FOUND DEAD III ROAD WITH HIS NEGK BROKEN

eeorge Fowler, a Resident Chin, Probably KHlea by

Horse Be

George Fowler, a single, middle aged

man, who recently bought a farm near

Clifton, met a tragic death about 6:30

last night some two miles and a half

west of Scottsville, near the Charles

Studeman farm.

Just how the accident occurred will

never be known as Fowler was 'alone

and c o one saw him fall from the buggy

in which he was driving or knew of the

accident until a passing vehicle ran over

the dead man's foot. The whip, blanket

and whiffletree lay near by. Fowler's

neck was broken. Several vehicles had

passed him on the road near Scottsville

and noticed that he was driving very

rapidly. It is supposed thst his horse

took fright and runaway.

Caledonia News The Noon Hour.

A lady in the country near Cale­donia suggests that while we are "Doing it for Caledonia" the business places should be more careful to keep open during the noon hour and says that a number of country people who cannot get to town until about that time are obliged to wait |somewhere [un­til one or half-past one. She thinks this would help to keep trade at home.

TOLD INTERESTINGLY OF EXTENDED WESTERN TRIP

"In and Sill,

Mrs. Hanford A. Edson was the hostess at the meeting of the Scottsville Literary Society last Monday evening, and Judge Selden S. Brown presided. Miss Jean Price played a piano solo as an introductory and the members sang the Star Spangled Banner at the close of the program.

Rev. Dr. Edson expressed the regrets of the society at the inability, owing to illness, 01 Colonel Edward E. Sill to give Lis expected lecture on Out of a Rebel Prison." Colonel while in prison at Charleston, S. C , was cognisant of the death there of Captain Charles MeVean of the 8th N . Y. Cavalry. Captain MeVean's fate was for a long time in doubt and it was not until some years after his death thst bis family had positive evidence of it.

As Colonel Sill was absent Dr. and Mrs. Edson took his place and told of their trip to San Antonio, Texas, last year.

Mrs. Edson gsve a valuable paper on the history of New Braumfele in Texas, where early in the forties of the last century a "number of German princes endeavored to establish a German principality in the new world—an almost forgotten incident in the romance of the history of our country.

Dr. Edson spoke of the trip, which, in company with Mrs. Edson, he msde up the Mississippi and Ohio rivers lsst May, from New Orleans to Cincinnati Miss Bessie Giles wss elected to membership in the society.

The meeting then adjourned to Mon­day evening, December n t h , when the fortieth anniversary meeting will be held.

The program for that meeting will be

Mendon Weather. The town of Mendon, in which

is situated the village of Honeoye Falls, went "dry" November 7th. A wit in the town sends these pat verses to the Honeoye Palls Times on the future weather In that town: Weather Forecast tor October—

A Long Dry Spell Predicted. Oh ! Johnny, have you heard about the

votes on Tuesdsy last, Old Mendon went no-license and "wet"

days will soon be past; For only just eleven mouths, we'll find

our gin and beer, And then Sahara's desert drought will

strike the people here. No more will we foregather at Patsey's,

Hop's or Woods, For they will cease to handle our favorite

brand of goods. The schuper will be empty, and there'll

* be no rum or rye, And the corkscrew will be useless, for

Old Mendon has gone dry.

EACEMAKERS! A strange name to give to great guns, the dewtiucttve monsters of modern warfare. One single well directed shot from one of them is able to sink an ordinary vessel, and a few bits can destroy a battleship or topple to the ground the most strongly built building

e x t a n t But peacemakers they are! Compared with past ages the period since the battle of Waterloo has been an age of peace. What is the reason? In the language of M. de Bloch, the perfection of military weapons is making it mora and more Impossible to appeal to war as a means of settlement of the grave questions which have hitherto been so settled.

Formerly the states of central Europe were ready to fly at each other's throats on the slightest provocation. Prussia took the lead. The needle gun gave her an immense superiority over her enemies, , and peace through con­quest was established among the states now known as the German empire. It w a s the German artillery that with astonishing rapidity won at Mete and Sedan. Paris heard Its voice and yielded, and peace c s m e to Europe and has remained among the leading nations since that time. The Krupp guns have apparently established a permanent peace between the two countries.

For several centuries there w a s no peace in Cuba. Spanish misrule kept the natives in a continuous state of rebellion. The great guns of Admiral Samp-ton's fleet thundering against the Spanish warships at the battle of Santiago in a few brief hours virtually brought peace to Cubs, a peace that Is likely to

FIRE DESTROYS BARNS 0 1 CLIFFORD DAVIS FARM

Shortly after nine o'clock Sunday evening fire was discovered in the barn of Clifford Davis, which is situated about one-half mile south of S o t t s -ville. The fire had gained such head­way that it was utterly impossible to save the building, although M « Davis and others succeeded In saving the live stock, A new poultry house was also entirely destroyed, as was a large stack of hay. The origin of the fire is Un­known and the loss is all the greater as the buildings were practically new, the barn on the same premises having been destroyed by fire little more than three years ago.

In the far east at the battle of Yalu Ruver the victory of Japan over China w a s due to the high quality of quick firing guns and the skill of the gunners. By giving Japan the leadership in the east that battle contributed to the peace of the world. Again, In the war with Russia powerful guns, handled by skilled Japanese gunners, once again proved to be peacemakers.

In ancient days vessels put forth with passenger* and merchandise, dread­ing the pirates that Infested the high seas. Now they fearlessly sail to all quarters of the globe. Great guns have brought peace to the high seas. The "Long Toms" and the machine guns psve the way for trade and the miaston-sry. For the most part the high perfection of modern weapons has brought peace to the world, and even when wars occur the perfected engines of de­struction are humanity's chief benefactors. Through their tremendous de­structive powers wars are of short duration. Peace comes by their aid be­fore the awful specters, famine and starvation, lay their blighting hand on the conflicting- nations.
