tanning several hives OF bees of italian an
cestry was s1de-tracked in the freight yard,
and when the door was opened II was dlScOV-
cred that some Of the hives had been upset in
transit. The little imported cusses were red
hot at being thus rudely disturbed, and were
spelling for o fight. The first negro that
went into the car came out in just three sec
onds, like a dog out Of a badger barrel His
hands were firmly claSped on his pistol
pocket as he struck a lOpe for the ice factory
near by. About 3,7s5 OF the vicious foreigners
formed a skiTmish line around the car, where
upon the crowd backed TO a reasonable dis
lance ana gave Jnem all the room they
wanted. Later in the dav the bees went into
executive session inside the car after which
the door was closed and the enemy captured.
Waynesboro True Citizen: W. II. Hatfield,
an aged farmer who resides on Capt. Ridge
ly's farm, near Drone postoffce, was found
by his son last Sunday morning unconscious,
in pond, short distance from his home,
about 100 yards from the road. bruised about
the head and his skull fractured. He was car
ried home and Or. Miner summoned. When
he returned to consciousness he could give no
explanation Of IL and does not know how il
occurred. AS Mr.. Hatfield is well liked in
the community and no one appearing to have
a grudRe against him, his friends are at a loss
for q reason for any one attempting to take
his life. Robbery could not have been the
object, as his money was found in his pocket
and his packages unframed Mr. Hatfield is
getting along as well as possible under the
circumstances, but his injuries are very seri-
Gus If not fatal.
