Halifax, July 22 Quite a sad ac cident happened here, or about three miles from here on the road to Wel- don, Saturday night about ten o'clock, when an automobile ran violently into a tree that was down the road. The machine was driven by Mr. Jenkins, of Tarboxo, who had with him in the car, Mr. and Mrs. Howell and little girl, and Mrs. Jenkins. They were on their way to Panacea Springs, and left here just before ten o'clock intend ing to stay over at Weldon for the niirht. but the road seemed so in viting that Mr. Jenkins was running At. about a thirty mile clip and failed to see at all the tree lying across the road iust around a bend in the road, and if he could have seen it before running into it, it is hardly probable that he could have guided the car around it sufficient to have fore stalled an accident. The car was over-turned completely, all hands being thrown out, Mrs. Howell be ing pinned underneath the car in such a way that she could not extn rate herself at all, the result being that the two men with the help that Mrs. Jenkins could give, by some means managed to turn the car back from the prostrate body of Mrs. Howell and found her badly hurt She was hurried here and given im mediate attention by Dr. McNight, and it was found that the scalp was badly torn from the head and many stitches had to be taken to get it back in proper position. Of course the lady suffered much pain but under the ordeal she showed re markable fortitude and Sunday mor ning she was taken home accompa nied by the others who were in the accident. No one else was hurt at all except the little girl who received some slight injuries. The machine seems to be a bad wreck and it is es timated that it will in all probability cost several hundred dollars to get it in good condition again. LITTLE GIRL INJURED. A horse ran away Sunday morning belonging to Mr. Dana Dickens, who resides about four miles west of here, and ran the wheels of the bug gy over his little twelve months old daughter and bruised the little ones .head right badly. The little one was taken up to Weldon Sunday after noon and sent down to Norfolk to St. Vincent Hospital, and from last account seems to be getting along very nicely, no serious consequences are feared. HORSE KICKED LITTLE GIRL. Little Elizabeth Coppedge while out in the back yard playing on Monday afternoon was kicked by a horse, or it is supposed the horse must have struck her with his foot, though not hurt to amount to much. The horse which is kept in the yard is very gentle and has never shown any disposition to harm any-one or anything, and it is supposed tha she must have gotten very close to him and he probably kicked at a fly and being so close to the horse did not get the full blow, as she was only bruised slightly on one side o the face. SEVERE STORM. The storm here was severe on last Saturday blowing down fences, and trees, uprooting many in and around town. We learned Monday that it was even more severe west of here, and several reported corn, tobacco and cotton damaged to some extent. We learned that Mr. Walter Bower's crop of tobacco of Aurelian Springs was damaged a great deal, and some others jn that section were damaged more or less. Mr. B. H. Hale, on route 1. who was" taken sick last Saturday still continues very sick. There is little sickness in town right now, and in fact there has been comparatively little this sum mer so far. There is one case of ty phoid fever here now, a colored wo man. Watermelons have beeg coming in now for several days and of course the "darkey am gwme to live high There has been many fair visitors here for some weeks and all the young people are enjoying them selves immensely. On Tuesday morning, July 22nd, Misses Futrell entertained in honor of theic house guests. Misses Kate and Lois Johnson, of Thomasville; Miss Lucy Reese, of Mount Airy, and Miss Ethel Dalton, of Winston Salem. The veranda was decorated with ferns, rugs and flowers, mak ing auite an attractive scene. The guests were met at the door by Miss Katherine Futrell and assembled on the Dorch. which had been attrac tively decorated with ferns, flowers and rugs. - After the guests had arrived Misses Frances White and Kather- Shields. dressed in red, with MISSES FUTRELL ENTERTAIN.

The tables were arranged on the lawn and thither the guests repaired to find partners for the games. When every one was seated the little cupfds present ed all with cards representing bas kets filled with lilies of the valley. Candles were placed on all the ta bles, and after being lighted the guests were told to try their tor- tunes by holding their cards over thp candle. Contrary to custom all had the same fortune, for on each card appeared these words, "A. O. M.-K. T. F., October, 1913," making known to all that in October Miss Futrell will become the bride of Mr. A. Q Moore, of War saw. , Then the games started. Miss Eula Shoulars presided at the first table where cubical hearts were played. At table number two Miss Sallie Josey received the guests. Here a bowl of white candy balls was surmounted by a guilt cupid. Each player was given candy tongs and requested to remove the candy without overthrowing cupid, but ike the cupid in real life some were more successful in managing mm than others. At the third table the lamp of genius was made to burn for Miss Louise Futrell requested each per son to carry out the following in junction: "A verse to the bride, or a verse to the groom; Or a verse to Dan Cupid's art: Some sort of verse you'll have to write If you want the people to think you are smart." At the fourth table Miss Mildred Edwards instructed all who cared "or such information, to spear and mend broken hearts. At table number five each was re quired to give helpful information to the bride to be by writing a fav orite recipe, the recipe book being decorated with cupid in cooking apron and cap, with spoon in hand, and bore this inscription, "The way to a man's heart." Mrs. E. T. Whitehead at the sixth table asked each couple to furnish a room for the bride's home, after giving them suites of furniture and mucilage for pasting in the bride's book. Each table was adorned with a center piece of red canvas and the cupids served refreshments consist ing of heart shaped cakes and cream. After reading the love verses the party was dispered. Fix up your liver; clean your bow els of foul waste; drive poisonous gases from your stomach, end con stipation and feel fine and dandy in twenty-four hours. Throw away calomel; it's danger ous; you know it; everybody knows it. CARSWELL'S LIVER-AID is different. It's a pleasant, harmless vegetable remedy that acts cently yet surely and does not cause a par tide of after misery. It's a joyful laxative and more. it's fine tor kidney disease and ma laria and is as safe and splendid for children as for grown-up people. Fifty cents secures a generous bot tie at E. T.

Tha Kind Yea Have Always Bszght Bears the Signature of Brinkleyville, July 21. On the morning of July 15th, at two o'clock the death angel came to the home of our beloved friend and brother, J. E. Harper, and took therefrom Susie Lou, the quiet, gentle, amiable and onlv child. This is indeed a crush ing blow to our neighbor, who has the heartfelt sympathy of every one. It came a3 a terrible . shock to our entire community, some of which did not know of her sickness. It comes as a warning to be ready, for in such an hour as ye think not death may come. Susie Lou was ready for the messenger of death, having given her heart to the Lord several years ago, and was a member of Bear Swamp Church. All that lov ing kindness could do wasd one, but the Lord wanted her, and took her to himself. In the presence of a large crowd of sorrowing friends and loved ones we laid her to rest, the funeral service being conducted by Rev. A. G. Willcox, assisted by Rev. J. E. Pritchard. Mrs. Jesse Pope and her two daughters are visiting Miss Mary Willis. Rev. A. G. Wiicox was in Warren ton Sunday and preached for Rev. T. J. Taylor. He will leave tomor row for Johnson-Willis Hospital, Richmond, Va., for an operation. He asks to be specially remembered by the brethren for a successful operation and an early return to his loved ones. RUB-MY-TISRfl Will cure your Hheumatism Neuraleia. Headaches. Crfltrms.
