When in front of the residence of the late William Burnett, about a mite east of New Vienna, a squirrel ran from a tree in the grove onto the road. This fright ened the horses. They bolted for the opposite side of the road and swerving came back across the road. By the sudden Jerks and quick turns of the horses the carriage was wrecked and the occupants thrown out.

Wright's left shoulder was dislocated and the shoulder blade broken and her left leg badly sprained.

In addi tion to the Injuries mentioned above all of the parties were badly bruised, their bodies being black and blue. The horses ran about two hundred yards after they were frightened.

The trustees of the Highland Coun ty Hospital Association have acted upon the proposition made by the directors of the Highland County Hospital' Company In regard to the taking over of the property of the Company. At a recent meeting the trustees ol the Association organized by electing C. F. Whisler, president ; J. W. Watts, secretary and J. W. Evans, treasurer. It will be remembered that the six trustees were selected by the Incor porators several weeks ago and are to serve for one year. These men are representative citi zens, men who stand high In the com munity, who have no axes to grind ; who are not looking for personal ag grandizement, profit or preferment and we believe would manage the hospital impartially and with but one end In view the general good of the community. With men of such high standing and character as trustees there certainly can be no question about the directors of the Company turning over the property to the Association. The letter from the Association trustees to the Hospital Company fol lows: IliLLSBono, O , June 9, 1913. To The Highland County Hospital Company : we, the undersigned Trustees of Highland County Hospital Association acknowledge the recelptofyourpropo sltion under date of June 2, 1913, in which you propose to sell to The High land County Hospital Association the entire property and assets of The Highland County Hospital Company to-wit: The real estate known as the Bowers House and certain other assets, men tioned in said proposition, and setting forth the terms and conditions of your said proposed sale. You, however, say that the forego ing proposition shall be effective only after The Highland County Hospital Ass elation and the subscribers to the Articles of Incorporation thereof shall have definitely fixed the number of Trustees, therefor, and shall have elected the same, and only then if a majority of such Trustees and the organization of said Association be acceptable to a majority of the Board of Directors of your Hospital Company. On account of this condition at tached to your proposition, It would be useless for the Trustees of The High land County nospltal Association to discuss the terms and conditions of your proposition to sell the said Bowers property and your other assets, until we are advised by you as to whether a majority of the Trustees of our Hospl tai Association is acceptable to a majority of your Board of Directors. The subscribers to the Articles of Incorporation have elected the six persons whose names are subscribed hereto, as Trustees of our Hospital Association for the period of one year, and these Trustees have organized by selecting C. F. Whisler as President, J. W. Watts as Secretary and J. W. Evans as Treasurer. If you will advise us whether or not the undersigned Trustees, organized as abore set forth, are satisfactory to a majority of your Board of Directors, Mrs. Isaac Shoemaker lost control of the automobile she was driving Saturday afternoon and ran into a buggy in which were M.

He has been pastor of the Hlllsboro Presbyterian church for several years and his friends and ad mirers here, who are not confined to- any sect, win be pleased on account of his new honors.

He is not bound by creed or denominational lines and ably advocates not only from the pul pit but in his daily life, the highest ideals of christian citizenship. Comfort Station and Band Stand. Jess Horton presented his plans to the county commissioners Monday for the erection of a comtort station and band stand on the corner of the Court House lawn where the old fountain formerly stood.

It provided for a comfort station for women in the basement; a store room for Mr. Horton on the ground lloor and a band stand oa the second floor. Public drinking fountains were ar ranged for at the corners of the build ing. The first story was to bo of pressed brick and the second story of stucco. It made a very handsome ap pearance in the drawing. After examining the plans the com missioners passed a resolution to allow Mr. Horton to erect the building upon a satisfactory contract being drawn up. It was also agreed that the coun ty pay $2o0 towards the work on the The engagement of Harry L. Hope and Miss Myra Day, both of St. Louis, Mo., has been announced.

This pro vision should be Insisted upon by the commissioners as It Is only just to the people of the county.
