shot i'm the Heel.

Capt. H. C. Fisher, route agent
for the Southern Express Company,
met with an annoying and painful ac-
cident last Friday evening. He had
been lying down in the Office here,
with his coat off. When he got Up
to put it on, his pistol dropped
on the floor, the hammer striking and
discharging one barrel, the ball pass
ing through his right heel We are
glad to learn that no bones were bro
ken, and hope he will not have much
trouble with it. Capt. Fisher is one of
the best officers connected with the
company, and his services could lily
be dispensed with.
