Fatally Injured In
Fall From Wagon
David Thomas Mann, son of
Rev. and Mrs. M. K. Mann, of the

around 8:30 o'clock Tuesday night,
when he fell from a wagon on

He was said to have been driv

of the oats, which suddenly began
to slip, causing him to fall and
the horses became frightened and
ran away. In an effort to hold
the team, he fell between the
horses.
Dan Cochran, for whom the boy
was working at the time, was
walking beside the wagon. Ho
said the bov died soon after the
fall.
Dr. J. Frank Tate, Haywood

would be held. He stated that
young Mann died of a fractured
skull and internal injuries.
Young Mann was a popular stu
dent at the Bethel high school and
was a member of the eighth grade.

"People need not get panicky,"
said one well known dealer, "for
there will be plenty of coal after
the middle of November. I would
advise the public to be careful and
economize with coal, for we will
have to tide over until the time
when the supply comes back."
One dealer stated that he had
more orders for coal during the
month of October than he could
possibly fill.
Another dealer stated that he
was trying to portion his coal out
to those who were really up against
it for fuel, and that no one custo
mer was getting more thai) his
share of the amount he had on hand.
22 Apples In A
Cluster Found On
Almost Barren Tree
Experienced orchardmen are puz

and wherefores of the- unusual
cluster of 2 apples that grew on a
Rome Bemity tret on the farm of
W. T. Mrtpatrick, Dellwood Road.
laftfe tre had lew than a
bushel of apples all together this
year, yet from a small limb about
the size of one's little finger, grew
22 perfect full-sized apples. The
22 apples weigh slightly more than
8 pounds. The apples are fully
matured, resembled in every de
tail, the fruit on the remainder
of the tree.
The cluster is on display in the
window of The Mountaineer, and
is attracting lots of attention. So
far no one has given an answer of
"why" mother nature should pull
such a trick.
