OCCURRED NEAR FOWLSTOWN
FRIDAY NIGHT. MR. HILL
SERIOUSLY CUT
A serious affray occurred at a dance
Friday night near Fowlstown in which
j 0 hn Henry Wilder seriously cut M.
n. Hill and Mr. Hill shot and killed
Mr. Wilder. Mr. Hill was cut serious-
it taking 22 stitches to sew up a
15 inch wound. The details of the
rouble as far as we can get them are
:omewhat vague. It seems that the
gentlemen had some words and Mr.
Wilder stabbed Mr. Hill who as quick
ly as he could shot Mr. Wilder. The
trouble was very much deplored by the
friends of the parties.

Disease or accident may at any time
permanently disable or put an end to a
man’s life. What would his family
do? Who would pay his debts? His
wife might be unable to work, the chil
dren too young. There is a better way,
\ | and a surer way—life insurance!
'' Some people have an idea that life
' j insurance is a “die to win proposition"
i! but it is simply an advancement in
j j civilization that provides for the help
less in a more efficient way than char
ity.
Life insurance not only helps his
household and pays his debts after
death, but is of great advantage to a
man in a social and financial way. His

obnoxious than a man who neglects
the scriptures. This makes life in
surance a duty for the protection of a
man’s family.
Men in partnership business are pro
tected by life insurance. It insures
men against loss of capital, and is
a savior when panic comes. It is also
essential in borrowing money from a
honk.
Business women who have depend
ents and must save for a “rainy day"
should carry life insurance. It in
creases a rich woman's wealth and is
a safe guard against sudden poverty
It is the duty of wives and mothers to
insure their lives for the protection
of their husbands and children. It pre
serves a self supporting woman’s in
dependence.
Life is the dearest, yet most uncer
tain possession of man. Ignorant as
to when it shall be taken from him,
should he not insure it for the benefit
of mankind Sifter he is gone?

among us today. Somebody ought to
teach some of our young women about
the finer and happier things of life
they are missing. Immodesty in the
woman will always attract the eye of
the man, as it always has, in all the
history of the world, but it never has
and never will, attract his heart. It
may obtain his attention, but it will
never obtain his respect. The woman
who is immodest, places an impassa
ble gulf between herself and the re
spect and affection of a real gentle
man.
The finest and noblest quality in a
true man lies dorment in his mind and
heart, and can only be brought to life
and activity by a modest womnn. The
highest and holiest usefulness und hap
piness of a true woman can never be
obtained in this life or in the life to
come, unless she succeeds in awaken
ing this thing that lies dormant in
the man.

R. F. Smith Passes
Away of Pneumonia
Late Sunday evening young Rober:
Smith passed away after a lingering
illness of typhoid and pneumonia. He
was a son of Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Smith
and was ahout sixteen years old. This
is the third member of this family to,
die within eleven months and the sym-
of the old-fashioned courtesy and mod
esty of the old South. If our boys are
not to be courteous any more, and our
girls are not to be modest any more,
then most of the hope and the happi
ness of life are gone.
