horses and two men would have
gone over bank Of about 30ft, and
have been seriously II not fatally
injured. Mr.. Woods and Mr..
Keller are thankful that they are
still among the living. The neigh
bors got other horses and got them
safe on their way again. The
trustees were notified and they met
on Saturday and made arrange.
ments for the place to be fixed and
a fill to be made which will be done
this week. Charley Calvert has
secured the contract to make the
Gil. This should have been done
several years ago, but fortunately
there has been no one hurt. The
trustees have come to the conclus-
ion IL had better be fixed before
there are any lives lost. 1t is a
disgrace to old Laurel to have such
| places in the road when we have
money to fix them. If the parties
that are elected won't do anything
let the people elect some one that
will, and stop such accidents that
may happen.
Last Sunday night after meeting
there was quite an exciting scene.
A couple of young men brought
their best girls up to church and
whenthey started for home, as they
made the turn to the road their
buggy turned up side down and
they picked themselves off of the
ground but none Of them were hurt.
They all got in the buggy again
and went on their way rejoicing,
being thankful that no more dam.
age was done. The harness was
broken up little. Boys take two
huggys next time when there is so
many of you to go and avoid acci-
dents.
Our school is progressing nicely
