Laura French Burned,

Miss Laura French, formerly teacher
of the Mottsville school and well
known in this valley, was severely
burned about noon last Tuesday, in a
fire which destroyed the mill, residence
and barn of her father, Greeley French,
near Silver City. The Virginia Report
says Mrs. French and Miss Laura were
alone in the house when they heard
an explosion in the mill and in a mo-
ment it was in flames. The house and
barn are adjacent to the mill and every
thing was on fire in a few minutes.
Miss French ran into one of the rooms
that had not as yet caught fire to save
some things, but SO quickly did the
flames spread that when she attempted
to retire she found escape cut off. Her
clothing caught fire, but she finally
managed to get out after being severe
ly burned about the face, shoulders,
breast and back. A messenger was
Immediately sent for a physician. The
young lady's injuries while severe, are
not dangerous.
There was a small assay office con-
nected with the mill and it is supposed
the fire was caused by an explosion of
some of the chemicals. Everything
was totally destroyed and the damage
will amount to about 5000.

Pointed Paragraphs.

The hay dealer does business on a
large scale.
AS a man grows older he swaps his
ideals for ideas.
The less we have the easier it is to
share it with others.
Life seems to be made up of ardent
desires and vain regrets.
Some men don't have to travel very
far when they go to the bad.
1t doesn't pay to be prodigal son
unless you are partial to veal.
Many married couple could save
money out of what bachelor spends.
1t is better to be imposed on occas-
ionally than to doubt indiscriminate-
ly.
Fine feathers may not make fine
birds, but they are apt to make costly
hats.
If you want to hear a hard luck
story just ask man for money he
owes you.
Men listen when money talks. Prob
ably that is why we sometimes hear of
hush money.
Women are partial to tight wearing
apparel, but they draw the line at
tight husbands.
The average man imagines that if
all the fools were dead his opinions
would soon become universal.
An Ohio girl who is unable to speak
above a whisper has had forty-seven
offers of marriage. A word to the
wise, etc.

trouble are fortunate in one respect at
least-they seldom meet with disap-
pointment.-Er
