Winchester Leader Rev. W. T. Harris,
of this city, Presiding Elder of the NJ
E. CE urch (col'd), met with a serious ac-
cident about o'clock last Saturday night.
In company with Revs. J. w. Waters and
VIM. Jones, he was driving up steep hill
in Augusta county, near Hillsville, where
he had been conducting a meeting, when
a clipper-hook broke loose and the spring
wagon went flying down the road. The
vehicle soon upset with the occupants
Rev. Harris was thrown with great force
against log, breaking ribs on his left
side, and the driver landing on top of
MIN. broke lis cOlar-bOne. Tho driver
thus escaped injury, but Rev. Waters had
one knee badly hurt and Rev. Jones was
severely bruised. The accident was part
w caused by frightful storm of rain,
hail and snow that suddenly came up
With assistance, Rev. Harris managed to
walk about half mile to a house, when a
nhysicIan was sent for. On Monday he
was conveyed TO Stanton and arrived
home the same evening Oh the B. h D
His suffering is quite severe.
The lecture of Mrs. Belva Lockwood at
the Court House, Tuesday last, was a
failure only when viewed from financial
standpoint. The lecturer appeared well
versed in her interesting subject-"Is
Marriage Failure i"-and cited many IN
stances and opinions bearing on the ques-
ton. Belva i a rather portly woman, of
not very tender age, and about as hand
some as you could expect defeated candi-
date for the Presidency to be. She was
neatly attired in a brown dress, with a
modest bonnet Gf same kind. She was
introduced by Mr.. VIM. Atkinson, and
proceeded to business without hesltancy
or embarrassment. Having been married
herself and acted as attorney IN not less
than 200 divorce cases, she evidently felt
master of the subject. Shespoke forcibIy
and rapidly and her remarks were inter
esting, amusing and instructive. In her
preliminary remarks she compllmented
Reed as being the only Speaker that ever
succeeded in banishing the drinking sa-
loon from the House and helping to give
il a severe blow at the National Capital.
Speaking of the rum-seller she said she
had about as much respect for HIM as for
the man who votes him license to SELL
The lecture was quite lengthy. 1t is to
be regretted so few were in attendance,
but we presume IT our Young people had
been there, instead of taking her word
for it, they'd still want to find ont from
practical experience whether or not
marriage is failure.
