The Wayne, w. Va. News says:-
One day last week Stephen r. Mcclure
of Herbert, brother OF Prof. T. b. Nc
Clure, OF this place, fell into Twelve
Pole and came very near being drown
ed. He was pulling some vines and
brush away from the bank and fell
over the bank into the river. The river
was up and he went under When he
came up he happened to catch hold OF
n limb and sustain himself. He cried
for assistance. A man living near by
Lorenza Dow Lockhart. who was at
home sick, heard the cries and rushed
to the river on the opposite side from
where Mr.. Mcclure was. He dashed
into the stream and swan across and
pulled Mr.. Mcclure out and up the
steep bank Mr.. Mcclure was uncon-
scious by this time and Lockhart had
TO run a half mile for help. The fam
lily came with blankets and wrapped
him and carried him to his residence.
Prof Mcclure told us Monday that
he had hopes that his brother would
recover. He is about ~ yea of age
and the doctor feared pneumonia would
follow but now he is thought to be out
of danger.
Lockhart had not been able to stir
for several days and some fear was
had that his exertion would seriously
affect, Last reports indicate that he
too is improving.

were more than realized as the pro-
ceeds of the Easter sale makes the fl
nal payment possible with more than
one hundred dollars remaining in the
treasury.
I Although busy with Red Cross duties
and other war time work several OF
the women of the church have given
much of their time to the various
means used in making dimes grow.
Several o. them a few weeks ago set
out with dime each as their capital,
In various ways they invested and re-
invested this money, until some of
them reached surprising results. Mrs.
d. C. Spencer made fifty dollars, this
being the best record made. There
were others not far below this, but we
have not a full list at hand and there
