Several citizens spent the 4th out of town, others went fishing, the rest went to Idylwild for swimming, skating and a ball game. Mr. A. B. Rowland while diving into the pool at Idylwild hit the bottom and severly injured his neck. The place he dived was considered deep, but the recent heavy rains had filled the pool in and nobody realized this. They thought he broke his neck but after examination by Dr. Brantley it was just a bad sprain.
Idylwild has been very popular this summer for camping. Mr. & Mrs. B. B. Hayes, Mrs. R. H. Rowland, Misses Louise Moore, Elizabeth Cook, Ruby and Nina Jackson, Mr. Edward Sanders and Annis Martin are down there camping this week.
