A lady who came from Culleoka few DAYS

have formed partnership. A strong team

| ner. The Doctor confines his preference for
| partners to the profession, however.
| Some one has written US short letter re-
latiDg to the health of Culleoka, but failed to
give his proper name. 1t is essential that we
| should know who our contributors are, espe-
cially whenever their articles are calculated to
create discussion, if not bad feeling.

c. B. Goad went to a steam mill near Big
byville recently, and while the engineer, Mr..
Tanner, was absent for few minutes, he let
on all the steam one hundred and twenty
pounds, The carriage was not set In motion,
ard there never was seen such a racket. The
saw could not be seen at ALL so great was Its
velocity, and the frame of the engine groaned
and jumped up and down as ship in great
storm. The engineer attempted to cut OFT the
steam, hut did not succeed in time to prevent
the big wheel, weighing three thousand
pounds, from being smashed ali to pieces.
By-standers fed in dismay. 1t was general
smsshup, and the damage was about $500.
Mr.. Goad ought to take charge of the engine
on fast through train that goes mile G
minute. The steam mill spoken Of above be-
longs to Hon. Jas. H. Thomas, and is run by
| George Thomas. Some weeks ago, Mr.. Geo.
Thomas was sitting in front of the saw when
1t was in motion, and in attempting to rise his
foot slipped and be fell, one Of bis fingers
striking the saw, which had just been sharp
| ened. His finger was badly hurt, but fortu-
| nately he escaped with his life. Afterward, a
little boy stumbled and fell near the saw,
which cut one of his toes of.
