The uncompromising vigor with
which Solicitor Henry represents the
State is becoming notable. The

ness of his punishments. On Monday,

Good Lithia Water.
Some months ago, a party of pros
pectors bored into Nanny Mountain
with diamond drill in search of de-
sirable minerals. Just how deep the
projectors went, or what they found,
has never been made public ; but of
late it has developed that issuing
from the hole made by the drill, there
is bold stream Of water. The water
is said to be a splendid quality of
lithia, and number of people living
in the neighborhood claim to have
been cured of various long standing
physical troubles by its use. Possibly
the mountain may some day become
the site of big hotel.
A Close Call.
Mr.. VIM. Dobson, who lives two
miles north of Yorkville, had what
might very properly be called a close
call last week. While repairing a
grain cradle, he accidentally cut his
hand on piece of wire. The wound
seemed trifiing at first but after
while his hand began to swell up and
the situation grew serious. He came
to see DR.. Miles Walker. The doctor
bound up the wound as carefully as
possible but Notwithstanding this, the
pain continued to grow more unbeara-
BILE. Celluritis set in, and DR.. Walker
deemed it desirable to inject carbolic
acid, which gave speedy relief, and no
doubt prevented the loss of an arm, or
possibly worse. Mr.. Dobson is now
attending to his duties on the grand
jury.
