el by a horse yesterday afternoon. The

il Is presumed. he kicked at a. fly and
struck tho boy below the knee cutting a
deep cash I'm the flesh. 10 was a wonder

lie was taken TO his home az No. 1915
cambridge street. Or. T.. r. Rucker was

IN the wound.
A RIGHTEOUS KICK.
The people of this city are long suf-
ferlng people. and &C. IS seldom that they
kick but they are becoming tired of
drinking the essence of old Fluvanna-
known 10 the Water Commissioners or
Manchester under the misnomer OF water.
The article is now being served 90 the
public is not thing OF beauty and a
JOY forever. and some means ought 70 oe
made TO give purer water
When the water tank was placed IN
position II was claimed that a flterer was
put In that f. would always be the means
OF the water takers having clear water.
This was undoubtedly a mistake. for the
muddy LIQUID that is now being served
is a disgrace and menace TO the health
Of the citizens.
A young man remarked yesterday mat
the public fountain opposite the Masonic
Tomple had frozen mp. or course ne was
exacecrating. but the mud from the
water had filed the pipes and the water
had ceased % flow. Something should ne
done 20 give the people better and clearer
water. ,,-.,r,,.r,
