Over The County

Ger esee News: Genesee, to all IN
tents and purposes, is as dry as
Bryan plank in democratic plat
form. But in spite of this Mojave
desert in which we are living comes
the story of q man who resides in
our district, the same happening
last week.
IA One of the men of the neighbor-
hood had in some way beaten his
wife out Of the job OF moving the
lawn, and had piled the grass up
in a large pile. When he stopped
over to gather it away, a large
black snake wrapped around his
arm. With a yell that would wake
the dead, he shouted for help and
neighbor woman went to his res
cue with hoe. When the grass
was paved over an old bicycle tire
was unearthed. But the gentleman
still AYERS he is afraid as death of
snakes.
Troy News: A. Romig, the cement
contractor. arrived the first of the
week and is very busily engaged
with the erection of new dam at
the site OF the old one that was
destroyed last spring by the high
water. 1t is estimated that two or
three weeks will finish his work on
the dam and then he will start work
on the sidewalks.
Deary Press: Traffic from south
of town now comes in over the. new
Pine Creek road. This thorough
fare, when completed, will be

Mr.. Porter has gone to conidserable
expense and time in adding thi:
feature to the bank corner, but yor
just watch when the grass ane
flowers appear, it it isn't worth
while to MAINTAIN such beauty
spots.

Mrs. Ben Callison

This community was deeply griev-
ed last Friday evening to learn of
the death of Mrs. Ben Callison,
which occurred at St. Lukes' Hos
pital, following long illness. 1t
was believed a short time before
her death that she was rallying and
the physicians in charge of the case
stated there was hope Of her recov-
cry. However, death came quite
suddenly.
Mrs. Callison was born in Howell
County, Missouri, November l, 1876.
In 1899 she was married on Amer
ican ridge to Mr.. Ben Callison. To
this union two children were born,
son and daughter. She is surviv-
ed by her husband, two children,
and two brothers, Martin Thomas
of Kendrick and Wesley Thomas OF
Charleston.
Mrs. Callison was a woman o1
splendid character. She had a host
of friends in the American ridge
community and in Kendrick. Ir
her death the American ridge
church has lost one Of its mos
ardent workers..
The funeral was held at Moscow
Tuesday. 1t was fitting that Rev. j
e. Gregory, of Newberg, Oregon, ;
very close friend of the Callisol
family. should have charge of TIT
service. His daughter, Mrs. Dori
Gregory Wade, Mrs. CalIison'
dearest friend, came from Craig
mont to sing at the funeral. 1
large number of friends were pres
ent from American ridge and Kend
rick to pay their last respects t
their departed friend. The bod
was laid to rest in the Moscow cen
, etery.

A Narrow Escape

A. K. Carlson had a narrow es-
cape Thursday afternoon. He was
standing near the shelving in the
back of the hardware when it gave
way. The shelves were loaded with
hardware. much of it very heavy.
He didn't have time to get away
before it fell, so stood close to the
shelves as he could, and most OF the
hardware went over his head. AS
it was, he came out of it with some
bad bruises about the head and
back. Had he not used presence of
mind in staying close to the shelv-
ing, the entirev weight of the con-
tents of the shelves would have
fallen upon him. 1t is estimated
there was a ton or more of weight
on the shelves.

Won By a Scratch

They met by chance upon the stair;
The guests arose with anxious mien
And tiptoed forward toward the
pair
Expectant Of stormy scene.
No one could think what had been
done
To cause the strain between the
two;
Both had admirers; every one
Would feel relief when it was
through.
She, small, endowed with youthful
grace,
Fur-wrapped and ready Tor the
street,
Blue of eye and sweet of face,
Poised herself on dainty feet.
But why could not he let her go?
The brute! With feet set wide
apart
He held his ground, nor seemed tc
show
= A symptom of pulslng neart.
Aha! The crisis has been passed
She's free to go where e'er she
may,
He, trembling, unprepared at las
To stop her flight or say her nay
(He raised foot to scratch his ear
And opportunity came up
To cause smile and check tear,
And free the kitten from the pup!
