 1 ACCIDENTAL KILLING. Late last l Wednesday afternoon an unfortunate accidental killing occurred out near Wingticld's ferry. A party of three or four were out squirrel hunting, had found squirrel and were going around the tree shooting at it when gun of MT. NJ. l.. Loomis was acci- dentally discharged, hitting MT. Joe keeer Tn left side, killing him in- stantly. Both were going around tree, when it is supposed a limb struck trigger of Mir. Loomis' gun. Mir Keeler was good citizen, and the accident is deeply deplored.
 In the case of Dr. k. l.. Powers vs. the Ozan Lumber company, Judge Hearn rendered decision at Philadelphia Saturday. Attachment for damages was dissolved while that 1 for amount due was sustained. Re ceivcr for the railroad, asked for by the lumber company, was refused, but injunction granted preventing mortgaging the road. No telling how law suit will finally end. Our i people regret very much the closing down of the big mill, and hope some plan may be devised by which It can resume work. As we go to press learn partial settlement is being effected and planlng mill will begin running at once, and perhaps saw mill soon.
 Glad to know our citizens are nov ing in the matter of repairing Ca rouse lcvee, and bottom at Steele s bridge crossing of same stream. Held meeting Monday evening, at , O clock, appointed committees, etc. On account of absence of our printer we could not be present. One action taken we think inopportune-ap- pointment of committee to ask quorum court of county to levy q one mill tax for road improvement. Think this because county Is already over S20, ,OO0 in debt, and the , mill levy allowed by law is barely enough lo run the county. not to mention paving off debt then to place one mill for roads would put us in worse condition still.
