The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1896-08-06


Last week while helping to raise a
barn on his fathers place, Ed. Kidd
was seriously hurt. 1t happened in
this way. The heavy timber he was
using slipped and fell and he only had
time to get his head out of the way
thus letting the full force of the tim
Der fall on his right shoulder. A
board, at the same time, hit him on
the forehead and his elbow got badly
bruised in some way. He was SEN
seless for awhile. He is now getting
along very nicely, but will be without
the use of his right arm for some
time.
Rev. ]. T. Sexton has been at
home here taking rest since the
close of his big meeting in Knoxville
where there were near 200 conver-
sions. Mr.. Sexton leaves this week
to visit great many Of the places
where he has held meetings. On his
return he intends to spend three
months in study if he can get enough
to carry his family through that time.
If every place he has held successful
revivals wall contribute only small
amount he will be able to study the
three months and will be all the more
effective foy it.

Last week at his home near Ellie
Joy, Will, the seven year old son Of
Will A. Coulter, was very severely
hurt. He went to the horse lot to
let the horses out. The flies were
bothering the horses and the minute
the gate was opened they rushed ou'
over the little fellow knocking him
down and tramplng OF him in several
places, one bad place on the stomach
and one on the head. The boy wa.
unconscious for six hours and for {
time it seemed he could not rally, bu
he regained his senses at last and it is
hoped that with good care he will
get alright again.
Frank Hackney, and Mr.. Boring
of Friendsville, were In town Satur
day. Mr.. Hackney has been attend
ing the Medical department Of th'
Ohio State University and has made
quite a record for himself. On til,
4th of July there were thirty-fou
states and five nations represented
by speakers, each presenting th'
! land of their nativity. Mr.. Hackne,
represented Tennessee and was tn,
thlrtith speaker. He captured til,
honNrs of the occasion by making tn,
most eloquent, and forcible speech a
a tribute to his native State. Bloun
county boys make themselves knowr
wherever they go.
Scientists say that flaming meteor
will lombard the earth about Angus
10. The sky will be yeined will
streaks of light ssas the stars shoe
through the atmosphere, but The
-seige will be raised before the me
teoric combatants get within hailinG
distance. Some of the meteors join
, ing in the fusilade may hurl the chip
from their shoulders to the earth
None of the shooters, however, will
come nearer this planent than sew
enty-fve miles, though they ma,
leave a few "reminiscences of thei
visit behind them. We hope none O
our readers will be alarmed and thinl
the world is coming to an end.
