Rev. A. G. Reynolds, living four
last Friday afternoon by his team running
away with his harvester. He was fixing
some part of the machine, when the
horses started to run. In trying to catch
the team, Mr.. Reynolds was thrown
down, and the machine ran over him, cut
ting a cash in his scalp some four inches
long, and another Just back of the left
ear, and breaking the ribs in his left side.
DR.. Phillips was called, and dressed the
wounds. Mr.. Reynolds wounds are
not considered dangerous, though it was
narrow escape, and almost a wonder he
was not killed outright
THE REcEPT1oN.-Wedne even
ing. August 22d, at Jones' hall. The
ladies of the Baptist church will give a
reception to Rev. and Mrs. w. E. Stanley
this evenS1ag. All are most cordially in
vited. The hall will be beautifully dec
orated,-the walls with evergreen, the
tables with flowers.-and remember it,
with something to eat. Refreshments
will be served. Instrumental and vocal
music, and speeches, will afford pleasing
entertainment to all. There is another
item on the programme Oluntary-which
will be beautifully rendered by all pres
ent. We are sure that the members of
all our churches and citizens generally,
vii! be glad of this opportunity to show
their appreciation and esteem to our
W. E. Stanley.
The HIDDEN HAND.-Probably one
of the finest entertainments we will have
in our city the coming season will be
that given by Whiteley's Original Hid
den Hand Co., who are to appear in our
city at Jones' hall, Wednesday evening,
Aug. Goth, it being the first appearance
of this Company here. The story of the
e. n. Southworth, and originally publish
ed in the New York Ledger, has never been
made specially on the stage by any other
than this company. The version used is
entirely different from that generally pre-
sented by travelling organizations and,
as Whiteley's Hidden Hand Co. have the
exclusive authority to play this new and
correct dramatization, which also bears
Mrs. Southworth's special endorsement,
it is safe to anticipate thorough and &C.
curate production OF this well known
story. In addition to very strong dra-
matte company, especially engaged for
this pay, they carry their own elegant
and appropriate scenery, music, stage
mountings, etc. Our amusement going
public have rare treat in store fol them.
Remember the date, Wednesday evening,
Aug. Goth. -.
CLEAR LAKR.-The conventions and
concerts which have been in progress for
many weeks past at Clear Lake, have
closed for the season, and with the close
of these popular gatherings, comes also
the departure of tourists and campers.
The cottages are nearly oil closed, tents
down and folded up, everything packed,
and baggage checked for home. Home
back home again-back to it's work, its
it's winds and waves and the silence Of
shores and woods and hills, the first COM
panions of its early years. The season
has been very successful one indeed,
both as to the number who have sought
out the resort, and as to the interest man
ifested in the meetings. The closing fea.
ture of marked interest to all was the
musical. lasting an entire week, terminal
ing with grand finale, an eighth concert
Of ballads and old time songs. This West
ern Musical Association is under the
