RED CROSS REPORT The surgical dressing room spon sored by the American Bed Cross will continue to be open on Tuesday and Friday afternoons from 2 to 5, and on Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9 in the high school building. Due to illness and bad weather condi tions, the number who come to work has steadily decreased until very few have been coming recent ly. In December 2,600 dressings were made, fewer were made than in November. Surgical dressings are still urgently needed by our woun ded soldiers. Let us not fail to sup ply the needs of those who sacrifice so much for us. We can keep our quota filled with your help. All the ladies of the vicinity are urged to come for as much of this work as they Can conveniently arrange to J the death of Mr. Wm. Hagaman, of Poplar Grove, which occurred Christmas week. Mr. Hagaman was an old Confederate veteran, and a good, quiet, inoffensive citizen. Mrs. W. N. Thomas, a highly re spected Christian lady, died at her home at Tracy on last Friday morn ing. Deceased was a sister of our townsman, Mr. Ben F. Brannock, and leaves a husband, five daugh ters and two little sons. On last Friday evening one of the saddest accidents that has ever oc ; eurred in this community, happened at the home of Mr. Frank H. Wyke. Mr. William Hodges called at his home for tin purpose of borrowing a pistol. He took a seat by the fire, lifting to his lap the four- year-old baby girl of Mr. Wyke, at the same j time stating his business. A grown ; daughter went to the bureau, pro cured the weapon, and returned, ' snapping it in a playful way. not j knowing it was loaded. The pistol ] fired, a ball went crashing through l he brain of the baby sister, and in I less than two hours the child was dead: The shock to the loving par ents was of course, almost unbear- | j able, but no blame can be attributed to anyone. It is only another case i of death by an unloaded pistol. ! Sidney Phillips Dies Monday at Age of 89 ~ Sidney Phillips, aged 89 years, died Monday at the home in Meat Camp township.
