L. C. Long met with a painful &C
cident Wednesday morning. He had
been to his son-in-law's, P. A .Howards
and was returning to his home with
his horse and buggy and was accom-
panied by his daughter, Mrs. Howard
and her little boy. Mr.. Howard was
following them with a team and
sleigh and had his little boy in the
sleigh with him, his team became
frightened and started to run and
overturned the sleigh and dashed in
to the buggy of Mr.. Longs and
threw him out. He received a bad
cash On the side of his head besides
being otherwise bruised and the lit
tie, child of Mr.. Towards had several
fingers broken. DR.. Sullivan was
telegraphed for to look after their in
iuries. Little Paul, who was in the
buggy with his mother and Mr.. Long,
had one of his fingers nearly cut off
by one of the horses stepping on him.
DR., Sullivan was obliged to amputate
it as it was nearly severed. The cut
on Mr.. Longs head required good
ly number of stitches to close up the
wound and it is not believed that the
other injuries are very severe. Mrs.
Howard escaped with but few bruises
and bad scar and it is a miracle
how any of them escaped without
more serious injuries.-Magnolia Ad.

creameries in Minnesota, more than
one half being established in thelpast
two years. In his address, referring
to the fact that last summer cream
cry butter sold in New York at thir-
teen cents, the president advised that
June butter be shipped abroad as
soon as possible, instead of being
held in storage and afterwards used
to depress the market. The ample
legislation furnished by the state to
encourage the dairy business was
upon favorably and in
addition it was suggested that pro,
vision be made for inspection and
