A NARROW ESCAPE.
Jim wilkins Comes Very Near Being
Killed-Thrown From q Buggy
on His Head.

Quite q damper was thrown over
the crowd at the Fair Grounds yes
terday afternoon by the report thai
Jas. Wilkins, one of the firm of NJ.
Blum & Co., and one of Mexico's
most popular and worthy young
men, had been killed. Upon in
vestigatlon it was found that he
had not been killed but was seri-
ously if not fatally injured. While
in a buggy with Bob Morris, near
the depot, the horse took fright
and ran off. Bob. jumped out and
Jim was thrown out on his head
and the buggy, which belonged TO
Bob, was smashed to splinters.
Wilkins fell on his head, which
was seriously hurt. It was some
hours before he became conscious.
1t is thought that his injuries are
not fatal. When he became "a.
tionaI he was taken to his room at
Mr.. Moore's, in West Mexico,
where he is resting easily at this
writing. No young man in Mex
leo has more friends that MI.

somewhat like bricks. The pro-
ceeds from the sale of these bricks
are to be used for the building of
the ex-Confederate Home. These

which he is now offering for sale.

As years in the p%enitentiary at Her

Mr.. McIntire was the court STEM
ographer in the trial. The letter
says:
"The sherif's intention was to
take Crabtree to Jefferson on the
same train you went on, but when
he went to the Jail to get him, he
found him in bed, and the bed
covered with blood. He had cut
an artery on his arm, and was al
ready s~enseless when the sheriff
found him, but, a physician was
called right away and he recovered
in a short time. He looked very
pale and seemed to be awfully
weak, but they took him just the
same. He said he would commit
suicide before he would stay in
there 45 years."

He said apologetically that he was
sorry, but that he had nothing less
than half a dollar.

The three men opened their eyes,

Observation-Disclosures.
Hram m~,uieafaH

This means the fellows that pick
at, hinder, blacken, pull down every
thing that shows signs of prosperity;
the fellows that smudge every repu-
tation that shows for good. IF
Smith runs his wheelbarrow faster
than usual, the denigrator whispers
that Smith has some bad motive
and is not so good a man as he APP
pears; no man would push a Wheel
barrow so fast unless he has a sell
fish motive. The denigrator has
moved so slow all his life that any
accelerated motion seems a personal
rebuke. The kickers and denigrat-
ors are first cousins; they join hands
and voice ON all occasions. Should
any person or enterprise prosper,
"united they stand" to pull it down
or check its rise. They can pull
down in a day more than a town
can build in a year. The kicker
family is more energetic than the
~denigrators. While they do moth
ing for themselves, they do keep
their neighbors from the pleasures
of success. Their family motto, to
which they point with pride. is
"The old grey horse came from Jer-
usalem; kicked so hard they put
him in a museum They are such
uniformly good kickers that no
choice could be made for exhibition.
1t would be difficult to award a prize
to the best kicker. But the kickers
and denigrators lack philosophic OF
economic instincts. Their error lies
in believing that the prosperity OF
others hurts them. The good of a
community is an aggregate of indi-
vidual good; every man that helps
himself, helps the community. II
the denigrators would imagine a
town in which everyone was pros.
porous, they would see the error Of
their way. But the kickers are only
happy when kicking. May the day
come when they will kick them.

The English Language.

The singular and various senses
of words in the English language
are seen in the following words
and their meanings:
A sleeper is one who sleeps. A
sleeper is that in which the sleeper
sleeps. A sleeper is that on which
the sleeper runs while the sleeper
sleeps. Therefore while the sleep
er sleeps in the sleeper, the Sleep
er carries the sleeper over the
sleeper under the sleeper until the
sleeper which carries the sleeper
jumps the sleeper and wakes the
sleeper in the sleeper by striking
the sleeper on the sleeper, and
there is no longer any sleeper
sleeping in the sleeper on the
sleeper.

I would say to all: Use your

day by day as a pearl of great
