Dutch Tulip Farms.

After a trip to Holland to witness
the annual display of tulips Charles
Il. Hutchinson recently returned to
Chicago. While away Mr., Hutchinson
paid a flying visit to London and Paris,
but spent nearly all his time inspecting
the tulip farms Of the Dutch people.
"a visit to Holland while the tulips
+ in bloom is one Of the most pleas
ant trips n can take" said Mr..
Hutchinson. II went over for that
special purpose and vas amply repaid
FOR my trouble. It is a gorgeous sight
to drive through the tulip farms, The
flowers begin to bloom about the mid
die Of April and continue until the LIST
of May. The country for miles is "a
mass of the blooms, and it is almost
like fairyland. The people raise tulips
there like we do wheat and corn here.
They gain a good income from the sale
Of the bulbs. Chicago Tribune.

they would be hurt. Her solicitude

A Runaway Accident.

One day last week our venerable
friend, Mr.. John Hendrix, of the
Fair Play section, came down to
visit his. grand daughter, Mrs. j. w.
Bailey, at the Mcclure parsonage in
Centerville Township. After spend
ing day and night there he started
next morning for Pelzer to visit
some more grand children. When
he reached some distance this side
of Taylor's Creek, his horse became
frightened, darted off suddenly and
threw Mr.. Hendrix out of the buggy,
fracturing one rib on his left side
and severely hurting his right hand,
nearly all the skin and flesh on top
being torn off. He was soon dis
covered by friends, who gently car
ried hip, back to the parsonage, aud
summoned DIR. Pepper to dress the
wounds. Mr.. Hendrix has reached
the ripe old age of 81 years, is re-
markedly hale and hearty, walks as
erect as a young man, has no use
for eyeglasses, and will, we hope,
soon be mp. and out again. .--Ander-
