THE COVINGTON NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1911
J- E. Hite Loses an Arm.
The many friends of Prof. Jonas
E. Hite, former director of the ex
tention department of the State Col¬
lege of Agfoulture, will be pained to
learn of a most shocking accident
that happened to him at Ms home
near Gallatin, Tenn., a few days
since.
While superintending the work of
a corn shredder, his right arm be¬
came entangled in the machinery and
was torn off. The information as to
this terrible accident came to friends
in Athens a day or two ago, but
details were lacking. It does not ap¬
pear that Prof. Hite was fatally in¬
jured, though the loss of his arm is
an injury that might terminate fataly.
Prof. Hite for some time was in
charge of th. extension work of the
State College of Agriculture and in
that position went all over the state
making thousands of warm friends
and doing much valuable work for
the State College.
Last September he resigned his
position and went to his large farm
in Tennessee and took up its active
management. A few weeks later he
married and had just settled down
to a most happy arid prosperous life.
His many friends in Athens and
throughout the state hope that his
injuries will not prove fatal, and ex¬
tend to him their deep sympathies.—
Athens Banner.
Card of Thanks.
Realizing that it is, God who gives
us friends, especially in times of
need, we first raise our beauts to
Him in praize for giving us friends,
with out-stretched arms and open
hearts, to help us aaid our parents in
nursing us through the past nine
weeks of fever and suffering. We
feel like we never could repay them
for their love and charity, hut will
ever pray the Cod of Heaven to
bless and restore to them four fold
in this present world; and in the
world to come, eternal life.

PLANNING TO CHECK BABIES
Western Railroad Alms to Establish
Nurseries on All Trains With
AH Comforts of Home,
San Francisco.—Attention, mam¬
mas and papas!
If this legand, “Check Your Baby,”
lures your glance when you enter a
passenger station don’t pinch your¬
self to see if you are dreaming.
Just take the baby over to the
white-garb?d rurse that sssijos at
you from the portal of the spotless
nursery under the alluring legend, get
your check and enjoy yourself while
baby is having the time of its life
before train time.
Or, if you are tired, you mothers
that same nurse will lead you to a
comfortable cou^h, where you may
enjey a blessed nap.
The idea of a special room is now
being tried out by the Southern
Pacific at Sacramento. If the ex¬
perience proves successful the rooms
will probably be established at all
the larger stations. It is the aim of
the company to equip the rooms with
all the comforts of a home.
