Hadn't Thought Of That.

"Some time ago." says an insurance man,
"a man asked me to accompany him home,
as he had some things there to be insured.
When we arrived at his home he showed
me 100 boxes Of cigars, which he wanted in
sured. There We're 100 cigars in each box,
making 10000 in all, and were valued at ten
cents each, so insured the lot for 81 600.
\ few days ago the man came to me and
asked for the insurance money. You've had
no fire at your house, I replied. No, but
I've smoked them,' said he, and according
to the paper, I am entitled to the money,
as it reads distinctly that if the goods are
consumed by fire money is paid on applica-
tion.' As far as technicalities were con-
cerned he was all right, but knocked him
cold about a minute later by saying, in a
very stern manner: 'All right, sir; you'll
get the money; but, according to your own
confession, will proceed at once to make
charge against you for incendiarism.
We'll, I'll be hanged!' was all he said, and
the room shook violently after he banged
the door, Philadelphia Record.

A Midnight Scare.

The steel tower and tank of the
Marshall water works collapsed one
night and the entire structure, 10 feet
high, fell in one heap. The collapse
was due, no doubt, to the formation of
ice from water trickling through a
hole caused by the tank being pierced
by rifle ball. Three people, sleeping
close by, narrowly escaped, the head
OF one being bruised by falling ice.
The crash was attended by consider
able noise, and many people awoke,
thinking an explosion had occurred.

A Fatal Accident.

Monday afternoon little Wade, the
son of Mr.. Luther Craps, met with
8 fatal accident, while in discharge OF
his duties at the Lexington cotton
mill. Just how and when the accl-
dent occurred is shrouded in mystery
as no one saw it. The concensus of
opinion however is, that while
sweeping the floor of the carding
room he in someway became entan-
gled in the belts and was violently
thrown against the cards. When
found BY the foreman of the spinning
room, he was laying on the floor IN
an unconscious condition, his skull
was fractured in several places and
he was bleeding profusely. Medical
aid was Immediately summoned and
DR.. Hendrix did all he could to re-
lieve the suferings of the little fellow,
but all to no purpose. Death had
already set his seal on the clay tent
ment and that night the immortal
spirit took it's everlasting fight to
that mansion on high not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens. The
remains were inferred at the old
home near Summit. To the grief
stricken parents and sorrowiDg rela-
tives, we extend our heartfelt sympa-
thies.
