Rev. PritChett Going.

The 1919 Baltimore Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church which met
in Baltimore, ended its essions Monday
of this week. AS usual the reading OF
the ministerial appointment was the last
item of business.
Rev. E. 0. Pritchett who has been
pastor of the Thurmont circuit for the
past two years has been assigned to
Brightwood, near Washington, d. g.,
and Rev. C. R. Barnes has been assigned
to Thurmont.
For Rev. Pritchett we can say that he
has done much hard work for the people
of Thurmont and of the district other
than his usual duties as pastor. In all
the big Liberty Loan, Red Cross and
other War Drives, Rev Pritchett has
led in the campaigns and to his untirlng
energy in a large measure were the
drives over the top.

DO You Sleep We'll?

To be at his best a man must nave
sound, refreshing sleep. When wakeful
and restless at night he is in no condi-
ton for work or business the next day.
Wakefulness is often caused by indges-
ton and constipation, and is quickly re-
lieved by Chamberlain Tablets. Try a
dose of these tablets and see how much
better you feel with clear mead and
good digestion.

Calls have been issued by President
j.. R. Dalton of Woonsocket. and Sec
retary F. H. Barnard of Aberdeen for
South Dakota state meeting of the
Sunshine Highway to be held at
Mitchell on Monday, January 27. at
$3.50 p. m. The Sunshine Highway
is north and south highway, origi-
nally planned to extend from Aber-
deem to Sioux City, Iowa. Due to
the activity of nationally organized
highways in the present move to se-
cure federal legislation for a National
System of Federal Roads, and also
because of the logic Of the location of
this road from national standpoint,
and in order to join strength in secur-
ing benefits that may be derived from
state legislation now pending. the or
iginators of this move have decided
to extend the organization and mark
the road from Devils Lake, North
Dakota, to Brownsville, Texas, and
this South Dakota meeting is the first
of series of meetings to be held one
in each state in the next three
months. The North Dakota meeting
will be held the following week.
Mayor Jasman of this city is the local
representative in this movement. and
is anxious that good strong deiega.

up over my head and protected my
head from bruises. AS it was, my

everything was quiet. tried to rise

then tried again. This time l was

legs at all, bus just then saw fell

called to him and asked him to pull
me out. He jumped into the wreck
age and grabbed me under the arms
aod started to pull, but | was held
fast. He looked again and then
threw timber oft of me, and then
pulled me out. My legs trailed along
like couple of pieces of old rope.
They dragged me away short dis
tance and left me lay with some more
wounded fellows. Pretty soon an
officer came up and said sect these
men away from here, there's too
much light around here. - So they
put me in blanket and carried me
away short distance. l was suffer
ing intense pain and was getting cold.
A medical detachment soon arrived
and medical officer gave me mar
cotic, but it didn't affect me very
much. Shortly after this / was laid
on atretcher and placed at the head
of long row of wounded men. A
fellow driving a car came down the
road, headed straight for Us. An Off
Ger shouted an order for him to etop.
and he began to obey orders, but
came right straight for me When
he finally did get. his car stopped the
front wheel had my head pushed over
as far as it would go. Six inches
more and my neck would have been
J broken. What that officer told that
guy was nothing SOW. Soon after
that ambulances arrived and we were
loaded and taken to French hospital.
i At four o'clock nurse up there gave
me a few whiffs of ether and my
troubles were over for that eventful
night.
| am sure that those who were for
tunate enough to come thru alive will
never forget the experiences of that
night. After the noise of the wreck
died down everything seemed go quiet
except for the shrieks and groans of
the injured men. Some were crying,
others groaning and calling for help.
while others were begging their COM
! rades to ehoot them. 1t was awful.
Men who were near me in the ca,
were nearly all killed and ! consider
my escape as something wonderful.
I talked just recently to fellow who
saw the whole proceedings and he said

The prohibition amendment to the
federal constitution has been ratified
by more than the required number of
legislatures.

Some of the non-partisan league
members of South Dakota met at
Sioux Falls last week. They repu-
dated Townley and his socialism, and
organized an independent league for
South Dakota. After the league has
succeeded in inveigling both the re-
publican and democratic parties of the
state to adopt socialism it would be a
strange coincidence if the league
would now offer the multitude of vot-
ers who oppose socialism their only
refuge.
