world. Your mothers and grandmoth-

TOWN TOPICS.

Two Of the heaviest rains of the

begun at the Oil mills.

WALKED INTO THE FIRE.
A One-Year-OId Child Terribly
Burned.

A few days ago the one-year, old child
OF Mr.. Miles Blackshear was terribly
burned, and its recovery is doubtful,
1t seems that the little tot was in the
yard where bed of glowing Goals had
been left under wash pot, and going
TOO close it stumbled and fell upon
them.
It's screams quickly brought some
one from the house, but when the child
was reached it was terribly burned,
the Goals having come in contact with
nearly every part of its body. At first
it was thought the burns would prove
fatal, but medical assistance was
quickly summoned and everything
done to save the life of the little one.
Although it still suffers fearfully il
is some better, and hopes are now en-
tertained of its recovery.

CRAZY MAN MISSING.

GVipH SOuHtJ man.
For some time the mind of Mr.. Vir-
Gil King, whose home is near BenevO-
lence, this county, has been deranged
and recently his symptoms of mental
disorder have been of a more violent
character. 1t was deemed prudent that
he be confined, and Sheriff Bynum
went Saturday to the home of the UNI
fortunate man. intending to bring him
to Cuthbert to stand trial on writ of
lunacy.
When Mr.. King saw the sheriff he
ran off: and since that time, though
the country for miles around has been
searched, no trace of the missing man
has been found. His relatives and
friends are much distressed about him,
fearing that he may have met his
death.
This case is indeed sad one. -Cuth-

the telegram, however, the strange
person had left town, but Sheriff
