SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS NEAR UNION Charles Dysart Suffers Severe Injury as Result of His Buggy Ran Into By Automobile. Saturday evening a very serious accident occurred on the main road a mile east of the town of Union in which Charles Dysart, one of the farmers residing east of Union sus tained two fractured ribs as the re sult of having his buggy ran into by the automobile owned by A. L. Pecker and which at the time was being used by the sons of Mr. Beck er. The accident occurred on the ;teep hill leading into the town of Union and was just, after darkness had fallen. The members of the Pecker family had started for town and were using the spot light on the automobile to guide their way over the road and as they made the ascent of the hill the light burn ed out as the members of the ante party states and left them in the darkness to complete their journey into Union where they were to have their light repaired. Mr. Dysart was also going into Union and his team and buggy was slightly in ad vance of the Pecker car and it was not until the automobile was almost onto the buggy that it was seen and then the driver of the car attempted to turn out to avoid striking the buggy but the distance was too short and the car crashed into one of the rear wheels of the buggy, wrecking it and throwing Mr. Dysart out into the roadway and in the fall he sustained the fracture of two of his ribs. The team of Mr. Dysart. alarmed by collision became frightened and started to run. and as they tore along over the road in to I'nion smashed the buggy to ruins and it was with difficulty that a number of the citizens were able to check their progress in the east tinrt of the business part of the city. Mr. Dysart was taken on into I'nion and received medical atten tion for his in juries and was at last reports resting easily. Erected a Monument Albert Lillie. of near Tecumseh, but formerly a resident of Platts mouth and who lost a son about a vear ago from the "flu" was in Union the first of the week with his two little sons, Roy- and Ralph, on their wav home from Murray, where they had been looking after the erection of a monument over the grave of the deceased son and brother. The monu ment was erected by Ora S. Mason of Tecumseh, who is engaged in that line of business. While in conversa tion with the Journal man. Mr. Lil lie took' occasion to order the paper fent to his address near Tecumseh. so that he may keep in touch with events occurring in this portion of the state.

GALLED TO MOURN DEATH OF SISTER The Death Angel Came to Claim the Spirit of Mrs. John Pnt chard of Weeping Water. Mrs. John Pritchard. the sister of Miss Alice Crozier, of the faculty of the public schools of Union, who has been suffering for some time at her home in Weeping Water on ac count of a cancer which was sapping her vitality, was called to the other world on last Sunday evening, after having endured many months of suf fering. Miss Crozier was called to the bedside of her suffering sister and ministered to her during the last Hours of her life. Everything possi ble was done for her relief, but to no avail, the good woman answer ing the call with a smile, knowing that a life of faithful service such as she had lived would be re warded after death. The funeral was held at the First Methodist church in Weeping Wat er on Tuesday of this week and in terment was made in the Weeping Water cemetery. Mrs. Pritchard leaves besides her devoted husband, a daughter. Miss Grace Pritchard. of Weeping Water, and her sister, Miss Alice Crozier. teacher in the Union public schools. Buvs a New Reo Truck Fred W. Young, who has extensive '.and interests in the western part of the state, and who will remove to that section of the country in the spring, has sown a large acreage to wheat this fall. He has just made the purchase of a new Reo truck from the Robert Willis agency here, which will be used in handling the work on his western farm. Mr. Young looks at the matter of farm ng in the same light as any other business proposition and does not propose to get anything short of the most of his efforts when good im plements and improved facilities will enable him to do so. Hence the rea son fer the purchase of the new truck which he believes more eco nomical than horse power. Got a Free Ride Out of It Last Thursday afternoon while the two men in the aeroplane visited in this city, a crowd was soon attract ed to the landing field just east and south of Fred Clark's and J. P.. Roddy's houses, and when the men offered to give twelve minute rides for 10 to all who wished to tour the clouds, Fred Clark said he would not mind taking a whirl skyward, but the ten plunks deferred him. So his friends joshed him saying lie did not have the nerve, and said if he would take the ride they would sup ply the ten simoleons. To this he readily assented and was soon skim ming about in the clouds. This start ed the ball rolling and many took rides during the afternoon, the sixth being on his way up as our train pulled out. Hear Next Sunday's Sermon The next of the series of sermons being delivered at the First Baptist church of Union by the pastor, Rev. J. B. Taylor, will be on the very warm topic, "Hell." You have im doubtely weindered tibout this place and what it has in store for you. so come and listen to what the Scrip ture has to say and learn for your self whether it is a place or a state of condition of the mind. See wheth er it is a literal fire with smoke and sulphur and brimstone and how long it will last. See if there is any way of escaping its torments. Will it be eternal or consuming? Is there any difference between purgatory and hell? Conic out ami hear Ibis able address founded on actual Scriptural doctrine and listen to the excellent music that is being prepared. A cor dial welcome is extended to all. Receives Call Prom Beatrice. Rev. J. B. Taylor, pastor of the Baptist Church, has recently had a flattering call from the First Bap tist Church of Beatrice, Nebraska. Beatrice is a city of thirteen thous and people, supporting twenty-one churches, two of these are Baptist churches. The church which ex tended the call to Rev. Taylor, has for sears been among the leading in the state. Rev. Taylor advises us that he has not accepted this call however, be cause cf the shortness of his pastor ate in Union, coupled with the fact that the loyalty of Urn Baptist mtm bertdiip in Union has never been sur passed in his twelve yesr experience personal regard toward the Union brethren, and there is a bright out l'Kk for a great advancement along Unes of real services in Union Bap tist church. Miss Margaret Swan, member of the Senior class of Union high school, met with the painful accident e f having her collar bone broken while playing basket ball. Monday night. This being examination ".eek. however, and the fact that Miss Margaret has been exempted from taking them on account of good grades, has made the accident come at an opportune time. since she will be able to resume her classes in another week if she continues to improve as rapidly as at the present writing.
