prove 1atal, but happily has caused
no serious results. Mr.. Craft let one
of the lines fall from the wagon and
| it wrapped around the wheel in such
manner as to jerk the horse back
suddenly and throw the child from
the wagon, striking its head on the
pavement, and the horse being
thrown back with such force that it's
hoof struck the child's forehead. cut
ting deep cash which required sew
eral stitches to close. The little fell
low was carried into Hotel Cutler,
where physicians were called and
cleansed the wound. and after the
child had recovered from the enects
of the anaesthetic. he was laughing
and eating and enjoying life gener-
ally.
Monday marked the day of the be-
ginning of the weeks drive through
out the state for the men and mil
lion movement, for the purpose of
raising funds to meet the emergency
in the educational, missionary and
benevolent work now confronting the
Christian church, such a situation
never before having been faced by
the churches Of our land, and all
churches have in some manner been
appropriating funds to meet the
emergency.
The plan is to raise s1.000,000, but
the work has been so successful thus
far that it is possible the higher
mark will be reached without any
difficulty, as people are responding
literally toward this movement. A
special fund of million and quar-
ter dollars is to be raised in the
United States. 100000 is the appro-
priation for Illinois, $4,000 being the
appropriation for Hancock county,
which makes about $500 per mem
Der, making for the Carthage church
some 5000, but it is planned to raise
$1,000 and purchase Liberty bond,
which can be turned over to the
work, thus serving two purposes,
helping the government indefinitely
and also aiding the missionary and
benevolent institutions as well.
Rev. E. M. Smith took the matter
up with his members at the Sunday
morning services, and was gratif1ed
with the response as $725 was raised
within a few minutes, and not nearly
all of the members of the congrega-
ton were present at the morning
services, hence it is hoped that when
all have had an opportunity to con-
tribute Carthage Christian church
will go over the top of it's quota.
