lance for same he wrote, The work

A NARROW EsCAPE.-A little girl OF
Mr.. w. /. Stallings narrowly escaped
beil- burned last Saturday. Her
clothing caught fire, and but for the
fact that she was clad in wooden goods
she doubtless would have been badly
burned.
! PAID HEM.-Mr E. w. Hvman in
serted an advertisement in the extra
sheet which THE DEMOCRAT is running,
and in day or two afterwards he told
us that his adj. had been the means OF

it is, Verbum sap.
