MRS. j. NJ. sTINsLEY MEETS ...
DEATH IN ACCIDENT

Mrs. Ada Tinsley was instantly
killed in an automobile accident on
Sunday afternoon, while en-route
to Four Mile, accompanied by Rep
resentstive ]. M. Tinsley, who was
driving the car, and Mrs. William
Tomlinson and Judge w. w. Tins
ley, who occupied the rear seat of
the car. Others of the outing party
were Mr.. and Mrs. A. N. Herndon,
Mrs. w. w. Tinsley and Mr.. William
Tomlinson. They were all going to
the farm near Four Mile where Rep
resentative and Judge Tinsley and
their sister, Mrs. A. N. Herndon,
lived in their earlier years. The
first auto passed the railroad cross
ing in safety. On the arrival of the
car driven by Representative Tins
ley, a man motioned for the party
to stop, but Mr.. Tinsley, being un-
used to railroad signals. read into
the motions a clear track ahead.
On reaching the track, however, a
freight train was already bearing
down on them, some sixty to seventy
feet away. Evidently the engine of
the auto went dead at this juncture
and while Judge w. w. Tinsley and
Mrs. Tomlinson jumped clear from
the back seat, Mrs. ]. NJ. Tinsley
had apparently got no further than
the running board, while Mr.. Tins
ley still remained at the wheel when
the railroad engine struck the front
of the car hurling it some fifty feet.
The automobile apparently struck
Mrs Tinsley with terrific force while
her husband was thrown out of the
car. The force of the impact with
the automobile caused concussion of
the brain and broken arm in the
case of Mrs. Tinsley death being
practically instantaneous, whereas
Mr.. Tinsley escaped with severe
bruises about the body and cuts on
the face, no ribs being broken as at
first thought.
The caboose of the freight train
was uncoupled and within ten min
utes the body of Mrs. Tinsley was
being brought to town, accompanied
by the rest Of the party Mr.. Tins
ley was taken to the Logan Hospital
for medical attention.
In his scramble to escape the on
coming train Judge w. w. Tinsley
received slight scalp abrasions. Mrs.
Tomlinson escaped without injury
apart from the nervous shock.
Representative Tinsley was able
to leave the hospital Monday for his
home but was forbidden by his ply
sicians to attend the funeral.
The car containing Mr.. and Mrs.
A. N. Herndon, Mrs. w. w. Tinsley,
and Mr.. VIM. Tomlinson, on reach
ing the farm waited for some time
for the i'll fated car to appear and
finally, leaving Mr.. Herndon at the
farm, they started back to investi-
gate, only to learn the sad fate
which had overtaken Mrs. Tinsley.
They thereupon drove back for Mr..
Herndon and returned to the city
with all speed.
The testimony of the trainmen is
that Mrs. Tinsley was on the run
ming board and her husband in the
car when they struck 1t. 1t would
appear that the front wheels of the
auto we're on the track and that
the auto was whirled around as 1t
was thrown clear Of the track.
The funeral was held at the Chris
tian church Tuesday at 1880 o'clock.

PORCH PARTY AND BAZAAR
Louise M. SlOcum Class of the Uni
versalist Church Scores Another
Success

One of the prettiest and most sue
cessful affairs of the kind ever held
in Morrisville was the porch party
and bazaar conducted by the Louise
M. Slocum Class of the Universalist
Church at the pleasant homes of Mrs.
w. NJ. Sargent and Mrs. F. C. Peck
on Park street on Thursday after
noon, June 29.
The decorations, which were par
ticularly lovely, consisted of roses
and forget-me-nots, and were espe-
cially effective from the street as one
approached from down town. They
were arranged under the direction of
Mrs. Lena Sanders, assisted by Miss
Ida Welch, Miss Mary Gates and
Mrs. Carrie Calkins.
On the Sargent veranda were dis
played the articles for sale, and so
attractive, unique and desirable a
collection was never before seen in
Morlisville. No "sale" would be a
"sale" without the regulation fancy
work booth, and this was in charge
Of Mrs. Angie Eaton. Miss Doris
Graves sold aprons of all sizes and
descriptions, Mrs. Grace Stafford
presided over the arts and crafts
goods and Mrs. Marguerite Chaplin
over other novelties, including the
barrels of needles. All found their
wares meeting with such a ready
market that their stocks were quite
depleted by the time the closing hour
arrived. Of course there was the
usual candy table, too, under the
direction of Miss Beatrice Morrill,,
where homemade confections were
at a lively rate by Mrs.
Edna Billings and her assistants.
Having completed the business of
and purchasing, one pro-
ceeded to the Peck home next door
for refreshments. Here the same
of decoration was followed as
at the Sargent home and with equal
The spacious porch
was charmingly set with small tables,

were served by Mrs. Florence Fisher, !

Baron, Miss Elizabeth Barrows and

ENTERTAINED AT LAKE
ELMORE

Members of Captain Jedediah
Hyde Chapter, D. A. R., and their
friends, to the number of 27, were
charmingly entertained at the at
tractive camp-home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
o. M. Waterman at Lake Elmore on
Thursday of last week. Soon after
nine o'clock in the morning the
party began to assemble, and Won
derful day it was for all
During the forenoon a short busi-
ness session was held, but for the
most part the time was spent in sew
ing, visiting and exploring the camp.
At one o'clock small tables were set
up on the roomy veranda, and boun-
tiful and delicious picnic dinner was
served, to which all did full justice.
The first thing on the program for
the afternoon was "tree" guessing
game, conducted by Mrs. Waterman.
Although Mrs. Alice Howe captured
the first prize and Mrs. Gertrude Val
leau carried off the second, all re-
ceived ample compensation for their
efforts in hte shape of small balsam
pillows made and presented by the
hostess as souvenirs of the occasion.
While card games were in order for
those wishing to amuse themselves,
and boating parties were also organ
lied, still each one was at liberty to
do exactly as she pleased. The glor-
ious afternoon sped by all too quickly,
and it was time to say goodbye long
before anyone was ready to go. Not
until we'll into the edge of the eve
ming did the last guests finally make
their adieux.
Everyone agrees that this was one
of the best of the many good times
which the Chapter has enjoyed, and
all are loud in acclaming "The
Birches" an ideal spot, and Mr. and
Mrs. Waterman royal entertainers.

TOO MUCH NOISE

There have been many complaints
to the members of the band about the
amount of noise made outside the
bandstand while the band is playing
at the concerts.
So far as the band knows, the band
has no control outside the stand, but
would certainly appreciate less dis
turbance while the band is trying to
play.
'Of course the band like a large
turnout at the concerts, but if those
who do not care to listen would stay
away, the members of the band
would not be offended.
While most of the noise is made by
children who are unattended, yet
some adults persist in spelling the
concert for others.
