charge of the larceny of a watch
from a room mate at Brunswick.
The bridges between this city
and Salisbury viii not be ready

four weeks.
A disturbance which attracted
considerable attention and de-
manded the presence of Chief
Gordon Monday was raised by
the mother of Anna Parker who
has been for some time making
her home with the family of
Chas. Parker. A curtain pole,
brick bats and strong language
were used by the aggressor in
addition to a drubbing of the
girl by the mother, Mrs. Matte
Parker. Interference by two
neighbor women in behalf of the
girl procured for one of them
several raps over the head with
a curtain pole while she was
stuck in a chicken wire fence
and for the other a bump on the
head from a brick.
Arrest of Mrs. Matte Parker
followed for peace disturbance
and assault. The case has rot
yet come to trial.

WILSON LEFT COUNCIL

The insistence of France and
Italy on their claims to territory
and other advantages to them
from the war and Japan's prac-
tical ultimatum, led President
Wilson to absent himself from
the Peace Council the first of
the week. Italy's delegates al.
so stayed away from the council
for a time and Marshal Foch
threatened to resign unless GER.
tain things were done. Italy
wants a big slice Of territory
which she claims was promised
her by a secret arrangement
with England and France and
France wants the Rhine as her
eastern boundary, against all OF
which America stands hard and
fast.
Japan appears to have con.
ciuded that there is nothing in
it for her and is all off if not al.

Pretty little Miss Leana Mack
ay of Sulpher Springs, Ark,
sent her granddad Bill Oldham
a bunch of Easter eggs out of
one of which a chick was peer
ing. Bill was egg hungry but
was suspicious of the entire half
dozen when he saw the chick.
1t is strange that some peda-
gogues can make such a eonsum-
nate nuisance of themselves on
public occasions, especially those
risen high enough to be at the
head of a big, reputable school,
but there was one such here last
Friday. Suspicious of every one
else he should be watched, for
it is our belief he would do any
thing crooked he thot he could
get away with. We can refer
more particularly to the man If
necessary and give conclusive
data in support Of our assertion.

Caroline Frances Veatch in
Violin Recital

world records for each generation
but few leading children violin
lists of the age of seven classed
as prodigies.
The recital given bv Carolyn
Frances Veatch, the the seven
year old daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. c. E. Veatch of this city
at the Lyric Theatre Sunday
afternoon, classes her, in the
opinion of some of the best
posted musicians here, among
the few leading baby violinists
of the generation.
The program was given entire
ly by the baby with piano accom-
paniment before an audience of
more than five hundred invited
guests, Perfect attention and
hearty applause prevailed thru
out the entire program, followed
by personal congratulations of
scores Of guests. being conclu-
sive evidence of true apprecia-
ton.
The above is a clipping from
the Harrison Ark. Times and
refers to a pretty little grand
daughter of Mrs. Carrie Ander-
son and Marion Veatch of this

Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Veatch

Of this city and we would like
mighty we'll to have them back
here again.
There were some classical
numbers on the program.

DR.. Brock, the eyeglass man

came Wednesday from Kansas
City with Mrs. Brock in a motor

the boat at Brunswick where he

Two of the pretty girls from

track meet here Friday by pick
ing up a half' witted negro boy
in his twenties and joy riding
him about town and the country.
Oscar, the negro so favored, did
not enjoy the outing so much
as his pretty hostesses fancied
he would, for the boy tho not
the brightest, had sense enough
to know that he stood a fair
chance of being hauled from the
auto and batted about consider

that he will accept no more such
invitations from white girls, but
in case scant judgement is over

caucasians, both will suffer
humiliation if some of our boys

Mr.. Jones, owner of the big
Cropper farm south of town and
two of his sons from Denver,
were here the first of the week
looking over the farm and sur

consider such move himself if
no one else does.

About Christmas W. D. Vau-
CHAN lost clock from among
his time pieces which are dis
played on the top of a show case
in the front of his building. He
could get no trace'of the missing
clock tho it was one of the phos-
phorus faced sort which looks as
well in the dark as in the light.
Believing that the new police
chief was some sleuth he describ-
ed the clock and gave carte blanc
to recover it. Chief Gordon is
some suspicious Of several here
in and hereabout, especially one
jim Storm, a fat, greasy, impu-
dent loafer negro who has a
police record and @ few admirers
but many who keep their eyes
peeled when he is about. Cor
don got after the clock and jim
Storm at once and the same
time. jim denied but Storm
acted curious, according to Cor
don, 50 he pressed the matter
and intimated that he had an
uncomfortable place to let jim
Storm think over his past and
hgure out if had not laid cove
tous hands on the nocturnally
Illuminated Big Ben belonging
to Vaughan. Storm weakened
and Jim claimed an alibi but sug-
gested that he knew where such
a clock was that was put there
by Sam. Sam is a brother of
Storms, and only as much worse
as he is older. Chief Gordon
directed jim to Storm the Allen
cabin and bring forth the clock
or accompany him to the cosy
calaboOse, the alternative being
promptly declined and the clock
restored to its rightful owner
after doing time which should
properly be tackled on to jim
Storm and his equally non.indus-
trious brother Sam. These two
negroes are not only a disgrace
to their race here but a menace
to the town and they are not the
only ones among the young neg
roes who will have to decamp to
save their scalps unless a radical
change is made in their conduct.
There are some fat, young and
greasy looking cubs roaming
about the streets, entirely too
full of their Importance and noise
and also some slim and hungry
lockers who must be fed in some
way, yet they decline to get
busy to earn their eats. Note
the prediction; there is going to
be scatteration among the
young coons in this berg and a
suppression of some of the older
with white skins who fancy they
are immune to ordinances and
public control and do about as
they please, regardless. The
new city administration has
promised it and the worth while
citizens will see that they get it.

UNUSUAL CASUALTY
Runaway Team Wrecks Auto
mobile Woman and Child Dead
Others Injured

Thursday night of last week
Louis Sleyster, wife, baby boy,
Mrs. John Henning and boy
named Henry Bass attended
church at the German Methodist
church south of Dalton. The
same evening Harvey Renahan
called on a young lady friend
nearly two miles distant from
the church and south, going in
a buggy and one of the team
blind, in one eye, Church ser.
vices were concluded and the
congregation started home,
Sleyster and others mentioned
above in an automobile. When
but a few yards distant from
the church Sleyster saw a run
away team and buggy >dashing
madly toward his car. He
swerved in the road to let
the runaway pass but the team
also swerved and ran head.on
into the car, apparently under
taking to jump over it. Mrs.
Sleyster on the rear seat was in
stantly killed by her head being
bent back over the seat and her
neck broken, Mrs. Henning
crushed and unconscious, Louis
Sleyster at the wheel sitting
upright but knocked uncon-
scious and badly bruised, the
two year old baby boy crushed
and bruised so that death claim
ed him Friday, Henry Bass
badly hurt tho escaping with
no broken bones.
When the wreck was reached
Immediately, this was the con-
dition of the occupants and
wrecked car and the horses ly-
ing one on each side and appar-
emily dead but when stirred with
kicks, they got up and were
practically uninjured. For sew
eral days Louis Sleyster and
Mrs. Henning were thot to be
fatally injured but have survived
and will fully recover, Henry
Bass is o. k.
Just how the team got loose
from the place where it was
hitched will perhaps never be
known, nor why it ran two miles
and instead of turning at the
right place for home, con-
tinued down the road to the
church, but the disastrous fact
is that it took its course where
damage to humanity was in
evitable.
| ~Renahan knew nothing of
Rthe escape of his team until
phoned by some who recognized
| it, when he hastened to lend
what assistance he could to the
injured. TIL eories which may
involve the reputation of some
of the best people in that neigh
borhood have been advanced
and suggestions misinterpreted
but these and all the sympathy
lavishly extended the stricken
husband cannot restore the lost
to him nor obliterate the heart
felt regrets of the whole neigh
bUrhood.

Farm Bur-
By Sam JorS
County Wide Sheep Meeting

This meeting will be held at
2:30 o'clock on April 30th. The
main idea is to consider matters
relative to marketing wool. The
County Farm Clubs are taking
charge of this meeting and it
will be attempted to work out
details with reference to market
ing and such other matters as
will appear to be important.
President G. W. w. Garhart, de.
sires to urge that all Far
clubs be represented at this
meeting.
Bee Meeting
The meeting of the bee keepers
will be held at Mendon on
May 3rd at 1:30 O'Clock in the
afternoon.
A few days ago a bee keeper
of the county asked me if | thot
there was any European Foul
causing bee trouble in this coun-
! ty. This man certainly does not
understand the nature of this
disease, because it seems to be
the one trouble that is killing of
the bees in such vast numbers.
1t can be controlled only when
we know how to handle the mat
ter after we have recognized the
disease.
During the afternoon we will
visit as many places as possible
where bees are kept and make an
examination and find whether or
not the disease may be present.
The Annual Bureau Meeting
This meeting promises to be a
great affair and part of the tai.
ent that we have secured can be
announced later but it is suffi.
cient to say that a splendid pro,
gram will be rendered. On the
second day in the forenoon the
construction of the magnum ter
race, and the threshermen's
meeting in the afternoon. These
two events are, of course, Of
enormous Importance and it is
sincerely hoped that the entire
county will be thoroughly rep.
resented.

KEYTESV|LLE 4. S. WON
-Four Cups for Local Teams
Best Athletics Ever
Ideal Day.

day were CT a very high class
tho not, as a whole, superior to
a former exhibition of skill and
endurance on the same grounds.
The day was superb, the
track good and the attendance
larger than was expected and
the best of sport disposition
manifested by the unusual num-
ber Of entries and heads of the
various schools represented ex-
cept in a single unfortunate in
stance. This gentleman made
it very disagreeable for other
school superintendent, evident
ly from over-eagerness and un-
warranted suspicion. He was
the only person engaged in the
numbers on the program who
failed utterly to show a true
sport spirit, The girls and boys
in the events were splendid in
sport spirit, social and athletic
qualities and elicted the hearth
est applause for efforts tho un-
successful. The girls were eX-
ceptionally pretty and physically
perfect and the boys the mater
ial of which men Of worth are
made and each challenged the
admiration of all observers.
We give below the scores in
every event, and mention that
for the Courier Gold Medal for
the girl winning the most
points in athletics, there was a
tie, Miss FlorelIa Cook Minor of
K. H. S. and Miss Ruth Grotjan
of B. H. S. securing the same
high number. There are only
two ways out of the dilemma
for US. Special mention of
those making excellent scores
and displaying the best of form
would be in order but as this
account will stretch out consid-
erably as it is. we make the
depression to Miss Mary Bennett
as a nail driver, Miss Florella
Minor as a sprinter, Charles
Myers and Florian Harms as
track men hard TO head and Miss
Hazel Horton as a swift one,
with little a little more training,
will carry off honors for S. H,
S. on any track where there Is
a meet and she is booked to run.
The oration by Marvin Taylor
with John Carston a close second
and Jerrold Hart of Sumner by
no means far behind either, the
essay by Miss Maude Brewer
as winner and with Miss Stevie
Brockman second only by fine
line and Miss Louise Dotson held
by many to be as good as the
best were only surpassed in
point of excellence and enter.
tainment of the large audience
which packed the court room to
overflowing, if great preference
could be felt, was the declama-
tion of Miss Ruth Merchant.
Nothing but unstinted praise of
the charming little girls number
has been heard here. Edward
Herring made a fine hit tho pit
ted against two such invincibles
as Misses Merchant and Girls
wold. That the four minute
speeches were excellent was
guaranteed by the known ability
oof the handsome young women
speakers.
The decorations of our school
building and the big court room
for the events were fine and
most appropriate and if the day
has not fixed itself IN the minds
of all who were present, per-
formers and spectators, indelibly
then there is indeed loss of ap-
probation for high class work
by select young women and
men.
The entries, scores athletic
and literary. are as follows:
