year-old son Of Mr.. w. F. Bobo, who
happened to a serious accident three
weeks ago by log falling on his head
fracturing his skull, Is improving and
we are glad to say he is out Of danger.
He was unconscious for three days and
when consciousness returned, 1t was
with much regret that the parents no
ticed that his right side was partially
paralyzed. The paralysis Is disappear
ling now, however, and his entire re-
covery seems to be only matter OF
short while. .Diphtheria has about
lost his hold on the town; but there
are several cases scattered around
through the county.......Mr. j. s.
Thomas has resignd his position as as
sistant superintendent at the Union
cotton mills to accept the position OF
superintendent Of the Monarch cotton
mill when completed. Mr.. Thomas is
said to be a good mill man and thor
oughly up in the business. Some
time last Saturday Mr.. Jno. ]. Purcell
left his store and other keys on his
desk. Some one. during the evening
picked them up. Mr.. Purcell did not
miss them until he sent for his mail
Sunday, when he discovered he did not
have his keys. He supposed he would
find them on his desk Monday. When
Mr.. Con Allen opened up the store
on Monday morning, he at once dtscov-
cred that some one had been In 1t Sum
day. He found a necktie on the floor
and a white shirt on the safe; but did
not suspicion a theft as the door was
locked all right, until Mr.. Purcell came
in and said he had lost his store keys.
It seems the robber must have been
considerably excited as he not only
dropped the things mentioned; but he
left an umbrella on the outside OF the
door, as he went inside. 1t was found
by Policeman Brock. 1t is to be hoped
tnat the thief will be caught and dealt
with as he deserves.
