the crop OF Joy leaves that he has
cured at his home here, which were
grown in his family garden on

A car driven by DR.. w. C. Hall
went over the bank near Hemphill
on Wednesday evening after dark.
Ike Belcher, who was in the car, es-
capped injury by juhping out as it
left the road. The bank is about a
hundred feet high at this point and
is about forty five degrees. 1t is hard
to see how DR.. Hall escaped fatal in

river, and was held in such a posi-
tion that he just could keep his head
out Of the water until assistance ar
rived. He was severely bruised, cut
and scratched up, but, does not seem
to have received any serious hurt
