Last Sunday an unfortunate accident
happened at Good Hope Church, in Corner
Township. Miss Iva Cook and little
brother were leaving the Church in bug
ey. and the mule which they we're driving,
became frightened and ran away. The

occupants thrown out. Miss Cooks right
arm was terribly bruised and dislocated,
and she sustained other injuries. While
her injuries are quite painful, they are not
serious, and we hope soon to hear OF her
recovery.
Miss Anna T. Simpson, daughter of the
late Major r. f. Simpson, died at the resi-

in Pendleton. S. c., April 2Sth, 1891. She
was about forty years of age. She had
sistent member of the Methodist Church.
Her afflicsions, which had been of long
standing, grew to be more severe, and six
months before her death it was certain
that the worst was coming. She wac con.
scious of her approaching dissolution, but
had no fears, and even desired to depart.
In referring to the Cumberland Gap
Railroad, the Easley Democrat says:
"We have always been of the opinion that
Anderson was one of the most important
points in this State for "Old Tumblin" to
touch, and that Anderson could not well
afford to let it pass around her. Now II
she is in earnest, which we don't doubt,
there will be lively railroad times ahead.
Let Easley and Piokens keep their eyes
wideopen and be ready to take advantage
OF any new development that might be
any advantage to them. There IS no tell
ing what may happen"
