The Hope Dispatch comes out this
week with double spurred rooster at
the head of its columns. The fowl is
supposed to be splitting its vocal or
eans over the location OF a 5O-barrel
Touring mill in that fourishing city.
Hope's business men are on the right
track. This enterprise will be worth
10 the town ten times the $3.50 bonus
which it cost them.

Yesterday afternoon Hon. Christie
pher Bismarck Hoffman, the little
giaut' of Enterprise, received an in
jury, scarcely to be expected to occur
to man of his calibre. With child
like simplicity, unsupported in a per-
son of his wisdom and experience, he
"monkeyed with the buzz-saw while in
notion and the result was. as usual,
disastrous,
He was in Ersham's machine shops,
Enterprise, and wishing to make some
change in the machinery, he reached
upward for lever. To better attain
his object he placed one hand upon a
buzz-saw table. The buzz-saw was not
only at home but in motion and ready
for business. A deep cash was cut
across the inner portion of the palm of
Mr.. Hoffman's hand at right angles to
the fingers. The wound was immedi-
ately cared for, but it is feared that the
use of one or two fingers may be lost.
We hope the result may not prove so
so serious as is anticipated.
