A Remarkable Chapter of Acct
dents,

A series of accidents to carpen tiers en-
gagged in remodeling the Farmers Hotel
occurred on Wednesday. The most seri-
Gus was to Thomas Green, well known
carpenter of Elkton. While lie was
engaged at work on the third story a
ratter fell across bis back. He was in a
STOPPING position at the time and was
severely injured. Richard Stevens, who
was working on the building, threw a
board to the ground which unfortunately
struck A. j. Scofeld, a fellow workmen
who was walking in the yard back of the
house, on the head and knocked him
seuseless. He soon recovered, however,
and was able to work the next day.
William Morgan, carpenter, was struck
on the shoulder by part of brick falling
from above and bruised the same day.
A. M. Strickland, the contractor and
builder. narrowly escaped having his
shoulder broken. A whole brick fell
from the chimney and struck board
which he was carrying. II he had not
been protected by the board he thinks
his shoulder would have been broken.
Three accidents and narrow escape in
one day about one building appears re-
markable. Mr.. Stephens, who has been
working at carpentering since boyhood,
never had an accident to happen before
on building upon which he was engaged

It looks small for editors to be run ming for petty little offices in connec- tion with biennial sessions of the leg islature. We are led to make this re- mark from seeing it stated that C. C. Colburn, of the Ozark Democrat, is running for assistant clerk, door, keer, or some such office; also one or more other editors for similar of fees. Like many peoples sentiment regarding preachers running fer of flee, we think an editors calling is above such petty offices.

So long as the farmers depend on the merchants Co feed them they will be poor. The farmers ought to be feeding the merchants, and that is what they are doing in all we'll regu- lated communities. When farmers sell grain, flour, fruit, vegetables, hay, poultry, dairy products, etc., they lay the foundation for indepen- dence. When they buy nearly all these things and depend on cotton to pay for them, they generally do a losing business. .- Ex.

While work is being laid off for the next legislature, we would sug- gest that some gerrymandering be done, so as to break the Republican majority in this the 9th judicial cir cult. As the 9th is only composed of four counties, while the eighth has six, we would suggest that Clark be taken from the Sth and added to the 9th, thus giving each district five counties.
