The post-masters think it is a
dreadful thing that the veterans have
an eye on them for the purpose of re-
porting them to the Cleveland adj
ministration, but the post masters
did not think it was dreadful when
they were reporting veterans to
Washington, and having their pen
siops taken from them or having their
pension reduced. The post masters
thought it Was good thing to play
spy on the veterans, but ihey swear
at veterans when they propose to re-
turn the compliment and report the
post-masters.
Mr.. Finley Brannen OF Milford
township has a Japanese pumpkin
that he highly prizes for table and
lpie purposes. This season one OF
the vines produced freak pumpkin
slmost equa!ing the human freak OF
the Siamese twins, about whom SO
much was said and written some
years ago. Mr.. Brannen's Japanese
pumpkins are Of the long necked kind,
and the freak that grew in his gar.
den were two distinct, long-recked
pumpkins, united along the back
their entire length of Is inches.
What process of nature caused the
two pumpkins to place their backs
one against the other, and grow TO.
gether by very slender union to
maturity, is past finding ont. The
pun pkins are curiosity.
Ga dark night recently an scci-
dent overlook MIR. Henry ScholI and
Mr. ]. H. Neely at Toner'S rock
along the canal between this place
| and Port Royal whereby the two cit
izens might have been killed. How
it comes that they were not killed or
hurt is one Of the unexplainable
things that people explain by saying
Providence protected them. They
had been to Spruce Hill attending 8
democratic meeting and were tha.
near home when suddenly the buggy
inclined to the left side. MIR. Schoil
who Was driving his own first rate
animal quickly pulled tho beast to
the right. He could not see. It
was ns dark as looking into an ink
bottle. The next instant the animal
seemed to strike something, but
whether it was telephone pole or
the railing on the lower side Of the
road they DO not know, and theu,
quicker than man can think it,
horae and buggy seemed. to drop
from under them, and thay were
hurled around and around and Lit On
the soft slope of the hill and rolled
down sixty feet bsfore they stopped.
Nj. Scholl found himself lodged
against tho horse and buggy, which
lay n tangled mass sgainst slight
obstruction on the SID. of the hill.
Mr.. Naely wss free of the wreck, but
not Ear away. It was SO da,k that
the nisn could not see each other:
could not see the wrecked buggy,
and horse that lay under it, bat fort
unately away up the hill side one
hundred feet away there was light
and friends, and they were getting
ready TO come down. The light was
a lantern in the hands Of party OF
&ifiiiatcwn people, who had aiso
been 10 the meeting at Spruce Hill
They We're hardware merchant Nc
Ckn.ie, dry goods merchant Ellis,
ora.cr Berry, jeweilsr Sweger, drug
gist Crawford, Sheriff Calhoun and
son. aud Squire Patterson. They
| were in carriages following Mr.
Schoil and 1;r. Neaiy, and heard
them go over the bank, but they
could not see. The only one of their
senses that WAS OF use to them wss
tbGb OF hearing, and when orator
Nicely and his business friend Scholl
shouted back a response, eve are not
hurt" someone sjseulsted ".hank
Godl Wen be down with the lantern. y
Ii was a lantern that someone OF the
party had the foresight to borrow be-
fore they left Spruce Hill for home
and if it had not been for tns lantern
Scho.l would have lost his mare. The
buggy lay on top OF the beast and a
hind wheel lay on her head, and a
spoke Of the wheel was forced into
her mouth in auch a way that che
could scarcely breath. BAD they
been compelled to go for light TO
PORT Royal or to the nearest farm
! house, the beast would have died for
want Of breath during their absence,
but as it Was the wreckaga OF tie
buggy was lifted of the msre, and
she sprang to her feet and was not
hart in any wey. Taken all IN al, it
Hss . remarkable accident that no In
jury was done except to the buggy,
and tho railing along the side of the
road, which was broken down the
length OF several panels.
THE SITUATION,
Almost half the democratic party
