Ter House building on which he was
at work, striking his head on some

the worse for his shaking up.

few days with relatives in Cincinnati.
Miss Lena Belford, who has been

of the proceeds were given to the
church.
The Lynchburg M. W. AS. cele-
brated their fourth anniversary on

Hall. Several members from Buford,
Westboro and Martinsville were pres
ent. Addresses by neighbors Ander-
son. of Buford, Prof. Stamants, of

Mr.. and Mrs. Arlie Clark, of New

f. L. Willett has discovered very
valuable sand and gravel bank on the
land which he purchased of the Bob
bitt heirs. There seems to be an un-
limited mine of fine white sand and
gravel which is just what Lynchburg
is very much in need of owing to the
numerous buildings which are being
erected every year.
Our City Dads and E. L. and w. w.
trustees met at the power house last
Friday to discuss the ways and means
of providing water for our village.
1t seems that the we'll at the power
house, also those of Freiburg and
Workman, which were supposed to
possess an unlimited amount of water
and would supply both town and dis
tillery with all the water needed, has
fallen considerably short of the esti-
mate placed upon them, and Lynch
burg will have to look elsewhere for
her water supply. After discussing
the subject for while they started
on prospecting tour to the Sulphur
Spring, which is about one and a half
miles north of town, where there is
water in abundance. Dan Murphy
surveyed the ground from the spring
to the power house and found the
spring to be about nine feet lower
than the power house. A committee
was appointed to look after the mat
ter, and it is probable that arrange
ments win soon be made to pipe the
water to town.
