TERRIBLE ACCIDENT Mr.. Wallace
w. Wilmot, sawyer in Fitzgerald's mill
met with a most painful accident last
Saturday. 1t appears that he was
wiping some oil from the friction pully
which runs the "haul up wheel, when
his right hand was caught and pulled
in between the pulley and wheel, and
held there by their rapid revolution
until someone ran into the engine
room and had the steam shut off.
Then, the machinery running light, it
took some two or three minutes to stop
it, Mr.. Wilmot's hand was so firmly
held between the pulley and wheel
that it was impossible to remove it
even after the machinery had stopped
until piece of joist had been sawed
off, maKing some five minutes that his
hand was held in this terrible position.
The flesh on the inside of his hand was
all worn off to the bones, but fortu-
nately none of the latter We're broken.
Happily the back of the hand is whole,
and DR.. Adams has hopes of saving it,
Mr.. Wilmot may be set down as man
of good courage, for he walked nearly
half mile before having his hand
dressed, and on Tuesday was quite
cheerful in the prospect of getting
around again in three or four months

is also three miles from Tugaloo River
Situated, may say, OF the foot Of the Blue
Ridge mountains, it is in the most healthy
part Of the State; fact which Is duly

arc not very fertile, and owing to its porous
nature, is easily washed off. The surface
of tho country is very broken and hilly and
in somo places quito mountainous. We
have on tho West side tho rioh valley Of
the Tugaloo and on tho East, though much
farther of, the Seneca River aud Beaver.
