A Serious Accident

Word came in last Sunday from
Thornburg that the youngest son of
John Rescorla had two fingers blown
off by giant cap.
1t appears that Mr.. Rescorla had
been doing some road work last fall
and had some of the caps left. The
young boy had found them and in
some way set one of. He came to
the house with the top of his third
huyer of and the little finger man
gled on his left hand. He said he
was shot but would not say how il
happened. 1t was not until his father
found II piece of the cap In his finger,
that they knew what had happened.
Mr.. II. +. Low bought the boy and
father to town where he is receiving
medical attention.

A Bad Fire on Strawberry

George +. Davis had the misfor-
tune to lose his home on Strawberry,
Tuesday afternoon, together with all
contents, clothing aud personal ef-
fects.
1t seems the fire started from a
defective fiue, between the ceiling
and roof. Mrs. Davis aud two small
children Zone being only month
old) was present, and discovered the
fire; she did her best to extinguish it,
but owing to the inflamable material
on which 1t fed, was unable to do So
The heat and smoke was becoming
intense, so she grabbed the two
children and ran to the nearest
neighbors, but by the time help ar
rived the house WAS . mass OF fame.
Mr.. Davis was absent attending to
his duties AZ teacher Of the Straw
berry school. The loss will be over
$1,000 with only $500 insurance, and
will be heavy blow to these worthy
young people who were just getting
nicely started in life.

No More Water Stealing

Under the town management Of
the water works 1t was the boast OF
qnite few people that they never
paid for the water they used, getting
out Of their obligation in one way OF
another. There are still few peo-
pie In town who evidently think that
they are exempt from payment for
the water they use. A reading Of the
state law, covering this. matter and
publised in another column Of this
issue Of The Hetald, will, or ought
to, convince them that they are
laboring under q false impression.
The law referred to, shows that 1t 10
a very serious matter to take water
without paying for IL; or to In any
way tamper with the water System.
Violators Of this law are now given
ample notice; II they continue 10
their unlawful acts, they do so at
their own risk.

Death Of Mrs. Joseph clinard

This community was shocked to
hear Of the death Of Mrs. Joseph
Clinard, which occurred last Monday.
Deceased was one Of the first to be
taken down with the flu. She made
y splendid fight against the work Of
the Death Angel, but despite the
best OF nursing and medical care, she
passed away as noted with smile on
her face.
The funeral was held from the
Methodist church Wednesday after
noon. under the auspices OF the Re-
bekahs of which society she was .
member. The house Of worship was
tilled to Overlooking by friends who
had gathered to pay RESPECT to the
memory OF u devoted wife, mother
and worthy helper In every good
cause.
Deceased was born at Baileys Park
County, Colorado, May ., 1882, and
was married to Joseph Clinard At
that place, June II, 1900. To them
were born five children, all boys.
Two have preceded the mother to
the Great Beyond. The sorely be-
resved husband, sons Robert, Orvitle
and Earl, and an aged mother and
four sisters are left to mourn the
passing away OF this. worthy member
OF our community.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clinard and children
came to Meeker in 1909 and have re-
sided here ever since.

The present per capita consump-
tion Of the potato in America is less
than three bushels-ab0ut one-third
that of Europe. America has not kept
step. 1t is timely that Colorado, with
her total annual production of about
fifteen million bushels. should do her
part towards increasing the consuinp-

HERE'S A FINE EXAMPLE
FOR Mr.. WHISKEY MAN.

There are yet people in the land
who 'cuss' the government for ''tak-
ing a mans privileges away from
him. We refer to the federal act
creating national prohibition. These
same people seem to think that it is
also alright for them to make and
sell whiskey, and if they don't act
ually make, they buy it and drink it,
and all the while wonder why the
government wants to take away this
privilege"
Well, here's story right here in
the shadow of the homes of Telfair
county, that is the best argument we
have seen against whiskey and its
unholy traffic. 1t is a story that
should cause every REAL man to
revolt against the practice of making,
selling and drinking whiskey. Read
1t, just as it appeared in the daily
press yesterday. 1t is a story of a
young white farmer named Bass
who went home drunk and became
enraged at his wife, ran her away
from home in his rage, and then shot
her dead, with nursing baby in her
arms and two little tots clinging to
her dress in their fear of their brutal
and bloodthirsty father. Read it
and see if you think that anything
that will cause such inhuman acts as
this is good for US. Here is a part
of the story, taken from a daily dis
patch, just as it was sent out from
Dublin:
Accounts of the shooting from
eye witnesses are that Bass was seen
following his wife up the road to-
ward neighbours house, where she
seemed to be going with her baby in
her arms, abusing her. He first
struck her over the head, knocking
her into the ditch beside the road
When she recovered her feet and
started on again he shot at her, the
full load from the shotgun going into
her abdomen. She attempted to rise
again and he shot a second time.
He then ran, and parties who
came by in an automobile just a few
moments later, found the woman ly-
ing in the road, wounded, still holding
to her baby, boy about two years
old, and another boy about five
standing near. They brought both
mother and children to Dublin and
put the woman in a sanitarium, where
she later died.
Bass was drunk and had run his
wife away from home, leaving sup.
per hot on the stove ready to eat
She was going to a neighbours house
when shot. "-Telfair Enterprise.

HANDSAWS NAH. ORDERS
AND OTHER LIKE THING

We will venture the assertion that
no one in Marietta will associate the
two things--handsaws and mail or
ders-as being alike at all, yet there
are people in Marietta and in Cobb
County who never need a handsaw
but that they think about some mail
order house where they think they
might save few cents by sending
some money away from home.
We are free to admit that such
things have been done as to save a
dime or quarter, and they may be
done again, but there are SO many
ways to save and to lose that it may
take an expert book-keeper to tell
when you have really saved anything
when you send dollar away.
Certainly this is time to consid-
err we'll before you buy any money
orders to send away for handsaws
or anything else that is kept in Ma.
rietta store.
Aside from any patriotic motive
for trading at home let us tell you
the handsaw story, just as it actually
happened in town not so far away
Mr.. Jones needed handsaw and
going into Mr.. Smiths store in the
town where he lived, asked to see q
handsaw.
81 want a good one but / don't
want to pay much for it."
81 see," says Smith chow will this
one do YOU"
"That looks pretty GOOD says
Jones' How much?"
"That one will cost you $3.50. OF
course l have some cheaper, but yor
said you wanted a good one." -'---.
eyes," says Jones, "but you are
too high l like that brand all right
1t is a good saw, but can get the
same saw from Chicago for 1925
"Well suppose l let you have it or
the same terms and cost as the Chi
cago saw will cost you"
"All right, wrap it up"
"Well you send money order, il
costs 3 cents, and. your postage on
your letter is 2 cents more, and you
must send 16 cents more to pay the
postage on the saw, so all this on the
1925 makes $2.46 as the actual cost
of the Chicago saw"
Jones paid the $2.46 as Smith was
wrapping up the saw and then he
turned around and put the package
away up on the top shelf, saying as
he did so "Call around in about q
week or ten days and get your saw
1t would take about that long to get
it from Chicago, if it did not get
lost in the mails
'T'm cured" says Jones, "and I'm
going right home and burn up that
internal catalogue. Here's your 9TH
er four cents, hand me that saw"
