and saddened by the drowning acct
dent of July 18th, when Hale Smith

lost his life. With other boys he was
in bathing in the river below the big
iron bridge The water was high and
the current very strong, there being
what drivers call three and one-half
foot head on.
Hale started to swim from the east
shore to the first boom and had nearly
reached it when he called out that he
could not make 1t, that his arms were
tired and sank Some of the boys did
not understand his danger John Cor
don. who was swimming some dis
lance down the river on the OTHER
side of the boom heard the cry and
climbing upon the boom ran along as
far as the first fin but the boy had
sank for the last time and he was
unable to save him.
Efforts were made to recover the
body all the afternoon until eight
o'clock. The water was then much
lower and Leon Roberts by diving
found and brought up the body; only
about SO rods from the spot where
he disappeared
Funeral services conducted by Rev.
C. w. Robinson were held Saturday
afternoon at the home with many of
his schoolmates in attendance. Hale
was bright, active boy, nearly IA
years of age, the only son of Glen
and Alice Smith. Besides his parents
there are four sisters and his grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. T. II. Foss,
who will sadly mourn their loss,
