SERIOUS Academia Basnetts-
vile correspondent informs us that
at game of base ball last Saturday,
the 18th instant, about five miles
from Fairview, this county, near the
head of Miracle run, young man
named Lafayette Taught was very
seriously if not fatally injured by be-
ing struck on the head by a base
ball bat in the hands ofJacob Taught,
Jr., one of the players who was bat
ter at the time. Lafayette was sery-
ing as catcher, and in endeavoring
to stop ball he jumped too far for
ward; the batter, not noticing it,
struck at the ball, and struck Lafay-
cite on the back part of the head
with the bat, inflicting a desperate
wound. 1t was feared at first that
the injuries would soon prove fatal
as he lay for some time apparently
without breath or motion, the blood
flowed from his mouth. But toward
evening he revived some, but had not
yet regained consciousness on the
next evening. DR.. w. L. McLane,
of Fairview, was summoned to attend
his injuries, and reported them to be
very serious if not fatal. If the blow
had been received one inch higher it
is the opinion that death would have
been instantaneous West Tirgin-

MEETING Of THE Town COUNCIL
The town council got in some good
work last night. The result of the
meeting was as follows: They passed
an order that they proceed to open a
street 80 feet wide, fronting on the
F. M. q P. r. R., and extending
from the lower end of Cherry alley
to the end of Foundry street. All
this is done with an understanding
that the railroad will locate its depot
on the west side of this new street,
and will give the right of way
through their land to Foundry street,
where the new street is opened from
Cherry alley southwark to the lands
OF the railroad company. In addi-
ton to this Councilmen N. N. Hoff-
man, 7. Pickenpaugh and Ed Der
ing were appointed to negotiate with
the land owners that would be in
truded upon by this improvement,
for the right of way. It is rumored
that the contract for the depot build
ing will soon be let, and that the
company proposes to erect q fine
building here, being 108 feet long
and 40 feet wide. Let the good work
go on!

WATER WELL FINISHED last
Thursday boring at the water well
temporarily ceased. They had reach
ed the extent of the original con-
tract, which was depth Of S65 feet.
That depth only took them through
a part of the water sand. The con.
tractor, Mr.. Myler, on Saturday
agreed to bore two days and a hall
if he did not reach the bottom of the
sand before, for nothing. In persu-
.ance of this promise boring was com.
menced at midnight Sunday night

tanned. The water rises within 125
feet of the surface. There is nc
doubt that if the mouth of the hole
was as low as that of the gas well
water would flow from it in abund.
ance. So if we get the water we
will HAYS to secure it by pumping.
Whether we will pump it or not is
now the question that confronts US
We have the water, plenty of it, and
that of the purest quality, and there
is only 125 feet between us and it
This is much better than some oil
our neighboring towns that have tc
bring their pure mountain water
three and four miles. And we are
certainly much better off than those
towns that have to content them
selves by using river water, and have
to pump it much greater distance
than 1875 feet. Whether the watel
will be used or not has not yet beer
determined. but if our chances tt
get it are as fattering as seems by
all means let us have it. Rest as
sured if we do not chose to use it, i
will be used at some future day BY
the people who will then live in thi
town. Let us be the first to en-
joy it.
