A serious accident happened to
David Il. Lille, who lives four miles
east of EllenbOro, Wednesday Of last
week. He was feeding large. horse
power. corn husker. and in some man.
ner his left hand was caught by the
machine and drawn in nearly To the
elbow, neeessitating amputation of
the arm above the elbow. Mr. Lille
is son-in-lsw of Mrs. Ivey who lives
a short distance south of this city.
The accident was most unfortunate.
Mr.. Lille was testing the merits of
the machine and was caught so unex-
pectedly that he cannot give an ac-
curate account of how it happened.
A horse broke into an old surface
well the other day right in the main
street of Hazel Green near the centre
of the village. The oldest inhabitant
was called upon IN vain to account for
the existence of this well, until Mrs.
j. Milton Chandler was written con-
corning it. She wrote that her hus-
band dug the well in 1912 and as the
village increased in size it became
necessary to cover over the well in
order to widen the street There has
its secret been kept for half century
and the village authorities have again
covered it so that a century may roll
away before it is again discovered
Who viii tell the story thenP
The snow storm, that came our way
last week, although accompanied by an
unusual gale, was of decidedly less
severity here than in other portions of
the state. In Minnesota, Michigan and
Illinois, heavy snow falls accompanied
by terrific gales, are reported. The
vicinity of Red Bud and Chester, Ill,
were visited by cyclone on the 18th,
that did a vast amount of damage. One
portion of the city of Red Bud was
completely demolished, ninetythree
buildings were wrecked and three
people killed, and twenty wounded. In
Dubuque, Ia, the telephone and tele-
graph wires were rendered useless, and
a heavy loss to property is reported in
the city.

L. H. Edwards, esq, of Hazel Green
made us pleasant visit while he was
here in the discharge of his duties on
the Board of Supervisors. With
pleasure he told us of little daughter
that came there three weeks ago to
gladden. him and his estimable wife in
their pleasant home. During his stay
here Mr.. Edwards made his home
with his brother-in- law, Judge Geo.
B. Carter We have always had a
warm place in our heart for Tom ever
since we used to work out the ''grind-
stone'' and .ball of yarn" problems
in Davies's University Arithmetic in
the Hazel Green Academy-but we
won't tell about that, it was so long
ago.
Hazel Green has always been re-
nowned for its good schools and
healthfulness. In evidence of the
latter we give the names and ages of
a few of its citizens: Horace Curtis 90,
Mrs Horace Curtis 80, Mrs. Kaiser
1913, Mrs. Stephens 80, Farmer Ire
ganza SO, Ellis Wayne So, P p Pat
terson 80. Most of these persons are
in good health and quite active. There
are others living in the village and
vicinity who have passed their four
score years but we are, at present,
unable to give all the names. Horace
Curtis is the oldest settle in Grant
County, since he came here the early
part Of May 1927 lie certainly can,
if his feeble health will allow, give
most interesting account of the early
settlement of the lead mines.
