The little 3-year.old son of J. NJ
Coons. jeweler. met with painful
and serious accident last Monday
evening. During the absence of his
mother. the little fellow fell backward
into the open fireplace. His screams
attracted her. and when she entered the
room the little fellows head was rest
ing on the backlog. The child was
badly burned on back of his head and
side. Handy remedies were applied.
ana although the burns are very bad it
Is hoped not hingserl0uS will result,
j. X. Chisenhall. who lives in the
northern part of town, is confined to
his bed with dropsy. He is in critical
condition, aud ID in destitute crcum-
stances. He has wife and four small
children land We are informed that
these little ones are barefoOted, and
perhaps hungry. They are worthy OBJ
jects of charity. They need physi-
clan. food ana clothing. In this con-
nect:on. we would suggest that the or
ganiZation known as the United Chari-
ties be revived. Such AN organization
can do lot of good, aud will not be
imposed upon if properly Differed.

Hon. III. +. Robson and Mr.. p.
r. Andrews, candidates for Prose-
cutting Attorney, both of Augusta,
reached an agreement recently to
submit their further continuance
in the race to a vote Of the citizens
of the township in which they (the
candidates. reside. This was done,
and on Saturday the vote was
taken, resulting in a victory for
Mr.. Robson by majority of Is.
This eliminates Mr. Andrews, and so
far the contest lies between Robson
and Macon, of Phillips. We con-
graduate Fletcher upon his VIC
tory, and wish him success in the
end.
