NENIEhIOMNJ n.y., OcI. I'D.
Editor Herald:
There are come serious accidents tc
chronicle this week.
| HURT BY HORSE.
Mr.. Carson Rowe was badly hurt by 8
horse falling upon him. He was work
ing the horse, which became frightened
and entangled in the gear, and fell upon
Mr.. Rowe's breast, bruising him severely
There are, however, no doubts of his re.
covery.
ANKLE BROKEN.
Mr.. George Tinsley, stepson of Alb.
Hill; had his ankle broken last Wednes-
day, while scufiiing in play with cons
panion. DR.. Sanders was called to set
the broken limb. and we hear that the
patient is doing will.
DANGEROUS FALL.
We hear that Mr.. Timothy S. Bennett,
of West Providence neighborhood, fell
from the tiers Of his tobacco barn one
day last week. badly breaking both
bones OF his WRIT and dislocating his
wrist JOINT. DR.. j. NJ. EVERY, of Ceralvo,
has his case, and though no late news
from Mr.. Bennett. it is presumed that he
is getting along very well.
sIALARIAL TROUBLE
We have several cases of chills, and
some other sickness. Mr.. VIM. Ford, a
young man of our town. has some kind
of fever, and is pretty sick.
MATRIMONIAL.
But Notwithstanding fevers and broken
limbs, people will marry. We had,
during the past week, two weddings,
with only supper and breakfast between
them as to time, and few hundred yards
as to distance. The first was that of Mr..
R. G. McAdams to Miss Maggie Phipps,
at the residence Of the brides father,
Rev. E. V. Phipps, on the 10th instant.
The other was Mr.. T. N. Phipps, q
brother Of Mr.. McAdams' bride, to Miss
Sallie NJ. Warden, daughter of John C.
Warden. The wedding took place at Mr..
W. NJ. Warden's. on the morning of the
llth. Rev. G. J. Bean performed the
marriage rites for both couples They
all took a short bridal trip to Hopkins
county, where they have relatives, and
returned Saturday.
PECULIAR VISITS.
Speaking OF weddings, we are reminded
that there is an agent of the Singer Sew
ing Machine Company around here, oc~
easionally. and he visits persons who
already have sewing machines. Perhaps
he wants to swap machines. Well, that's
all right. so it's matter-o money (mat-
yimony) visit.
VISIT HOME.
Our friend S. B. Bishop, who is teach
ing at Island Station, Mclean county,
paid visit to his home Saturday, and
returned Sunday. Sam is looking we'll,
SO the girls say.
BASE BALL
Next Saturday there will be a match
game here between the Equality base ball
Club and the Centertown club.
OPINION OF SORGHUM.
Ifyou want 10 know Mr.. Jacob C.
Wardens opinion Of making up sorghum
molasses, just ask him.
More at some other time.
