Desdemona Man Suffers
Cuts in Freak Accident
Willis Thlebaud of Desdemona
suffered several cuts about the chin
and mouth as the subject of a very
peculiar automobile accident last
Tuesday morning.
When approaching Dublin at a
speed of about thirty-five miles an
hour, according to witnesses the
Ford pickup which Mr. Thlebaud
was driving left the road and hit
one end of a concrete bridge. The
accident became a freak when In-
stead of stopping, or turning off to
one side, the car straddled the
bridge wall with both sets of wheels
and hung precariously balanced on
the rail.
After the car was raked from end
to end underneath and almost every
vital Bilng about It twisted and
broken, aU that could be salvaged
was the generator, the carburetor
and the car’* accessories
Cuts on Mr. Thlebaud s chin were
treated and stitched In Dublin be-
fore he returned home.

AUNT BABE KEITH CELFWRATES
65th BIRTHDAY BY
COOKING OWN
DINNER ’
"Aunt" Babe Keith celebrated, on
July 25. her 85th birthday and March
of this year marked her 69th wed-
ding anniversary. 'Tve been right
here In Dublin 89 years." she said,
“and I think I am the oldest resi-
dent here. If there is anyone who
was here when I cams, I don t know
It"
Eighty-five years have Just suf-
ficed to get Aunt Babe well started
It seems. At least it doesn't seem
possible that she could have ever
had much more energy or more
groclous personality, nor a gayer
laugh than she now has
"Yes, I had a nice birthday," she
said, "I cooked my own dinner and
the neighbors brought In some cakes
and tea and things, and though
my children are so scattered that
they couldn't be here, they all se/.t
gifts and remembrances."
When the Interview was finished
and the reporter prepared to take
his leave from the house on the
southern end of Black Jack street
where Aunt Babe lives with her son,
Phil Keith, the tody gathered her
writing materials about her and put
the finishing touches on one of the
letters In the wide correspondence
which she carries with her children
and numerous friends.
The Progress hopes together with
Aunt Babe's friends that she will
enjoy many more such birthdays
