Rev. Green and Rev. Sharp, of
kirksville, preached here Sunday at
four O'Clock.
We learn that on last Tuesday,
while \ Buckallew was putting up a
drop pipe at the Greentop tank, his
feet slipped and he and the pipe fell to
the ground, distance of I6 feet, the
pipe falling on his hand and severely
bruising it.
Called at our Union Sunday School
last Sunday. The school was opened
hy W. S. Gatlin, Supt., with good at
tendance and good order. Greentop
can boast of good Sunday School.
On last Tuesday NJ Weston's little
boy or 9 years of age was narrowing
some ground for Jeff Dyer and was
riding one of the horses. The har-
row caught on a pole and raised the
harrow up, and when coming down it
struck one of the horses IN the hip
with one of the harrow teeth. The.
horse ran some distance with the har-
row hanging to his hip and when they
came to stop the horse fell dead.
We are sorry for Mr.. Weston for this
leaves him without team.
w. B. Reynolds left on Tuesday for
St. Louis with a car load OF cattle and
one OF hogs,
On last Saturday morning the train
killed two COWS, and one yearling heifer
