-Messrs. C. F. Sherer and Andral
Sherer had quite close shave for
their lives in serious automobile
wreck last Monday night. They were
driving up North Congress street, at a
pretty rapid rate in a big seven pas
senger touring car, when they over
took a truck loaded with young peo-
pie. In running to the right to miss
the truck the big automobile went a
little too far and crashed against an
electric light pole. Both Of the Messrs.

but not seriously hurt. Mr.. c. F. Sher-
er was cut about the nose and lip and
otherwise bruised; but was able to
walk. Mr.. Andral Sherer was less
painfully hurt. The right front wheel
of the car was smashed, and the elec-
trio light post was broken so badly
at the top that a new one had to be
substituted.

The Winnie Davis Chapter. U. u.
c., has somewhat changed the form OF
their original invitation to the annual
dinner to be given to the Confederate
veterans next Tuesday, June 8. 1t Is
desired to honor the veterans OF the
late war as we'll as the Civil war, but
because Of the large number OF veter-
ans of the world war. there is no salts
way of knowing just how TO
make preparation. If all should come
there would be close to thousand:
but it Is reasonably certain that all VIII
not come, and If preparation should be
made for a thousand, and only two or
three hundred should come, there
would be a great deal Of waste. So In
view of the problem presented the Ia
lies have decided to extend their inVi-
.ation IN all Confederate veterans, WI
-es and widows Of Confederate veterans
md all returned members Of the expe-
litionary forces.
