U. Conant and three visiting homeseekers, was struck by a switch engine. The au- tomobile was badly damaged, but the occupants fortunately escaped without serious injury. Mr. Conant was taking the party of visitors out to look at some lands, and as he neared the crossing, the approaching engine was hidden from view by a string of box cars and a large pile of wood on the premises of the light and water plant, this icondition being the usual one, and rendering this crossing very danger- ous. The engine was moving slow- 1y, and struck the automobile squarely, carrying it thirty feet or more, but fortunately not overturn- ing it. Only one of the occupants of the car received any injury, and he only a slight wound on the head. The injury was given attention by Dr. C. W. Love, and will not pro- duce any serious results.

W. S. Patterson as chairman and T. M. Callahan secretary. The ! object of the organization is co-op- eration in the advancement of the spiritual and moral interests of the community. A feature of the work contemplated, which will be of spe- cial interest, is the formulation of a plan for organized and systematic charity—something which is ur- gently needed in Lakeland. The people of this city are the most gen- erous and charitably inclined to be found anywhere, but their Jiberality could be much more effectively di- rected if relief work could be han- dled through some recognized agency such as the pastors are con- sidering. With. the advent of the winter season there will be many calls for assistance, and these ought to be investigated and each treated according to the merits of the case. —— l The full strength of Turkey’s army is 300,000 trained men.
