AS usual, tho unexpected happens.
AS tev. Il. w. Bedcnbaugh was com
ing to town in his onc-horsc wagon
driving his family horse, "Gus," just Us
he got even with Schumpcrt a. Testers
store the bolt came out of the single
tree and it dropped down, hitting him
on the legs, causing him to make IL
break down the street. Mr.. Bcdon-
baugh was trying to guide him to keep
him from running into buggy just in
front Of him containing two ladies, and
in his efforts to save them he pulled
him so very hard to the right that the
abrupt turn threw him out of the
wagon, seat, body and all, and painful
ly, if not seriously, hurt him. lie was
carried into Birgc's store and DR..
Hunter was summoned and began
work on him within ten minutes after
he was hurt. He was severely bruised
up, and the shock was something fear
full. The doctor said he could not
have stood II much more severe one, as
his pulse dropped to 30 pulsations.
After working ii him for u couple
hours he got much easier, and late that
evening he was carried on his bed to
the home OF Mr.. w. a. Mosclcy and
remained there until Sunday morning,
when he was loaded with his bed on IL
wagon and carried to his own home.
His external injuries are not so great
and his internal injuries cannot be de-
tcrmined yet. Hc was resting fairly
easy this morning, and the doctor
thinks that he will be around in few
days. He is still unable to help him
self or turn over without assistance.
Hc was driving his trusty family horse
and never dreamed that Gus would
run away, and Of course he got the
start Of him. He would have been
able to control him had not the buggy
been in front OF him.
Mr.. O. i. Harris is suffering from
the effects Of a nail He was iE q
hurry and stcppc> on it and was pain
fully hurt. When he walks now he
rides.
MIR. G. 6. Lame who has been COM
planning for some days will'go to Glcnn's
and rccupcratc for q couple weeks.
Mr.. w. u. Harmon will take his place
ut Hawkins Bros. during his stay. We
wish him pleasant time, much health
and speedy return.
We would like to suggest to the bust
ness men OF Prosperity that they take
q day off, have barbecue and get
acquainted with one another. What
say you gentlemen? Select day in
August and let every house close up
and go up to tho Spence place AMI Lave
barbecue at the spring. We believe
that this would be timo and money well
spent. One day in 1865 given to the
