YOUNG LADIES IN AN
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
Machine Completely Overturned, But
No One Was Seriously Hurt.

Misses Bertha Brim, Ethel Horsley
and Emily Wilkes had a narrow es-
cape from serious injuries Wednesday
morning when the car, a Ford coupe,
in which they were riding overturned
on Crawford street near the home OF
Mr.. William Kennedy.
1t seems that when Miss Brim, who
was driving, turned to the side OF the
street to allow another car to pass
her machine struck sand in the ditch
and caused her to lose control. The
car Jagged back and forth across
the street for fifty yards or more and
then crossed the sidewalk and crashed
into fence, which caused the right
front tire to blow out and the ma
chine to overturn. Several from neigh
boring houses rushed to the scene OF
the accident and the young ladies
were taken from the wrecked car. Miss
Horsley was sent home unconscious,
while the other young ladies suffered
only only minor injuries. All the
young ladies quickly rallied from the
shock, and are none the worse tor
their unpleasant experience.

BAPTISTS ERECT BUILDING
FOR THE BARACA CLASS
Was Made Necessary by Growth of
Class in Recent Months.

The Baptist Barracks assembled
their large class Sunday in the new
building on the church lawn which
was erected as an urgent necessity, as
the class had outgrown their quar-
tiers in the church. A sufficient force
was put on the job TO complete it in
few days. A special program m2rk-
ed the opening of the class room, the
occasion being full of interest and en-
thusiasm.
The building is we'll planned to meet
the needs of the constantly increas-
ing numbers and the equipment looks
to the comfort as we'll as to the prog
ress of those who come together each
Sabbath for the study of the Bible.
The class is we'll organized with an
efficient corps of officers. Mr.. J. c.
Duke is the teacher.

BAPTIST BARRACKS KEEP
UP THEIR WINNING WAYS
Third Game, Like Former Two, Were
Taken From Methodists.

L iii GdALIC, LINZ 4OAlllSA w. "SAS
Taken From Methodists.
The Baptist Barracks scored their
third victory over the Methodist Bara-
cas- Thursday afternoon in their third
game of baseball, the score being
eight to seven
The Methodists led off in booking
runs and had gotten to the pitch of
5 to 0 when the Baptists began the
fireworks and scored their first but not
last run. The game was soon tied, and
was held in that state until the latter
half of the ninth inning when the Bap-
lists scored their winning run. The
game was by no means errorless, er-
rors accounting for most of the runs.
However, it was one of the most in
teresting games of the season, and
was witnessed by a large crowd. Cooke
in left field for the Methodists and
Cannon at second base for the Bap-
lists featured in fielding, both making
nice catches. Cannon also featured at
bat, scoring a single and triple out
of three times at bat. Julian Cooke,
the old-timer and left handler, twirled
for the Methodists, with Hayes re-
ceiving, while Reddick of Herod fame
did mound work for the Baptists, with
McNulty catching. The umpires were
K. S. Worthy and E. E. Cooke.
Due to the fact that the Sunday
schools will unite in a picnic Thurs
day the two classes will not meet
again until Thursday of next week.

STRAWBERRIES WILL

Local. ' are good for success. Mr..

J. T. C o%nty from Kentucky some
rel tb Io[ AGO, in going about the coun-
mons has noticed much land which is
t.. ma. MAJ for growing this luscious
sultaO, Which in the county he lived IN
trnll WV, Wv has proved to be great
hen Iuo+ with the farmers. Mr.. Cush-
pr0duC, has leased tract OF land near

psJni' 'known farmers having pledged
wei ntant certain acreage IN the trult

aa.s.oriation which will arrange for

l dasred acreage has been pledged.
u'S NJ Crshenberry came from sec

Growing o,r1 has proven a great success,
s cd having noticed that much of the
H iand here is adapted to the growing
II" l'' tbe frnit he decided to make an eff
fort here to interest the people in this
new new opportunity to raise a product TOR
which there is always a demand. He
has recently had letter from broth
or in Kentucky who states that he
made this season an average of so to
N crates of berries to the acre, which
i onIv about a half crop, and these
berries brought 5000 per crate f. o. b..
the shipping point. The average yield
is about 100 crates to the acre, and
at this rate strawberry growing would
be a profitable business.
Another good feature about grow
ing strawberries is that they are mark
eted in the spring of the year, thereby
bringing the grower money between
cotton shopping and cotton picking
time, when money is scarce times dull
and labor plentiful According to Mr..
Cushenberry labor is much more plen-
tiful here than in the state from which
he came. and this also is favorable
to growing berries here at a profit.
The average cost of putting out an
acre in strawberry plants and fertiliz-
ing it is about $24, with the labor in
addition, which is not much. From the
above figures it seems that strawberry
growing would be a paying PROPOSE
ton here and no doubt many of the
farmers will decide to put out some
OF the plants.
As soon as the movement gains a
little more Roadway some one who
knows the best methods of growing
strawberries will be secured to lecture
here on the subject. Any who may
be interested in the matter should see
Mr. Cushenberry, who will be glad to
give any information he can in regard
to the movement and the success
Kentuckians are having growing ber-
ries.
