it, but it refused to rise or eat. An

caught in a wire fence. Mr. Rolston,

Injured Going To Church
The days of persecution for relig-
ious faith are over but there seems
to be a distant hazard in going to
church in Clinton. At least, ,two lad-
ies found it so last Sunday morning
when Mrs. W. Higgins fell on some
ice and fractured an ankle and Mrs.
Edmenston did the sante to her wrist.
A few evenings previously Mrs. Tre-
wartha, wife of Mayor Trewartha,
slipped on 'an icy walk as she was
hurrying from a meeting of the W.
M. S. to another gathering in the
church and sustained a fracture to the
small bone in her ankle. And a few
Sundays ago Miss Elizabeth Ford fell
on her way to church and .fractured a
hone in her hip and is stilf in a plast-
