US. FOOD ADMINISTRATION
SHOT THROUGH FOOT
Thomas Musgrove, the 13
year old son of Mr. and Mrs.
W. P. Musgrove, who live
about a mile and a half south
of MeCrory, accidentally shot
himself through the foot with
a 22 caliber ride early this
morning. The young man was
preparing to shoot a dog when
he cocked the rifle and rested
the barrel on his foot. He
then turned around, thinking
the dog was behind him, and
in turning, pulled the trigger.
The ball entered between the
second and third toes and
came out through the bottom
of his foot.

PART OF TEMPLE OF SOLOMON
“Wall of Walling" Revered by Pilgrim
Jews Who Mourn for Departed
Glories of Judah.
More than fifty years ago Col.
Charles Warren, English archeolo
gist, attempted excavations above the
“Wall of Wailing,” which is un
doubtedly part of the original Tem
ple of Solomon and revered by pil
grim Jews who weep and mourn
there for the departed glories of Ju
dah. He proved before he was
stopped in his work that the original
level of the valley just outside of
that wall was at least eighty-eight
feet below the present level.
Passing down this valley, relates
the Chicago Examiner, are some
tombs still above ground, but not
thoroughly explored, which have
been notable to all pilgrims. There
is the so-called tomb of Absalom, exe
crated by the Jews as they pass, and
behind it is an excavated sepulchral
chamber, called that of Jehosaphat.
It is held by tradition that in this
area are the tombs of Isaiah the
Prophet, and King Hezekiah, and
nearby are the tombs of the Prophet
Zechariah and of King Uzziah.
MONEY A CHEAP GIFT.
“He doesn’t seem to complain
about having to pay war taxes.”
“No. He says he knows a young
fellow who lost his arm in battle
and he doesn’t think he’ll ever be
able to give money enough to feel
his equal.”
“Will you lend me twenty-five dol
lars?”
“No. I don’t care to get rid of
your friendship that badly.”
