CLARENCE WOOD KILLED by
LIGHTNING

The instant death OF Clarence
Wood, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Lee
Wood of this city, at his home on
the Wood farm. a few miles south
Of twon on Saturday, morning by
lightning during a thunder shower
is the saddest death that has ever
occurred in this vicinity. About Z

Bryan Beasley, a helper about the
fern, had finished milking the
cows and were in the shed of the
large barn waiting on the calves
before turning out the cows, when
lightning struck the barn. Clarence
who was sitting on the front end Of
a wagon, was hit about the head
and upper part of the body and in
stantly killed. Beasley. sitting on
the wagon tongue, was knocked
down and unconscious for a short
time, on regaining consciousness he
found thet barn on fire and Clarence
lying in the front part of the wagon
He ran to the house and got his
wife and Mrs. Wood to assist him
in getting the body Of Clarence out
OF the burning building and to the
house. Beasley as soon as they got
the body out Of danger of the fire
attempted to rescue the horses and
mules that were fastened up in the
barn, he succeeded in getting out
one Of the horses, the other horse
and a spa Of fine mules persisted
in the flames. One OF the mules,
Beasley believed. had been killed by
the lightning. A hog only a foot or
two from the feet OF Beasley was
killed by the lightning. The barn.

CONDITIONS ON LAPSED INSURANCE
 STILL HOLD GOOD

The Bridgeport Y. M. c. A. has been requested by the Treasury Depart ment of the v M C. A. to give the widest possible publiicty to the fol- lowing important facts regarding sol diers' insurance:
 To relieve any confusion that may exist in the minds of former service men on account of the special pro- vision of lapsed War Term Insurance which authorized reinstatement up to December 31, 1919, regardless of date of discharge, announcement is made by Director R. G. Cholmeley-Jones of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance that the provisions for reinstatement of lapsed or cancelled insurance, with | in Is months from date of discharge, upon payment of only two months 1 premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated, provided the insured l is in as good health at the date of discharge or expiration of the grace period whichever is the later date, land so state in his application, still hold good.
 The provision that discharged ser vice men are permitted to reinstate at any time withtin three calendar months following the month of dis icharge by merely paying the two months premiums, without making a formal application or a, statement as to health is also still in force.
 The provisions for reinstatement do not protect a man until he actually
 reinstates. If he waits he may not be lin as good health as he was at the time of discharge and consequently
 may not be able to secure reinstate- Ement.
 Don't put off reinstatement. Do ii Enow!
