Dresden Cemetery

Some weeks ago, when here at
tending the funeral of his father
Mr.. Hubert Finch expressed himself
as more than gratified to note the
beautiful condition of the Dresden
cemetery. He said that in all his
travels he had never seen a cemetery
given more attention than this one.
A few days ago Mr.. Finch ex-
pressed his appreciation of the good
work the ladies Of the cemetery
association are doing by sending
them two checks--one of $40 for
membership dues and one for $50
as donation to the association, and
both in appreciation Of the associ-
atoms splendid work.
Just recently the association has
extended the water pipe and new

have taken out some of the old,
unsightly cedar trees and still have
plans for other work, including a
graveled drive way clear through
the plat.

MAN IS ATTACKED
. BYFEROC|OUS BULL
Infatuated Animal Cores Vic
tim on the Ground. Big
Bull Shot Twice

Will McWherter, near Palmers-
vile, came very near being gored
to death by ferocious Jersey bull,
and but for the timely arrival of a
neighbor, Mr., Sam Atkins, McWher-
ter might have been killed. Atkins
lives near the McWherter place and
saw the attack by the bull upon Nc
Wherter. Rushing into the house he
procured his shot gun and fastened
to the field, where the animal had
McWherter down and was making
an effort to gore him.
Atkins fired at the bull, hitting
him in the side, but this appeared to
infuriate him all the more, and it
was necessary to fire a second shot
into the BULBS head before he was
driven off. McWherter was assist
ed to the house. He was painfully
bruised and on Tuesday was con
fined to his bed under the care of a
physician.
The bull was finally killed. Mr.
McWherter placed yoke on the
animal Monday morning and this
seems to have aggravated him, as
heretofore he Jhad been perfectly
gentle and safe. That afternoon
Mr.. McWherter went to the pasture
where the bull was feeding and was
attacked.

DICK MAIDEN IS
ELECTED MARSHAL
City Water and Light Rules to
Be Enforced. Plumbers Must
Make Reports Of Work.

A called meeting of the board of
mayor and aldermen was held al
Mayor McWherter's office Monday
night for the purpose of electing a
city marshal, Dick Maiden being
elected on the third ballot.
The question Of separating the
office of city marshal from that of
water and light collector presented
itself to the board, but a majority
did not deem it wise or prudent to
do so, and the marshal will have
charge of this work, as we'll as en-
forcing the city ordinances, super
intending all street work and keep
ing drains free from trash. The
board went on record as favoring
the carrying out all rules and regu-
lations governing the water and
light plant, and hereafter water and
light fees must be paid by the 10th
Of each month. If this is not done the
superintendent is authorized to cut
off the service Of those not paying.
The collector will be required to vs.
it each patron only one time.
A census Of water and light users
was ordered taken. This will be
done at once. A number of users
have been paying only on the one
hydrart rate, whereas they have
bath, toilet, etc. Plumbers will be
required to report to the city Off
Gals all plumbing work done where
new connections are made, and If
plumbers fail to comply their right
to do this work will be revoked. 1t
is recommended that plumbers and
users Of water and light get copy
of the rules and regulations govern
ing the water and light plant and
thoroughly famil,arize themselves
with these rules.
The present board seems to be de-
termined to enforce all city laws and
is making an effort to discharge it's
sworn duty toward the tax payers OF
Dresden. This board is making no
new rules, but simply putting into
force those made several years ago,
but which seems to have been ig-
nnred.

LEAP FROM BURN
ING AUTOMOBILE
TO SAVE LIVES.
Flaming Auto Plunges into EN-
bankment and Turns Turtle.
Result Defective Wiring

With their car making close onto
80 miles an hour and the car mass
of flames, Messrs. Woolsey and
DOYLE Brooks were forced to leap
from the fast moving auto Tuesday
afternoon to save their lives AS
they left the car without stopping
to lesson its speed it plunged into
an embankment and turned turtle.
In another minute it was completely
wrapped up in flames and soon the
gasoline tank exploded, sending a
huge black cloud of smoke high into
the air and scattering promiscuous-
ly the crowd which had gathered
to render assistance.
Messrs. Brooks were going west
on the Martin road, with Woolsey at
the wheel of his Overland A.. When
at a point between the homes Of
Walter Smith and Esq. H. J. Butts
flames burst through the floor and
without stopping to investigate or
even bring the car to stop, both
leaped-one on the right and one
on the left. As they left the car it
turned over and Woolsey lost his
hat. which was caught in the top.
The car was insured for 5000.
Either defective wiring or worn in
sulation of the wires is ascribed as
the cause Of the fire, which develop
ed and engulfed the car in the twink
ling Of an eye. Doyle Brooks sock
became lighted and his leg and hand
were scorched.
Nod Melton's team, blowing in
field HARDLY, became frightened at
the big cloud of smoke arising from
the tank explosion, ran away, one
Of the animals being seriously in
iured by falling upon a harrow.
