REPORTS ABM SOME IJITEOVED James Manners living southf of Alvo. James Manner.-:, living south of Alvo, who it will be remembered, was com pelled to take the ditch to prevent a collision, on account of a narrow cul vert in front of his place, re-port:; hi-: arm improving somewhat from the in jury, which he received at the time of the accident. Mr. Manners and family had been at Alvo and were returning home when meeting hi; auto going the opposite direction, and to avoid this car, Mr. Manners endeavored to turn to the rig tit and was compelled to take the side of the road where there is a ditch or risk a collision with the other car. The car which contained the enUre family of Mr. Manners being Mrs. Manners, a daughter ten years of age. and two boys about a year and a half old. be ing twins, Jimmie and Robbie. They were all pinned under the car for a short time. Other than bruif.es. I hey were none bf them injured severely with the exception of Mr. Manners whose arm was caught under the rib;; of the top of the car and the steer ing apparatus. He is getting along fairly well now. but his arm is far from being well at this time. He feels that the narrowness of the cul vert and the deep hole at its side was responsible for the accident. Financial Loss Due To Colds It is estimated that the average man loses three days time each year from inability to work on account of having a cold. Much of this loss can be avoided by treating every cold as soon as the first symptoms of the disease appear. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has won a wide reputation and immense sale by its cures of this disease. Try it. You are certain to be pleased with its pleasant taste and the prompt relief which it affords. Popular copyrighted fiction at the Journal office.
