GEORGETOWN, July 24.-Hay har.
vest is now in full progress and farm
ers are getting it up in excellent con-
dition thus far. The farmers In this
section are generally providing them
selves with machinery and harvest
does not drag along as 1t used to do.
Quite a number ofnew mowers, rakes
&c were bought this season. Stew
arts run, branch Of Big Indian
creek, about three miles long, (nine
farms extending nearly its entire
length has on it eight mowers.
The thresher of Cox, Dicken and
Hess, propelled by traction engine
has been at work, and does its work
well. Steam is superceding horse
power for threshing grain, being bet
ter and more economical.
j. A. Hess, of the above named
company, got his foot very badly
mashed last week while moving their
engine and thresher.
N. C. Cox has been very sick for
the past week or two, of inflamma
tory rheumatism, and as yet is not
much better il any.
w. N. Stewart had an attack Of
something like sunstroke last week.
He is better again.
Mrs. J. L. Floyd is still very sick
and no improvement to note.
Miss Edna J. Floyd has also been
sick and others are complaining.
We learn there was death last
week, at Rivesville, from flux, and
another severe case reported there.
There are now three trcams haul.
ing timber from the vicinity of Ar
nettsville, and another is expected to
begin drawing Pickenpaugh's timber
from S. C. Stewards this week.
This timber business is cutting up
our roads quito badly and If wet
weather should come some places
would become impossible.
The Bridge at Arncttsville is not
in safe condition and ought to be
Immediately repaired.
DIR. James M. Price and his charm

AND STILL ANOTHER RAILROAD PROP
osrrroN.-It is not impossible that at
no distant date there will be another
proposition submitted to at least a
part of the county, for vote on the
railroad question. Men who favor
the building of railroads, and those
who appreciate the necessity for one
here, are not going to quietly and
Internationally surrender after one
or two defeats. The friends of the
enterprise are discussing the feasibil-
ity Of getting the East Side Of the
river to subscribe fifty or sixty thou
sand dollars to the stock Of the West
Virginia and Pennsylvania road, on
conditions that the line be built on
the East side. We believe the prop
osition would be popular and would
be ratified BY an overwhelming ma
jority of the people. We believe this
the best that can be done at present,
and hope it will be pushed through.
The three districts on this side could
take sixty thousand dollars stock in
an enterprise of that kind and pay it
almost unconsciously. Let US hear
from some of the taxpayers Oh the
subject.

FRrGHTFUL AccIDENr-A CHILD
KILLED AND A FATHER HORRIBLY CUT
BY A MowING MAcHINE.-A dispatch
from Webster, Taylor county, dated
on Saturday last gives the following
account of a deadful accident. One
Of the most tragical accidents that
ever occurred in this section TOOK place
this morning ten miles southeast OF
this place. William Carson, young
farmer, went to the meadow to NOW
grass, taking with him his three year
old boy. The child, carried in his ia
theirs arms made, several rounds on
the machine. At one corner of the
field the horses frightened at some
object, and the sudden start threw the
boy from his fathers arms to the
ground in front of the cutter bar.
Quick as thought the father sprang
to the rescue, but the horses, now
thoroughly scared, leaped forward
crushing down parent and child, cut
ting the latter into small pieces, and
horribly mangling the former. 1t is
thought he cannot recover. The hor-
SEES dashed into a fence and one OF
them is reported dead.
The field where the awful accident
occurred is near the house and Car
sons wife beheld the whole scene
without being able to render any as
sistance whatever. She is nearly
frantic with grief The excitement
in the neighborhood is intense. Car
son was a young man, highly respected
in his community, and the sad and
terrible accident has cast gloom over
the entire neighborhood. The accident
occurred about 5 o'clock this morn
ing. One limb, the side Of the face
and great slices of flesh were cut
from the child, and it was otherwise
bruised and mangled. Mr.. Carson
sustained injuries about the head and
breast. The arm and leg on the right
side are frightfully cut and torn, and
the victim presents sickening as
pect.

A GREAT SrEEcH-LEvI JENKINS
ORArEs(?) TO THE PEorLE OF FAis-
MoNr--WHAT THE GENTLEMAN CD
SAIp.-Many Of our citizens will re.
member an individual named "Leve"
Jenkins who was once resident of
this place and around whose memory
an aroma of fragrance clings. This
party is now resident Of Palatine
and has Of late been before the Mayor
and the courts for various offenses.
For being called to account he
thought it his duty to explain him
self and to give his opinion of his
neighbors in public speech. This
he proceeded to do and below is the
report of the harangue as given by
the Inder.
A large crowd gathered in the
Court House on Saturday evening to
hear the address of Levi jenkins,
which was announced to be given at
that time and place. 1t was under
stood that the gentleman had some
thing very interesting to say, and
there was some curiosity as to what
it was, and how he would say it.
hence the crowd. The speech was
a lively one-rich, rare and racy, and
likewise grand, gloomy and peculiar,
and also funny, fanciful and farcical,
and perhaps something besides, but
we are short on adjectives this morn
ing land cannot describe it. The
major portion of his speech referred
to the town Of Palatine, of which he
is a resident, and the citizens OF
that village, whom he claims have
wickedly conspired to work his ruin
and the ruin Of his estimablc family.
He referred to the town as "hell's
half. acre." and called out the names
of several residents who, in his opin-
ion, were especially low and vile and
vicious. He said very few Of the in
habitants Of this modern city Of Sod.
ON would ever go where good Elijah
went-an unfortunate remark, we
think, for every last one of those
wicked people will now claim to be OF
the very. few who will eventually reach
the better land. With the exception
Of this admission Of partial goodness,
Mr.. Jenkins scored the town and PEG
pie in admirable style, and to the great
amusement of his audience, who
seemed to be pleased to hear Of the
huge baseness Of what has heretofore
been believed to be quiet and moral
community. But the most startling
announcement made by the speaker
was that he had cut loose from the
Republican party, and hereafter ISL
long as the atmosphere Of Democracy
pcrmeated the land" he would be
found in the ranks of the Democratic
party. He said he was veteran of
the Mexican and Civil wars, and is a
pensioner for injuries received while
in his country's service, but even the
probable loss of his pension, he said,
could not alter his intentions Of be-
coming n Democrat. So we accord
ingly warn the Democracy of Marion
that Mr.. Jenkins has boldly entered
the fold and proposes to stay with
us, as he has also promised to abide
with the people of Palatine in spite of
all their wicked prosecutions. We
are informed that Mr.. Jenkins will
probably repeat his address in this
place at an early day.

A FARMER of this county who does
not take country paper, and thinks
such would not be worth $3.50 to him
for a year, sold his clip Of wool this
year for 80 cents per pound, while
his neighbors who took the paper were
getting SO to 35. The difference is
the latter were posted by the county
papers as to the price and the former
was not. In the transaction, no
doubt he lost enough to pay for two
papers for several years and to get

JOHN L. HEcHMER, prominent cit
izen of Grafton, has made an assign
ment. He was Grand Treasurer OF
the Catholic Knights Of America,
which position he held for five years,
and it is claimed that his accounts
are short $40, 1000. Mr.. Hechmer will
be remembered as one of the young
Democrats who entered the Republi-
can ranks last year, and whose chanc-
es for obtaining the post-ofilce at
Grafton, as a reward for changing his
politics, were considered exceedingly
good at one time. It is, therefore,
not surprising that he went astray
after getting into the Republican
party.
