Auto Accident
A speed of so, slight dip in the
roadbed of IS, and locking Of
wheels was all that was r. necessary
Monday afternoon, to cause the car
driven by Charles c. Hill of Gin
cinnati to flop itself completely on
it's back, with motor continuing to
hum as if nothing had happened.
But something had miraculously
happened In the almost level
stretch of roadway between the r.
A. Arrick and C. M. Elliott resi-
dences just north of the village, tha
driver and sole occupant was seen
to be crawling out scarcely scathed
from what an instant before looked
like a death chamber. The crash
upon the road badly dented the top
and tenders Mr. Hill was on his way
to the home of his father, Herman
HILL scarcely two miles farther on.
His right ear was slightly injured
and his forehead showed abrasions
of the skin. Treatment was received
from the local physician.

Outside torrent of rain and vi
brant peals of thunder kept up their
din as the graduating ceremonies,
last Thursday night evolved before
a galaxy of people under the audi
torium roof, who there gathered in
honor of the school event that mark
activities for IA young ladies and
gentlemen. Undeterred by the
threatening elements of the sky the
crowd almost measured up to any
previous attendances on like oc-
casion as it reyerently arose to re-
ceive the invocation Offering of Rev.
l.. E. Weaver, pastor of the local M.
P. church. Music was rendered by
the orchestra, and Charles Sherlock
responded with the salutatory adj
dress the program being further in
terspersed with music, followed by
the valedictory of Edward Sherlock.

SO entertainingly given by DR.. w. A.
Matheney Of Ohio State university.

Folks stop and gaze with extreme
admiration of his skill as his train

not an artist, newer in wood, 4
chiseler in stone; he's fisherman
on most any creek bank now.
