not having done so for 50 long a time might
be the cause Of the trouble. He acted upon
the advice, using an electric brush each time
after shaving. and to-day he has heavier
beard than he ever had. The question is, was
lt the electric brush or the shaving that re-
stored the beard, or both.

\ well-tO-dO citizen of Taylor county, who
had some trouble with the Cnited States Of
ficials, but from which he was entirely re-
lieVed, became so utterly frightened from
fOrebOdings OF future i'll in consequence that
he sacrificed his crop OF cotton sixteen bales d,
and fed the country for parts unknown, leav
ing his family wholly unprotected. Three Of
his neighbOrs and some or his creditors, who
were sufferers financially by his sudden and
mysterious disappearance, called at the
United States Court to learn the nature of the
charges, II any, against him. Their over
whelming astOnishment when informed there
was absolutely nothing against him in the
courts. can be more easily imagined than de-
scribed. They returned, carrying with them
Official assurances OF this fact, and hoped to
be able 10 discover the absent neighbOr and
induce him TO return to his home and busi-
ness. Many people in the rural districts have
a singular and dreadful fear Of being brought
into the United states Courts.
Decatur Nelcs: 4 sad accident occurred
near Decatur Monday which will probably
result in the death OF highly esteemed lady.
About o'clock on the day mentioned Mrs.
Daniel Nash visited her husband at his gin,
and in walking around the machinery OBJ
served note in the gin that was about to
disappear with the lint. Thinking that il
might cause some damage, she attempted to
remove lt. Her husband saw her and warned
her 70 be careful, 8s she had placed her hand
IN an exceedingly dangerous position. The
words had hardly grown cold upon his lips
when Mrs. NaSh's hand came IN contact with
the rapidly revolving saws. The arm was
Immediately drawn far into the machinery,
and before the machine could be stopped was
terribly mangled. From her elbow down
was quivering mass OF flesh, and the
muscle above was torn from its place.
As soon as possible physicians were sum- .
mOned. Drs. Mays0n and Greene carefully
dressed the wounds as well as possible, in
tending to amputate the arm next day, her
condition being such as to render it impossi-
BE 10 do so at the time. They visited her
Tuesday. but the loss of blood had been so
great a shock to the nervous system of the
patient that she was not in a condition to
stand the operation. In addition TO the eN-
terual wounds iU was discovered that she had
sustained internal injuries that were caused
by a terrible blow from the breast of the gin.
It seems that IL flew up when Mrs. Nash was
drawn towards the machinery and struck her
upon her body sufficiently hard to cause in
ternal hemOrrhage. Thursday morning re
action took place in the condition of Mrs.
Nash and the attending surgeons amputated
the arm. She is now progressing well and is
in fair way to recover.
