and friends. Names, dates, facts are
preserved for you in the most accessi.

miseries, laugh at your follies, and
rejoice in a review Of the steps which
have led you to prosperity. 1t gives
the history Of your town and county,
which is but an epitome of universal
history.

they are sensible. The true secret of
dress is to have things at a moderate
cost, and a glance at the August mum.

Last Saturday, about noon, Alvin,
the 15.year.old son Of w. w. Thomas,
had about as narrow an escape from
death as one generally meets with.
He was helping his father, who is
doing the saving on Lawrence &
Smearbaugh's mill across the creek,
and was stepping over the line shaft
which extends out through the side Of
the mill and is about two feet from
the ground, when his apron, which
was wet and ravelly at the bottom,
caught on the shaft, and before the
boy had time to think twice his entire
wearing apparel was being rapidly
stripped from his body and wound
around the shaft. He is unable tc
tell exactly whether he was revolved
around the shaft, which was going al
the rate of about 60 revolutions pei
minute, or not, but when discovered
by the mill crew he was entirely nude
with the exception of his boots. Bar
ring slight soreness about the Limbs
he was not injured, but had his cloth
ing not given out ho would undoubt
edly have been ground to pieces.
