Mrs Elizabeth Wade, of Monon-
gala county has been the guest of
friends here for several days.
A slight wreck occurred on the K.
M. & P. r. r. last Saturday morning
near Hoult. 1t was caused by some
piping rolling off Of a car, part of it
going on the track. which resulted in
several cars being derailed. The
trains were delayed for several hours.
The Messrs. Collins who have been
engaged in the real estate business in
this place for scme time, were arrest
ed last week on a warrant from Cum
berland, Md, charging them with par
ticipating in fraud of some kind in
that city They went with the of
ficers to Maryland without the formal
ity OF requisition and are now in the
custody Of the law at that place. We
have been unable to ascertain the
exact charge and hope there is some
mistake about it. There has not been
the least complaint, SO far as we have
heard OF their manner of doing bust
ness since they came here.
