Struck by a Train
Corwin Foster, a Lineville High School Student and Star Football
Player, Severely Injured
In addition to the large number of Lineville people who went to
Princeton Friday to attend the football game, the Lineville High
School team and many others went down on the afternoon train,
returning on No. 4 which reaches Princeton about 11 o’clock
pm. As the train pulled in there was a rush and a jam by the
hilarious to board the train and Corwin Foster, a student of the
Lineville High School and one of the star players in the football
team was crowded from the platform in front of the incoming
engine by which he was struck and very severely, but not fatally
injured. He was rendered unconscious by the shock and it was
thought at first that he had been killed outright and much
excitement prevailed and he was picked up and carried into the
waiting room. He was placed in an auto and hurried to the
Princeton Hospital, his mother who had accompanied her son to
Princeton, and Prof. Mendenhall, Instructor in Manual Training in
the Lineville High School accompanying. At the Hospital it was
found that the boy’s injuries, while severe, were not fatal,
as no bones were broken and consisted of cuts and contusions
about the head and one shoulder, a bad bruise on one side and
cuts and bruises on one leg and about one knee. He was brought
home on No. 30 the following day and taken to the home of his
parents three miles south of Lineville, where it is reported that
he is doing as well as could be expected considering the severity
of his injuries.

A Chance to Secure Prime Seed Corn
George Hamilton, who has a wide and well-earned reputation as a
breeder and grower of Reed’s Yellow Dent Corn, is offering
the farmers of this section an opportunity to secure their seed
corn for the coming season in prime condition and at a very
reasonable price, $2 per bushel, carefully selected and delivered
in Lineville in bushel lots. He has about 200 acres of this
famous corn on the Sullivan farm four miles west of Lineville,
early planted and fully matured and it is being gathered and
selected under such favorable conditions that practically every
grain will germinate. This offer will only hold good until Jan.
1st and the wise and thoughtful farmer will readily see the
advantage of securing his needed supply of seed corn of this
valuable variety at so low a price.
-J. A. Shira, proprietor of the Meat Market, is moving his family

It Was Princeton’s Turn to Win
The football game Friday afternoon between the Lineville and
Princeton High School teams, played at the latter place was a
victory for Princeton by a score of 26 to 0. Princeton evidently
felt that it could not afford to lose another game to Lineville
and their team had been strengthened by substituting full grown
men of experience who were enrolled as post graduate students in
the Princeton High School in place of the regular students of the
high school courses of which the team that played the first game
at Lineville was made up. This was an advantage that Lineville
does not possess as it is the first year in High School football.

County Attorney Garrett Sets New Record
During the past two years Wayne County has enjoyed an era of law
enforcement equal to the best in her history. County Attorney
Garrett has an unbroken record for winning his cases, large and
small. He has successfully disposed of one hundred cases in two
years. He has caused it to be generally understood that the law
must be respected. His ability to prepare and try his cases is
best evidenced by the fact that he has won all contested cases
and by the fact _________ defendants have plead _________ pleas
of guilty, has saved a trail. County Attorney Garrett has saved
the county no less than six thousand dollars by saving trials in
fifty-nine cases. Not only has this saving been accomplished by
his vigorous record but fines and have been collected in cash
which aggregate thousands of dollars, exceeding in amount his
salary and office expense.
(Much more in the advt.) Re-election of the present County
Attorney, Harry F. Garrett.

I hope the Republicans of Mercer County at the coming election
will stay close to the county ticket as nominated by them at the
August primaries. The laws in Mercer County in regard to the
prosecution of lawlessness and suppression of the illegal sale of
intoxicating liquors, has never been more vigorously prosecuted
or enforced than by the present prosecuting attorney, Lucien May.
Le t us all turn out and give him a rousing vote. J. N. Hollars.
