the water at the edge of the lake, where
the banks shelved very steep. offered an
avenue of escape. A. he Was splashing

DuIurH, Sept. 4--Oiiyer Dubois,
French Canadian farmer living on the
ou tskirts of the village of Sandstone was
among the 250 refugees from the stricken
spot He saved his life by jumping into
the bottom Of a dry well, and was one Of
the very few who took such a refuge and
did not find it a grave already dug. HIS
experience was similar in many ways to
that of scores or hundreds of others, but

Dubois was little distance from his home

Some sickness IN our village.
Mr.. Kings little grandson is still
alive. How he lives so longBsix week.
and two days with such fearful gun
shot wound is mystery. Anyone Wis
iting the home of the little sufferer, l
think would have to act Christian like,
benevolent. Doubtless the Lord will
reward Mr.. Allen Smith, Drs. Butler
and Bennett, and w. III. Allen and crew
for their highly appreciated help.
Mrs. v. j. Stamps, Mrs. John Lard,
and Mr.. Henry Lard's children have
been quite sick, but are better.
Mr.. Allen spoke we'll of the footman's
sermon at the Magee school house Sun
day evening.
Rev. w. T. Jordan will preach at Mt.
Moriah, and Rev. DR.. Chambers at the
Magee school house next Sunday at IL
o'clock.
Miss Gertrude Magee, Miss Bonnie,
and Miss Mamie Allen, entered Whit
worth college this week.
Rev. DR.. Hatch will preach here to-
morrow night. Give him full house,
he IS the children's friend.
