Wier Sanford, OF Twentieth street,
mployed at Arbenz's South Side chair
factory, caught his left hand in a ma
chine at the works, yesterday afternoon,
and had four fingers terrible crushed.
II gasat first thought his hand had
been ground off, so proiusely did the
blood now. Mr.. Sanford vas taken to
DR.. Walden's office, at 29l9 Wood
street, and the injuries were dressed,
twenty stitches being required to sew
up the cut flesh. 1t is probable the
middle finger and possibly another will
have to be amputated.

Miss Nellie E. Whitney, who is now at
the great exposition in Chicago, writes I'M
der date of Aug. IS:
"No one should stay away on account of
the crowds or because they think they can
not stay long enough to pay. There was
plenty of room for the 151 900 people in
attendance yesterday without crowding.
and two or three days is long enough to
pay. If one can come for month and ex-
anime things in leisurely manner, so
much the better. If not, less time will do
very nicely. Indeed unless one is very
strong, l think four days better than
week. A general idea of the contents of
the buildings can be obtained in that time.
and week of constant sightseeing is
more than many people can endure. The
expense can be made as much as one likes.
but from 50 to s. per day is a very fair al
lowance.
Zone of the most noticeable things about
the fair Is that nowhere is any thin gcoarse,
rude, or in any way offensive, to be seen or
heard. This may be partly explained by
the fact that the fair is of too high grade
to attract the rough and rowdy element,
and this same fact may have more TO do
with the failure of the Sunday opening
than any religious prejudice or belief.
Many who could only attend the fair Sun
days were the ones who did not care to at
tend it at all.
Many of the western and southern state
buildings contain in themselves material
for fair. The exhibits of woods, fruits,
grains, minerals, ETC., are perfectly Won
derful, showing so much energy, ingenuity
and artistic ability that one is filled with
admiration for the people as well as the re-
sources of these states. Their exhibits in
the main buildings are equally wonderful;
those from Washington, California and
Colorado being especially fine, although
the Dakotas, Iowa. Louisiana, Illinois and
others follow closely after. Massachusetts,
prides itself upon its schools and vet the
school-work shown does not in any way
compare with that of many of the western
states. The New Hampshire building,
though only costing $l1 900, is remarkg-
bly, well suited to the state. Its beautiful
representations of White Mountain seen
cry will certainly bring it many visitors in
future years. Vermont's artistic building
loses much of its beauty from being crowd
ed between the more imposing structures
of Maine and Massachusetts. Its scanty
contents will hardly lead to there being
less deserted farms in the state than at
present. A Columbian guard is resposible
for the statement that there was more
fraud in the construction of this building
than in any other on the grounds, it being
so poorly built that il was afterward nee

" three per cent of our entire population.
George II. De Patron, whose death oc-

sufferer from consumption ever since he
came from Buffalo in February. He was a
foster son of Mrs. Lucy Ball and was a

who knew him. He leaves wife and
three sisters besides large circle of other
friends to mourn his loss.
Mrs. d. G. Ball, who died Aug. 1, was a
lifelong resident of Athens. She was one
of family of Ia children. Her parents
were Jonathan and Phebe NawTence) Per-
ham, who were among the early settlers of
the town. Mrs. Ball was born Oct. 20,
1916. In 1910 she was married to Dustin
G. Ball. Five children were born to them
"a son and four daughters, three of whom
are living Mr.. Ball died in 1875. The
death of Mrs. Ball removes another link
connecting the present with the past. She
had been faithful member of the Metho'
dist church for over so years, and she pos
sessed many of those virtues which win
respect and admiration. She was familiar
ly known as "Aunt Lucy" and her coun
sci was often sought in times of sickness
and trouble. Affection for her was shown
by many floral offerings at the funeral
The burial was in the family lot in the Val
ley cemetery. c~. -. s-. ...
