A BRACE OF ACCIDENTS.

WILLIS INJURED BY A SAW AND
CLARK FALLS FROM AN APPLE
TREE.
william Willis, the S-year-old son Of
John Willis, met with a serious acci-
dent yesterday while at play with some
other boys at the saw mill OF Andrew
Mitchell, on South Third street The
mill had been running and was about to
stop, when young Willis in some way
came in contact with the circular saw
and sustained a fracture Of the thumb
Of the left hand. and the lower arm was
badly lacerated and bruised DR.. 10. IL.
McCabe dressed the injuries and he
fears that II will be necessary to ampu-
tate the thumb. Had the saw been run
ming at even a moderate rate of speed
willis hand would probably have been
severed.
Apples are always tempting to boys,
and 15-year-old Tasker Clark, who lives
with his father, Thomas T. Clark, on
the latters farm, on the road to New
port, is not an exceptional boy. He
climbed tree on his fathers farm yes
terday afternoon and fell. In the fall
he sustained q broken arm and was
otherwise bruised on the face and body
He was brought to DR.. j. j. Blacks Of
fee, where the fractured bone was set

-HE LOVES DROPPING NATURE.

Everyone passing along Delaware
avenue must notice the beautiful flower
beds which adorn the grounds sur
rounding many of the nice homes. "
This remark was dropped by Market
street business man this rlorning. In
one of the yards near Jefferson street
is a large bunch of pampas grass. Left
to itself II would assume a natural and
graceful shape, but the gardener has
staked 1t up with wire until it looks
like big bunch OF dwarfed sugar cane.
In fact, this unnatural condition spoils
the pleasing effect of the otherwise at
tractive yard"

manufacture of dry and water gas me-
ters. Receiving a lucrative offer from
his elder brother, Andrew, he disposed
of this business to him, and returned TO
the manufacture Of stoves.
In few years, however, Washington
Harris again engaged IN the meter bual-
ness witch two partners, under the hrm
name of Harris, Helme a Mcllhenny
This partnership, begun about 1919
LASTED scarcely more than two years.

On the evening of the first of
the present month the spirit of the
guileless, good, kind, affable and
pure Maggie Allen took its flight
to it's home in Heaven, hiding
from a mothers eyes the face of
a loved one whose living smile
was the sunlight of her existence.
Humble and winsome in manners,
none knew her but to love her.
She always had a kind word and
pleasant smile for all she met.
We never saw a face in death more
radiant with the love of God, and
with a smile she seemed TO well
come death, but to her
There is no death, the stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in Heavens jewelled crown
They shine forever more.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal Spirits tread,
For all the boundless universe
Is life-there are no dead
The light that ~gladdened her
widowed mothers heart has been
transferred to Paradise, where vine
wreathed bowers kiss with loving
breath the blushing petals of flow
ers that live in everlasting beauty
and fragrance, and where night is
hung to sleep in the murmur of
the lulling tides of the River of
Life. How blcst the righteous
when they diel Now, Maggie,
you can walk the golden streets,
see the jasper wall, hear the angel
choir, and that blessed Saviour
you SO loved on earth, and who
sustained you through all your
Affections, you can now see and
praise through all eternity. Blessed
thought, we leave you in the hands
of one who doeth all things we'll.
All our people were good and
kind to the distressed family, for
we haye the best people in the
world, and we dislike to speak in
dividually of any one, but Mr..
William Flowers and family de-
serve special notice for their care
and Christian attention before and
after Maggie's death. May they
be amply rewarded here and when
life's ftful fever is over hear the
welcome plaudit, center thou into
the joys of thy Lord"
