PECULIAR AUTO ACCIDENT.
Car Turns Completely Over Landing Up
right; No One Hurt

Saturday H. R. Webb met with al
auto accident that would not happel
again in thousand times. His aut,
turned completely over down an en-
bankment and landed. on its wheels
upright and none of the occupants re
ceived scratch, but the auto top wa.
ruined and the cooling fan was put out
of commission.
Mr. Webb. wife and Mrs. Ben H.
West and infant son started Saturday
for Chattanooga, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Webb intended to visit their daughter,
Mrs. X. A. Knowles, and Mrs. West
would visit her parents, MIR. and Mrs.
Will Harris.
AS they reached a favorable place
going down the mountain to the T. C.
railroad depot and when IN sight of it,
Mr.. Webb stopped on what is the
nearest level spot on the entire way
down the mountain, distance OF two
miles, to see that everything was in
good working order. H stopped the
machine and alighted and as he was
passing around the machine in front,
for sone unknown reason the auto
started and knocked MIR. Webb down,
but did not hurt him. Mrs. Webb put
on the emergency brake but in the ex-
cltement did not take hold of the
steering wheel and guide the car to-
" ard the middle of the road as could
have been 6nne had time not been SO
short and 81 excited. As it was the
car ran off 4 ! side of the road and
turned comp tely over, landing on
the wheels IS it was before leaving
the road.
Mrs. Webb, seeing that it would
turn over, jumped from the car and
was not hurt. Mr.. Webb rushed to
the car. fearing that Mrs. West and
baby boy were either killed or SER
iously injured. He jerked back the
curtains and took the baby out and
then assisted Mrs West to alight.
With much anxiety .s baby was un.
and the little fellow looked
np and smiled as though he enjoyed
the tumble. Neither Mrs. West or
the baby were hurt in the least.
Mr.. Webb took his car to lockwood
to have the old top repaired or a new
one furnished and then he and wife
returned home by train. Mrs. West

STOLE FUR HIDES
VIM. Mccoy Narrowly Escapes Term
In the State PenitentiarY

Some time Saturday night. Novem-
ber 80. William Mccoy. aged 81, son
of Esq. e. H. Mccoy. Genesis. broke
into the Mike Hale barn and carried
off tur skins belonging to John Hale
valued at close to 500. Another par
ty is known to have been connected
with the theft but as he was not ar
rested or brought into the case
through the courts, we refrain from
mentioning his name.
The fur skins were missed the next
morning and Mccoy and the other
party were suspected at once. Be-
lieving that positive evidence could
be readily secured against Mccoy
besides the circumstantial conditions,
that were very damaging, A. G.
Green, who is conducting a sstore a
few miles from Genesis. was asked
to try to buy the fur from Mccoy.
Mr.. Green, not being In sympathy
with lawlessness in any form, decided

fur from Mccoy for $83. 35 and then
turned it over to the owner. john
Hale.
Several parties from whom John
Hale had bought the fur hides came
up and identified a number of the
skins.
Mccoy was arrested and brought to
town Saturday tor trial, but his attor-
ney, E. &. Toilet, succeeded in hav-
ing it continued until last Monday.
Before Monday came the matter had
been compromised by Esq. Mccoy
paying John Hale a considerable
sun, which amount Mr.. Hale de-
clines to atate.
Esq. c. H. Mccoy, father of the |
boy, is member OF che

by handsome majority and is consid-

This has been forcibly brought home
to the Australian forces who have

avenues of England and France that
are planted with trees, mainly oaks
elms and poplars. No village, however
humble, seemed to be without these
avenues. which appealed so much to

In Central America many primitive
agricultural implements are still re-
tanned. The native farmer still uses
a plow with crooked tree-branch
pointed with iron. The objection to
the modern two-handled plow Is that
one hand Is needed for guiding the AMI

FROM SUNNY FRANCE,
A. W. Burnett Writes Interestingly Of
Things "0yer Thers."

The following extract from lettel
written by Arthur w. Burnett to hi
mother. Mrs. J. E. Burnett. undel
date of October 20. contains numerous
Interesting facts:
"This Is a beautiful country, farm
ing is carried on in the same manner
az we truck farm IN America. Nc
corn, but wheat oats. hay and al
kinds of vegetables. | understand
eggs are 80 cents per dozen. But
clothing is as cheap or cheaper than at
home. No candy, chocolate or sweets
of any kind on the market. Acres of
grapes and all loaded down, but other
fruits, with the exception OF figs, are
scarce this year. Plenty of wine.
"The houses are old and antique,
surrounded by stone walls, with large
iron gate entrances. The roads are
all gravel and bordered with shade
trees. which makes them very attrac-
tive. The natives burn brush. The
trees are not cut down, but the tops
are cut off in about fifteen feet of the
ground and some look as if they had
been topped for years. WOOD Is
scarce and of the very poorest.
Building material of wood the kind we
In America throw away, costs about
5000 a thousand, therefore all houses
are built of stone. with roofs of slate,
tile or thatched with specie of grass.
II see no young people, all old men,
women and children. The children,
even to the little tots, are not fright
ened at the soldiers, always greet US
with a smile.
Every one is in mourning and one
can fully realize the sorrow that these
people have had.
"We have plenty to eat, but good
drinking water is scarce. though wat
or for other purposes is plentiful.
The streams are very beautiful.
81 see no rabbits. squirrels and
very few small birds Of any kind.
Chickens, geese, ducks and all domes-
tic fowls seem to be very scarce.
"The nights have begun to be cool,
but the sun gets out during the middle
of the day-'when it is not raining.
We do not want for rain and mud
this rem inds me of the Cumberlands.
Flies bugs, mosquitoes and snakes are
very. rare.
"The railroad and railway service
are far inferior to ours: very small
engines and cars.
1--WE are looked upon by the natives
as the savior of their country all the
American boys are kind and consid-
crate and when we 60 home the popu.
.ation of this country can always say !
the American boys are gentlemen.
II am looking forward to the time |
when l can come home and we can
live in peace and happiness again.
