Pic MICS. -Pic-nics this season
with the exception of the 4th of July
have not been we'll attended. That
of the Episcopal Sunday School on
Wednesday was meagerly attended,
the Reformed picnic had a larger
crowd because of the union with the
school of Winchester, and the Kings
Daughters were unfortunate in that
the railroad wanted to charge for the
band members and the band did not
go, therefore the crowd was smaller
than it otherwise would have been.

A BAD CUr.-Flagg, son of
Deputy Collector, r. S. Eichelber-
ger, met with very severe accident
Saturday evening last. He was at
the mill of Mr.. A. Parks, near his
home, and started to run under a
tramway that was braced with rail-
road iron, and not seeing the iron
brace, struck the top of his head,
tearing away the scalp and making a
deep cut four inches long. His
brother brought him to DR.. N. D.
Baker, and with the assistance ofDr.
S. N. Myers, the cash was sewed and
bandaged up. He is now getting on
as we'll as the nature of the wound
will permit. - World.
