The Augusta Eagle tells a story of the
narrow escape from drowning Of a
seven-year-old daughter of Chester

from the town of Forest, in this county,
few weeks since While driving cattle
the little girl stepped upon the covering
of a well in the field, which not having
been placed right. tipped over under her
and let her down into the well. There
was twelve feet of water in it, But
luckily the bucket was down and the
rope was tied tight to a post So the
little one managed to climb the rope and
get out, leaving her little whip broken
and her hat in the we'll 1t was a mar
row escape, but an escape depending
largely on the little girls pluck and
presence of mind

Sheep Shearing by Electricity.

The Madison Journal says the new
electrical apparatus at the state univer-
sity farm for shearing sheep has been
put into general operation. 1t is a com
paratively simple machine nothing but
a big hair-clipper worked by flexible
shaft, which is run under sleeps coat
just as barber mows off head of hair.
The whole outfit costs only $25, and it
only takes half an hour to learn to use
it. But though it is so simple and cheap,
il is a vast improvement over the old
method of hand clipping. One man can
easily shear forty sheep day W; th it, as
against twenty before, and that ever so
much easier

THE NEWT MAYOR.

Mr.. Herman Myers will be the next
Mayor of Savannah. The people so decid-
ed yesterday by a substantial majority.
The campaign was a short one and has
not we believe, left much bitterness in the
minds of the opposing factions. 1t is GER
tainly to be hoped thatlit has not. 1t IS
important that the people should act in
harmony for the citys prosperity.
There is every reason to think that Mr..
Myers will give the city a good admins
tration. He has the ability to do so, and
no one doubts that his purposes are in the
right direction He appreciates the com
pliment that the people have paid him in
electing him again, and he will disappoint
his friends greatly if he fails to show
himself in every way worthy of the con-
fidence they have reposed in him. The
experience he has had as the head of the
municipal government will assist him
greatly in avoiding mistakes.
In order to have the cordial support of
all who seek only the welfare of the city he
has but to follow the course his conscience
and his judgment dictate. There will be no
disposition to critjcise for the sake OF
criticising. There will no doubt, be hon
est differences of opinion on public ques-
tons, but such differences are to be in
vited rather than discouraged. What IS
wanted is an administration that FAIR
minded men Will approve Let Mr.. Myers
give the city an administration of that
kind, and The people will have no cause TO
regret their action of yesterday, and he
viii have his reward in the knowledge that
he is a faithful public servant. MIR. Myers
will have the support of a very good board
of aldermen.
