Unto % 3fatur IT was spring in India, where 1 had been doing missionary work for nearly six years. As I entered my cottage a feeling of home sickness came over me. T began to wonder what had become of all my friends at home and especially my class mates. The mail had just arrived, bringing with it a copy of the Hagerstown Exponent, which I immediately began to read. It was dated April 3, 1925. Glancing over the front page I noticed the headlines — AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT Pleasant Visit Comes to Sudden End April 3,— Air. and Airs. Ernest Pollard and twins, Vivian and Ernest, had been visiting friends and relatives here and were returning to their home in Muncie when their Saxon touring car turned turtle throw- ing them several feet. ' Idle occupants were not seriously injured, and little damage was done to the car. Air. Pollard is proprietor of a Chop Suey Rcsturant in Aluncie. The next thing that I noticed was — DRIVER BADLY HURT April 3, — Walter V ichterman, driver for the Riggs Patent Medicine Company, was seriously hurt when he fell from his wagon yesterday. Air. Wichterman ' s attention was attr acted by several g ' irls, and a lunge of his horse caused him to lose his balance and fall, llis condition is reported better today. He has been connected with the Riggs firm for some time. I then turned to the personal column. 1 read several items, but recognized very few names until I came to — Air. and Airs. Gordon Showalter, of Modoc, are visiting friends and relatives here. Airs. Showalter was formerly Miss Kate Duggins. Iler husband is connected with a brokerage firm at Modoc.
