IN the Fourth of July a terrible accident
happened to Charles Clifton, by which his
right arm was blown to atoms. 1t appears
that a party of men were celebrating at
Strawberry City, and Clifton held a piece
of Giant powder in his hand with a fuse and
cap attached, intending to throw it away
before it exploded. He held it too long,
however, and the powder exploded with
terrific force, tearing his hand and arm into
shreds.
We feel some degree of local pride in
chronicling the fact that Masters Willie
Word, Lewis Wager, Charles Barber, and
Alton Bower, tour Virginia youths who have
been in attendance at the Kemper Family
School, Boonyille, Missouri, during the last
year, were, in the examination at that in.
%stitute, ON the 10th ult., distinguished above

and department during the academic year
This school ranks among the best in the
country, not only for the excellence of its
facilities for the educationsof paples, but al:
so for the superior discipline and training
which are enjoined upon them.
