Sumpter returned Saturday from a visit with his sister, Mrs. Sallie Pattrick, of near Cairo, who is in her 80th year. On reaching ho me he received word that she had fallen and broken an arm. He reports the corn crop in that section of the county as being in fine condition. Friday, 26 June 1914--Yesterday being the 51st wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. D. Bottoms, their children surprised them with a big dinner, after getting them away from home on some pretext or another until the noon hour. Great was the surprise of the old folks when they returned home to find the house filled with their children and grandchildren and the table fairly groaning under a dinner fit for a king. It is needless to add that the occasion was enjoyed by the entire assemblage, eighteen in number. That they may celebrate many more such occasions surrounded by their loved ones is the wish of THE NEWS. Friday, 26 June 1914--Bert Sword, son of Thos. Sword of Rucker, aged 20 years, died Monday from hemorrhage of the lungs. Interment was made at Perche. Friday, 26 June 1914--Wm. Sumpter, who recently had his right arm amputated just below the elbow, was a pleasant caller at THE NEWS office Thursday. For some time before the amputation he had to move his right hand with his left, and says that for at least two weeks after the hand was taken off he could feel it as distinctly as if it was still on and to save his neck could not keep from using his left hand as formerly when he wanted to move his right arm. A few days after the hand was cut off Mr. Sumpter complained of the fingers of the hand paining him, and said the pain was so real that he could not rest or sleep. He has complained less of the pain the last week or two but says it returned in full force Wednesday, keeping him awake most all night. He says the missing fingers feel as if they were drawn and cramped. He will have the hand dug up to see if the fingers are in the cramped position he feels certain they are.

Friday, 26 June 1914--Miller Robb, the efficient and popular mail carrier on route three, came very near being killed near Myers Wednesday, his team taking fright when some part of the harness broke, and running away. Miller's first thought was for the mail when, seeing that he couldn't stop the team, he started to let the buggy top down and jump with the mail. That is the last he remembers. When he came to he found himself at the home of a Mr. Dougherty, who phoned to town for a doctor, Mr. Robb having become unconscious. His injuries proved only slight, however, and he was able to be on the job as usual next day, but was slightly disfigured. His team made a record run, not stopping until they had gone over three miles. Tyre Burton finished Wednesday's trip for Mr. Robb. Friday, 26 June 1914--BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION--Mrs. Arthur Burton gave a dinner on the 12th of June in honor of her husband's forty-second birthday. This occasion has been celebrated for several years and we feel such hospitality should be acknowledged. There were 42 guests present and each tried to see who could enjoy themselves most. the table was laden with viands fit for the gods. In the afternoon games for the ladies, swimming for the young boys and kodaking for all, furnished the amusements. the time of leave taking came too soon and each one reluctantly bade their host and hostess goodbye, hoping to celebrate with them many more birthdays.
