GERS of the Santa Fe road came down
ON special train and stopped at lola
to look at our marble quarry and de-
termine whether or not the road could
put in switch, or spur track. The
gentlemen expressed themselves as
surprised to see so fine a quality of
stone, and much pleased with the prog
ress that had been made in developing
the quarry. After nearly an hour
spent in going over the ground Mr..
Robinson assured the Company that
the switch would be built. 1t will
probably be a week or more before the
work can begin, but since it is actual
ly assured this slight delay will make
no difference. Mr.. Robinson spoke in
a very handsome way of the willing
ness of the road to cooperate with us
in all possible ways in the develop
ment of the industry, and pledged his
personal good offices whenever they
could be made available. The outlook
for the Marble Company now looks
brighter than ever before.
Ed. Clarke, a young man about Is
years old, was riding one of John
Wright's horses out of town last Fri
day when he was thrown off i'm some
way and dragged, with his foot in the
stirrup for some distance. The horse
kicked him two or three times in the
face, badly cutting and brusing it, and
in some way his right leg was broken
between the knee and the ankle. The
accident occurred near Dan Fry's
house, and the boy was carried there
and DR.. Fulton sent for. The Doctor
says the fracture of the leg was one of
the worst he ever knew, and fears
that it may result in permanent lame
ness. Ed. Clarke is son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. III. Clarke, and the father and
mother, as well as the son, have the
sympathy of the community in the
terrible accident.

went to party the other day not
thousand miles from here. When re-
freshments were served, she was
swinging, so the hostess thought best
not to call her Immediately. In a few
moments she wandered into tha din
ing room and said Indignantly: "Why
didn't you tell me you were going to
eat?' ~ thought you were enjoying
yourself swinging so didn't interrupt
YOU explained the hostess. 80, but
/ would rather eat than enjoy myself"
said the little girl.

months of any preceding year" Ac-
cording to Mr.. Dibble the rainfall at
lola during this period has been 2i44
