burned Monday afternoon and his
condition is considered very critical.
The parents were notified and drove
all night in a car to their son’s bed
side. Mrs. Sloan was formerly Miss
Hats Padgett. The little fellow* got
hold of some matches and attempted
to start a fire, when his clothing
caught. He was terribly burned
from his lungs to his knees. Miss
Mabel Padgett was the first to reach
him and while attempting to smother
the flames, was herself badly burned.

WORK OF THE NEGRO
CANNING CLUBS.
Though the garden products have
been shortened by the dry weather,
we have canned beans, peas, beets and
squash up to this date.
I want to urge the club members
to contnue to replant their gardens
that have been burned up by the dry
weather, as the shortage of fruit is
compelling us to depend on veget
ables for the canning work.
I hope the club members and par
ents will sacrifice time to come to
the demonstrations when given at
your school or in your community.
If you have, no vegetables to bring,
you may come and learn the lessons,
and when your vegetables are ready
at home you will know how to can
them.
