and a half per
cent funding bonds of the city. rhe
sale OF these bonds was made at par
and accrued interest by G. A. Parker,
of the Maury National Bank, to j. c..
Mayer & Co. of Cincinnati
Some difficulty had been oxper-
fenced in finding a purchaser of these
bonds, because Of the slight demand
for municipal bonds since the war,
but Mr.. Parker was able to make the
sale after some correspondence With
the Cincinnati bond house.
The sale of these bonds will enable
the city to meet its accumulated in
debtedness at a lower rate than it
has been paying. The loan has been
carried locally at per cent, but by,
the sale OF the bonds 1t will be car
ried at 51s per cent, or saving of
$3.50, which will amount to consid-
cradle sum in 20 years.

GIRLS IN CANNING CLUBS
MEET TO WORK AND LEARN

Tennessee people generally have be-
come very much interested in what
girls who are members of canning
clubs are doing. For that reason the
letter which one county agent wrote
to her girls when calling them to an
all-day meeting at the county seat will
be of value. 1t shows how the agent
expects the girls to come and to work.
She says in her letter to the girls:
1T has been impossible to meet all
Of the clubs and give demonstrations
and therefore think we will get good
from this one days work in canning
when we are all together.
II want each girl to bring jar, top
and new rubber, and something to
can, (not corn, SO that all may have
practice in this work
Il want each girl also to bring .
simple lunch and we will have lunch
together on the grounds. There will
be some time for singing and GER
eral good time
"You will be interested in meeting
the people who are going to help me
in the work, for they can help You in
your canning, drying and piclling,
brining and jelly making, ana know
that you realize how important it is
for you to know how to do ,nese
things well; because this work is your
part in helping to win the war.

the meetings and voted in all Of the

speakings and participated in the pat
riotic parade, which is pronounced
by all who have formerly attended

est in the history Of the organization.
Mr.. Digger is full of the subject.
He says that a man does not really
know what he belongs to until he at
tends one of these conventions and
sees what the great American organl-
cation is doing. He heard the address
by Secretary of Navy Daniels, the adj
dress of Gompers, the great labor
leader, and also addresses by several
United States Senators.
Mr.. Digger said that resolution
was introduced in the grand lodge
making it rule that no one should
use the language of an enemy country
in any of the lodge rooms or club
houses of the Elks, and that the penal
ty for member to use such language
was fixed at expulsion.
The grand lodge voted another mil.
lion dollars for war work fund.- This
makes two million dollars voted by
the grand lodge within the last year
for this class of work. Each member
of the order, except those who are in
the service of the United States Army
will be assessed SO much per capita
to pay this million just as the other
million was paid this year.
In describing the parade, Mr.. Dug
ger said that words were Inadequate
to give the subject justice. Il have
never seen anything like ID in all my
life, and never expect to see it equal
cd again. Everything was patriotic.
