Narrowly Escapes Eiectrocution

While working on the new cleo
trio light pole at the bridge, this
side, Wednesday, Mr.. Forrest Tom
son had close call from death. He
was up on the pole about so feet,
and was working, thinking the cur
rent was turned off, when 1t was not,
and in some manner he came in con-
tact with the wires. He had on his
safety belt, otherwise he would have
fallen, and he was also working
with gloves on. When he received
the shock, his hands which were on
the wires pulled away from the
wires, which broke the current and
saved him. As 1t was, his hands
were badly burned, and the shock
hurt his back, and unstrung him in
general.

Alissionary Convention

The annual missionary conven-
tion of the Churches of Christ was
held with The Stockport church Sept.
f19. The convention was well at
tended and the addresses were of
exceptionally high order. The open
discussions were entered into very
enthusiastically. There were people
present from Meigs, Tabor and Nc
Connelsyille; ard these delegates all
seemed to feel it was their meeting
Prof. Roo, superintendent of Stock
port schools, was present and took
an active part in the discussion,
which was appreciated by all pres
ent.
The outstanding feature of the
convention was the address by Bro.
Murch in the evening. His message
revealed the magnitude of the King
dom, and challenged us to measure
up to our responsibilities. He said
the Lords commission was to go,
and it should be the church's mis-
sion.
The Stockport church entertained
all the delegates for dinner and sup
per, and it was well done. The del
egates all departed feeling it was
the best convention they had ever
had, and day we'll spent.
The old officers were reelected
with the exception of secretary, and
Miss Alice Moody of McConnelsyille
was elected to this office for the
year.-XX.

Sudden Death OF Gus Spears

Sunday afternoon Mr.. Gus Spears.
aged 27, died very suddenly, from
either the effect of bee sting, or
copperhead snake bite. He made
his home with his brother-in-law.
David Waite, about three miles
from .Chesterhill, on what is known
as the old Zumbro farm. He in
company with Lee Waite, brother Of
David Waite, was in the wood, and
went to a bee tree that had been
cut down. Spears loked into the
hollow log, and Waite who was not
far away heard him scream, and ran
to him. He said Il am so sick"
and in about five minutes he died in
terrible agony. A mark was found
behind his ear, which it is thought
was either a bee sting, or copper
head snake bite.
His father is dead, and his moth
er Mrs. Caledonia Gilpin lives in
Malta. Besides his mother he leaves
the following sisters: Mrs. Susan
Waite, and Miss Annie Spears, of
near Chesterhill, and Mary and

last Thursday by auto from Oberlin
where they had taken their daughter
Miss Eleanor who entered the con-
servatory of music,

Is Damaged By Fire

Saturday evening the beautiful
home of Mr.. F. M Beckett here.

damaged by fire, which caught In
closet next to the bathroom on the
first floor. Just how it started is
not known. The property Is under
going repairs, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Beckett were not staying in the
house, and so far as known there
had been no fire in it. The plumb
ers had been working during the
day and up until about six o'clock
in the evening. About 7:30 the fire
was seen by Mrs. Offord Richardson,
whose home is very near the Beck
EFT property. She gave the alarm,
and while the fire department re-
sponded, it's hose was not turned on,
the fire being put out by hand fire
extinguishers and garden hose. This
greatly lessened the damage which
would have been occasioned had the
water from the fire department hose
been turned on.
The kitchen, dining room, bath
room and clothes press. which had
all been newly painted, etc., were
badly damaged, and it was also
necessary to cut away part OF the
roof to get at the fire.
The amount of the damage is es-
timated about $500.

sman RIaze At Mark Dew's

Prompt action Of Mrs. Mark Dew
OF Malta, prevented what probably
would have been bad fire at their
home there, Monday afternoon.
Mrs. Dew's brother Mr.. Ray Love
and wife and little daughter were
at the Dew home, and the little Dew
son and Love daughter were playing
UP stairs, when they ran down tell
ing Mrs. Dew that there was fire
UP stairs. She ran up and round
the contents of the clothes press in
flames. She succeeded in putting
out the fire. Just how it happened
is not known, since the children are
too small to tell much about it. The
supposition is that in some manner
they must have had match, which
they struck.
Had the children not reported the
fire. the chances are that the entire
up stairs would have been in flames.
before being discovered. The dam
age is placed at about $50
