Little Oracle Patterson was knock
ed down and run over Tuesday after
noon by a team and buggy driven by
JesseChristy. 1t was fearedat first that
the child was fatally hurt, as she was
knocked senseless. But fortunately
the injuries have proven to be not
serious. the worst one being q scalp
wound where the pole of the buggy
struck her. The feet of the horses for
tunately missed her and although two
wheels Of the buggy passed over her
little body no serious hurt was done.
The accidentseemed to have been due
solely to Christy's carlessness as ne
swung around the corner driving rap
idly, with loose rein and taking no
care for the safety of the crowd that
was ON the street. Even when he saw
what he had done he did not stop,
but drove on as if he had no interest
in what had happened. A warrant
was issued for his arrest but the Of1ic-
ers have not yet succeeded in finding
him.
During the thunder shower Monday
evening the house occupied by Rev.
J. p. Wright was twice struck by
lightning. The bolts fell almost SIM
ultaneously, zone striking the main
building and the other the shed kitch-
en-. The first bolt bored a hole
through the roof and entered an up
stairs room in which Miss Rose Strain
was sitting, knocking her from her
chair and giving her so great shock
that she was hysterical for some time.
1t did not set fire to anything and did
the building comparatively little dam
age. The second bolt set fire to the
floor of the kitchen. Neighbors were
promptly at hand, however, and put
out the flames before much harm had
been done. 1t is needless to say that
everybody in the neighborhOOd was
pretty badly "shOok up"
B. wheel and Robert Sims had
a little disagreement Tuesday as q re-
suit of which the former has a sore
place on his head. The report is that
after the Memorial exercises Tuesday
Mr.. wheel, who served in Ashby
Confederate Cavalry during the war,
remarked that the Union soldiers
"were all id horse thieves" Mr..
Sims told him that such talk might
be all right in Virginia but it wasn't
pleasant to hear here. Mr.. Wheel re-
peated the remark, or something SIM
| liar whereupon Mr.. Sims struck him
with his cane, knocking him down
and cutting his head. quite severely.
There were no arrests,-although we
believe there is a city ordinance
which makes it a misdemeanor for q
man to use language to provoke
another man to make an assault.

The fruit and flower show last Mon.
day. did not bring out as many fruits
and flowers as have been shown In
other years, and yet the display was
very creditable. Premiums to the
amount of 500 were paid for flower,
and to the amount of $500 for berries
Nothing so distressing as hacking
