When Lightning Kills Mules
Entering a sheJter on their farm

violent thunder and rain storm
Monday afternoon, Jim Sutton and
his son, Clifford, were severiy
shocked when lightning struck the

with which they were plowing.
The building was ignited by the
bolt, and Clifford was forced to
drag tiie inert body of his father
over the bodies of tlie mules out of
the building into the down pour of
rain.
Clifford made his way to the
home of John Turner, who lived a
few hundred yards away, and told
the miraculous story. Mr. Turner
took the two men home, when
tnedtcul attention was administered
them.
Their clothes and shoes were
torn into shreds from the eff'ects of
the lightning bolt.
They will recover unless unfore*

posure.
The mules were ' consumed by
the flames of the building.

and trash moving rain. The duck
is saying quack, quack and the
frogs are now taking fresh courage
and are now rippling their music
sweet and clear. The bob w lute is
telling bis mate of his loyalty and
not of his royally. The old cow
shed tears of rejoicing and old
‘Gun Powder” is neighing and
laughing for delight. The little
nestlings are opening their mouths
to get a few drops of refreshing
rain to cool their parched throats
The seeds that have been in the
dark chambers ot the earth only to
be awoke by the voice of rain are
beginning to seek the sunlight and
air. Old woman in the shoe has
failed to keep the dust and the
cobwebs swept out of the airy
heights but the winds and the ratn
have done quick work. The stars
shone brighter than usual last night.
Venus sang to Jupitea who lias

flew across the heavens to carry
the good news. The man in tlie

tures on the green earth who use to
be afraid of thunder but now of
lightning are glad there is a change
for the better.

Non-Sectarian Organization
Perfected In White County
The White County Laymen’s
Movement, a non-denominational
and non-sectarian organization,
was organized in Cleveland Sun¬
day, June 6.
This organization has as its pur
pore to bring all the church mem¬
bers into a body with the view of
not only creating a better fellow¬
ship among various denominations
of the county, but to foster better
and nobler citizenship.
Rev, Win. Greenway organized
brotherhood classes among a num¬
ber of tiis churches, Methodist, and
the results were so pleasing and
helpful that the leaders of the
county body sought to embrace all
the denominations into one organ¬
ization and the response was heart
ity received.
Mr. E. P. Mallory, of Nacoo
cliee, was elected chairman of the
evangelistic committee. Mr. M.
J. Williams, of Helen, was elected
chairman and Mr. J. Al. Black,
secretary.
The organization will present a
very interesting program at Louds
vilie, Sunday, June 2 1, at 3 P, Al.
It is the desire to have al) active
church laymen become affiliated
with the movement.
At a meeting of the County
Board of Education held ott the
7th, day of June 1926 it was re¬
solved by the board that it would
not contract witli teachers to teach
in the common schools of the coun
term w | 10 did not hold a
first grade license or certificate and
that those teachers who have had
normal training or that have at¬
tended summer schools would be
preferred.
This resolution was passed look¬
ing to the upbuilding of the county
schools. It is the sense of the
board that the country children
should have as good teachers as the
town children. This rule will not
be varied from unless in cases of
absolute necessity. Trustees of
the county will take notice of this
ruling and in the selection ot
teachers be governed accordingly.
The day has come when teachers
must qualify themselves to teacli if
they teach.
This the 10th day of June 1926.
