WaycroSs Reporter: Last SUNDAY
morning the pastor Of the Methodist
Church, Rev. E. N. W hitting, preached a
touching and interesting sermon to the
children. He related several incidents in
the lives Of children, both good and bad.
which were very interesting not only to
the iniantile mind. but to those Of more
mature years. At the close Of the sermon
an invitation was extended to the little
ones, when quite number Went TO the
altar and knelt, thereby expressing a de-
sire 10 be on the Lords side. 1t was a
touching scene, and will long be remem-
bered by those present. 1t is q fact that
impressions made upon our minds when
we are young viii affect and influence our
actions in all future life. God bless the
dear little ones, and may they be brought
into the right way while young, so that
when they get old they will not depart
from it.
Sylvania Telephone. James l.. Dow, re-
siding near Cameron, came very near be-
ing killed on Friday afternoon last hy a
freight train. He had been over INTO Bull
loch county, and returning, drove up in
front Of the store of Messrs. Henderson &
Evans. at Cameron station. and stopped
to talk to Mr.. Evans. While there
the afternoon freight train, tor
Savannah, came down, and as
1t approached he attempted "a
drive off, but his horse refused to go, and
ran the buggy back TO the railroad track.
The engine struck the horse, iniuriug il
considerably The buggy, a new one just
bought by Mr.. Dow, was completely de-
molished, and Mr.. Dow was thrown from
the buggy, and, perhaps, struck by the
engine and Knocked insensible for half an
hour, receiving n bad cut on the head.
No bones were broken, but his escape
from death was certainly miraculous.
Sylvania Telephone: on Monday after
noon last some thonghtless or malicious
party set fire in the woods, about mile
below the court house, and, the wind being
very high, the fire spread very rapidly.
When night came on 1t was seen that sew
eral head of cows and calves were
surrounded by the flames. Some
came out badly scorched, but three
or four were burned to death. On
Wednesday last the woods took
fire in the neighb0rhood of Mr.. William
ROland's house, near our town, and, after
hard work. he succeeded in getting the
fire under control, leaving nothing but an
old clay root burning. About this time a
strolling bull appeared upon the scene,
and began to paw up dirt from the clay
root, and, in so doing, he dug up some Of
the fire, which was thrown mp in the air
and came down upon his back, and the
wind being high at the time, tanned
the embers into flame, and in an
instant the bull was going at 2:i0
rate all in blaze. In this plight
he dashed into a sedge field near by, and
scattered fire faster than SamsOn's foxes.
In few minutes Mr.. Rolanl's work was
doubled ten fold, and, with half a dozen
neighbors 10 help fight the fire, itscon-
sumcd about 300 panels Of Col. Single
toms fencing before it could be eXtn-
guished. We suppose the bull was com
plelely cremated, he should have been,
at any rate.
