| The Congregational Mems club

Two passenger trains were taken
off on this division, last Monday, Nov.
liz. How soon the service will be re-
stored no one can tell. The 6:05 east
bound in the morning and the 9:25
west bound in the evening are impor-
tant trains on this line, and it will ma
terially inconvenience lot OF people
here: the service has not been any too
good with the two trains on. The pros
poets of freight service are, if any
thing, still worse. The reason given is
the coal situation.
The members of the Phoenix Club
to which Mr.. L. A. Anderson belongs,
were invited to the Anderson home last
Tuesday evening. Mr.. Anderson wish
ed to say good bye to his friends before
leaving for Chicago Mrs. Anderson
served splendid lunch to about 20
guests, and the evening was spent en-
loving music and good fellowship. Mrs.
Anderson and the children will continue
to live in the fine home on Bentley
Place during the winter. Mr.. Ander-
son expects to be able to spend the
week END with his family here.
Mr.. Lamoreaux of the high school
wanted his football boys to see one of
the big games of the season. Funds
became the problem; it was intended
as a treat for the boys. A squad of
! high school co-eds was organized to
canvass the town to meet the expenses
of the excursion. The response was
Immediate and generous. Friday even
ling box social in the high school
melted additional means of transporta-
ton and subsistence. Bright and early
Saturday morning the lucky bunch
boarded the west-bound and had a day
of it, sightseeing, watching the Wis
consin- Ohio battle, and having fine
/ time generally. They returned on the
evening train, proud Of their expert
Isnce, just trife disappointed because
Ohio got those three points; tired, but
lpleased.
! Johnnie Willie, the nine year old
| son of Henry Willie, clerk in the post
office, was run over by Ford car Mon
day Just as school let out and the chill
Idren were on their way home. The ac-
cident took place or Henry street, just
where the sidewalk is blocked and
pedestrians have to take to the middle
of the street to get by. The car fender
hit the boy, striking him in the lip and
mouth, knocking him down, and the
car wheel ran over his right leg about
three inches above the ankle, fractur-
ling both bones. 1t was bad fracture,
the small bone breaking through the
muscle, protruding the surface. The
boy was picked up by Mr.. Jerry Hinkle
and taken to the Shearers' Office. DR..
Harry Shearer reduced the fracture
under the X-ray machine. The boy
was taken to the home or her aunt,
Mrs. Otto Griep. Tuesday the three
Drs. Shearer made an examination OF
the fracture. The X-ray showed that
the bones had been properly set, and
the leg was put in a cast. The boy is
as comfortable as possible under the
circumstances. Barring complications,
the little fellow has good chance of
perfect recovery. The boys father is
widower with five children to look
after, and his sister, therefore, took
little Johnnie in in order that he may
have the best of care. The driver OF
the car was young man, Walter Bue-
low from Clintonville, here on visit.
TIe very naturally feels badly about the
matter, though no one charges him
