McBeath. The following article is taken from the Rankin (Ill.) News. Mr. McBeath was a former Pulaskian and a brother-in-law of Nellie McBeath, one of the Journal's correspondents. "Thomas McBath, a workman on the "rip" track in the L.E. & W. yards, while at work under a car Thursday afternoon was struck and dragged under the car, when the switch engine set in a car on that track. Mr. McBath was brought to Dr. Liggitt's office where medical aid was given but owing to the seriousness of his injuries, he died about four o'clock in the doctor's office. An inquest was held in Rankin, Friday noon, and the witnesses testified that he was at work under the care when it was struck. After hearing the testimony the jury returned a verdict of death due to injuries sustained when he was run over by a cut of cars on the "rip" track of the Lake Erie & Western railway. Brief funeral services were held in Rankin Saturday morning after which the body was taken to Oxford, Ind., for burial. The following obituary was read by Rev. Wicks: Obituary. William Thomas McBath was born in Wayne Co., Ky., Feb. 24, 1868, and was called suddenly to the life beyond from his late home in Rankin, Ill., Sept. 2, 1920, aged 51 years and 6 months, and 8 days. He was united in marriage to Dora Morris, Dec. 22, 1894, in Texas. His wife preceded him in death, leaving a family of small children. He was married the second time, Oct. 5, 1905, to Pauline Johnson. To this union 5 children were born. An infant was born only a few hours before the father was called into the world beyond. The names of the surviving children are respectively, Leonard McBeth and Della Gilbert of Oxford, Ind., Seth of Templeton, Ind., Donnie of Templeton, Floyd, Lorine, Evelyn, Edna and baby with the wife and mother all of Rankin, Ill., are left to mourn. Mr. McBath was highly respected by his large circle of friends in Rankin. He was held in high esteem by the Railroad Officials and the men of the shops where he was employed and the fatal accident has caused a gloom over he entire community. He was a devoted husband, and affectionate father and a true friend. The grief stricken wife and children have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. Jesse Mershon Dies of His Injuries.

The following is taken from a Newark, N.J., paper and will be read with interest here: "A surprise miscellaneous shower was given on Sept. 11th, in honor of Mrs. Walter E. Winfrey, formerly Miss Blanche I. Bond, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. Bond of 13 Myrtle Ave., Roseville Section. The home was beautifully decorated the color scheme being carried out in pink and white.

Winfrey were recently married and are now making their home at the Bernard Apt's., Myrtle Ave., Roseville Section. Worth A Thought. A dispatch from Washington reads as follows: "The Republican National Committee is doing one thing that never has been attempted heretofore. It is organizing a battery of colored women, who are to travel through the States of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and possibly a few other hotly contested regions, and preach Republicanism to the colored voters, especially the colored females. So far about fifteen colored women have been signed up for the campaign. The Evening Post will observe the results of this political experiment with considerable interest - Louisville Post. Of the 17,981 disabled former soldiers being cared for in more than 1,000 hospitals under supervision of the war risk bureau, 9,858 are in private hospitals, including state and county sanitariums, and 8,128 are in hospitals only partly controlled by the government. Of the 470,000 men originally classed as deserters by the War Dept., closer observation and investigation narrowed this number down to 173,911. Pulaski Wins Second on Barred Rocks at Kentucky State Fair. The Pulaski standardization poultry exhibit at the State Fair showed up in fine shape. Had some of the pens been properly mated the county would have taken the blue. The owners of the birds winning in the county exhibit are as follows: M.R. Molen, won first on old pen. Minnie Kenney and Lloyd Molen won second with a pen of old birds headed with a male bird belonging to Roy McDaniel of Somerset. A.P. Vaught won first on cockerel. H.N. Sweeney won third on cockerel.
