Accidents. George Fix received a
bruise on his hand by a blow from a ham,
mer while working at his trade (black.
smithing), which rendered him unable for
work for short time.
One day last week, as William, son OF
Mr.. Allen, of this place, was riding in a
wagon belonging to j. S. McCorkle in
which were some grain cradles, he fell on
one of the blades with his hand and.wrist,
and had inflicted severe wound. DIR. r..
A. McChesney dressed the wound and he
is now doing well.
PersonM.-Mr. John Mish and bride have
returned from their bridal tour to South
western Virginia. They have gone to
housekeeping in the heretofore bachelor
residence of Mr.. Mish in the part of the
brick dwelling of Jas. w. McCorkle. They
have the best wishes of a number Of
friends.
Mr.. Editor, your informant who caused
you to say that harvesting would he gen
orally done by Saturday, June 2Sth, was
badly informed. By the time this goes to
press it will not more than wind up har-
vesting in this locality, and many who
have cut their grain before it was properly
matured have paid dearly for it, as great
complaint comes up from different locali-
ties of moulding of the wheat i'll the shock
owing to the continued rainy season.
Wheat promises better yield than last
year in this section. Grass is not as heavy
as last year and not as good quality, as
there are SO many weeds in it. 1t is
thought by some that the continued rainy
season and lack of sunshine caused the
weeds to grow more rapidly than the grass.
Our road, the only southern outlet to
our town, has been again engineered, the
third time for this process without even
locating any certain track. 1t is an out
rage for our county authorities to be pay
ing the peoples money to civil engineers
to walk over the road, and then let the
people wagon over such road. 1t would
not even compare in the days of wooden
mouldboards and revolving hay rakes.
Since writing the above. Am informed
of the death of that old aud respected cit
lzen, Mr.. JAS. Ship. aged near 80 years.
He was soldier in the war of 1872. He
had been drawing pension for several
years His remains were inferred Sunday
last at Mt. Tabor church.
Mr.. George Mish. son of Henry Mish,
Esq, was buried at Bethel Church on
SUNDAY last. lie died of consumption,
from which he had been suffering for some
time. Lie lived near this place Oh the old
homestead. He leaves wife and some
small children. how many [ have not

time getting their harvests off on account
of the continued wet weather and much
of the grain is considerably damaged, some
of it badly sprouted. But we hope the
loss on the wheat crop will be made up by
the increased corn crop, which is looking
better than for several years.
