John L. Collins, who over
sees the farm of Belmont Hall,
met with an accident about five
O'Clock Friday evening, that
came near costing him his life.
Collins was putting his horse
to row marker out in the
field, when in leaning over to
fasten the trace the horse sud
denly gave a kick which sent
him over the machine. Collins
sustained a broken collar bone
and a fracture of two or three
ribs. He was brought to Smyrna
and physician summoned who
reduced the fractures. Mr.. COL
Inns is resting easy and is
congratulating himself that his
injuries we're no worse. Had
he been kicked in the head he
may never have lived to tell
the tale.
Some excitement was had
Wednesday evening In the raf-
fling off of a second hand Metz
runabout Roy R. Tucker had
sold A. Sevil & Sons a new
Overland Car and took In part
exchange their little Metz auto.
The latter was raffled off, the
winner being Willoughby JOS
ephs, and strange to say l3
was the lucky number that won
the car. Chances we're taken
anywhere from one cent to one
dollar. The car, it is under
stood, cost Josephs just l3
cents. After winning the ma
chine young Josephs sold it
back to Roy R. Tucker again
for $50.
At meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Smyrna Public
Schools, Monday afternoon,
Miss Mary E. Ford, of Easton,
Md, was elected a high school
teacher to succeed Miss Laura
Lefty. The selection is regard
ed as a most excellent one and
like the three other elections,
adds another link in the strong
chain of normal school teachers
which is gradually being intro
duced in the schools. Miss F ord

Md, High School and State Nor
NAL School of Baltimore, Md.
She was vice principal of the
Easton High and Manual Train
ing School for six years and

land. On Thursday last the
