Betten, their little 2-year-old child, while toddling around the room, found a bottle of carbolic acid and swallowed some of the poison. Drs. Hayes and Jordan were immediately summoned, but neither science nor faithful work could save the little ones life, and ere two hours had passed the deadly drug had done it's work, and life was extinct in the one who was so dear to a mother and father. The sympathy of our entire cit izenship is with the afflicted parents.- Flashlight.
 We are informed that the railroad off, cials are soon to give Harrison some understanding Of what the company pro- poses to do in regard to building into that town. No formal acceptance of the $25 ,000 bonus raised by Harrison for the road has ever been made by the railroad people; it has been rumored for some time that more money will be 5neces- sary to secure the road, ,as Harrison, like Becryville, is very difficult .points to reach with the main line of the road. Improvement has been comparatively at a standstill at Harrison ever since work began on the road, pending development as to what the railroad was going to do. The people of Harrison will experience a great relief when the matteris settled, if the decision places the road in their reach. We hope that the town will get the main line of the road without cost in addition to what they have offered.
