LIGHT FOR THE ODD FELLOWS.
Electric Lights In Business Section
Either Friday or Saturday Night.
THE PLANT WAS TESTED MONDAY

An announcement pleasing to
the business men of the town is
the assurance that they will be
furnished with electric lights
towards the latter part of this
week, either on Friday or Satur-
day evening. The wiring of the
commercial circuit has been com
pleted, and the linemen are now
striuging wires in the residence
sections. A test of the boiler and
machinery at the plant was made
on Monday, and everything was
found to be in fine order. The
ease and lightness with which the
new machinery runs is in striking
contrast TO the clatter and rattle
of the old plant.
Mr. G. Z. Pierson, who is mana.
ger OF the plant, gave out the as.
Surance TO representative OF HE
TINES that the whole of the bust
ness section would be lighted by
Saturday evening. The western
and eastern residence sections will
also very probably be lighted, and
the work of wiring the remainder
Of the city will be pushed with the
greatest possible haste.
The EGGPLANT has been over
hauled and ice making will be be.
gun next week.

DRAGGED TO DEATH BY HORSE
Fannie, Elevsn-ysar.0ld Daughter Of W,
C. Ashburn Of Hazel Run, Fatally
Injured While Riding.
SADDLE TURNED AND SHE FELL.

Fannie Ashburn, the eleven
year.old daughter of Mr.. W. G..
Ashburn, who lives about 4 miles
east of Bonnie Terre and near the
village of Hazel Run, was fatally
injured on Monday afternoon
about 4 80 o'clock, while horse
back riding, by the saddle turning
and throwing her headforemost to
the ground. Her foot hung in the
stirrup and she was dragged about
fifty yards before the pony could
be stopped.
She and her nine-year old broth
er, Pope, were out riding, trying a
new pony which their father had
recently purchased 1t is not
known exactly how the accident
occurred, but it is supposed that
the girth was not frightened sufli'
GENTLY, and for some reason the
saddle turned. just ms soon rs
she fell, her brother attempted to
stop the pony and finally did get
hold of the bride. He says that
when he caught hold of the bride
the pony was so hard to stop that
he himself was dragged from his
horse.
The little girl was taken home as
soon as aid could be summoned,
and DR.. &. p. Poston of Bonnie
Terre was called In. She retained
consciousness from the time of the
accident till 9:30 O'Clock the same
evening. when she died. She eX-
perienced no pain and was not
bruised in the least from the acct.
dent. Death resulted from inter.
nal hemorrhage, very likely caused
by an internal strain rather than
from a kick by the horse. All the
symptoms Of her death seemed to
indicate that she died from loss of
blood, as she gradually became
more and more fatigued until the
end.
Fannie was an exceptionally
bright child aud was the only girl
in the family. She had just re.
Gently recovered from very Sc
rious attack of appendicitis.
The funeral was held at the
home near Hazel Run at 10 O'Clock
Wednesday morning Rev A. f.
Saffold conducted the ceremonies
and the burial was in the family
burying ground.
