HorcHKIssvILLE AND VICINITY.

A most horrible accident occurred at
the quarry in Minortown, last week from
an explosion Of dynamite. Drs Smith
and Rev nolds were called and removed
one of the men to the home of Mr. Barnes,
where they found it necessary to ampu-
tate both hands with exception Of one
finger on the left, which they are trying
to save. 1t is sad indeed, as he depends
on his daily work for support and only a
young man Of " years.

DEATH OF LEVI SQUIRE.

Again we have been called upon to part
with one of our respected citizens and
and friend. On Tuesday morn
ing, February 6, Levi Squire passed
quietly away. The immediate cause of
mis- death was pneumonia and heart dis-
ease. He only lacked one month of so
years of age. mr. Squire had occupied
his farm with his estimable wife over 80
years, was good citizen and one who
will be missed from this community. He
was member for many years of the
Methodist church. He was buried on
Thursday. Although the day was stormy
a large coneourse of friends met to pay
this last tribute here upon earth to the
departed. His widow, who is left all
alone, has the sympathy of all in her be-
reavement. He leaves besides his widow
two daughters, Mrs G. W. Ford and Mrs
Charles Thomas, both residing here in
town.

FORCE WORKING IN EARNEST.
Grading of Lee Street Was Begun
Monday.

Bright and early yesterday morning
large force was put to work on Lee
street, and that prominent thorough
fare will soon be transformed into "a
thing of beauty and joy forever" Picks

the bumps, hills and ridges will soon
be brought to an even grade. Be-
tween the artesian we'll and Church
street the roadway will be brought to q
uniform width of thirty-four feet, some
ten feet wider than at present, which
will tend to improve the appearance of
the street wonderfully. In front of
Col. A. K. Schumpert's residences the
street will be cut down three feet,
as at other points. Altogether the

prove the appearance of that residence
street, one of the handsomest in the

IT HANGS ABOUT NINE CENTS,
Market Will Neither Go Up Nor Go

With the bulls lined up on one side
and the bears on the other the cotton
market refuses to bulge in either di-
rection, and hangs exasperatingly
about the nine cent figure for January
contracts. While the downward ten
dency appears to have been checked,
any upward tendency is muzzled the
moment it starts. The market lost ten
or twelve points yesterday, falling
from 04, Saturdays closing figures,
to 8.94. Some of the local cotton men
do not look for better market until
after the Presidential election next
Tuesday. 1t Will probably go whirl-

whether higher or lower may depend
