CHAs. CURTIS
TAKES. BRIDE
Boys Accorded Couple Re.
ception at Depot, Follow
ing With "Chivaree."

Chas. Curtis, manager of the
Sequatchie Supply Store, took
unto himself a better half last
week in the person of Miss Nam
cy Whited, of Sulphur Spring,
Ala. Mr.. ICurtis left Friday
morning for his bride, the train
apparently being too slow to suit
his impatient fancy. He arrived
Saturday evening with her, and
boys had Scofield's jenny wait
ing there to transport Charlie"
and Thanny Ellis in his "Hup"
brought the bride to her new
home. Charlie" accepted the
compliment, and lifting his hat
bestrode the awkward animal
and amid great enthusiasm fol-
lowed the machine, looking like
a second Don Quixote de la Man
cha returning from an expedi-
ton to relieve a harassed damsel.
At the home q bountiful sup
per was spread, his mother and
sister who reside with him hav-
ing been active in the cooking
line for several days.
At $50 the young folks broke
loose in a "chivaree", or chari-
vari. or serenade, and shotguns
shot holes in the atmosphere and
cowbells ratified and boys cheered
for about fifteen continuous min
utes. Quite a number of the
gentler sex also participated in
the fun. The crowd was invited
in and treats consisting of candy
and cigars were passed around.
Mr.. Curtis is very popular in
the town and he and his bride
have the we'll wishes of every
body.

head, and it was feared that his
frontal bone in forehead was
fractured. Hurry calls were
sent out Tor Drs. Irish, of Jasper,
aud Curry, of South Pittsburg,
who arrived on the scene in a
very short while and gave him
treatment.
He is married and besides his
own. family has q father mother
and brothers dependent on him.
AT last reports he is doing well.
He is manager of the station and
has to be there on constant duty
at the rather small salary Of $50
per month, which is not exces-
sive for such hazardous work.
1t is said by people living near
that the station during a storm
is a veritable carnival Of horrors
and, in fact. strange noises often
are heard. People living near
live in dread. and everytime they
hear sound, look in the direct
ion of the station, expecting to
see some dreadful occurrence.

A Tried Recipe.

The following recipe for corn
relish is sent US by Mrs. j. M.
Wolfe, of Clear Lake, Texas, who
has tried it and guarantees it
as being excellent. Many have
requested the recipe from her.
and SO she sends it for publica-
tion.
Cut grains from two dozen ears
of corn; take two small heads of
cabbage, eight onions. four pep
pers chopped fine, two cups Of
sugar, one-half cup of salt. one
half pound of ground mustard.
Mix all together, smooth with
vinegar. Cook thirty minutes
and seal while hot in glass jars.
1t will keep a year.

by 'sprinkling.
The only thing that marred the
perfect serenity of the day was
the presence of an individual
who had INDUCED in spiritus
frumenti enough to be rather
wavering on his. pins, and pro-
badly this was in opposition to
the Spiritus Sancti which was
pervading the minds of the peo-
pie under the peace and calm Of
the day. It is said that a blind
tiger" turks in mountains near
by and lashing his tail occasion
ionally sweeps weak and waver-
ing humanity into his den. Ii
this so he should be hauled out
by Sheriff Coppinger and asso-
ciates, and if they be unsuccess-
full, a posse of "revenoos" sent
on the trail. Tigers are danger
GUS to mankind. and blind"
ones, especially so to their NOR
ais.

SHOCKED BY
SUDDEN CURRENT
Robt. Buchanan, Electrician.
Badly Hurt at Trans
former Station Sunday.

Robt. Buchanon, electrician in
charge of the Public Light &
Power Co.. near Jasper was very
seriously burned by contact with
q current which came from some
hidden source Sunday morning
about 9 o'clock. while at work.
He was also badly injured by a
fall from the the top of a trans
former. on which he was stand
ing. to the cement floor of the
station, a distance of eight feet.
Buchanan and two assistants
were at work, repairing some
damage done by a storm. 1t
seems that a storm always causes
damage to the station and some
times nearly everything has to
replaced. A new wire was be-
ing put in above the transform
ers. which are large metal box
like affairs filled with oil, and
new insulators had been strung
ON this wire. Both ends Of wire
had been left unconnected and it
was thought no electricity could
enter it. Buchanan was work
ing at wire preparing to "cut in"
some other wires when he re-
ceived the shock. The trans
former on which he stood was
covered by a rubber cloth. and it
is not known where the shock
came from, unless it was static
electricity from the transformer.
One of his assistants had hold
of the wire. pulling it up into
position, and, strange to say,
was not injured. Buchanan was
thrown off the transformer, and
struck the cement floor at a
raised place built for installa-
tion of another transformer, on
his head. His hands were bad
ly burned, so much 80 that when
opened by the physicians the
bones were visible. The sole of
one foot and the fat portion of
big toe of the other were burned,
His face was badly cut with two
gashes and bad places cut in his

Enjoyable Occasion With
Good Services and Good
Dinner.

The regular May Meeting Of
the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church at Ebenezer was held
Sunday and proved a most pleas
ant affair. The church is a very
beautiful little structure. the

pitable and the fact that these

ly enjoyable.

gregation, and most excellent
man. The subject of the morn
ing sermon was THE Perfect
Man" The sacrament of the
Lords Supper was administered
at the close of the sermon.
At conclusion of morning SER
vices a spread was laid under the
trees near the church, and after
blessing by the pastor all present
enjoyed a most excellent dinner,
lots Of good things having been
produced from big baskets.
There was plenty of good things
for consumption and freely offer
ed.
At 200 services were resumed
the pastor taking for his subject
THE Cross" and delivering an
interesting sermon.

excellent choir rendered good
selections. Mrs. B. ]. Lowman
