Accident With Firearms.

Mr.. Sam. Warfeld, son of the
late Geo. Warfield, Esq, was seri-
Ously injured last Saturday by the
accidental discharge of his rifle.
The gun had been just loaded and
cooked when finding, as he sup
posed, an imperfect cap he let it
down with the stock to the ground,
in doing which the jar caused the
discharge of the piece, the bullet
striking him in the chest.
The ball struck the right nipple
and ranged upwards for three inches
when it entered the cavity of the
chest. OF course its track could be
followed no further but the symp-
toms indicate that the lung has been
specifically wounded. Blood spit
ting had ceased on Wednesday and
there is every prospect of favOra-
bic termination. The ball has not
been extracted or even found, nor is
it at all probable that it will be; it
would be bad surgery to search for it.

Captain WOldridge's Lecture.

The lecture of Capt. Woodbridge
in the Cumberland Presbyterian
church on Friday night of last week,
was a great success. His subject
was "The Consequences of Matri-
mony." This subject was treated
with such a display of profound
philosophy and humorous descrip-
ton that there was not a person
present who did not wish to hear it
again. Capt. w. is at once brilli-
ant, profound and humorous in
everything he treats. Of the truth
Of his descriptions we are only able
to judge from an eXOteric point of
view, never having risked the matri-
mOnial experiment ourselves. From
his descriptions we were led to the
conclusion that we had lost much by
our continued celibacy; at the same
time there were some points in the
lecture which a little worked out
might, we think, furnish material
for a separate lecture to be entitled,
" Consolation for Old Bachelors"

An Old Hat.

During the building of Mr.. w. G.
Barksdale's residence in 1914, Mr..
John Ballard, who had the contract
to do the plastering, laid his hat and
two plugs of tobacco up on one of
the jOists, where they were forgot
ten until after the laths had been
nailed on, and it was then too late
to recover them. Nothing more
was thought of them until last year,
when Mr.. Barksdale in making
some improvements and additions
to his residence let the work to Mr..
Bradley who, in tearing off one
end of the house, found the lOng-lOst
hat and tobacco. The hat when
found was i'll a perfect state of pre-
servation excepting the lining, and
was one of those high-crowned kind
which Mr.. Ballard always wore.
As for the tobacco, Mr.. Bradley
says it is the best he ever cheWed.

Committees Renort.

TO Hon. Horace FL. Latrton, Chan
cetL0r:
Having been appointed by order OF
the Court, at the present term, to ex-
anime and report on the accounts of
the Clerk and Master, Polk G. john
son, respectfully state that we have
gone over his entire accounts with
the different cases in Court and find
that the balances in bank as shown
by his bank books, and by the GER
tificates of the cashiers of the banks
where his accounts are kept, are cor
rect and show that he has to his
credit in bank the amount due in
each case. So we report that the
clerks accounts are correctly kept
and the money is in bank, and on
hand to meet any order the Court
may make. We make the clerks
report and the certificates of the
banks report and the certificates of
the bank parts of this report.
respectfully submitted,

COrbandaIe Items.

Mr.. E. w. Powers killed large
rattle snake near his house last week
that measured nine inches in cir
conference. DIR. TomlinsOn has the
skin stuffed and on exhibition at his
office.
There is a good deal of sickness in
the country, principally chills and
fever. Measles has been raging
among the negroes in the upper end
of District No. 8, and several have
died of it. They call it ROsA-ovER
and think it is worse than old fashion
measles.
The name of the PostOffice at
at Central Point, will be changed to
Dotsonville, at the end of the pres
ent quarter. An Office will be
opened at PALMYRA soon, with Mr..
S. B. Powers as Postmaster.
A little boy and girl, Minnie Math-
is and Shelby Larkin are killing
tobacco flies for premium. They
have killed over a hundred, with
out the use of poison, around some
jamestown weeds in the back yard.
A premium is offered them in case
they fail to get one from Messrs. M.
H. Clark & Bro. There are very
few worms on the tobacco as yet.
Corn and tobacco are looking
splendid, though the drouth injured
them a little.
We have had fine rains the past

Base Ball.

We give below letter from our
young friend Arthur Eakin, of Muir
treesboro, Tenn, who was Captain
of the College base ball club last ses-
sion. His letter is occasioned by
one which appeared in our issue of
the week before last over the signa-
ture g A friend to Base Ball." Hav-
ing no personal knowledge of the
matters under discussion we leave
our correspondents to make their
own statements without comment
of ours. On this point, however, we
can corroborate the statement of
Capt. Eakin, that at the time speci-
fed there was no Chronicle club in
existence. An attempt to organize
such club a year ago last Spring
failed from the fact that several of
its expected members went to Col
lege and naturally joined the Col
lege club. The present Chronicle
club was not organized till the close
of the College session:
DIR. DANIEL F. WRIGHT: Dear
DOctOr-WhO is that Friend of
Base Ball" who has taken it upon
himself to attempt to make excuses
for the Smith Club, when they had
ttCice deliberately broken an en-
gagement? What if we were playing
a nine picked from three clubs, they
knew all of that Tor thought they
knew it) long before the thallenge
was either given or received; but
most emphatically deny that we
played any men except such as be-
lOnged to the College Club. That
some of the boys were not members
of the University, nobody disputes,
nor did we intend that the name
contrary meaning to the minds of
the Smith club. That !" Friend of
Base Ball" has been miSinfOrmed
by some of the Smith club (un-
less he is one of them) that our
catcher was borrowed from the
Guthrie club, which was not the
case, for before we asked him to
play with us he told us that he had
left the Guthrie club and did not in
tend to play with them again. He
was informed that our right fielder
was a member of the former ChrOn-
icle club; this likewise is a mistake,
for at the time at which we played
the match game the Chronicles were
not in existence. If the Smith club
did not back out without a reason /
have been miSiOfOrmad

IN our notice last week of the
death of Robert Pegram, of Louis
vile, we were mistaken in stating
that the throat of the young man
when found was cut. Such was not
the case, but, instead, there was a
deep cash over the right eye. 1t is
supposed that he was murdered by
some cOwardly assassin for the watch

THE Florida Agriculturalist says:
Our climate is suited to the prOpaga-
ton of the ''cinchona," and it now
only requires some enterprising men
to take hold and plant. The price
of quinine has doubled on account
of the war in Europe, as it has done
at the breaking out of every war.
We very much doubt it. All the
cinchOna of the world grows on
mountain slopes and has never sue
ceeded elsewhere. The Southern
States of our Pacific coast would be
more likely to answer.

There was a very fine rain on We'd

coming somewhat critical, but the
rain was Of such a copious and sat
urating character that corn and to-
baccO will take fine start. To our
mind it amounts to raising the pros.
pect for corn from decidedly poor
and short to low average and a few
such rains will run it up to full av-
erage.

A GENTLEMAN from Memphis,
who visited GAINESVILLE short time
ago, and stopped at the Franklin
House, stated publicly that the
Franklin House was the best hotel
he knew of anywhere, and that he
would give any reasonable amount
if Memphis could boast of such a
well-kept house. This speaks well
for GAINESVILLE.
