Presumably the preaching was of an or

but as people do not 90 to camp meet

would be presumption in us, and, no
doubt, many of orr readers would CON
slider us guilty of sacrilege, if we were
to attempt to associate the camp meet

As Mr. William Lockerman and fam
lily were passing through town on We'd
: uesday, their team became frightened at
the flying sails of the schooner Scarbor-
ough, lying near the Red bridge, and
started to ran. It is probable there
would have been no damage done. had
not Mr.. Lockerman's team collided with
the carriage of Miss Lillian Cade. In
doug this a wheel was torn from Mr..
Lockerman's dayton, and he thrown to
the ground, and the left shoulder blade
torn from its socket. The horses con-
tinued their run and threw the remain
ing occupants out in front of I. B..
Welch's drug store. They we're uuiu-
jured. The horses were finally stopped
! near J. B Atkins residence. DR.. r. B.
Hopkins rendered the necessary medi-
! cal aid to Mr.. Lockerman, who is doing
= well under the circumstances.
