ENTERTAINMENT.

A rare treat awaits those who on
Saturday, Nov. 18th, will go to the
High School Auditorium to be pre-
sent for the second entertainment of
the Lyceum Course. On that even
ing it will be our pleasure to hear
one of the leading impersonators
travelling in America. His name is
John B. Ratio, and he will make
you rattle with laughter. Mr.. Ratio
comes to us with a wonderful record
OF achievement since he has filled
over $500 engagements.
Mr.. Ratio will impersonate some
of the leading men of to-day, the
foreigner that comes to our shore
and especially the various types of
characters in our American COM
mnnities. His program is so varied
that from the beginning to the end !
The Morgan County press. (Wartburg, Tenn.) 1916-1926, 1921-11-11

there will not be one dull moment
One of the greatest studies ot
mankind is the study of human
character. Mr.. Ratio has made that
study and has the ability to repro
duce some of the queerest speci-
mems OF humanity with his agile
tongue and facial expressions.
This artist will initiate to pe-fec-
ton the brogue of the scotchman or
the comical conversation of the
irish. He is mimicer of excellence
and at the same time uses only such
material in his programs as is re-
fined. He amuses but educates at
the same time. The children
especially will enjoy the program.
If you want to hear an entertain
er that pleases; if you want to see
one man assume ten different char
acters in almost as many minutes,
then do not fail to hear John B.
Ratio at the High School. Nov. 19,

what we had 18 months ago. Oh
course there is not as much business
carried on now as then, but what is
being done is done on a sound busi-
ness basis with the element of un
certainty left out. 1t did not matter
18 months ago how much any one
made it took just a little more to
live on. That is not the case now.
Flour can be bought now for $1.15

tentnient among the masses of the
people than there was 18 months

OUR CEMETERY.

I 1t is the quiet spot oft dampened
by falling tears, the place where our
loved ones are laid to rest; where
the christians after running life's
course are sown as it were into the
ground unto their resurrection.
Many fond memory clings to those
lonely knobs. Eachgrave has a story
all its own to tell. The cemetery
it is the place, where some day we
shall be carried for the last repose.
Should it then not be carefully
maintained? What greater tribute
can you give the deceased than to
care for their graves-the little hill
that marks their resting place
trim the sod that has grown over
knoll! Should not a community
take pride in its cemetery?
Ill NEED-
Our cemetery Is ill-kept. The
grasses grown tall hide the graves.
Vines, bushes and Young saplings
have been allowed to take possess
sion of the burial grounds until
some parts are rather dense. It
seems to be sign that the children
have so forgotten their deceased
parents as to care no longer about
their graves. The fence is rusting
badly and needs repair. There is
room for a decided improvement of
the whole place.
THE SOLUTION
To carry out this program of inn
provement a Working Campaign"
mas been started. Two days have
oeen selected as Cemetery Days.
Friday and Saturday, Nov. Is and
I9. On those days the whole COM
nunity should volunteer to help
lean up the cemetery. Several men
will be put at the work this week.
They will supervise the cleaning.
Hereby then we issue a call to men,
women and children for workers.
Does the cemetery mean anything
o you? Then help keep it up.
Those who cannot appear for
Tork should be kind enough to full
II their duty by making a contri
ution toward this cause. Our
tanker will be ready to accept such
lifts.

Chester, Pa, Disaster Caused by
Crowd Watching Search For
Boy Drowned in River.
ONLY is SAVE LIVES
Victims, Struggling in Water Drag One
Another Under; Horrifying Scenes
Enacted-Rescue Work De-
layed BY Sight.

Chester, Pa.-At least twenty-four
persons were drowned, including men,
women and children, when one end of
the footwalk of the Third street bridge
in Chester collapsed, throwing them
into the Chester river.
The disaster was caused, police re-
port, by the presence on the foot path
of an immense crowd, watching the
operations of rescue crew graphing
for the body Of boy drowned in the
river short time earlier.
Leaps to Rescue Boy.
The boy tipped over in his frail
boat just below the bridge.
Abraham Asnes of 121 West Third
street, Chester, leaped to the rescue
from the bridge. A crowd quickly
gathered on the paths at the outer
edges of the bridge and this was aug
mented by more persons pouring from
a nearby theater Without warning
there was sharp crack and then the
slow, steady splintering of the col
lapsing wooden path. The shrieking,
struggling mass Of humanity was
dropped into the swift waters below
Men, women and children, fighting
frantically for safe footholds as the
structure gave way, were dumped bod
lily from the death trap. A few who
managed to grip the edges of the
bridge as they fell were torn from
their holds by their desperate COM
panions and pulled to their death in
the water
Bridge Drips Humanity.
For few minutes after the path.
gave way the bridge literally driped
humanity. Then the struggle on the
structure ceased and the mad fight
for life was transferred to the crowd
ed water.
Frantic in their plight, the drown
ing people clutched desperately at
each other. Many of whom would
have been saved otherwise were drawn
down into the death vortex by those
about them.
Paralyzed with horror at the TRACE
dy, those on the shores were slow in
coming to the rescue In a few min
utes, however, a score Of rowboats
swarmed to the scene and the work of
rescue was begun. OF the sixteen
saved twelve were good swimmers.
They said afterwards that the only
way they managed to keep above wa
ter was by fighting off their struggling
companions.
