Tobias Thompson escaped miraculous
ly from an awful death yesterday after
noon. He was digging well on Wasoola
street, when the earth caved and buried
all of him except his head, which was
fast sinking also, when Mrs. Haggerty
saw him.
Mrs. Haggerty called help and then
brought tin water pipe for him to
breathe through. The tin pipe was about
three inches in diameter, and when il
was lowered to Thompson he resolutely
put it over his mouth, closed his eyes
and prepared for the worst. Soon his
head disappeared from sight, and three
feet of Garth was over him bef re the
caving in could be stopped. Many men
went to work digging.

There are some remarkable incidents
connected with the life of Uncle Wiley
Fletcher. He was born when his father
was a hundred and one years of age, and
his father lived TO see him vote. His
Oldest brother, if he was now living,
would be one hundred and fifty years
old.
Mr. Fletcher is now on visit to his
many friends in Hawkinsville and,
though seventy one years Of age, he ap-
pears to be as full of life and energy as
any man in the prime of life. He says
that he split rails the day before he left
home and it is asserted by those who
know him that he can outrun any man
in the county, in the State, in America,
or in the world.
