while skidding logs at said place
met with a fearful accident on Fri
day morning last. The logs were
on skidways and Mr.. NJ. hitched his
team to an ordinary sized one but
finding that the freeze on Thursday
night had made it very firm he took
his hand spike and pryed the log
loose. 1t started down the skidway
very suddenly and in Mr.. MarUin's
attempt to get out OF its way slip
ped and fell The log rolled up on
his shoulder catching his arm and
hand and but for the fortunate posi-
tion his hand spike fell which stop
ped the force of the log he would
have been ground into pieces. His
hand was smashed and one finger
put out Of joint and his side fear-
fully bruised. He was held in this
position until he released himself by
removing the ground from under
meath his arm. His brother-in-law
who lives short distance from the
scene brought him to LaPorte where
DR.. Hill sewed up his hand made
right his finger and sent him home
rejoicing.

Our eDterprisiBg young friends,
Messrs. G.. w. Smith and r. e

the erection of new steam gin and

power engine, sixty saw gin, with
all modern attachments, and a first
class French bnrr rock grist MILL
They did their first grinding last
Saturday, aud we are informed that
the mill and machinery worked like
a charm. The machinery was placed
10 position and put in running order
by Mr.. John Burge. They will soon
be ready for the flpecy staple, and
will guarantee as good sample as
apy gin in the country. They are to
have an improved steam press con
nected with their gin and thereby
well prepared to turn off cotton as
fast as it comes in. This plant will
cost, when it is completed, between
$1,000 aud $1,000. A steam gin
and grist mill is something that
Bellevue has stood i'm need of for a
long while. We hope these young
men may do well in their laudable
enterprise, and we believe they will.

Nothing will so effectually solve
doubts, relieve suspense, and re-
move uncertainty as a habit OF
promptly performing the nearest
duty. Much Of the hesitation and
perplexity which hinder advance
ment and confuse mems lives, comes
from simply thinking, when they
ought to be doing. Thought and
action should never be separated.
If action is often hasty and i'll judg,
ed for want of thought, thought is
often vague and abortiye for want
OF action.

compare favorably with the hay ship

ed 1900 to 1000 pounds. SO it would

he could have cut great deal more
if it had not turned off so dry.

A BRAMwELL TRAGEDY.
The Grcen-Eyed Monster Gets I'm Ills
Work In the Coal Regions.

A gentleman who arrived in the
CITY last evening from Bramweli
brings the story of a dastardly murder
committed there on Thursday.
AS Wood Dews, a hard-worklng
Young colore6 man was crossing the
bridge leading from Mill Creek, an
adjoining settlement, he was shot and
killed by some one hiding in the bush
on the banks of ravine.
Dews was accompanied by his
dusky sweetheart ard q dog. The
first shot struck the dog, and the ami
nal fell from the bridge to the sharp
rocks underneath. Another shot i'm
mcdiately followed, striking Dews
and wounding him. The girl fled
and Dews drew himself along across
the bridge. Just before he got across,
however, another shot was fired with
fatal effect.
The mans body was carried to the
village, and last night it passed
through this city for Lynchburg, his
former home. 1t is supposed that the
cause of the murder was jealousy, and
a man who was in love with the girl
who accompanied Dews, is suspected.
