When crossing Back Greek at Don
a.dson's Ford, Sunday morning, the
horse attached to Mr.. Ellie Fink's
sleigh fell down, throwing Mr.. Fink
Into the water. He sustained no in
jjuries but got thorough wetting. Mrs,

Messrs. VIM. Sayille and Rod john
son were the guests Of Mr.. Adron
johnson last week, near little George
town. Mr.. johnson sustained quite a
floss recently. The high winds blew
nearly all of the roof from Of his barn.
That seems to be an unlucky locality.
While Mr.. John Pearrel lived on the
place the barn burned down and last
spring Mr.. Johnson's house was con-
sumed.
The party held at Back Bridge last
week will long be remembered in that
locality. Seisementi flowed like water
and when the fun grew fast and furious
there were forty ightsin fifty minutes
and divd the whole nose was let IN
the house but tay-kittle. So say ru-
NOR. They say the banjo picker
started the fun. He was picking away
Sentimental when someone says,
ooh, put that banjo down, you cant
pick a little bit.r II know can't
said Jake, shut id if Ilintend to be
imposed upon.p Now we don't half
4 believe this, for Jake is too good q
fellow.
During one of the high winds, one
night last week, the house on the
property Of DIR. Stone on Back Greek
was discovered to be on fire. Some
neighbors went to the scene Of the
confagration but were too late to put
out the fire. After the house burned
down they left. Shortly after another
blaze illuminated the night This time
it was the crib that was found to be in
a blaze. Parties that were there say
that theremnantso Of wagon, that they
saw standing in the barnyard. was
found amongst the ashes Of the crib
next morning. From the above it looks
as if the buildings had been fred by an
lincendiary. Mr.. Alfred Smith had
moved his family and goods away dur
ing the day and next day, Mr.. John
Vomax, Of Little Georgetown, was to
occupy the promises. This is the sec
ond mysterious fire within! yearNin
