Thursday night, about 6 Messrs.
Kyle Watts and C. D. Moses were
ground-hog hunting. Roy Stiwinter
was moving in the tall weeds. Moses
and Watts did not know he was any
where on the place. (He had come
to the Moses home to let them know
he would take them in his car to
the circus that night.) Mrs. Moses
told him the direction they went.
The hunters, seeing something mov
ing the weeds so, thought sure it
was a ground-hog. Moses fired a
shot gun. The results are: Roy was
wounded. A doctor was called as
quickly as possible. Dr. Cunningham
came and pronounced Roy in a critic
cal condition. His only chance was
to get him to the hospital as quick
ly as possible to have the shot re
moved. His lungs had blood and air
in them. The kind friends and neigh
bors did what little they could for
Roy. He was dearly loved by his
teacher who shot him.

BEECHER'S
The goldenrod is yellow;
The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards ,
With fruit are hanging down.
The gentian's bluest fringes
Are curling in their sun ;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk is spun.
The sedges flaunt their harvest,
In every meadow brook;
And asters by the brook-side
Make asters in the brook.
By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer's best of weather,
And autumn's best of cheer.
