 Dogs Fight In Water
 "If you've never seen a naval dog fight" said Rick Woodward, you're kinder like Irwin Cobb's delfrium tremens character, who said. If you ain't never had the d. Us, you ain't never been mo- where, nor seen nothing. Well, if you haven't seen a couple of dogs fight in the water, you haven't seen a dog fight, that's all.
 Down at my camp I have a big white bird dog which has been with me for years. He's getting old now. but likes to show his authority. He bullies the other dogs l carry down there. X few days ago l was out hunt ing with this dog and a new one I had just introduced to the camp The veteran has always been shy of water, and don't re- trieve there to any extent. Yet, when I brought bird down in the river the other day, and the new dog showed a willingness to go get the bird, the old dog, in his anxiousness to retain his job and his prestige, plunged into the water also. The younger canine got the bird, and the old dog made the mistake of grabbing at leaf. When the vet. realized the newcomer had the bird, he went after him with a vengeance, and the most furious fight I've ever seen took place. The junior !. ~f ny l, managed to fight his way to the shore. with the bird in his mouth, and brought it to me. The ven erable white setter. after being publicly humbled in this manner before the rest of the pack, has been pouting and sulling ever since"
 Controversy Expected
 With w. H. Rudolph, personal representative of Tex Rickard, in town to show the Dempsey Carpenter fight pictures, and with Mrs Neil R. Wallace stating in no uncertain terms that the pictures cannot be shown here, a controversy is expected to arise. Rudolph has stated the pictures ppSitlftly WOuln pc ShOW II
 Mrs. Wallace, as city amuse- ment inspector, was given the commission with the sole point in view of boosting the moral quail ity of pictures, and to have thrown out films of an undesir- able and obscene character. The Dempsey Carpenter pictures can not be listed in the immoral class.
 About the only grounds the pie lures could be thrown out on is the way Dempsey Kisses" Car pentier.
 It is thought that Rudolph will challenge the inspectors right to tnrow out the film, and if such a thing happens a legal battle may be brought about over the show ing of the film here.
 Alabama Springs Surprise
 Alabama, after the most un- successful season in years, closed the campaign Saturday afternoon in one of those well-known blazes of glory. The Tide, commanded by Coach Scott, went down to New Orleans and humbled Tulane 14-7. The victory was entirely unexpected, and after all, the stu dents down at the university have one celebration coming to them for the seasons work.

A Delightful Row

My wife had suffered from stom-
ach and liver trouble for many years
and had taken medicine enough to
sink a ship; so when l brought home
a bottle of Mayr's Wonderful Rem
edy, on the advice of my employer,
she refused to take it. Her liver
trouble hadn't helped her disposition
any. We had a big row, but she
took it the next week, Her ailments
have all disappeared. 1t is a simple,
harmless preparation that removes
the catarrhal mucus from the intes-
final tract and allays the infiamma-
tion which causes practically all
stomach, liver and intestinal all
ments, including appendicitis. One

funded. Sold by divers Red Cross

Death of Little Horace Council.

About midnight last Sunday night,
December 4, the soul of the little
stricken boy, Horace Council, took
its fight. AS stated last week Horace
was playing in the yard at home and
as he jumped from a wagon, horse,
which had been turned out of the
barn, ran by and kicked him. His
skull was broken. The boy was TAX
en- to DR.. Qualls' office and he, with
the assistance of other physicians
and surgeons, performed the opera
tion removing the bone that had
been severed from his skull. This
came from the bridge of the nose
just above the eyes. 1t was pointed
at the ends but about one-fourth of
an inch wide or maybe more at the
center. The connecting parts of the
skull above and below were pressed
inwards by the force OF the blow.
The center of the piece removed was
sharp pointed and this edge, which
formed part of the bone ranging
down the nose, had penetrated the
brain. 1t was necessary to remove
the clots CT blood and flesh that had
passed to the surface of the face. Lit
tie hope was entertained of saving
the boys life, but with the utmost
care and patience the life was pre-
served nearly one whole week.
Horace was the son of Mr.. Cheat
ham Council He was seven years
old and an unusually fine fellow. He
was popular playmate with all his
little friends and enjoyed the friend
ship of many of the older ones. He
was always full of life and cport,
happy, kind-hearted and free. 1t was
indeed a misfortune, heartrending
and sad, and the sympathy of the en-
tire community goes out to the FAM
lily.
Deceased is survived by his parents
and one brother.
Services were held at the Metho-
list Church, with Revs. Mathis, Ba-
zer and Evans saying a word of trib-
ute. Burial at East View Cemetery. |

This was the third number of the
winter lyceum course and probably
the most satisfactory altogether. The
audience was large and appreciative.
The program, as announced, was
made up of Southern and colonial
music done in costume. The inter
pretations were said to be exception
ally true to type and talent. The re-
corder had just a glimpse of the
last number and heard what seemed
to be a soprano of extraordinary
quality and a companion voice, lit
tie lower range, of good timbre and
artistic value. The reading numbers
were also of the came high quality
that marks the true artist.
The two accomplishments are real
ly enviable gifts that are too often
assumed by unworthy persons. The
stage and platform are full of persons
parading as artists who are in no
wise touched with divine affatus.
They have oftimes the training but
never the talent and aspire with
fear and dread of failure. The true
artist has the assurance, unmixed
with presumption, that the audience
is to be entertained.
l remember a few years ago COM
pany of four appeared here at Rey-
nolds Theater. Three singers and n
reader they were. A plain-looking
little woman stated to us the after
noon before the performance that she
was to be present, and by way of
said she was the property
man (not the reader).
The program had progressed to-
wards the intermission. The reader
had been heard and then she came
back to the piano for an encore. The
selection was 'That Old Sweetheart
of Nine" She thrummed the piano,
hardly touching the keys and then
looking towards the audience she
fairly resurrected the spirit of James
Whitcomb Riley's ideal in all its
spiritual end queenly beauty and the
image of holy passion. She no longer
was plain but an artist from the tips
of her fingers to the crown of her
head
So were the two young women
here Monday night of rare ability
and pleasing personality.

Mrs. Sanders and Daughter Injured.


An accident here last Saturday, in
which Mrs. C. M. Sanders and her
daughter, Miss Vera, were overtaken
by an automobile at the passenger
station, came near resulting serious
ly for both the ladies. AS it was Miss
Sanders was only slightly hurt, but
the machine threw Mrs. Sanders
down and one of the tires ran over
her body. The car was driven by a
young married woman, who is said
to be the wife of an Armour travel
ing man. 1t was all accidental. One
car had crossed the track going west
ward. The Armour car was APP
preaching. Mrs. Sanders and daugh-
ter were standing at the south end
of the station near the corner. A
train was switching and the driver
of the Armour car was evidently con-
fused. She tried to pass between the
car that had crossed coming towards
her and the ladies standing at the
depot, but she miscalculated and ran
against them with the results stated.
Mrs. Sanders was taken to the resi-
dence of her daughter, Mrs. Waddell
Jackson, on East Church street and
has been suffering from some painful
bruises and injuries, but she is re-
ported to be improving. 1t is not
thought she is seriously hurt.

Pointed Paragraphs.

1t is more blessed to give than it is
to regret.
Wise men cultivate the art of TAX
ing things easy.
There are more ways than one for
a woman to have her own way.
If you are ashamed OF your call
ing, hire boy to call for you.
After hearing some men talk, you
are surprised at the small hats they
wear.
Even your worst enemy probably
has no idea how mean you could be
If you wanted to.
1t doesn't take the average man
long to throw off the greatness that
is thrust upon him.
One man believes everything he
hears; another doesn't believe any
thing he hears. Both are foolish.
Wisdom suggests assurance of the

effort to see how close he could come
to his brother without hitting him.
The younger lad turned at the shot
and was struck in the side. Warren

prostrated child's head and pulled the
trigger killing him instantly Il wanted
