than half what 1t should have been
owing to the drouth.

business this week.
Qulte an accident occurred be-
tween Deer Park and this place
Saturday evening. Mr.. Chas. Will
son, IT. company with Mr.. Henry
Smith, had been to Deer Park and
Oakland and on their return their
horses got frightened and started to
run. The wagon became uncoupled
and both were thrown out and run
over. Fortunately Smith escaped
with but little injury but 1t is
thought Mr.. Wilson's arm is out of
place. The horses ran for distance
of one mile or more when they were
caught near Mr.. Chadderton's.
Miss Julia Stanton, of Oakland,

ing Mr.. Bishops absence.
An enjoyable little hop was given
at Mr.. Males few evenings ago;
also the young folks had dance
here. in the ball room Saturday
night. 1t was the arrangement to
have had it at the platform IN Beck
mans grove but owing to severe
rain storm in the evening the place
named was selected.
Thos. McCue has accepted a po-
stion here as track foreman. We
wish him success IN his new under
taking and have not the least doubt
but that he will prove "a good man

were not disappointed.

spent last Sunday at this place the
guest of his father-in-law, Mr.. Jno.
Carroll. He returned to the city
on Monday. His wife and one child
will remain here for some time.
We are sorry to note the death of
MIR. Siah Walters residing near
Deep Greek, who died Saturday
evening about six o'clock. Mr..
Walters visited this place only two
weeks ago. We sympathize with
the family and friends in this their
great bereavement but hope their
loss will be his gain.
Jas. B. Friend, of Mutton Hol-
low, was out driving a few days ago.
His team ran away throwing him
out and breaking his arm.

Mutton Hollow, while chopping

big toe off.
