A thirty-five foot craft was nearly swamped by a choppy sea and two women In the party with children In 'arm? were screaming for help, while the throng of promenaders ashore stood helpless. the two bluecoats mounted on ss steeds that had been tau Ik to swim, did not hesitate for a moment. They wheeled their chargers, swerved them down over th) embankment onto the beach and plunged into tho surf.

The tide was such that the horses had not gone moro than 75 feet before they were "off their legs" and had to swim. Horses and riders bobbed up and down half submerged wihle a crowd on tho beach cheered their efforts. Cody and McDonald not only reached the craft In time to rescue 1 the women and children, but went back a second time and towed in the boat with its men occupants.

W. G. Mauldin, of Picketts, Re ported Dead, Still Juives. (Easier Progress.) The account of Hon. W.

G. Mauldin's death which was published in several papers last week, the Progress among the number, seems, as Mark Twain said about an erroneous notice of his own death on one occasion, to have been "greatly exaggerated." Mr. Mauldin is still alive at this time. He suffered a stroke of appoplexy, it seems, one day last week, and it was thought that he was dead, but he recovered. His many friends throughout the county will bo glad to know that ho is still in the land of the living.

In the notice of his supposed death the Progress mentioned that he served two years in the Legislature. It should have said six years, as he served two consecutive terms and again ono term (1910-11). We trust that he may fully recover and be spared many more years of usefulness to his family and country. To Prevent Blood Poisoning apply at once the wonderful old reliable DR.
