rible accident that befell Grady, the
three-year-old son of Mr.. w. L. Sam
ders last September, when the little
fellow, unseen, had wandered out in
field where his father was running a
moving. machine, and his legs were
nearly severed. We are lnow glad to
state, by careful nursing and good
medical attention, the little fellow is
| now walking about the house, his legs
being saved. The leaders of the toes
on one foot are little drawn, but it is
hoped he will soon out grow that and
get the full use of his toes.
| On Thursday morning last, Mr.. B. F.
Davies, of the firm of Rutherford and
Davies, discovered negro man in his
coal house helping himself to coal.
The negro fled on seeing Mr.. Davies,
and left his sack with two big Jumps of
coal in it. No doubt there is a good
deal of this kind of thieving going on.
1t looks as if most negroes will steal,
| regardless of consequences.
Mr.. @. J. Billiard, of near Lost
| Mountain, is one of those progressive,
thrifty farmers that makes hay while
| the sunshines. He hardly ever comes
to'town without bringing something to
| sell. He has been marketing his sor-
ghum and peavine hay which has
brought good prices. His crop of this
forage will bring him about $500 at
present prices.
Messrs. Sam Grogan, Henry Love,
Will EuPre and Ed DuPre returned
Thursday morning from a two days
hunt in Cherokee county, bringing
with them eighty cartridges, which
they had killed. Our friend, Grogan.
remembered us with some of his game
and we enjoyed splendid feast.
Thanks. May your gun never miss fire,
and your shadow never grow less.

There must, says an exchange, be no
surrender of public opinion as to the
pistol carrying habit. 1t must be
stopped. There is no excuse for it.
No good can come of it, and it is every
way wrong, evil and bad. Pistol car
rylng has no place in a civilized and
well governed community.
NoTIoE. All who have watches.

The young Marietta man who was

Piled, mo, | am an anti-expansionist
My family is as large as J. care to have
