While the Ayers & Morrow threshina
machine was in operation Monday on
the George Behler farm an explosion
occurred in the separator which set fire
to the straw passing through the ma.
chine. The separator was kept runs
ming and the burning straw was carried
out on the stacker, where by cool work
and quick action the fire was extin>
guished before it got beyond control.
Mr.. Ayers believes the explosion was
caused by some one maliciously plac>
ing powder in a sheaf Of wheat, and
this opinion is held by others who we're
around the machine at the time. 1t
seems hardly possible that there is a
person in the country who would stoop
to a trick of the kind, but If there is it
is fortunate for him that his identity

SERIOUS

On Thursday last, Charles, the IA
year old son of Albert Hornecker, met
with an accident of a very serious ma
ture. The boy was out rabbit hunting
and in crawling through a fence the
hammer Of his 20 caliber rifle caught
on a fence rail and discharged the gun,
hitting the boy. DR.. Schuelke was at
once summoned and upon examination
it was found that the bullet had enter,
ed the boys left breast one inch below
the nipple and ranged upward and in>
ward, lodging in the shoulder blade,
where it could be felt with the probe.
The track of the ball is about eight
inches long and passes through the
left lung, missing by about one halt
an inch the heart. The injury is a seri,
GUS n and some days must elapse
before the surgeon can state positively
as to the outcome.-Lander Noun.

E. T. Payton, travelling correspond.
ent OF the Denver Republican, arrived
In Rawlins Monday. having come in
via Lander on horseback from a trip
through the Big Horn basin country.
In conversation Mr.. Payton said that
the new town which was recently plat,
ted near the Big Horn hot springs is
enjoying quite a boom. The old town
OF Thermopolis which vas situated five
miles distant has been moved down to
the new town. The new town Is on
u~nsurveyed government land, and lots
will cost actual settlers not to exceed
SIT. Each settler is entitled to two
lots. Families have moved in from
Lander, Casper, Sheridan, Buffalo and
smaller towns in this state, and men,
some of whom brought their families.
have been there from south Dakota,
Nebraska, Colorado, Arkansas, Cali
fornia and Minnesota, and have located
lots. Many new buildings are under
way, and scarcely m is left in the old
town. Most of the new buildings are
Of stone and logs. The nearest saw
mill is so miles distant, and the nearest
lumber yard 90 miles away. However
conditions will sooon change. L. Am,
oretti. n of the founders off Lander
and president of the First National
bank OF that place, arrived at the new
town a few days Ago., and already has a
bank in operation. Mr.. Amoretti will
also start a lumber yard. and is talk
ing of an electric light plant. the cost
of which will be comparatively light,
he says, on account Of the great water
power in close proximity to the town.
Seven houndred lots have been survey,
ed. and one-third OF them are now To-
Gated. For years many ranchmen of
northern Wyoming have annually Wis
tied these hot springs with their fami-
lies, and now that a town has been laid
out, a number have left their ranches
and moved in.-Rawlins Republican.

Our school prospects are not as fiat
tering as we would have them, so to
speak.
Several of our good citizens are on
the anxious seat, looking over the pie
counter to see which way the postof-

Many of our people attended the
Pearl River Baptist Association which
met with the Pleasant Hill church, 3
miles east of this city last Saturday.
Benjamin Bullock, formerly of Mon.
ticello, has moved to our city and has
bought out the Wylie Prestridge store
house and will soon have same filled
with new goods.
Luck or no luck. live or die, sink or

thanks to Mrs. Carroll for that nice
lot of turnip seed. She says her hus-
band is more calm and serene in win
ter when he has plenty of greens and

At the recent protracted meeting at
the Baptist church Rev. Mr.. Lowe
made lasting impressions on the hearts
of our people by the very able manner
in which he eXpounded the scriptures.
Three by letter and seven by baptism
were the results of the meeting.
One day last week Mrs. Ted Mason
and Mrs. Lee, of Wellman, drove out
to our city and on their return home
near the residence of Rev. j. A. Scar
borough their horse became frighten-

seriously injuring Mrs. Lee and com
pletely wrecking the buggy. The Ia
dies were taken charge of by the fami-

NERVOUS AND IRRITABLE,

This describes condition that is common to
both sexes and is the result Of imperfect diges-
ton and liver disorders. The nerves are weak.
the blood deficient in yitalzing and nerve nour-
iShing properties and the excretory organs are
clogged up with impurities. The remedy Is a
thorough oyerhaung of the body with reliable
system tonic. PRlCkLY ASH BITTERS is es-
pecially appropriate in such disorders because
of its fourfold curative effect. 1t strengthens
and regulates the liver, heals the Kidneys stimu-
lates the stomach and digestion and opens the
sewers of the body so that p0isons and obs true
tons are removed through the bowels. Gives
strength to the nerves, increases the vital ener-
gy, improves the appetite, and contributes that
ease of mind and body enjoyed only by those in
health. Sold by c. f. Grafton, Special Agent

Mr.. VIM. J. Dunaway, of Southeast
Lincoln, whose picture appears above,
is the gentleman who was awarded by
the committee the first premium of
Storm side harrow, offered by The
LEADER to the farmer who could make
the best showing as farmer who
raises his own supplies at home. Mr..
Dunaway bought land in the woods on
credit IL years ago and cleared and
settled it. Has since paid for it from
products raised on farm, and raised
enough corn, meat, molasses and pota-
toes meanwhile for home supply. Has
also raised an abundance of vegeta-
bles, fruit, milk, butter and poultry.
Has also raised a few cattle to sell
nearly every year and has good sup
ply on hand. He is now out of debt
and has something ahead.
VIM. j, Dunaway was born Jan. IL,
1861, in Pike county; is son of Pink
ney Dunaway, grand son of Perley
Dunaway, who lived in Pike county 80
years, and nephew of DR.. j. w.
Thornhill. His father was killed in
the Confederate war in 1863, and he
has no recollection of ever having
seen him. He never had the privilege
of going to school to amount to any
thing and knew nothing but work un-
til he was Is, when he was thrown on
his own resources with no "incum-
brance" but "pony horse" He work
ed one year for wages and the first suit
of store clothes he ever wore he bought
with his own earnings when he was 10
years of age. For four years he titled
the soil and then married daughter
of j. A. Price, of Lincoln county, his
father-in-law helping him to build his
house when he settled in the woods.
He lives ON the Summit and Monticel-
10 road near the Pike and Lincoln line.
When work time comes he doesn't con-
suit feelings, but goes at it in earnest.
He is a peaceful citizen and kind
neighbor, and always ready to help
those in need. His wife nearly clothes
the family selling chickens and eggs.
He has four living children. The ex-
tent of his cotton crop is usually 8
bales a year.

In South Carolina persons wishing

says: ave have no statute in our

sacred ordinance is as free to be enter
ed upon as the springs Of pure water
to drink. l might say in this connec-
ton, too, that we have no divorce law
in South Carolina. The State consti-
tuition forbids it for any cause. Our
people seem to have always believed
that what God hath joined together
